Hi! My name is Amanda! Im currently 9 weeks 5 days along. This is my first pregnancy and Im sooo excited. It was a complete accident that God gave to my husband and I. Though im extremely excited, im also really depressed.... I lost my job just yesterday and my hubby and I can not live off his income alone.... I used to be a veterinary technician, but my boss said that I "wasn't utilizing my down time and takin to many phone calls..." i honestly dont know what she meant bc i did 3 calls a day... break. break. and ... lunch break.. I have a feeling that they needed to let someone go bc we were always so slow during the holidays and the fact that I was pregnant would cause them problems.... i couldnt take xrays, lift heavy patients, be around fecal matter.. etc.... whih is like my whole job...so now im jobless... and very few are hiring during the holiday season.... but i will get through this.... my husband will help me.

So im 10 weeks today even though my vip page says 9 wks still.... Im feeling a lot better about losing my job.... maybe its what God wanted since it was so labor intensive. So im looking for a receptionist position now and i might have found one that pays A LOT better.... which is always good. Oh and I was awoken this morning to a numbing pain under my armpit that led to my left breast. It felt like i was having a panic attack... wtf? i was dead asleep happily.... it hasnt stopped but i gave up on sleeping. I guess i got to get used to it. I will hopefully have pictures up soon!

So im so happy rt now. My hubby brought home a dopplar as a surprise for me!!!! See he works at a hospital as a computer technician and he services a womens clinic which im going to bc thats all my insurance will pay for. But because they like him so much, Im getting the best treatment ever!!! And he asked about renting dopplars and they just handed him one and said have fun!!!! So he brought it home and we searched for like 10 min. We kept getting the placenta (i knew what it sounded like bc when i was like 6 wks, a doctor at my vet clinic who was also pregnant wanted to ultrasound me and we found the baby and we heard the placenta and baby!! could you believe it? i didnt think we had such a good ultrasound machine but it looks soooo much nicer than the one at my clinic) so back to the baby. Hubby found the heartbeat and it was between 160-166bpm!!! I really hope its a girl. Of course i will be happy with a boy but i think first go around i want a girl. But hubby wants a boy so we will see.... you know that wives tale of the needle on a string? well my hubby did it at work with a bunch of women who have had children and it told them what they have had.... it was riht for everyone. Well he did it on himself and it said girl first then boy.... as soon as i heard this, i went and did it and it said the same thing!!!! And my mom and bro seem to think it will be a girl.... i really hope so!!!!!

OMG!!! ITS BEEN 4 MONTHS SINCE IVE UPDATED THIS THING! Well..... theres a lot that has happened....

1) I got a new job Jan 1 working for an embroidery and screenprint shop. Its nice so far... but now the standing is getting to me.... I am the only one that operates the embroidery mmachines... and theres a lot of em! But theyre really nice and any time I need a day off or need to go to the docs, they never give me problems...

2) Hubby lost his job mid Jan... and he still hasnt found a job. It wasnt his fault for losing it... office politics. Long story... if you wanna know the details, ask... Ill give you a hint... it is composed of a bitch lady that doesnt know how to run clinics and a new vp that got into a quarrel.... so yeah, two women that sums it all up....

3) My ob was pissed when he heard about my hubby losing his job (my hubby did services for his clinic) so he has been giving me free service since bc we dont have insurance anymore...

4) My apt test came back with abnormal results for a possible downs syndrome.... 1:75 chance.... so my doc ordered a level 3 ultrasound.... ive never heard of a level 3!?

5) The ultrasound was soooo cool! They were really nice and they even did 3d's! I hope to have those pics online soon!

6) They think it might be a girl but the little one kept its legs closed lol!

7)Husband ha decided if he cant find another job, hes gonna start uphis business again.... i hope he gets another job. Rt now, we need steady income... its starting to make me nervous.

8) My ob did a normal ultrasound... and ITS A GIRL!!! :D

9) The glucose test wasnt bad... but the doc did a finger prick and used a glucose monitor since i have no insurance and can not send it to a lab.... i failed by 9 pts..... :( off to the 3 hr one....

10) My new insurance finally started on the 5th! So i can now get normal labwork. Sadly, im gonna have to leave my nice ob... I dont want to deliver at his hospital.... its in Arkansas and I dont want to give money to the hospital that got rid of my husband... so now its search time...

Well really thats about it.... Hopefully I will start updating this every day... I will try :)
