Hey everyone! Im new to this site. I just discovered it while i was browsing through a bunch of pregnancy information i was looking up. I thought it seemed very helpful and neat and I'm looking to chat with other mother to be's!
I am pregnant with my first child, Im 22 weeks almost 23 (monday). We had the week 20 ultrasound and found out we are having a little boy! It took us awhile to figure out a name for him. My fiance and I couldn't agree on much, then he decided to agree with me for matters sake. We are naming him Hayden Lee.
He is due March 24th 2008. I am really excited, we had been trying to have a baby for a long time. It was difficult because I had just gotten off the shot a few years ago so it took us awhile to be able to concieve but it happend! I am greatful! I can't wait to be a mother. I am still a little young, i will admit. I think im ready for whats to come and i can't wait to learn more about babies having hayden is going to be a great blessing.
I want 3 kids at the most. No more then that. Hopefully after hayden we'll get pregnant with a little girl! we were hoping for a little girl our first time around, there is just so many boys in the family, but im not going to complain! Im going to love him unconditionally! Anyways, thats all i can really say for now. Hoping to chat with other mothers, since this is my first time i think chatting with others will make me feel more comfortable for whats to come! 
Congratulations!

Today I woke up feeling like shit. I am 23 weeks today! wahoo! I just wish it would go by faster. I looked into the mirror today and my face looks drained and swollen and i look like i havent slept in years! My little one was bundled up on my left side of my stomach this morning. I was watching him kick me from the outside. I woke chris up just to feel it and see, but he was grouchy cuz he has to work today. Sometimes i feel like im the only one interested and amazed by this baby. I feel really irritable today and insanley hungry. I can't wait for my next appt! December 10th! I want to hear his heartbeat again.

Today I am 23 weeks and 3 days pregnant! whoohoo! Hayden has been kicking tremendously the past few days, in fact, i felt his foot gliding on my side the other nite. The weirdest thing i have felt through months i have been pregnant with him. He is definantly a kicker. He has the hiccups alot. My stomach has been jumping all over. I can't wait til i finally just hit the big 30! ill feel more comfortable knowing he is almost here. I couldnt wait to hit my 20's area but not i just want this to go faster. 
Friday, 30 Nov
OMG! last nite was bad for me. Around midnight I had this sharp pain in my right side and it was in the right side of my back to. I couldnt lay on my left side, or my back. I could hardly breath it hurt so bad. I woke up becuz of it twice and in the middle of the night i had to sit up cuz the pain was too unbearable to lay down. Does anyone know what that could have been or has felt the same thing? Well today I go for my insurance interview, trying to get my insurance transfered. Wish me luck.

Hey everyone! I am 24 weeks and didnt update til now, everything has been stressful lately. My fiance and I have been fighting and ive been overwhelmed and crying. Im kinda scaring myself becuz stress isnt good for the baby. I am overwhelmed with not being able to get anything done lately without my fiance's help. So we've been arguing over doing this and getting that and this done lately. I feel like im alone and that the only person i can depend on is myself unfortanantly. I have my next prenatal appt in 3 days! i really cant wait becuz the last month has been so hard and i want to know if my little guy is doin okay! i hope his heart is still beating strong. I really need to learn how to cope with this stress and relax and i def need to stay away from them damn cappuchinos! ive been drinking alot of them lately cuz its been cold out! Another thing i am stressing about is the baby shower. There is just so much lately that has been bothering me. I need a vacation. Anyone feel me? 
Monday, 10 Dec
So today I am week 25! HECK YES! gettin so close! can't wait til i finally just hit the big 30!
Had a doctors appt today at 2:15. Haydens heartbeat is still strong! 150's. I was so relieved. The little guy hasnt been moving all that much for a few days! guess he's gettin lazy.
Ive gained 19 pounds so far! i think that was a little much cuz she said she'll go ahead and count thanksgiving. LOL. So i guess i need to slow it down. My blood pressure and temperature and urine were all great!
She gave me some other samples of prenatal vitamins to take cuz the ones i get i cannot keep down at all even if i eat before i have them. She also gave me my glucose drink for my next appt for the gestational diabetes test. My next appt is January 2nd. The day after my 19th birthday. My next appt ill be week 28 then after that my appts will start being closer together. I'll finally be in the 3rd Trimester.
Im excited cuz it is getting so close for him to be born and i cant wait! yaay! Also found out that I will most likely be able to have a normal birth! which is great. NO C SECTION! well least i hope not haha! Everything is goin great and im so happy! I can't wait til the baby shower as well but i will admitt i am a little nervous.

