Ok so here's my story, about 7 or 8 months ago now I got diagnosed with PCOS, after finding this out my husband and I decided to stat trying to conceive with the help of clomid. I concieved after my third cycle and hubby and I feel like we are both completely blessed. We have been married a little over a year and have been together for 8 1/2 years, he is the most beautiful, caring person I have ever met and I feel truly blessed to have him as my life partner. Now we are sharing this beautiful journey together and couldn't be happier.

My ultrasound at 12 weeks showed that everything was perfect, my little bub is so beautiful and I have never loved someone so much.

I started feeling my baby move at 15 weeks, and bub's just getting stronger and stronger, it's so incredibly amazing.

I have my next ultrasound on the 7th of August, and I am finding out the sex but hubby isn't he wants a surprise, he's stronger than I am, lol.

08-08-07

Ok well I had my scan yesterday and I have a perfect little GIRL!! Just as I thought. She was beautiful and perfect of course. She was kicking and wiggling and she waved at us it was wonderful.

23-08-07

Well for the last few days bub has been kicking a bit harder and if I'm quick I'm able to feel her on the outside of my tummy.

02-12-07

Ok well I haven't updated my page for ages because for some reason the computer wouldn't let me. Well less than four weeks to go and I feel huge!! lol. I'm starting to get really excited but really nervous to. The hospital I'm going to don't do epidurals unless you're really really not coping, so I'm a bit scared, lol.

I had an ultrasound the other week and my little angel was weighing in at a little over 5 pounds, so my guess is she will be 7-7.5 pounds.

Hubby and I have finished our birthing classes now, I have to be honest and say that they didn't tell me all that much that I didn't already know.

Well summer has officially hit here and it's getting hot!!!!! I can't believe how swollen my ankles are now, well I'm not actually sure if I have any anymore, lol.

I can't believe how time flies, when I first got pregnant everyone used to tell me that it was going to seem like it was taking for ever, but it hasn't it's gone so quickly and I'm loving every minute of it, except when bub is quiet!!!! I like it when she's a little hyper bean, lets me know she's ok in there, lol.

Latly people have been telling me that they think I will go early because my belly has dropped but I don't know, either way I'm quite happy to wait until she's ready to come.

29-12-07

Well here I still am 1 day past my due date!! It's getting really hot here which is making me cranky and uncomfortable, but I would rather hot weather than cold.

I'm so ready to meet my little bub now, I just wish she would hurry up, lol. I'm so tired now, not that that will change when she arrives, lol.

Still can't really decide on a name so I've just decided to wait and meet her first.

11-01-08

Well it happened! Alice-Ann born 7th of Jan, 7lbs 12oz. Seriously I found labor to be very traumatic for me. My waters broke at 5.30am and I was at the hospital by 6.30am and pushing by about 7.30am. Alice was in the a deflexed sunnyside up position which made it impossible for me to push her out without the help of the vacume. The doc and midwife didn't pick up that she was in the wrong position until the end, thats why so many hours of pushing!! The cord snapped so the doc put his hand in to get placenta due to a big hemerage, I had a server 3rd degree tear which landed me in surgery, I lost a total of 1.5 lts of blood. Oh by the way my labor progressed so quickly went from 4cms to 10 in an hour, that I wasn't able to get pain relief!!!!

BUT Alice-Ann is the light of my life and all that pain was worth going through for her!!

Above is Ally as she was placed on my belly.

Skin on skin, how lovely!!! This was after my surgery. Oh and yes I know, I look shocking but that's what an intense labor and surgery afterwards will do to you!!!!

This is a classic photo!! 'It's to loud'!!!! hehehe this was taken when we were still in the hospital.

Ally's very first bath!!!

19.02.08

Well Alice-Ann is 6 weeks old now and things are starting to get easier and i feel less tired, well I don't know if I feel less tired or my body has just adapted to the lack of sleep! lol.

So the whole breastfeeding thing didn't work out, Ally just wouldn't latch on unless we were in the shower together, and I just wasn't producing enough milk to continue expressing. Oh well Ally's healthy and that's the most important thing.

Ally smiles and chuckles now which is really great, she certainly knows how to melt my heart and her daddy's. She's really good at holding her head up, but she's been able to do that since she was about a week old, the health center nurse says shes very advanced and that she acts as though she's about 2 weeks older than she actually is.

