May 11th
Today I'm 9 wks and 3 days preg,i feel lucky b/c everything is being good,well besides all the nauseas,hunger and the back pain I've been getting lately,i know I will survive.I'm just really scared of a m/c .my first appt was last week but when we got to the clinic it was closed,I was really mad,so we set another appt for the 21th this month. I can't wait,but I've heared that German doctors are really different than USA doctors,and not in a good way,so I have to be prepared for everything.wish me luck on that...
May 12th
I'm just hating today,as normal I can't eat,I'm hungry but just nothing seems to be good and I don't want anything,and to makes it worse I have to cook lunch... I just wish I have someone to cook for me,also this got me worried about my baby b/c if I don't eat,either my baby will and I feel guilty,but I've been eating strawberries and grapes,those are always good,well,I better go and start lunch before gets later,talk to you all soon,God bless.
may 18
i wonder why i'm craving most for veggies and fruits,any kind of meat gross me out,somehow i guess is good to have more healty food,nauseas are still there and the ugly gagging thing I can't wait to get over it.Other thing i would like to know if happend to someone else it's why even long before i got pregnant i always dreamed with having a girl or already have a grown daugther,and i feel like its a girl but i still want to think is a boy,because it's runs in my family and my husband's family that everybody always have boys first,and i don't think we can't stop that circle,i can't wait to find out what it is,i know that no matter what is going to be a beautiful baby that is going to make us happy and proud parents...
92 % chance of having a girl
And you have a 69% chance of having a girl.
And Here's Why...
You are carrying the extra weight around the hips and bottom, so it's a girl.
The hair on your legs is not growing any faster during your preganacy, so it's a girl.
Boys are carried low. You are going to have a boy.
Sleeping in a bed with your pillow to the south indicates that you will be having a girl.
Your feet are not colder than they were before pregnancy. You are having a girl.
You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread. You are having a girl.
Dad-to-be is gaining weight right along with Mom-to-be, which means that you'll have a boy.
The maternal grandmother doesn't have gray hair (dyed or natural), so a girl will be born.
You had morning sickness early in pregnancy, so you are expecting a girl.
You are not looking particularly good during pregnancy. Therefore, it must be a girl, because girls steal their mother's looks.
Your chest development has been quite dramatic during pregnancy. You should expect a girl.
Since the sum of the mother's age at conception and the number of the month of conception is even, it will be a boy.
A needle on a thread held over your belly moves in circles, so you will have a boy.
Your urine is a dull yellow color, so you will have a girl.
You have a craving for salty or sour foods, which means that it is a boy.
Your nose hasn't changed during pregnancy, which indicates a girl.
You have been craving fruits, so it is a girl.
Your baby's heart rate is 140 or more beats per minute, so it's a girl.
You must have orange juice every day, so it's a girl.
You are having headaches, so it's a boy.
Your belly looks like a watermelon, so it's a girl.
You show them the palm of your hand, so it's a girl.
You use the handle, so it's a boy.
I'm 11 wks and 1 day today,i'm felling good,can't complain,i'm just hungry all the time but that's how it is supposed to be.
I had my first appt with the OB/GYN on monday and it went better than what i was expecting,they took my blood and i got to see my lil penaut,looking good and moving a lot,turning around,kicking,and waving(does that could be b/c it's a boy or a girl?),it was really cute,the Dra.told me that it look fine and i'm going to see her on jun 4th again.She gave me a picture of the scan but i don't have it on the computer yet.i'll put it up soon.
My belly is starting to come out,my sister is 2 wks ahead of me and we are about the same size bumps,how cute.well i think that's all for now,i hope everyone is feeling good.
