!about me!

well my name is jessica. i am 17 years old i will be 18 August 31. i have the most wonderful fiance in the whole world, his name is alex. we have been together for 1 year and half. we are expecting our first child, which we were kinda shocked at first, but we have both become very excited that we are going to have little girl. he really felt left out because the doctors dont ever ask what the dad thinks or how he feels about it so i decided to let him name out little princess. as soon as we found out we are having a girl he decided that he wanted to name her leah michelle (which i thought was so cute). well that is just a little about me and leah daddy... wishes the best for all the other mommies

well today is alex's(fiance) birthday, he is a whole 20 years old... i have to do something special for him. i love him so much and he is so supportive. i went to the doctor yesterday for a antibody screening and all was well. little leah's heart rate was in the 150's. i love to hear her heart just beating away on that little machine, although i cant wait for her to get here, neither can her daddy... well i am 27 weeks and 5 days today, it has flown by so fast. i go back to the doctor next tuesday for a rhogam shot, what fun huh... lol... well i will update then.. best wishes to all

well i went to the doctor tuesday for my rhogam shot and it hurt like hell. it felt as if she had to screw the needle in my arm. i also got to hear leah's heartbeat again, which as always was in the 150's. i didn't gain any weight though so that puts me at a total of 17 pounds gained so far. i honestly cant believe that i am already 29 weeks, wow time flys. well i have to go to the women's hospital tuesday for a 4d u/s so i will tell you how everything goes... good luck to all the mommies to be and to all the ttc.

just cant wait for leah to get here

july 02,2008

well i went to my u/s appointment yesterday and leah was great. her heartbeat was 153 and she weighed a little over 2 pounds. she was still head down. she had her little hands all streched out. it was just so sweet... i cant belive how much she has grown since i was 21 weeks... she has her daddy nose and lips to. well wish me luck as i go through these next 10 weeks in the summer and also good luck to everyone else...

only 2 months and 10 days left
