JANUARY 19TH, 2008- JUST GOT BACK FROM MY 3D SONOGRAM AND....ITS A BOY!

January 2nd, 2008

Hey! For those of you who already know me, you know that this isn't my first pregnancy. My first pregnancy ended in a stillbirth on August 11th, 2007 when I was 30 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who was 3 pounds and 16.5 inches long. I love her with all of my heart.

This is now the 2nd time around and I am 12 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Up until today, I haven't been excited about this pregnancy because I am in constant fear that something will go wrong. But, today I had a sonogram and I saw my baby bouncing and kicking around on the screen and my heart just melted! I fell in love.

I know that I am young but I am a straight A student and I have big plans for my life and nothing will stop me. NO, I do not think that it will be easy to raise and have a child but, I know God's plan for me and with faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains!

January 9th, 2008- I had a doctor's appointment today. But, he informed me that I will have to get a referral to high risk OB doctor being that I had premature rupture of the membranes in my previous pregnancy because, it may happen again. I got to hear my baby's heartbeat and it was 164 BPM. :)!

January 11th, 2008- I just got back from the doctor's office after 4 long hours! But, it's all worth it. I got to hear my baby's precious heartbeat and everything is going great. I have my next appointment in 2 weeks and on the 25th, i'll be finding out what i'm having! I'm so excited. I'll now be a patient at the High Risk Clinic starting at my next appointment. I got a HIV test today (the one where they swab your mouth)....NEGATIVE! :) Everyone please keep me in your prayers. I'm praying for a healthy baby boy or girl in July!

January 17th, 2008- I just finished looking at pictures of my daughter who passed away and I couldn't help but cry. She was perfect in every way possible. She had 2 eyes, 2 arms, 10 fingers and 10 toes. I would have never second guessed that she wouldn't be here with me today. I lost her 5 months ago but, the pain in my heart feels as if it happened just yesterday. She was my HEART and my SOUL and I loved her more than I could ever love myself or any human being walking God's green Earth. While I was pregnant with her, I would always imagine waking up in the middle of the night and how tired I would be and I would imagine putting bows in her hair and dressing her up. It just hurts that I never got to see her smile or even open her beautiful eyes. I refuse to ask God why he took my baby girl away anymore because, I have come to the conclusion that he does everything for a reason and only he knows why he does what he does. I just pray to him that he allows me to have a healthy baby in July. I know im my heart that I would be a good and loving mother and I hope he knows that as well.

Can some more people give me input on what they think about the name: Bri'Asia for a girl?

I like it but, I don't know if it sounds too "ghetto".

January 26th, 2008- I had my doctor's appointment on Thursday and a sonogram appointment on Friday. Everything went great. My lil man's heartbeat was 153 BPM. I love him to pieces! He was laying face down on his stomach during my sonogram yesterday and I thought it was too cute. I can't wait to meet him.

February 10th, 2008

February 25th, 2008

My boyfriend and I went to my ultrasound/anatomy scan on Friday and it was amazing. My baby boy was moving around so much and he even had the hiccups. He's still a boy (LOL) and he weighs 11 ounces.

I was just reading around on the sight and I came across a few pages of women who have a**holes as baby fathers and I think its ashame. It's HORRIBLE that a man can take 10 minutes to lay down with you and make a baby but they dont want to be bothered with your pregnant. I thank God for my boyfriend/babys daddy because he loves me unconditionally and he's always by my siede through thick and thin. He's very excited about the arrival of his son and I couldn't ask for a better person. He rubs my belly, kisses my belly, rubs my feet, helps me with my laundry, cooks dinner for me etc...:) I love him from the bottom of my heart and I can't wait for our son to get here so we can have a family.

My son's name will be: Jayden Amaury

March 11th, 2008

I just got home from the hospital about an hour ago. Yesterday I went in for an ultrasound and I requested that they check my cervical length because I was feeling a lot of pressure. Well, when the lady started the transvaginal ultrasound, she immediately called for another sonographer and they confirmed that my cervix was funneling. I immediately began crying because I was only 22 weeks and 5 days pregnant. So, I called my boyfriend and he came to the hospital. They transferred me to triage in labor and delivery and they concluded that I was 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. They doctor said that I only had about 0.5 cm of cervix left and they didnt seem to optimistic about my pregnancy continuing. They said that it was too late for a cerlcage because I would risk my water breaking and then my son definitely wouldn't survive. So, they sent me home and scheduled me for a sonogram next week to re-check my cervix and see if there were any changes.