I'm 12 weeks now,for some people it's the line of safety from a m/c but i know it's not like that,i have read so many stories about ladys contracting and loosing their babies at 20,21,25 weeks it's scarry because Doctors can't safe a baby that premature,so to me the safety line is 28 weeks... I still feel lucky duh! I haven't have any complications or at least nothing big to worry about.My belly is really getting big I told my husband that i feel huge haha,just wait to see what's around the corner waiting for me,I'm a short girl and if I get to big I'm afraid of loosing balance :op... Everything else is still the same,hungry all the time and gagging <= hate it... but hey !!! sicker the mommi healtier the baby,i read that in someone else VIP page hehe... I just want the healties baby i could have... i guess we all do,that's why i wish you all the best of the best...
memorial day 07jun 9
Well,the last 2 weeks haven't been the best,and i just wonder when i'm going to be over this sickness,i realize that my prenatal vitamins were making me sick so i stop taking them,but i still feel sick,i'm afraid to hurt my baby with all my sickness,i would like to know if someone whos 13 weeks or more is still feeling sick because i have the feeling that to me it's going to last the whole pregnancy,but i need some hope that it wont...This week i'm going to be alone,my husband is gone for 9 days training,booo.I went monday to see my Dr.she is really nice and i like her but she isn't answering my questions,i asked her for my baby's heart rate,and she only said "it's ok" but that's good enough,i guess when i get back to the states and see a Dr. there,i will know,i got an U/S done =) i saw my baby again,i think this time she/he was sleeping because wasn't moving to much like the first time.I'm going to get some to eat,till next time...
Jun14
Hello friends!!! 14 weeks now,seems like is going fast but i'm still thinking that it just started but the 1st part is over,im still suffering from sickness,but doing better the last couple of days,really hungry that's all.And I'm not taking the vitamins that were making me so sick,I just hope it wont afect my baby I will take them again when I get a different kind that wont make me sick,I quit looking for names till I founf out what I'm having,less work just to think about one gender name :p.And soon I have to start getting ready to go back to the States,that's going to be really hard to leave my husband knowing all the things I'm going to go throught without him,i don't even know how he feels about it we haven't talk,but we will... Back @ home everybody can't wait to see me,it's going to be exciting and i have to be positive,for my baby and enjoy the last part of my pregnancy no matter what...Next tuesday i have an appt,I keep yall post.
jun 28th
Not much to add right now,I've been feeling better lately,I even started takinn the vitamins that made me sick before but now their not that bad and I'm also eating better,the bad part is at night,is getting hard to get confortable,I have to sleep on my side and i hate it.Tomorrow I'm going to see my Dr. again,she is going to try to find out what we are having and I'm scare to know whos mommis I'm going to be,everyone think is a girl I don't want to think about it;My sister just found out yesterday that she is having a girl and she is really happy,since she already have a boy (my nephew Andy,3 y/o,cutest boy alive) she is 2 weeks and 2 days ahead of me and everyone thought she was going to have a boy again.Well i'm going go for now,come back tomorrow to let the world know the news ok!! baby dust to every1!!!
jun 29th
Just came from the Dr.,everything is fine she said,and that's what matters!! The only thing is that my baby didn't let us see what's going to be =( and I was so excited and nervous,all for nothing,oh well maybe next time!! I have to go back next week for a blood test,I'm low in sodium and high in sugar!!! :-s .Will see,let you all know later ok!!! blessings for ever1!!!
july 15th
Hi again!!,just a few short lines to tell how I'm doing lately... Very well,hehe!! heaches,some little nausea,nothing big,I'm doing alot better than what i was,just sad because my day of leaving is getting closer and closer;About my baby,it's fine my Dr. said it has everything it has to have for now,the only thing is that we still don't know what it is,after 3 tries baby has legs cross and ombilical cord between legs,oh weel,next appt in 2 weeks,i'll be 20wks so hopefuly we will find out that day...Anyways i think 16,17 and 18wks is too soon to find out,Another good thing is that we finally have names ready,well just first names but the rest is easier,I'm just not telling yet what are they,hehe sorry,I will come back with the news later ok...happy day to everyone who read this....
july 26th
My todays update,I'm 20 weeks and 1 day,I'm feeling really good the last weeks,no more sickness,I just hope they wont come back,and I'm gaining some weight too,good,my baby moves,not alot but I guess is because sleeps a lot hehe!! I still don't know what it is,I was suppoused to find out today but a missunderstood happend at the clinic,when the Dr. ask me,"Do you want to know what the child is going to be" and I said "YES,it's a boy" I think she thought i said that because I already know,But I don't know for sure it's only what I think it is,and she didn't do me the U/S...I'm like 60% a boy and 40% a girl,but let see what happend next week;My time to start packing and getting ready to go back to the States is here,I can't believe how fast time is going...Oh well,is really late here and I'm tired I'm going to sleep now and post some more later ok!!! good luck people...
