My Story***

I am a divorcee of almost 3 years now (happily). I have my first 2 children from that marriage. I then luckily found Joe, the most wonderful person in my life; hands down! We met at a club where his brother had a show & I was there w/ a friend who knew his brother. And as cliche as it may seem, we 'hit it off' immediately. There was an energy there that left me unable to pull myself away from him. We were w/ each other from that point on almost every day. After a few months, Joe met my kids (as mom's friend), they fell in love w/ him & then slowly we molded into a family. (its truly much more involved than this sounds, & far more romantic...this paragraph is very vague now that i re-read it) :)

Now, unfortunately, my family didnt take so well to Joe (due to my ex-husband). The ex told my family horrible, vicious lies about Joe (out of anger), so Joe never got a fare chance from the get go. They, from time-to-time, attempted to befriend Joe, but all the while putting the daggers to him any time he or I turned our backs. With time my family completely cut me out of there lives. It was the most difficult time of my life (as if the divorce wasnt painful enough, now i lose my family because of the evil ex!) but it also was the best eye opener & major life lesson for me. Now, my ex is the one at my mom's house for holidays (with MY kids), he is the one having grandma babysit for him while he goes out partying, & they all sit around & speak rudely of Joe & I in front of my kids. At my kids sporting events, its Joe & I that go and sit by ourselves. Which at this point is our decision because we dont even want to be around any of them, especially w/ our younger son. It's very sad for the older 2 kids is what it is. It breaks my heart that it has turned out the way it has. Sometimes I feel as if I will wake up & say Wow, i had the worst dream about my family. But that thought is just so far from the reality, its really disgusting.

Anyway!
In the meantime, Joe & I had our son (summer 06) & again w/ my 2 kids & now the baby, it just made our little family all the stronger. My older children love having a baby brother & i love having 3 kids. Unfortunately, my mother is missing out on the life of one of her grandchildren (Joe & I's son), but there is just no way that i will allow her to be part of his life after the things she has done to me & said about Joe. I only wish that i could do something about her having anything to do w/ the older 2 as well. It is really a slap in the face every time we have to hear about them going to grandmas, their dad talking to grandma, or going to grandmas w/ dad for supper, etc... I dont know yet how i will deal w/ that once my youngest & the new baby are old enough to understand that bub & sissy have a grandma that has nothing to do w/ them. How sad, huh? Or maybe not, maybe all my kids will learn from this horrible experience as they age & gain something from it. I can only hope.

The lighter side! (Yes,there is one)
We have just bought our first house together & we are moving after Christmas. Yeah!! We are moving out of the town where my mother & ex both live & further away from the rest of my family. It's like we are finally getting to start our life together, 2 years later!

The Baby!!!!
I found out that i was pregnant w/ this little one when i was only 2 weeks pregnant! I am now just 11 weeks, so it feels as if I've been pregnant forever! We have been very selective about who we have told about the baby so far, the kids do not know & I'm going to try to hold out till Feb. or March. As for my family, I dont want them to find out for as long as possible because I dont care to hear the negative comments while I'm pregnant ( I'm liable to go postal) :)! I still havnt got to hear the heart beat, my doctor wouldnt do it at the last visit I was 9.3 weeks, she said it was to early. So our next appt. is Jan. 7 & we cant wait to hear that precious little beat! I can now fill the 'fullness' in my abdomen & cant wait till my belly starts to poke out. So far, this pregnancy, I have felt fairly well. I get nauceous easy & dont have much of an appetite yet, I'll be glad for that to kick in because I'm hungry all the time, but nothing ever sounds good. Getting very excited at this point for some prego signs to become more apparent.

Well the good news only lasts so long!
My ex is now trying to stop us from moving from the town he lives in. He is threatening to take my kids if we move & only let me have them every other weekend. Happy freakin holidays, huh? So we're a bit stressed out right now, not quite sure what we are going to do at this point. I'm 12wks currently, hoping that all this emotional stress does not effect my pregnancy!

Responding to the Attack!
well, court is set for Jan. my mother will now have a restraining order to protect myself & my kids, as she has now announced that she is sleeping w/ my ex! Yes, you read it correctly! Sick, i know...i just need Jerry Springer now & it will all fall into place perfectly. Now why in the world would we have ever wanted to move away from these people??? Such a healthy environment to raise children in. All i can say is Bring It On in court!

