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 - Thursday, 3 July
lol! What was Ally up to after she got quiet? Had she crawled away and gotten into something? hehehehe! And how did she sleep yesterday?

I laughed at you about the McDonald's. You sound so much like me! hahahaha!

My goodness, your photographer is pricey. I can see why you'd just take the free one!

Oh, and I did notice the "our" in your sentence. I laughed about that, too. I keep catching myself wanting to call it my little Abby but then I remember I don't know the sex yet. I think I'm truly going to be shocked if it's really a Noah! hehehe!

Well, we helped my brother-in-law and his wife move again today. Let me tell you, it sucked the big one! They've moved 3 times in just over a year and I feel like saying no whenever they ask for our help. I'm sure that's really a mean thing to think, but I just feel like they need to find a decent place and land. Geez, it's got to be hard on their kids!

I wanted to get into the pool so badly today but now that I'm finally home and Bekah's finally in her bed for a proper nap, I just feel too lazy to go out there. Plus the thought of going in alone seems so sad to me. My friend is coming over tomorrow night, so hopefully we can enjoy a nice dip in the pool together.

Oh, I had the worst nightmare last night. It was totally a pregnancy nightmare...I hate them so much! I dreamt that there were these old men who didn't think babies should cry. Whenever a baby would cry they would grab them and pound a nail into the back of the baby's head and into their forhead and then hang them by the nails! I woke up in tears and didn't want to go back to sleep after that. Unfortunately it was only 5 am. Of all the days for Bekah to sleep an extra hour, this one was the worst. All I wanted to do was to hold her! Ahhhhhhhhh, I hate pregnancy dreams!!!

Well, I guess I should go get some things done while Bekah sleeps. I hope your day is going well. Kiss Ally for me and keep a kiss for yourself, too. xoxox Amanda

Rebekahs-mama - Wednesday, 2 July
Ugh, I SOOOO know what you mean about horrible sleep. Last night Bekah decided to wake at 11 pm, right after I went to bed. Then she woke again at 5:30 am, the same time she's been waking for more than a week. I was so exhausted that I just fed her and put her back to bed. I really thought about leaving her to cry this morning but since we have someone staying with us, I didn't want to disturb him. At least she seemed to go right back to sleep. Hopefully adding the bottle today will help her sleep better tonight. The poor girl was so sleepy after I gave her the pain meds for her shots.

So do you have any idea why Ally is having such a hard time getting to sleep? I read today that many babies at this age start going nuts with seperation anxiety. Do you think that has anything to do with it?

Oh, Bekah LOVED the pool. She wasn't quite sure about it at first, but after a few minutes she started splashing with her hands. When the splashes got bigger and she started spraying herself in the face, then she started giggling. It was the cutest thing and I was laughing so hard right with her. I wished Kevin was here to take some pictures. I guess we'll have to wait until next time.

Are you going to get some pictures of Ally, or just the family photo? I was thinking about getting a naked baby picture of Bekah in a bath tub at the photo studio. My niece and nephew both got theirs done at about 6 months and they came out adorable.

Oh yeah, I just read your post again...I'm feeling fine this week. Last week was a bit rough with the nausea but it's been much milder this week. I'm just so tired a lot of the time. But I'm sure it will pass in the next couple weeks when I reach my second trimester. Can you believe how quickly the time is going by? It feels crazy to me to think I'm so close to being in the second trimester already!

Well, let me know how your doctor's appointment goes. Hopefully everything comes back perfectly and you can get started. You need to lose some pounds for me, too, ok? lol! Kevin just got home early from work, so I guess I should be done for now. Hugs and kisses! xoxox Amanda

Rebekahs-mama - Wednesday, 2 July
Hey girl! Where have you been? Busy with things, I suppose! And you're probably wondering the same thing about me. lol! How are you and Ally? I read your new blog. When do you start the meds?

We set up our pool yesterday. It's soooooo hot and I'm hoping to take Bekah in sometime this evening before she gets too sleepy. I can't wait to see what she thinks!

Speaking of Bekah, the poor dear had her shots again today. Although she didn't seem to react nearly as upset this time, thank the Lord. Sometimes I really think the whole process is harder on me than it is on her! hehehe! She measured 25 3/4" and weighed 13 lbs 12 oz. She's still very light for her age but the doc didn't seem too terribly concerned yet. She just suggested I add a bottle of formula to her diet everyday just to make sure she's getting enough to eat. We're just a bit worried about the qwuality of my milk now that I'm preggers. She hadn't even gained 1 pound since her 4 month check-up! It's kind of freaking me out...even though she doesn't look sninny or anything.

So when is Ally's next appointment? I bet it's coming up soon.

Well, I need to go make Bekah her supper. I hope everything is well with you. Write when you have the chance. Love you! Kisses to Ally! xoxox Amanda

busybeemom - Tuesday, 1 July
Yeah I have about 30 I want to take off.