As of yesterday I am now 26 weeks pregnant! two more weeks and I'll have to have my glucose tolerance test! BLUCK! im really not looking forward to the idea of getting poked! ouch! but i can do it. Lately my toothaches have been getting severe. Then i have to keep taking tylenol it bites. I really hate taking tylenol being pregnant or anything. I know its not bad for you but idk. Medicine makes me weary since this is my first and until he comes out being a perfectly healthy baby boy im going to wrry. Christmas is coming up! im so excited! i get loads of money for christmas and im thinking about spending most of it on Hayden. It was chris and I's one year the 16th. We went to go see the alvin and the chipmunks movie, then went out to eat then did some late nite shopping and bought hayden some more stuff. I had so much fun. Wealp thats all i have to say for now! come on week 27 get here faster!

Today is December 24th! Merry Merry Christmas Eve Everyone! I am 27 weeks pregnant as of today. I havent updated in awhile. Been a little busy and lazy at the same time. Not so much is going on at this time. Kicks are getting harder everyday and i can feel my little one stretching. So adorable. Ive been poking back at his little kicks and he `s been kicking back everytime i poke him! haha. A little mother son bonding! how cute! Next week is my week 28 appt. The glucose test! hope it comes out fine! i dont want to have to sit through one of them 4 hour testings if not. After my week 28 appt my appts will be more closer together! He will be here in 91 more days! its so exciting and I hope he will be born a healthy little baby. I get kinda worried becuz ive been around alot of ppl that have been smoking! *coughs* as well as my craving for alot of chocolate *so not healthy* and my sips of caffiene and cappuchino here and there. Just hope none of those things affect him all that much! Wealp! thats all i really have to say for now. :) ill update next week! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! Tuesday, 1 Jan
As of yesterday i am 28 weeks. today i am 28 weeks and 1 day and its my birthday today. yaay.im 19 finally. happy new year everyone. hope you guys had a good one. new years was definantly different for me this year becuz i usually go out to parties every year and drink but not this time around. it actually didnt bother me. Tommorow i have an appt and i have to do the glucose tolerance test for gestational diabetes. I `m not really looking forward to that. I hope it comes out negative that i dont have diabetes. Hayden is starting to cause pain everytime he packs a kick. Last nite his daddy had his last gig with his band replay. When his solo came up Hayden started going nuts. hehe. guess what that means, yup drummer. Anyways, ill update tommorow after my appt. wish me luck and happy new year again to everyone.

28 weeks pregnant

Well i suppose i better update about my gestational diabetes test. had the appt on the 2nd. The drink started out okay then just got disgusting. I got a little woozy after i drank it for a little bit then i started to ease up. They took my blood. Said i was going to get the results back the next day. Never got a phone call...im wondering what is taking so god forbidding long. I hope i pass this. I `ve gained 2 pounds. i weigh 132. Everything is going good so far. Heartbeat is still beating strong. Blood pressure is good. Urine is fine. So im glad everything is okay. I wish they did ultrasounds every month to show us mothers how much are babies progress over time. That would be joyous. Today i have a headache. I am however a little sleepy too. Backs been hurting alot more. Very uncomfortable finding a pleasing position to just fall asleep at. My hips and pelvis start to cramp up at nite too. Dr. said it was my body letting off a relaxin which is making my bones sensitive so therefore since baby is laying there. Its really sensitive and uncomfortable and since he `s getting bigger pain has progressed more. My left boob is starting to irritate me. Underneath, its like itchy and sometimes i have to sleep with my hand underneath it. haha funny. i dont exactly know why. I dont have stretch marks on my belly at all. I only have them on my boobs. yuck. My second wisdom tooth is starting to grow in. Its been a real bitch. Toothaches are getting horrible. They were severe in my first trimester. I have two absess teeth that need pulled and being pregnant doesnt help it. Everything is just getting worse it seems like and my midwife said its going to get rough since we are now in the third trimester. She said the best thing we can do is bare with it. she said they have pain medication if the pain gets severe but she said shed rather hold off on it becuz if i need it later it might not take as much effect on me. So even tho this pregnancy is getting so rough on my body. I `m tryin to tough it out as much as possible. I know that it all will be worth it when my lil guy is here in my arms. I `m doing it for him. I `d definantly die for my child to live and so id definantly go through this just getting him here. Well when i get my freaking test results back from the glucose test ill be sure to let everyone know how it went. My next appt is Jan 16th at nine thirty.
Monday, 28 Jan
wow..i havent updated for a very long time. I guess you could say ive either been really lazy lately. I am 32 weeks today well technically from week 20 ultrasound 33 weeks which is kinda the date im kinda going by becuz of how much pain ive been in and how big ive gotten. So he `s either going to be here in the end of february or early march i do not doubt it. I dont think i will make it all the way to week 40 at all. I got to see him through ultrasound my last doctors appt she needed to see if his head was where its suppose to be and it was, thank god. She said if it wasnt shed have to move him...ouch that would hurt. So i hope his head stays in the right place and goes in the right place when i go into labor. I dont want no breech baby or possible c section. That would really blow. Got my glucose results back a few weeks ago. I dont have gd. Although I am a little anemic. They also thought i had pluerisy becuz i have some chest pains here and there and its hard to breath but it ended up just being acid reflux. I ended up crying in the fricken doctors office becuz the bozo made me feel HUGE. My fiance laughed at me. I felt like shit but a little embarassed cuz i couldnt hold back my emotions and how awful that felt. I went into the gas station and was standing in the drinking aisle debating on what the crap i should get to drink..and some woman came in the aisle looked down at my belly and gave it a dirty look...and im like.. `wtf ` obviously shes never seen a pregnant girl before. That was bullcrap. Anyways enuff of that, its hard to walk. Pain severly in my lower crotch. My crotchbone even hurts, when i lay down and try to stand up i want to fall back down. All my bones and muscles are completly sore and my doctor said becuz they are moving becuz the baby is getting so big. I should ask her next time how big she thinks he is lol. Exciting news our photographer friend took our pregnancy photos, i havent seen all of them. not until this afternoon. I have a sample of one that is so amazing so look below. Its nice having our own personal photographer that does them for no charge cuz we are seriously broke as poor for awhile. Chris got a new job. thank god. we needed the money. Welp, i think thats all that has been going on for now. I `ll update this wednesday after my doctors appts. Later mommies...;]

