Well for starters I would like to say I have been blessed with 3 beautiful little girls. At 31 I thought I was done having babies. OBVIOUSLY NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a blood pregnancy test performed on Dec 11th and it was negative. So I proceeded on with my plans to get my tubes tied on December 13th. I had the surgery and that was that.

The 16th came and Mr. flo still had not shown up and other things were happening to my body that made me think maybe I was pregnant and the baby got to my uterus before my doctor got to my tubes. I ran to Walmart picked up a test and there it was before I could even put the test down, A SECOND LINE!!!! Took several others and each one came back POSITIVE.

I have had an ultrasound done and the baby is fine with a strong heart beat.

I GUESS WHAT IS MEANT TO BE....... WILL BE......

I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We hope it's a boy....

Well I had my 3rd ultrasound done today. This one by my new doctor. I think he just did it to make sure I was indeed pregnant. Seems when the doctors hear my story they don't really believe it. Anyways the baby looks great and the heart beat was lower this time at 142bpm. Last week it was 162bmp which always makes me think I am having another girl. I know it's just a myth. BUT WHO CAN BLAME ME.... My sister in law is a OBGYN and I am going to visit her and my brother on Feb 10th she told me she is taking me to her office and is going to do an ultrsound to see if we can find out the sex. I am pretty excited about that. I know I will only be 12weeks and 4 days then but I also know she can spend however long it takes to see the sex of the baby. It's a weird feeling knowing in a few weeks I could know what we are having. I also confirmed with my doctor today that sometime after the baby is born they will remove my uterus and tack my bladder back up. I am glad to know all of this will finally be taken care of.

Well I just got back home from visiting my family. It's A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes I know we can not believe it ourselves. How does something like this happen. We have prayed for a little boy so my husband's name could carry on. To get my tubes tied find out 3 days later I am pregnant and then to find out it's the boy. HOW AMAZING!!!!! I am still in AWH!!! I cannot believe this is happening to us. Our girls are so happy (except our 3 year old Faith) she wanted a girl. My husband is still in denial. I just feel like this is something that you read in a book. How can I be so lucky!!!!!! I will be looking and comparing boy and girl shots just to double check so if anyone of you have some of those shots posted on your page let me know as I would love to check them out. It will take awhile for this to really sink in thats for sure.... GO BLUE!!! CANNOT WAIT TO WASH SOME BLUE CLOTHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a perfect ending to our family!!!

2/20/07

Well I am back to thinking I am having a girl (which would be great too) It's just so hard to believe that after 3 girls that my body could actually carry a boy. I know it was so early finding out. I am just in denial it doesn't help having a husband who refuses to think we could have a boy. However, he put the portable playpen, highchair, stroller, carseat, walker and baby swing all up last night. Okay I have had 3 babies with this man and never has he been this way. I find it overly warming he would do this and at the same time odd...WHO THE HELL IS THIS MAN!! I have a doctors appt. next week and cannot wait as I will ask him to see if he can tell the sex. I just need some more pictures to help me believe. I thought I would post the names we will name this baby.

GIRL--- MEGAN LYNN BOY--CODY MICHAEL

2/28/07

IT"S A GIRL

Well today I am 15weeks and 1 day. I had my appt. this afternoon and I asked him if he would do an ultrasound.... We did and IT'S A GIRL......... He was pretty positive. I looked myself and did not see ANYTHING between the legs. He looked at every shot he could and still nothing there. So we will keep the tradition going NO BOYS ALLOWED EVER!!!! (besides my husband of course) I feel badly hoping I didn't get my husbands hopes up to high... I know mine were... But my baby is doing WONDERFUL and she is healthy and she is mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! her heart rate was 136bpm. Which was really weird for me because all of my girls heart beats were never under 150. I go back on the 28th of March.. She was so cute. I love her already!!!!!

3/7/07

Well I have had some rough couple of days. Had to be put under again. This is twice now since I have been pregnant. I really do not want to go into detail and believe me you don't want to know either. I am okay other then that. I am in a FUNK mood tonight. Still have not felt the baby move yet. I know I will in the next couple of weeks. I have my next appt on the 28th so that will be cool. OKay I am going to go. Don't have much to say...

3/20/07

have any of you tested positive for trisomy 18 and then later it came back fine. I am freaking out right now because the lab just called me and told me I tested positive for this and I am going to see a specialist on Monday WHICH IS FOREVER AWAY!!!! If anyone has a positive stories on this note PLEASE SHARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SCARED!!!!

3/20/07

Well I just wanted to thank you all SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE FOR ME!!!! I am a lot better now. My doctor has called me back and made me feel a lot better. Everyone seems to say the same thing there are A LOT OF FALSE POSITIVES. I am sure you all can understand me being scared. I will think positive until my ultrasound appt on Monday. My belly is really growing and I can feel my little one. If I had this the baby grows very slowly and at my last ultrasound my baby was measuring the right size and bigger in some areas. So that leaves me with no other choice then to think IT'S FALSE! Thank you so much for your stories, concerns and comments! It really has helped me!

