March 13, 2008~~~~We got accepted with wic since I'm pregnant again...thank goodness, I can't afford to live! haha. The doctor accepted me, but they can't get me into the doctor until the 28th. That's a pretty long time away...especially for not knowing exactly how far along I am. Oh well, I'm thankfull that I found a doctor! And they're supposed to be pretty good! Morning sickness has taken over my life...I can't do anything without getting all nauseous. Everything sucks! : ) I got my finger pricked at the wic office the other day to test my iron and they said I was anemic...which is no suprise, since I have been since I became pregnant last time. Nothing else new besides that...so I'll chat at you later!
March 28, 2008~~~~I went to the doctor today, and I thought I would get an ultrasound. I was wrong! They did my history or whatever, that took like an hour. And she said that I come back in 2 weeks (April 14) and they'll feel my uterus and if it feels off from how far I estimated I am (which I know couldn't possibly be right) then they'll give me an ultrasound. But after that she said she was going to call the lab lady for me. I thought it was to schedule an appt to get my blood drawn...but little did I know they were going to draw my blood right there in the office. I had military docs last pregnancy and they sent me to the hospital on base to get bloodwork done...I didn't even know people could do labwork in their office...but I soon found out they could!!! :( I was sad...that's my BIGGEST fear! Needles....*shutter*. I didn't even get an epidural when I had my daughter because I'm terrified of needles. Just thought I would share that. Anyways, I go back on the 14th, so keep your fingers crossed that I get an u/s!!
April 15, 2008~~~~Went to the doctor yesterday. I didn't get an u/s...dang it!! The doctor was running late so I sat in the waiting room for an hour with my impatient 8 month old daughter. I finally got called back, and I got put in this room and had to sit there for 15 minutes waiting for a room to open. I got in and they had to give me a pap since I got an abnormal one with my last pregnancy. It was terriable!! I didn't miss those at all! My doctor is a fruit loop...he's such a corky little old guy. Nice though, and is really good...so I guess I can't really complain. I also see his wife and another guy I haven't met yet. After the wonderful pap, they let me hear the heartbeat. It wasn't really all that great because I was dissapointed about not getting an ultrasound. Oh well! I go back in on May 19th to get my first u/s and to find out the sex! :) Can't wait for that! Me and my cousin are taking our babies to Philly this Sunday. We're driving...15 HOURS!!! With a 8 month old and a 6 month old....wish us luck! haha.
April 29, 2008~~~~Not much is new. I am on vacation in Philly with Adalyn, my cousin, and her 7 month old. I had a couple of wic appts. and stuff, but nothing big. My blood pressure was low at one, and at my home appt. my bp was 85/57 or something terriable like that. I'm not sure exactly how bad that is, but I hear it's not good. I'm having constant migranes and want to shoot myself in the head with them...but I think I'll resist the temptations! :) My wisdom tooth is killing me, my uterus (the baby) is hurting me really bad...a really tight scrunching feeling. I don't know really how to explain it, but it sucks because it's alsways so uncomfortable. But on April 17th I felt the baby kick for the first time, and it has been pretty constant since! He (or they!) are pretty active. I can't wait to get my ultrasound to see if it's a boy...or twins! I have a feeling it is, but I could be wrong...so we'll see! :)
June 20, 2008~~~~Ok...a lot has happened since I've last wrote and this might be long, but I feel like people need to be caught up. I got back from vacation and not even a week later my boyfriend told me that he didn't know if we should be together. A grouling week went by leaving me in suspence of what would happen with my life, and he finally said that we were done for. I was being kicked out of our house...my home that I had worked so hard and put so much effort and heart into. I had to force myself to pack up my belongings (which was practically everything), and pack up my daugthers room that took me 4 months to create. I couldn't pack myself because it was so depressing, so I had to wait for people to have time to help so that I could make the best out of it (soon to find out there was no "best"). He has been an ass through all of this, he has gotten violent (with the walls and chairs :), but NEVER with me), he changed the locks to the house before my stuff was out and wouldn't let me in to get any unless he was there to pretty much supervise, and he has made it so hard for me to try to move on...which I can't see myself doing. He's telling me that he thinks that things can work out, but we just need a break from eachother, and that we both need time to get better...but then he's telling everybody else how he's so done with me and I'm every bad name under this sun! He says that what he told me is the truth and that he hopes things can work out so we can be a family again, but for some reason...I feel like he's feeding me bullshit (excuse my language). As of last week, I am officially moved out and trying to show him the last couple days that I can be strong without him. I don't think it's working that well :( How can he do this to me with a 10 month old and being 4 1/2 months pregnant?! What kind of person can do that to somebody. And as of tonight, he's accusing me of stealing stuff from him whenever I left. Like I don't have better things to do with myself than steal old magazines and power cords!!! He has ruined me on guys, and I don't think I'm going to recover from this any time soon. This is so hard ladies...I never thought this would be happening to me. I thought I had a set family, and I thought that we were going to get married. He has totally crushed me physically, mentally, and emotionally. He has me on depression meds, and I need to get on anxiety meds...don't EVER fully let your guard down ladies. I finally did and look what happened to me. You could get lucky, but why take the chance? When it comes down to it, you have you and your babies...and that's all that seems to matter in the end!
