Wow I'm Pregnant: It took about 3 months. caleb and I decided that we wanted to start a family after many many conversations, we decided to try but it seemed like every pregnancy test was negative we even went to the hospital pregnancy clinic one wendsday where they gave free tests...negative,I cried that day eventually November 7th came along, the day i was said to have concieved.December 2nd, we actually found out the cause of all the nasuea, all the vomiting..there was a little baby floating around in my tummy after all. It took doctors to figure it out, apparently HPT's didn't like us very much.

~In August-TTC~


Telling the Parents: well my mom was at the hospital with me and caleb so yea...she actually told caleb's parents,for a while our parents let us know the options,abortion and adoption..my family had called planned parenthood obviously to schedule a abortion but i was not having that!

First trimester:well my mom starting getting excited about the little baby=],we saw her on the screen for the first time and it was love,on December 24th.Too bad my doctor was a douche bag,i have a great one now thank goodness.well I puked blood and puked everything else,got hospitalized,etc.wasn't so pleasant...pretty much the same in the 2nd trimester which is almost over.heck i even puked today.my old doctor wouldnt give me vitamins so thats how the whole anemia thing came along,my new doctor immediatley checked me for sickle cell which douchebag didnt do,put me on iron pills..which i gotta take right now.ok,and also on horse pills..i mean prenatal vitamins lol.

~8 weeks~


~16 weeks scan~






Now: well i have a appointment on the 25th,hopefully soon we can find out the official day of the c-section.i'm experiencing braxton hicks which doesnt feel comfortable at all..obviously.Little miss Riley is a very active little girl every time she kicks me and caleb's hand,we fall in love with her all over again.Physically,I'm so tired,im having panic attacks,extremmme depression,my stomach cramps sometimes which i told my doc about,my back hurts etc.Im just focusing on gaining weight.i've aways been such a tiny little thing.4'11 around 100 pounds,always lol..but i know i've made progress.and im looking forward to me and caleb's 3d sonogram,and the may baby shower! me and my sister are due in july [her dd:july 28,mine july 31...and Caleb's brothers wife is due on his birthday july 4th] so it'll most likely be a double shower,should be fun.Oh and prom's in 14 days,i'll have pictures up of course!lol

Well i gotta go to the doctor every 2 weeks now.I just got done with my glucose test.drinking the glucerna [ i guess thats whats its called] wasnt bad at all,its just like orange soda..but the thing is i cant keep stuff down like that,not even water when i first wake up so i know i was bound to throw that up..which I did.in the video room lol.i was watching a birthing video while they got the blood results to my test.i have no problem watching births,hey its just a vagina,its all natural so ya..but its a little different when your already sick.on prom day i kept getting dizzy,like terribly...it happened today before i threw up.It seems to happen when i need to have a bowel movement,i wonder if that could somehow have something to do with it..?im not sure.well today i signed all the papers for the delivery.my doctor is really understanding,i let him know i wasnt taking the prozac he prescribed because of all the side effects,last night i saw a performance that caleb was apart of,he did great.the thing that sucks is..my anxiety/panic attacks have returned,for a while there i was able to do good in large amounts of people,guess not,it doesnt help that all his family was there and i feel like they think im so weird because im shy and lack good communication skills,but who cares right.well basically.um we finally went home then my nose started to bleed. as for the results..i failed the whole test.my blood sugar was reallly high and i didnt eat or drink at all,the nurse probably didnt believe me,i know i followed the rules because i complained to caleb the whole time about being hungry and thirsty lol.i have diabetes on both sides of my family,stuff of that nature.so on monday i goto the hospital and do the 3 hour test[me and caleb also have a baby class that night to at the same place grrr.to much hostpital-ige in one day...yes i just made that word up,im excited to learn stuff about babies,just not excited about the test].how on earth am i supposed to do that when fasting for just 12-8am. made me sick? plus they'll be taking the blood 4 times..and giving me a even bigger amount of the orange stuff...what in the world.needles themselves make sick.ha so lets see what happens.Im willing to do anything to ensure the safety of our little darling!
ps.dont you just love hearing your baby's heartbeat.it makes me happy everytime=]
i cant wait till saturday,we'll be getting a 3d scan done and my baby shower will be happening.i wanna see her!we havent had a ultrasound since february 21st.poopy!
