Joey and I met when I was 16 and he was 17. We got married 6 years later on May 20, 2006. We have been married for almost 5 years and are very happy together. We are both from Baton Rouge, Louisiana but we moved to Orlando, Florida 3 months after getting married because Joey got a job at Disney World. When Alexis was 3 months old, we moved back to Baton Rouge to be closer to family. Now we are building our and it should be finished February 10th.

Alexis Maryann
She was born on 9/3/09 after 27 miserable hours of labor. She is so happy and healthy! She runs all over the place and plays. She is such a happy, smiley girl and I love her so much!!!!!! I couldn't imagine a baby being more fun than she is. She has 7 teeth and is no longer eating baby food. She eats whatever we eat and loves food. Her favorite show is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Pregnancy # 2
We just found out we are expecting baby # 2. I found out on October 9, 2010. I'm due June 21, 2011 according to the wheel. I guess we will see what the doctor says. This was so unexpected but it's going to be great and I can't wait!!!
As it turns out, I had a very early miscarriage and won't be having another baby right now :(.
*Important Dates*
September 14th, 2010- First day of LMP
September 28th, 2010- Scheduled Ovulation Day; BD'ed 9//25-9/27 (not realizing I was fertile)
October 9th, 2010- Starting getting "baby brain" and unable to think about anything but baby stuff. Daydreaming about nurseries and baby clothes and that kinda thing. Went to walmart to get milk for Alexis and a pregnancy test. Took the test in the bathroom at walmart and it said no immediately after. Didn't think anything of it. Got in my car and looked again--it was positive! I was shaking all the way to get my DH from MIL's house. Told MIL first since she was the first person I saw. When DH came out the bathroom I just handed him the test. He laughed and hugged me and said it would be ok. Called my mom and told her. I was still freaking out and not so excited. I felt like I hadn't had enough time to get to know my first baby and that I wasn't going to be able to love both of them enough.
October 10th, 2010- Bought a digital pregnancy test. It clearly said "pregnant" Now I'm super excited and can't wait to have another baby!!
October 21st, 2010- Started bleeding and having small clotting. Had blood work done.
October 22nd, 2010- Still bleeding and slight cramping. Got a call from the nurse saying I was never really pregnant and that I had a chemical pregnancy. After doing some research, I learned that I was actually pregnant but just had a very early miscarriage and that most of the time they just say chemical pregnancy in order to avoid telling the patient they had a very early miscarriage.

Pregnancy # 3
We just found out we are expecting again. I found out on December 19, 2010. I'm due August 28, 2011 according to the wheel. This one was unexpected and we weren't planning it. We had planned to wait until after our house was finished and we were settled but the house will be done February 10. I'm SOOOO excited but I am nervous too because of the previous loss. I feel like this one is going to stick though. I'm having more symptoms than last time.
*Important Dates*
November 21, 2010- First day of LMP
December 8th, 2010- Scheduled Ovulation Day; BD'ed 12/1/10, 12/2/10, 12/11/10 to try to avoid getting pregnant. This is going by the period tracker on my iphone. I think the ovulation day was wrong this month though, because with Lexi and the other pregnancy, it was exactly 14 days after the first day of LMP. This would have made it December 5th. Sperm live for 5 days so there you go!!
December 19th, 2010- Starting getting "baby brain". Went to sleep at 8pm on Friday and Saturday. Had to take a nap today but I NEVER nap. I was so tired! I've been tired, thirsty, hungry, and craving milk. I hardly ever drink milk. Told DH that I had a feeling (even though I'm AF isn't supposed to come for 3 days) and he wanted me to wait until after AF didn't show. I said no I have a feeling, trust me on this. Went to walmart and got groceries and a test. Came home and sent DH out to the car to get the groceries and took the test while he was out. When he came back in I handed it to him and told him "I know you didn't want me to do it now but I know" and as soon as we looked at it, it was positive!!!!
January 10, 2011: Today was our first ultrasound and doctor visit for baby number 2. The baby's heartbeat was 152bpm and everything looked great!
It finally made it more real. The appointment was very short though and only last about 5 minutes. We got to hear the heartbeat for maybe 5 seconds. It was kinda disappointing that we didn't get to see our little baby longer but I guess she was in a hurry. I also had the first pap smear today which was very uncomfortable, yuck! I don't remember them every being so crampy before. Dr. Willett and I discussed the possibility of a c-section this time because of Alexis getting stuck during delivery. She said we are going to monitor this baby's weight and see. If the baby is any bigger than Lexi was, more than likely I will have a c-section. She did say that I have the choice of just going ahead and planning for a c-section but I'm not sure if that's what I want to do. Call me crazy but I do want to go into labor on my own, I think. I have the other option of seeing how labor goes and if things aren't working out, go for the c-section. I told her how afraid I am because of the failed epidural and failed spinal block with Lexi. She promised me that the anesthesiologists are the best there and if I still have problems, I can go with the IV meds. I had IV meds with Lexi and was so drugged up that I didn't even want to hold her.
