Hey! My name is Krystle and I am 22 years old. I found out I was pregnant on October 8. My boyfriend and I have a loving home together with two sweet cats Sadie and Zeus, and we're both extremly fun loving! Although we don't know what lies ahead of us, we are looking forward to embarking on this journey together! I am due on June 11, 2008 and it couldn't come any sooner!

Wednesday, 10 Oct

So I am 5 weeks today. Only symptoms are bein very tired, nausea after eating (which im eating all salty foods!!), and I swear I can cry at the drop of a pin! I feel like I have already gained so much weight. Zach is still really nervous which brings me down. I know as it goes on he will accept it though. He told me he will support me through the whole thing. He thinks we're too young which I do agree but hey, what happened happened. He is 25 and I am 22. I know its not too young, but we're big travelers! Guess that will have to go on hold!

Wednesday, 17 Oct

I had my first appointment today!! They confirmed I was pregnant through the urine test, then she checked the position of my uterus and said it was faced towards the back and engorged a bit which was both good since that means things are progressing well, and she also took blood test to make sure the numbers are all correct since my first pregnancy didnt go all that well. I am so excited!! I came home and Zach just didn't seem to care. That really hurts. I know he would never leave me or anything, but he's just so uninterested in this whole thing. He is 25 and still acts like he is 15. I just feel like I wanna move back to Chicago and start my life over sometimes. UGHHH. Im stressed now.

Thursday, 18 Oct

So, I had to go back to the doctor today because I had some bleeding last night. I called the night nurse and she called me back and told me it was probaly ok but had the doctor call me. He called and told me also that is was probaly ok but they wanted me to get in the next day to get an ultrasound. So this morning I got one done! They saw the gestational sac and the yolk sac in there and said it looked like a normal early pregnancy. My hcg levels were in the mid 8,000's and my progesterone level was sorta low so they decided to put me on prometruim which is a progesterone supplement. So i hope this will do it! Zach called me the whole time since he couldnt make it with me. I think he felt bad. Ugh, finally hes understanding!

Saturday, 3 Nov

so i have only awesome updates for my page!! ok, last week we went in for the ultrasound again and we found a hearbeat which was good but, i was still bleeding and the heartbeat was only 120. so she was real concerned and this week she did another ultrasound and the heartbeat was 153 which was perfect! zach walked in right when we found it (he was late) and he was so overwhelmed by it! it was awesome to see how interested he was in the baby. he was pointing out the head and all the lims and watching the babys hearbeat. it was so amazing! my doctor told me im finally out of high risk and im a normal preggo mommy now! i havent bleed since last thursday too which is amazing! i love this little baby already so much. its such a surreal feeling to know that theres a baby growing in me right now. its weird in a way. yet so cool! im so jolly feeling! haha. plus all the christmas stuff is starting to come out in stores and this only makes me happier. i love christmas soooo much! ahh! :)

Thursday, 15 Nov

10 weeks today! im so excited to be in the double digits already! ive been feeling so tired lately. tired and moody. sometimes i wanna eat everything and sometimes i just dont want anything. im driving myself crazy with worry nowadays! i know that at my next appt on the 28th they said they probaly wouldnt do another u/s but i really, really want one for peace of mind! especially since the beginning of my pregnancy was bleeding and all that bad stuff. ive just gotta stop worrying!! in other news, i feel so fat right now! my clothes are at that snug point where everytime i sit i have to unbutton my pants in order to feel comfy. i dont know what to wear yet!i feel like im already showing. ughhh. see you next week!

Sunday, 18 Nov

so i had to finally post my ultrasound pic from 8 weeks. i know its late but i was real excited about it! we thought of some really good baby names lately! for a boy we like dylan or noah and a girl we like and i love madison! although the boy names may change, the girl name definitly isnt!

Thursday, 29 Nov

so yesterday I went to the doctor for my 12 week check up!! all went great! i had to go to the coordinator first since i hadn't done that yet, then afterwards they did a very thorough exam of me and bloodwork, and they used to doppler to hear the heartbeat! its in the 160s she said. thats such a sigh of relief. im feeling a lot better as of 12 weeks. its so weird how normal i feel now. i also got an overwhelming urge to eat and keep eating yesterday even after i finished dinner. uh oh! here comes eating for two! im really trying to keep up the fiber supplements and have also started on a dha supplement for my baby. my doctor gave me a huge bag of stuff to take home and it had a book and a magazine and samples of everything! it was so nice! im stressed about my insurance as of now though. i fell under full time this year for my job, so come march 31 when they renew my insurance, i think they are going to drop me! if they do i am royally screwed. so im going to have to get that all straightened out right away. scary stuff! hope everyone is doing great! not long now til the fun stuff starts, like showing and feeling movements! we're gonna be mommies!! :D oh, ps- i lost 6 lbs when i felt like i gained 10!! weird, huh? no complaints here though.

