Well I havent been on here in a long time and really wanted to be apart of this again. I cant believe Averie is 5 months already! She is getting so big. I also cant belive some of the things she is doing already. She found her feet awhile ago (which she loves to bite and play with), shes giggling, trying to crawl, and her first tooth broke thru this morning. She had been sleeping thru the night since she was two months old but now for some reason she wont sleep thru the night. I think its because shes teething. OOHH and she does kisses.... if you ask for kisses and put your face up to her she will lean in and give u kisses. Its the cutest thing ever.

I never knew I could love someone sooo much! She my everything. Every morning I love getting up and shes just chillin in her crib talking to her self and biting on her toes. She can almost sit on her own but she gets tired then falls over. We went to the docs last week. She weighs 17 lbs and is 26 inches long. She a big girl but shes healthy. She also went back to the cardiologist recently and had been dismissed and wont have to go back for a yr. So thank goodness for that. He said the Atrial flutter shouldnt come back. Well Im sure I forgot some stuff but will update again!! Take care and hope to hear from u! :)

SHES HERE!!! AVERIE DANIEL!! ARRIVED JANUARY 7TH AT 2:26PM. 8LBS, 3OZS, 22 IN LONG!!!

My doctor had seen me the week before and my blood pressure was out of control. She recommended that I come in twice a week. So at my 2nd apt the week of the 7th I went in for a nonstress test just like every visit. My apt was at 1:30 but they were running late. I got called in at 1:45. I sat down and they found her heartbeat at 210. It scared the crap out of me. Exspecially since her heartrate had always been between 130-160. So the doctor rushed me over to labor and delivory. It all happened so fast... They told me to change into a gown and before I could sit on the bed they had all the monitors hooked up to me and trying to figure out what was going on with her heartrate. Well my doc met me over in my room and they had 5 nurses and two doctors trying to get an iv line into my arm and trying to draw blood. The doctor then stated "We are going to have this baby right now, by c-section, and its going to be quick". She then proceeded to tell me that I might have to be put to sleep because they didnt want to wait for the epidural to work. Mean while my husband is still at work in Marlboro. Which is 20 min away if there is no traffic. Thank god my sister was with me. She called him and told him to get here asap. They then rolled me out on a bed and got me into the or room and did the epidural which I was greatful because my husband would be able to be there with me. They started the c-section and just as they were about to pull Averie out My husband was able to come in and be with me. The most unexplainable experience in my life. They got her out and her heartrate was still high so they took her right to the nursary. It took longer for the doctors to finish putting me back together than to have Averie taken out. They finished me up and wheeled me back to my room. Then the cardiologist came in and told me that they were going to have to take Averie to a different hospital across the city to help her. What she had was a Atrial Flutter. The doctor explained that her heart was beating a little fast and there was a procedure they could do to fix it. At this point I still have not even gotten the chance to hold her yet. Before I knew it she was being wheeled into my room so I could see her before they took her to another hospital with the NICU. I then was told I would be transfered to that hospital too. I was releived to hear that. I followed her 4 hrs later. Her cardiologist then called and said the procedure worked and her heartrate was fine but they had to monitor her for four days in the NICU! Thank God everything was fine. I was discharged on friday and she was discharged on saturday. It sucked not being able to bring your baby home with you but she was able to come home the next day!! I never knew I could love someone so much. She Beautiful!!

My husband and i are expecting our first baby!! After trying to conceive for over a yr - We are so excited! We just had our 16 week afp test and everything looked ok except the trisomy 18 came back positive!! I am so scared! They offered for me to have an amnio so i went in and the needle wasnt long enough!!!!! wth?! so now i am sceduled for another amnio for this coming monday! Does any one have any advice or great words please let me know! IM SOOOO SCARED!!

Well we received our results today and everything is ok. we are expecting a healthy baby girl!!!! Thank goodness all that stress is gone. I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR ALL THEIR SUPPORT AND PRAYERS I DONT KNOW HOW I WOULD HAVE MADE IT WITH OUT YOUR SUPPORT!!!!!!! ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well like I said before my husband and I had been trying to have a baby for over a yr. We even started to search infertility specialists. My husband and family are my strength! My husband is the kindest most genuine person you will ever meet. The last yr has been hard for my family , You see we lost my dad last year. He was our everything. Our strength, friend, and father. We were trying to conceive before he passed. But this May we found out we were expecting!! I made a website to remember my dad and the legend hw was/is. http://daniel-dion.memory-of.com/ And we just found out the other day we are having A GIRL!!!!! We wanted to include my dad so badly we decided that Averie's middle name will be Daniel. Thats my dads name! He would be so proud of his family exspecially his granddaughter. I know he is watching over her. She will know everything about her grandfather - including his kindness, generosity, humor, and love! Miss you lots Daddy!

This is my husbands reaction when I told him we were expecting our first baby ~ Averie! How Priceless! And this is us after we were able to compose ourselves. :)

September 27th

Well today I had my followup ultrasound from the amnio we had done weeks ago. All the measurements came back great!!! Averie weighs about 1lb 9oz. I thought it was a little big for her and the week I was (23 weeks) but they seemed to be pleased with it. SO I'm not concerned. The tech who did the ultrasound pushed a little hard to make sure they got all pics and measurement needed. By the end of the night I was in tears because I was soar. I wasnt sure if that was normal so it made me so scared.

