I am so excited to be having more babies! We have been praying for twins, so I can't wait to see what God's answer is. I go back to the doctor tomorrow to get my hormone levels checked. We lost a baby in December, so they are checking things closely this time to make sure I work right I guess. So far so good. I know everything will work perfectly this time. Can't wait till time to feel the babies move.

Went to the doctor today for the second round of bloodwork to test my homone levels. They said that they more than doubled and that everything seem great! YAY! I go to my 8 week appt. and get an ultrasound on March 7th. Can't wait to see my baby(s).

Feeling little waves of nausea and REALLY tired. MY BOOBS HURT! I have had a sinus problem for about 2 weeks now. That is keeping me awake all night. I'm finished complaining now but will be very happy when the sinus thing goes away. The doc just called in an antibiotic. Nervous about taking it but they said it was okay. Can't wait till time to have the u/s.

I woke up feeling pretty good this morning. I actually ate breakfast without gagging. (very picky about what i chose to eat though) I told my husband that I have actually been eating less since getting pregnant. Hard to eat when you gag thinking about food though. He told me I better feed his baby(s). I have been feeling moody lately but the last couple of days, I have been getting more lovey dovey towards my hubby. He is trying so hard to make things easier for me. Thankful God gave me the husband I have!

Oh the nausea! OH OH OH THE NAUSEA! And I am so tired.

Well, I have had a migraine since yesterday afternoon and the only medicine I can take is not really helping. I have 2 bulging discs in my neck and it feels like it began from that. I have had 2 massages in 2 days (perk if being a massage therapist i guess) and it has not touched the headache. Oh how I want my beloved imitrex shot. I would be good as new in a half hour if only I could take it. On a good note, the nausea has lightened up. AT LEAST FOR NOW. I choose to believe it is finished. I feel like a compainer. Anyone else share those feelings? I can't help it. I JUST FEEL LIKE POO! Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Had my first u/s today. It was a bit uncomfortable but worth it. We saw the baby. YAY! God has blessed us with one this time. I am very blessed and thankful. We saw the heartbeat. It was beautiful. I loved seeing that heartbeat. My husband made me feel good, he saw that I seemed uncomfortable and he kept asking if I was okay. I don't know why that means so much, he is just usually the kind to say, "Your alright, your tough" and to see him concerned about my comfort meant a lot. I get another u/s on May the 29th. That visit should tell us boy or girl. But I am just gonna go ahead and say that we feel strongly that the baby is a boy. Still having some nausea, sleepy all the time. I have 2 discs in my neck that are bulging and they bother me almost constantly lately, the midwife told me that it was definately related to being pregnant. That that can flare it up, so that is wonderful, but God will help me through. He always does.

Here is our little jellybean! Taken on March 7th. YAY!

haven't gotten results yet on the thyroid thing but i told the devil last night that he is a liar and there is nothing wrong with my thyroid and i will not receive his lie. I am so happy that i got another u/s, it is amazing how much the baby looks like a baby now. In just two weeks difference he/she had changed SO much. I keep thinking I feel little things, maybe the baby. I don't think it's gas, it feels different from that. Can't wait till I can put my hand on my belly and feel it.

3/28/08

feeling much better now, i can't do as many massages as usual without being SOOO exhausted. My body literally will not let me do as many, if I try, i end up hurting or getting a migraine. Crazy! I have had to slow down and it's hard when you have a business to run and you hate to turn down clients, bills bills bills to pay. Oh well, I will get through it. I know it is early but I am sure I have felt the baby. Little tiny flutters.

been a while since i updated on my page. feeling pretty good, i heard the heartbeat for the 1st time today. it was 150 bpm. doc said that is a good strong heartbeat. loved that sound. she used my doppler so i will go home tonight and listen some more. i haven't been able to find it so today was a relief. i fell yesterday morning flat on my butt, that was a little scary so the hb was a welcome sound. not really having any nausea very often anymore. only occasionally. thank God. definately showing now.

