My name is Chrissy and im 20 years old. This is my second pregnancy. I was pregnant last year and carried up to my 32 week. I delivered my son, Kaiden Michael, as a still born on Feb 11,2007. We decided to try again shortly after.I took my basal body temp every morning for about 2 or 3 months until it took a serious toll on my emotional and physical life. I thought about it so much that our sex life was starting to suffer. Finally, we had a talk and decided bbt wasn't for us. We were just going to continue our lives and when it happened it happened. A few months later I had a feeling I was pregnant again, but wasn't sure. Jeff dragged me to the rite aid down the street and made me buy a test! I took one 3 days later and it was negative. I was upset but Jeff wouldn't accept negative. "He just knew I was"whatever....My last period was Oct 6 and it was now November 16. So I decided that if I didn't get it by Sunday I would take another one. Well Sat I had some kind of bug. I was running a fever and then would be naked because I would be sweating. So on Sunday of course I didn't get it so I took another test on Nov 18 and
I got a
The next day we went to see my family doc and he confirmed it. We found out we were positively pregnant on Nov 19. We are taking this pregnancy one day at a time. With Kaiden I found out when I was already 12 weeks pregnant. Since I found out right away with this one it is harder to wait for all of the excitement to come, but I am very grateful and super excited!

PREGNANCY PRAYER

Powerful is your intercession with God, Mary, for you are his mother. Tender , too, is your love for us, for you are our mother. Confidently , then, I come to you as a child, poor and needy, to seek your aid and protection. In every trial of motherhood, I beg your aid. For the grace of a happy delivery, I come to you. For your holy assistance in guarding and directing each tiny soul with which God entrusts me, I call to you. In every sorrow that comes to me in my motherhood, I confide in you.

That I may have strength to bear cheerfully all the pains and hardships of motherhood, I lean on you. That the sweetness of motherhood may not through my neglect be embittered in later years by pains of regret, I trust in you.
That the will of God may always be fulfilled in me through each act of my motherhood, little and great, I beg your aid. Never forsake me dear Mother, my hope, my consolation, my confidence, and my trust, but ever be at my side to aid and protect me, your needy child. Amen.
Mother of Love, of Sorrow, and of Mercy, Pray for us

6 weeks and 2 days pregnant!

I went to the hospital last night.I think I needed to just to ease my mind.They gave me an ultrasound and told us we were actually 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant...I was taken back because my last period was October 6th. I guess since my periods just started to regulate I ovulated late, which was why bbt, I think didn't work for us when we were ttc. Well this time was all natural and we didn't think about it or put to much into it...

Our baby looked like a little peanut...so precious...heartbeat was 121 and everything is going good...I have a cyst on my right ovarie.I'm so grateful to have another baby! I'm glad god blessed us once agan and I hope and pray everything goes right this time...

7 weeks and 6 days pregnant!

I started to bleed yesterday at work and went right to the e.r. I was so scared something was happening. The doc checked me and sent me up for an ultrasound. The baby is good. Heartbeat was 164. The spine is starting to grow. I'm so relieved and grateful everything is ok. My first prenatal appt is this wed. I'm excited.Jeff can't come but thats ok.The first appt they normally don't do much anyways. They are also sending me to a high risk specialist in Feb. I have a good feeling this time, which always helps move the process along easier.

December 22, 2007

8 weeks 6 days pregnant!

I went to the doctor on Wed.Everything is going good.They too blood work and 2 samples of urine.I am now going to see the doc every 2 weeks.I'm glad they are going to see me that much. Next appt is Jan 2nd.I go for an ultrasound. I found out I have to deliver in Wilkes Barre.(about 30 mins the hosp is from where I live)but my mom lives in W/B so i'm close to home at least. I'm so excited.I'm still thinking it's a girl!

11 weeks 3 days pregnant!

On the 22nd I went to the e.r because I started to bleed and cramp. So we went to the e.r and they gave me an ultrasound and everything is still good.Baby is fine.They said that most women bleed their 1st trimester, but I feel good because everything was fine with the baby,

I went to the doctor on Wed the 2nd .Everything is still going good! I just have really low iron they said, but I knew that! Hb was 154 so it's still high.I'm feeling great! No morning sickness so thats great! I'm feeling great.Just tired a lot!

Jan 18, 2008

12 weeks and 5 days pregnant!

