Hello!!
I am pregnant with my first baby. My hubby and I have been together 15 years. We started trying to coneive earlier this year...We thought it took forever, but I am now learning that 5 months is quick! I am currently 11 weeks pregnant. We have had several Ultrasounds...I am learning that my Doctor loves to give them. (AWESOME). We just had one yesterday and the baby was very active, my doctor said I should be able to feel him/her soon. She set up another ultrasound next week so we can hear the heartbeat...we can see it and it is fast and beautiful...Now we just want to hear it!!! It will be the best Birthday present ever...to hear my babys heartbeat!! I turn 30 next week!!! OMG!
I can not wait to meet this lil one; we have waited a long time for this!!! 
Saturday, 10 Nov
Let's see... I am now 16 weeks preggo...And really starting to show. Actually I don't think I can hide it. It is very exciting and scary at the same time.I was on bed rest for 2 weeks due to a low lying placenta. That has now fixed itself. This coming Monday I have my AFP test. I am bit nervous for that...and very anxious to get the test results back.
At my 15 week scan my Perinatal Specialist noted an Echongenic Bowel with the baby. This is most likely caused by my bleeding from the low-lying placenta. (The baby swallows the blood and it show brigt on the scan)...It is also a marker for Downs. So, my hubby and I are obviously nervous.
I am feeling very good. I get tired if I over do it, and I have terrible heartburn.
I will follow up back up soon!!
Friday, 16 Nov
*Sigh* I got the call from the Dr's office that I have been waiting for all week. My AFP test has come back NEGATIVE for Downs or Spinal Bifida. I cried as soon as I heard the goods news. The marker for the echogenic bowel really had me so scared...I am 17 weeks today!!
Sunday, 25 Nov
Well today I am 18 weeks. I have felt a few flutters at night, and I thought I felt a thud the other night when I woke up to go potty----been doing that at least twice a night!I have been feeling good...and of course still get tired pretty quickly. I a little nervous about weight gain, my Dr was not happy about me putting on 8lbs so far...ugh...but I am trying to be more active. I am sure being on bed rest for 2 weeks didnt help my metabloism.
We have another Dr appt on the 6th with the perinatal specialist and than an OBGYN appt on the 10th. Can't wait to see our little girl again!!!

Thursday, 13 Dec
Update time!! Last week I went to Perinatal Specialist and was told that my cervix was short and that I measured 3.1 (The norm is 3.5).This Tuesday the 11th I went to see OBGYN and she said that as long as I was above 3.0 she was not concerned. However she wanted me to start moving around more and getting more excerise...I have gained abput 20 lbs. eeek
Today the 12th, I had a follow up with Perinatal specialist for my cervix. My measurements today came back at 2.8; which is well below the 'Norm'. I am not on bed rest until next Thursday the 20th. If my cervix gets longer at least above 3.0 i will still need to stay on bed rest but willmost likely not need surgury. Today they had me hooked up to test for contractions and I did not have any. So Dr was very happy!!
I brought my mom with me to see baby at Perintatal office, and I am so glad I did. She was great, and asked a lot of questions that I didn't even knwo to ask...that is what moms are for. (My mom had many pregnancy issues as well)
We got a sneak peak with a 3D U/S...Got to see my little ones face!! very cute!! She still had her little legs crossed at her ankles and kept putting her hand sin her face. I think my mom was in shock...as they didn't have these things when she was preggie with me!