We're slowly getting into a routine now some nights I get a solid 4 hours then a quick half hour feed and back to bed, once I got 5 1/2 hours, I'm hoping that happens again, lol. I have to say that now I really enjoy night feeds, it's our special time together, she's very relaxed and doesn't usually cry she just looks at me while eating and then goes off to sleep. As for during the days, she's been unsettled lately and will only sleep in her swing during the day. I love her so much, words can't even describe it, I just truly love her to bits.

I Never Knew

I never knew I could love so much,
until the day I felt your touch.
I softly kissed your tiny cheek,
and from under your lashes I saw you peek.
Your beautiful eyes so small and blue,
my sweet little baby just brand new.
I cannot wait to watch you grow,
from your little head to your tiny toes.
My daughter my love, my little joy,
my little angel, my baby doll toy.
I promise to love you with all my heart,
I'm hear for you from the very start.
I'll comfort you when you cry,
I'll answer true when you ask me, Why?
While you grow be sweet and kind,
and show all others how much you shine.

13-03-08

Well I haven't updated for a while, I've been to sleep deprived to even bother, lol.

Ally's growing like a weed, a very beautiful weed!!!!! I can't believe that it was 9 1/2 weeks ago that I gave birth, time goes by so quickly, I'm trying to cherish every moment because before I know it she'll be off to school and I'll wonder what ever happened to my squigy smoodgy little baby girl!!!!

Well not a great deal has changed since my last post, I have Ally in a routine now which can be hard to hold down some days, but I am trying and that's the main thing. I really hope she starts sleeping a little more through the night, I'm not asking for a lot just a little. She seems to have done a turn around, I used to get her to have a 6 hour stretch at night but now she barley makes 3!!!! I'm so tired, but I do forget that when I look at her beautiful little smile!! She's started to scream with delight today, it was wonderful to listen to, so cute.

I decided to make people Easter photos instead of buying chocolate!!!

Notice my blood shot eye..... Sleep deprivation is attractive isn't it!!!!! Hehehehe

14-03-08

Well I didn't think I would be writing this post so soon but Ally slept a 6 1/2 hour block last night, woooohooooo, I ended up getting around 9 hours in total, YIPPEE!!! And my attractive blood shot eye is pretty much clear again. Wow I really hope she keeps on sleeping like this, I mean even if she wanted to sleep more, that would be ok with me to, hehehehe.

Well I got my period back today, geee it's weird, I haven't had it since this time last year!!!! At least now I will be able to keep track of what my body is doing.

Mother's Heart

I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
Our life together has just begun,
You're part of me my little one.
As mother with child, each day I grew,
My mind was filled with thoughts of you.
I'd daydream of the things we'd share,
Like late-night bottles and Teddy bears.
Like first steps and skinned knees,
Like bedtime stories and ABC's.
I thought of things you'd want to know,
Like how birds fly and flowers grow.
I thought of lessons I'd need to share,
Like standing tall and playing fair.
When I first saw your precious face,
I prayed your life be touched with grace.
I thanked the angels from above,
And promised you unending love.
Each night I lay you down to sleep
, I gently kiss your head and cheek.
I count your little fingers and toes;
I memorize your eyes and nose.
I linger at your nursery door,
Awed each day I love you more.
Through misty eyes, I dim the light,
I whisper, 'I love you' every night.
I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
As mother and child our journeys begin,
My heart's yours forever little one.

My sleeping Princess!! Can you tell it's hot here by the way she's sleeping, hehehe.

22-03-08

Well we finally got our cool change and it's just wonderful!! Ally can snuggle up at night time which I'm sure helps her sleep a little better. I can't believe how fast she's growing!! She has the cutest little rolls of fat on her legs, hehehe.

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL!!!!

Mummy brushed my hair so it stays down!! hehehe

27-03-08

Well Ally rolled from her tummy to her back today!!!! It was so exciting!!! She just looked at me like she had no idea what had happened, hehehehe.

Well Ally's sleeping is still all over the place so I'm going to be trying her on a little bit of rice cereal to see if that will help. I know a lot of people are against giving babies as young as Ally anything like this but I'm at a loss as why she's not sleeping much. I've tried everything, I've even increased her volume of formula and it didn't seem to make a difference, so I don't think that her formula is sustaining her. Oh well I will see if the rice works or not.