Hey everyone!!!!!! Okay so I had my appt today at 9:00am. I went in there all tired and draggy this morning. Ugh! well routine, she checked my urine, alls well there. Weighed me, I now weigh 150- A little over she said!oh well screw it! I eat alot so i guess its my fault. She took my temperature- all is well there too. Then she blurted that she `ll be doing more blood work! YUCK! I `m so sick of getting poked with those damn things. This whole pregnancy Ive had blood taken 4 freaking times!! but this is the last she said she needed to check everything one more time before I go into labor. As she was taking my blood I felt really really dizzy, I didnt eat anything before i went and ive been out of prenatals and iron for my anemia for a week! so all that didnt make it any better if i would have known i was going to get blood taken again i would have at least had something to eat!Finally, got in the room. I had my group B strep test done today. She also checked for diseases again, and oh my god the Q tip didnt feel that pleasant at all! then she asked me if I wanted her to check my cervix to see if anything has changes..and i surely said yes not knowing how uncomfortable that was going to be holy crap! That didnt feel great either, and yet im disappointed, he hasnt dropped, she said dont expect him to til a few more weeks since this is my first pregnancy and my cervix is ....CLOSED!!! man o man! can we make some progress Hayden! So i dont think he `s going to be here early afterall. DAMNIT!My appts are every week now, goodie. My next appt is March 6th at 4:00pm. I made this one late so Christopher can go with me this time, I `ll be getting my results back from all my tests when I go back in. I hope everything is good. I know that my Iron is going to be low because i havent had any iron to take. But, I have some now so I `m all good. No more dizzy spells and fatigue! hopefully! Anywho, she told me I should go ahead and start packing my hospital bag. Which I think I might do that tonite. All i will need is pajamas, snacks, chapstick,hairties, socks and anything else ill want to bring, as well as a bikini top or bra and shorts incase I want to get into the jaccuzi to relax...which i think that sounds pretty darn good! But anyways! lets hope that in a few weeks at least he will be dropped and my cervix will be open! Man when I hear a difference I am going to smile nonstop! but for now im really bumming because i just want to get it over with.So, until next appt I `ll talk to you guys later! wish me luck and hope he comes soon!I `ll be 37 weeks tommorow!!!!!!

Okay, so I just got back from my doctors appt.urine-goodblood pressure-goodtemperature-goodweight-156!!!!! (holy crap!) Went back into the room, Stacey measured me, I am measuring a week ahead. So week 38...He `s still growin! haha. She felt my tummy, and exciting news! his position has changed.. he is head down, but theres bad news to that also, he is face up, not face down like he should be! arggh! so i have to try new sitting positions and hopefully she said that `ll get him to turn. If he doesnt there are things they can do to get him into the right position, otherwise if they dont I will have bad back labor, becuase the back of his head is really hard which is grinding on my spine at the moment which is why my back has been really killing me. *sigh* so lets hope he just flips on his own.I got my results back from my group B strep test, I tested positive for it. So that means I will have to come in ahead of time of my labor and have antibiotics. What a bummer! She checked my cervix, STILL CLOSED! NOT DIALATED! NOT EVEN A CM!!!!!!!! she says its normal... for first time mommy.. hello! how many of my friends that are first time mommies hadnt dialated at week 38 or sooner!? Well im still anemic on top of it all. I knew it. I also knew i was going to test positive for group b strep.. Shit like that never fails for me... damnit. haha. but anyways, my next appt is march 13th which was his due date from week 20 ultrasound...yeah i dont think so. Lets hope by that time there will be some changes in my cervix and he is where he is suppose to be...welp ... wish me luck everyone! and ill update you guys later... but for now leave some love and luck.

