Hello All....My name is Mandy and I am married with a 7 yr old boy and another one on the way. We were shocked by the pregnancy, but we are excited! I work full time at a local insurance agency here in town and love what I do. I have wonderful family and loyal group of friends. Hope to get to know some of you better!!

IT'S A BOY!!!! Clinton Emmett is his name!!

02/25/2008

So feeling okay, just really tired right now. My first appt is 03/10/08. Have been having the usual pains with pregnancy, you know the lovely dull pains. Everything is moving around in there!! Hubby is still in shock, but he is coming around. I am feeling like this is a girl, hope I'm right. I would love a girl. But a boy would be fine too, as long as he/she is healty, that's all I really care about. Hoping this baby has my Hubby's beautiful green eyes!! So more later, for now, got to get back to work!

03/03/2008

So I felt kinda yucky yesterday morning then again last night right after I ate dinner. Feel okay today. Just tired, as usual. Still have some cramps now and then, but nothing bad. I have been feeling good and pregnant the last few days or so!! BB's are still sore, not as bad though!! I go for my appt a week from today, 03/10!! Excited about it. I will be almost 9 weeks when I go, so I am hoping they do an ultrasound!! Well, back to work, but more next week!!

03/11/2008

So I went to my first OB visit yesterday and she said everything looks great. Our little bean has a good, strong heartbeat, but I'm only measuring about 7 weeks instead of 8 and a few days. She said she would do another ultrasound when I come back in 4 weeks to be sure, because that might change. But so far due date is 10/26/08. Did all the yucky blood work, Lovely!! But all in all it went great. I will keep you all posted!!

03/20/2008

So tomorrow is Good Friday. It's almost Easter. It is going to be a little chilly here on Easter, that is kind of a bummer. I am ready for Spring to get here. I love this time of year. So feeling ok lately. My bb's are still sore and my nipples, please don't even touch them!! So I worried a little bit the other day when I had some weird kinda like discharge (I know grose right!!), but no pain or anything like that, so I'm thinking it's okay. If I do it again, I will call my Dr. and see what she says. I felt like crap last night. I ate too much too fast and then felt like I was going to hurl the rest of the night!! I was so hungry for dinner that I just kinda inhaled my food!! My little belly is starting to pooch out there a little bit. My MIL said something to me about it the other day, in a nice way. I get along great with her and the rest of my husband's family!! I will be 9 weeks in a few days, so I guess I will be showing a little quicker with this one, but it is my second, so I guess that is to be expected!! I am just ready to be in some clothes that fit. None of my dress pants fit me right now. I will be glad when it is warmer so I can wear more if my flowy sundreses with just my sandals to work!! My wonderful SIL saved a bunch of my maternity clothes I had loaned to her and her sister. So yeah, I have some stuff. Granted they are 7 years old, but hey, they will work!! I will have to by a few more pieces to wear to work, but not as much as I thought!! My son is getting very excited about this baby. He talks about it all the time, but of course he always says baby brother!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's a girl. Ok, I have ramble enough for now. TTYL!! Have a Happy Easter!!

My two oldest are in 6th and 3rd grade this year and they come home to my husband sleeping (since he works nights) but he is still in the house which is good, but they only come home sometimes. They go to the Boys and Girls Club after school and for summer camp which is soooo nice. I used to think it was only for low income families and stuff, from what you see on tv it kind of gives it that outlook but it's not. It is a really great place for kids and it's free!!!!!