September 28th

I had a regular baby doctor apt. My doc seemed to be pleased with all the info and measurements. I asked about the soarness from the night/ day before and she said thats normal to feel like that. Made me feel 100% better. We heard the heartbeat again, its SOOOOO AMAZING!! Sounded so strong and healthy! The doc said after my next apt at the end of October I will have to be seen every week after, due to being a high risk. ~~ Its amazing to love someone so much before you ever meet them. Its a great feeling!! ~~

October 4th

Well I am feeling pretty good!! I truly feel so blessed. A little tired but all is well ! :) I hope all mommies-to-be are doing great! I just got all my upcoming apt. Theres a lot of them... but i have no problem with that! Anything for Averie!

I did just step on a peice of glass and being diabetic have to be really careful. My husband got the peice of glass and cleaned it out, but said i shoule have it checked just in case :) .... Doctor Will..... hes going to be a great dad! so cute!

October 16th, 2007

Well I havnt updated in awhile so I figured I would today. I have been feeling great!! I have been very lucky and grateful for that! Now I can feel Averie move any time of day in any postition. Like earlier in my pregnancy I could only feel flutters when resting or laying down. Now I can feel her all the time ~ and i LOVE IT!! This morning she kicked me and it felt really low. Kinda took my breath away. :) I wasnt expecting it. My sister (auntiedawn) felt her for the first time the other day and her face was priceless. I LOVE BEING PREGNANT!!!!!!! its the greatest gift we could have received. My baby shower is November 11th. I cant wait!!!!

Our wedding anniversary is on friday ~ October 19th!! 5 Years!! Its been great and am so grateful for my husband!! He is going to make a great dad.

I have gained about 23 lbs since the begining of my pregnancy. oops! And I was told I have to stop working. :) I never thought I would hear those words. Soo I have to go in and give my notice. YAY!!!! I love my career but I would rather have my Averie safe and sound. I'm soo excited. And they scheduled ultrasounds every three weeks until shes born. Ohh boy its getting so close. I CANT WAIT!!

My precious little baby,
I have loved you from the start.
You are a tiny miracle
Laying closely to my heart.
Each day I feel your presence,
Each day you quickly grow,
Each day your heart beats softly,
As only I could know.
So, I'll keep this in a special place
And remember each year through,
Of this special time in my life
In the months I carried you.

Love you Averie, I cant wait to see you!!

<3 Love Mommy and Daddy <3

October 31st, 2007 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Well this morning I was woken up by Averie moving around so much. I love to feel her move but this amount of movement scared me. I got a little nervous. so I sat up and she fixed her self. She's still moving but not as crazy. Other than that I am feeling great. I only have 7 more days of work and now all my clients are coming in and I have to tell them I am finished till She arrives. Works not too happy with me but I honestly "Don't give a Crap"! My husband's very excited I can stop working, he's wanted me to stop working for awhile but as soon as the doctor said "your done" no questions were asked. The 10th is my last day - and I can't wait. Not quit sure what I'm going to do withh my time but I'm sure I'll figure some things to do :)Well I wish Everyone the best with their pregnancies and good luck!

Novemeber 5th, 2007

Today We had our 29 week apt. We had to do a non-stress test. Averie was not cooperating! She was not feeling the whole test thing. But everything looks good and bp is ok. her hb was between 138 and 158 because when she moved it would increase. They were very happy with it. Then we had an ultrasound done for measurements also. Averie is getting bigger! YAY!! she is weighing 3lbs 4ozs. Im also measuring as if im 30 weeks. While we were in the middle of the ultrasound Averie decide to play with her foot. She wiggled her toes then grabbed her foot then let go of it then grabbed it again!! It was so cute!! Actually it was amazing! We will continue to see the doctor every week and will do a stress test also. So thats it for today!

Novemeber 15th, 2007

We had our baby shower on sunday the 11th!! IT WAS AMAZING!!! We received everything we possibly needed and then some. It took me 3 hrs to open gifts! I had to wait to get home and really look through everything. Everyone was extremly generous. We received the swing, pack-n-play, stroller, car seat, more clothes, diapers, wipes, the crib bedding, hugh gift baskets, and everything else we and Averie could possibly need. Thanks to my mom and sister I had the best babyshower ever!!!

Well tomorrow We have our weekly apt when then just ck me and to a nonstress test. I will write tomorrow to keep track of what goes on.

December 13th, 2007

Well I had my 34 week apt yesterday. I hated every minute of it. My OBGYN was out and will be out for two weeks and I had to see another doctor. I HATED HIM! Never thought I woud miss MY doctor. I was supposed to have a certain test done yesterday that my doctor told me would be done yesterday but that doctor said he wouldnt do it. WTF! He seemed like a real dip shit. I couldnt understand him, He was all over the place then asked me if he could look at my chart, so I said yes then he asked if he could have it. I said to him I dont have it. I really wanted to say " I dont carry it in my damn bag" . Then he was mumbling some kind of story .... i dont know - what a dink! Anywho I am seen every week and have been for awhile because of my diabeties, so I am supposed to be seen next week and I WILL NOT SEE THAT DOCTOR!! AAAHHH! I have my ultrasound this Monday - which I hope is not canceled because we are getting back to back snow storms. I usually would love the snow storms but I am so anxious to see how big Averie is. OOOOHHHH ya and the doctor mentioned that MY doctor is looking at me having Averiie at 38 weeks which is 3 weeks away. OOOOOHHHHHH BOY!
