IT'S A BOY!!

pregnancy

Well this is our story.... Dan and I met at the beginning of your senior year of high school. It was like the moment I met him I knew there was something special there. We started dating in Oct of that year and have been together ever since. He proposed to me on our 1 year anniversary. We had said that we were going to wait a few years before getting married and finish up school but things changed in January of this year. We hadnt exactly been trying for a baby but we hadnt exactly been preventing it either. I found out I was pregnant on January 10th. I was somewhat shocked at first I really didnt know what to think. I told Dan that night when he got home from work. He was excited. I dont think he believed me at first. But as soon as it sunk in, he wanted to tell everyone. Because I had already bought my wedding dress and the wedding was already so close, we decided to move up the wedding date to March. It was amazing. Everything worked out perfectly. So its been a really big year for the both of us. Marriage, baby on the way, new apartment, and I will be graduating from college. We are both so excited for the baby . We are having a little boy. When Dan saw the baby on the ultrasound he looked so happy. He said he didnt care what the sex was but I could tell he really really wanted a boy. And so did I.

Good luck to all you first time mommies.

June 27 2008 - 28.6 weeks - I am geting so excited. So last weekend we had a little scare. I thought that there might be some amniotic fluid leaking and so my doctor told me to go the the hospital. They did alot of tests and it turned out to be all normal. The only thing is the nurse said that my cervix is thinning? I dont really know what this means but we will see what happens when we go back to the doctor on July 9th. We almost have the baby's room done. I just need to make some curtains and my dad is refinishing a dresser and then we will be done. I cant wait till my baby shower next month. The hubby wants to put most of it together. he says he wants to be a part of it so I think that is a really good idea. He is even inviting his friends so it will be a coed shower!!! It will be very interesting.

28 weeks!!

I love him sooooo much!!!!!!

July 9, 2008

So today I went for my 30 week doctors appt. I gained sooo much weight. At my last appt. I only gained one pound and I gained alot more this time. My doctor seems to think I am gaining the right amount of weight but I just feel like a cow!! She said that I am measuring just about right for how far along I am. We really wanted to do a 3D ultrasound and the doctor told us that it would need to be done in the next week or else the baby will be too big to get good pictures. The only time they had available was for this afternoon. So now I am headed back up there in a couple hours....my job isnt too happy about all the time I am taking off but oh well its worth it. I will post the pictures later :)

Only a couple more weeks until the baby shower.... I am so anxious. I have been holding off to buy alot of stuff until the shower is over so hopefully we will get alot of what we registered for.

UPDATE* we waited too long to get the 3D :( The lady doing the ultrasound couldnt get any good pictures. So they didnt charge us, thank god. Oh well only a little bit longer until we get to see him anyways!!!!

mommy-allie - Tuesday, 16 September
how are you? any news on an induction date?


LindsayandJohn - Monday, 15 September
Good Luck! I'm so glad to hear the progress. I have an appointment tomorrow. Hopefully they tell me some good news. A couple of times I thought I was going in, but they always are 6 mins apart for hours then it goes back up to 8 all day. I called the doc and she says not to go in yet. Tonight is a full moon! Hopefully you won't have to be induced! Good luck! Let me know how your doing and when that little one is coming! :)


mommy-allie - Monday, 15 September
Happy due date! Still pregnant?? I am! I can't wait until thu... unless she comes on her own...


jayrodmarie22 - Friday, 12 September
Just wanted to thank everyone for the great advice it is greatly appreciated xox Jay


LindsayandJohn - Thursday, 11 September
Any progress?? I went into the docters on tues. with the expectation of nothing. I didn't want to get my hopes up. When she told me I was 1.5 cm I was shocked. But so happy that the pain I have been experiencing is actually paying off. But my luck I will stay like this until I have to get enduced. I hope you have better luck!


arismomma5 - Thursday, 11 September
Isn't it exciting? I was thinking about it all the other day and I actually started to get nervous! I will be giving birth soon and reality hit me! Noooo, I wasn't in denial before but I went through this once before and to go through it again, is just WOW!!! I'm looking forward to it too because my husband and I are very anxious to see who she looks like and what she looks like...Well, I wish you a fast delivery and faster recovery...Keep me posted!!!


mommy-allie - Thursday, 11 September
im 1 cm and he tried to stretch me today... i dont think it helped... i was supposed to get induced tue but they said the hospital is full so i go in thu at 9am... im sure shes not coming before then...lol


arismomma5 - Wednesday, 10 September
YES YES YES!!! I'm super excited and at this point I want her here with us already...It feels like forever...For the most part, I love being pregnant, but I haven't been able to sleep and have been so cranky and irritable that it's time for her to make her presence known!!! How are you holding up? Hope all is well...Keep me posted!!!