Saturday, 1 Dec

ugh, yesterday and today i feel nauseated. i knew all that talking about not having morning sickness would get back to me somehow. ugh!! at least im hungry though. im actually cooking stuffed mushrooms at 9 in the morning!! yea, a bit weird, huh?

Monday, 3 Dec

i ate like a BEAST today at olive garden!!! i had 3 bowls of salad, ravioli (all of it), and a million breadsticks!! my co-worker was like 'damn, you NEVER eat that much!'. she knows im preggo, she just thought it was funny that i was eating so much! i cannot help myself though. especially at olive garden, its a pregnant womans paradise. all you can eat salad thats REALLY good? YEA!! i sound so fat talking about it, but it really made my day to eat there. haha, im going to look back on this and just laugh at myself. i sound ridiculous!!

Wednesday, 19 Dec

15 weeks already! i cant believe 10 weeks has already past since my first post on here! time goes by way too fast. and christmas is only 6 days away! ive been feeling better lately. really hungry all the time. but my digestive system is just about non existant! i have been constipated for about a week now and my doctor put me on miralax and it hasnt done anything yet but give me gas! im patiently waiting for it to kick in! i also do not think im showing yet although a pair of my jeans that fit last week do not anymore!! depressing! i dont see a baby bump! i see me being bloated. yuck. my next appt is the day after christmas, so getting to hear the heartbeat will be the best christmas gift ever! i love hearing it. its such an amazing feeling. still so surreal!! have a good christmas!

Wednesday, 26 Dec

so I had my 16 week checkup today and all went well! the second the dr put the doppler on my stomach we heard the heartbeat! 157 bpm! what a champ! :) he said i looked good and my pressure that i am feeling is completely normal as long as i dont have bleeding. i gained my 6 lbs back that i lost at last appt! haha, i knew that one was coming though. ive eaten so much lately! christmas was great! we got our little `bean ` as we call him/her a bunch of stuff! zach and i had a wonderful christmas and i had an even better one with my family! they `re amazing. zach bought me the best thing ever. well two awesome things, one is a maternity pillow by "leach" called grow to sleep i think, and he also got me a $400 isqueeze from brookstone. no swollen feet for me!! so anyways, in 2 weeks i get my ultrasound!! i cant believe 2 weeks already!! ahhhhh! boy or girl time! its so soon! january 9th at 4pm! wish me luck :)

Wednesday, 2 Jan

17 weeks! one more week til my ultrasound and i get to find out if its a boy or girl. everyone around me including myself thinks its a boy, and only two people think its a girl! im honestly going to have the same reaction either way. im gonna wanna jump off the ultrasound table and just jump around in excitement! haha. today i got my AFP test done at my doc. can you believe in just 1 week i gained 3 pounds?? ugh. i need to lay off the food! ive also been battling a horrible cold. my throats been hoarse for a few days now and no one can understand me. my voice gives out midway through talking! yuck. i think i felt a movement the other day, too!! i dont know though. it could have been gas but it felt a bit different. i hurried up and put zachs hand on it and he said he felt it real quick, too! then it stopped. if it was though it was amazing and i cant wait for more!!

Thursday, 10 Jan

yesterday i had my 18 week checkup. 18 weeks already! we found out that im having a GIRL!!!! i know i kept saying i was hoping for a boy but the second i heard girl my face just lit up! and she is so big! her spine was perfect. and they checked her heart which had all 4 chambers, her kidneys, her bladder, her brain, her fingers and bones. it was great! the placenta is up top which is perfectly away from the cervix! we saw her swallowing and sucking her thumb for a split second. it was too cute! we have a ton of pics from it, too! zach took me afterwards to dinner and then we went baby girl shopping! then we saw a movie and i felt my baby girl moving the whole time! i know its her now because the exact spot where i feel her move is where the u/s tech put the wand thing. so it isnt my digestive system after all! we showed my parents real quick too and they were both ecstatic! zachs an only child so his mom was super excited (i think because she never had a girl before)! after the ultrasound i felt like i wanted to tell the world. i felt so proud. nothing could have prepared me for how that moment made me feel. i am totally in love with this baby already! i dont think i can fully comprehend the fact that the big baby on the u/s screen is actually in my stomach. i love it!!