Aug 4th
Week 21+3d,everything is going well,I'm now 5 pounds more than when I started my pregnancy,that's because I loose some weight at the beging,but I'm good now.The good news it the Thursday we find out that 
, I just couldn't believe it,We broke the tradition "boys first" in both sides of our families,and she will be my mother-in-law's first grand-daugther YAY,I really wanted to have a girl,and my husband is really happy about it too,her name is going to be SIENNA something,still working on the middle name.What makes this happy time not so happy is that I'm leaving to the States on monday 6th,leaving my husband to not see him again till next year,how bad is that? more than I can stand!!! I really need to be strong for my baby and for the rest of us,Getting ready to leave is being a pain a really big pain in the butt and a lot of money,money that I could use on baby stuff,hehe,but I guess everything has a price and if a want to spend the rest of my pregnancy with my family and friends I have to pay that price.I just hope that God is going to keep us all healthy and bring my little family all together soon again.So I'm going to go for now,next time I get on here I will be in the States,They are so happy waiting for us,(Paige,baby and I).wish me luck...Talk you all soon...XOXO
Aug 11th
I'm back to the States,it's weird,i really miss my husband,my apartment,my stuff and even the little town,but here i have my mom my sister,niece,nephew and rest of the family and everybody is so happy that we are here,I'm getting so much atention that i don't even know what to do with myself,my mom wants to do everything for me,it's nice,hehe...Paige is doing good,she has a big back yard here to run free,but she doesn't like it too much because is really hot outside.We are getting ready stuff for my room which is the baby's room too and thinking about the baby shower,it's going to be so much fun,I can't wait,Sienna is doing ok,I think she didn't like flying,she was getting upset in the plains (3 different) too much walking,too much sitting,but we are done with that,it was really extressing!!! My husband is ok where he's at right now,he called me yesterday I really really miss him but I don't want to get upset about it,there's nothing I can change getting upset and is not good for my baby...Well my back is killing me and I'm going to take a little nap,Updates,another day.Peace out...
Aug 30th
just a little note to update,since I haven't in a long time,but everything is fine,I'm 25 wks and 1d today,I'm gaining weight,7 lbs in the last 3 weeks,I don't know why only 7 if I have been eating a lot,but I feel really good,just my skin hurst sometimes from the streching,i took my belly ring off =( but not strech marks .I haven't see the Dr yet but I have my first appt on sept 12th,can't wait to see what the Dr is going to say,My husband is fine he call me a couple times a weeks but always keep in contact online,i really miss him.Sienna is doing good,she's moving more and more everyday it's cute,I can see her from the outside =),well I don't know what else to say so I'm going to go and come to update after my appt.good luck and see you all soon...
Oct 10th
I can't believe again how fast time is going and I haven't update my page,well I did but the little worm erased my last update.so here's the latest.I went to my fist appt and the Dr found everything good and normal,she gave me another appt 2 weeks later for an U/S,2 weeks went by and had my U/S and surprise,surprise,my little girl was gone,the tec asked me,"who told you this was a girl??" what I felt right there was like a pinch in my stomach and my heart,I said,"my Dr in Germany" and she said "No,This is a boy",WHAT???, How that happend???... but It didn't surprise me very much,something was telling me to make sure before I start to get pink stuff,I got a few things but always keep the bill just in case.It's been hard to acept it,I know boys are cute and fun too, but after so long thinking it was a girl and dreaming of her, It just feel like someone took my daughter away from me,I don't understand how my other Dr. didn't see it from the begining but...Now I'm working on my son's welcome party,I'm just praying he is healty I know he is going to be beautiful,and he's going to make my husband and I very happy and proud,we are still working on his name,I will come back later with more updates but i have to go now.
