the hubby & i are very excited and can't wait to find out what we'll be having!

Nov. 14th - went to the dr today & had my sonogram...

IT'S A BOY!!!

as soon as my dr put the camera on my belly the baby had his little legs wide open! LOL it was an awesome day!

Nov. 17th - today i went to see my inlaws and my sister in laws and neices were there. they were all excited because the baby kept kicking their hands off my belly when they would touch it it was a good day =]

Nov. 27th - for the past few days i've been getting these really ugly pains in my lower area... not sure why... it happens when i'm walking for sitting down... i lay down & i'm perfectly fine but as soon as i get up and start walking around for a bit i'm in pain all overs again... =/ really worried about what this may be... gonna wait and see what happens.. i guess i'll talk to my dr about it on the 12th of next month when i go back to see him again...

Dec. 9th - update! everything seems to be going pretty well :) pains are gone and baby moves all the time like crazy, likes to kick up on my diaphram and my lower area too. he's always moving around both day & night. hubby and the stepson like to feel him kick around. went to the dentist last week and the nurses kepted laughing because while i was having my x-rays done the baby kepted kicking the lead vest up off my tummy so we had to retake and retake the x-rays they were so ammused and said i had a strong baby. my parents call everyday & check up on me inlaws do too everything any of them go to the store they call and see if i need anything :) they're all just as excited about the baby especially my parents since it will be there first grandbaby!

Dec. 19 - 25 weeks today woohoO!!! went to the dr last week everything went well... he is however concerned with the fact that i only gained a pound in a month he said i should gain more this month since i'll be farther along and not to mention the holidays haha depending on my weight i might get another sonogram! i'm pretty sure that my baby is healthy cuz he moves ALL THE TIME kickn away at me especially at night! i love it! went to the dentist today and the dentist couldn't stop laughing because everytime he turned on that drill thingy the loud noise would make the baby squirm around! as soon as he'd turn it off he'd stop moving guess my lil guy didn't like the noise haha

Dec. 21 - went to get my blood drawn for the glucose testing today ack! they discovered i have rolling vains so it wasn't fun i came home with lots of pokes on me :(

Dec. 27 - 26 WEEKS & 1 DAY My goodness how time flies now! Sooooo glad that christmas is over! no more stressing over that anymore went to see my gma out of town yesterday hadn't seen her in over a yr! she was soo excited! :) i was able to see a few family members which was really nice saw 2 of my aunts whom i hadn't seen or talked to since my grandpa passed away almost 4 yrs ago baby is moving more and more! it's awesome! i put headphones on my tummy & where ever the head phones would be he would kick haha too cute!

Jan. 24 - 30 WEEKS & 1 DAY my lil guy is moving more and kickn harder now he makes me jump when he kicks me so hard sometimes! only 10 wks left i can't wait!

Feb. 6 - 32 WEEKS yesterday i had my dr's appointment with my new obgyn i like him almost as much as my old dr so glad my old dr recommended me to him! :) feel very comfortable with him and he's a really nice sweet person he took his time to talk to me about his life and his experience as a dr. only down part about the visit was finding out that i have preeclampsia which means... bedrest until the baby gets here and weekly visits to the dr. oh well... we get to see our little one in u/s's every other week until he comes and dr said he's almost 100% sure he'll be here in march instead of april! woohoo! my babyshower is THIS WEEKEND and i can't wait! it'll be so much fun to see all my friends again. living in another city (though it's only about 25-40 mins away) is hard sometimes i'm not used to being so far away from my friends and family

Feb. 11 - 32 WEEKS & 5 DAYS saturday was my babyshower all i can say is WOAH! it was AWESOME! had a blast mom went waaay outta her way to make it so awesome! :) i love her! she went all crazy buying this and that. it was the PERFECT babyshower! we got almost everything we needed for the baby plus more we had lots of cars & trucks follow us home with all the gifts. i don't think anyone could have had a more perfect day than me =]

Feb. 19 - 33 WEEKS & 6 DAYS i just got back from my dr's appointment unfortunately they found a bit more protein in my urine and my bloodpressure went up a little more... :( have an u/s next tuesday so i will be able to see my lil guy again woohoo!!! pending on my lab results next monday baby may be here by next week!!! if not then between the next 2-4 wks!!! TIME IS FLYING BY AND CAN'T WAIT FOR MY LIL ONE TO BE HERE!!! although i must admit i am worried, hoping and praying that he will be okay and he will be able to come home with me the same day i come home because honestly.. i don't know what i will do if i have to leave him there in the hospital NICU all alone :(

March 7th - baby is 13 days old.

YES I HAD MY LITTLE MIRCALE BABY!!!!

he weighed 3 lbs 5 oz. was 15 3/4 inchs long he was born at 5:36pm didn't expect to have hom so soon but he wasn't moving so he needed to come OUT!!! so i had an emergency c-section. as soon as he was out he was crying and kicking around! he was breathing on his own and did not need any help expect for a little oxygen for a bit he's doing great! drinking more and more milk each day and moves alot! he is anemic and we are praying that he will get better soon :) all he needs to do is gain weight so he can come home! it IS VERY hard to leave that NICU everyday and leave him there but i now understand that it's the best thing for him right now.. i am breastfeeding.. wel.. more like pumping so he can get his milk through his feeding tube hopefully that will be out soon. his dr just called me today and wants me to start trying to get him to latch onto my breast to drink milk so he'll be done with his tube! we're praying that he will gain weight quickly so he will be home VERY soon thank you to everyone for your prayers for my little one is out of danger! :)
