I'm PREGNANT!!!!! WOW!!!!!
A wish of a happy pregnancy to you all!!!!


So... I love Rhylee's Daddy so much. I know I have expressed my concern about my little girls name and after much thought and some great advice from so many of you I decided to just ask Sean if he would consider the name again. Well he just simply replied with "You're Mommy. If you like Rhylee then Rhylee it is" SO HAPPY!!!
Week 24
So I figured that I am going to try to start keeping this up to date that way I can transfer it to a journal or something special for my little girl. I think it would be so cool to have a journal from my Mom's pregnancy. I've never been good with keeping a journal like this so we will see how it goes. I'll try to get brief ya on the beginning. First of all let me say that my due date is August 2nd according to the records at my doctors office. However I am keeping August 9th on here cause that's what my first Ultrasound measured. So Rhylee will be here sometime between August 2nd and August 9th.
4/24/08- Well were do I begin? I have every emotion in the world about being pregnant and becoming a Mommy. Don't get me wrong I am so happy but at the same time so scared. I honestly never thought that I would be here because of female issues I have had from a very young age. So when that pregnancy test showed me 2 lines I almost fell in the floor. I had to take a second one before I called Sean and told him. Maybe I should have waited until we were home together or something and not at work but I was so excited. Yes I was so impatient that I went and bought pregnancy tests during my lunch hour cause reality had finally hit me that I might be pregnant. He actually went to the dollar store and bought 3 more tests to make me take at home so he could see... all of them positive. Talk about a total shock and feeling of WOW!!! Although I am still a little nervous I can't wait to bring my baby girl into this world!! I'm feeling pretty good these days. It seems really hard to wake up in the morning and I have to pee ALL the time so it hard to get a good nights sleep. But I honestly have to say that so far that is the hardest part of my pregnancy. I was blessed with not getting morning sickness to bad. There were times that I would get nauseas when I wasn't eating quickly enough after feeling hungry but that's about it. Some people said that an old wives tell of that is if you don't get morning sickness your having a boy. Well we know now that that is not true. My Mom (Rhylee's Nana) told me that she never really got it either with me. Just garlic would make her sick sometimes. I'm loving the belly that I am getting and people keep telling me that pregnancy looks good one me which is a great complement when you feel like a house sometimes.
We found out that we were having a little girl on 2/22/08. Which we were both very happy about. Sean has a 3 year old little girl named Autumn and she is so precious. I love her as one of my own. Now he is going to have another beautiful little girl and his hands are going to be full. Autumn has him wrapped around her finger and I'm sure Rhylee will as well. I was just about 17 weeks along when we found out. We went to a place called Nestled Newborns. I wanted so badly to have the 3d ultrasound but the lady at the place said it was to early and that she would look like an alien and we wouldn't get very good pictures. But it was up to us. So I decided against it. It pretty expensive. The gender determination alone totaled $90 dollars. And yes I know that we could have waited until my 20 week ultrasound and it would have been free but as I said before I am impatient. Now we have a 3d scheduled for 5/8/08 and I can't wait to see my baby Rhylee. Getting Closer!!!!
We have Rhylee's room already painted and her crib and bedding in there. It just time to get the rest of the furniture and all the little things to make her room complete. I started my registry a few days ago and am realizing how much it is that we actually need. Rhylee's Nana already bought all kinds of clothes for her. We are set on 0-6 month outfits. She is so excited that she is having a granddaughter. Thankfully we are having a baby shower in June so maybe we will get most of it then. I'm really excited about it. I'm going to get to see so many people that I have not seen in a long time :) To be honest I am wondering who will all show. Mt friend Candace is throwing it for me. She's so great!!! I wanted Rhylee's Daddy and our guy friends to be involved so we are having a "Stock the Crib Party." We'll do the shower thing and then have a BBQ and all just hang out. I'm not really a girly girl per say (no offense so please don't take that wrong) so all of the funny bow hates and games just really aren't for me.
Well I guess that is all for now. I have some work that needs to be done. I'm going to add some new pics first though.
Week 25
4/28/08- Well what can I say besides I am exhausted!!!! Last night was the worst night of sleep yet. I guess it was stretching pains or something but I was not comfortable at all and couldn't get comfy. Not to mention the animals were driving me crazy. And once again Daddy was sleeping away. I hate to admit this but some mornings he drives me crazy. Don't get me wrong I love him so much but when he wakes up moaning and groaning like he has had the roughest night I want to scream. He knows nothing about a roughs night of sleep and honestly neither did I until now!!! Not to mention that it's Monday and I am sitting at my desk at work as I write this dreading making it through this day. I might talk to my boss about sliding out a little early. Not to early cause lord knows we need the money.
Oh that actually reminds me. Daddy is wanting to buy a mustang. Which I'm not thrilled about as a family car or the extra insurance. The thing is that he's $500 dollars shy from what he sold the Escort. He's determined to get the money by doing extra work with his Dad and so on which is fine but I think it is a stupid purchase right before Rhylee is born. Guess that's just my opinion. Well that's all for now. I love you Rhlyee!!!
5/1/08- Daddy didn't get his Mustang. I know he wanted it so bad but I have to admit that I am happy that he got something else. It just didn't really didn't seem like a smart decision before Rhylee arrived. He ended up getting a Maxima which is a great family car. Great compared to a Mustang anyways.
Things have been rough for me lately. I'm not sure if its just hormones or what but I feel so disconnected with everyone around me. I have cried so many times today!! I just want to have my baby here and feel normal again. I'm really hoping that tomorrow is a better day!
26 Weeks
5/7/08- Ok so the days have gotten a little better. The hormones episodes kind of come and go but I am feeling good today. I can't wait until tomorrow. I get to see Rhylee in a 3d/4d ultrasound and then I am off work for the afternoon to hang out with her Daddy. It will be a well deserved break from work and a great Mothers day gift to be able to see my little girl. I hope that we get some great pictures!!!!!
I set up an email address for Rhylee today so that her family and loved ones could write her messages and send her pictures. Sean said it was a corny idea but I don't care. I think she will be grateful for it when she gets older. Hopefully people will participate and be a part of but if not she will have a ton of emails from me :)
The pregnancy is going well. the only real complaint I have is that my feet hurt so bad sometimes that it actually hard to walk. How crazy is that? they get all swollen and puffy to and look kind of funny because the are so small. The belly is getting bigger by the day and I am loving it. Although I am still not sure how I feel about people touching it all the time. Unless it Sean of course. Rhylee's Nana put her head on my belly when I was in Tennessee visiting her and swore she heard Rhylee. I just smiled and went along with it. Maybe she did and maybe she didn't but it was cute that she thought she did. I miss her!!!!! She will be here when Rhylee is born. Or at least I hope so. We are supposed to call her as soon as I go into labor and she is coming down. It's about a 4.5 hour drive so I hope she makes it.