3/26/07

WELL EVERY THING IS GREAT WITH THE BABY. SHE LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL AND YES IT IS STILL A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (: HE DID ALL THE MEASUREMENTS AND EVERY THING WAS RIGHT ON!!!! I AM SO HAPPY AND SO GLAD THAT I ONLY SPENT ONE DAY REALLY FREAKED OUT BY THIS. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO LEFT MESSAGES ON MY PAGE THEY REALLY MEANT A LOT TO ME AND MY FAMILY!!!!!!

4/25/07

Okay I had my doctors appt. today. I gained 12lbs. This is really hard for me because this always happens. YES I ALWAYS lose the weight but that is not the point... It messes with my head really bad. I feel so gross!!! Knowing I still have awhile yet is scary. My doc was so great about it. He does know I gain a lot of weight so that is why he is so cool about it. It just has been a long day. I have been in a crappy mood most of the day. I so hope tomorrow is better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5/29/07

Well today had my appt and all went well. Gained another 9lbs BLA BLA BLA..... lol He wanted to do an ultrasound today because I am measuring larger then what I am suppose to. I am 28 weeks today and the measurments are showing 30 wks and 2days. The baby is breach right now, which I imgaine in time the baby will move head down before she gets to big too. My doctor is expecting me to deliver a 9-10lb baby. Which I hope he is wrong and I deliver an 8 something pounder. We shall see. Only thing that really scares me is being on this steroid that I am on and the doctor said it's just going to make my baby fatter.... WELL WHAT AM I TO DO!!! I am getting excited about having her. It was awesome to see her today, as it had been awhile. I am still scared to death of labor and obviously do not have a choice about it....(: So time will be my best friend and allow me to get the things I need to get done... DONE....

6/19/07

Okay for those of you you have left me msgs in the past couple days. THANKS. I have tried typing you all back and for some reason it won't work!!!! I have written a couple of you a few times and when I go back my message I left is gone.. SO IT'S JUST MAKING ME MORE UPSET!!! My appt today kinda put me in a bad mood. I am not sure why but my doctor seemed to rush me out today. Not sure if it was because I had all the girls with me or he was just in a hurry himself. It seemed he really didn't have time to talk to me. I HATE APPOINTMENTS LIKE THIS. Anyways, I am still measuring big. But it was like my doctor had never said anything about inducing me. Like he couldn't remember anything we talked about 3 weeks ago. I still have protein in my urine. Managed to gain another 6lbs. and or course have all the pregnancy complaints we all have!! I think I was in his office a whole 5 minutes! So thats how my day has gone. I am still waiting to get out of the funk mood I am in. Maybe if I eat some ice cream (:

7/24/07

I had my doctors appt today... FUNNY THING HAPPENED. I shaved before I went and I must have cut myself down there somewhere...(It's not like I can see what I am doing) so my doctor had to check to make sure I wasn't bleeding from you know where... I wasn't .. I did cut myself. Needless to say we all had a good laugh.. I gained another 6lbs bringing my total to ONLY 75lbs... YES I SAID IT 75lbs... I will be alright... Nothing like working my ass off!!! Anyways, he doesn't want to check me until I am 38 week his words "I don't want to get things stirred up" Well thats okay doc. Next week is my 32nd birthday I plan on going to Red Lobster and having sex with my husband so I will stir things up myself... LOL..... ANYWAYS, so I still have been having a lot of braxton hicks and pressure. A few weeks ago her head was engaged this week he said her head is floating. SO we shall see. He said within a couple of contractions she could have her head right back where it belongs. I do still have 4 weeks until the due date.... I am still in big time denial and I think it's because I DO NOT LIKE LABOR,,,, So if this is my attitude because I don't like labor then fine because I am not going to wish every day to be the day.. SHE WILL COME WHEN SHE IS READY!!!!!!!!!!!! We shall see what day that is......

36weeks and 3days

MY OWN PERSONAL GUESS FOR DUE DATE:

SUNDAY AUGUST 12th

Weight-- 8lbs 12oz-----21 1/2 inches

7/31/07

Just got back from my appt. I gained 2 pounds and I couldn't fit on the scale so I had to turn around. It was pretty funny!! The doctor decided to check me because I have been having a lot of contractions and last night felt pretty sick. Well he checked me and I am dilated to 2cm and 80% thinned and effaced. I was happy about that. He guesses her to be 8lbs right now and told me he would like me to go into labor anytime now and he is just waiting on me. Well I am just waiting on her!!! I am cramping pretty good at the moment and bleeding from my exam. I am having contractions still and who knows what will happen with this being the 4th. My birthday is tomorrow.... Wouldn't that be something if I went into labor tonight and had her on my birthday... LIKE THAT WOULD REALLY HAPPEN... Anyways, gonna go lay down. Not feeling all that well!!!