But besides that....I went into the doctor on May19th and got my ultrasound. They said that I wasn't as far as the guessed date, and they knocked me back 10 days. I am now due on October 28th. She put it on my tummy and I immediately saw fingers. I almost melted inside! Turns out that my mothers intuition hadn't kicked in yet...there was only one baby. But hey...thank god now because I couldn't take care of a baby and newborn twins by myself!!! :) She moved it around for a while measuring everything and couldn't get the baby's legs uncrossed to find out the sex for the longest time. We tried everything, and after about 10 minutes we found out.......
IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!
It's another one! Mother's intuition REALLY didn't kick in!!! Haha
July 21, 2008~~~~Thought it was time for an update. Everything is going ok with the baby. She is growing as scheduled and her heartbeat is normal. Nothing really new to write about her. Adalyn is making this a little hard for me to get used to. It hasn't even hit me that I am pregnant, but then again that makes it easier and go a little faster. So I guess yay for that! :) As for the whole breaking up thing with me and my whatever you call him...things are starting to come around. We are working things out and it looks like we'll be getting back together before the new baby gets here. A lot has changed with us for the better, and I think that we got the whole time away from eachother that we needed. Besides all that, there's not much else. My daughter is turning one on the first of Aug. I'm so sad...she's grown up so fast. I miss my little helpless baby, instead of this fearless running, climbing, yelling, talking tot! I'm really going to have my hands full when new baby gets here...it's going to be interesting! haha. And as for "new baby", I think that it's time for a name! We haven't had much time to look, but I'm thinking about Jazlyn or Kaelyn Dawnia. But then again, I still have like a million more names to go through in this book. My poor kid needs a name! haha.
Well, picture is wronge, just found out this is 10 weeks pregnant. Still kind of chunky from last baby .
13 weeks..No fat and all baby!!! Don't look much bigger but I am!
21 weeks...after a lot of drama and losing all my weight and bump, she's starting to come back!
23 weeks...getting bigger!
25 weeks...just found out I've gained 11 lbs in the last month!!!
Here is a couple of her Christmas pictures...I'll try to get more on here soon!
Here are some pics of my baby girl. They are up to 2 months old. There are 42 of them, but I couldn't stop putting more in the slide because they were all just so cute! I can't stop taking pictures!!!!!
On the night of July 29th, my boyfriend and I had sex to try to induce labor. It hadn't worked before, so I heard that if you lay upside down for 15 minutes afterwards it works better. Immediately afterwards I started contracting. They started 7 minutes apart and ended up being 2-3 minutes apart. They weren't that painful, but being so close together, I didn't know if I should go in or not. We decided to go, and when I got into the hospital and into my room, they checked me and said that I was still 1cm, baby wasn't engaged, but said that my contractions were very regular. So this was real labor, but just the very beginning. They gave me 2 hours to walk the halls and come back to check for progression. I was still the same, so they sent me home. We got home around 3 and went to bed. We woke up early the next morning, Alex called off work, and then we went to paint the house that we are remodeling. The contractions seemed to be the same length apart, but didn't have any pain to them any more. I started to get very discouraged. We went home and decided to skip the sex, we went to bed around 11:30. I woke up at 2 in the morning with pretty bad contractions. They were 8-9 minutes apart, but got closer and closer together. I stayed awake timing them, and felt that I couldn't take them any more, so I finally dragged Alex out of bed, and we went in around 6 AM. They checked me and I was only 2 1/2cm and the baby still wan't engaged. I walked around for about 2 hours, and they checked me only to tell me there was no progression. Before sending me home (AGAIN!!), my nurse gave me an Ambien to get some sleep being as I had only gotten about 9 hours of sleep in the last couple days with all the contractions and hospital runs. She said that if it takes my contractions away, labor is false. But if I wake up with the contractions, I'm in active. We got home around 11. We went to work on some stuff in the house, and left there to dump some cabinets at the dump. Right when we got in the car, I was out. The Ambien seemed to not take my contractions away, but just space them out a little more. I woke up with them every 15 minutes, and sadly only got about 45 minutes of sleep. I continued to time the contractions and watch them slowly get closer again. That night, we went out for pizza and a couple movies. Contractions were to the point that it was hard to stand through them. We got home, ate, and layed down to watch the movie. Close to the end of the movie, I was in terriable pain and ran outside to call my grandma to