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!!

roro73 - Friday, 12 September
Thanks. All is well. We will see him in a couple of weeks. (literally)LOL! we have to go for an ultrasound to measure him and see wat position he is in.


angel2008 - Thursday, 11 September
hey mums and mums to be, just wondering how many weeks you were when baby was in the head down, mines decided to flip, thanks xxxxxxxx


MommyToGirls - Thursday, 11 September
yup, he got a kick out of it too.

Well have a great evening, get some rest!


MommyToGirls - Thursday, 11 September
Thanks. I blamed my hubby for her big head, but when we went hat shopping a few weeks ago we discovered my head is bigger than his! lol!

I feel the same way, have all week. Only one more hour left of work for me today, thank goodness!


MommyToGirls - Thursday, 11 September
Yes, you're lucky to not have had a c-section. I was really hard on myself after having to get one after 26 hours of labour and pushing for over an hour. I felt like such a failure. I hope this time will be easier.

It's definitely nice to be able to walk around and take a shower right after. A few stitches are much easier than major surgery for sure. Hopefully you'll have an even easier time this time around!


MommyToGirls - Thursday, 11 September
Yes, recovery is MUCH easier with a vaginal delivery. I hope not to go through another c-section. I was up and walking around after my first two vag deliveries, but after my c-section I'd cry every time I had to get up to pee. I'm such a suck! lol! Doesn't help that my back lane is like a mine field either, I didn't want to drive anywhere!


MommyToGirls - Thursday, 11 September
Well then that's good news that he's dropped already! Usually with your second or thereafter you don't drop at all, so that's great for you! Sorry to hear you've had preterm labour, hopefully he doesn't come too early. Although a 7 or 8 lb baby is much better than a 10 lb baby! So that's good that you're being monitored well. Hope everything goes well!


MommyToGirls - Thursday, 11 September
that's great that you got another ultrasound. Glad to hear everything's going well for you. I had a big baby last time (almost 10 lbs) and she was 10 days late, so I'm not sure why your dr. would say you won't make it to your due date. Sooner (well not too much sooner)is always better than later though! I have my next app't on the 24th as well. I get to have a fetal assessment, so I'm excited to see what baby looks like. They're usually the 3D or 4D, so I can't wait! My dr. told me this time it's not as big of a baby so I'm happy about that - just because it lessons my chance of needing a c-section again! Sorry to blab, it's exciting that we have our appointments on the same date! Keep me posted!


mrskcich - Thursday, 11 September
wow 5.15! My girl was 5.12 at 31.5 weeks!!!!! I go Wednesday and then every week for probably 2 weeks or so because then my c-section will be set for not long after that. WOOHOO!!!! I'm looking at Oct 6 or 9. Whichever he chooses. I have to skirt the birthdays in the family that fall on the 1st, 3rd, 10th and 13th. Sooooo, I think the 2nd is just to early..well as of now I do. Granted the pain I am having is making it impossible for me to walk because lifting my leg just to put one foot in front of the other is excrutiatingly painful. We will see what the doc says.


jennlb30 - Wednesday, 10 September
So how is everything going? Well, I lost my baby back in April, but we're pregnant with another!! Hope everything goes well with that one...


mrskcich - Tuesday, 9 September
yeah, I haven't worn my rings in a good while either. I hate that. My wedding set is gorgeous-my hubby did such a good job picking it out...anyways, I can't stand not wearing a ring being pregnant. I feel like my baby is illigetimate...well I don't but I hate the looks of people that think that. Ya know?


MommyToGirls - Tuesday, 9 September
Wow, so you're really doing well then, that's great!


MommyToGirls - Tuesday, 9 September
oh OK, well that's good that they're keeping a close eye on things. Glad to hear everything's going well with his growth, that's great!


MommyToGirls - Tuesday, 9 September
that's so awesome that your co-workers threw you a surprise shower!!! and you're so lucky to get another ultrasound of your little one. In Canada we only get one at 20 weeks and then again if we go overdue. I'm lucky enough to get another one soon to see if I'm having another big baby. I can't wait to see what she looks like!


mrskcich - Tuesday, 9 September
hahaha...That is one thing I am thankful for not happening to me as of yet. My fingers are but not the feet. I mean, in the evenings after working then coming home and standing to make dinner, my feet are a bit swollen but they go down fairly quickly.

I am determined that I am not supposed to sleep right now. Last night I slept from 9:30ish - 12:30 then from 4-6. Oodles of sleep there! Not!


mrskcich - Monday, 8 September
OMG yes!

It will hit me next week when we go to the doc!


roro73 - Monday, 8 September
Have fun shopping. We sure did. :o)


mrskcich - Monday, 8 September
I'm obviously used to not getting sleep because even though I feel tired, it's not like my head is leaning on the keyboard. hahaha

Oh, I'm going earlier than my due date. I'm due Oct 17 and he said last appt that the section would be the beginning of October...which works for me!


mrskcich - Monday, 8 September
Well, today is definitley better than yesterday. The heavy pressure was back in my crotch but not to the point where it felt like the baby was falling out. This time it was more up front..like where your pubic hair is. Regardless, it nearly brought me to tears many times. It hurt to lift my legs to walk from room to room. Today my back is hurting a bit but I'm sure the walk around Walmart at lunch didn't help. It's too painful to even stand or walk for 30 minutes. How said is that?

Tomorrow is my daughter's birthday..she will be 9. Born 9/9/99. Needless to say, I do not feel like shopping, wrapping, having a party or anything else that goes along with it but am doing so anyways because it's not her fault I'm miserable!

I haven't slept too well in a while. Saturday night I took a Phergan that the doc gave me a while back...they knock me on my butt but I felt I needed it to get some good sleep. I slept heavily but every time I would get up to pee or roll over the pain was excrutiating, so I didn't sleep well regardless. Guess my days of good sleep are over.

I can't wait to go back to the dr next Wednesday to see if he schedules my c-section. I start part time work here this week, so I'm only in M-T-Th and then go on full maternity leave Sept 25. I'm so excited~


mrskcich - Friday, 5 September
The doctor said that he would do the c-section in the beginning of October so I will need an u/s before that to make sure she is still breech and because I want to know how big she is. This will happen at 36 or 37 weeks I would imagine.

Right now, Olivia has some limbs sticking out of my right side and it is quite painful. I cannot get it to move.