Mallory, my 3 yr old will stay in daycare part time. They have a drop in service so she will go when I have to work. The baby will stay home with my husband or go to my MIL's. Once Mallory starts school, maybe I'll want to work full time again and the new baby will go to daycare out here, but that is still 2 years away.


mrskcich - 6.7 hours ago
I work at Stennis Space Center (a NASA site) and I had to fenagle my way into being part time. My 3 yr old goes to daycare out here and I pay $567 a mo for just her. Between gas prices and two daycare bills I would be paying $1400/mo. No sense in all that. So...we actually make out better if I work part time. I'm sooooooo excited!


mrskcich - 8 hours ago
I agree. I have a friend that just gave birth on July 8. Another one that is due the day before me, another one due in Feb and then I know lots of others that are preggo but I don't really talk to them as much as these. It's amazing.


mrskcich - 8.2 hours ago
I like this site too....I feel like I have so many friends that are going through what I am going through. I was even telling the u/s tech about the one person on here (have no idea who it was) that was talking about their babies heart beat being 74 and her doc was ok with it. She was shocked and said sometimes they stop beating for a bit and then start back up...when they do this it takes a bit for the heart rate to go back into the 100's. I share all kinds of stories I read about on here with my hubby and friends. It's great!!!


mrskcich - 9.6 hours ago
there is another one

http://www.i-am-pregnant.com/vip-blog/Carol76/1213480800

she had her baby at like 25 1/2 weeks....just felt her baby kick not long before her water began leaking. She hasn't updated her blog lately and I'm hoping everying is ok.....


mrskcich - 10.1 hours ago
she's actually doing good. If you go to my friends list their is a pic of a baby with a tube in it's nose. You can read all about her in her blogs.

I'm so tired this morning...I actually think I slept too well and too much last night. I'm only used to getting like 4-5 hours of sleep due to being uncomfortable and insomnia at like 2 a.m. Last night I slept from 8:45 till 5 this morning. Now I'm soooo groggy!


mrskcich - 26.7 hours ago
My girl hasn't gotten the hiccups yet...that or she gets them as she is doing her floor routine in there and I don't feel the hiccups because of all of the movement.

My other babies didn't really get them either that I remember.

I was reading a blog post from msmillsap08 (she gave birth at 28 weeks) and her baby is 1 month old (or just about 33 weeks gestation)...she weighs 3 lbs 9 oz! BUT, when she was born at 28 weeks she weighed 3.3...so now I feel better!


mrskcich - 27.6 hours ago
Oh honey....epidurals are the only way I got through it! I've already registered for mine for this one! LOL

I think if I had a 6 or 7 lb kid, it would fall out and I'd be like, "Oh looky there, you're here...I didn't feel you!" hahahahahaha


MrsKiwi - 27.7 hours ago
 You look about the same size I do I think... and I think we look just right! :)


mrskcich - 27.9 hours ago
I know...I am tall however. I am 5' 9"...I'm sure all my weight could find elsewhere to take up home! LOL And my kid is an amazon....doesn't make me love her any less...all my kids were amazons. hahahaha


mrskcich - 28.9 hours ago
 I think you look fantastic!! Not too big but definitely pregnant. Was that nice enough? LOL Sad thing is...I don't feel like I look as big as you, but when I look at my pics and compare me to other preggo women, my husband always says I'm bigger. :o( Ok, ok, so I am carrying the amazon child compared to the other women in our gestation....I'll just chalk it up to that! hahaha


roro73 - 31.7 hours ago
LOL! looks to me like my little one will have my feet.


roro73 - 31.9 hours ago
 Your belly looks great. :o)


roro73 - 31.9 hours ago
 I have a pic posted of my little boy's foot. :o) This is too cute.


rubberduck36 - Thursday, 24 July
my friend who just had her baby thought it was a big baby and it ended up being a 7 lb baby, and when they broke her water early most of that came out in fliud, so remember some of that can be fulid...


millercl22 - Thursday, 24 July
I didn't use to sleep well at night because of the heat- even though my a/c is set to a lower temp. My husband dragged our big fan out of storage and now I've been sleeping TONS better at night.


mrskcich - Wednesday, 23 July
Right! Healthy is all that matters. That is why I really don't want to have to have her early. My husband just wants her to be "planned" and me not go into labor...which is what I want! I want to see the terror on his face when my water breaks or I start contracting! LOL


mrskcich - Wednesday, 23 July
she was grimmacing throughout a lot of the pics. It was very nice. I am just shocked at how big she is!!!!
