This is my first pregnancy and I am so excited. We have wanted this for a while now. My husband Mike is excited as well, but a little bit nervous as he should be. We have been together for almost 7 years and married for almost a year. He is the best thing that has happen to me. We have a GREAT relationship and expecting is bringing us closer. Both families are very supportive as well as friends. I cant wait until our buddle of joy is here. It is going to be awsome!!!!

I had my drs appointment today and all of my abnormality tests came back negative. Its such a relief, but I knew it would! Her heartbeat sounds great. I can feel her move more and more everyday. This has been a very joyful experience for me and my husband. We just cant wait until our little Aubrey is here!!!! We are ready to spoil her rotten! hehe! Next appointment is on April 10th and I wil be getting my final ultrasound. Hopefully they can confirm "A GIRL" so I can start shopping!!!!!! Good Luck to all you Prego's out there!!!!! LOL :)

I had my last and final ultrasound today. Everything looks great. Aubrey is about 1lb 5 ounces. She was kicking like crazy when the tech was moving the probe around. Dont think she liked that very much. Her heartbeat was also very good. I have gained a total of about 10-15 lbs so far. Everyone tells me I am pretty small to be almost 6 months, which kind of worries me, because I dont want her to be small. My husband says I should be lucky I am not HUGE. As long as the Dr. says Aubrey is normal weight, then we are happy!!! It was amazing because we were able to see alot of her features. It looks like she will look like her daddy!!! Cant complain. I will soon have to take the sugar test, which I am not looking forward to, but its all going to be worth it in the end. I cant wait until I can hold her in my arms!!!! I will be getting Aubrey's nursery together soon. Havent picked out bedding sets yet. Just looking around.

I have been really emotional lately!!! It seems like I cant control my feelings anymore. HELP???

April 17th, 2008

So today has been a really good day. I felt Aubrey kicking all day long. I LOVE that feeling!!! My emotions are not out of wack today. I feel better than I have been. I got to have a long talk with Mike and he agree's that my attitude has changed and that I am more emotional but he supports me and will deal with whatever may come. Awww how sweet. I love him!!!!! He understands what I am going through, "so he says" lol!

I have been having this ich on my belly, upper chest and boobs for about a week now and I decided to call my dr and see if its normal or something I need to worry about. She told me that it might be PUPPP. I never heard of such thing before now. I did lots of research and I seem to have all the symptoms except I am not in my 3rd trimester and I am having a girl. They say it usually occurs around 35 weeks and usually to woman that are having boys and this is there first pregnancy. My dr. told me to get some caladryl lotion and take some benedryl and if that doesnt help I have to go in to see her! I am hoping those 2 things will help what I have. Its very annoying!!! I cant sleep or concentrate on anything other than scratching!!!!! LOL! I am willing to go through anything to have my daughter healthy and safely. I love her so much. I never thought I could love someone I have never met before. Being pregnant is a great feeling. I am trying to enjoy every minute of it because I know when its all over, it will feel like it came and went at the blink of an eye! Although, I wish it would hurry so I can have my Aubrey in my arms!!!!! Good Luck to everyone.

I had a Dr. appoint this morning about my rash that I have developed. I thought it was going to be PUPPP, and sure enough it is. The thing that sucks is that there is nothing they can do about it. He just basically said it happens to some pregnant woman and it may last my whole pregnancy. I was told to just continue using cortisone and caladryl lotions. I figured those two were not working for me so I decided to try out Aveeno products. I got the Aveeno bath, bodywash and lotion. All for ichy, dry skin resulting in a rash. OMG this stuff really works. No wonder its soo expensive hehe! Its worth it! I have found my new product. For anyone that is going through this and cant seem to find anything helping, try the Aveeno products. It worked for me. Good Luck :)

Today I had an ultrasound so they could measure my cervix and all looks good. Aubrey weights 2 lbs 2 ounces. She is getting so big now. I cant wait until I can see her face to face. So far everything looks great. I am still waiting on my glucose and hemoglobin test results to come back. I was born with diabetes, so I think they are watching very closely. I am trying to stop alot of the sugar but its hard being prego and having cravings!!! Like right now, I want my ultimate craving..... icee or ice pops!! LOL!!! I pray that everything comes back normal. I am enjoying being pregnant so much now. Before it was frustrating because, I didnt really show and I just felt FAT. But now I have a belly and I am loving it. I love when I can just look down and see her kicks and punches!