Thursday, 24 Jan

20 weeks!! halfway point already! i had my checkup today. all is well. in the words of the doctor `totally normal ` pregnancy. good to hear. he said that im feeling movement down low because thats where the baby should be, right in between the pelvic bone. i was so concerned about hearing everyone else say they felt theres up high and my doctor is like `stop reading into it!! ` haha i guess i had to hear it. im really happy my little one is doing good. my cravings have still been cucumbers and a new one is now chips and salsa, only from mexican restaurants, and of course appple juice. i seem to need a nap everyday now too! zach and i are still trying to move out of this condo that we `ve been stuck in for years. i cant walk up 3 flights of stairs anymore!

Wednesday, 20 Feb

24 week checkup today! i met with a midwife this time. my blood pressure was only 120/68 and i gained 9 lbs!!! ugh, my god! so i guess thats a total of 16lbs to date. ive never in my life seen this foreign number on my scale! anyways, babys heartrate was 160 which he said was a great and very strong rate. i have sciatica. woo dee doo! its horrible. i had it pretty bad a few weeks back trying to plug in a wire at work. i was almost in tears with how bad the pain was. now its on the right side and its a constant thing everytime i walk. its horrible. he said the only thing that would help was acupuncture! ugh. anyways, we `re officially naming our daughter riley kathleen! i cannot wait to see what she looks like and how she takes to me! its all still so surreal!!

Thursday, 28 Feb

25 weeks today! i woke up with a horrible backache and it went on to become a crippling pain at work. it hurt me soooo bad! so i went to the bathroom when i got home and noticed that i urinated blood!! only like 3 little tiny specks but still enough to freak me out. so i called my doc and she told me to come right in. so i went in and got hooked up to the fetal monitor and contraction monitor. baby was doing great and i had a few contractions. not big though. so after 4 hours of waiting around and watching tv with zach they told me i had a uti! ughhh. ive had uti `s before and i never knew how different and painful they could be during pregnancy! my doc said that if i didnt come in and get it treated then i could have went into preterm labor. so thank god i went in!! my cervix was closed and high up which was a good sign, too. yay!

Wednesday, 12 Mar

27 weeks already! i feel huge! im feeling pretty good. my sciatica has gone away for now and everythings been going great! im mainly craving fried pickles as of the past 2 weeks and also entenmann `s raspberry danish coffee cake. its soooo yummy! i think we found a house. we just have to submit the paper work and if all is well we will be in at the end of this month! oh i hope it works out. its such a cute house, plus it will take a lot of stress off my shoulders. i get to go to the doc next wednesday for my gestational diabetes test. wish me luck!

Wednesday, 19 Mar

28 weeks today. had my gd test and my checkup. checkup was fine but turns out i am 5 points past what they consider normal and i have to take the 3 hours gd test now. i actually felt fine and thought the drink was good! im so scared that ill have gd. ughhh. i gained 21 lbs so far. blood pressure was great, no more uti either. basically all good news except the gd thing. ughh, im so disappointed. my day is ruined.

Wednesday, 9 April

31 weeks! last week we finally moved into our new house! yay! it sucked though because as soon as i left work i went over to the house and started feeling yucky. my parents came over to help unpack and i threw up! from 6pm-midnight i ended up throwing up 20 times! ughhhh. it was the worst thing ever. i stayed with my parents that night. the next day I went to the doc and they checked me out and told me it was either hormones, a bug, or food poisoning from taco bell! yuck! anyways, today i had my 31 week checkup and i had them do another pelvic exam because ive been having some pretty painful braxton hicks and real bad pressure. turns out im fine. cervix is closed and her head is facing down but it isnt in my pelvis yet thankfully. i cant imagine how its gonna feel when it is! ive gained 29 lbs so far. my blood pressure was lower today than usual. nurse said it was still ok though. ive been craving ice cream and fried pickles a lot, too! zach and i still arent getting along. hes just not as involved as i thought he'd be. i hate his band and i hate the fact it comes before anything and everything in his life. he'd rather play a show 11 days before rileys due, which is his birthday, and spend it with his friends rather than me. he is the most selfish person i have ever met. i just feel like giving up sometimes. ugh.

