Hiya, My name is Kerri, I am 33 years old and have a 6 year old daughter and a son who will be 5 in December.

When I found out I was pregnant, It was a total shock, and at first I just felt like I could not breath, after a few weeks, and then hearing that heartbeat and seeing that little baby threw U/S, I knew that God had chosen to give me another baby for a reason ....

I work full time as a CNA, and right now I am starting to think that my body can not handle all that lifting and running, and I am so tired till the end of the day, but my dr assured me that because I have been doing it for almost 12 years, that my body will adjust and he wants me to keep working.

I had an ultrasound On November 21st. They could not tell me the sex of the baby, because it was moving around so fast, they could not get a good look...... Some crazy people are trying to tell me that when it looks like the baby is out of control in the womb, it is actually 2 of them..... I say it is from the one cup of coffee my DR says is safe to have each morning lol........ Go back December 20th for another US, hopefully the baby clams down just enough to get a glimse of what I am having.

My children are gettting more and more excited each day, of course my son wants a brother and my daughter wants a sister........... lol They have even suggested quite a few names

December 10th- had another U/S today, and the baby is still so active we can not find out what we are having. This was the second attempt and the DR just laughed and said, I think someone wants to be a surprise... My daughter was the same way, we had no clue till she was born... I go December 20th for an anatomy U/S so hoping they can tell. I would love to wait and be surprised, but my youngest turned 5 today, and I got rid of all my baby stuff almost 3 years ago, so I have to get everything, and would prefer to know what I am buying for , rather then get all nuetural colors.

December 25th- I had my anatomy U/S December 20th and found out we are having another boy.. My son was so excited, he was jumping up and down and very happy. My daughter was not as excited, But I am sure once she see's her new brother, she will love him with all her heart... Today was a fun day, lol other then the kids waking me at a little after 5am, yelling SANTA WAS HERE! Took me a while this afternoon to find my living room and family room, so many toys, and my mom reminded me that next year we will have 3, so an even bigger mess... Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.

December 28th- Well, I know from my previous children, that I am suppose to get some energy back, and I am still waiting for that to happen... Till I get home from work, make supper, do some laundry, clean up that mess, run the vaccum, and other stuff that has to be done, bath the children, read to them or spend some time with them, I feel like my body is exhausted and having to run up those steps for the bathroom has become an entire chore in its self. Baby is moving and active... My daughter , still upset it is a boy, asked me last night, if we could pretend the baby is a girl, I told her no, and she said well thats not fair...... I am sure she will come around, and eventually enjoy being the only little princess in our home...

January 8th- Well my little man has been nonstop today, and his kicks are really picking up in strength.. Go Thrusday for another blood pressure check, hopefully It comes down , because I really do not need or want bed rest, with a 5 and 6 year old at home , bed rest would put my blood pressure higher I do believe....... But I am more worried about being put off work, as long as I am put off on a weight restriction I can collect UE, if I am put off because of hypertention, I can not collect which would be very hard........

January 10th- Had my appt today, my blood pressure is finally coming down , still a little high, but not near as bad as it was... So hopefully the meds continue to work. Babys heartbeat was good at 157, and I swear the kicks have picked up a few notches over night....I seem to be getting more emotional the closer I get, and This is not new to me, with 2 children already, I have no idea why I am so scared about having another child

March 7th- I am still working, which is getting so much harder each day, lol It is all I can do to tie my own shoes, let alone the residents I take care of each day, and the constant lifting and rolling patients who do not do much on there own, is starting to take its toll..... I go to my OB once a week , and have to have an ultrasound once a week to keep a track on the babys growth from the GD and Hypertention combined.... We are getting ready to move in about 3 weeks, and lol besides having to pack the house up, I have to find something to do with all this baby stuff till We move and I can get the nursery set up, I did not realize how much I had till I started going through everything.

March 13th- Well I have been having contractions off and on for about 2 days now. Had my weekly apppointment this morning, and my OB put me off work effective immediatley.. Not what I was expecting, but we will manage somehow I am sure. Baby is very low, and causing a ton of pressure, I was told today that they will deliver the baby at 38 weeks. So I guess I have more time to get my house packed up , since we are moving at that end of the month.

March 26th- The baby has finally decided to turn head down, and the pressure has just gotton worse, and he keeps sticking his tiny little butt out, and for some reason it is very painfull. My OB told me that if I make it to 37 weeks, he is going to pull the plug, that there are to many problems arising to take it any further. We are trying to get ready to move, Im not allowed to lift anything, so It is not going to be easy. I am just happy that in 3 weeks he will deliver me, and I can be done with this. I am very happy about the baby, but this pregnancy has just been so much worse then the other 2, and alot more painfull.
