Being pregnant has defently changed my life and the way I feel as I'm sure it has to all of you. It's a big step in life full of responsibilities. Also scarey but the most amazing thing you will ever experience. When i first found out I was pregnant ( Feb 26 2008) i cried with happiness. Shane and I haven't been this happy together in over a year we have been together. We feel alot closer to each other now and he shows me more love and effection. Of course there are the stressful moments where we fight about the tipical stuff couples fight about but being pregnant at the same time it shows alot more. I've been more emotional (cry over nothing), grumpy, nit pick about every little thing, but Shane knows when to give me my space. It's like he can read my mind. I wouldnt trade him for the world. I went for my second ultrasound a couple days ago and I cried when I seen the lil guy move around. Every night before I go to bed I look at the pictures from the ultrasound and still can't believe I'm having a little boy. It's so amazing!

For you ladies who are trying to get pregnant you are going to love every minute of it.(Besides the morning sickness of course hahah, but not everyone gets it really bad, depends on ur body) My Pregnancy has been going by soo fast. I'm already half way through it. I'm glad I have great support from family and friends! They are very important part of your life and you feel less stressed out when u have people to help you out. The happier you are the more happy your baby is. They can feel when you are happy or sad.

I Finally talked my boyfriend Shane to agree with the name Brayden Riley. We went through so many names together, I didn't realize how difficult it was on naming a child, but I want it to be perfect! If you need any help with names check out this website-->http://babynamesworld.com/

This pregnancy has been going by soo fast! I'm almost half way through my pregnancy. All though I didnt find out i was until 2.5 months into it. It took 4 tests to confirm that I was. My morning sickness was soo bad, I was throwing up around 20 times a day! It was a BIG relief when I finally found out what was wrong. I was down to 95 Lbs but I'm gaining it all back from all the food I've been eating haha. I'm back at 115Lbs now so I'm glad to know that I'm healthy and the babies healthy ^_^

Today is Mother's Day! I hope all you women out there are enjoying your day with your loved ones. Today I bought my Mom a couple different colours of flowers, pink ones and white ones for her to hang outside on the porch which would look so lovely!! I find it so werid that my family was wishing me a Happy Mother's Day concidering it's all new to me and my child isn't even here yet lol, all though he is in my tummy, technically im a Mother. Makes me feel so much older but I love every minute of it! I wish my brother and sisters would wish her a Happy Mother's Day, it must break her heart that im her only child that does things for her. She has done so much for us, showed us love and spoiled us with gifts all the time. They can't even make her a card at least... how selfish can u get? Like there all old enough to know these things ( 12, 15 and 18)..But i believe what goes around comes around. Anways, just wanted to wish everyone a happy and safe mother's day and you get treated like a Queen! xx

I am 21 WEEKS PREGO already? WOW! Where does the time go? I love every minute of it! Brayden Riley Shultz is going to be here before you know it. Shane and I are currently looking for a place, it's taking longer then i expected so tomoroww we are so busy with house searching. Thank God that you can look on the internet now for places instead of wasting money on gas, driving everywhere, especially now that the prices of gas has gone up. So we are crossing are figures and hopefully have a place by July the lastest so we can get settled in and worry about whatever else we have to. I can't wait to decorate the lil guy's room! So much fun!

Mom-To-Be

Your eyes are bright and sparkling.
Your cheeks have got a glow.
Your belly's being touched and rubbed
by people you don't know.
You're craving weird, exotic foods
and calories don't matter.
You can't remember life without
an elbow in your bladder.
You're getting medical advice
from everyone you see
Welcome to the joyous days
of Motherhood-to-be.

I have a doctor's appointment tomorwa morning at 10:40am. I am hoping everything is ok (crossing fingers). I pray every night that my baby and I are healthy and that everything is going to go they way i planned, or even better :). I want my child to have a good life like im sure all you mothers to be out there do to. My boyfriend is working so hard everyday and overtime to make sure we are finanically stable. He is the greatest boyfriend a gurl can ask for! I feel alot more energetic today and wanting to do some arts and craft and get started on a scrapbook for lil B :). Decorating is so much fun!

Today I am starting to exercise more to try to keep in shape as much as I can ^_^. I heard it's alot easier for when it comes to delivery time because your going to need the strength! I just have to take it easy because my placenta is low-lined but I know everything is going to be ok! Shane and I found a couple of places we really like and can afford but we have to make sure location is good , like a nice quiet area, no break-in's or whatever. I wanna make sure my child is going to be safe at all times and gunna be the best mother I can be! I've been feeling sick the past couple mornings, I don't know if it's because the baby is growing or just under the wheather...or just the fact im prego lol.

Well today I've slept about 10 hours..not to happy about that because I'm the type of person who likes to get 6-7 hours of sleep and then start my day by doing whatever I have to do. I guess its part of the deal and I should take advantage of the sleep while I can! Another thing is the bathroom situation, I'm sure all you prego's out there no exactly what I'm talking about LOL. Everytime I drink a bottle of water I pee every 10 -20 mins, it's like it goes right through me haha. I probably drink 5 bottled of water a day and 3 classes of milk :S. The baby is loving it though because everytime I drink milk he kicks for a lil while hehe.

I'm 22 weeks prego now and it's not getting any easier from here! I feel more tired then ever and eat, eat and EAT! My mom is like, "OMG i havent seen you eat this much ever!" HAHA its like well DUHHH. Anyways, I'm also alot more moodier, It's amazing how pregnancy can change the way you are. I dont regret anything though, I luv being pregnant! I feel blessed because I wanted a child for so long, all though this one wasnt planned I'm still so happy ^_^. Actually, I don't think I had ever been this happy!

I'm FINALLY almost done my baby shopping! :). I have enough clothes for lil Braydren from the ages of newborn-2 years old :). There are soo many cute baby clothes but only so much you need because they grow soo fast. My Uncle is building me a Crib, Dresser and a Change table (cherry wood) so that saves Shane and I alot of money. My mom bought me a stroller also....It's awsome to have people to help you out. :). Everything is coming together and working out the way expected, I'm so happy :)

This past we I've been feeling more energetic then ever! I've been taking advantage of the nice warm days and going for 2.5 hour walks daily. I feel so much better after that. I like to exercise the most when I feel crappy because it makes me feel better :) Exercising is definitly important especially cause ur pregnant because it gives you the strength for when it comes time to D day. The internet is helpful with information on healthy pregnancies and saves me money from buying books, although my mom buys me the books lol.

July, 18

This past week I have been gaining weight and I feel like a BLIMP! I can't believe how much weight a tiny gurl can gain lol. Brayden has been moving around and kicking the crap out of my bladder which makes me get up in the middle of the night to go PEE every couple hours. When i walk around I wabble and feel like and old lady. I get annoyed when people stare at me like they never seen a preggo before. I didn't mind the attention before but now it's getting rediculous. I don't know if it's part of the mood swings or the real deal... I never complained or wine so much in my life lol. I'm sure my family is getting sick of my bitchiness, I know I would be because im usually a happy person. This hot wheather doesn't help the matter at ALL! You would thing they would be a little more helpful especially my own mother! She would say to me, I was never bitchy during any of my four pregnancies, which made me ever more mad! I have to start doing some exercieses or whatever to keep me occupied and stress free for the time being...