I will follow up again soom!! Wish me luck my Cervix gets longer!! GO CERVIX!! (never thought I would say that LOL)
Monday, 24 Dec
Today is Christmas Eve...Still on bed rest due to my short cervix. It has gone from 2.7 to 3.4...Dr. is keeping me on house arrest until the 4th, than he will re-measure again. Hopefully my pesky cervix will lengthen permantaly. I really want to start getting up and around. I have put on about 22lbs...EEKK I am not as worried about the extra weight, more the fact that I have not been active for most of this pregnancy...I don `t want to be too winded during labor!! I have been feeling Sweet Pea a lot lately. I get nervous when I don `t feel her.Had a cold this past week...now the darn cold is in my chest...So, I ave a wicked cough and my throat is getting sore again!!Well, I have been laying low for awhile, now I am going to get up for about an hour and make more cookies!!MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!Monday, 7 Jan
Today is my 24 Week Doctors apt (HAHA Not that I do not see another Dr allmost every week). But today is my OBGYN Appt...I am a little nervous as today I am suppposed to do my Glucose Tolerance Test...and of course get weighed!! Gettiing weighed actually freaks me out more, as being on bed rest for the last4 weeks...doesn `t make it easy to stay fit!! Wish me luck....Friday, 11 Jan
25 Weeks TODAY!!I took my glucose test on Monday...and I passed with flying colors. I also got a negative for my pre-term test!! I spoke in length with my Dr about Strep B, and how I WANT and NEED antibiotics regardless of how I test at delivery...This is just a preccaustion!!!! I have a good friend of mine that her 7 week old daughter is in NICU with Menegitis due to strep B...and my friend tested negative a week before delivery!!My cervix is down to 2.48 the lowest it has been!! Dr has me on STRICT bed rest...I go bcak on the 17th for another follow up...Baby is doing great..and kicking and moving around like crazy!! She is going to be such a handful!! LOVE HER SO MUCHFriday, 18 Jan
Okay well tomorrow I will be 26 weeks... Time flies when you are having fun!! Or lay around staring at your walls (Love bed rest...NOT) LOLOkay, so I went to Perinatal Dr today and cervix has lengthen to 2.6 from 2.4...So, not great but getting better!!Hubby went with me and got to see Sweet Pea...she was very active. The tech tried to see if she was `Practicing breathing ` but we didn `t catch her in the act if she did....I guess they start at this point. In a few weeks she should be doing it all the time.Dr still have me on bed rest. He wants me to hold off until 8 weeks...like I really have control LOL... He told me at least 8 more weeks on bed rest...I told him no problem...She is the boss...I already made it 6 weeks straight what is another 8 LOL!!!I go back next wednesday for a follow up and a fetal fibretin test!! JOY JOYThursday, 24 Jan
Well I went to Perinatal Dr again today. Had a Fetal Fibrecton test and checked my cervix again. I get the test results back tomorrow on the FFN test. My cervix is shorter!! I am now down to the lowest 1.9. The Dr has me on Terbutaline to slow/stop contractions that are thinning out my cervix. This medicine is makingme very jumpy and shaky. I have had such an issue with sleeping...I am afraid this will seriously hinder that more. I have to take one 2.5mg tablet every 8 hours!! Dr has assured me that baby will be fine! Poor little sweet pea. She is getting big. They didn `t tell me her weight today, but told me I should find out at next weeks scan (27 weeks). We did catch her `Practicing ` her breathing today. So cute! She was again going crazy on the monitor and does not care for being constricted by the bands!!My baby shower invitations went out today!! I am just hoping no labor before shower on 3/1/08. i can not wait to see what the girls have planned.I also recieved an email that my Changing table will be here Monday!! whoo hoo... Floors are going to be installed this Saturday...than we (Hubby) can start decorating!!!My friend had be baby on Sunday!! She just sent me pictures...so beautiful!!Friday, 25 Jan
Got my test results back for the Fetal Fibrecton test... NEGATIVE!! WHOO HOOOGetting super excited about the nursery! The crib and changer should be here on Monday (If BRU didn `t screw it up) and the floors get put in on Saturday!! Okay...off I go back to bed to bake baby!!
Thursday, 31 Jan
I am really freaked out today. My mom had to re-take her mammogram scan today, and it came back that she does have a nodule. They are having her go in next Wednesday for a biopsy. i am just so scared for her.Please add her to your prayers!!
Daddy finsihed the Changing Table/Dresser today!! Check out the knobs...so much better than the wood knobs it came with...don't ya think!! Now it is onto decorating....hmmm on bed rest (no easy task I am sure)
Monday, 4 Feb
At my Doctors appt on the 28th my cervix was up to 2.2...so some improvement since I have been on the terbutaline. I am begining to get the worst case of heartburn. I am so miserable. I have tried....tums, aloe, baking soda and Zantac. I just can not get any relief...Actually the only thing that does help are milkshakes...but I seriously can not eat them everyday!!!Going to see OBGYN on MOnday for 28 week check up and to discuss Rh Shot...than going to Perintatal Dr on Tuesday to remeasure cervix!!! 
Sweet Pea - 28 weeks!! Love my little girl so much!!!!!!
Tuesday, 5 Feb
Well, went to OBGYN on Monday and all is good. She is having me take another Glucose test on the 19th...I guess this is due to my weight gain... 9lbs this month!! OMG!! I passed the other one...so I hope all goes will with this one.I went to Perinatal Dr today to have my crvix re-measured. Still 2.2, but as long as it doesn `t get any shorter...I am a happy girl! I am still on bed rest... 6 more weeks until Dr re-evaluates my bed rest status. I hope to be able to be more active...I am so weak!!My heartburn has been out of control, but since I upped my dose of Xantac yesterday i am feeling so much better!!!Baby Shower is 3 more weeks away!! Oh and we haave scheduled a 3D/4D ultrasound this coming Saturday!! Can `t wait...bring the whole family!!!!!!!!
LOOK WHO'S KICKING SCANS!!!