WEEK 39 AND STILL NO BABY! OMG DUDES!POSSIBLY GETTING INDUCED?!?AFRAID SO.
Saturday, 29 Mar
Well i had my baby boy finally! he was born march 21st at 12:08 pm. He weighed in at 7lbs 15.6oz and was 21 inches long. Pretty healthy baby. The story was so weird. Earlier that day i told chris my stomach felt tight and that i felt weird, i also felt pretty exhausted. Chris had went to work the nite before since he works third shift and all, well his friend munchkin bob that gives him a ride to work, his wife called at work because she was having a reaction to a medicine she was taking so he had to go home, so he told chris lets go, at 3:40 chris walked in the door, i woke up and had asked what he was doing home so early, he told me bout bobs wife, then said he popped his knee out of place, he said he had to go downstairs to show his dad so i said wait a minute ill go with i have to pee, well before he got home i felt this gush of warmth come out, just thought it was a little discharge, but as soon as i got up to go pee it all came flowing down my leg, i looked at chris and told him i as leaking, and it wasnt discharge, so my pants became extremly soaked! i went downstairs and it trickled everywhere! went to the bathroom and i was still leaking! called stacey my midwife and had told her what happend.She said well it sounds like your water broke, go to the hospital to get checked. So here i am all nervous and excited at the same time, but was utterly confused cuz the day before i had a doctors appt and nothing had changed and i was going to get induced on tuesday, well haha what a crazy thing! So chris is getting ready to take me, picking my bag up for me, i get in the car and off we go to the hospital, they rolled me up to the ob and as she was rolling me up there it felt so unreal and all i could think about was...’this could be it’ and they checked my cervix and if the qtip turned blue it was for sure my water broke...and welp it was blue! i was so excited yet soooo scared!they started me on antibiotics since i tested positve for group b strep. I wasnt having contractions for awhile even tho it was saying i was, so they started me on some pitocin to get contractions to last longer and stronger, bout an hour later i was feeling it pretty good, wasnt all that bad really, just a lot of deep breaths i had to take, i was 1cm dialated. They put me in the jacuzzi for a bit. It was so relaxing! Another hour passed and i was 2cm dialated and only 84 percent, effaced..at that point i was saying oh great ive been in labor what...6-7 hours and still only 2 cm dilated! Later here comes dr harris, i knew he gave c sections! so as soon as i seen him i started bawling and then he broke the news that his head was to big and i just wasnt dialating, but what they didnt tell me was the cord was wrapped around his neck twice! ahhh!!!!! so they had to do a c section, alot of things were going through my mind at this time, there was no way out of it and i just couldnt relax, so there i went to the OR. They gave me the anesthesia and instantly i felt nauseous and couldnt breath that well, and then i really felt sick and started dry heaving and then puked up the red jello i had eaten while i was in labor! yuck...nurses were talking to me trying to get me to calm down but i felt so weird, then i couldnt feel a thing and was tired, Chris said you here that..15 more minutes! I was so out of it tho, i didnt even know they were already cutting me open! Then the moment i have been waiting for ...I hear my little boy take his first cry and i couldnt even explain how much i was relieved that he was finally here! stacey brought him over to me and said ’lookey, this is your little boy’ and i had tears coming down my eyes and was so in love with him instantly, he is such a beautiful baby so much more beautiful then what i had imagined him to be. Its so crazy. But as that all passed, they first took me to the recovery room where the worst pain i ever felt took place, they were squeezing all the afterbirth out of me a big blood clot in my uterus! i was cussing and screaming, omg it hurt so bad! Then after that they started the breastfeeding, he did really well at first but i have to use a nipple shield now to feed cuz he wont latch onto me without it. It helps so much and i can honestly say breastfeeding is going really well. I am the happiest ever even tho i havent got any sleep at all! i feel much more closer to chris and so much more in love with him knowing he was there for me and that he gave me such a beautiful baby. Everything is perfect for me and i cant wait to watch him grow each and everyday. Being a parent is the toughest job thats no lie, its frustrating at times but its such a great expeirence and feeling and im so happy i was able to expeierence such a beautiful thing. Thanks everyone who came to the hospital to visit me it meant so much! come by and visit anytime. We were released from the hospital around 8pm the 24th as to we had to wait for hayden to pee becuz of his circumsion. I’ll have more pics posted soon!