My beautiful little princess.

28-03-08

I picked up my photos today, some I had to make a bit smaller to get them on here so they don't look as good. I'm so happy with the way they turned out. Oh tried the rice cereal last night, didn't make a difference, but it might take a few nights so we'll see.

Check out her little tongue, hehehe

04-04-08

Well I have had the worst week!!!! Michael was in a work accident and is not allowed to walk for 12 weeks. But the worst is behind us now. It was so horrible watching the love of my life in intensive care, I never want to relive that moment. My Mum has been here helping me with Ally which has been a great help, seeing though I don't really trust anyone else to look after her. I love my Mum so much, I hope Ally grows to have the same love for me!!!!

On a positive note Ally has been loving her rice cereal and today she had it with applesauce. I know some people think feeding this young is a big no no but her bottle just wasn't sustaining her and she has taken to the rice really well.

Gran did Ally's hair, hehehehe

Visiting Daddy in hospital.

My little cutie pie!!

06-06-08

Ok well I haven't updated my page in a while.......I have no excuse other than I've been slack!!!

Ally will be 5 months old tomorrow, geee I can't believe how fast time flys!!!! I am getting a decent amount of sleep at night now, I would probably get even more if dummies/pacis we're never invented!!!!!

Now we're on hopefully the short road to trying for #2, I'm glad we're only having 2, I'm just now remembering how stressful it is trying to conceive not to mention the hard work!!!! But with God's help I'm sure we will succeed very soon!!!!

Rebekahs-mama - 37.6 hours ago
Well, we made it! YAY! Thanks so much for your prayers. The hotel has free WIFI so I figured I'd write really quick and vent about my horrible day so far.

The drive up was smooth sailing, thank God. We made it in just about 6 hours which is really good. We only had to stop once to pee, which helped a lot. Bekah slept the whole way, too. But since we got here I've only had a total of 1 & 1/2 hours of sleep. I'm feeling exhausted and have been terribly grumpy at Kevin. Bekah refused to sleep in her pack n play this morning and skipped her nap altogether. Figures since we really needed to sleep! So we took her back out to the car where the stinker fell immediately asleep. It's not like we can sleep in the car with her! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! So we came back into the hotel and she screamed for another hour or so before I finally got her to sleep. Mind you she had already cried for 3 hours this morning. Actually, cried is an understatement...it was more like blood curdling screams! I was about to pull out my hair. In fact, I may be all gray by the time we leave this weekend!

Getting back to me being grumpy with Kevin. I totally bit his head off more than once. I'm normally not like that at all and it was terrible. He doesn't really want to be around me at the moment, which I can understand. He has more patience than anyone I know, so you know I was a total b**ch. I'm not exactly sure what to do now other than apologize for the tenth time. I feel so guilty and I just want things to be normal and good like they usually are.

Oh, and to top things off, we have the wedding rehearsal in less than 2 hours and all I can think about is that I'm here for my best friend's wedding and I haven't even seen her yet. I'm supposed to be throwing her a bachelorette party tonight and I am completely broke...I mean so broke that I'm not sure if we'll have enough money to eat while we're here. All I wanted was to throw her a fantastic party with some junk food and girly fun and I've blown it.

Can you tell I'm having a pity party? lol! I'm actually in tears as I write this because things just aren't working out like I prayed they would. I'm so sorry to throw it all on you but I really needed someone to talk to. You know me, I usually always look on the bright side. But for some reason (probably the hormones?) I'm feeling pretty crappy today. Oh, and I totally barfed this morning for the first time. No more bagels with cream cheese for me! Icing on the cake, huh?

Well, this note went downhill pretty fast. You've been a dear to listen to my venting. Now I need to go put on some make-up and pray my bloodshot eyes won't be too creepy for dinner tonight!

Kisses to you and Ally. Love you much! xoxox Amanda

Rebekahs-mama - Friday, 25 July
Oh yeah, and all the things from Smilebox are super cute! I loved looking through your wedding pictures. I can't get over how awesome it is that you wore blue! It's stunning!

