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!!!!

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.

busybeemom - Tuesday, 22 July
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

BoyStruckX2 - Friday, 18 July
Don't let the sweet faces be deceiving...lol they are lil turds as well :) Rotten turds at that lol

Rebekahs-mama - Friday, 18 July
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

YOU HAVE A VERY BEAUTIFUL FAMILY CONGRATS

Rebekahs-mama - Thursday, 17 July
Oh my goodness, that video was SOOOOOOOOOO cute! I had to show Kevin because it's so amazing to me when babies start getting around like that. Oh, and her hair has grown so much longer, too! What a little doll! Hopefully she's sleeping well for you right now!

BoyStruckX2 - Thursday, 17 July
her hair is cracking me up. She is beautiful :)

Rebekahs-mama - Wednesday, 16 July
Hi! YAY for the video! I can't wait to see her comando style! lol! And yay for the $$$ too! Hopefully it'll be a nice big return for you. Maybe you can use it as a downpayment for a car! lol!

How scary about your dad. I can see why they test him so often. How many times have they found tumors? I assume they have to operate right away. My goodness, that must be tough. Stupid cigarettes! My dad smoked for over 40 years and now he suffers form chronic emphezema. So crappy! I'm very thankful no one else in my family smokes!

I uploaded a new video and in the second part Bekah is playing with her table. You should check it out when you have time. It's at the bottom of my page.

So Ally slept with you last night! I bet it was terrible! But she slept so peacefully, though, didn't she! The little stinker! lol! I know, Bekah moves all around her crib. It seems like she's in a different position every time I check on her.

Anyhow, I need to finish making my dinner. I'm so hungry! Kiss Ally for me and I look forward to seeing her video! xoxoxoxox Amanda

Rebekahs-mama - Wednesday, 16 July
Hi! I just wanted to write really quick and let you know that Bekah popped her first tooth today! YAY! She won't open her mouth and let me see it but I can feel it with my finger. It's her bottom left. Hehehehee! How fun!

Rebekahs-mama - Tuesday, 15 July
Awwwwww, poor little sweetheart! It sounds like you're right since she immediately calms down when she's in bed with you. I wonder what you do can to get her calm otherwise...because I know you don't want her in bed with you! At least not forever! lol!

YAAAAYYYYYY for Michael getting his raise! I'm sorry it wasn't as much as you were hoping for and it's too bad he has to move to another station, but at least it's closer and the pay is still higher! And hey, it's amost an extra $40 a week, which I'm sure will come in handy!

I'd love to see a video of Ally crawling and walking in her walker! I bet she's adorable! I propped Bekah up on her Leapfrog table this morning and she went nuts! She just needs to learn to keep hanging on so she doesn't fall over! hehehehe!

It is disgusting that some women choose to abort because their tests come back positive for Down's! YUCK, I think it's disgusting that anyone chooses to abort. I don't know what I'd do if I ever had an ectopic pregnancy and was forced to abort. That would be utterly devistating to me. Did you know that babies feel pain at only 6 weeks!!!

So you do your taxes at this time of the year? I find it so interesting how different our countries are with things. Ours all have to be done by April 15th. Of course, we always do ours asap so we get them over and done with...and then we get our return faster, too! lol! Did he get them done enough to know if you have some money coming or not?

Oh, and just to let you know, I prayed for your dad. When will he have the results? Today? I'd hate to have to wait for something like that. Does cancer run in your family? Is that why he has to have this test done so often?

Anyhow, Kevin should be home soon, so I guess I better get lunch going. I'll check in later to see how you're doing. Kisses and hugs to you and Ally! xoxoxox Amanda

Rebekahs-mama - Monday, 14 July
Hi! My appointment went wonderfully! The baby's heartbeat was so strong and loud. My doc found it right away, which was a huge relief! YAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

I can't believe how overpriced your teething tablets are! My goodness, that's crazy! I can definitely see why you refuse to buy them unless absolutely necessary. How has Ally been the last couple days? Has her tooth officially popped?

Ooooohhhhhh I so hope Michael gets his raise. I'll be praying it will go through for you. Then maybe one of us can get a newer car sometime soon! lol!