Today, I went back to the hospital because I was feeling tightening in my lower abdomen. When I got there, I waited about 2 hours just to see a doctor. When the doctor finally did see me, he said that he would do a sonogram to check on the baby and a vaginal exam. Well, before he did the ultrasound and vaginal exam, I asked to go to the bathroom. When I got in the bathroom, I dropped down to my knees in tears and begged God not to take my baby boy from me. I literally pleaded with him in the hospital bathroom.Well, I returned to my room and the doctor did the ultrasound. He stated that the baby looked fine, my fluid was good and the baby had good movements. Next, he did the vaginal exam. He used a speculum to look at my cervix and he said that it looked closed and it was very long. But, when the doctor actually used her hand to feel my cervix, she said that it was at most 1 cm dilated and it wasn't that soft but, it was a little bit soft. She also said that it is very long. The ultrasound showed that it 3.4 cm which is above normal! This goes to show you that prayer works!!! Always keep your faith in GOD because he is almighty. Yesterday I was told that I only had about half a cm of cervix left and today they told me that the ultrasound showed 3.4 cm! The doctor also stated that once you've had a baby, your cervix never closes back the way it was originally and being that I just had a baby in August, that may be why it is somewhat open. I go back next week to have it checked again but until then I can finally put my mind at ease and I am looking forward to having a healthy baby boy in July!

Hey everyone. Thanks to the people who have been writing me to see how im doing. Im 24 weeks, 4 days pregnant today and praying to atleast make it to 28 weeks so that my son will have a 90% chance of survival. Im on complete bedrest. I can only get up to use the bathroom and I can `t stand up for more than 10 minutes. Being on bedrest is very,very,very hard and it is also very boring but, I know that I have to do what `s best for my son as his mommy. The next 3 weeks and 3 days will be hard for me but with constant prayer and an optimistic attitude, I know that ill make it through. Once my baby boy is here happy and healthy, I won `t remember the boredom or the times I just wanted to give up. Ill just be grateful that my son is healthy and here with me. So, everyone please keep me and my son in your prayers! Thank you.

25 Weeks Today! Yay! Thanks to the people that have been keeping my son and I in their prayers. Ill continue to keep you guys updated. Thanks.

April 9th, 2008

27 weeks today! Yay! My baby boy is still baking away in the oven. :)

April 16th, 2008

28 weeks today! Yay! The doctors didn't think I would make it but, I proved them wrong. I love my baby boy to pieces and I can't wait to meet him (when its the right time)!

April 23rd, 2008

I made it 29 weeks when the doctors didn't think I would make it past 24! I hope that my story gives hope to someone with a similar situation. The doctor's don't know everything and NEVER EVER give up hope. I love my son and I can't wait to meet him (when he's ready).

April 24th, 2008

I went to the hospital yesterday because after I used the restroom., I noticed two drops of light colored blood on the tissue. So, they kept me in the hospital overnight and let me come home a few hours ago. After only being home for 3 hours, the hospital called me and stated that they want me to come back in to the hospital and stay atleast over the weekend because i'm around the time when my water broke in my last pregnancy. I hate being in the hospital! But, I would regret it dearly if something happened to my son.

May 1st, 2008

30 weeks & 1 day pregnant! My baby boy is s till in the oven baking away. I had a doctor's appointment today and his heart rate was in the 140s whic the doctor said is great.. Starting next week, I will be seen 3 times a week. Twice a week for a biophysical profile and a non-stress test and 1 time to visit the doctor in the High Risk Clinic. At 29 weeks, he weighed 2 lbs, 9 oz and they said his growth is excellent. I'm still 2cm dilated which i've been since I was 24 weeks and my cervix is 0.4cm which means that it's holding up because it was 0.5cm at 24 weeks. Thank you so much to the people who write to me and check up on my baby boy and I. I really appreciate it and its great to know that people that I don't really know have my son's best interest at heart!

