First of all I would like to give all honor to God for my many blessings. I am 24 yrs old and married to my soulmate LaDarrylus. It is a blessing to meet someone who will not only love you but your child. He proposed to me on Mother's Day 2006 and we were married Sept 10 2006 and our one year anniversary is coming up!!!! It was the most amazing day of my life. I am the proud mother of Kennedy who is 3 going on 30 and soon to be Morgan James Barnes. She is excited about her new baby brother, but no one is more excited then my hubby. Since I've known him all he has talked about is his future son-he already had the name picked out. I believe this is it for us. I don't know if I can handle more then two. This pregnancy has been going pretty well, I had some bleeding early on but no harm done. We actually decided that we would start trying the same month I got pregnant. Never imagined it would happen that quickly. I was nervous b/c May of 2006 we miscarried at 6 weeks it was very painful but God pulled us through. I want to send out many blessings to all those who are soon to be mommies, trying, and just given birth.

My Hubby, Love you so much!

Before After

Ok, here's my belly shot at 28 weeks. I took this w/my camera phone and let me say it took alot to get this whole belly on the camera lol. Even bigger in person. I have a thousand conversations a day about how I'm not going to make it, and I look like I can go anyday now.. MAKES ME WANT TO SCREAM!!!! I mean can my baby lungs develope first lol

Belly at 35 weeks

My Angel...if only he slept like this at night (sigh)

06/28/07--I will be 22 weeks tomorrow and the baby is moving more and more. It's exciting and I wish it was November already. I wonder what he will look like, how tiny he will be or how big. My daughter was 9lbs and 10 1/2 ounces. So I'm hoping that he will be smaller then she was b/c I didn't have a c-section. But I will endure the necessary pains to bring him into the world.

07/06/07--I am feeling so fat, why do we have to gain weight everywhere. So unfair :(--I probably shouldn't have checked the scale today at work. Well I still have 3 months to go. I think that I will go swimming everyday to workout. So at least my arms and legs can tone up. I don't mind my belly getting bigger, but the rest of me can just stop!

07/13/07--24 weeks and counting down!!!!! We're all so excited about Morgan. I hoping the weeks go by fast.

07/16/07--I'm so excited, yesterday we could actually feel a body part of the baby. It felt like an arm or leg. When we touched it, he would slide it away. I love feeling Morgan move, even though he likes to kick my bladder often.

It is so hard staying at work, my head hurts and I'm exhausted. I didn't work w/Kennedy and I promised myself I would work the next time. But I just want to stay in bed all day.

07/18/07--Today I had my doctor's appt and it was just a regular routine check up.He did prescribe me some iron pills. But I must be going thru the nesting stage b/c I want to clean my house top to bottom. I have been working on it since my appt and I'm not half way done and exhausted already. Any kind of clutter or unnecessary paper is driving me crazy. So I'm getting rid of a lot of things. I just don't want to have to wait until the last min. to get things in order.

07/21/07--I'm 25 weeks and so excited. I'm feeling the baby move more and more. He's up all day and at night is when he's pretty quite. I hope he keeps this pattern up until after he's born lol. It still amazes me that a life can be inside of you. We love him so much and can't wait to meet him. But I still have a lot of things to do and he needs to bake a little longer. So until Nov 2nd....

07/27/07--Well I made it to week 26 and I am officially uncomfortable. Sitting up hurts and lying down is painful. Not to mention everyone thinks I'm due any day now. My hubby is being very understanding and considerate. Probably due to the pregnancy symptoms he had early on lol. When he was up sick he vowed to be understanding, if it would just go away. But anyhow I'm happy to make it thru another week...

08/02/07--had a small scare today. Yesterday Morgan moved non stop and then today I didn't feel him move all morning. So I called my doctor about 12:30, and she advised me to drink a can of Mountain Dew and lay down for an hour. He moved 27+times, so that was a huge relief. I hate the part about worrying, not being able to see my baby and not knowing if everything is ok. But the Mountain Dew worked and had him bouncing around. When he gets here, we're going to have a long talk about worrying his momma lol

08/03/08--3RD TRIMESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am finally in my 3rd trimester and can't believe it. It seemed like eternity, but I think it is going to start going by fast now, with all the extra doctor appts and babyshower. I also have my 1 year anniversary coming up. So I'm excited and can't wait to continue to count down the weeks until I can hold Morgan. I can't wait to see what he looks like, until then.....

08/09/07...today Morgan has the hiccups. It's so cute b/c I think he's getting frustrated. After a few hiccups in a row...he wiggle around trying to make them stop-but they just kept on going. Poor baby-doesn't likes the hiccups. I can't blame him...

08/10/07....28 Weeks today!!!! Unfortunatly time still seems to be going by pretty slow :( . I want to hold my baby, I want my body back, and to just plain old feel normal again. My hubby on the other hand metioned last night that this pregnancy is going by fast. WHAT! but then again he doens't have to carry the baby for 9 months...

08/15/07...Today I had my doctor's appt and took the test for Gestational Diabetes, hopefully everything will come back fine. My next appointment is in 3 weeks and then I will start to go every two weeks Yea! Maybe time will finally decide to pick up. I want to hold and see him so much!!!!

Well I found out I failed my test and I have to go back for the 3 hour test :(, I hope I past this one.,,,

08/20/07...So I passed my 3 hour glucose test! What a blessing! I definetly do not want to take that test again. Going all morning w/nothing to eat is crazy..I thought I was going to pass out lol. But I made it and that's one less thing to worry about....

08/24/07...30 WEEKS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!! Just 10 weeks to go, please let time fly lol.
