My name is Meghan M. and I found out I was pregnant at about 4 weeks, through home testing, a urine test and then blood testing at a hospital...this was something I wanted to be very sure about.
I was shocked at first by all of this, but it has really turned out to be an amazing journey so far. I love getting to feel her move and see her and know that she'll be with us in a few short months. It's exciting and a bit scary all at once, but I know God will carry me through like he always has. I pray everyday for him to watch over me and my little girl and my new family. I love them all so very much.
Life is a miracle, and its happening right now inside of me I'm glad that as women we get the chance to experience something so beautiful and moving in our lives that can't be explained to anyone who doesn't themselves go through it.
* Its truly a blessed experience *
What she senses for you
The day you deliver, outside will be windy. Your baby will arrive in the early evening.
After a labor lasting approximately 4 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 8 pounds, 5 ounces, and will be 18 inches long. This child will have hazel eyes and a little patch of brown hair.
But there is more. I sense that you feel somewhat alone. Have faith; you are not alone. Why don't you visit the message boards and talk to other expectant mothers? I'm sure you will find you have much in common.
Quotes:
The moment a child is born, the
mother is also born. She never existed before. The
woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is
something absolutely new.
- Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
you must raise children yourself.
- Chinese Proverb
Mothers reflect God's loving presence on earth.
- William R. Webb
Of all the rights of women,
the greatest is to be a mother.
- Lin Yutang
God could not be everywhere
and therefore he made mothers.
- Jewish proverb
Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back home.
- Bill Cosby
I think my life began with waking up
and loving my mother's face.
- George Eliot
The Baby's Development
Funny Side of Baby's Development
The Countdown Begins!!
The Countdown Begins!!10 Weeks Left!
Yikes!! I made it into Week 30 already! Who would have thought that after the first trimester, time would fly by so quickly!! I'm starting to feel the woes of the third trimester these past few days...I can barely breathe when I'm sitting at my desk, I've been feeling nauseous again, plus terrible heartburn ( I eat tums like candy) and the whole waking up a million times at night isn't helping me to sleep much...OVerall though I feel great mostly, just these symptoms come on occasionally...usually at work when I want to leave anyway. I just can't believe that she's going to be here so soon....the idea is getting a little scary now that it's becoming more real. I think the idea that I might not be prepared with everything I would like to get done scares me most...but labor and all that, I know God with take care of me, Tony and our baby...I just hope that I know what's going on when it all happens!!!
9 Weeks Left!
Here we go into the single digits of what's left of my pregnancy. I could lie and say that I'm sad it's going to be ending soon, but honestly I'm exhausted...making a whole new person is not an easy job...it takes patience, sacrifice, responsibility, physical exertion, time management, planning, coping skills, and a lot of peanut butter m&ms! I think at this point in my pregnancy the worries I thought were just over exaggerated about what labor will be like..are actually starting to kick in and u know what...I'm a little scared....actually I'm a lot scared. I think that this pregnancy has truly been a journey and God wanted me to learn something here. And I did. I learned a lot about who I am, and what's important to me. I care so much about this little girl and I really want to make her happy. She's already done so much for me and has no idea yet who I even am. So today I'm just grateful...I'm grateful I have everything I need and more....I'm grateful that so many people love me and this beautiful little girl...I'm grateful that I finally see God in my life today and that He continues to bless me and my new family everyday. Today...I'm happy. Oh and PS...MY BELLY BUTTON STILL HAS NOT POPPED OUT YET!! WHAT THE HECK!
8 Weeks Left!!!
The week of AKA...My stress week. I just found out this week that Anthony would be going out of town on Friday, Saturday (he'll be back on Sunday for the shower) then gone again MOnday, Tuesday!! I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!! I climbed into bed and cried my eyes out after I found out. I can't stand being without him..even for a minute...but the whole having to sleep with him not there...not very comforting. I honestly woould rather have him here than the money h'll be making...He was gone alot on business trips when we first got pregnant and now at the end of the pregnancy his trips are even more disconcerning. I just want my man by my side as much as possible right now :( Anyways as far as being pregnant goes...it's now starting to take its strain on me. Sitting at my desk all day is hurting my back and belly ALOT. I'm starting to feel VERY fatigued and worn down. I haven't been nervous about the birth lately or even all that bothered by all of what still needs to be done...I'm going to wait till after my showers to stress about that!! I can't wait till this is finally over and I can stop thinking about "countdowns" and "days to go" that CONSUME my mind!!