May 7th, 2008

31 WEEKS pregnant and going strong. On Monday I went for a biophysical profile and a non-stress test. The nurse had to hold the monitor down on my stomach for 20 minutes for the NST because my baby boy kept kicking it as hard as he could. Lol. They said that his heart rate tracing was beautiful. Then, I went for my ultrasound and my poor baby boy had the hiccups. It was too cute. But, he's doing well and my amniotic fluid level was great. I go back to the doctor tomorrow for another NST and BPP. I love my baby boy sooo much and I haven't even met him yet. I just can't wait to hold him and touch his little fingers and toes. I'll probably cry just looking at him because the doctor told me that he wouldn't make it. Here I am now 31 weeks pregnant with the love of my life (don't tell my boyfriend lol).

May 18th, 2008

JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I MADE IT TO 32 WEEKS! YAY! GOD IS GOOD!

MAY 19TH, 2008

I am 32 weeks and 5 days pregnant today! I had a sonogram today and my baby boy weighs 4 pounds and 14 ounces. The sonographer said that his head is EXTREMELY low and it is pressing against my vaginal exit. So, he's in place and ready to be born.

May 28th, 2008

34 Weeeks pregnant! Who would've guessed that I would've made it this far? I am very thankful that I have been blessed enough to carry my precious baby boy this long so that he can be healthy as possible. I've been praying to keep him in for so long & now I want him out! Lol. I'm in constant pain everyday and this baby's welcome is about worn out. Lol. I'm tired of being pregnant. I just want my son here! Hopefully, I will make it a few more weeks so that he can come home with me and won't have to spend any time in the NICU. I have everything ready for him, except for the fact that i'm taking ALL of my Avent bottles back to Babies R' Us and exchanging them for Born Free BPA free bottles. The Born Free bottles are a bit more expensive but, in my opinion, it's worth it. I've done some research and BPA is a dangerous chemical that damages developing brain tissue. Although we come int0 contact with BPA in everyday life, I still don't want to put it directly into my baby's mouth!

JUNE 4TH, 2008

35 weeks today! I am so happy that I have made it this far and I know that it is only by the grace of G-d. I guess the first and last weeks of pregnancy are the worst. My pelvic bone is killing me. It feels like it's strecthing. I guess it's because his head is really low. My last examination shoed that i'm 2-3 cm dilated, 50% effaced and his head is at -2 station. I feel like i've been pregnant for a life time. Now, I just want to meet my beautiful baby boy. I want to touch all of his fingers and little toes and stare into his eyes. I just want to hold him in my arms and know that he's mine for ever! I can't wait!

June 8th, 2008

HE'S HERE! I HAD MY SON ON JUNE 6TTH, 2008 AT 1:01 P.M. HE WAS BORN AT 35 WEEKS, 2 DAYS AND WAS 100% HEALTHY. HE DID NOT HAVE TO GO TO THE NICU AT ALL AND HE CAME HOME WITH ME TODAY! I WILL UPDATE WITH MORE PICTURES AND MY BIRTH STORY LATER!

June 22nd, 2008

Hey everyone! Just wanted to update and say that my baby boy is doing great! He is 16 days old today and I can't believe how fast the time is flying by. He is a very good baby. The only problem that i'm having is that he sleeps sooooo peacefully all day during the day but, he wakes up EVERY hour at night. If anyone has any advice, it'd be GREATLY appreciated.

July 23rd, 2008

Hey everyone! I just wanted to update and say that my baby is doing great. He is 6 weeks and 5 days old and he has grown so much since he was born. At his 1 month check up, he was 8 lbz, 4 oz. The day of his one month check up me & his daddy took him to take pictures and they came out beautiful! I will upload them when I get a chance. Last month, I wrote that Jayden was waking up every hour at night but, that has gotten so much better. He eats about 3- 4 bottles between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. He stays up for longer periods of time now and he is very alert. I love him soooooo much and i'm still amazed that this beautiful little baby came out of me. Sorry that I haven't been on much to keep up with everyone but he keeps me busy throughout the day and when he finally is sleeping, I have to use that time to make bottles, iron his laundry, eat, take a shower etc.... But, I will try to update my page more often and I will upload new pictures soon.
