So i went to my high risk doctor to receieve my progesterone shot and to get my cervix checked and everything is fine my cervix is still long so that's great i asked him about getting the steroids shots just incase i go into preterm labor and he said that as long as my cervix continues to look good that he wouldnt give it to me and with that good news you'd think i would be happy and i am =) But then i went to my regular Ob/Gyn and first of all she left all her patients in the waiting room because she had to rush to the hospital no problem but when she came back i asked her the questions that i wrote down about the c-section and surprisingly my fears have been eased as far as that goes but then we started talking about my body and she doubts that i will make it to my scheduled c-section date so now i'm all on the edge i ran out to the store and brought a few preemie outfits just incase Dre says not to worry and just wait it out but you know us females are my mind races 1 million thoughts per minute lol so today i got good news and then the not so good news i do know that whenever shes born even though she will have to stay at the hospital NICU she will be fine they have the best neonatal intensive care unit in this state i just cant imagine leaving her there but if thats what it takes for her to get better i will have to do it and trust that God will bring us through. well i passed my glucose test soooo happy about that lol well im off to bed ... until the next update be safe!

So yesterday was not one of my best days to say the least i had an appt at my regualr ob's office for 8-45 am i got there at 9-15 am which was no big deal because she wasnt there yet she was dealing with patients at the hospital which is rght across the street from her office she gets there we talked she check my blood pressure weighs me and checks the babies heartbeat and im out the door did i forget to mention that i had two other appts to go to as well good thing that they were all in the same area i had an appt for the thyroid dr next that was for 9-50 am what time did i get there? 10-30 am since im pregnant as long as i show up to the appt they cannot not see me so im waiting in the back all for her to tell me that she wants to see me again in 6 weeks because the last time my thyroid level was normal now it's low again but she always blames it on the pregnancy so whats the big deal?? my levels were low in the beginning then back to normal and then low again all she does is makes me drink 4 sips of water rubs my neck and has me put my hand out in front of me puts a piece of paper there then she tells me to open my mouth and say ahhhh!! and thats it she even said that i dont have any of the symptoms. so i leave there onto my next appt which is for 11-00 am with my high risk doctor what time did i get there? 11-30 am and to my surprise they are doing construction work on the main parking lot you have to go around to the other side i don't think they realize how much of an inconvenice this makes on the patients that see the doctors in that building so when i get there that was the shortest wait i had all day so i went to the back with the sonogram tech she did a lovely job my little girl is such a character she was moving her lips around kicking and punching like nobody's business this was the highlight of my day i love seeing her and i can't wait to hold her when i found out i got pregnant i never imagined even making it this far but every week brings me closer and closer to being able to touch her i still have sometime left but i am sooooo ready to meet the person that i love even though i haven't even met her my baby is a blessing and when she gets older i'm going to sit her down and let her know why well its time for me to call her father ... until the next update have a happy pregnancy :)

5-4-07 258 PM EST

So yesterday i had to make an unexpected vist to the drs come to find out i had an infection that i got from the antibotic that i had when i got my uti anyway so she checked her heartbeat and everything is fine with that felt my cervix and its still on lock (closed) anyway i was explaining to her about me not being able to breathe again and she said that as Trinity gets bigger she will take up more space which will cause me to feel like that well guess what i already had a limited amount of breathing space anyway How awesome is that?? (sarcasum) anyway she said girl just give me four more weeks i pray to god that i make it to 36 weeks i know the longer i keep her cooking the better lol anyway i have a sono appt next week so you know what that means more pics her father and I have decided no more clothes and lets just focus on the big things that she needs i also found out today that my bestfriend brought me the diaper bag that i wanted isnt she sweet and shes also going to get me those really expensive Dr. Brown's bottles since we're expecting that Taj might be a preemie does anyone know a drink to drinking so much water i am trying and cannot stand it!! well anyway i have to get ready to go see her father for the weekend I miss him and really need a hug so i will update you guys next week with more pics until the next update be safe. LADIES THAT LOVE BABYPHAT SHE NOW MAKES DIAPER BAGS!! GO CHECK THEM OUT @ BABYPHAT.COM yeah its that serious LOL!!

Well yesterday i had my two week appointment with my regular ob and even though my baby is growing at the normal rate my uterus isnt expanding which means that she's running out of room. another thing that's happening is my cervix is starting to funnel (big at the top, thinning out at the bottom) so my doctor suggested doing an amino to see if her lungs are developed enough for her to be delivered early which of course im worried about i want her to stay in as long as possible every week that she is in there is another week that she gets to grow and become stronger my biggest fear is having to leave her in the hospital and then coming home without my daughter i have no transportation to get back n forth to the hospital and i dont know if i would be able to see her everyday i am an emotional WRECK! well anyone that reads this pray that my baby stays put well until next week be safe :)

5-25-07 6:24 A.M. EST

Okay so its the day after the visit with my regular OBGYN and i keep explaining to this lady that because of my pelvis i am in soooo much pain it makes walking unbearable i even went and brought a maternity belt but it was the wrong size :( she said that if i cant move around that she might put me in the hospital of course i dont want that sooo she oped for me to get a nurse the thing is what the hell is this going to do for my pain seriously so now i see my dr every week because of the funneling of my cervix but get this its been three weeks and i havent had my cervix checked so i dont know whats going on with it anyway even though they wont be doing my amino anytime soon she said she still wated to schedule it in advance i guess i will find out next week what the date is depending on thr results she might move my c-section up which by the way im scared to have but i soooo want this pregnancy over with i know i have a few more weeks to go though my biggest fear is that im going to go into labor and Dre isnt going to be there i'll just have to pray that everything works out my lil girl is a little on the small side but my drs dont seems to be concerned because i am small myself she has all her organs and is going symetirically (sp) and the blood flow to the cord is fine anyway my dr said by 37 weeks she should be 5 lbs i didnt expect to have a big baby anyway 5 or 6lbs is cool with me i have pics of the sono that i need to scan she has her lips poked out like shes giving kisses anyway i pray that each day gets easier and that god continues to give me enough strength to make it thru im going back to bed because her father will be calling in a few hours well until my next update be safe

