My husband and I were trying to conceive for what it seems like forever. I went on clomid 50mg and got pregnant the second month. I started spotting during my 5th week of pregnancy and went and got an ultrasound and they saw 2 sacs but no fetal pole...none the less I was excited at the twin aspect. I was not told by my doctor that there is such a thing called the "vanishing twin syndrom" until I went for my second ultrasound today and they only saw one baby with heart beat. Although i am so excited to be having a baby this has been an emotional rollercoaster...to think you are miscarrying hence the spotting to finding 2 sacs hense twins to loosing one....I am grateful and thankful for what god has given me...but this has been the most emotional time of my life.

I wish everyone a happy and healthy pregnancy! :)

I am now 17 wks and 3 days...I can find out my babys sex on friday...ugh I don't know what to do, I really want to know but I also really want the surprise....hmmm HELP

I'ts a girl.....we can't wait to welcome Tereza Alcina. :)

I don't know how but I deleted alot of stuff I had written here..ugh.

I am almost 20 weeks pregnant. My pregnancy has been amazing so far, no morning sickness, nothing to bother me at all. I have gained 20 pounds so far, and am concerned about over doing it LOL, I have been eating healthy, maybe it's the lack of excercise. I can't wait for Teresa to arrive, I love her already sooo much. :)

Today my husband and I had an appointment to register at the hospital. I am half way through my pregnancy and seriously am getting really anxious for baby girl to arrive. Although I have had a great pregnancy, it's really starting to take a toll on me...I can honestly say I don't like being pregnant...love the fact I'm having a baby, but for some really silly reason I just thought when you get pregnant ur belly grows and ur still the same every other way. Who would of thought that the stretching of your belly is so uncomforetable, or sleeping becomes such a task, or walking up stairs can be so painful LOL I was soooo naive !!! Nah I take it back I'm loving every minute of it LOL !

I had a doctors appointment today, and doc said that baby is measuring ahead so my due date has been changed to March 29th. I also got weighed today..omg I have already gained 29 pounds...I am not too happy about that, but there is nothing I can do about it, I am trying to eat healthy, and I don't look that big, I just don't get it. I think with the holidays time is going to fly by, I can't wait till the end of March so I can finally meet baby :)

I had an appointment today with my family doctor for my thyroid. She has not seen me in over 3 months since I have been going to my OB since the begining, anyways...she was not happy with the amount of weight I have put on. She said that 32 pounds is more than what I should have gained at 9 months, she says I don't look like I have gained that much but it's not good for my body and for delivery. I am eating more, I mean I never used to eat breakfast, it used to be coffee and a cigarette, and more coffee and light lunch and dinner. So yeah I am eating more and not fatty foods. She said it may be water retention since I am swollen on my face arms hands feet and legs but not all that weight. She really made me feel terrible. I said well I can't go on a diet since I AM PREGNANT ,....and she said sure you can. No more junk, no more carbs, no more fruit with alot of sugar..she just let me have it...i felt horrible...I just want to have a healthy baby, I can deal with the physicality of it later...and i don't want a hard labour. So I went on a long walk through all the snow tonight to work some calories off. I hate that she made me feel like this!

I had not updated anything on my page in so long. I am not very good on journaling :(

I can't believe I am almost at week 30, I am so excited I can't believe that in about 2 months I will have a baby in my arms...omg it gives me goosebumps to think of this. :) I am now waking up in the middle of the night again for the race to the bathroom to pee. It iso frustrating cause then I have a hard time falling back to sleep :(. I guess it's good practise when baby comes and I would be forced to function with little or no sleep. We are looking into getting UC baby done sometime this week or next. We want to be absolutely sure that it's a little girl before we pain the nursery,,,Man if they tell me its a boy what am I gonna do with all the girl stuff I bought...ugh I hope it's a girl...I can't wait. The pain under my breasts is still very painful....I'm tired of being pregnant...I want to feel like me again...soon ...very very soon.

I keep adding here and it get deleted, just testing if this works.

I went for my 3d ultrasound today and was very dissappointed with the results. The technician said we should have come in 3-4 weeks ago and my husband said we did call in the beginning of January but they were booked. Non the less there was not alot of fluid or room for baby to move to get good pics and the placenta was in the way. It was a 200.00 session but we stopped after 5 minutes and they charged us 100.00 for gender prediction. I guess its good to know 100% it's a girl. If anyone is reading this who is looking to get their 3d ultrasound I would highly recommend they get it done from 26-30 weeks that is what technician said.

Baby is almost here, I can't believe that I am 32 weeks already time has flown by, and other then the stretching pains that I have felt that have made me uncomfy from time to time...and the weight gain that I am dreading on how hard it will be loose..I have had a pretty easy pregnancy. I have gained 42 pounds already, and honestly i can't belive it. I am 164 pounds don't look like it though...its all belly and a bit of booty. I just pray that delivery goes well and baby is healthy I can deal with the rest.

Today was our first day of prenatal classes. It was from 9-4 a very long day of sitting in a chair, with all the aches and pains under my breasts. I really wasn't thinking about labour and how hard it will be until this class, it kinda scared the crap out of me ( and this is without seeing the video) we get to see that tomorrow. I was all for the epideral until today. The nurse that was teaching the class seemed so negative about it...I am now so confussed. I still think I am going to play it by ear and try without it and if I desperately need it then OFCOURSE i will take it. We will be there tomorrow from 9-4. The number one thing I learned and did not like is...that if this is your first baby YOu usually go into labour late...40-42 weeks...ugh another 2 weeks added to my due date is how I am seeing this,...MAN AM I SOOO READY!

Feb 11th

I just came home from my breast feeding seminar. I hope that I will be able to do this without any issues. They stressed the importnace of the nutrients and anitboties and the part about burning 500 calories a day sounded great too. Work is getting very tiring. The doctor gave me a note 2 weeks ago that enables me to reduce my hours per week, I am going to atalk to human resources tomorrow about it. I will be leaving work the first week of march, I am using the remaining vacation weeks I have from last year. I am so looking forward to the year off with baby. My husband and I were discussing my n ot returning to work, I would love to be able to stay home and take care of baby, and freelance (make-up) in a year, that would be my ideal situation, I had the hardest time sleeping last night. My belly feels bruised, I'm not sure why, I go to doctors tomorrow and will ask.