So Ally has a walker? Does she know how to move around in it yet? Bekah's only just now learning that she can turn her seat around in the exersaucer. The silly goose tries to stretch all the way around and sometimes the seat finally turns by default! hehehe! Der!

Yeah, I know they test for Down's syndrome at some point. I think it's probably at my next appointment. We went ahead and did it the last time just because we would want to be as prepared as possible if it were to be positive. I'm sure there are a lot more medical things you'd need to have.

How stinking cute that Ally was blowing everyone at the store her raspberries! Bekah gets in these fits, too. ALthough she's usually in the car and blowing them to her carseat toys! Oh, and LMAO about the cat and the tail pulling. I laughed so hard that Kevin had to know what was going on. He thought it was pretty funny, too. I'm sure the cat felt differently about the whole thing! lol!

So is Ally officially crawling, then? I know you said she's a fast mover but is it scooting or rolling or crawling? She must keep you on your toes quite a bit more!

Anyhow, I really need to write a couple more friends to let them know my appointment was great. Hugs and kisses to you and Ally! xoxoxoxox Amanda

Rebekahs-mama - Sunday, 13 July
Oh poor Ally! I bet her teeth must really be bothering her. Didn't you say the teething tablets are expensive there? Because they're only like $2 for a bottle of 30 here, which is super cheap.

My day was nice yesterday. We didn't really do much of anything except go to the mall for a while in the afternoon. I really felt like getting out and walking but it was rainy, so we went to the mall to walk and window shop. We found a shop that has a 12 month girl's shirt that says big sisters rock on it so we'll have to go back and nab it the next time we have some cash. That'll be so cute for her to wear after the baby's born! lol!

I hated feeling guilty when I missed a day or two of walking. Just take it easy as it can be really hard to start up. As your body gets used to it then you'll have a lot more stamina to go farther. I remember when I first started walking and Kevin and I chose the hilly street. By the time we got home 20 minutes later I was practically puking! Now I can walk it without hardly losing my breath, which is so nice.

Oh yeah, and drink lots of water, too, like you said! lol!

Thanks for the compliments on my new pic and video. She's been in such a goofy mood lately that it's hard not to laugh at her all the time. She makes all these super loud noises and then turns and looks at me to see if I was paying attention. It's so cute!

I've been much more relaxed about my doctor's appointment. I just feel like everything is really ok. I don't know if I finally just accepted this truth from God or if your words and the words of another friend are just that powerful of encouragement! hehehe! Thank you so much for being the perfect listener when I freak out on you!

So you're back in the same boat about the car thing, huh? Arg, so are we. Kevin really doesn't want to go to this wedding in a couple weeks and he said yesterday, "Maybe the car will break down and we just won't make it." I was like NOOOOO we need it to last! hehe!

I'm surprised some of the 6 month clothes are still too big on Ally. They must run bigger than they say or something. I've noticed a fairly big difference in some brands, have you?

No, unfortunatley I won't get another ultrasound unless my doc can't find the heartbeat with the fetal doppler...which I hope isn't the case so I don't freak out. So assuming all goes perfectly tomorrow then I won't see my baby again until my big scan at 20 weeks when we find out the sex. That's ok, though. As long as the heartbeat is good and strong then I don't really mind the wait.

Well I suppose I need to start getting ready for church. I'll write more later! Kisses to you and Ally! xoxoxox Amanda

Rebekahs-mama - Saturday, 12 July
Hey again! I uploaded a new video to my page. You should check it out when you have time! xoxoxox

Rebekahs-mama - Saturday, 12 July
My goodness, you must be busy this week! I hope things are going okay for you. I've missed our daily messages! lol! Sorry about the freakout in my last post. I'm feeling much more at ease today. Only two more full days to get through and then I can finally see my doc. I'll let you know how things go. Kisses to you and Ally! xoxoxoxox Amanda

Rebekahs-mama - Friday, 11 July
Oh my goodness, another lady that was due in my week suffered a loss. I'm beginning to think this website is going to drive me crazy with worry! I have to wait until Monday for my appointment but I'm soooooooo paranoid that something will be wrong. I keep praying to God for reassurance and He keeps sending it...but for some reason I disreguard it every time I see another loss. What the heck's wrong with me???