Yeah, I think I'd probably crap my pants if I saw a kangaroo that close. Even if they weren't threatening in any way. It still startles you. Like the other morning when I went in to the kitchen and a mouse ran across the floor. I squealed like a teenager! Like a mouse is a scary thing! hehehe! Just startled me, ya know? Let's just say we put some poison out right away. Pretty sad that we have to keep it on hand. The stupid things get in any way they can!

I tried getting a video of Bekah doing her breathing thing but you can't hear it...which defeats the whole purpose. It really stinks because it's soooooo funny!

So can Ally put her paci back in her mouth yet? Boy, that would be a life saver, wouldn't it? lol!

I'm sure your scales are right. Don't fret!! I bet you'll go and find out you've lost a ton so far!!

How did Ally do at Babyroo today? I bet it was a lot of fun sharing it with Michael. It's nice he was able to go.

Sounds like you're finally going to have a chance to get a newer car, which will be wonderful. I wish so bad that another job would come along for Kevin. If he had another steady income, even a small one, then we would go right out and get a newer car for ourselves. This car has been faithful to us so far but the poor thing has just had it. I'm just hoping she'll give us one more good trip this weekend! hehehe!

I'll be sure to post a new blog with the wedding pics. I can't wait to take them. I have the prettiest frilly pink dress for Bekah to wear. But it stinks because her feet never grew into the little sandals I bought for her to wear. They're still waaaaayyyy to big. I thought for sure that size 2 would be right. Oh well...at least they only cost $1 at a yard sale. Oh, and let's hope she keeps her bow on her head for the pics. She finally realized they were up there and now she pulls them off almost immediately. It's annoying because she's still almost bald and she needs the girly touch!! hehehe! Although I don't think anyone will confuse her in her pink dress! lol!

My goodness, I'm so chatty.

I guess I should leave you alone for a while...how about a weekend? lol! Have fun this weekend. Kisses to you and Ally and thanks for your prayers about the car situation! xoxoxox Amanda

Rebekahs-mama - Friday, 25 July
Well, I think I'm finally all set to go. Just waiting on Kevin to get home from work. It took me 2 hours to pack!!! AHHHHH!!! Hopefully I'll be able to sleep in the car because I'm already feeling the exhaustion.

How's Ally been today? And you? Your new family photo is soooooo nice. I really can't wait to have ours done again. It makes me want to go do another right away. Too bad we're broke as usual.

I just realized you wrote me a message earlier...I think. My brain's kinds fried at the moment. I'm going to go read it and reply properly! lol!

Rebekahs-mama - Thursday, 24 July
I posted a 14 week belly pic in my blog on my page!!! Looks the same to me, though. Oh well!!!

2ndbabybump - Thursday, 24 July
hey hows everything??

Rebekahs-mama - Wednesday, 23 July
Lol! It seems like Ally has her good days and her bad, just like Bekah. Just when you think you've solved why they do they things they do, then they do them again! It can be so frustrating. I hear you about the talking thing. At least then they can tell us why they're crying and not going to sleep!

How freaking cool about the kangaroos! I can't imagine that happening for real. I've only ever seen them at the zoo! hehehe! Can they be mean? Or were you just startled that they were there?

Oh, and I was laughing at the tongue thing Ally's been doing. Bekah did that a few weeks ago. She just kept sticking it out of her mouth for no reason. I guess she must have just realized it was in there! This week she's been doing something just as silly. Apparently she's discovered she can also breath through her nose. So she wrinkles up her face and breathes in and out through her nose really hard. It's hilarious! And she gets a kick out of it when people do it back to her. I really should try and get it on video. Kevin and I have been laughing almost non-stop when she's awake!

Mmmmmmmmmmmm! Black forest chocolate cake! That's sounds crazy delicious. I don't know how you've been able to keep from chowing the whole thing down. Good for you!!! You have more resistance than I would!

Well, apparently I spoke too soon because Bekah slept in until 7:30 this am. Sooooooo nice! At one point I even checked on her because I was wondering why she wasn't up at 5! lol!

I can't wait to see your new photo. I bet it's lovely. As soon as Bekah gets her second tooth we're going in for some more pictures. Just of her this time as we plan to have a nice family photo done at Christmas time when I have a big belly. Then of course we'll do another after the new baby comes.