see what to do. She had me call labor and delivery. I didn't want to go in and look like a hypocondriac being as I was just in there that morning, so I called first this time and they told me to come in. I dragged Alex out and we got to the hospital around midnight. It is now August 1st, and I realize that I haven't really slept in two days, almost 3!!! They checked me and said that I was 4cm. but baby still wasn't engaged. They gave me 2 hours again, but this time I didn't have the strength to walk the halls. I sat in bed crying for a while, I was so wore out and didn't have control of my contractions. I decided to get into the shower and let the hot water hit under my belly where I was feeling the contractions the most. It was wonderful, I couldn't even feel the contractions. I had to get out and get checked again. By that time I was so engorged with pain, that I couldn't really remember that much. I was pretty much druged without the drugs! They said that they weren't going to send me home, and then moved on to drawing my blood and giving me my hep-lock. The lady that put in my heplock messed up the first time and had to redo it. I am terrified of needles so I was crying histarically at this point. They gave me a shot of Statol to help me sleep so that I could have better control of my contractions afterwards and so that I wouldn't be too wore out by the time I had to push. I fell asleep and rested quite well. I still woke up with the contractions, but I couldn't really remember it. When I woke up, I was a little loopy from the statol, but was feeling 100% more in control of my labor. I woke up to my doula Ashley, Alex, and my grandma sitting with me. Ashley was such a help to me, we went on to try positions to help move on labor, her and Alex even massaged my feet! It was nice!! I got into the shower again and sat there for a good 45 minutes. I returned to bed again to get monitored, and all of my family came in to see me. I really didn't want to see any of them, I just wanted peace and quiet so that I could concentrate. Contractions were getting stronger and stronger, but I just had to breath through them. My doula decided to help me into the shower again because that seemed to be the best way to relieve myself. About 3 minutes into the shower, I screamed "OWW" and she ran in, put my gown back on, and rushed me to bed. I couldn't even sit down on the bench in the shower because she was pressing down so hard. Ashley called in the nurse to check me and the nurse gave us the good news that I was 7cm. Why that was such good news I don't know, but they said that my water bag was bulging and could break anytime. They said that we could wait, or they could break it for me. I hadn't wanted to get my water broke, I wanted it to go as natural as possible. I had a brief discussion about it with the nurse. I figured that it would feel the same and have the same effect if they broke my water as if it would go naturally. It would bring the contractions on just the same, but it would just make the process a little faster. I decided to give in, and they sent the doctors in to break my water. Since I had military doctors, they often have students performing in front of the doctors. I agreed that they could attend and help a little with the birth, but the doctor had him try to break my water. When the student stuck in the hook thingy to break it, he didn't know what he was doing I guess, so he sat there poking around for 3 minutes. Three minutes doesn't sound that long, but when there's a hook up you by a doctor that doesn't know what he is doing...it was an eternity! It hurt so bad, to the point where I was screaming, so the other doctor took over and got it withing 15 seconds. I was so relieved to have that over with, but little did I know, the hard part was starting. I tried to handle the contractions being on top of eachother for about 15 minutes, but couldn't take it anymore. They offered me a half a dose of statol to take the ease off of it, and I eagerly stuck out my arm for them to put it into my hep-lock. It didn't take the pain away, and I didn't want it to, but it made me relax so much more. The contractions went on for another 45 minutes on top of eachother, and was terriably painful. I breathed my way through, but felt like I was getting nowhere. Then I started to feel my body push. For about 15 minutes I screamed at the nurses and doctors (and probably anybody else in sight) that I had to push. The nurse told me I couldn't because I was only 9 cm. She tried to stick her finger around my cervix and have me push to try to get the babys head to slip around the cervix. It didn't work so I layed there for a little bit longer. It got worse and worse and there was a pattern of it being ok, then hurting more, and then it would get to the point that I had to push again. I screamed for the nurse and said that there was nothing that I could do, and I wanted to push now. She came back and said I was still 9 and had me try pushing again. This time it worked, and it was now time to push, I was finally a 10!!! The doctors came in, they had everything ready and started having me push. I pushed three times and then waited for the next contraction, which seemed to be right after