Amani Kaluwevah Martinez was born on July 3, 2008 @ 1912 weighing in at 7lbs 11oz and 20 inches long! I love him sooo much!

08/25/2008

I can't believe how fast he is growing, he smiled at me for the first time last thursday :) I never knew what my life was missing before I had him, I feel so complete now! He is the sunshine in my life! I just hate worrying all the time, I am so afraid of SIDS and feel like I am doing everything wrong :( I just keep praying that God will keep him safe, I love him so much, he is my little miracle!

Hi, I am currently 8 weeks and 5 days pregnant. This is my first pregnancy and I am very nervous and excited. I got married on July 21, 2007 to the man of my dreams. I have been kinda miserable lately due to morning sickness and feeling fat but I am looking forward to my next ultrasound tomorrow! I am so excited! I am hoping that I will be able to hear the heartbeat. I am just praying that everything is still okay :)

12/20/07

I have my doctors appt. today! I am really excited and nervous. I am hoping everything is still okay. The only good thing about getting morning sickness is it makes me feel like the baby is still okay. If I didn't have any symptoms I would freak out! I am kinda sad because my husband can't make it to the appointment :( I knew that he wouldn't be able to make it to all of them but I can tell he really wants to be there. I feel bad because I have been talking about it all the time and I think I am making it worse. I really didn't realize how bad he wanted to be there until yesterday. My poor hubby :( He is such a sweetheart, I love him so much :)

12/21/07

Well I had my appt. yesterday, everything looks great! I wasn't able to hear the heart beat but I was able to see it again! I had an ultasound three weeks ago and it was so small. My doctor showed me the current one compared to the last one...wow what a difference, it has grown so much! I am so excited! I can't wait until the next time I get to see it. I have an appointment on Jan. 14 so I am hoping I get to see the little one then or at least hear the heart beat! Oh, they weighed me and I have gained 4 lbs in three weeks! That is scary I need to watch it! I still ahve a long way to go and I should only be gaining 15 lbs total...I guess that picture of the girl on the scale sums it up!

12/30/07

Hi everyone! I am so excited to be in my 10th week! I can't wait until I am in my second trimester! My tailbone has been hurting lately whenever I sit on hard surfaces. I don't really know why but it sucks. I am feeling better with the morning sickness but I have not had to get up early because I am off work until Jan. 2, I am not looking forward to going back : ( It is crazy because during the first few weeks I had cramping then that stopped and I got morning sickness and now I am feeling okay except for the tailbone thing. It seems that the symptoms just trade off. As long as my baby is doing well that is all that matters : )

01/08/08

I am feeling kinda sad lately. I feel like everwhere I go people are looking at me. I know that I have gained alot of weight, way too much for how far along I am. I am hard enough on myself as it is the last thing I need is someone judging me. I have always been very sensitive about my weight and now I am at my heaviest and it is really getting to me. I don't understand people and why they are so mean. I have my own family telling that I am fat! Why would someone say that to a pregnant, hormonal women. I know that I should not let that get to me but I am already uncomfortable around people and the only ones I felt comfortable around was family and know I don't even have that comfort. It just really sucks cause I don't want to go out in public I just want to stay home because I am embarrased. :(

01/09/08

So now my husband has a hard time figuring out which jeans are his! He is 6'3" and I am 5'3", oh well i guess... maybe we could save money and just share jeans! :) By the way today is day two of no puking! :)

01/14/08

I had my first ob appointment today! It was so cool. I was able to see the baby move! I think that I reaaly needed that, I feel so much better now! They should do ultrasounds just to keep expectant mothers spirits high. My husband was there which made me really happy... I love it when he can come! I also think that it makes it more real to him. I LOVE MY BABY!

Okay I am getting so excited about being pregnant now! I feel better and I am enjoying having a belly...everythings better now! Last night I was asking my husband if he was nervous about having a baby. He said No and that although it is going to be really hard at first we really need to enjoy it because this will be the ONLY time that this baby is a baby and it will go by so fast and we will never be able to have that experience with THIS child! I thought that that was a good way to look at it. It just really makes me happy to know that my is going to have the most wonderful father!!! :)

Well I found out that I am having a healthy baby boy...I really had a feeling it was a boy..it just makes sense that he would be a boy. I am excited about doing his room we picked out paint and I think that we are going to do a jungle theme or something.

