I had actually had one previously in the ER because of some spotting I was having. The tech. didn't really know what she was doing at all and didn't even get the heart beat count correct. That's okay though because everything turned out to be fine. Well anyways at my appt. I had the pap smear and the std check. You know the usual? After that he check the heart beat with the Doppler and got it! I am so proud of my little bean. When I got into the ultrasound room I was so nervous. I don't know why, but I was. When he started the first thing Charlie and I saw was our little angel using my uterus as a trampoline. Even my doctor was smiling. He/she is very active. On the way out the nurses gave me a packed of all kinds of coupons and magazines. It was so nice. I mean so many $5 off dippers. That's like wonderful. I will really use those. They also gave me my orders to go do the blood work. So I finally get to the hospital after forgetting and getting half way home and I had to sit and wait at least an hour only to get some student who really didn't know how to draw blood.I had to push the needle further into my vain because she failed to do so. That really makes me upset because even though your only a student that isn't something you should mess up on. All in all it was a wonderful day because I got to see my little angel. Here's my little angelAug. 8, 2007 15weeks4days! Today was my 2ed appt. and I got to hear the heart beat. It was such a relief because I was having a lot of bad thoughts. It was 145bpm. Strong! My doctor said that the blood work came out normal. So that's a good thing. I was only worried about the anemia because I know I didn't have hiv lol He gave me a new order to go have blood work done for down syndrome and spina bifida. I pray to God everything comes out to normal. Even if it doesn't I know I will love my baby with all my heart and give it everything I can. On another note I'm finally starting to look pregnant rather than just plump and starting have a lot more energy! August 23, 2007 17weeks5days! Lately I been missing my son so much. I can't believe I gave him up to his father. I know I was young, but I should of had more since. In case you are wondering. I got pregnant when I was 12. To a very controlling and abusive man. After three years of drugs to get away from him I didn't want it anymore and left. I was tricked into signing my parental rights away from my son by his father and my father believe it or not. Now the only way I am able to see him is if I promise to go back with his father, but I'm totally in love with my boyfriend and I don't want to live like that. I'm hoping to work with a lawyer soon to get the paper over turned. I was totally mislead in that decision. Last night I started feeling my baby move way more. It's getting so strong and I can't wait until my boyfriend will be able to feel it through my tummy. It's amazing. I can't wait to see he/she's little face. Just looking up at me you know? I have an appt on the 5th of next month. I really hope my ob will do an ultrasound to find out the sex. For some time I wanted a little girl, but now I'm leaning towards wanting a little boy. Either way all I really want is a healthy strong baby.Aug. 24, 2007 17weeks6days Baby shower gifts for Eva! BEFORE I WAS A MOM Author Unknown
Before I was a Mom I made and ate hot meals. I had unstained clothing. I had quiet conversations on the phone. Before I was a Mom, I slept as late as I wanted And never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday. Before I was Mom I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words of lullabies. Before I was a Mom I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom I had never been puked on Pooped on Spit on Chewed on Peed on Or pinched by tiny fingers Before I was a Mom I had complete control of: My thoughts My body And my mind. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child So that doctors could do tests Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces When I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small Could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a Mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small Could make me feel so important. Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay I had never known the warmth The joy The love The heartache The wonder Or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.
A
baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but
how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you." The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy." God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy." Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?" God
said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you
will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will tea ch
you how to speak." "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray." "Who will protect me?" God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life." "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore." God
said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you
the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you." At
that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could
be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now,
please tell me my angel's name." God said, "You will simply call her, "Mommy. " I never had the time to write my birth story so I figured now would be as good as time as ever. Charlie and I had stayed up really late on January 16 watching movies. Around midnight (January 16) after Charlie and I made love I started feeling pains in my lower back. I kept them to myself not to worry Charlie any. After a while they got to where they were causing me to tense up so I let Charlie know. He started timing these pains and he was telling me they were 10 min apart. I had plans on waiting to go to the hospital when I had contraction 3 min aprt. and no later unless my water broke. The thing is though I wasn't having "contractions" in my book. I never not one time ever throughout my whole labor felt a actual contraction. It was just horrid back and way low abdominal pains that the monitor couldn't even pick up. Still I had plans that if those pains got to be 3 min. apart I was going. Two hours later they were irregular, but stronger. Charlie and I were sitting up in bed and I thought my water bags were leaking. It was constant, but different from my bladder. We then decided to go into labor and delivery. We got there and all the nurses were really nice. They gave us a room and got me ready to be checked. I had told them about the pains and the leaking and she checked and said that in fact my water was leaking. So they got me ready and gave me a room until my labor progressed. I dilated to 5 in a matter of two hours if I remember correctly and then STOPPED! So they started me on pitosin (sp?) They got me dilating again, but slowly. Seventeen hours later I was finally ready for the epidural. Guess what? It failed completely and I was started on oxytosin. That stuff puts your right into active labor. I could of swore my ass hole was busing open or something. The anesthesiology was putting more and more trying his best to help me, but nothing seemed to numb me. Finally after being at 9 for like 40 min. the nurse said I could push. Not that I needed that information I was going to push anyways. I pushed for about 30 min. or so that seemed to be a complete lifetime and Eva Rayne Breaux was brought into this world. She was beautiful. She scared me because she would cry, but she was okay and breathing. I think now she was just being a good girl. They did finally get her to cry and bruised her food doing so. She was 6lbs 11oz 18 inches long. She was born at 6:11pm With Charlie and I in the dilevery room was our grandmothers. I think it was truly special and she was worth every bit of pain and I would do it all over again for her. Although at the time I wanted someone to shoot me. lol :)