7 weeks Left!!
So here we are with a little less than 7 weeks to go...It seems like time is in warp speed lately. So much is happening and is yet to happen. I found out this week that I won't have a job to come back to after my maternity leave. Our company is not doing so well with Michigan's economy and they can't afford to bring me back. I was really sad when I first found out, but honestly, I wasn't making what I could be making and I wasn't finding my job all that fulfilling anyways. I'm really glad things worked out the way they did because, I probably would have let myself become very stagnant at a job that in the end I didn't even really care for. Now I have a chance at some new opportunities and I'm really excited. Well now on to the baby... We had our shower this past weekend and everything was so perfect and so beautiful. We've got the next one on the 18th and then my work is throwing us one on the 17th, so our schedules are looking pretty full for the weekends in the month of May. The baby;s room is a mess at this point... I went through everything after the shower and sorted out what needs to be returned and what we are going to keep. Next we need to start the painting phase of her room....then decorating...then the finishing touches. I'm excited to get everything all organized and ready. It's all starting to become VERY real for me and Tony. He talks about how he can't wait to hold her all the time, and the things he wants to do with her as she gets older...like goin to Disney World, teaching her how to play basketball and just taking her everywhere with us...all the fun stuff about being a daddy. He's really going to be a great dad, and such an amazing husband with how great he treats me and takes care of all of us.
6 Weeks Left!!!
So we have a little less than 6 weeks to go at this point. I was feeling down about my job the last few days but now I feel great! I became really accepting of everything and am ready to work out these next few weeks...about 4 or 5 left till I take leave....who knows maybe even until delivery YIKES. But I may not deliver until a week or two late...I've felt that way since about my 25th week or so. Plus at my doctor's appointment yesterday she said the baby was measuring kind of small...so they'll just keep an eye on that and see what happens. I think she's just fine, we all run small in my family. So this weekend we have our second baby shower woohoo! then tony and I will get to relax on the weekends and start being able to go back to church together...it has been over a month since we've gone and we both are feeling disconnected and need to get back to going, and praying together at night and reading the bible. Lets see this week in pregnancy (34 wks) I am sore, but not too bad, craving freezer pops like mad, have gained 5 pds since my last appointment (no idea how that was possible) I think it was cuz I just ate lunch...I've gained close to 30 lbs now since this whole journey has started! All of which I can't wait to lose!!! Kind of jealous anthony can go running all the time, when I would looove to go for a long jog to ease my stress, but I honestly wouldn't make it around the block right now!

you probably lost ur plug...keep an eye out cuz that means ur dialating and let ur doc know ASAP
JayW - 31 hours ago
Could be your mucas plug! I think they are like fingerprints...no two are alike...some are brown, some bloody, some just clear and look like mucus.
I lost mine 6 weeks before I had my daughter...so it could be!
excited2bmommy - 31.7 hours ago
Hey..sounds like you may have lost your mucous plug!
yari - Thursday, 15 May
I have heartburn so bad it triggers reflux that I have to go throw it up. Nice intro huh? Anyhow the wives tale is true, try not to eat anything after 9 pm (for me spaghetti is a killer so is chocolate so oreos before 9). When it hits I run and grab a few gulps of milk and I promise it is INSTANTLY gone. So weird. No oreos and milk won't balance it out =(. Just the milk, so try that before you lay down, left side helps too, as soon as i hit my right I feel it. Good luck!
kara8385 - Tuesday, 13 May
I know, 6 weeks sounds so far, yet so close!! I am just way to excited. I t can not come soon enough.
Do yall have any name choices picked out already? or just still have no idea? Picking a name was the hardest thing ever. I had no problem with the girls name choice, I guess becasue that is what I was hoping for, but the boys name took us FOREVER to choose. When that perfect name comes to you, you will know it.
