Hello everyone!!! My nameis Ashley, and I currently reside in the DFW metroplex. I am expecting my first child on June 22, 2008. I am a recent graduate from Texas A&M-University - Commerce(May 2006). I am also in graduate school attending TAMU-Commerce in working towards a MBA. Right now I am focused on giving birth to a wonderful child, and getting my career going in full force. Me and my baby father get along great and we are both happy and ready for our liitle one to be born!!!

January 9, 2008

Well...I am 16 weeks and 1 day today! I just got my AFP test back and everything is 100% fine. I just can't wait to find out what I am having on January 24!!! I haven't gained any weight and still suffer from mild morning sickness, but everything seems to be getting better. I am just waiting on my baby bump to show!!!!

January 18, 2008

Hello everyone!!! I am super excited about next week. I get to find out the sex of the baby. I still have mild morning sickness which strikes in the evening time, but other than that I feel great. I am able to eat more. I just started back to school Monday, so I am going to be VERY busy in the months to come. I still feel as though I have not gained any weight, and I don't have a bump yet!!!

January 24, 2008

Today is a wonderful day!!! I just found out that I am having a healthy baby girl!!! I am soooo excited!!! Now, all I have to do is think of a name, and it's time to go shopping!!!!

February 7, 2008

This has been an absolutely horrible week. I had the flu for about 2 days and I am still trying to recover. I can't wait for this pregnancy to be over with!!!!

February 20, 2008

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday. I had to take the glucose test, hopefully I passed considering I ate some candy!! I totally forgot!!! I will find out by tomorrow, if everything is ok. Other than that, I havent felt any movements, just flutters. My weight is pretty stable!! My next appointment is March 11!!!

February 28, 2008

Well....I have just been informed that I have to take to glucose test again, becuase the lab lost my blood. :( My next appointment is March 11, 2008, and I am happy to say that I feel my little girl kicking all of the time...:)

March 12, 2008

Well, I had a doctors appointment yesterday. I didn't get a chance to speak with the doctor because he was busy delivering a baby. So the nurse just weighed me and took my blood pressure. I have not had any major issues, everything is going pretty smoothly. My next appointment is April 1!! Hopefully I can get another ultrasound within the next month.

March 19, 2008

I just recieved a call that I passed my glucose test!!! :) Everything else is going well...Can't complain!!!

April 3, 2008

I had a doctors appointment on Tuesday. I just found out that I gained 27 pounds :( I really need to lay off of the sweets. I am most likely going to start exercising as well. At the doctors appointment he indicated that the baby's heartbeat was irregular, so I am concerned. He is sending me to a specialist to get an ultrasound. I will have the results on Monday!!!

May 22, 2008

I have updated in a while, but I just found out that I have tested positive for Group B Strep. I am very nervous and scared that something might happen to my baby. Tomorrow I will have an internal exam :(.....We will see how things go.

Hey lady... Just wanted to stop by and say congrats. Your daughter is beautiful.


OhioMomma2HH - Monday, 23 June
I had heard the same things, my doctor proved to be that is approved by the FDA, they can not use drugs that are not approved, it's illegal! The only side effects that I had were almost instant cramps, let me tell you that little pill is no joke about starting labor! Good luck!

thanks!

Just read your message in the induce section... My due date is today-- I'm actually going to the hospital at 3 pm so they can insert the cervidil... My doc also said the other day that I could have the baby this week if I wanted to........so ........ here goes! I'm nervous but I'm sure it'll work out. Good luck with your choice!!

I joined in March 07'. By July 07' I lost 36 lbs. Only to get prego in Sept. *Sigh* I love the program. Only thing is sometimes it's a bit difficult going into the office 3x's/week. Although it is helpful. Can you just buy the bars/take off without paying the weekly fee? If so, that would be great. Although I do still have about 4-5 months of my membership paid for including bars. I was so thankful that they work with you when you become pregnant. I would have been so mad if I would have paid all that money for nothing. Only bad thing is they want you to wait 4 weeks after baby is born before you start the program again, and want a doctors release. :( Of coarse if you breast feed it's longer.

nah it wasnt difficult to switch to formula...at first it was just me feeding him--then after i got my milk coming in steadily i would pump when i went to my parents house so they could feed him if they wanted so he just automatically took the bottle w/ no problems.plus they make the bigger nipples for bottles that are supposively good for babies that are breastfeeding-although the regular ones worked just fine for me. but i slowly switched him to formula--dont just go from breastfeeding one day to formula the next....do like 1 feeding every other time and gradually switch your baby over...

Hello Ashley, Congratulations on your little baby girl! I'm expecting a girl, too, but not due until September/October. But this is my 6th child. I have breastfed all mine, and all but one really thrived on breastfeeding, and I loved it. You need at least 2 maternity bras. Nursing pads if you are inclined to "leak" - I never have, but a lot of moms do. Also look through your wardrobe and consider breastfeeding: shirts and dresses with buttons up the front are ideal; t-shirts are fine if you just hitch the hem up to your underarm and cover your exposure with baby's blanket. But dresses that don't button up the front are completely unsuitable! Keep it in mind when going to give birth! (I wore such a dress when I gave birth to Baby #4 and it was so embarrassing to have to hitch it up from the bottom to feed her, exposing myself completely!) Also, I see a comment that someone has said you should not diet, and I agree that sensible healthy eating is way better for you and Baby, but what you eat is not that important. What you MUST do is DRINK lots and lots of water and dilute juice. Avoid alcohol and limit caffiene, as they dehydrate you. To produce milk for baby, all your body needs, really, is water. And if you've gained a few excess kilos during pregnancy, breastfeeding is a way of giving them to Baby! You'll get in shape much faster than if you don't breastfeed. But you do NOT need to eat more than normal. Just drink water. Allow baby to take your pregnancy calories. Might still take a few weeks or months to get your pre-pregnancy figure back, but be patient. I'm only 22 weeks along with this one, but have already gained over 22lbs, but I was the same with the others, and lost the weight within about 4 moths of birth. Good luck and I do wish you a fantastic birth experience. ** baby dust **

Well if you are breat feeding you shouldn't diet, but generally diets are just for making money, you are better off eating healthy and and exercising the weight will come off if you really want it to. You will also keep it off for good if you do it this way. Most people put on the weight they lost with the commercial diets that is why it is such a booming business.

Thanks for the advice I will definitely look into finishing early. WOW! I don't know how you do it you must be superwoman! Congrats on your pregnancy I hope everything goes well for you, you definitely deserve it.
