My name is Lisa. I have a son, 8 & 1/2 years old. I was pregnant for him at 17. So I decided to wait to have another. I guess I didn't realize I would wait almost a decade!! hehe. On June 11th . I was expecting AF. It didn't come, and I honestly didn't pay attention because I was focused on getting through that week. I was on the ring, so pregnancy was the furthest thing from my mind, but after getting sick on the way to work, and actually thinking about it long to enough to calculate that I was a week late for AF, it dawned on me that I could be pregnant. I went home took two tests ......positive immediately. At that point, I was confused, scared a little sad and happy all at the same time, I'm sure a few of you know what thats like.

So this time around, with everything that has happened, I am a little "paranoid" worrying that everything is ok. I will keep my page updated.......I would love to hear from other women due on Valentine's Day. We can compare notes!

I am 14 weeks as of today! It feels like it has taken forever to get this far. I had a scan last monday at 13 weeks. The baby was sleeping with his/her head facing the floor. My son was there, so he tried to get the baby to move. They squirmed a little. Kind of like "I was comfortable, leave me alone! It was so cute! I also think that was the moment this became real to my son. Next scan we will be taking my boyfriends daughter, 9. She is also so excited. Her mother is also pregnant, and will be giving her a baby brother. So she will have two brand new siblings with in just a couple of months of each other! I will post baby bump pics as soon as I can get my boyfriend to take one! haha. Til' then, I will keep you all posted on the weekly boards. <3

15 weeks yesterday! This pregnancy honestly feels like it's going to be a long one. Because right now I'm impatient to feel and look pregnant, and the end I will be even more impatient wanting to meet my little one.

As far as symptoms, all of a sudden this week, I got a wave of exhaustion. I don't know if I'm not eating enough, or what, but I am sleeping atleast 12-15 hours a day! I have found myself taking 2-3 naps. It's crazy. I hope nothing is wrong. I also got this horrendous really low back pain yesterday, honestly I think it was because of my bowel issues, or lack there of...lol. <3

Apparently, I lost my last entry describing what my last u/s was like. The lady was rude and I was in there a total of 20 minutes...if that. She basically threw a pic at me and sent me on my way. It was 12:30 exactly, so you can probably guess that it was her lunch time.

Anyway, I am now 21 wks 5 days. So exciting. Jerrod finally felt him kick the other night, after many attempts, sitting and waiting. I also felt him "turn" today. It was bizarre. I was trying to listen with my doppler and he punched it! So I put my hand there and I could actually feel a limb or something move! Way cool. Then turned, kicked my stomach for awhile and turned back around (breech). I am starting to think that is his favorite position. Which worries me slightly.

Today I painted my bathroom all day. Fun. Fun. It's almost done. It needed it along with every other room in this house! I guess I should really get some belly pics up eh? Guess I'll get right on that. And hopefully I'll remember to actually update my page a little more often. <3

PS. IT'S A BOY!!!!!!

October 17, 2007

I brought my paperwork (and copied files) to my new doctors office today. The office manager called me back to today and said that he would like me to have another u/s tomorrow. Ofcourse I am not going to complain, I get to see my little guy and how much he has grown which is more than obvious judging my latest belly pics. But ofcourse I got a chance to actually read my files when they were sent to me. My son's head measure a few days small, but his limbs were a few days ahead. But anyway, as I have said many times in comments and so forth, my doctor was a quack. When I got my records, at the bottom of the page, the sonographer had written to have the u/s repeated in 4 weeks due to something, I couldn't understand it. But my doctor either read it and disregarded it, or didn't bother to read far enough down to see it. SO FRUSTRATING! So ofcourse I brought it to my new doc's office manager's attention, being that it is now 5 weeks since the u/s. She said she would call me after the doc looked it over and decided whether it was necessary or not. Apparently, he did because a half an hour later she called me back and said that he wants me to have one tomorrow! It seems like I am in better hands now, alteast I hope so.

My boyfriend and I have been fighting A LOT lately. I'm not sure if its nesting instinct or what, but I really want him home more often. The hobbies that he enjoys, happen to take him out of the house atleast 3 evenings a week. We fight over that, we fight our own quality time as a couple. I guess maybe I am getting a little emotionally needy. I also think I am going to look into this working from home site that a lot of these girls are talking about. I hate not having money to spend on little clothes or anything else that I want to buy this child! And his father apparently has better things to spend his money on. I asked him to buy me a bellaband because I have been having bad round ligament pains and back pain, and he has yet to do that.

Enough venting about him, I am just frustrated at the moment. I know I will be fine in 10 minutes. I guess I feel better now that I got it out. Last night I entertained myself watching my belly move when the baby moved. He must have had a serious growth spurt because I can actually feel him roll around! And, I think I felt hiccups for the first time this morning. It was a very rythmic (almost timeble) movement for a minute or so. Then it stopped.

Well, I guess I really need to get ahold on this updating thing :P. I am now 30 wks and 1 day. Pretty exciting. Had my 3d appt. this morning and it was so worth it! I got to see his adorable face. (pics down below) He was asleep and stubborn, as expected. My upper abdomen is hurting so bad that I can barely think about eating. I just chewed 3 tums hoping that its the heartburn causing this. We'll see. It's hurting straight through to my back! Grrr. I guess now I've entered in to the very uncomfortable stage of pregnancy. All of us women can't wait to be showing, but when we get big, it's uncomfortable. Just going to the mall last night was quite a task.

1. Pee before leaving

2. Pee one more time....

3. Walk CAREFULLY to the car on the ice

4.Think 10 minutes into car ride.....I have to pee again

5. Yell at boyfriend for ignoring parkign spots in the front to park in the back. Doesn't he realize you are this close to being disabled?

6. Tell him you need a bathroom as he proceeds to walk too fast to the OTHER end of the mall.

7. Remind him (through clenched teeth) that you can't walk as fast as him anymore.

8. GO PEE! YAY!!!! (after what seemed like a 1/2 hour walk to get to a bathroom)

9. Realize after all of that, you're tired already.

10. Oh no........guess what.....

11. Remind bf one more time to SLOW down.

12. Look at cute baby clothes.

13. Leave ....oh wait, almost forget to pee before the ride home! lol

That was my evening. ANd how many Xmas presents did we get? None. We did get the baby 2 outfits however. I just can't believe how all of that happens over night. When I sat down this morning remembering it, I thought "how in the heck am I going to actually go christmas shopping?"

Baby definately does NOT have a normal sleep pattern yet. He has days where he is overly active. And others he sleeps the day away. He enjoys rolling around and hurting mommy by stretching out in to my ribs or sideways pushing my uterus as far as it will go. But I do enjoy every waking minute of it. I know when he is moving around that he is alive and well. I am just beginning to feel the hiccups. Now that is adorable. He'll get them for around 5- 10 minutes and after a couple of minutes he is kicking me as if he is incredibly annoyed.

My son Sky is turning 9 on the 18th of this month. Exciting! I have NO idea what to get this kid. But I intead to do something special. Ok, that's all for now. Will hopefully remember to update soon.