Wednesday, 16 April

32 weeks! last sunday my mom threw me my shower. it was so much fun! we played the baby game where you cant say "baby" or you got your clothes pin away from you. that was cute. and the other one where theres a small dixie cup of ice and in the middle of the ice was a baby and who ever broke the water first got a prize. haha, too much fun. my mom and dad got me a crib and mattress and also a rocker! yay! at the shower we got bedding, a changing table, a pack n play, a boppy pillow, some bibs, shoes, and a bunch of other stuff. no clothes though! weird. anyways, today i had my checkup. all went well! 160 heart rate like usual. 8 weeks to go!!

Wednesday, 30 April

34 weeks! i had my second shower last saturday. it went great! i got a lot of the smaller things i needed like clothes and lotions and carriers. so that worked nicely. today i went to the doc and ughhhhh!! they did an u/s and confirmed its still a girl, but sadly she's breech! i have two more weeks and then theyre gonna decide what to do from there. i think i might try the version to get her to move back into the right position! then again c section would be so easy. ugh, i just dont know what to do. im so scared of being numb and not feeling myself breathe during the c section. i dont want to have a huge panic attack on the table. i gained 5 more lbs by the way which brings me to 35 lbs! ugh! thats a lot of weight. oh, the doc said she had a really cute face when she did the u/s! that makes me so excited!! i cant wait to meet her. lastly, we had our childbirth classes yesterday and the day before. we had so much fun! 6 more weeks!

Glad to see that daddy-to-be came through on Mother's Day! Sounds like you have a good one... hard to believe this is the last one we'll have w/o a live being in our arms! I can hardly wait!

jillb - Saturday, 10 May
We have gotten a lot of rain and t'storms lately but thankfully, no damdage. My parents live near Tupelo, MS (where the tonado hit Thursday). That was really scary! Well, I am headed to bed. Happy Mother's Day! Have a fun and relaxing weekend!

mommy2boys - Friday, 9 May
Exactly! Both poses work the same way, but for some crazy reason the cat pose just didn't feel like it was doing ANYTHING. So, I prefered the "on the back, feet up on couch, with pillows elevating hips". It did make it difficult to breath from the pressure of the uterus and baby pressing on my lungs, but I felt like I was lengthening my body and giving him room to move. Good luck!

jillb - Friday, 9 May
Nevermind, I see where you are from. It sounds like my storm came your way last night.

jillb - Friday, 9 May
Yeah, I know what you mean about the sciatic pain too. I will get it every now and then. But, I just can't sleep either. We had tornado warning going on yesterday too. I am in Alabama. Yikes!! It was scary. My husband actually took my daughter (and himself) to her closet yesterday since the sirens were going off and the trees were blowing like crazy! Where are you?

wonderinginIA - Friday, 9 May
I tried all those positions too (ha ha!) :-) Good Luck :-)

MyLilAidan - Friday, 9 May
lol, thats what everyone except my doctor says to me, she keeps telling me if i gain too much weight labour will be much to hard and i will need emergency c-section. I dont know how that makes and scents, but i cannot help but eat! I've always struggled with my weight anyway. It was bound to happen. Although it has encouraged me to loose all my baby weight and then some when baby comes out and i am able to excersize!

wonderinginIA - Friday, 9 May
glad I could be of some help...I try to look at everything in a positive way. Another positive about a c-section baby is that your "goods" aren't wrecked - lol! And your baby won't have a smushed cone head :-) You never know, she could flip at the last minute too!!! My baby was in such a weird position (found that out after he was born) he had no chance in flipping. His legs were bent (at the knees) and his feet were on each side of his butt! Take care and hope everything goes well!

MyLilAidan - Friday, 9 May
no diabetes, OB is just very strict with weight. I'm already up 50lbs.. shes not happy with it, so no more cookies, ice cream, cakes or chocolate.. :(

mommy2boys - Friday, 9 May
Is your little one still breech? Don't worry if they are, there is still time to flip. You can't get too worried until after 37 weeks, and even then it's possible for them to flip. Only 3% of babies don't flip, so it's very rare to stay breech.