I got done pushing. But it was such a relief to push that I didn't care. I would hear everybody say "oh my god, oh my god, here comes her head!" But then I would get done with my third push and it would suck back up. The doctor got out this round thing to help me push, it was like a tug-a-war kind of thing, but it worked really good. I got really close and I had him put it away, and I wanted to grab my feet and just go for it. Instead of doing reps of 3 I did 4. I grabbed my feet and pulled them to my chest and pushed with all that I had. I felt it burn really bad, and then they said, "one more push, one more push" and I felt her head come out. I had to stop so that the baby could catch up with me and they could suction out her nose and mouth, and then had me push a couple more times and her shoulders slipped out, and then her whole body seemed to just fly out after them. At 2:58 PM Adalyn Briana was born. 8lb. 1oz. and 21 inches long after 2 1/2 days of labor, and 15 hours of hard active labor. When they pulled her out the doctors noticed that she had a very tight knot in her cord. I was so thankful that it didn't cause any problems! They layed her on my chest and I was so much in love, they had to take her because she "sounded wet", I guess that meant she needed some hard core suctioning. But my grandma said that they took her because they were worried about me because I was loosing too much blood. I didn't tear, which made me really happy. They had a hard time getting the placenta out, but when they were trying to manipulate it out, somehow I tore a little. I was so upset that I needed to get stitches, but in a way I was just glad that it was over with. They started pushing on my stomach to try to get my uterus to shrink back up, but it wouldn't go. They pushed and kneaded my stomach like dough for a good 15 minutes and it hurt so bad. I just kept loosing blood. They finally finished pushing on me, and went to stitch me up. They didn't numb the whole thing, so I felt a few of the stitches, which hurt. Afterwards, I held the baby for the first time. I realized that I had strained my face so hard that I was seeing triple of everything. I couldn't get my eyes to focus with one image. So when I was holding Adalyn, it looked like I was holding triplets. This made me very upset because I couldn't get to enjoy it. But all three of her looked beautiful! :) Alex took the baby, and I immediately fell asleep. I slept for about 20 minutes, and woke up to my nurse. I told her that I was seeing triple of everything and she told me that I wasn't allowed to hold the baby...1. because my eyes were all messed up, and 2. because they didn't want me to hold her if I had statol in me still (which I didn't) because I could drop her. I got something to eat (thank god, I was starving!!!) and then I took a shower. It was so hard to get up, I couldn't even move! But I managed to get in there with the help of Ashley and my nurse. When I looked in the mirror I realized that I strained so hard pushing that it made my face swell terriably, and it broke the blood vessels in my face. But I felt so much better after eating and getting cleaned up. I moved immediately to my postpartum room. Everybody was there waiting for me, and they brought my baby in and I got to hold her for the first real time. I couldn't believe that something so big and something so beautiful could be made inside of my body...I couldn't beleive that she came out of me! She had a hard time latching onto the boob, but after the first day, it was her favorite hobby! :) She loves to eat!!! The next day they drew my blood for the cord blood donation and the doctor came in and said that I was anemic before I had the baby, and now that I had lost so much blood, I was very anemic so I had to get put on a daily iron tablet. My recovery was slow and painful, but so worth it! Around three weeks after the birth I was finally able to stand up for longer than 5 minutes at a time. And I was able to get out and go places. As much as I hated the last month of my pregnancy, I miss it so much. I miss being pregnant!!! I never thought I would say that! Pregnancy has brought me the best thing that has ever happened to me, it has brought me my daughter, and I couldn't ever EVER wish for anything better! My birth was perfect...a few little bumps, but exactly how I wanted it to be. A no epidural, natural, hands on, involved birth...and with a good ending!
My Pregnancy Journal====>
~18 Weeks~ Well, I'm pregnant with my first!!! I am very excited and don't really think that the time is going fast enough. I swear I am getting bigger and bigger by the day! I have been able to feel "her" moving for about 2 weeks now, and I could say that it's possibly the best that I've ever felt in my life! "She" is very......VERY active! Always doing belly bombs, kickboxing, and tumbling routines.....or that's what it feels like atleast! : ) I don't know what the sex is yet, so if you were wondering about the quotations around her and she...I just like to say that it's a she, until proven that it's a he! I really want a girl, mostly because I've already helped raise my 4 brothers. I get to find out in the beginning of March, how exciting!
15 weeks and 1 day!!