Well, our car died in the parking lot today. We just couldn't get it going and I had an appointment to pick up the dress for the wedding. So I huffed it down the block to the dress shop while Kevin worked on the car. Thankfully he got it going well enough to get us home without a problem. I really don't know how the car's going to make it up to the wedding and back. We'll just have to keep praying it does.

Speaking of which, I guess we decided we're going to leave tomorrow night when Kevin gets home from work. That way we can drive all night while Bekah sleeps. It will be much cooler, too, since our air is broken in the car. It was 99 degrees today and we were nearly melting right into our seats! I felt terrible for Bekah. We paid $100 to have our A/C fixed last summer because we knew we had a baby on the way and it didn't even last to work after she was born. How sad is that? ARG!

Anyhow, I need to write a couple more people really quick before Bekah wakes. I hope your day is going well. Love you much! xoxoxox Amanda

Rebekahs-mama - Wednesday, 23 July
YAAAAAAYYYYYYY Go Ally!!! Woohooo! You must feel so rested! Bekah's still getting up at 5 am almost every morning. But I still feed her and put her right back to bed. It's just way too early! And I'm still mean and turn off the monitor so if she cries I can't hear her! lol! I need my sleep to get through the day!!!

Yeah, I really think it's another tooth. Her gums are so white and stretched thin right by her tooth that came in. I really wouldn't be suprised if that second one popped any day now. I just keep giving her those teething tablets. They really work well!

How nice that your tummy never got bloated this month. I bet it's because you're eating healthier and your stomach muscles are tightening. How fantastic! I'm really rooting for you to lose the weight. I know how hard a journey it can be and I'm not looking forward to working at it again. But I definitely will because I made a promise to myself that I'd never be hugely obese again!

Yeah, and hopefully you will be gaining weight next year because of a new bean! That would be wonderful! YAAAYYYYY! I smile at the thought!

I don't know how they breath in their cribs like that either. There have been so many times when I've found Bekah either face down or face buried into her bumper pad. But she's still breathing, thank God. It can really freak me out sometimes.

Well, I really need to get some things done, so I better end here. Hugs and kisses to you both. xoxoxox Amanda

*my angels* - Tuesday, 22 July
Thanks for all that info gives me hope!!I am feeling like my body is failing me it has been a very frustraiting few months but now i guess i know what im dealing with its lifted a weight off my shoulders. I do have PCOS i had the scan and the bloods back, i have alot of cycts in my ovaries and my bloods showed testostrone in my hormones. I guess my doctor will help me to decide which is best for me i hope that i am blessed like you and conceive within the first few months :) will keep you updated. How is it going with you TTc? That is really good that you are ovulating do you think you might have beaten PCOS? HAve you lost any weight? I am definatly going to try and lose 10kg! I think that will help alot. Its hard to lose weight though i find i dont eat alot or bad things but the weight sticks and takes a very stricked low carb diet to get off i am very tired so i need my carbs but ahh well i want a baby more :)

take care keep in touch

Rebekahs-mama - Tuesday, 22 July
Hi! I vowed I was going to write you today before doing anything else. It seems I finally have a bit of time to myself! lol! I was going to write last night but for some reason Bekah refused to settle down for sleep until after 9:30! I don't know if she was pulling an Ally and feeling a little seperation anxiety or what.

Yeah, I think we just need to get a couple baby gates and some outlet covers and then we'll be officially baby proofed. We're going to have to teach her not to touch certain things, of course...like the TV! We're just not going to let her get into certain rooms, so we won't have to worry about them at all.

It sounds like you're doing great on your dieting and excersize. That's wonderful because I know how hard it can be to do during the winter months. I hit a plateau during the winter when I was losing all the weight. It was so frustrating because all I wanted to do was exersize more but the weather was so cold and crappy. Well, I'll be in your shoes next year. I know I'll have to take it easy because I'll be nursing the new baby, but I really really really want to get back on the downward slope of weight loss. I'm sick of going up! lol! Even if it's because of a baby!

So did your brother's ex find out anything yet?

Babyroo sounds so awesome! I bet it wore her right out. Bekah would love that, although it sounds like Ally would have an advantage seeing as she's crawling. I'm sure that's a lot of what makes it so fun for her. We would love to do things like that with Bekah but as far as we know there isn't anything like that offered around here. Oh well.