Thank Goodness for the New Year!!!!!!
Well, things have worked out! The ex settled out of court (because he ran out of $$..ha, ha). So i got it all how i want it for now! And the best part is, we got to move to our new house! We are so happy. It's Feb. now, we have been in the new house for 2 weeks & although it's under mass construction & remodeling, we dont care! We are loving it. We do have to drive about 30 minutes 2 days a week to take my older 2 children to school in the town their dad lives in, but that is the sacrifice i had to make. He wouldn't agree to a school change & i didnt want to fight him any longer. So yeah for now! As for my mom, the court restrained the ex from having my children around her at all. It's sad that it has came to this, but we all agreed that at this point in time, w/ her acting how she is, that it's best the kids not be around her.

SO NOW....I GET TO FOCUS ON MY PREGNANCY!!!! :)

February, 19
20 Weeks & 4 days! I'm so happy. I'm loving my belly, feeling the baby move all the time now, getting rather large - but havnt gained to much weight (knock on wood), just baby weight & belly growth! :) Feeling good, w/ the occasional headache & body ache...no complaints here! Half way there & can't wait. My youngest, who is now 19 months, will pat my belly & smile when we talk to him about the baby. I know he will have adjustments & minor jealously issues (normal), but I think he will handle the new baby better than expected. I'm at such an anxious state right now, so excited to meet this little fellow & hold him!

25 weeks and 1 day! Its starting to go so fast now. I have one more monthly appt. then we go to our every 2 weeks appt `s. :) Bought some new maternity shirts today, the old non-prego shirts were not working any longer. My belly was hanging out of the bottome of every shirt & its cold here! The baby moves so often, i love feeling him move! He is definitely a night owl already, about 9pm is when he starts being his most active & he keeps up most of the night. His second older brother was the exact same. Cant wait to get to hold this little man & be up w/ him all night in my arms!

March 26, 08
25 weeks 5 days! Its really going fast. We are scheduling a 3D/4D sono for next month & taking our older 2 children w/ us, they didnt get to go to our first one so long ago @ 15 weeks! I cant wait to see this little fellow again...it's even more difficult to fathom that after this sono we will be seeing him the next time in person! I cant wait. You would think that this would be 'old hat' to me being my 4th pregnancy, but its not at all. It's almost as if i get more excited w/ each one. I think alot of it has to do w/ my age & life experiences I've gone through. Regardless, it is wonderful this time around & i am so incredibly anxious it almost consumes me! : ) With every kick, punch, flutter, hiccup, roll or even the sleepy times I am falling in love w/ this baby so much already its hard to believe. What a wonderful and fortunate experience we women get to go through. I wouldnt trade it for the world! Oh also, my doctor told us that we would schedule my C/S for June 26, 08! I think its so awesome to be able to schedule it, pick the day, have an expectation to look forward to. I use to think it seemed unnatural, and it upset me, but now after doing it for my past 2, its the only way I would dream of doing it. It makes it so much easier! Anyway...come on June!

April 21, 08 Monday
We had our 29 week appt. this morning. Heard Ezrah's heartbeat, sounded wonderful! We scheduled our next 2 week appt., it's hard to believe that we will be almost 32 weeks at that appt. I can't wait, these every 2 week appt's are making it go so much faster, i can't wait till our weekly appt's start. We had our 3D sono last week, it was the most awesome thing we have done yet. All of our kids were there and my husbands mom was able to go w/ us, she really enjoyed that! It blew our minds how much he and his brother Aiden look alike. Aiden is my 3rd youngest and he and this baby, Ezrah, have the same father. So it should be no shock that they look so much alike, but i mean they are identical. We can't tell Aiden's sono pics apart from this one. They could pass as twins already. I can't wait till he is here. I'm getting crazy anxious to hold him and kiss him and lay him on my chest. I'm so looking forward to my hospitalization to have some bonding time w/ him, alone. I know that sounds selfish, but w/ 3 kids already and family, it will be hard to get any 'private' time w/ this little guy. I'm very much looking forward to this summer w/ our new baby. I'm feeling great, weight gain is slow and minimal. Only 19# so far and i only gained 1 pound since the last visit, so i think i can live w/ that! Hardly any swelling, not a lot of discomfort or pains to speak of, appetite is good, slight contractions every once in awhile; really i have nothing to complain about! I'm loving this pregnancy, it has by far been the easiest one so far! :)

June 24, Tuesday

Well, only 1 day left till i finally get to meet my little man! im so excited and nervous at the same time! I'm not sleeping now, anticipating the c/s and suddenly starting to remember every little detail from my previous experiences w/ c/s. None of them have been bad, but its still a little unnerving! I have butterflies in my stomach constantly. But its all worth it. I just want to see what he looks like, what his cry is like, how big he is, feel his soft skin, put him in his little clothes and just hold and kiss him. I cant wait!