~23 Weeks~ I haven't updated this in a while...sorry! I went in for my ultrasound on March 7th, and found out that we are having a baby GIRL!!! How exciting! She kept her legs pretty close together the whole time, but a couple minutes before the ultrasound was over, the doctor said that she saw "three white lines". I'm not exactly sure what the three white lines are, but she said that it indicated the girly "parts"? She said that she was 80% positive for girl...and I think that that was because she wouldn't open her legs up enough to prove there wasn't little boy stuff there! Hey...80 is a good enough number for me! But besides that, everything is going great. We've bought her bedding for her room, and are hoping to get a new house soon to put her nursery together...HOW EXCITING!!! She is constantly moving...sometimes I feel like I am pregnant with a octapus! But then I look at the ultrasounds and she has 2 arms and 2 legs...I guess they just move really fast! haha...anyways, I don't have the ultrasound pictures on my computer yet...but I'll get them up soon. I have the cutest one of her giving us a peace sign...it was so freaking cute!!!~20 Week Scan Pics~
~26 Weeks~ Went to the doctor for my 24 week appointment (2 weeks late). Last night I fell out of our house trailer and sprained my ankle pretty good! Today they did a x-ray and gave me some crutches (like I'm not clumsy enough!). The other day I had a big gush of fluid come out, so they had to check my amniotic levels. Turns out that it wasn't my fluid. Good! I'm not dialating and my cervix is still thick and in good condition. Hmmm...wonder what that gush was? To measure the amniotic fluids they did another ultrasound. After checking that, she decided that she would play around and we would try to see the sex again. She still had her legs closed! How uncooperative!!! She's just like her daddy!!! I know that she's a girl, the three white lines are no mistake (atleast I'm pretty sure), but getting a good view would really reasure me! I'm wanting to get a 3-D ultrasound done, but the military docs won't give me one unless there is something they need to check out with the baby...Man...I'm so ready to be done with being pregnant. I love every minute of my child kicking and moving, but I'm so uncomfortable! 3 months left...let's hope it flies by!!!
Me and Alex on Easter...my bump looks kind of small!
~28 Weeks~ Went in for my glucose tolerance test or whatever it's called (which turned out great thank god, since I was kind of worried). They gave me a drink that tasted like flat 7~up, and then an hour later, drew my blood. Needles are like my biggest phobia in the whole wide world, so the lady that had to stick me wasn't too happy with the way that I squirmed around...*OOPS!!* Went and finished my registering for the baby shower with my little cousin (who is having a little girl too in september), and then we went out to eat. I thought that mentioning us going out to eat was a good point considering how much I can put down now. For example...we went to Applebees. We got Onion Petals, and scarfed them down in like 2 minutes (of course we did, we're two pregnant ladies!) Then I got a full side salad (gone), then we got our meals...I got a sirloin steak, vegetables, and a junkload of loaded garlic mashed potatoes (all gone!). That's a lot for me! Well then I had a doctors appt. Also important to tell you that with eating like that, I have gained 8 lbs. in the last 2 weeks...oh man! So that's a total of 29 lbs. I've gained so far in this pregnancy...YiKeS!!! I still have 2 1/2 or so months to go! They told me I can now schedule my 3d4d ultrasound, so I'm calling in a couple days...I'm so excited! Get to see what my baby girl is going to look like...Can't wait!!! I'll put up the pics when I get them~
This is me at almost 29 weeks on Mothers Day...Bump is nice, Cheesy smile is not! Haha... ;)
~*29 Weeks*~ Went in for my 3d4d ultrasound on May 9th...I think that it was the best way to blow $150! I was so satisfied! The guy that ran the place was so nice, he helped me get the best pics that we could, and he even let me stay in there longer than I paid for! I got to see her blinking, and yawning. Once she yawned and then stuck her little tongue out! She was so cute...I was so speachless, I think I still am!!! The only problem was that she had her arm across her face the whole time, and she had her other hand grabbing her ankle pulling her foot up to her head...so we couldn't get a pic of her whole face! the guy that owned it gave me an appointment for wednesday, and I get to go back in and get another one for free! How exciting~! I'll add those pics whenever I get them also!!!
~*30 Weeks*~ Went in for my 2nd 3d4d ultrasound hoping that she would be more cooperative this time, and she definately wasn't. Definately stubborn just like her daddy!!! She had her arm in the same place over her face again, and now both of her legs up there too! She is breech (YUCK!), and totally folded in half. She's got both legs up over her face with her feet over her head, and holding them up there with her other hand. How comfortable does that sound?! haha. Let's just hope that she's not too cramped in that position that she can still turn around to where she needs to go! Better not stay breech, I'll cry! We did get some cute pictures though. It was worth it. We get 50% off if we want to go in again before she's born, so I think that my dad is going to buy another one for me whenever she flips so that we can get some good pics without her arms and legs up in her face! Wish us good luck! :)
This is what the front of my baby shower invites look like. I loved how I could get some of her 3d4d pics on there so that all of the family will have some! Can't wait to see her!!!