06-01-07 6:00am EST

So yesterday i went to my weekly appt with my regular OBGYN and everything seems to be going well just the samething from last week the baby is small so they are keeping an eye on her she checked my cervix and thats still doing good anyway my doctor looks at me and goes all you have to do is give me a reason to deliver the baby and i will i yell because im tired lol evidently thats not good enough anyway i have a sonogram next week so hopefully i will know more by then whoever reads this pray that my baby is okay i have come so far in this pregnancy and its heartbreaking to think that something could be wrong. Today i planned on going shopping for her travel system and i checked my bank and there are 3 purchases that i know nothing about now i cant sleep because i want my money i have things to do and other bills to pay especially now with a baby coming i dont play that #### GIVE ME MY DAMN MONEY or else anyway over the memorial day weekend i went to Dre's and his mom and sister gave me a mothers day card it was very sweet the whole time i was at his place i didnt have to lift a finger he did it all cooking cleaning everything well i'm going to go start my day another update next week!!

06-02-07 12:20pm EST

Well i called the bank and they have straighten things out although i have to wait 3-5 business days until i get my money back the main thing is that i'm getting it back ::breathes a sigh of relief::I went shopping yesterday and picked up a few things that i didnt get at the baby shower still have a few odds and ends to buy but im sure i will have everything that is needed NEW PICS NEXT WEEK!!

06-06-07 9:32pm EST

So today I went to the Drs. This is the first one that Dre actually went too so i was soooo excited about that even the ladies in the office were lol anyway i'm kind of upset because if lil' mama was at the right weight then they were going to move my c/s up because i am in so much discomfort but i cant now because she needs all the time she can spend in there when i was at the u/s today i got to see her breathing now that doesnt mean that her lungs are mature it just means that shes been practing :) anyway my HR (high risk) doctor said that she is healthy so things could be worse continue to pray for my baby and my family its almost time for me to call her dad talk to ya next week :)

06-14-07 12-08 am EST

Hey today was a good day i had my 36 week checkup and all is well with ms. trinity and shes finally 5lbs or just touching it i am estatic because i really want my little girl to come home when i do my dr said that she isnt going to be a big baby and thats fine its just that my uterus isnt stretching anymore which is fine because shes healthy and thats all that matters i have to admit though when i seen the 3-D sono today i realized how much she looks like Dre he is sooo happy he even said that he was proud of me i almost cried but i laughed instead i got tested for strep B today and didnt even know it lol i cant beleive that shes almost here it seems like i've been waiting an eternity so im nervous because im having major surgery and im going to be an official mom i told my dr about how nervous i am and she said that she would give me something to help sedate me well next week will be my last update about the drs the next thing i will put on here is how my c-section went BEST WISHES everyone :)

06-20-07 2:06 pm EST

Today was my last sono and the baby is doing great my doctor asked me if i was sad about not seeing him again i said no and he busted out laughing he is such an awesome doctor and im really thankful of how they took care of the baby and i to be truthful i feel a different amount of emotions right now i feel like im just now getting use to being pregnant and now its almost over and i cannot be more happy :) well tomorrow marks exactly one week b4 her birthday. next update tomorrow!!

06-21-07 3:37pm EST

Had my last regular OB appt today and next week i will have my baby wish me a safe delivery and healthy baby i will post pics whne i can see ya!!

07-15-07 5:54pm EST

Hey everybody I said I was going to post the story on how my c/s went so here it is almost 3 weeks later so i could sleep at all the night before and i had to be up by 430am to make sure that i was ready to be out the door by 600am my father dropped my boyfriend and i off at the hospital and the butterflies started kicking in we got to the hospital at about 630am went to the cafeteria so Dre could eat then off we were tp the labor and delivery triage area to sign in then they assigned us a room and we were told to go drop our belongings off there when we were on our way back to the triage area i had to stop and sign papers and was asked if i had an advanced directory (incase i died) that scared the Sugar Honey Ice Tea outta me once all the papers were signed i finally got in the bed and they hooked me up i was literally sick to my stomach my doctor came in the back and said are you ready to become a mommy i looked at her and said give me one more day please lol ( im such a big baby) she says girl one more day isnt going to make a difference you are doing it today then the medicine man came in and i told him all of my fears as far as the surgery and to my surprise he did exactly what i wanted him to do so the next thing you know i'm getting rolled into the OR and when i got there it didnt even look like an operating room at all and the best thing is Dre was able to stay with me the whole time he didnt even have to wait until the medicine man administered the spinal so anyway im on the table and outta nowhere the feeling of being nervous went away and im as calm as can be the next thing i know i start feeling a little bit of pressure and then i heard her cry and then i started crying they took her into a smaller room that was in the same room that i was in and then they told Dre to come cut the cord the next thing i heard was marvin gaye - lets get it on (my doctor turn on the radio) then she goes thats the last thing they need to hear thats what got them here in the first place hahahahahaha!! and then off to sleep i went (i fell asleep on my own) all i wanted to do was hear her cry lol Dre said that i was snoring on the table how embarrassing (sp) anyway i woke up and they latched her on to my breast she latched on like a pro she still tries to get my breast from time to time but now i formula feed only anyway the moral of this birth story is i faced my fears and had the surgery it was nothing like i thought it would be thanks to a very handsome medicine man and my oh so incredible OBGYN .... Best Wishes Everyone!!
