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!!

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.



mrskcich - Friday, 5 September
I was feeling fine but recently realized that my back is hurting pretty bad. I can't sit up because Olivia's head seems to be stuck in my ribs and we fight for room it seems like.

My next appt is Sept 17 @ 9 AM. I don't have an u/s scheduled but I would imagine I would get one. Who knows? I'm hoping we can schedule the c-section at that appt. My fingers are crossed.



mrskcich - Friday, 5 September
hey you.

Well, there is another storm out there that we have to keep our eye on. Hurricane Ike. All of the models have it entering the Gulf so there is always a possibility it hits us. UUUGH! I mean, I love the tracking part of it, but I don't want another hit or a near hit. I got my wish for this hurricane season..I got off of work and got some wind and rain. Enough already! LOL

How are you feeling?


mrskcich - Thursday, 4 September
ahhh, sleep. I remember what that is even though it seems so long ago that I had any! LOL

If she stays breech it will help with the aprehension. I'm not worried about being cut on, I will just feel like a wuss wanting a c-section if she comes out a measley 7 lbs or so.

I won't get checked for dilation till next appt...I so wish she would stay breech but I go into labor before my c-section date...that way I could have the best of both worlds...ya know?


mrskcich - Thursday, 4 September
I had an u/s today just to see her position. I thought for sure she would measure her to see how much she weighed but she was busy and didn't get too. 2 lb weight gain but that's it. Soo relieved since all I've been doing is eating because we were couped up in the house due to the storm.

I am very anxious to know how much she weighs. I mean, they aren't always correct and I know that but this is the first pregnancy that I am able to follow along with like this and it makes it very intense. I am just concerned that I'm making the wrong decision opting for the section. I'm one of those women that doesn't necessarily take the easy way out just because it's offered and I feel like that's what I'm doing. Granted I'm getting my tubes tied again as well but still. If she stays breech it will actually make me feel a lot better knowing that it HAS to be done. Ya know?


GabrielsMom7 - Wednesday, 3 September
I know I can't wait to lay on my belly agian!


GabrielsMom7 - Wednesday, 3 September
I really feel that I won't make it another 6 weeks. Kinda nerve wrecking. At first I had a bad time sleeping but now amazingly I can sleep through the night with an occasional bathroom break. lol


GabrielsMom7 - Wednesday, 3 September
Lol...Im hoping I have him early. Not too early but the way I feel now and having already dropped and him head down already oh yeah and it feeling like him pushing his self out. I don't know how much I can take!!


GabrielsMom7 - Wednesday, 3 September
I hope I get to see him too. My hubby is like you cant tell who he looks like with an ultrasound and Im like sometimes you can. So I really want to prove my hubby wrong. lol With my Dr. Office they really dont tell you anything at all. You have to ask the questions and all. I wish they would talk you through everything especially being a first time mom and all. It's just like I am another pregnant woman.


GabrielsMom7 - Wednesday, 3 September
 Thats really cute! At my baby shower I got a diaper tree! It was the cutest thing!!


GabrielsMom7 - Wednesday, 3 September
Thanks girl! I have to go back to do another 4D cause last time he was head down and his head was turned around so I didn't get to see him. Anyway, I hope they will tell me on Thursday. They don't seem to indulge the info you have to ask everything! Thanks again!