Is your b/f getting nervous and scared? Dylan keeps telling me he is scared, but while he is saying he is scared, he has this huge smile on his face like he can't wait also. It is so cute. It is awesome to see him extrememly excited about little Mason just becasue when we found out we were preggo, the first couple days were a nightmare with him. His mom had just passed and he really couldn't take any more and he was so upset that i was preggo. Like I said it took me 3 days to talk to him and give him all the good. But now I just love seeing him get all excited! What about you?
Ok today is going by really slow. Who invented 5 day work weeks with 2 days off??? They must be fucking crazy!!!!!
pregnanthairdresser - Tuesday, 13 May
hey doll was reading your weeks left updates and its like you were in my head i feel the same way about everything... Countdowns consume my life..every day i count down.. and although a bit different..my bf is a cop and when he makes arrests (which is alot cause hes strictly a gun guy) he doesnt come home till late the next day..sleeping alone while pregnant the worst feeling ever and i really want him around more than ever too..so i know what u mean..Hope ur doing well
kara8385 - Monday, 12 May
WELL I DO HAVE TO SAY THAT MASON'S ROOM IS COMING ALONG GREAT. WE ARE ALMOST DONE. I HAVE EVERYTHIGN WASHED FINALLY AND PUT AWAY INTO DRAWERS OR HANGING UP. WE JUST HAVE A FEW MINOR THINGS TO FINISH UP IN THERE.
THAT IS SO AWESOME THAT YOUR MOM CAN WATCH YOUR LITTLE GIRL INSTEAD OF TAKING HER TO DAYCARE. MY MOM LIVES IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD AS WE DO (PLANNED THAT ALSO) SO I DO HAVE HER CLOSE FOR WHEN EVER WE WANT TO GO AND DO SOMETHING OR NEED A BABYSITTER. THANK GOD FOR THAT. HOPEFULLY BY OUR NEXT BABY, (SEVERAL YEARS FROM NOW) I WILL BE STAYING AT HOME ONCE THEY ARE BORN. THAT IS OUR GOAL SO HOPEFULLY HE CAN START MAKING SOME GOOD MONEY.
I AM SO JEALOUS THAT YOU GET TO STAY HOME FOR 3 MONTHS. I REALLY WISH I COULD. THE ONLY REASON I AM COMING BACK SO EARLY IS BECAUSE MY BOSS AND I ARE THE ONLY 2 PEOPLE IN OUR PURCHASING DEPARTMENT AND HE IS TAKING HIS FAMILY VACATION IN MID-AUGUST AND ONE OF US HAS TO BE THERE. I LOVE MY JOB, BUT THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT SUCKS ABOUT IT IS ONE OF US HAS TO BE THERE. SO I HAVE TO BE BACK BEFORE HE LEAVES FOR AT LEAST 2 DAYS SO HE CAN CATCH ME UP. I BETTER GET A DAMN GOOD RAISE WHEN I GET BACK FROM MY LEAVE FOR MAKING ME LEAVE MY BABY AT A DAYCARE. :(
DID YOU DO ANYTHING SPECIAL FOR MOTHER'S DAY?
kara8385 - Monday, 12 May
Oh I know, I don't know how some of the women make the time go by being at home already. I know there is cleaning and stuff, but my house isn't that big to clean. I would be sitting around alot. I have plenty of time to clean after work and on weekends or do what I need to do and work at the same time.
Anyways, well after the 7 weeks I am at home for, he will go into daycare. As much as I don't want to put him in there, we hve no other choice. I do have to say though he will be going to a good daycare and it is right down the road from my work so he won't be far away. And good lord, I have looked at so many daycares, and most of them want from 180-200 dollars for one week of daycare for an infant. That is sooo outrageous! Thank god the one we decided on was actually cheaper than that, still expensive, but way cheaper. I wish someone I knew stayed at home so they could watch him. I wish SIL wasn't so psycho otherwise I might let her watch him, but like I said PSYCHO!!! What are your plans for after you go back to work?
