Julia @ 3 months

Julia Lynn @ 2 months

Sisterly love, Julia at 3 months w/big sis Emily, 4 yrs 2 mths

pregnancy stuff:

Big ole belly shots

4o weeks, 2 days and none to0 thrilled about THAT

37 weeks!

28 weeks!!!!!!!

19w 6 days! Our "big u/s" was perfect! Belly shot to celebrate:

WOW!!!! FINALLY!!!!

Pg with #2 after three consecutive losses in a year. EDD 5/10/08, and it's a GIRL!

Had my CVS 10/19, what a blessing...46 chromos!!!

17 w now: I'm feeling her!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wednesday, 19 Dec

My 'big' u/s is tomorrow, 12/10 at 10:30. I hope everything looks good in there!!!! I am slightly nervous, it will be a relief to have it done.

Saturday, 22 Dec

20 weeks! Everything on the u/s was PERFECT! Yay!!!! we are half baked!

Monday, 28 Jan

I haven`t updated in so long. I `m 25 weeks now! This baby moves like CRAZY and I LOVE it. I miss it when she`s quiet. This pregnancy is just flying by...and it`s been perfect. I`ve had four colds, the stomach virus (hell!), and a bad fall that injured my tailbone. But the pregnancy itself couldn`t be more routine, thank god thank god. I can`t believe we`re almost only three months from meeting her. So much to do, so little time. Time to take a big ole belly pic soon. I haven`t done one since 19w!

Sunday, 10 Feb

THIRD TRIMESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!WOW!!!!!

Friday, 22 Feb

I passed my glucose test! YAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOO!I got a 61, with normal range being 65-130. What a relief!

Friday, 7 Mar

I can `t believe I `ll be 31 weeks tomorrow. Had a 3d/4d u/s but little baby girl would not show her face, she was too busy sucking her thumb, fingers and holding her arms over her face. I will go back in two weeks to try again.

UPDATE 3/20/08 Happy Spring!

Went back for another 3D/4D U/S, and the baby still wasn't very cooperative. She is head down though!

Well, I'm 32 weeks 5 days...coming into the home stretch. I'm feeling pretty good, although I am not happy about the prospect of NST's twice weekly for the duration of my pregnancy. I think that's just insane, but it's the protocol for a 40+ preggo. On the upside, at least I'll get to have some good indicators all the time that all is well in there.

Also, I am counting the days until the end of tax season. Working at night at 8 months pregnant has been a real challenge. Oh, and she's head down! I'm praying that I can have the same quick, drug-free epi-free birth that I did with my daughter. And I went into labor in the 38th week...hoping for a repeat performance!

BIG UPDATE: 4/11/08 (36 wks tomorrow):

I AM 80% EFFACED & 1 CM DILATED, STATION

-1 ! Could be another week...or two...we'll see! Emily was born 38w 5 d. I am packing that hospital bag this week.

Thoughts, News etc.

dennisse - Friday, 8 August

sooo cute! Beautiful family.

To those of you who responded, thank you, your support is greatly appreciated. In answer to the couple of questions: I only have to fast from sundown Saturday to sundown Sunday, I've done it before, I'm just not "feeling" it this time. I have to have my head covered at all times in public. In my household or in a household that is women only, I can take it off.
And to Tess42~~AMEN! I will NOT be bothered either with a religion just lets me be.
I also appreciate all the comments on Mo, he is such a sweet baby!

Even though he refuses to stay down for his second nap at the moment!

All you ladies are great! Thank you and again be blessed!

Hello my friends!

I am not well. Physically I'm fine, even though I haven't had a period in 3 months. I am spotting so to speak and saw some red today, but no real period, and of course I'm not pregnant. I would WELL be showing now if I was.

So anyway, spiritually and emotionally I'm beaten. It's hard living the lifestyle hubby and I live without a community. Meredthy0315 knows what I speak of because she lives the lifestyle too.

I have a day coming up where I have to fast, no choice, and I really don't want to nor do I care what happens if I don't. I eat kosher and for the last week or so, all I've wanted to do is walk into a fast food place and order whatever I want. There are no kosher restaurants in our area so hubby and I stopped eating out 3 years ago. I keep my head covered as most of the observant woman who follow Judaism do and lately I've been walking outside to put my clothes in the laundry without my head covered. Granted it's out the side door where I can't be seen, but when I exit my house, I'm go cover my head in case a man walks by. I'M TIRED LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it wasn't for Mo, I would have kicked it a looooooooooooong time ago, but my son deserves better and so does my hubby.

I start school in 2 weeks and I'm ready and excited, but I'm to the point where I'm beginning to not care again. I want to be where the others living the lifestyle I'm living, someone I can call or go see when I'm having problems, go eat in a kosher restaurant whenever I want to, take my son out for his first kosher meal when he starts eating "real" food

, and being able to spend time with others who understand. No I'm not Jewish, but I live the lifestyle and my friend who is Jewish tells me that Charles and I are more Jewish than some of her friends born that way because of how we live. I hear it will get better, but when?????!!!!! I just want to feel better.