On Thurs I was at work as usual and I started to cramp and then around noon I started to bleed so I went to the e.r. They took some blood and gave me another ultrasound.(hb 167) The baby is fine but there was something else in my placenta. They didn't know what it was, but they said it looked like a blood clot and they didn't know if it was going to pass or not.The doc put me on bed rest for the next ten days. They sent me home and said if anything changes call the office. So I came home and was in terrible pain all through out the night. In the morning I got up, went to the bathroom and went to lay on the couch when I felt the clot come out. So I called them (9:25) and they said get down here for 10am. Well I couldn't think of anyone to get me there faster other than myself. So I got in the car (as i'm having contractions) and raced down there(while driving a standard). I pulled to the front and was in tears and the escort guy brought me a wheel chair and got me to my docs office. When I got there within 3 minutes the doc came in and did a pelvic exam and said it stopped bleeding. So that was good news. He hooked me up on the ultrasound and the baby is jumping around and is extremly active in there, The blood clot last night was 7cm. Now it's 3cm. So the clot I passed was 4cm. He has me scheduled with the high pregnancy doc on tues and I see them again on wed. He sent me home and told me again if anything changes call. So Jeff drove my car home(his is still at the hosp). I was ok and then the contractions started again. Quite painful and for 1 1/2 they lasted. I was in the Bathtub with the shower on and they finally stopped.So I layed down and took a nap. When I woke up the 2nd clot passed. I feel better now. Still bleeding but thats normal. So on tues I go in and make sure everything is still ok.

Jan 26, 2008

14 weeks pregnant!

I went to see the high risk doctor and they did yet another ultrasound and the baby is doing great! (Quite stubborn like his father!) They just wanted to see how the baby was growing and they measured everything and the baby is growing quite fast! The doc said she MAY have seen something inbetween the legs but she didn't want to confirm anything becasue it could have been the umbillical cord bunched up.(of course Jeff was ecstatic, but I still think it's a girl) So I went on thurs to the doctors for my usual doc appt and everything was fine then to. Just went to hear the hb. Didn't hear it for very long because everytime we would catch it the baby would move again!

So I went back to work on wed and i've been sick everymorning so far. Normally if I don't eat i'll get sick, but I think I had a bug because on Friday around noon time everything came up and didn't stop coming up or out. So I caled the doc because I was scared the baby would get dehydrated. So he told me to go to the hosp and get some fluids. So at 2am we took the trip down. They set me up but my veins were so weak that when the guy put the first needle in I was in tears. I knew something was wrong because I never cry over a needle and this one hurt like hell. So I made him take it out and put it in my hand, which felt better, but then where the i.v was I started to blled everywhere.So he had to take all the sticky's off and do it again. This time was better, but then I started to bleed again. Finally we started to get the fluids in and I felt better, So we had to do a swap becasue Jeff was going to work so my mom had to come in because Jeff wouldn't leave me alone at the hosp. So while he was at work I left the hosp and slept at my moms until he was done with work and then he brought me home. We brought my brother to, they play the playstation together and P.J loves to come down.So I had a nice weekend so far. I just hope to be better for mon morning when I go back to work!!

15 Weeks and 1 day pregnant!

On friday morning I started to have a brownish discharge and I started to freak out! So I called work and in the ice storm I, by the grace of god, got to the e.r 35 minutes away safely. They got a doppler and heard the heart beat (146) and the doc then came in. I talked to him and explained everything to him. He wanted to get a look at the baby and make sure everything was ok there. So I went for my ultrasound and she told me they baby is great, jumping around in there still! and that she sees something inbetween the legs and confirmed it was a boy! Since I was only 14 weeks and 6 days (still really early) it can still turn out to be a girl! The high risk doc told me she saw something inbetween the legs, but it could have been the cord, so who knows! On my 20 week ultrasound we will know for sure!!I just want a healthy baby!!!

31 weeks pregnant!

I haven't updated in a while so I figured I should. Everything is going well. Jayden weighed in on monday at 4lbs 6 oz. I go for non stress tests and an utrasound every week to make sure the fluid around him is ok and hes breathing correctly. He hates when they put the monitor on him. He kicks it off and moves all around. Last week his hb was up to 194! It went back down to normal after a few minutes but he really works himself up over it. Almost everyday or everyother day he has the hickups. Its funny to watch him on the outside. We got the crib, dresser and rocker ready. My shower is on the 7th. Im excited. I stopped working on friday so now my summer will be out in the pool relaxing before he gets here...Iv'e been going to breast feeding classes and reading a lot about that. I'm going to breastfeed one way or anyother. If anyone has any advice or anything to share about breastfeeding i'd really appreciate it.
