Alivia-Dawn`s birthstory

this is such a whirlwind story!! on monday morning i went in for my regular prenatal appt and my doc said that i was 2cm and she decided that maybe things would get going if she stretched my cervix...so she poked around in there for a minute and sent me on my way...i never had any discomfort or cramping or anything from it so figured i would be pregnant for a while still...i went shopping all day did lots of walking but felt no different throughout the day and into the evening...i woke up at 430 am with some cramping but nothing painful and i had a sore back...but again i didnt think much about it because what pregnant woman doesnt have a sore back?!?! so went back to sleep..woke up again at 515am from the cramps and decided to get up and walk around have a drink of water to see if that would make it go away...it just felt like menstrual cramps...it didnt go away but it wasnt getting any worse...and it was more just cramps because i couldnt time anything because there was no distinct start and stop to it...so we decided to go in to the hospital to get checked out and then sent home...well we got to the hospital at 6 am and sat in the assesment room for about 45 mins while they monitored the baby and watched for contractions...i didnt have any contractions the whole 45 mins and baby was doing fine so the nurse told me we could just go home or we could wait a few more minutes because my doc would be at the hospital shortly to do her morning rounds...so we decided to wait for her and have her check me and see what she though....well she checked me at about 6:50am and said that i had dialated to 4cm and that if i wanted she would break my water and get things going so got to the labour and delivery room and she broke my water at 7am and literally 5 mins after that i had a strong contraction that felt like i had to push!! so the nurses ran out to find my doc because she had left thinking that i would be a few hours and she came back and checked me again at about 715 and said that the head was about 1cm away from crowning!! so they made me pant through the contractions while they got set up and i started pushing and after 2 contractions worth of pushing she was out!!! labour started at 7am and she was born at exactly 730 am!!! i didnt have any tearing or swelling down there so basically it was the easiest recovery...it happened so fast they didnt have time to do bloodwork or give me and IV or anything!! i though my first one was fast at 2 1/2 hours but wow i couldnt belive it!! i didnt have any tearing or swelling and was able to go home the next morning...she has been such a good baby and even sleeps 3 hours at a time in the night so im not exhausted like i was the first time...i hope my story gives some ladies that are still waiting the encouragement to wait kjust little bit longer because it is so worth it!! i cant wait for my next one!!

LOVE MY BUMP!!

hi all i noticed that everyone seems to keep a journal on this thing so i figured that would maybe be a good idea...take the hormones out on this thing instead of everyone else!! so i guess i will start with myself...i am 21 (just turned on the 13) and my due date is may 20th...this will be my second child and i already have a 2 year old boy at home...he is such a handful!! i live in red deer alberta, canada and i work as a nursing assistant just 2 days a week...did work full time but became too much with the little guy...i am so hoping this time it is a girl because i dont think we will have anymore kids after this so i would like to have experienced a girl and a boy but i will be okay with whatever comes out way...i have been feeling horrible this pregnancy which is totally opposite from my first one...maybe that is a sign that it is a girl :) i still get morning sickness in the evenings but that is a huge improvment from being all day long!! so hopefully it will only be another week or 2 before it is gone completely?!?!!?

Wednesday, 21 Nov

well went in for a dr appt today...just the routine stuff...heard the heart beat it was 150..ive heard 140 and above means girl and below means boy...i know there is no truth to that but i like to think its a girl since this will be our last and we alrady have a little boy...fingers crossed...thedr also booked my next U/S for dec 17 and i am not sure if i wanna find out the sex or not...i kind of would like to know if it is a girl because then we would have to buy a bunch of new stuff because all we have is boy stuff...and i would also like to have the baby room all painted and done up cute for a girl...but it would also be even more of a surprise if we waited to find out until babys born...we found out with our first and we didnt have that surprise at the very end so i think i would like to experince that...but the suspence is just killing me...i dont handle surprises very well...if there is a secret..i have to know!!:)

well i am happy to say that the morning sickness has finally quit...fingers crossed...for the most part anyways..i occasionaly feel nauseated in the evening but it isnt enough to make me throw up or anything...thank god that stage is over!!! no i can go on and enjoy the rest of this pregnancy :) i have noticed that this time i am having a lot of trouble keeping down my prenatal vitamins so i talked to the doc about this and i was told that i could take a childrens viamin but up the dose accordingly to make it match..or close to...the amount of vitamins that were in the prenatal...thank god...so now i get to have yummy flintstones vitamins :) i am waiting to feel the sirt movements...almost into the 15th week so i am hoping it will come soon...i felt with my first aroung 18 wks and they say second pregnancy you feel a little sooner :) yay!!!

