Hi, my name is Lisa. I'm 25 and expecting my first baby in March 2008. i found out tues july 24 when i went to the dr's-not even b/c i thought i was preg., b/c that didnt even cross my mind-not even when the doc said they were gonna give me a pregnancy test...but i will never forget when she came into my little room and told me that i was pregnant!! i was in shock! i had a stupid grin stuck on my face and asked her "are you serious?" immediately i called the baby's daddy (on and off bf of 3 1/2yrs) he was completely speechless! we weren't expecting this but we also hadnt been preventing me from getting preg. since oct. of 2006...and now here we are...

Oct. 23-I went to the dr. yesterday and found out IMMEDIATELY that i'm having a BOY!!! he wasnt shy at all w/ showing what he had!! he even waived!! he's gotten so big since 10wks when i last saw him!!

NOV.19-I had a dr's appt today. I've gained 9lbs in the past month.(now at 143) woohoo! hahahaa (might as well be happy that my baby's growing!) Dr. started the measuring of my stomach today as well-totally forgot to ask what it was. (will ask next time)

NOV.21-I'm so overjoyed now! i FINALLY have a name for my little boy!! As of yesterday and w/ lots of thanks to the women on here who have helped w/ suggestions...his name will be JORIAN JAYE!!!

DR APPT-DEC.17.....i've gained 6lbs in the last month.(NOW AT 149) i go next wed for my glucose testing. and i'm now going to the dr every other week!!!! wow!! its getting so close!!! im so excited to see my baby!!! i wanna know what he looks like so bad!! i hope he's got his daddy's eyes/eye lashes and lips!! awe!! he's my little mixed baby!!! =) i can't wait!

Jan-9 (30 weeks) Still feeling great!! I had a dr. appt today-i've gained 4lbs in the past 3weeks. (i hit the 150 mark-making me @ 153) lol. baby is very healthy. I passed the gestational diabetes test but my blood count is low so Dr told me to start taking iron pills. (baby is hogging all my blood.) =) omg!! i'm so excited!! he's finally gonna be here in 10weeks!! i get my 1st ever baby shower in 5weeks-courtesy of my best friend thats flying in town just to be there AND she's the one throwing it for me! i'm so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family!!!

Jan.23-i'm slightly upset-i had my bi-weekly checkup-i've gained 8lbs in the past 2weeks!!! buuuut somehow i've gained 3lbs overnite. =/ i had a diff. appt yesterday and they weighed me and i was at 158 (which was 5lbs gained in the past 2weeks) and then miraculously today at my appt at the dr's i'm at 161??? i dont understand it. although i'm wondering if its b/c 1) i started eating meats again or 2) i drank too much water before i went to my drs appt (i wanted to make sure i would be able to pee when i went)...oh well we'll see where i'm at in 2weeks.

FEB.6 (34WEEKS) i went to my appt and i wait for the dr for AN HOUR!!! i started to cry in the room b/c i started feeling like no one cares that this is my 1st baby. is it wrong to wanna be treated special b/c your carrying a baby!?? (and no the dr wasnt out delivering another baby b/c i kept hearing her in the halls outside my door) so anyways, i didn't gain any weight in the last 2weeks so my weight is still looking good-still 27lbs gained and i'm now going weekly.

FEB.14 (35 WEEKS/1 DAY) I go for my weekly checkup-maybe they'll tell me something. so far it's always just been the normal-measure my belly, check my heartrate, hear baby's heartbeat and ask if i've had any BH.....i'm really wanting to have him on st.patrick's day but i don't wanna be induced! i want him to come when he feels he's ready...HAPPY V-DAY to all you mommies and mommies-to-be!!! (gained 3lbs-164)

FEB.20 (36 WEEKS) i had high blood pressure when i got to the drs so they waited a little and then it was normal. i'm getting a sono next week to see how my baby's facing and to see how big he is. i'm so excited!!! (gained 3lbs-167)

FEB.27 (37 WEEKS) FIRST OFF- my baby's daddy came w/ me to the appts today!!! (only one he's been to this ENTIRE pregnancy!!!) and i got a sono-they measured him and we got to see baby!! he's head down and he's approx. 6lbs.12oz.!!!! awe!!!! he's got chubby cheeks. he's so adorable! then i had my regular checkup-and i didnt gain any weight the past week! woohoo!! and dr. said next week she'll start checking how far down the baby is...we both got to keep a pict of our son!