Saturday, 21 June Hey there. You can't take tylenol nighttime, but can take two extra strength tylenols every four to six hours...for your throat, dip down to the pharmacy and look in the mouthwash aisle for a product called Sterisol. Its red and tastes like crap, but usually gets rid of my sore throats within a day...other than that, just hot tea with honey, i guess, and lots of pampering. If you're really blocked up, you can always try the hanging-over-the-sink trick, with the hot water running and a towel over your head...breathe thru your nose if you can, for a minute, then breathe in thru your mouth, and out thru your nose. The steam ought to loosen it up a bit, and you ought to start dripping....Good luck, and I hope you feel better! AliciaW825 -
Saturday, 21 June If you go to webmd.com there is a list of stuff that is safe to take while pregnant. It has a list of cold medicine and what ingredients to look for that are safe. Hope this helps! ragskusa24 -
Saturday, 21 June Hi...Tylenol is fine to take. Tylenol PM is too. I have taken both and know other people who have also. Just stay away from things like aleve, advil and other anti-inflammatories! Stick to Tylenol and you'll be fine. xkarenx -

Wednesday, 4 June Hi there!
Just read your post on the 31 week page. I see you live in Acworth. I grew up there and now live in Roswell. We are due at the same time also. Small world...Would be funny if we delivered at the same time too. missyny -
Wednesday, 4 June Hi there! You look GREAT! dsmrwtnttn -
Wednesday, 4 June You certainly don't look like you've gained 35 pounds! Lucky you! I've gained about 32 so far, and I'm rather short, so I really feel like it shows sometimes.
Not too much longer & we'll meet our little girls. It's so exciting. :D elimama -
Monday, 19 May i am going through the same thing with the shoulder and the hand!!! I asked the dr about it today, and he said it might be carpel tunnel, which is pretty common in pregnant women because the hormones make our ligaments looser. But get this, he said there's nothing we can do about it! I told him it was really hurting, and he said if I went to the ER they would just tell me to get a wrist guard for work so I wouldnt be so uncomfortable! He said it would go away 6-8 WEEKS AFTER the baby is born! I almost passed out. I'm getting a second opinion cause I cannot take this pain. He says if it doesnt go away after that, then I should worry. I need something!!!! I feel your pain, but is yours in both hands or just one? Mine is the left side only, and it hurts from underneath my armpit all the way to my fingertips. I can't stretch my arm out, and the pain radiates down my fingers and kills!
Sorry for the long post, but if u find some remedy, let me know pleeeease! Hope you feel better... Mommy-Melissa -
Monday, 19 May About your hands. I had that with my first pregnancy. I couldn't even brush my hair because it hurt to grip the brush. I was in tears. At the beginning they told me no salt, but that didn't help so they took me off work and my hands went back to normal after I had the baby. Good Luck!! mumofsix -
Thursday, 8 May I say good on you, not goofy at all to come up with an idea like that. Think outside the box, who wants to do things the same as everyone else. Tremelsong -
Thursday, 8 May My husband bought our website at www.godaddy.com. We just used her name +our last name.com and it was available. You'd then, of course, have to build the website or find someone who knows how to do it. Lord knows I have no clue - I depend on my computer geek husband ! :) MommaD -
Wednesday, 7 May I think the email idea is cute. It made me smile b/c it reminds me of something my sister would do. She's always coming up with creative things to do. sapphiregirl -
Wednesday, 7 May Yeah we think so too, it is a long complicated story but she loves her daddy like no tomorrow!! The smile on her face when she saw him was priceless! sapphiregirl -
Wednesday, 7 May Of course he is also very sentimental considering he has a 12 year old daughter that isn't really part of his life, not by his choice. He would have loved to have something like that for her as she was growing up lol. I met her once right after we got married and she is adorable and favors him a lot, it was such a good day, and the first time he had seen her in over 5 years, and the last time since :( sapphiregirl -
Wednesday, 7 May Now your just enlarging his ego lol. He is a good guy but I can't let him know that all the time lol. savvysmom05 -
Wednesday, 7 May What a GREAT idea! I don't think people are laughing at you. I think it will be great to print those emails off and save for your little princess. Congrats and take care! sapphiregirl -
Wednesday, 7 May Hubby also wanted me to tell you whoever doesn't think it is an awesome idea is an idiot lol. I didn't want to post that but he really wanted me to tell you lol. We both think it is a great idea and plan on doing the same thing!!! Thanks for the idea, we are definetly stealing it lol. jessipoo -