Sunday, 6 Jan

well the time has come for antoher update :) i am currently 20 wks and loving it!!! i really wasnt enjoying this pregnancy for the first 15 weeks because of sickness and everything else and the overall adjustment but now i am just in love with my new baby :) i started feeling him/her move around 17 wks and he been non-stop ever since...we dont know whatr we are having and it has been so hard to not ask at the u/s but i will hold out and wait for the surprise...we knew with our first and so wanted to try the surprise route this time...i really am anxious to find out...i go for another u/s in 10 days because when they did my `big ` one a few weeks back they couldnt see eveything that they needed so yay..i get another one...this will be the 3rd and i wish there were more to come alothough everything has been by the book so far so im sure i wont have any afte this...my hubby works out of town on the oil rigs so he left the 1st of dec and didnt come home till the 22nd and then left again on the 2nd of jan...so i guess we did have quite a few days together but i miss him lots...and he doesnt know how long he is going to be gone for this time either...i hate the oil field for that reason...the schedule is always so unpredictable...oh well his income allows me to stay at home with our son...but for mat leave purposes i currently am working just 2 days a week...just enough to collect free government money...why not eh??hahaha

i went for my 3rd ultrasound today and it was so fun!!! i wish we could get those done like every month the way we do with our dr.appts....unfortunatly my hubby couldnt come..out of town working but one of these times he will make it...i think i will book a 3/d one and make it a day that he for sure can book off work...the baby was quite active during the appt...it had one leg all curled up by its bum and then the other one way up by its face...the tech actaully held the little thing on my belly for a few minutes so that i could just watch the baby move...it was sucking on its one foot!!! so cute and you could see it `breathing ` in the fluid and kept opening and closing its mouth...so cute!!! i was watching while the tech was taking pics of all the parts and i think i saw a little penis between the legs but she was just mving so fast that i couldnt get a clear picture...could have been the cord or nothing..who knows...we will have to wait until may 20th i guess...maybe sooner..hopefully :) i also felt hiccups the other night whil laying in bed...it was so cute but i remeber with my first it was not cute when ur like 35 weeks and huge and the hiccups feel like big jerking movements and it gets kind of annoying!!!

Thursday, 31 Jan

well here i am...at 24 weeks..almost 25!! yay it seems these last few weeks have gone by fast..i hope they continue to!! i have been dealing with some serious emotions lately and it is not fun...this pregnancy has been so much more emotional than my last...maybe a sign its a girl???? hope so...

so i am really mad today and with good reason...my hubbys guy friends are planning this trip to vegas about a month after my due date for a stag...yes thats right a stag...we live in canada...so of course i said i didnt want my hubby to go and he kind of knew that before he even told me about the plans...and there are various reasons why i dont want him to go

1-way too much money to be spending on a drunkin stag party

2-four weeks after my due date..what if im 2 weeks over due?!?!

3-he has done sometihng since we have gotten married that somewhat broke my trust that he would behave himself down there with out me

4-all of his friends that are going have all cheated on their girlfriends or wives at some point in their relationship so i dont trust them to keep him outof trouble

5-we havent even gone on our OWN honneymoon yet because we wanted to wait until after this baby is a few months old so i dont think its fair for him to take off on a vacation without menow i know my hubby loves me and wouldnt INTENTIONALLY do anything to hurt me but i know they will all be drunk the whole time and i just cant trust that because he has hurt my trust once already...so anyways a girlfriend of the guy who is getting married talked to me last night and asked me why my hubby cant go and i said for numerous reasons and then started basically listing off what i wrote on here(PS her fiance has cheated on her a few times..dont think she knows)and then she was like `oh dont worry about the boys blah blah blah they will be good i knwo they will ` (so she obviously doesnt know he cheated!!) and then she continued to say `your hubby is a good guy and he works really hard for his family(which he does!)and when you got pregnant the first time he could have just walked away and left you but he didnt he took resposibility and stayed with you through that adn now your married so i think you owe it to him `...YES you are reading right...she thinks i owe it to him for not leaving me when i got pregnant at 18!!!!!!!!!!!(first time we got pregnatn it obviously wasnt planned and we only knew eachother like 4 months!) and yes it was mature of him to step up a take the responsibility but it was also HIS resposibility to take...i didnt just get pregnant on my own...i was so mad when she said that that i just hung up!!! and my hubby doesnt think that way that i `owe it to him ` or anything like that...it just makes me so mad that she had the nerve to say that to me..especially at a very sensitive time when i am pregnant...i almost wanted to just blurt out that i knew her fiance cheated but i figured that would just add fuel to the fire and i didnt want to deal with anymore than what i already have!!!

