Jeremiah Scott is here!! 7lbs 9oz 20 inches..Born on his big brother Calebs 4th birthday!!!! June 18th

I'm a single mom to my little boy who was born June 2004.

I'm pregnant for baby #2 due June 2008..I was trying to get pregnant for this baby and my hunny and I are very excited about the whole thing:)

I work part time and enjoy spending all the time I can with my son.

I plan to have a hospital birth and I have a good relationship with my doctor(s)-They are a husband and wife ob/gyn team and not only did they deliver my son 4 years ago,but they also delivered me 22 years ago!!

I AM going to breastfeed because I know that's what is best for my baby and I did so with my son too...It's a very bonding experience and I can't wait.

I don't plan on any pain meds during my labor and delivery.I want my birthing experience to be as natural as possible for a hospital one.

I just can't wait to meet my little oneThursday, 10 Jan

Well,I `m almost 19 weeks!I `ve been feeling pretty good other than being sore still from work and having the occasional cramping,but that goes away within a short amount of time.I can `t wait! 4 more days until I get to have my U/S and find out if my gut is right..lolI think I `m having a boy,I `d kinda like a girl.Hunny thinks I `m having a girl,so it `ll be fun to see who `s right:)I `m sleeping better-other than having to get up and pee every few hours..lolI have had a little `returning ` morning sickness now and then but nothing like what I had earlier in my pregnancy.My hair is growing and is soft and silky:)My nails are growing faster too,but they aren `t as strong/tough as they were a month or so ago..hormones??My skin is SOO dry!Probably somewhat from it being cold outside.I `ve gained 10 lbs so far and am right on track as far as measurements...Baby `s heartbeat was 142BPM and sounded very strong:)

Well,last week we had the ultrasound and I `m having another boy!! I `m excited and the baby looked so adorable,although he WAS a stubborn little guy-he did NOT want to show his stuff..He was nice and comfy all curled up in a ball..lolOther than that,we `ve boughten most of the major baby stuff we need (crib,playpen,car seat,bouncy seat,changing table,crib bedding set and bath tub) I am working on buying cute baby clothes here and there when I get a chance...Caleb doesn `t totally understand that there `s a baby in my tummy,but he will soon!!I `ve been VERY emotional lately and cry over everything..especially if someone says something that I would normally just get mad about-no,I start bawling!!I have days where I want to eat constantly,and then there are days when I don `t want to eat at all.I had my Triple-screen/quad test done and everything looked fine.I `m sleeping a little more comfortably now,but I still get up a lot to pee at night..I hope I don `t end up gaining 40+ pounds this time-I did with my first son,so we `ll see..lolI `m trying to eat high fiber,lean protein and lots of fruits etc...My problem is veggies,I usually love them,as I `m a vegetarian,but they don `t appeal to me anymore....

Well,I had my 22 week check up on the 12th,and I `m measuring about a week ahead still..hmm??Babys heartrate was 159bpm and he was/is very active!Then,today (the 14th) I had some light pink spotting and my doctor said to be on bed rest for at least 24 hours after my last sign of spotting...Yeah right! I tried,really I did,but with a 3 year old at home,I can `t just lay around all day very easy!I `m getting very nervous and excited about the babys arrival,as time seems to be going really fast lately.I `ve been getting a ton of heartburn and having a lot of braxton hicks contractions already..fun,fun:) lolI get to go for the dreaded sugar test in a couple of weeks,so I `ll hope for the best:) Mommy Graphics

Well,I `ve gained a total of about 16lbs now at 24 weeks..I hope I don `t gain too much!!!I would really like to keep it under 40lbs,but I guess I `ll take what I get,huh?I `ve been really tired lately and I feel like I could sleep all day..I `m really tired of the cold weather and I just want spring to get here.We have boughten all the major baby stuff and so all I get to shop for now is a few more clothes...I haven `t been working lately,so I have been really bored..I `m just glad I have a lovely/busy son to keep me busy right now...Some days it seems like this pregnancy is flying by and other days it seems like it is going really slow.I just want to have a healthy little baby:)

Ok,so I had my sugar test and my 26 week check up..My sugar is perfect..My blood pressure is wonderful,the baby `s heartrate is right on and I `m measuring fine.I `m a little bummed about my weight gain so far-23lbs at 26 weeks!!Thats more than I `d gained at this point with Caleb!!But I am more active and I eat quite a bit healthier than I did with him,so I don `t really understand why I have gained this much..maybe it `s because I was on a diet before I got pregnant or because I weigh less now than I did when I was pregnant for Caleb...hmmmBut Doc said we `re both healthy and that 23lbs isn `t too bad at all..so I guess I `ll just have to keep up what I `m doing and look forward to busting my butt this summer to lose the baby weight:)

I was having some cramping last week and went into the doctor so they could check it out..They did a fFN-Fetal Fibronectin test to see if I would go into labor soon..I passed,so I guess the cramps are just from baby growing!I `ve been having a lot of swelling in my hands and feet and I `m still having tons of braxton hicks contractions....I `ve been so tired,I `m just happy that 4 days a week Caleb goes to pre-k so I can lay down for a couple of hours and rest.This pregnancy is so much different than my first-much more uncomfortable. I haven't updated in awhile,so I guess I should add something eh??

I'm now almost 34 weeks!! I love feeling Jeremiah's little (although sometimes they don't feel so little) kicks and punches and watching my tummy move as he squirms around-I think he's running out of room in there!! I can't wait to meet him:) Caleb is also very excited and keeps asking when his 'baby broder' is gonna come out!

I had a rough time a couple of weeks ago after my last doctors appointment because my doctor was being rude about my weight gain-even though I've really tried to eat healthy,I still keep gaining..Oh well..He's not the one who has to lose the weight efter baby anyways,right??

I lost my weight pretty quick after Caleb,so I'm sure I will this time too!!

I'm still working here and there,but I make sure to sit down since my feet have been swelling and my hips/back and pelvis are REALLY sore!!

After taking care of Caleb for two days when he was sick I had my turn with the flu-ugh!!

I'm better now and I know that baby's doing good since he's still kickin!

I `m soo hungry..I `m back to work now and that makes me feel better as far as I `m not just sitting around anymore (and the money `s pretty cool too..lol) But I am really sore from standing,twisting,turning,lifting.I am being really careful though and am not lifting anything too high or too heavy.I get really hungry from working though!!All I wanna do is come home and eat and then go to sleep,but I can `t sleep because Caleb is home..Oh well,at least I `m doing something productive now!!

I loved your birth story! I am going with a birth center this time, totally natural, so I always get excited to read about other moms who have done it that way! Congrats on your beautiful son, we are expecting our second boy too. :)

i just read your post on the "labor tea" and just wanted to ask you a few things about it. i have wanted to try something but im scared that its going to just make me sick with no effects on putting me into labor. im due in 5 days and am wondering if it will really work. where did u find this, and did someone tell you about it?? im just a little curious i might try and see if it gets me anywhere... let me know thanks!!!

Wow.. I'm so glad that Cayden decided he was going to come when he did. Since I was 5 days overdue with my first I was really not wanting to repeat that! I can't believe that tomorrow he'll be a week old. Crazy.

cali.momma - Monday, 16 June
