We found out we were pregnant in June. I took a pregnancy test 2 times and it was very positive both times. Everyone was very happy to find out we were pregnant. Everything went well in the first Trimester except for a little scare. I had some bleeding but an ultrasound showed the baby is all fine and the bleeding was outside my cervix. Doc says because there is soo much blood being pumped down there for the baby, I have more viens and caps there and one of them ruptured which caused the bleeding. The second trimester was the best. I wasnt too big and uncomfortable but I was big enough that people knew i was pregnant. Plus it was the first time I actually felt my baby. That was the best. The 3rd trimester was the most the worst for me. I could handle the morning sickness in the 1st trimester but in the 3rd, I got diagnosed with gestational diabetes and I was also on bed rest for a week because of a preterm labor scare. They found my cervix to be open at 33 weeks and doctor wanted the baby to stay in until 34 weeks at least. Hence why I was on bed rest. Being on bed rest made my sugars go all crazy. I was able to control my sugars with diet and exercise. But without the exercise, my sugars went up a little. Lucky, the diabetes doctor didnt think it went up enough to put me on insulin and I was measuring just right, not to big or too small. On New Year's Eve the doctor called and said I could party it all I want (I was 34 weeks that day) and I am officially off of bed rest. Doctor says walk all I want to control my sugars. They wont stop me from going into labor if i do go in early. But Emily held on until 38 weeks. I thought I was going to be over due but she decided to come into the world without medical help.

With all that, at the end it was all worth it. I gave birth naturally on Jan 26, 2008 to a beautiful baby Girl Emily. It all went fast too. All together 5 hours from my water breaking to Emily coming out. The hardest part was pushing. I pushed for 2 1/2 hours. =(