Wednesday, 13 Feb
I am 29 Weeks today (2days before 30)Went this past weekend for a 3D/4D ultrasound. So awesome. Too bad sweet pea was putting her hands and feet in her face...this was distorting the picture. It was justreally awesome letting my parents and hubby `s parents...and my sis(that drove all the way down 3 hours) to see it!!I went to my Perinatal Dr today. He did another Fetal Fibrectin Test...NEGATIVE!! So, I will be labor free for at least another 2 weeks.As for cervox...down to 1.5!! So, he is keeping me on my Terbutaline and extending my bed rest to 37 weeks. So, 8 more weeks of BED REST!!I can `t complain...she is healthy and doing great. So, I am all about keeping her that way!!!
Sweet Pea - 30 Weeks!!
Thursday, 21 Feb
Well, I am 30 weeks! Went to OBGYN yesterday and took my 2nd glucose test...still waiting to hear test results. I did however learn that my ketones were high and that I need to eat more (I can `t win) I only gained 1 pound so Dr was happy about that...(Again...can `t win)I went to Perintatl Dr today and my cervix has measured 1.7; a little better than last week. They also did the baby measurements and she is 3.6 pounds!! Getting so big! I was told that after 34 weeks I can attend birthing classes!! Whooo hoooSaturday, 8 Mar
Well I am 33 Weeks!! whoo hoo...It has been a very long road thus far.I went to OB and PN this week, took a few tests. I had to have a liver enzyme/liver function test due to a rash that decided to overcome my body (Itchy and insane, I am thinking it is PUPP....which is hormone induced and no cure!! Nothing like bed rest and itching LOL) I also had another FFN test that came back negative...so that gives me a nice 2 week window for no labor...I think that is the last FFN test I will get, as I read no more after 34 weeks.I am still going to be on bed rest until week 37 APRIL 4!!!!!!! Hmmm...that sounds like a nice birthday 4-4-08!!, maybe she will come than? plus my sis will be in town!!I had my baby shower this past Saturday. Our family abnd friends out did themselves. We seriously have nothing to buy, and if we do I think all the Gift certificates will cover it!!I hope to go shopping after my bed rest, hopefully she will stay put so that I can get the final touches together.I am going to start washing all of her new clothes this week...and pack the hospital bag!! I can `t believe the time is getting near!! WHOO HOOOOWednesday, 12 Mar
Okay, so cervix is down to 0.7!!!!! Dr is not freaking out, but says stay lay down and no activity!The bigger the baby gets the shorter the cervix....So, I am just going to roll with the punches....Dr said my cervix could hold me till 39 weeks, but most likely at 37 weeks when he takes me off Terbutaline, it will only be a short matter of time before she is here!!! I am super excited about that!! But not excited about LESS activity...Oh well really only 3 more weeks.Monday, 24 Mar
Holy Heartburn!!I am having a very hard time sleeping due to this heartburn issue. I learned quickly that Chocolate is a big no no...but I am still weeding through the rest of the food groups...Even water is a nightmare, and if I don `t drink enough...than on come the contractions!!Complaints - LOL: Heartburn, Numb and tingly arms, hands and fingers, trigger finger, back pain and exhaustion, baby getting stuck under my ribs, peeing constantly, constipation!! and...BED REST!!On to the wonderful things: Little Sweet Pea is so active and such a character...I can just tell. I can `t wait to meet her. She is growing perfectly and I couldn `t ask for anything more. I love feeling her swish and move around...I love laying with my hubby chatting about what we thing she will look like and who `s traits she will take...and just the excietment of having her and all the new experiences we will get to have because of her!Hubby for the past few weeks has been stressed about baby...now he is begging me to get off bed rest and have her already...First I though that it might be becsue he is over handling all the house hold duties, but now I I realize that he truely just wants to meet his little girl!! I see him in the nursery all the time re-folding things, wiping down furniture and admiring his little girls room.Can `t wait to meet you Emma!!We are going to the Drs this coming Wednesday for cervix check...But on April 1st we go to both OB and Perinatal Dr. At Perinatal Dr the baby wil be measured and we will learn her weight and hopefully pardon me from bed rest...and at OB I am hoping to discuss birthing options and perhaps...shall I say it INDUCTION? LOL

div77 - Friday, 11 April
how r u doing? is today the big day? keep me posted! :)
usagi - Friday, 11 April
Just read on the 38 weekers page you are going to be induced today! HOORAY! Wishing you a smooth delivery. Paige is waving hi to Emma right now!!!!
TannersMommy - Friday, 11 April
You poor thing! Vent anytime. I don't understand why when women have issues and are this close they don't just go ahead and induce. My friend has preclampia and she was due the 9th. As far as I've heard she still hasn't delivered, they just put her on strict bed rest and told her to wait. WHY??? What for what?