Rebekahs-mama - Thursday, 26 June
lol! Ally is too funny! She's really a mover, isn't she? You're going to have your hands full, that's for sure! I'm sure I'll be catching up with you sooner or later...probably when I'm huge and porky with a big ol' mama belly. Can't you see me flopping around after Bekah like that? Geez!

Bekah's gassy all the time, so it's hard to say. Although she didn't seem any more gassy than usual. Oh, and I totally get you about not being bothered to do anything. It's a wonder that I even got Bekah bathed and into bed!

How funny that you gagged at kissing your hubby! Was his breath in need of mouthwash or was it all you? Kevin's breath kills me now that I'm extra sensitive to smells. The poor guy is contantly brushing his teeth so I won't gag! And half the time he's not even sitting very close when it's bothering me! I really don't remember smells being such an issue the first time around. I'm also gagging at Bekah's bananas in the morning and I can't go near a gas station without practically losing my lunch! hehehe! The joys of pregnancy! Maybe since you're gagging you've already joined me in pregnancy!?!

Oh, my friend joined today. Her screen name is MommyKruse. Just thought I'd pop her name in if you want to wish her congrats. She just got married on May 17th and four days later got preggers! I was like, "A true honeymoon baby!" hehehe! I'm glad that didn't happen to me! I enjoyed some years alone with just me and the hubby, ya know? But she already has a son, so I suppose things are different for them anyway.

Anyhow, I need to get a couple things done before Kevin gets home for the evening. I'm craving a big, juicy burger and am tempted to call and make him stop. Arg, stupid cravings! I suppose I ought to ignore them. Eh, or not! hehehe!

Hugs and kisses to you and Ally! xoxox Amanda

*my angels* - Thursday, 26 June
Yeah it sucks i have no idea when to test for ovulation. I tried the online calculators and they usely go up to only 45days, i did manage to find a few that went past 45 and they all said that i ovulate two weeks before my period is due, so that would have been the 16th of june, we did bd around that day so many be i still could be pregers and the hcg might still be under 25 i guess ill have to wait until my period actually is missed..right?? Its all so confusing. me boobs started feeling like af was comming last few days but nothing today.
Be cool if we both got pregnant during the same month then we could go through the pregnancy together.
good luck!!!

Rebekahs-mama - Thursday, 26 June
Oh crappy headaches! They need to all go away! I had one a few days gao and all I could do to alleviate it was to lay down for a while.

Sounds like your wind was worse than ours a couple weeks ago. We had 80 mph gusts during a bad summer storm. I'm glad your house wasn't damaged at all.

How funny that Ally slept so well last night. Maybe it was the howling of the wind that soothed her. hehe! Who knows.

Well Kevin was in a funny lovey mood today. He took care of Bekah this morning so I could go back to bed as I was feeling rather nauseas. Then he cleaned the bathroom as a surprise (the smell of the toilet was making me gag! lol!). Then he rubbed my feet and talked about how he was feeling about the new baby. He's really excited. It's so cute!

So what are your plans for the day? Anything exciting? We just chilled all day which was nice after being so busy. Bekah really appreciated it for sure. Oh, and she tried peas today. She had no reaction and just chowed away like she'd been eating them for years. It was kind of ironic because I really expected her to spit them out at me. But she didn't.

Speaking of which, she's up and wanting some mama milk, so I'll end here. hugs to you and Ally! xoxox Amanda

Rebekahs-mama - Wednesday, 25 June
I added a 10 week belly pic to my blog! Not much change but oh well! I feel bigger anyways!!!

Rebekahs-mama - Wednesday, 25 June
Okay, so I totally cracked up at your message. Ally sounds hilarious with her moving around like that. She's definitely moving more than Bekah who seems to be content to stay on her mat and play for now. How funny!!! I would have loved to see your reaction when you found her! lol!

How do you make your porridge? I was just wondering what you use.

Well.....you never know. Maybe AF will hide for the next 9 months since you weren't even trying...and since you're planning on trying to lose some weight. That will do it!

As soon as Ally can pick that blasted thing back up and put it in I know you'll be throwing a party! hehe! Stupid paci! I can't wait to see how you're going to break her of it in the future. Talk about some sleepless nights! YIKES! Bekah refuses hers now, so I think I'm just going to toss them all. I'll need new ones for the next baby anyway.

Anyway, I hope your day goes well. I'm going o see what's on TV for a change. Probably nothing but crappy repeats! Ugh! xoxox Amanda

*my angels* - Tuesday, 24 June
I have only been trying since may. We tryed to bd everyday but it was too hard so then we just left it to every three days or so. I think that it would be wise to get ovulation strips to see if i am ovulating. When would be a good time to use them? I guess when i think i have ovulation symtoms? Because i have such a long cycle it would be ahrd to detect, honestly i feel like i have ovulated three times this cycle all with symoms cm and boobs cramps and moods, ya know. I think ill keep trying for another month and if nothing and no ovulation positives i think th doctor would be a good idea. Thanks alot for your help. Em, p.s your little girl is gorgeous congrats. I have a little girl and wanting a boy next are you the same?? One of each would be cute!!