~*34 Weeks (Father's Day)*~ Well, long time since I've kindof updated this page...i'm on here all the time, and i never get on here and write something...sorry! :) Well, turns out the baby's still breech, and I'm doing everything on this side of the earth to change that. Military docs said they wont let me get a ECV or whatever it is...but I really don't want to get a c-section. I want to have an all natural birth...no drugs, all natural. I don't even think that they would let me deliver her breech either, which I'd rather do than get a c-section! I hate my doctors...they're all as stupid as a box of rocks! I swear!!! They're not going to give me another ultrasound to see what position she's in until I go into the hospital in labor...and then he said they'd slap one on me and basically just say, "SUPRISE...your baby's breech and you're getting sliced open today!" For some reason that doesn't sound right to me! I wish I would have just said screw the military insurance, and just went and got a medical card...then atleast i could pic a doc I like and was comfortable with...these docs just don't help me, and don't really care to. It's just an in and out routine for them I guess~ AHHHHH!! I could go on forever! But on a good note, however, I got her room all painted and her furniture up! Me and my boyfriend just bought a house, and the people that lived there before had cocroaches (sp?)...yucky...they won't go away! So we aren't moving in, or bringing anything over there, until they're gone. I have to treat it again in a week. But another good thing is that once that is done, we have to totally remodel half of it. I KNOW that it's not going to be in live in condition by the time that Adalyn gets here...and right now we're living in our camper trailor till it gets fixed. Can you imagine having a baby in that? I'm going to go crazy! Baby shower is on the 24th (this sunday!)...I'm sooooo excited to get all of her stuff! I just want this whole pregnancy thing to be over with. I'm so uncomfortable, and just want to hold my baby girl!!! I hope the next 6 (hopefully a little less) fly by....PLEASE GOD!!! : )
~35 Weeks, June 24th~ Today was my baby shower, and it went ok. I was a little upset about the fact that not many people showed up. Only 2 of my friends showed (one in which I haven't seen in a couple years), and a couple people in my family...which is sad because I have the biggest family that you'd ever see! The fact that I can do everything for everybody and they can't even take two hours out of their day to come see me and "baby". But it's ok...we had fun, played a couple games, and ate some good food! And not to mention that we got almost everything that she needs to come out and come home! : ) I can't wait! So, I guess it's not all that bad...I'm grateful for everything that I get!
~A couple pics from my Baby Shower~
~June 26th~ Went last night to get my maternity photos done at glamour shots. Hair and makeup were good, but the girl that took my pics didn't know what the hell she was doing. The pics turned out terriable, and when the girl that did my hair and makeup saw them, she was very upset because they sucked! She insisted that we come back in this morning and reshoot with the manager taking my photos instead. I agreed and went back in at 10. When I took the first couple shots, she made me feel so good, and it showed in my pictures that I felt comfortable with her (being as I was naked, even though I was covered). The pictures ended up turning out fabulous! I can't say enough about them! We ordered a bunch of them (and they were EXPENSIVE!!!). But they come in in two weeks, so yay! I'll make sure to get them up immediately for all of you to see when they come in...I can't wait!!!