ellmomma - Monday, 12 May
Thanks for the advice! I think you are right, I will probably do that too. It's so nice of people to have showers for us, and it helps so much, that's probably the least we can do to thank them. I wanted to tell you too that I think your belly is just right! Mine is about the same size as yours, from the looks of your pictures, and people have been telling me I'm small too. Maybe it's because it's our first babies, or maybe from being in good shape before being pregnant...or maybe just genetics. It's fine by me though! :) Who knows, we may still blow up sometime in the next six weeks and get huge! Well good luck with everything, thanks again for your opinion.
lilmama17 - Monday, 12 May
heyy, im due the 27th of June and im about the same size as you, people keep telling me ohh your gonna have a small baby and stuff like that, and its really anoying sometimes haha

I'm the big sister =) (Two younger sisters and a little brother). I need to clean! I keep procrastinating! I have to write two essays for school today too . uuggghhh! Thanks for letting me vent!
FutureMama - Wednesday, 30 April
Congrats on your girl! Your like me I have to carry tums with me to!!! I get the worst heartburn! But eating the pickles is so worth it!
I am having a boy! I hate when my husband is away or working a lot. I know why he is doing it, so I can get whatever baby stuff or stuff I want but still I miss him so much!
raindrop0208 - Wednesday, 30 April
I need to go find something cute to wear to my baby shower too. It is such a hassle...Nothing seems to look flattering! And I still don't have a hostess gift either =/. I hope I have the energy to go shopping today =). Some days I feel great and others I'm just soooo exhausted! I guess I'll just have to make myself do it. I also have to clean and get the house ready because my moom and two sisters are coming in from out of town. I am getting more and more excited though! We are getting so close to meeting our baby girls**** How are you doing?
cherbear - Tuesday, 29 April
I feel the same way this week! Sooooooo tired. Last week I felt like nesting had kicked in... I couldn't sit still. This week I feel so lazy! Good luck w/ your baby girl!
AprilChristine - Monday, 28 April
I know, I get them all the time now too, and they are much stronger. Still painless, thank goodness for that. I can't beleive how far we have come either. I have G/D so I know it wont be any more then 8 weeks, cause they wont let me go over. So she will be here before I know it. I know what you mean about the busiest trimester. I have plans every weekend practically up till birth. We are having a girl too:). did you pick a name yet? We are naming ours Aubrey.
laceyj - Saturday, 26 April
hay congrats xx read ur writing and my belly button hasnt popped out yet eathier?! xxx
raindrop0208 - Thursday, 24 April
Some days I feel really happy and excited...other days I feel sick, lethargic, and depressed! I think the hormones just are out of control! I can't wait till the my baby girl is here though! Even though at the birthing class that I just went to on Sat. the instructor said that 4-5 days after you give birth that the "baby-blues" will hit as your body shifts 20-something hormones! fun... She said it should only last for about a week and that if it lasts longer that's when you go see the doctor. I always wondered how a mom could feel so sad after having a new baby, (I never thought that would be a problem for me!) Now I'm a little worried because the physical-emotional reactions are so closely tied together...and ARE really hard to control!
I'm having my baby shower on May 3rd and I can't wait! Have you had yours yet. And "yes", I still have a lot to do too. I keep waiting to get that burst of energy I keep hearing about!!!
raindrop0208 - Tuesday, 22 April
That sucks! You should get to relax when your pregnant. He needs to start sharing some of the responsibility with you. ...makes me mad just reading it! Try to take some time to just rest and pamper yourself. I know we will be exhausted when a babies come!!!
clarejustin - Saturday, 19 April
As long as i know some other people are getting it then I'm not as worried. It kind of freaks me out too...definitly doesn't feel like hiccups. But probably normal.
melissa-xo - Friday, 18 April
haha.. Oh I know believe me. But I just gave birth January 2007 - 15 months ago - and then 16 months prior to that as well! haha... So believe me, I know what its like, I'm not looking forward to doing it again. Don't get me wrong, the end of pregnancy is NOT a piece of cake at all, but I'll take it any day over labour! haha. Is this your first? Or how many do children do you have?
CarlYHamp - Friday, 18 April
i so know how u are feeling!! the last week or so.. i've been feeling so sick again! i dont get it !!!!!! some nights im up all night cause my body just HURTS. i'm so scared about labor!!! but hey at the end of the day.. i dont think we will be sorry.. hehehe wish u the best!