04/03/08

I am so excited about my baby boy! I can't wait to meet him. I am having a really hard time believing that there is a little baby inside of me. I mean I feel him move alot, mostly down low, but I am having a hard time grasping that there is a 13in long 1.5lb baby inside of me!...CRAZY! I am trying my best to keep a positive attitude through the whole pregnancy thing, it is just really hard when I have some many emotions and they can change on the drop of a dime. I am feeling really alone. I know that people have gone through the same things and feel the way that I do but they are not going through it NOW. I miss my body being my own. I feel like total crap about myself and everyone pointing out the fact that I am FAT doesn't help. My husband doesn't want to be around me much anymore so that hurts my feelings but I am trying to control my hormones......I feel like I am doing better but who knows. I am having a hard time staying positive so I have been counting down the days.....I don't know how much that helps but when I really think about it when I started I had like way over 200 days and now I am at 109 :) I just want him to be here and be healthy and I am looking forward to being able to be home with him for a few months, that is the only thing that keeps me going. It is funny because when I really start feeling negative he always seems to kick me almost like he is saying "listen up lady this is not about you it is about ME! " It makes me smile :) I love him so much!

04/16/08

I am counting down the days until I have my son. I think that it will take alot of convincing to get me pregnant again. I know that he is worth every stretch mark, every pound, every emotional break down and all of the other unpleasentries of pregnancy. I am sure that once he is here all of that stuff won't matter anymore but for now I am having a hard time with it. I didn't think that pregancy would be this hard, I knew that things were going to change (stretch marks, weight gain,...) but I didn't think that it would bother me as much as it does. I guess when you figure I have probably gained like 40lbs already it makes sense. That is a major factor in the way that I feel. I don't really feel like I have been going crazy and eating everything is sight but the scale shows differently. I am working on being better and really limiting how much I eat so we will see if that makes a difference.

05/16/2008

I am finally in week 30! I am no waddling(so they tell me), my feet are swollen, I am peeing ALL the time, my back hurts when I do dishes or walk to fast and I am still getting fatter and even more stretch marks :( but I will tell you that all of that is worth it to feel my baby move! I love when he moves, even when it is uncomfortable, I like to see my stomach move...it is weird for a part of your body to be moving and not have control over it. I live how anytime I eat anything he moves around, almost like he gets excited when I eat! (I have a feeling that he is going to be a little fat ass like his momma :)) He makes me so happy already! I am ready to meet him and see what he looks like. I don't want him to come early or anything I just want time to hurry up until I have him and then slow down after he is here....is that too much to ask?

bvalley1982 - Wednesday, 2 April
this new look on the site is going to take some getting used to. how are things going?

bvalley1982 - Sunday, 30 Mar
i am strickly breast feeding. and yes it was really hard at first, and it still can be frustrating. but at the same time its such a wonderful experience that it makes it worth it. at the beginning befor my milk came in aidan hadnt pooped so we took him to see the dr. a day befor his appt. and he was weighed and had lost 7% of his birth weight which isnt too bad but the dr.sent me to see the lactation consultant who gave me lots of support and that night my milk came in and aidan pooped. the next day we took him back to the dr for his reg. appt and he was only 1 oz. away from his birth weight! when you breast feed poops and pees let you know hes getting enough so every diaper change gives you a little more motivation to keep on truckin.
have you thought about which your going to do? i probably wont continue breastfeeding when i go back to work cus i get so dirty and exposed to who knows what and it breaks my heart. actually it has really been killing me that i have to go back to work at all. you'll see what i mean, the hormones after hes born are so much worse (for me anyways) the first night at home i just bawled my eyes out! i was so overwhelmed with my feelings i almost tore a stich, haha. i kid

MommaD - Saturday, 29 Mar
People can't believe Im due in July either. I've been trying so hard not to become a blimp and gain 55 lbs like I did with my first. But I've already gained 19, so I'm heading down the same path. :(

bvalley1982 - Friday, 28 Mar
its so wonderfull to finally be able to hold him. and he makes me get excited about the weirdest things. like when he burps, or poops. anyways you'll know very soon (but it doesnt seem that way). :)

JennSever - Thursday, 27 Mar
same here - my boobies are just out of control. your nipples will darken due to hormone and (i heard) to help the baby find it easier. as for the veins, isn't that something! hahaha pregnancy crap is good...

