My name is Desiree. Im young, and scared but hopefully things will work out for the best and everything will turn out just fine. Im going on 18 weeks(December 10th) and havent felt a movement yet, though the doctors says thats normal because I dont really know what im feeling for yet but I look forward to it. Im hoping to have a boy, but I cant really control that. Daddy wants a boy too. I find out on Thursday and I hope for good news.

Today(December 13) I went to the doctor to see the gender of my baby and to see if my baby had down syndrome because of my young age i was at risk. Good news, my baby GIRL...is perfectly NORMAL. Thank the lord for that. I'm pretty excited and can't wait to pick a name. And may God lead me in the right path and have a healthy and safe pregnany.

January 14 I went to the dr. and i am 22.5 wks. i listened to the heart beat and it didnt sound right. I was taken to the ultrasound room to make sure everything was alright. I watched the heart beat and it looked pretty scary to me. So on tuesday i have to go to the special dr. in indianapolis to make sure eveything is goin to be ok. i thought it could have came from caffine because before i walked in the dr. office i drank a diet pepsi. and the dr. tought it could have been from the pop too. But she also said there could be a possible chance for a premiture baby. And i hope thats not what the problem is. so i guess i just have to wait and see.contractions too. Last night i had the worst contraction ever. I felt like i was going to die. seriously. Im trying to eat healthy now too. That way after i have the baby it might be easier for me to loose weight. I've thoght of a name. I like Michaela. but you would pronounce it like Mykayla. Its just like daddy's name with an A on the end of it. Overall im doiing pretty good.

January 19 Lately i've been pretty moody. my appetite has gone down a litlle. im not as hungry all the time as i was before. Im starting feel alot of movement now. and im getting contractions.

February 2 I'm doing pretty good. I've been feeling alot of movements and contractions. Last night i woke up out of my sleep because of the worst charlie horse I've ever had. I stretched too hard and i guess i got stuck. It was the worst feeling ever. Im starting to have deep contractions too. So bad that i have to get up and walk around and it still doesnt go away. I guess my body is getting ready for labor. That's another thing im going to be scared about. Im really affraid to give birth. Especially with me being so young. But im goiing to have to learn how to get ahold of the fact that I am pregnant, and I will have to have my baby. I guess i still look at this as a dream and not reality. But the closer i get to my due date the more seriously i start to take this situation. And this is a real big experience for me, and this has taken a tole and me and has mad me mature a whole lot faster. So im prepared for anything.

March 23 I'm 32 wks. now and I'm moe and more hppier the closer I get. I can't wait for her to get here. I cant wait to see her beautious face and meet her. I'm feeling a little less movements this month. I guess yo could say i'm happy with that but not too happy because now she's kicking my ribs and I can really feel it and yes...it hurts. right now she's about 3.5 pounds. She seems heavier to me though. It's getting harder for me to sleep now because I have to lay in a way thats more comfortable for her. What I mean is with her being so heavy she lays on one side so when she's laying on one side of my stomach I have to make sure I'm on he same side as her, because if not then my back hurts. But eithr way it goes my back hurts. I guess that's something to expect. LatelyI've been actually realizing that I really am pregnant. I mean I know i'm pregnant. Bu I've been looking at it differently. Like When I look at my self (stomach) in the mirror I'm like WOW there's really a baby in there. And it's n something I'm ashamed of. People think I would be because 'monly 15. But I look at it like it's too late to be sitting around being depressed and ashamed about it. Your just your waisting time. She's here and there's nothing you can do about it now. I mean yea, I made a mistke and I have to face the concequences and learn from what I've done, but Im not going to be ashamed of my daughter. I try to get people to understand that, but it doesnt go the way I hope it would. So I just over look it and try not to pay attention to those kind of people. But anyways.... Im just thankful for the people who are there for me and who help me out.

April 13 I went to the doctor friday. She is just under 7 pounds and I'm not dialated yet but my cervix is thinning. I've gained so much weight throughout the whole pregnancy(45lbs.) I hope I'm able to lose it all. I'm a volleyball player and I plan on playing again next school year... so that should be a good workout for me...I've been feeling alot of pain in my lower area...I'm not sure what exactly it is but I think it's normal. I'm soo ready for this to be over.

May 5 It's Almost Time. I'm ready to drop this load any day now. I cant wait to meet my beautiful little babygirl and raise her to be the littleyoung lady that she is. Im ready to play and laugh with her and enjoy life.I know things may get tough but Im ready for the worstand hoping everything will turn out for the best. Im dialated 1.5 cm.I keep waiting for my water to break, it might not though. I might have to be induced, because I can guarentee that I she's not going to be here on time. Im getting as much exercise as I can so my delivery will go nice and smooth.

May 7 I went to the doctor this morning and Im still dialated 1.5 cm. I talke to the doctor and she said my due date might be later than we think. She also said that next week when I go back to the doctor if Im still pregnant then the are going to make sure Im exactly 41 wks. and thier going to set me up for an induction date....Cant Wait