I go to the doc today at 11:45 so I will see if anything has happened. Hang in there and keep me posted!
miracle-baby - Friday, 11 April
Yay you!! Congratulations, I am so happy for you. Keep us posted.
newmommy2be - Friday, 11 April
Just wanted to say good luck!! Hope you have an amazing experience!! I'll be praying for you and your new family tonight. Take Care!
sarahnicely - Wednesday, 9 April
i'm not understanding why some dr's make their patients go thru sooo much when a baby at 35 weeks is typically health as 40 weeks. grrrrr let me smack them for you. it'll be over before you know it, just don't give up now...like you could if you wanted to right. well I've got my fingers crossed for you...and I'd love to be sitting by your pool with our babies instead of freezing here and you on bed rest there. :( keep me posted...I've got a few days off to myself...what am I gonna do?
div77 - Wednesday, 9 April
Oh Heather, thats so annoying!! After everything too! I remmeber a month or so ago, you predicted that after all this bedrest, you will be hanging on till the 41st week! I suddenyl remembered that, what irony! dont worry, I think it will be really soon, think little emma is feeling happy and pampered in her mommys tummy! You just have to read 39th weeks posts to know that ppl are dropping babies left right and center! :) My nights are getting super uncomfortable, little cramps, Im scareddd of the pain w/contractions, I want baby inside for a little bit more :))
mitzumama - Wednesday, 9 April
I empathize with your frustration. I constantly feel like I am being spited by my body and this baby. One second I feel totally unready and begin having "signs" of labor and the next day I feel ready as I'll ever be and there wont be one "sign" all day! ARG!
mybundleofjoy - Wednesday, 9 April
Wow...you have had a rocky week this past couple weeks...I hope you are feeling better now. I'm glad to hear the baby is doing well. I will keep you and the baby in my prayers. Take care and I will talk to you soon.
first-time-mommy-to-b - Wednesday, 9 April
Hang in there!! You have been through ALOT with this pregnancy...but don't give up here at the end! You can do it!! We are all routing for you!!
ExpectingAgain08 - Wednesday, 9 April
I just read your post under 37 weeks, I hope that you have your baby asap! It sounds like your really not having a good time, and would probaly never have another baby, lol. I could not handle that, i would go NUTS. reading your post makes me feel happy, cause I'm not going through thos problems, but also sad, cause I hate it when people suffer. PLEASE COME ON OUTTA HER BABY :-P
jujubee - Wednesday, 9 April
you're my hero!
hang in there, you're almost done!
tannersmommy - Tuesday, 8 April
OMG you poor thing. Sounds like you had a busy week, and your still on bed rest! Ack! Well I'm having some pretty strong contractions or BH or whatever they are. I've been having a lot of pressure and my pubic area hurts. Not to mention the green slime (I guess mucus plug) that has been coming out of me. YUCKY! I freaking got a papercut on my lip today tring to lick an envelope. And I think I'm getting a cold sore just in time for people ti take my wonderful pic in the hospital! UGH! I can't wait to go to the doc on Fri. I just need to make it past the 15th and then I can have baby.
I have forgotten how to put pictures on the web site I think I need a log on & password for photobucket. I'll have to work on it, but I feel like I never have time to get on here anymore. I'm still working on getting the nursery together. It seemed so much easier when we were getting ready for Tanner. I guess cause I was just getting things here and there except for the showers and I could put stuff away as I got it. But this time I already have so much stuff to sort through. I have an entire tub of just baby bottles and cups that I have no idea where to put. I'm hoping to breast feed but I will still need them to pump.
I really didn't sleep well last I feel like all I did was toss and turn. I kept having strange dreams. Oh I am so ready physically to have this baby (I'm sure you feel the same way).
Anyway I hope you don't have to go to the hospital again until you deliver. Best wishes, and let me know how your doing.
sarahnicely - Sunday, 6 April
my goodness girl...talk about your body betraying you! It'll be over soon, just don't give up on having another after this "baby, mama, trama" I hope your feeling a little better. I'm sitting here contracting away but I think its just a big false alarm because absolutly nothing is changing. :( I've come to terms with having a baby...now I'm ready to have her OUT. Like yesterday! :) of course I'm allowed to change my mind when real labor starts. :) Well good luck with the rest of your weekend. Hopefully your not scaring your lil sis outta having babies. ;)
div77 - Sunday, 6 April
heatherr, was soo worried abt u! Glad you are back home from the hospital, we thought u'd surely delivered. Im glad it was all okay after your hosptial visits, Im sure you are ready to have emma in your arms and just get out of bed once and for all! Take care and hugs, another week now....