well aside from all the drama in my life right now the pregnancy is going good...im starting to notice a change in belly size about every 2 weeks which is exxciting!! when i had my last u/s at 22 weeks they said the baby weighed in at 1lb 1oz...u dont know if that is big or not butmy first which was a boy was born at 7lb 1oz so i cant imagine this baby is going to be much bigger than that...especially since me and my hubby arent very big...we do have one name picked out for a boy..samuel tristan...i LOVE the movie legends of the fall with brad pitt and those were two of the brothers names in the movie...and we had samuel picked out for our other son also but so far we dont have any girls names picked out...i have so many that i like its hard to narrow down the options :)

well i have been having a crappy few days :( i think i am starting to develope depression or something...mentally something is wrong...i feel embarrassed to say it and somewhat ashamed...honestly all i do all day is cry and when i am not crying i am thinking about something sad that would make me cry...i feel stressed out all the time and can barley contain my tears as i type this...if i didnt have a 2yr old running around the house i would prolly just lay in bed all day and do nothing but iknow i need to get up and function and try to put on a happy face for my son but somedays its so hard...i thinks maybe because this pregnancy has been so different from my first one...with my son i had practically no emotion which i find strange but this time i am so overwhelmed with emotion that i just dont know what to do...i am constantly thinking my hubby is cheating on me...which i know is totally not true and just my acting physco but i just get so jelous over nothing and thats not my usual self...i saw that he has this picture on the computer of a nice looking pair of boobs in a bra with a stupid saying under the picture...and i know its just one of thise stupid guy things but when i saw that i totally felt like i am not good enough for him because my boobs dont look like that at all and i feel like he is looking for satisfaction elsewhere because im not up to par which is not true and i would normally not even think twice about a silly picture...i know this is all in my head but its honestly all i think about all day...i just feel disgusting in my own skin this pregnancy and i hate that feeling...i feel like no one wants to be around me and i have basically stopped talking to most of my friends for that reason...i am so stressed over getting stretch marks because im scared that it will make me look unattractive to my hubby (even tho he says it wouldnt bother him)but i would just feel so ugly because i wouldnt look like those girls in those sexy guy magazines and such...AAHHHHHH...i am driving myself crazy!!!!! i am seriously considering making an appt with a shrink or something because i cant go another 15 weeks bawling my head off everyday....any advice???

26 WEEKS 29 weeks!!

30weeks5days...and someone told me i look like i am carrying twins!!!!

Friday, 22 Feb

well i guess its time for another update...everyone has been asking if i am feeling better than before (with the depression and such) and yes i am feeling much better...i think its because i felt like this pregnancy would never end and it was the dead of winter and we were in the middle of renovations so the house was a mess!!! but now that the snow is melting (LOTS) here and we are almost finished the renos i can see the light and the end of the tunnel and i am just getting more and more excited!! after my next prenatal appt my doc is going to have me coming every 2 weeks so that will make time fly by...it already seems as though i was just 20 weeks and now here i am almost 28!! at my next appt i think me and my doc are going to discuss early induction because of the pain i am having in my back...i am suffering from severe sciatic nerve pain and boy am i SUFFERING!!! if any of you ladies deal with this you willknow what i mean!! sometimes it hurts so bad that it actually makes my legs go numb and i have to walk like i have a stick in my ass because if i make too much movement its just a horrible shooting pain in my backand down my legs...and dont get me started on rolling over in bed and getting out of bed!! its like a 1o step prcedure...so anyways my doc was thinking that as long as baby is growing fine and everything is normal that she may induce around 37/38 weeks!!! fingers crossed!!

well i guess it is time for another update!! i am 32 weeks (according to this site still in week 31) and i am feeling exhausted!!! i would like to be able to just lay in bed all day...seriously!! my little guy keeps me so busy i barely have a chance to sit in a day but i guess it does make the days go along a little faster..oh well i best be getting used to it because soon i will have him to deal with as well as alittle baby...we got a double stroller(the kind where a toddler can sit on a bench on the back) so i am glad this baby will be here just in perfect time to use it...we also live in a more mature part of town so there are lots of parks and walking trails in the area..i plan on using this stroller LOTS to drop the baby weight...i didnt have a problem losing it with my first so i am hopeing it will be the same way this time..fingers crossed...i am naturally a thin person so having this extra weight on my body is very taxing both physically and emotionally...at my last ultrasound i was 29 weeks and they were a little concerned because baby was still in the breech position but then last week when i went for my doc appt the baby had turned so that is good news...i thought that it maybe did because all of a sudden one day i noticed the movements that i was feeling were a lot stronger at the top of my belly rather than the bottom...it did have movement at the top before but they wree very light movements but now it feels like distinct kicks..and strong at that so im confidant that baby is in proper position...aside from the sore back still and lots of peeing i havent had much to complain about...actually now that i think about it i have noticed that my pubic bone and surrounding area is really tender??? im sur this is normal just the pressure from the growing baby but it is rather annoying...and it doesnt hurt all day just when i touch my pubic bone...im going to bring it up at my next appt which is this upcoming thursday...wow time is going pretty fast!! i just cant weait to meet this new person and to find out the sex...it is really KILLING me...i have a strong feeling it is a boy but i really dont know...i would be very suprised if it turned out to be girl :)