~My Photos are in! Some of them are kind of fuzzy, I swear this computer is from 1900!~
~39 Weeks (and waiting!!!)~ Alot is going on, but not much with the baby! I've been dialated to a 1 since 37 weeks now, and I'm still long. Um...ok? haha. At 37 weeks I went to the doctor and my uterus was measuring 40 weeks already (must have been the way she was laying). The doctor sent me to get an ultrasound to see how big she really was, and to acess the position of the baby. Adalyn's head is really far down, and she's all ready to go! They measured her at 38+2 (one week ahead), but a whopping 7 lb. 6 oz. Not that big I guess, but considering they gain a half a pound a week or so, she is going to be huge by the time I have her!!! I've completely lost my mucus plug now, which I thought was a good thing, but then I was told that that doesn't mean anything...AUGH!!! Dang it! I'm still excited about it though, just for the thought that it means I'm one step closer to holding my baby girl! The doctors couldn't strip my membranes the last couple doctor appts. because I wasn't "open" enough, AUGH!! But I'm going for it this week! I have my 40 week appt. on Thursday, and I'm hoping that they will strip my membranes and I am going to set an induction date for a couple days later just in case it doesn't work. YOU WILL NOT SEE ME IN THE 41 AND 42 WEEK PAGES!!! I hope not atleast! haha. I want to go all natural, no drugs, but I'm not going to be able to manage it if she is that big. Not for my first baby atleast! If I get induced I'm getting just enough to start labor going, and then getting it taken away so I can go by myself. Or that's the way I plan it. My doctor said that was ok...so we'll see! :)
~July 24~ My grandma came into town for my labor and all that good stuff for two weeks. I came over here this morning and she is cooking me some bacon and eggs. Nobody can cook bacon and eggs like her! And I don't ever get them anywhere else, so when she cooks them I get especially excited! :) I'm the biggest bacon eater you'll EVER EVER EVER meet! Anyways...After that, my cousing is going to come over and we are going to go to the mall to find an outfit for her baby shower (she is 31 weeks and also having a little girl). I am also going to get a couple more things for my hospital bag. Like a nightgown to wear while walking around the hospital so that people don't see my stretchmark cellulite infested butt hanging out the back of the hospital gown! :) haha. And maybe going to get a pair of comfy pjs for after baby is born because I kind of don't have any! I'm so excited! And after we are done at the mall....my grandma is treating us with a prenatal massage (oh dear god...YES!!!) and a spa pedicure! OH MAN!!! My grandma is the bestest woman you'll ever meet!!! :) I can't wait to get that massage! after almost 40 weeks of being pregnant and hurting, I'm finally going to get some relief! Maybe it'll even put me into labor!? The relaxation I'm sure would help, and maybe she'll hit those accupressure points that I've read about on here! That would be nice. I'm so excited I could probably have a freaking cow!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) haha. But on another hand, I am so SICK AND TIRED of these freaking contractions! If I am going to have them, atleast be real!!! These fake ones are starting to really bug me...I've been having them for weeks and weeks now, but nothing promising, YET! Today they are starting to hurt a bit, so maybe I'll get lucky? What do you think!?
~July 26th ( My first Due date)~ Went to the doctor today for my 40 week appt. He was being his normal jerk-self, but since my grandma was with me he tried to be a nice jerk. She didn't like him either way, so it wasn't much of a difference. He wouldn't talk about an induction date. He said that we would talk about it at next weeks appt. Ummm....I don't think I'm going to go that far! WHATEVER....AUGH!!!! And then I asked if he was going to strip my membranes (like he said he wouldn't do till I was 40 weeks for some reason) and he told me deffinately not. I was thinking what the f*ck!?!?! He said that was a form of induction and that he wanted her to have the chance to come out on her own. Uh doc...she's had the chance for quite some time now!!! Anyway, I started bawling histarically and wouldn't look or talk to him while he was checking the baby's heartrate and measuring my uterus. He gave me a sheet to cover up with so he could check my cervix and left. When he came back, he said are you ready to look for a new doctor? (I thought, hmm...is this a trick question? haha) I just kind of looked at him funny, and he said ok, we're going to strip them for you. He thinks he's going to get fired for stripping my membranes at 40 weeks or something?! I have no clue, but atleast he did it! When he checked my cervix he said that it was still only 1cm, and for some reason he didn't even say anything about effacement this time. I know I'm effaced a little already...oh well. And he said that the baby isn't engaged yet, which really sucked because I've been doing all that walking just for that reason! When he went to strip me, he said that my cervix was tilted just a little so it was difficult for him to reach it. But he said he got it and stripped me. I expected it to hurt, but it didn't hurt at all. So I'm wondering if he did it right or if he just lied and said he did it when he didn't. Even though he was pushing very hard (but for some reason didn't hurt), and when he was done, there was blood on the glove (sorry if tmi!). And I'm bleeding now, so I guess we'll see if it worked!? Afterwards we went shopping and I got decorations for Adalyn's room and then we went and got my breastpump. I brought it home and really wanted to try it out to see what exactly I was in for, and also to learn how to use it before it comes time. I put it together and was terrified at the thought of hooking this loud scary machine to my poor sore boobies! I finally sucked it up and put them on there. It wasn't bad at all! PHWEW! It felt kind of like rough foreplay...haha, my description is wonderful, I know! :) Anyway, I guess that's all. No contractions since I've been stripped yet, just bleeding still. So, i'm keeping my swollen fingers crossed that it works! Wish me luck!!!

Hey girl, sorry it took so long to get back to you! Life is a bit nutty, Im sure you understand! Pregnancy is going well, I am 11 weeks now and it is flying!! There was some drama with me getting insurance, but now that that is over, life is going good! I am stressed about Chase's party this Sat, I will be happy when it is over. How is Ady?