Anyhow, I heard a wail a moment ago, so I'm sure Bekah will be ready to come out of her crib in a moment. I hope your weekend went well. Hugs and kisses to you and Ally. xoxoxoxox Amanda

Hey, Thanks so much for dropping me a note on my page. Yes, I had my daughter Elsa and I love being a mom. It is the most amazing journey that I have ever been on. I love it. Every day Elsa surprises me with something new. I was checking out the pictures on your page and your daughter is beautiful. Take care and much baby dust.

I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes! To all my ladies that sent the e cards, after I was done laughing it brought a tear to my eye!!! Hugs to all!

Rebekahs-mama - Monday, 21 July
I am soooo exhausted, so I'll write more in the morning. We've been gone for more than 12 hours today and my bed is beckoning! lol! But I just wanted to stop in really quickly and tell you how adorable your new slideshow and book are. But of course you already new that since Ally's so stinkin' adorable!!! hehehe! I'll reply to your post in the morning. xoxoxoxoxoxox Aunty Amanda

Rebekahs-mama - Friday, 18 July
Hi! I finally have a moment to reply! How's your day going? Oh wait, I guess it's not really going yet! lol! Hopefully Ally's still sleeping!

Yeah, Smilebox is really cool. That book was all premade, I just filled in the pictures and comments. I think it took me 20 minutes to make!

So I bet you had to go around and babyproof, huh? Is it harder than you thought to keep Ally out of things? I'm just wondering how much I need to do. Have you found anything to be an "absolute" in terms of making sure it's safe?

Babyroo sounds interesting. How did it turn out? What types of things do you do in a class like that? Did Ally seem to like it?

Oh and YAAAAAYYYYYYYYY for Michael's job! That's so amazing and wonderful! It'll save him so much on gas and on time, too. And can you and Ally stop in and have lunch with him since he's so close? Things like that make the days seem so much less lonely, don't you think?

How nice of your uncle to give you the rocking chair. We don't have one but have often thought about how it would be great. We have a porch swing that Bekah loves to sit in with me. I bet it would be very similar in terms of soothing her. It seems like she always settles the moment we go out and swing.

I hope Ally starts sleeping through, too. I don't know why she's having such a hard time of it. Poor girl. Has her tooth popped, yet? Maybe her gums are bothering her afterall. Or maybe it's that aweful seperation axiety like you said. It's SOOO hard to leave them in their crib when they cry like their dying, isn't it? I have almost cried a couple times because I feel so bad.

Yeah, Bekah's had several bites of my cherry yogurt and she loves it too. What kinds have you tried with Ally?

Your weight loss is incredible! How freaking exciting!!!!!! Do you think it's the pills or the exercise or the dieting...or is it definitely all combined? How have you been doing with the diet and exercise? Are you doing well everyday? I'm trying to get back out and walk everyday since I've already gained 3 lbs and my doctor is getting on my case about not gaining too much. I can tell I gained quite a bit in between pregnancies because my arms look bigger to me and the maternity pants I wore just last year don't fit in the waist. ARG! How annoying! I know I can't diet per say, but I need to lay off the junk food! Plus, I was getting so much more exercise when I was on my feet and working all day last year. I kind of miss that "perk" of the job. It kept me so in shape. I just don't want to be huge like I used to be. It was so hard to get all that weight off. I can't wait to see how much weight you've lost by the time you see your doc!

Nope, I haven't felt the bean yet. At least, I dont think I have. Sometimes I get this weird feeling in my lower tummy, but I'm not sure if it's the baby or just my muscles stretching while I digest. I can't wait to feel the first real pokes!

Anyhow, I've gone on forever. This is definitely one of my longer notes and I apologize! lol! Kisses to you and Ally! xoxoxox Amanda

Hey! How's your day going? Mine was slow, which was nice. I put Bekah to bed an hour ago and I can still hear her playing in her crib! Silly goose! How's Ally? I bet she keeps you on your toes a lot more now that she's all over the place. I know my day's coming!

Well, I only had a sec to write. I have to put some more things on ebay for my sis-in-law. I'm kind of dragging my feet! lol! But at least they're paying me this time!

Well, I'll check in later if I have time. Kisses to you and Ally! xoxoxox Amanda