I put 3 pillows under my hips, put my feet up on my couch while laying on my back. Don't do it alone because all the blood rushes to your brain and you might get dizzy! Try to stay this way for 15 mins. and have someone help you up when times up. Don't stand, just sit up and rest for a few minutes. By lowering your hips and putting your legs up it's supposed to encourage a baby that wants stay heads up flip over to get heads up. Then when you sit back up, they get stuck head down the way they are supposed to.

Your baby needs a lot of amniotic fluid to flip, so make sure you are hydrated and VERY relaxed. If your uterus is tight and firm your little one will have a difficult time flipping.

Well, hope this info helps, but again I can't guarantee that it is what caused my little guy to flip. It's always worth a try. Good luck!

jillb - Friday, 9 May
Yes, I hope you have the same experience because she's wonderful! :) Sleeping last night was ok, but not great. It would be somewhat more comfortable if my pelvic bone didn't pop every time I rolled over. Does yours do that?

mariela14 - Friday, 9 May
Yeah, well my mom had 8 kids. lol. but she was never able to lose it all after any of them. She had her first at like 20 I think, and on up to when she was 38. I just hope I can lose it all!

amandakaye - Thursday, 8 May
Finally tomorow they are going to pull my tooth out!! There is no saving it so I will have a big gap until I can get a implant tooth put in, but at this point I don't care!! I want this pain to go away so I can get back to life! Bring on labor, my pain tolerance is SO high right now!

MyLilAidan - Thursday, 8 May
i'm so not alowd to eat ice cream.. major bummer! but i tell yah, right now i could go for a scoop of all 33? flavours!! MMmmm.. ice cream!

wonderinginIA - Thursday, 8 May
oh yeah, happy belated Birthday :-)

wonderinginIA - Thursday, 8 May
Hiya dear! My c-section went well. I did a lot of research on the external version and there was too many risks with it. I always say "everything happens for a reason"....so when I found out that I was going to possibly have a c-section I was bumbed b/c my sister in law was due and she had her baby naturally. So I had to mentally prepair myself for it and make sure that I was okay with having a c-section. LOTS of ladies have them! Some do really well and others not so good....I think it's all in mindset - I am a worker, a busybody, a go getter....and I wasn't going to let a c-section slow me down! I was having an ultrasound every week from 34 weeks on, and non-stress tests (NST's) twice a week, up until delivery. We went in to the hospital the morning of Dec. 13th at 5 am to have our last ultrasound to confirm baby was still breech. Which I knew he was (we didn't find out the sex before delivery). So then we went up to the O.B. and took all or our things up to my room and they got me changed and an IV started. They gave me 2 bags of fluid. Did another NST and I was having contractions 5 min. apart!! Then I was wheeled down to the surgery waiting area. I went to the bathroom (and noticed blood) - I was loosing my plug. They said I would have had him that day anyways! Anywho, then they rolled me into the O.R. and that's when I fell apart...I started crying because I was soooo scared! They sat me up on a table and I tried to relax and calm myself down as much as possible. They told me to crouch over and grab onto a staff's shoulder/arm. They put the needle in - I only felt a little poke!!! I had my wisdom teeth pulled and those needles hurt worse I'm tellin ya! So after they got the spinal block done, I had to lay down quickly and my feet instantly got warm and tingly. Then they moved me to the OR table and started to scrub my belly up. They put up the curtain, and brought my husband in. They then starting pinching my belly to see if I could feel anything - nada - nothing at all. So then they started. It was cold in the room, but the mood of the OR staff was great. We were taking bets on what the baby was and how big it was going to be....funny thing is, my guess was a boy - which I though all along, and was going to be 7 lbs. 3 oz. I hit it dead on the nail!!! I didn't lose my breath at all during the surgery...I guess that happens when their pulling the baby out of you. I just tried to stay as calm and as POSITIVE as I could be. When the surgeon had his hand in me trying to get the baby out, my body was rocking and moving around alot and I kind was like "what's going on"! But the anesteologist was at my head and was telling me what was going on the whole proceedure. He also had music playing from his IPOD which was cool too! Then they pulled him out, held him up, my husband stood up and looked and they said "it's a boy!". Then they brought him over to my right to the warmer and to my Dr. and they started to dry him off and look him over - I instantly started crying!!! He had red hair and was sooo tiny! It was such and emotional rush that came over me! Totally undescribable! Then my Dr. took him and my husband up to my OB room while I was cleaned up - they littlerally spray your uterus out - and stitched me up...which took about 45 minutes. From the time surgery started at 7:30, Carson was born at 7:36, and I was in recovery at 8:15. Now in the recovery room is where you want to save all your willpower! As soon as I could wiggle my toes they said I could go up to my OB room (to see my BABY!)...so I tried with all my might and wiggled my toes and moved my legs a little bit too! So they took me upstairs and the rest is history. I was up and walking around that night (slowly!)... they said I was a pretty determined woman and were shocked at how quickly I was recovering! We stayed in the hospital for 4 days. If you have a c-section, keep up on your pain meds....they help alot. When I got home, for the first week I took them regularly...but after that, I managed the pain and only took them when needed....I have 3/4 of the bottle (of 100 pills) left. I bled for a month. It wasn't heavy, but wasn't light either. And since they clean you out, unlike a natural birth where the body has to clean itself out, the bleeding is a little lighter and may not last as long. I also got my period when my baby was 5 weeks....so it was right on schedule (and has been since). Mind you, this is all from my experience/perspective, and my be totally different for you. But all in all, even though I had a c-section, I don't feel like I was cheated in the "delivering" department - I grew the baby for 9 long months, and I ended up with what every other woman has - a newborn baby that was healthy, which is what I prayed for all along. I hope that everything works out for you and don't fear a c-section....their great....I'm not going to try a VBAC w/my next one because my c-section went great! Take care and if you have anymore questions, let me know!

