Hi all, so I had my 2nd prenatal appt. yesterday and the Dr. told me I gained too much weight!
:( He also said my blood sugar level was sort of high. I had to admit to the candy binge I have been on for the last month:) He asked me to cut it down to 1 candy bar a day!!! But everything else looks okay!

Friday, 2 Nov

Hello, so I had another US yesterday (11/1/07). I was having some really bad cramps for like 3 days, so the dr. sent me in. Everything is fine!!!! :) I couldnt be happier. My little baby looks like a baby now! Everything is there legs arms, you can even see his nose. I am pretty sure it is a boy!

Hi Everyone! Got to hear my baby's heartbeat for the first time yesterday! It was amazing! I guess I had the wrong due date! I am actually due on May 22nd! Which makes me 13 weeks!:) Yeah we made it!

Thursday, 20 Dec

Hi Ladies! So I had my 17 wk appt. last Wed. We were hoping that we could find out the sex then but my Dr. had to rush out of our appt. for a delivery. I was bummed but happy at the same time, Hopefully he would do the same for me! He did give me my referral for my US but it is a 4D and I think I want to save it for a few more weeks so I can see all the features! The baby is kicking up a storm and I am starting to get more of a momma belly!

WEDNESDAY, 26 Dec

So still no sex US I am hoping that I can find out ASAP, I cannot wait any longer! Christmas was wonderful, my hubby got to feel the baby kick for the 1st time, he cried and then of course I cried! Here is a belly pic on Christmas night! 18 wks 5 days! What do you think?

January 2nd, 2008!

So we had our gender U/S on New Year's Eve! We found out we are having a BOY! We are so excited! Time to start shopping :) He was being shy at first then decided to give it up! He is measuring at approx. 12 oz, 8-9 in, and his heartrate is at 158 bpm! Here are the pics!

Hand over his eyes!

22 weeks - So I seem to have developed a rash:( It started on my arm, then moved to my boobs then to my stomach. It itches like crazy. I went to the dr. yesterday and he said it doesnt look like PUPPS or any other pregnancy rash, maybe an allergic reaction? I am on a one week dose of steroids then back for a check up! But since he thinks its an allergic reaction I cannot lather myself in lotion or cortisone cream, so itch continues, more sleepless nights & red skin:( The good thing is the baby is good! 150 bpm! Very consistant. My hubby has had a hard time feeling him move again and he told me he is beginning to think I swallowed a watermelon seed and thats what is growing inside me! Cant wait to start shopping, I am totally getting in the mode!

Monday, 18 Feb

So it has been a while since I updated this thing!! It has been an interesting month! 1st - I went to the Dr. cause I thought I had a kidney infection, and it showed that I did. So they gave me Keflex to kill the infection and put me on bed rest until Friday (I went in on a Wed). The pain was getting increasingly worse, I hadnt slept or eaten anything since tuesday and now the rx they had me on was making me nauseous. My hubby finally took me to the ER on Friday night and they admitted me. I was in the hospital until Sunday night. They ran a bunch of tests and said everything was checking out okay, they were giving me antibiotics through IV and pain meds as well. They sent me home still in horrible pain with Vicodin and said they dont know why I am still in pain, I am pregnant and they cant explain every pain:( Then the next day I went to the bathroom and there was BLOOD - alot of it. I wasnt sure where it was coming from but it was there and it had clots in it. I freaked out. My hubby rushed me to the hospital again and this time they found the infection and gave the proper antibiotics and kept me till later that night. Since then everything has been great! I have now gotten 3 kidney infections this pregnancy and they finally put me on a daily medicine to prevent me from getting these. I was relieved to see that my lil boy was not fazed by my pain! He was as happy as can be! Now I am just extremely mad at the hospital and considering changing where I will deliver. Only problem is my Dr. doesnt deliver at the other hospital, which is further away. I dont know what to do. Any advice?

I was just sitting here and I thought about you. I know that we never added each other to our friends network, but I remember seeing your posts. I just wanted to check in and see how you were doing. I saw that you had your little boy. Congrats! How are things going for you? I really hope that everything either has or will work out. Good luck to you and best wishes.

MariaC - Sunday, 25 May
I saw you had your baby, huge congratulations!!! I'm finding it hard keeping up now that I'm not on as much through being busy!! (obvious reasons!!)