BlydansMommy - Monday, 8 September
I know! I've been doing lots of walking, having sex, eating eggplant, eating spicy food. LEt's hope something comes from it. Since we're doing an all natural birth, the sooner the better. The longer he's in there, the bigger he gets and the worse I think it might be...haha. I really hope he comes soon!! Hope you have a good week!


m0th3r2b - Monday, 8 September
Oh you're in week 39 now! OKay thanks for the tips on what else I should pack in my maternity bag. I added another pair of pants and a t-shirt as well as a tank top. I'd rather have too much stuff than not enough. DH totally disagrees lol. xx


mommy-allie - Monday, 8 September
mine is wed too... hopefullly were both closer! im going to ask if i can be induced a week from wed if i dont have her by then and since shes bigger than we thought hopefully my doctor will go for it! good luck!


fyrefly - Monday, 8 September
Hey :) Things are going good.... except the pain and discomfort part :) How are things with you? Only 6 (ish) days to go! How exciting... It seems like we've been pregnant for ever, and now that there are only days left, it's really strange. I'm caught between wanting to go into labour right now, and wanting to stay pregnant for a little while longer so that nothing has to change.... I think wanting to go into labour is winning that internal battle though :) I can't wait to meet him.... just nervous about how it's going to affect my first born..... blah! too much thinking, I should get back to work :) Make sure you post your birth story when you get time.... I love reading every bodies experiences :) Good luck!


SMiller - Sunday, 7 September
Baby Miller Update: Well had my first scare very early this morning about 12am. I had some bleeding and Brandon took me over to the Naval Hospital Emergency room. I had several people say a number of things could have caused it so the best thing to do is wait, and that I could lose the baby- what a way to make me feel good right. I mean I know its possible, but to hear someone say it. And I also have a UTI, but they said some women can't feel it, and they gave me some medicine. But the positive thing is they looked at the baby and the heart beat and it looked good. It really set in to see the baby, it looked like a shrimp. I love this baby so much already. Can't wait till my appointment Tuesday.


BlydansMommy - Sunday, 7 September
Things are going pretty good, I'm just soooo ready to have him! But at the same time I'm starting to get a little scared and anxious about the whole birth process. But I just keep thinking about how I'll get to hold him as soon as it's over. How have you been???


mommy-allie - Saturday, 6 September
i was around 7 and i think just was closer to 9. im just happy shes normal bc they thought she was under 6 which was why they had me do a late ultrasound. im hoping since shes not small my doctor will induce me around my due date if i dont have her but hes out of town til my next apt so ill have to wait and see. any progree for you??


mommy-allie - Saturday, 6 September
im at 1/2 cm now.... watch out... haha, but i had an ultrasound bc they thought she was small and it turns out shes not small at all and is already 7lbs 5oz so hopefully i wont be a 42 weeker after all


mommyslilmunchkin - Friday, 5 September
OMG I just looked at your due date....you are due sooo soon WOW, I didnt notice that. Are you ahving a boy or a girl??


mommyslilmunchkin - Friday, 5 September
Congrats on your marraige and your lil angel!! Too sweet how things worked out for you guys, you are so blessed and keep us posted on how your lil one is coming along. Cant wait to see her/him!!! Take care sweety


LindsayandJohn - Thursday, 4 September
I chose not to get checked until next wk. The babys head has been down for a long time now- hopefully it stays there. My doc. told me to only go to the prenatal class because I was planning on epidoral. I had to go to an epidoral class which was a big waste of time. How about you? ANy good tips?


nickee - Thursday, 4 September
I went to the Dr today and they are inducing tomorrow. I am so excited and nervous.


m0th3r2b - Thursday, 4 September
I think my maternity bag is packed. Just need to put some of hubby's clothes in but he said not to worry about him. I had the hardest time trying to figure out what clothes to take for myself and ended up buying track pants and a top so I still have full range of the few maternity clothes I have left to wear. I'm not sure if I should take more than one pair of track pants or to put in an extra large shirt for the hospital. I'm trying to figure out what I want to labour in so I can put it aside. What do you think..any advice? What did you pack for yourself as far as clothes besides underwear, bras and socks? So confusing although I know it's really not lol.


mommy-allie - Wednesday, 3 September
hows your week? any progess... i have nothing still!!! lol


nickee - Tuesday, 2 September
Oh I am feeling miserable as I am sure you are too. My feet are so swollen I can hardly walk. How are you doing? I cant believe we are almost done.


m0th3r2b - Tuesday, 2 September
Yea, same with me. I'm so ready the anticipation driving me a bit nuts. I've been so tired, I think my body needs a break. I'm looking forward to the healing process and slowly getting my body to where it used to be. I really want to start raising my son and watching him grow. I wish my body would go into labour very very soon. Good luck to us in the next weeks. I'm considering getting my membranes swept on friday to see what happens.