Other than that, Mo is VERY well! He hates chicken though!

Tried it today and for the first time he gagged and then spit it out each time I gave it to him. We'll try again at nine months, it'll hold in the freezer for 10 weeks.

Thanks for being there my friends! Be blessed!

adriennella - Thursday, 31 July
Thank you so much for your nursery compliment!! I had the best time making it...now I'm just counting down the minutes until I can meet baby Rose and bring her to it!
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Lisa,

Glad you like my pictures. I am enjoying taking them. I want to make sure that I capture all these important milestones with my daughter.

I LOVE being a mother. It is the most wonderful thing that I have even done in my life. Each day is a new adventure. I could use some extra sleep at night, but I know that is normal and I have heard the same thing from other mothers as well. So far my husband and I have been good at figuring out why my daughter is crying and have been good at assuaging each new challenge as it comes up.

We did find it challenging to breast feed in the beginning. I have had to supplement with formula a little, but I have been sticking it out with the hopes of building up my breast milk supply and going towards all or almost all breast milk. I also use the breast pump and go to a breast feeding support group at the PA hospital.

I have been losing my pregnancy weight—not as fast as I would like (LOL), but it is moving in the right direction. Maybe it is good that I am losing it slower rather than all at once, because it is healthier that way.

I love the pictures and blogs that you have been posting. Your little girl Julia is so beautiful. She looks like a lot of fun. I love her expressions on the pictures.

Take care, Margy

adriennella - Wednesday, 30 July
Thanks so much for the great advice about pacing myself in this last month. Because of you, I'm going to be a lazy butt all day...and I'm going to try not to feel guilty about it!

Your baby is absolutely GORGEOUS!

Want2bMOM - Wednesday, 30 July
Thanks for your kind and comforting words. I have decide to take Clomid I know one of my friend she took it for 3 cycles and she is 15week pregnant now. So I decided to take it and I hope there will be a good result out of it. And it is worth!

shavg - Sunday, 27 July
What a beautiful baby girl u have there, congrats mama!!!

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know that I won't be on as much. Nothing is wrong, I just do better when I visit here every 4 days or so instead of everyday. We are well with the exception of my husband working 6 days a week and not having any family time. Today (sunday) is supposed to be our day together, but he's at work. I'm hoping he's feeling okay when he gets off and maybe if it's not too late, he, Mo, and I can go for a drive and then later him and I to a movie. Work is cool and I'm only one month away from starting school. I know what I want to be when I grow up....A TEACHER!

I don't want to be a server when I'm 50.

I only need 4 courses for my AA and then I can start my work for my BA in elementary education. I'M SCARED TO DEATH, but I know if it's meant to be, G-d will see to it.

Mo is 7 months old now and is an official crawler!

He only scoots every now and again. He was standing up in his crib this morning and I just about died!

He was more on his toes, but it was so cute! Looks like he may be walking soon. I haven't breastfed in nearly a month and a half and it's odd, I do miss it. What a closeness Mo and I had while I was doing it. We still have that bond, but breastfeeding made it even more special. I haven't had a period in about 3 months now, but I did bleed for about a day and a half last month. I'm going to talk to my OB if I don't see a cycle once I hit the green pills on my BC. Of course I'm not pregnant, no signs whatsoever. And I know what they mean when they say, once you've been pregnant, you know instantly the next time you are. I took 2 tests over 2 months and of course BFN and I'm okay with that. I want to enjoy Mo for a little while longer. And this house just isn't big enough for another little one.

Our stimulus check arrived on July 7th and it was SO NICE to finally receive it. Money was low and now we're on the high end once again and I'm hoping it stays that way for a bit. Well, let me go, my little man has been in his activity center long enough watching Baby Einstein. He's such a good boy...even if he does wake up at 2:45 in the AM and doesn't go down again til nearly 4AM!

Oh I was MAD this AM because I was SO tired. I put him back in his crib because I was upset and a few minutes later hubby stepped in and took over. I didn't hear him again til 6am and I was okay with that. Got him a bottle and he fell asleep about 30 minutes later and we BOTH slept til nearly 8:30!

Hope all you guys are well. Be blessed and take care!

Mo turned 7 months on the 4th of July!

Where the heck did the time go???

He's such a BIG boy now! Although we had trouble in the Walmart buggy today.

Don't think mommy had his little belt placed correctly. He fell to the side twice, but luckily never hit his head.

He's in his new Britax car seat and it's SO much easier getting him in and out. I wanted to buy myself something for my birthday on Friday, but Walmart didn't have the DVD I wanted so I purchased some more clothes for Mo. If I can't buy for me then I will ALWAYS buy for Mo.

I got him a puzzle that makes sounds when you put the pieces back in. It's so neat. It's called Farm Animals Puzzle. Got it for $10 at BELK'S.
I hope all of you are well. Take care!