Rebekahs-mama - Tuesday, 24 June
Oh my goodness, we're finally home. Whew! I was so exhausted last night that I went to bed at 7:30 and slept all the way until 7 this morning! hehehe! I feel much better although my back is not happy that I was in bed for so long!

Oh and when we were traveling yesterday I felt SOOOOO pregnant. I was so nauseas on the first plane and then starving at the layover. But we didn't have enough time to get some food between flights so I had to wait another 3 hours for food! By the time we landed, paid for parking our car, and found a place to eat I was almost passing out and was a SUPER GRUMPY PANTS!!!! lol! I told Kevin that if I didn't get some food in me in the next 10 minutes that he was going to have a dead wife and baby in the seat next to him! Thank God the waitress was fast. I felt like leaving her a $50 tip! hehehe! Oh, and my belly was stretching and crampy all day, too. Ugh, I was so happy to crawl into bed early last night.

I didn't realize Ally still wanted to be wrapped. Bekah just been sleeping in her diaper for weeks now. But I guess it's cold there, isn't it?

Oh, I hate headaches. They're the worst, especially when you're taking care of a baby that's screaming!

Let's see, what else did we do with family...

We had a picnic with several family members and a few friends. That was nice because they all came to us! lol! We had to travel to everyone else which was harder on Bekah. We also went out to eat a few times which was fun. The only time we had to pay was when we went out by ourselves and even that time we had a gift card so the meal was almost entirely paid for! Other than that we just went back and forth between my dad's, mom's and Kevin's parents. That was tiring enough! I'm so glad we decided against staying for 2 weeks. We were definitely ready to come home...by the end of the first week, mind you. It can just be so overwhelming. And Bekah definitely wasn't getting enough sleep either. She's been sleeping for almost 14 hours now!!! Talk about making up for lost sleep!!!

Bekah's not crawling yet but she gets her knees up under her tummy and pushes off on occasion. And she's all over her crib. I checked on her an hour ago and when I checked on her a few minutes ago she had moved from one end to the other. So funny!

I need to make some more baby food today after we grocery shop. I'm going to start Bekah on a new thing this week but haven't decided what. Maybe peas...or carrots. Not sure yet. Do you just blend the chicken, noodles and veggies for Ally?

Yeah, Bekah doesn't hold her sippy cup either. But she is trying. I think it's just too awkward for her yet. And she doesn't understand that she really needs to hold her head back to drink more easily. So it just gets mashed into her nose a bit! hehe!

OK, well I've gone on forever!! Can you tell I missed you? lol! Kiss Ally for me. And try not to obsess over being preggers because that's when it will happen! As soon as you start losing weight! lol! You know it! Hugs and kisses to you, too! xoxox Amanda

*my angels* - Tuesday, 24 June
Hey, thanks for the info that is interesting. Is this differnt with everyone though? Even if my cycles are long could i still be ovulating or is it very unlikely? I have always had irregular periods because of birth control/ pill and injection. I still managed to concieve my little girl with out really trying as she was unplaned, but now that we are trying it seems to be alot harder. Maybe it would be wise for me to see a doctor about it. All this trying could be for nothing!!
Thanks again and good luck.
Keep in touch any advice please i need it feel so new at all this!!:)

Rebekahs-mama - Saturday, 21 June
HI!!! How are you? I feel like it's been ages since I've been on here. hehe! My trip is getting closer to the end but I think I'll be ready to be home on Monday. I'm so tired! lol! I need a rest from all this running around I'm doing. But I only have so much time to see everyone and it's just so much fun catching up, ya know?

hehehe! So not much BDing going on, huh? Well that's not going to work very well!!!

I ended up cutting out Bekah's avocado and she's been fine ever since. I think it may have been past it's prime in terms of ripeness. She's eaten several avocados worth at home but this one looked a bit darker when I was making it and I remember thinking it may not be the best. But my MIL said it was fine...so...next time I'll just go with my gut!

So we went to my sister's today and she finally got to meet Bekah. She cried!!! It was so awesome to see her reaction and to see Bekah's reaction to her Aunt. Pictures just aren't going to show how amazing those moments were. My sis and I have always been very close, so the distance practically kills us. We talk on the phone for a couple hours each week but it's just not enough. I'm really hoping she'll come out for a visit with my mom after the new baby is born. I'd hate to have to wait a whole year before she sees Bekah and her new niece or nephew!

Well, I have a couple other people to write really quick and then I should get to bed. I've been yawning all day! hehehe! Hugs and kisses to you and Ally! Oh, and YAY for the raspberries! So freakin' cute, huh? lol! xoxox Amanda

Yes they will be up for sale soon. I will let you know as soon as they are ready. I will be making more today. Any pattern you like?

haha I bet! I am just such a worry wart to begin with! I think every little thing that is happening is a misscarriage. I tend to think of the worst instead of the best. Thanks for the encouragement! :-) Your baby is fricken gorgeous!!!