Oct 27th
My baby has hicups right now,it's a funny feeling but I hope wont be for long... So!!! how is it going lately... I slow down with the salt and my feets are doing so much better,I have gained 25 lbs since the begining,baby is as normal as it should be,getting heavier but it's ok,I know I'm going to miss a lot being pregnant.I still find hard to believe that I am having a boy,I'm waiting for the big day to be 100% sure that it's a boy,baby shower is next weekend and I'm not going to wash anything till baby is born,maybe a few yellow,green and white things just in case,we still haven't choose a name,how frustrating is that...But no matter what I'm sure I'm going to be happy,I'm getting mentaly ready for all those sleepless nights and all the crying,boy or girl I'm going to love my baby more that I can even imagine right now... button line everything is good,I just wish my husband could be here to experience all of this with me,it's not fear for him to be so far... I love him soo much,he's been really good to me even when he's so far.
Nov 6th
What can I say?? I had my baby shower last sunday and it was just fabulous,everything came out as I wanted, My mom and my sisters help a lot I couldn't have done it without them but I was the monster mind behind it hehe... I got a lot of stuff,the most important stuff,it was worth it,my husband was really happy too even that he's where he's at,baby can come out any time he want now,extremely exciting I guess I can say now that he's name is going to be *[::Ryan Alexander ::]*, Ryan is my husband middle name and Alexander is just a name that I like a lot, I think that's a strong name that doesn't get old and he's going to go really far in life with that name. Tomorrow I have an U/S I think will be the last one,Dr want to make sure the baby is growing as it should,and after that I will get check up I'm hoping everything comes out good,Dr said after 35 weeks is ok for the baby to come out,but I still want to keep him in till at least till week 38. I can't believe I'm so close to the end,I'm going to miss soo soo soo much being pregnant,my belly,and feel my baby kicking =(,but I know what's coming is very exciting and soon 2009 will be here,that's when I'm planing to get pregnant again =). My sister is now 37 weeks and 3 cms dilatated,her bags are packed ready to go!!! she's nervous duhg.Well check out the pictures I will put some more later,take care and stay healthy.good luck to all of you...cambio y fuera!!!
Nov. 23th
Well I'm here just to tell that I'm at the hospital to support my sister that is having her baby girl *[:Jaeda:]* probably tonight,we have been waiting for these day for to long,she is already 4 cms dilated and so ready to not be pregnant anymore,right now it's 11:35pm and my mom,my sister and I are waiting on the lobby to go up to her room,We just hope that it's going to go smooth but quick,I'm so happy,I'm having my baby in these same hospital so Im looking around to get Familiar with it hehe,I'm next ...just a couple of weeks to see my little guy,how cute.Well besides that I'm doing good lately just all the pains that a pregnant woman always have at 38 weeks,I'm having an U/S next week because the Dr wants to check on the size of my baby... but I know everything is perfect,I'm already 2 cms dilated and baby Ryan is moving alot,His room is al done just waiting on him,I just wish my husband were here to experience all this with us,I love him sooo much!!! Well I'm going to go for now and come back with my sister's story later,wish you all the best...

Nov 25th
Well, I'm proud here to say that I had a new niece,yesterday,Sat 24th @10:24am,7lb 01oz,healthy as she can be and so so beautiful,so perfect I just hope that my baby will come as good good as she did,I was in the delivery room,next to my sister video taping,yeah 2nd time I do that job,delivery was really quick,she dilated from 5cms to 10 in less than 2 hours,pushed 3 times and Jaeda was out,It looked painful,even when she had the epidoral she said she felt so stretching and burning down there,make me wonder if I'm going to be able to push like that,I hope so,to get over it that fast.Now next coming week I have to get my bags pack with my stuff and baby's stuff,and do the finals touches in the room,my mom thinks that my turn is next week,I still can't believe it I'm going to have a baby in just a few days,this chapter of my life went way to fast... So,talk to you all soon,best wishes to everyone....
Congratulations to the moms of the new generations of babies on the way,best wishes to all of you!!!