8/8/07

Okay just got back from my doctors appt. Put me in a crappy mood and I think it's just because I am still pregnant..No I know it's because I am still pregnant. My blood pressure was up from what mine normally is. Usually its around 110/68 TODAY is was 130/72. I gained 4 more lovely pounds. I am now dilated to almost 3 and TODAY was 60 to 70 % thinned and effaced. I asked him how that could be since last week I was 80% thinned and effaced. He said I guess you are closing up.... GEE ya think. I just wanted to ask him if he was drinking enough water... to make sure his fingers were not swelling... RATHER THEN ME CLOSING UP!! Well he scheduled me for induction for next Wednesday the 15th. He would have done in Tuesday the 14th but that is my oldest daughters birthday and I will not purposely have this baby the same day. Let just hope I go into labor before then!!!!!

August 9th** 38weeks 2days

MEGAN'S BIRTH STORY

On Sunday 8/12 I woke up and was having contractions here and there. Went to the store and did a little shopping. (hoping it would help something) My contractions were not consistant. Did a little more shopping later that day again hoping to help. About six o'clock that evening I realized I was having a lot of contractions but was not sure if they were braxton hicks or what. About an hour later the contractions were still coming so I decided it was time to start timing them. They were about 9-10 minutes apart. I drank a couple bottles of water, went to lay down and tried to take a nap to make them stop (if it wasn't the real deal).. Well they got worse and closer together. Around 10 o'clock pm I was outside walking the street and they were getting worse where I couldn't walk and they were pretty close together. Came back in the house and we had a friend come pick up the two youngest and we headed to the hospital as my contractions were 2 minutes apart. Funny thing was my husband was passing everyone on the way to the hospital and he even passed an ambulance. We arrived at the hospital around 11:00pm. They checked me and I about died. The nurse told me I was dilated to a 1... HOW COULD THAT BE SINCE I WAS ALMOST A 3 SEVERAL DAYS AGO... She said she was old school and maybe thats what it was. By this time my contractions were a minute apart and pretty darn painfull. The nurse told me she didn't think it was real labor and that I would probably be sent home. My husband and I argued with her and she told us before they would do anything she was going to make me take 2 bags of water and we would see from there... OKAY LADY THIS IS MY FORTH.... I KNOW WHAT THE HELL I AM TALKING ABOUT!!!! I was not a happy camper. A couple hours later my doctor came in and broke my water, I got an epidural and I was on my way....Megan's head was still high up and they were not sure why. I was told I had the most water that my nurse had ever seen. It was pretty nuts with how much I had. My husband and oldest daughter were able to finally get some sleep. I could not!!! My nurse kept coming in the room because Megan's heart rate kept dropping. The next thing I knew my doctor was in the room telling me the same thing and I might need to get a c-section. They watched me very closely. Then just a little while later my contractions had almost come to a stop so they gave me pitocin. This lasted for hours. They finally got closer together again about 10 minutes apart. And then it stopped again. Michael and mother-in-law were starting to get on my nerves because they were like okay you can have the baby now..... The reason it was bothering me was because this labor was taking forever MY LONGEST OUT OF ALL OF MY LABORS.... And like I didn't want my baby out.... The epidural wore off on my left side and I was in pain once again. I was not a happy camper. The threat of c-section was thrown at me again by my doctor and by this point my husband and I got worried. Everything was do different this time and it was scary for the both of us. Finally her heart beat was stable. I got another boost of epidural and the next thing I knew it was time to start pushing. I started pushing and nothing was happening. She was not coming out. My oldest started crying because my face was all red and she could see how much I was struggling to get the baby out. I had to tell her mommy was fine and that this was what I needed to do to get Megan out. Once I talked to her she was fine and excited. Pushing seemed like forever and was VERY HARD TO DO (later found out it was just like 15 minutes) but after pushing out my last 2 kids It was forever. My doctor worked his ass off trying to help me. I got to feel her head which was covered in hair. Her shoulders got stuck, so the doc had to twist her like a cork screw.. She finally came into the world at 2:08pm. I looked down and could not believe how big she was. We all were in shock. The tears flowed I could not believe how blessed I was. 10 months ago I was done having babies and here I was crying because I was so in love with one more baby. She was here, she was mine and SHE WAS BIG!!!! ll LOL.. I did not tear but I do have a lot of road rash as my doctor called it. The doc said the only thing that saved me was she was my 4th. Had she been my 1st I would have needed a c-section. Her arms and shoulders were bruised because she barely fit threw down there. We were so shocked when my husband came back in and told us how much she weighed. We knew she was going to be a good size just didn't know she would be that big....She ended up with jaundice and with her being the size she was it took longer for it to get out of her system. She was born Monday and we couldn't come home until Saturday. She is feeding very, VERY well and is so beautiful. I am still in a lot of pain and still not walking right. I guess her weight has something to do with that. All the pain was worth it....We are a blessed family thats for sure!!!!!

Well lets see, I am now a single mother to 4 beautiful girls. Making it on my own. With help from friends and family. Never thought my life would turn out like this... I will find that someone special if it kills me!!My girls are doing AWESOME and are very happy. Once I get over the lonely feeling I will be just as awesome as them!! Taking care of the girls is my main concern right now. The night time is the worst. I pu them to bed and then I am alone... Cannot wait until this is all behind me and I am whole again!!!!!
