Okay, so I've never sat down to tell everyone about myself, so here I go... My name is Brittney, I'm 22 and will be having my first child in February of '08. Being pregnant has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I never knew I could love someone I don't even know, and love her so much!! I've been really sick throughout the whole pregnancy, in the beginning I had morning, noon, and night sickness...now we're just down to morning sickness (as of week 20). I think my emotions are on an all time high right now...I'm serious when I say I could be completely happy one moment, and in tears the next. Thank god for the wonderful man in my life, my mother who is a saint, and my two best friends…Who knows what I would do without them!! By the way...I'm having a GIRL!!

Would you let someone videotape the birth?: No way!
Are you excited about the birth, or scared?: A little of both but more excited.
Week 23- October 23, 2007----Okay, so the last time I updated I was being extremely impatient, and I was just ready to get this done and over with...well, since then...I have made plans to go home (to New Mexico) for Thanksgiving, my Mom is going to throw me a baby shower the Sat. after Thanksgiving...I'm so excited...
I had a Doctor appt. week ago, I gained 3lbs, they got all the results from my US back and everything looks GREAT!! In four weeks I'll have another appt., after my next appt. I will start going every two weeks. When I sit down and really think about the time, it blows my mind how quickly it is going.
We also just put an offer on a new house, a huge upgrade from where we are now. I love this new house it just needs a lot of work...when it comes to home projects I'm usually on top of it and willing to work day and night just to get it done, but being pregnant has totally changed that...It takes soooooo much out of me just to get the little things done...
So needless to say before the end of the year I have a TON of things going on...between going out of town, moving, Baby Shower(s), and all the holidays in between...I know time is going to FLY...
P.S. I am still going through the morning sickness…shouldn’t it be over with by now????
Week -27 - November 20, 2007----WOW...How time flies...I haven't updated in a really long time, so let’s see...We bought a new house, and just moved in this past weekend. I Love it...like I said there is a lot of work to do, but it's so nice to see everything coming together. I am so excited to finally get started on the nursery.
I am having my first Baby Shower the Saturday...I am going back to New Mexico for Thanksgiving and my Baby Shower. I can't believe how fast things are going by...I'm finally feeling well, as of the past two days have kept EVERYTHING down. I can really tell I'm starting to get big...I'm not sure how I feel about it. I look in the mirror and I don't see me anymore...which isn't really a bad thing. Other then getting tired and not being able to take a deep breath, I've been feeling good...I had a Dr. Appt. last week and everything looks good, I will start going every two weeks to see my Dr. now. I have one more 3D U/S in December, I will post pictures as soon as I can.
I hope all is well for everyone...only 13 weeks to go...

Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com
Hi there,
I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.
We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.
If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.
You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

G'day, How ya going? Congratulations, I just read your story it is so sweet and soooo true! I feel like that too. SO you are having a girl, wow! I didnt find out what I am having, gonna be a surprise.... The Doc slipped that I am having a girl but when I said I wasnt gonna find out he tried to cover it up by sayin that you cant really tell at that stage ( I was 20 weeks when he said it ) Anyways. Wish you all the best for the rest of your pregnancy and hope you have a happy and safe Christmas!

Hi, just want to thank you for the encouraging message about men that don't stick around for this wonderful experience. I, like many others, am also one of the women, and I became that when my husband left a week after we found out about the baby. Even thou the situation still sucks, it doesn't make me a victim, it made me the Women that stand up for my BABY even if I have to do it on my own... So thanx! :)
kristink21 - Friday, 5 Oct
I'm sorry ireally do get what you are saying. I'm just grouchy!! LOL!!! Congratulations!!!
louise - Friday, 5 Oct
Thanks for your post on the week 15 board....I am a victim of a loser of a partner...but you are absolutely right...I'm better off without him than to have him in my life and causing me grief! Good luck with your pregnancy :)

Pains in the butt bone... ooh,they hurt! In August, mine was so bad one day, I couldn't even stand up, it made me cry. But two days later the pain was gone! Weird!
ecstaticmommy2b - Thursday, 4 Oct
Hey!! I read what you wrote on the 20 week page about Dad's who don't want to stick around...I totally agree with you. After I got pregnant in May of this year...it was fine with me and my boyfriend but things went down hill and I told him if he thinks I'm about to choose between him and my child there IS no competition....We don't need him!! He couldn't have been the father he wanted to be anyways with the background he has...I'm not gonna get into that, but he pretty much has no life anymore after the decisions he made...With that said, reading what you wrote really made me happy!! I'm having a girl as well and due in February on the 18th! Good luck!!

Congratulations! I like what you said about hte fathers skipping out I have a friend that has a 6 year old and soon as she said she was pregnant he left has only seen that baby twice that child is alot better off with out him now she is pregnant again and the same thing he left. The child nor the mom needs that kind of stress in it's life. I was like you with my first child I was so sick with her I was weven sick about 6 months after I had her it was awful. Congrats again take care!

Congrats!

natsfirsttime - Thursday, 4 Oct
you go girl! i am a single mom and damn proud he is a piece of shit and he will continue to be that way so we don't need him... i totally feel you on what you said and i have been saying the same thing no one NEEDS a partner we just WANT them... though i will say it is tough not having the little moments where the father to be is all sweet kissing ur stomach and talking to the baby .. .but when i think about him doing it i get violent... anyway i agree just wanted to say that...

I Just Want To Say That I Can Relate To Your Comment That You Left Recently. . I Was Once That Same Child Too && My Father Was Never Around Until I Was 16. . Thats When He Decided To Claim Me && I Hated Him For Everything That Happened In My Life, && He Also Talked Trash About My Mother But My Mother Also Done The Same But Its GREAT To Know That My Child Will Not Grow Up The Way I Did. .His Daddy Will Be Around Every Minute Of His Life && Will Give Him All The Love That HE Deserves. . So I Just Want To Say Thank You For Posting That Comment. . .
krystalanne - Thursday, 4 Oct
Great posting!! Oh, congrats on having a Girl!! Keep your fingers crossed for me, I already have 2 boys. I can't wait for a girl. Maybe she's in there now, we'll find out in 5 weeks!!
CuttJ - Thursday, 4 Oct
I also appreciate the comment you wrote about single mothers..lots of love for us all!!
bre bre - Thursday, 4 Oct
I appreciate that comment u wrote about the single mothers.
courtney - Thursday, 4 Oct
I saw your message and agree... I am going to be a single mother, I am elated that God saw me fit to be a mother,I don't need a man in my life, although that would be the ideal situation, I am a strong 25 year old woman and I can do it on my own, i have an amazing support system with no shortage of babysitters! :) What doesnt kill us only makes us stronger. Stop by my site to hear my full story and see my little one :) Congrats to you on your little girl, definately count your blessings for even i have it better than some of the women that are pregnant right now... And I agree with kristin that posted the last message it is tough, especially going through this so young, but there are plenty of state funded programs that can help with the cost of everything. Do not feel ashamed in accepting help in that way, you will work until your 65 paying more than your share in taxes. Ok blessings to you! :) Courtney
kristink21 - Thursday, 4 Oct
I like what you are saying about the fathers and everything but i had my daughter when i was 16 it was really horrible and he left and i was all alone. I know sometimes when girls do give up why they give up on it. It's easy to say your baby will love you 10 times as much but what about how are you going to afford diapers and to keep your baby clothed? what about work and daycare? whos going to help at night. Whos going to be there when you fall apart? that baby cant help when the weight is on your shoulders. I'm not trying to be mean i'm just saying sticking there isnt as easy as you make it sound sometimes.