How are you? Did you manage to get things sorted out or is he still being an arse?? xXx

socalgal - Friday, 16 May
Yay! Good luck tonight! And don't forget to tell us how you and baby are doing as soon as you are well enough! xxxxx

danish-girl - Thursday, 15 May
Oh no mommymcgraw - that is just mean. Dont they know how stressed waiting for and mentally prepare for being induced is? How can they just call up people and say sorry we're full - thats really tough I think! I hope that you're alright darling! I wish you all the best and I'll be crossing my fingers for you!

YEAH - Good luck on the induction tomorrow? You will have to let me know how it goes - I am scheduled for an induction on Monday (which at this point CAN NOT come soon enough!). How are things with your husband right now?

pregodee - Wednesday, 14 May
good luck girl u deserve it.

pregodee - Wednesday, 14 May
man that sucks ur family is so far away. We live on base and he has all his army friends here too.My husband I think just finds me annoying right now. Everytime I have an issue or I'm not perfectly pregnant and happy, it's like, "aw what is it NOW?" and it makes me feel like shit! Plus he won't touch me cuz he says he is worried about hurting the baby, but I know it's because we can't have crazy sex and he's not into sympathy sex. But he is a good man! Its just rough right now. I really hope ur husband realizes what he is accually doing. This is a very fragile time and he's doing stuff that you can't really take back, like being there for the last few days of your pregancncy (it it ur first?) and possibly missing out on labor! U know, as soon as he hears ur going into labor I'll bet he'll be racing down to see you and apoligize for everything that has been going on. I hate to hear that ur all alone right now it bothers me! I guess if anything, we are here for you, via internet. You said that he came home the other day for lunch gave you a kiss, told you that he loved you and left. Why did he do that? Did he feel conflicted or something? Has there been any change? Hope ur okay. *hugs*

pregodee - Wednesday, 14 May
what the hell!?!?! I came on here to rant about my styupid husband, but yours looks like he needs to give his head a shake. I feel for you hunny. What is he thinking? I hope everything works out and you guys have the most romantic hugs and kisses when he realizes that what he is doing is just crazy. i'm terrible. i'm a grudge holder. I hope ur okay. You got some girlfriends around to stay with? Maybe that would help. Or possibly even with mom if she's not too crazy like mine? And a nice comfort food that helps me out is a cheesecake blizzard with reeses cups. Or any blizzard from Dairy Queen for that matter. I get a medium so it';s more filling than a small but not big enough to make me sick. Hope things turn around girl! Big hugs from Dee

socalgal - Tuesday, 13 May
How are you doing? I know we all have been bombarding you with our own stories and advice, but I probably can speak for everyone when I say we just genuinely hope you are doing well and wish that we could do or say anything to help. I hope things are looking up.

haydensmom - Monday, 12 May
Hi. I was reading your post from earlier today and i feel for you. When I was 5 months pregnant my fiancee was out at pool one night and I stayed home. He had been acting really weird for awhile like everytime he would come see me at work and his phone would ring he would go outside to talk. (I worked in a bar so its not like he couldn't answer it inside) and was getting alot of texts that just ALL happened to be from his "sister". Well, the night he went out to pool he left one of his cell phones at home. (one was personal, one was a work phone) So the personal one was left at home. Now, i wasn't going through it to snoop at first. I was reading the texts that we sent back and forth to each other then for some reason i dcided to look in the deleted messages. There were quite a few in there from who was obviously female. None that he had sent, just recieved. They said things like "well, if shes working thursday and friday than either of those nights are good for me" and "ok, well call me when you can than, ok?" the last one being the best. "It was great seeing you the other day, and i agree, I wish we had more time together" Well, needless to say, I lost it! I called him up right away and lost my mind over the phone. He was home within minutes. To this day, he still insists that he never went to go see her, her being one of his old "friends" from back home who just happened to be in town. He insists he never went to go see her and 'has no idea why she sent that message'. Yeah right. Anyways, it pretty much almost broke us up. I just couldn't let it go for a long time. Like, how stupid does he think i am? Since then, hes done stuff like change his msn so it doesn't log in automatically and just stuff like that which makes you think, what do you have to hide? In the long run, I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and wel, i wouldn't say forgive him. I don't bring it up anymore cause you know, the past is the past, but he definitly knows that if anything like that happens again, hes gone. Baby or no baby. I know i've rambled on and on and i really don't know what advice to give you other than trust your instincts. If you feel like something is up, check it out. don't let him make you feel bad by saying i hate being accused of stuff i'm not doing. right now its more important for you to take care of you and the baby that needs you to be healthy so he can grow. i know, yada yada yada right. If you need to chat just drop me a line. Hope you feel better!!! :)