I'm trying to catch up on all my messages. Sorry I havn't been on much nor for very long we had a really bad wind storm and my parents still don't have power. Ours has been working its been an off and on thing. It might be a little while when I can sit down and catch up but I will do my best. Please keep my mom in your prayers her name is Mary and she's on oxygen and is running low and she needs power and soon. Alot of homes had alot of damage from the 90 mph winds we had MANY trees have been up rooted.

Thanks It's the most AWESOME website- it's called uprintinvitations.com (I'm pretty sure that's it- google it if there is an error- it should come up) But they have tons and tons of templates for birthday cards, christmas cards, bubble wrappers, banners, play dough wrappers, all kinds of stuff and you just upload your pictures and change the copy and then pay $10.00 and you get a jpeg file of your invite or whatever. Then you can either print them yourself or send them to Walmart and have them printed there- either way it's ALOT cheaper than buying custom invites. One warning I would do 5x7 if I had it to do over again the 4x6 look really small when they are printed out.
I'm so glad he's come around- I'm still mad at him though--that's just more stress than you need. I'm so glad your preganancy is going well. Mine has been fine up until the last few weeks- I think the heat is getting to me, but I'm probably just being a baby. Keep me updated!!

Hey there. I just caught up with your news on your page. I'm so sorry to hear about you and your boyfriend. How are you coping? Where will you live?
I can't believe we now have proper little girls - no more baby. I don't dare weigh myself because I think I'll just get depressed. My name is all sorted - a leftover from last time but I haven't really thought about anything else yet - there's no time!!! Is your belly as big as last time?
shosho - Monday, 14 July
Hi! How are you feeling? Are you as big as me? Geeze it's bad the second go round huh. It's hard to carry around 2 babies all the time... I hope you are making it ok on your own. I totally envy and respect you for making this work on your own. What kind of person leaves the mother of his children when she is pregnant and his child is so young. He should be ashamed of himself. Does he at least try to be in Adalyns life? What a complete ass- I'm so mad at him. I hope Kharma comes by and kicks him in the balls!!
Joy-S - Wednesday, 9 July
Hey there! Thanks for responding to my post. It's more my in-laws not "allowing" me to paint. But I'm going to talk to my Dr. & hopefully get the go-ahead! Thanks!!!
Belly - Wednesday, 9 July
Thanks for the comment! - Glad to know your friend's boyfriend loved her belly!!!! I'm pretty sure mine will too but I guess every once in a while we all need some reassurance! :)

Hey there. How funny we're both having girls! I am so excited. So far the pregnancy is good although I definitely feel more tired and have less time to pay attention to the baby kicking etc which is sad. Rosie is so big now and so cute. I can't believe they are nearly 1. I'm trying not to panic about how I'm going to manage.....do you have nightmares too? I think I've even forgotten how to breastfeed.
How are you feeling? Are you big this time? I think we were both quite big last time for our small frames so Im going to be interested to see how big I get this time. I haven't even had time to take photos this time. Have you got names picked yet?

awwwww sooo cute! Allison - Friday, 4 July
Hey there!!!! So, it's another girl, huh??? WOW!!! Sisters!!! I always wanted one, but only had a brother lol, but that was pretty cool too. I am so sorry to hear what is happening with you and your significant other. What a jerk! (to say the least) I can't imagine being pregnant and having an infant to care and going through all the crap you are enduring. What's his deal, anyway? Did he think having kids was going to be a fairy tale? I mean, it's wonderful, but it's difficult too and not always perfect but that's life! Don't let this spoil your outlook on men and life in general, as hard as that it is to do right now. You're too young to think like that. You've got your whole life ahead of you- take it from me- I just turned 33 and your 20's are a great time in your life. You're going to learn and grow so much in the next ten years you'll be amazed! I hope you've got family to help support you emotionally through all of this. What about his family? What do they say about his abhorent behavior??? Does he see your daughter a lot? Does he want to be in the new baby's life? Gosh, girl, I'm so sorry.... Your daughter and my son are almost exactly the same age. She's adorable! Love her, hug her and hold on tight! They grow up so fast, don't they??? Take care of yourself...xoxoxo

I just got some new pictures up of the girls and of our new driveway. I'm now getting ready to take down the chicken wall paper that's in our Kitchen. Hopefully we can paint it in a few weeks as soon as I get it down. Hope all is good and hope to talk to you soon!!!
delilahsfirstbaby - Thursday, 26 June
Hi I read your update and I just have to say that your boyfriend sounds like he is being an absolute jerk! Just remember to be strong for you and your daughter Adalyn (who is adorable) and your unborn daughter. Good luck and I hope things looks brighter.
dapie898 - Sunday, 22 June