MyLilAidan - Thursday, 8 May
OMG, i want to eat the screen right now! that green icecream loots amazing!!!! im drooooling!!!!

mamadimplez - Thursday, 8 May
I luv that pic of you on your profile...too sweet you look beautiful:)

mariela14 - Thursday, 8 May
Yea, I'm planning on breastfeeding. Formula and all the supplies are so expensive! Hopefully everything goes smoothly for me to be able to breastfeed and not have any problems. Everyone tells me I'll lose it quick when I start but my mom said that's what everyone told her and it didn't work for her! (She's kind of depressing sometimes.) lol.

jillb - Thursday, 8 May
Yes, you are right. Bond all you can with that sweet baby, then think about the wedding. You can always get married but the first few years are so wonderful to get close with your child. My daughter was a very good baby, GREAT sleeper/napper. And now she's a total angel, seriously. She's so thoughtful. Today at school, she gave her cot to another little girl because the other little girl's cot was coming apart (and she was crying). The teacher told my husband, when he picked her up, that she does something thoughtful every day. But today, she got so emotional when she saw her do that. I melted!!! I hope this little boy is just as sweet. And yes, I think 4 years will be a great difference for us. They will be 4 years and about 3 months. Well, I am headed to bed. I am tired tonight and need to prop my feet up. They are swollen, and these days, that's the story of my life :) lol...g'night!

jillb - Thursday, 8 May
Yes, I think you are right about the wedding. After having my daughter, which was vaginally with easy labor, delivery and recovery, I wouldn't have even been able to contemplate planning a wedding for at least 6 months (and that's pushing it). This is just advice, but I would wait and see how it goes for you. But I think getting married anytime this year would be way too stressful for you. You deserve to have time with your little one then see how the wedding goes. You want to give equal amounts of time to each :) Anyway, I am sure it will be great whenever it happens :) And yes, my 4-year old, is SUPER excited about her brother. We have literally been telling her a baby is coming since last June (when I got pregnant the first time), so she has no reason to believe a baby will actually be here soon, except for my BIG belly.

mariela14 - Thursday, 8 May
I sure hope so! My mom was never able to lose hers. I will feel like a big blob if I can't lose it. I don't know where it all went now, but I'm sure I"ll be able to see it once the baby isn't there anymore to hide anything! I'll really have to lay off the sweets for a while.

shortstuff - Thursday, 8 May
In my childbirth class yesterday she was talking about where the make the cut. She said it's a bikini cut and most of the time you can't see it after it heals. The good part about a c-section is you can plan it.

shortstuff - Thursday, 8 May
I'm glad you didn't have to deal with the drama of cobra!!! Do they think she will turn soon??? I know they can turn the baby ...but I heard that hurts really bad. I can get comfy at night and if I sit to long my back hurts. My sister says the baby is kicking my a@#!!! It's true sometimes I feel like she beat me up.

mariela14 - Thursday, 8 May
yea..i don't really look like it either. i really don't know where it's all hiding but it's 50 officially as of today