sarahj82 - Friday, 21 Mar
Hey girl, just checking to see how everything is going, hope ll is well.

bvalley1982 - Wednesday, 12 Mar
well your wedding pic is beautifull! i really like amani. ive never heard anyone with that name. where do you and your husband meet? does he work in the yard, too?

bvalley1982 - Wednesday, 12 Mar
yeah if i was him i wouldnt come out either. actually i was 2 weeks or 1 one week late for my mom. i wasnt a 10 pounder like you but the labor was going longer than the dr was comfortable with and he thought that was because my head was really big (and it is hahaha no no beside the point) so he gave my mom the epsitory whatever its called when they cut you, anyways my head wasnt big (i was a 6 maybe 7 pounder). but my mother lets me know that her sex life has NEVER been the same because of me. hahaha! so i was checking out your baby name and im wondering if its hawaiian? i see your hubby is wearing a lei, where did you guys tie the knot? i love hawaii (from a distance i cant really stand the humid weather) because thats where i met my husband. we were very close to going on a tdy trip down there to have the baby (it would have been neat) but things just didnt work out that way, too much responsibility here with 3 dogs.

dlind - Tuesday, 11 Mar
Thanks a million.

nay143 - Monday, 10 Mar
Nicole your going to be a great mom!! Your such a wonderful person! Amani is very lucky to have you as his mama!

nay143 - Monday, 10 Mar
Amani!!!!
SO cute I love it!

bvalley1982 - Friday, 7 Mar
yeah i ended up staying home. uhg, i feel like a useless bum for not going to work but one day this week. im feeling really light headed right now, but i feel like i should get up and do something. at least brush my hair :) i really really want to paint but they say this close to the baby being born the fumes will still be hanging around when we bring him home. plus i'd probably get half way into it and need to stop to take a nap. i wonder what my energy level is going to be like after the baby is born. i hope i go back to nornal :)
well at least you dont have the stress of going to class anymore. that would just suck. having to go home and study. thats the one good thing about the yard, at the end of the day your done. no homework, no having to take work home that wasnt finished, no having to go in early (and not get paid) to finish what didnt get finished the day before...

Alicia23 - Thursday, 6 Mar
Congrats on your baby boy news xx

bvalley1982 - Tuesday, 4 Mar
well i went to the dr today. and it was awfully depressing. im still 2cm. sad sad :( i saw the mid wife instead of zapata, and she thinks i will have the baby before next monday but i think she said that because she could tell how disappointed i was. sad :(
i hope your appt. goes better than mine and your baby gives you a good money shot ;)

nay143 - Tuesday, 4 Mar
Its almost the fifth!!! Call me when you know. I feel pretty bad right now so ive been laying low but I really want to know the sex! Im so exctied for you honey!

rhonnott - Monday, 3 Mar
During my pregnancy with my son (now 12), I was stressed out all the time because I was in a bad relationship. It didn't really affect the pregnacy, just make sure you eat good and try to sleep as much as possible, but my son now has a nervous stomach and every time he worries or gets upset he gets sick. I don't know if that is from me being stressed durning pregnancy or not, but my guess is yes.

panda503 - Monday, 3 Mar
hello! i use to get acupuncture once a week and it's really peacefull and calming. sometimes, i would have an appointment right before work and i noticed things that would normally stress me out didn't bother me at all. look into it. it might help you out!

fisheagle74 - Monday, 3 Mar
That cracks me up about the kittens!!! I kept having a dream last night about chasing baby chickens EVERYWHERE. Every time I turned more were loose! What is it about baby animal dreams!!!?

babybackwoods - Monday, 3 Mar
Hi Nmart,

I too have been having weird dreams since the beginning of this pregnancy. Even last night! A Spooky one. One night I woke up crying because the police were making due some un-natural things to me while I was pregnant. (That was totally crazy). I have 3 girls aleardy and I desire a boy. So maybe we both will have our little boys. I'm thinking of getting a sono done this week. Not tooo sure if I want to know the sex or not. (smile)

crystal7wilson - Tuesday, 26 Feb
Thanks for writing back! Just hearing someone else say it's 'okay' makes it so much easier! You jsut don't know how much that meant to me!