baby #2 may be on the way
so,here's what happend,I had Ryan on Dec.06.07,i got my period back 2 months later,normal period,was light and last only 3 days like it used to be before pregnancy,I knew my husband was coming for his R&R on jun so i started birth control pills on may,i finished the first package like 2 days before my husband got here,but i never got my period,i kept taking the pills till the day left,i was supposed to get my period after i stop taking the pills? I havent take the pill for 12 days already and still no period!!! What is that about??? Only once i forgot to take the pill,I like AF is coming any time soon, i bought a HPT but i don't want to take it yet,I will wait till friday
8/31/08
I mean to update this site a long time ago to anounce that I'n NOT pregnant BOOOOOOOOO, AF showed up 4 wks and 3 d late,well it's actually better this way hehe,but i was getting really excited about being pregnant again,but in the other hand i think is better because Ryan is still to little and he needs me 100% of the time,but after thinking about it a lot i would like to start TTC next summer,I havent talk to my husband about it yet but we will see I if its the right time then it will happen and if not it will come later. Ryan is doing good,not crawling yet,not theeths,sleeping well,he say Mah that's all so far,He's almost 9 months old!!! My little boy is now a big boy who demands a lot of attention,he loves to go out,for walks,to the church,the mall,wal*mart,any place that has people!!! and loves to watch his baby einstein dvds,eats solids at least 3 times a day,well I can keep talking and talking about Ryan but i dont want to make this too long,i will go for now and update again in a few week,s hope everything is good with everyone !
9/12/08
Ryan has a walker now and he learned to use it so fast is funny,I love to watching going around the house,after my poor Paige most of the times,We had his 9 months check up this week and he was 18.10 lbs and 28 3/4 in long and doing good wich is great,he's not crawling but I think he never will. We're really happy because my husband is coming home from Iraq very soon and we are going back to Germany,so I'm really happy and excited to finally have my family reunited,My only consern is the cold weather,Ryan is not use to that cold and I'm afraid he can get sick very back.. Let's hope he wont.For now he's a little video of him walking around the house,It's so freaking cute...

CallieGirl - Thursday, 2 Aug
I kind of want a girl this time, a couple of my friends have girls and they are so cute with all their girl stuff I just think it would be so fun, but my hubby wants another boy so our son has a play mate. That is a really cute name. I think naming them is the hardest part!
eropac - Thursday, 2 Aug
Same w/ me, my little girl doesn't move around a lot, but when she does, it's amazing! Any names picked out?
Vivian - Thursday, 2 Aug
thats awesome. i wish i had an ultrasound all the time. i get to hear the heartbeat, which is cute- but i really wanna see her more often!! :) are you getting a 3d ultrasound?
CallieGirl - Thursday, 2 Aug
I've done some of the silly gender predictors too and they say I am having a girl, I wish I could find out!!! It practically drives you crazy waiting uh? I still have a few weeks though, but congrats on your girl, how super exciting! Do you have any names picked out yet?
eropac - Thursday, 2 Aug
Congrats on the girl! I'm so excited for you :) It just makes it feel so much more real, doesn't it? Have you felt her moving around a lot lately?

lucy18 - Tuesday, 31 Jul

07babe - Tuesday, 31 Jul
that has to be crazy calling them alot. lol. But I'm doing good, going in for an U/s to see my little bean tomorrow.. I feel so good im not throwing up or feeling sick anymore.. just more tireder lol. im doing great though.
07babe - Tuesday, 31 Jul
hey, How are you doing?
eropac - Tuesday, 31 Jul
I bet you're having a girl, she's already being a little lady by crossing her legs! I absolutely love the name Ava, but the hubby isn't too fond of it. But I'm not giving up! Good luck on Thursday!
eropac - Tuesday, 31 Jul
You know, we almost weren't able to find out. During the ultrasound she was curled up in a little ball laying sideways in my tummy w/ her legs crossed, so I moved to one side and then the other to get her to move, finally she opened up enough for the tech to determine she was a girl. I've heard you should eat something sugary 20 minutes before so the baby is more active during the u/s. Good luck and let me know as soon as you find out!
eropac - Tuesday, 31 Jul
Thanks! Yes, we are having a little girl. I am so excited. Are you finding out soon?