4/20/08

Richard and I found the heartbeat with our doppler a couple of times this week, I love having our own doppler. Hopefully i will find out the sex on tuesday. my friend is doing an u/s for us. I was dreaming last night that my stomach was hurting really bad and i woke up and it really did feel horrible, i was up most of theinight with it, and it kept hurting into the day. no clue why. still feels a little yucky but not as bad. looking foward to a good week, praying for no headaches this week.

4/22/08

ITS A BOY! YES! HAD MY U/S TODAY AND 3 TECH'S SAID IT IS A BOY!

5/28/08

I HAD ANOTHER U/S TODAY! NEW RESULTS, BABY IS NOW A GIRL! HERE COMES EMMA!

6/14/08

I am so happy that the morning sickness and headaches have been gone for a while now, now I just feel normal and but just overweight. Emma has been moving around like crazy. I love it!

7/16/08

It has been a WHILE since I have updated my page, I guess I feel bored because I have been pregnant for so long! Emma is doing great, i go for my 28 week check next wednesday and for my glucose test. Oh boy, can't wait to drink that nasty orange drink! Can't wait to hit 39 weeks so we can meet our new little lady! It should be interesting having 2 princesses in the house now instead of our Lauren being the one and only! She told my mom the other night that she thought we might love Emma more than her and I thought I would cry. I would never love one child more than the other. I love MY LAUREN so much I could not stand that she would be worried about that.

7/31/08

Emma is on the move! I have heartburn really bad right now...My stomach looks like an amusement park ride is going on inside. Only 10 weeks to go. October 9th is the delivery date we scheduled for the c-section! Its is coming soon! We sold our house on Tuesday and are trying to be moved out and in our new house by tomorrow night. Almost done!

9/1/08

YAY! My anniversary is in 4 more days! I love my hubby! We got married at the courthouse and then on our two year anniversary we had our church wedding. It was awesome. we got married on 9/5 and renewed our vows on 9/3 two years later. I would marry him again every year if we had the money. Baby is still VERY ACTIVE, she is getting the hiccups ALOT! I am a little worried at how often it happens, sometimes 4 or 5 times a day and 7 or 8 times a day a few times. I will be asking my midwife about it on next weeks appt. Still can't decide about whether to call her Emma or Lily. I have been having A Bunch of swelling in my ankles and feet. My husband presses them and finger imprint stays!!! Ugh! Not much longer though, about 40 more days till c-section.

I am so ready for this new little lady to be in my arms. The only reason i am continuing to be patient is because my parents still haven't moved out yet. (we are buying their house) We are going on 2 full months now and i haven't even slept in the same bed with my husband since we moved. My parents are still staying in the master bedroom and none of the other beds will hold us both. INSANE! I miss him soo much at night, just being able to put my foot on his foot and know we are together. Argh! I broke down last wednesday, i am just soo sick of the cohabitation, my mom is awesome, but i am SOOOO OVER living with her again. It ain't right! By the time i got to the doc last wed. my bp had shot up to 130/ something. I always have reallylow bp, so that was crazy, i was shaking and as soon as the nurse asked what was going on with my bp, i burst in to tears and spilled the beans about why i was so upset, i had talked to my sister and she had told me that they were secretly stalling leaving on purpose because they think i need the help, I DON'T, MY MOM MAKES ME A NERVOUSE WRECK! She is the poop and pee monitor, one awkward move on the babies part and she tries to say something like , oh something isn't right, I told my sis i would stay in a hotel when the baby was born if they still hadn't moved and that if they wanted to offer their assistance after the baby is born , then it should be asked if it was wanted, not just thrown at me, besides, i want to sleep in teh same bed with my husband, and be unpacked (we have lived in boxes for 2 months), all of you out there know how much the nesting instinct is and i can't even do that. what am i gonna do, put the boxes in a new stack each day?? My sister told my dad how upset i was and he called and said they would be out by the weekend, but today is Monday, and we still all live together sooo........Less than 2 weeks before she will be here and I can't even relax or unpack in my own home.