Oh my god, are you okay?? He's such a jerk to do something like this to you when you're this close to having the baby. He would be a jerk to do this to you any time, but of all times, why now??? If he comes back, all he deserves is a slap in the face and a door in the face. I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this right now--if you need to vent AT ALL, feel free to talk to me--You haven't done ANYTHING wrong at all, so don't think that this is your fault. Men are f-ed up. And that's all there is to it. I know it's so tough w/ all the hormones. If you lived in fort worth, I would come commiserate with you :(

ksmommie2b - Monday, 12 May
I am so sorry to hear what you have been going through with your husband, that stress is the LAST thing you need right now! But stay strong, your baby needs you to!! I'll pray for you!

Don't feel stupid. Men are dogs. You can't live with and you don't want to live without em. My husband cheated on me with an old high school flame almost the whole time I was pregnant with my 2nd. Not trying to scare you but if you are uneasy about something then there is probably reason to investigate. I PROUDLY call myself the best private investigator ever!!! I feel that by my being his wife I have every right to look at his phone whenever i want and I will listen to voicemails, look up the account on the net and whatever else eases my mind. Occasionally, we have had issues over this but it makes me feel better and I'm gonna do it. There is no such thing as privacy when you are married to someone. That's the craziest thing I have ever heard. People who have nothing to hide, hide nothing. He can look at my phone, follow me, check stories out, call friends.....whatever he wants. I don't mind a bit. It doesn't make me feel bad about it and it doesn't drive me crazy doing it. I trust him it's just that after all that happened it freaked me out. We split up for a bit and got back together but I still wonder. And since then he has lied about stupid boyish stuff but there have been no more girls in the mix. And I can say that I know that for sure thanks to my private investigating. He jokes around sometimes and says that it's like living with god becuz I know things that he has done before he even leaves the store or the ATM or has a chance to call and tell me what's what. But that works for us and he will just have to get over it if he doesn't like it cuz it's what I have to do to feel OK. I'm sorry you are having to deal with this...it will get better. i know how vulnerable you are feeling whether there is another woman in the pic or not. Being pregnant makes you feel like your not yourself sometimes. I hope it gets better for you. I prayed a lot while I was going thru all that too and still now. Maybe that will help you. Message me if you ever need to talk. I understand.

missannie - Monday, 12 May
i've been reading your posts, but i don't really have much more advice... it looks like all the other wonderful ladies have given you some, and i completely agree. i just wanted to let you know that i think you're extremely strong (even if you don't feel like it right now), i'm not sure i could keep it together like you are.... you're pretty amazing! that being said, i'll say a little prayer for you, and send some good vibes your way. take care, if you need a place to vent i'm always open! :)

dedra40 - Monday, 12 May
I read your post from a few hours ago, and I am so sorry that yesterday went as it did. I hate to hear that your husband did that to you. I've heard that alot of men kinda freak out when it gets closer to time for the baby to come. I don't know what the story is, so I can't really give any advice other than to hang in there and be tough. I know it will be very difficult for you until the baby gets here, and probably harder afterwards, but your baby needs you to be tough right now. Use us for support, call friends to come help you if you need them. Your husband will hopefully change his mind when the baby comes, and realize that he wants to be home with his family. And maybe, he'll also realize what an a*shole he's been and try his hardest to make it up to you. Best of luck, honey. Take care of yourself.

I keep reading your post and just can't believe it. How can anyone do that now? I don't know any of the details but I do know one thing... this is not your fault and you have nothing to be ashamed of. So why should you act like everything is ok when his family is over? I'd call him out on it. No one is going to excuse him for acting this way,so selfish, with 10 days unil the birth of his son! I just can't believe it. And I think what Babyrae posted was great. That's what I would do. Exclude him. He is the one missing out. He'll never be able to get this time back. You are going to be a great mom, with or without him. Don't let his bad behavor make you think otherwise. Please hang in there. We're all thinking of you!
