Hello All,

I am currently a senior in college, graduating this May. I found out I was preggers at 5 weeks in September...I was very nervous at first but now I am excited. My partner (Mike) and I both have very loving and supportive families. So anyways...this pregnancy has pretty muched sucked since the beginning but thank God its getting better! LOL I was very sick in the beginning and fatigued but now things are better. I had strong cravings too in the beginning but as I progress im not really hungry anymore...and I have only gained 1 pound since my first Drs. appt at 5 weeks (Im now 18 weeks)...I guess its OK, my Dr. said not to worry...I will gain all the weight def by the 3rd trimester....

I love this site and being able to get advice from other women and mommys-to-be... I feel so much more comfortable knowing there are so many other ppl going through the same things as me :)

So I am finally going to start writing on here...I have been so lazy lately. So I fell down the stairs today (thankfully I feel on my rear instead of my belly)...everyone freaked out but Im OK! LOL it was kinda funny actually cause its happened before (not when I was pg though)... Ive been having a few cramps lately but the Dr. said its ok...I cannot wait for the 14th when we get to find out the sex! We are hoping for a boy :)

Well I went on Monday (two days ago) all excited to find out the sex. It was supposed to snow the night before so I was praying it wouldnt so my appt would not get cancelled. To my suprise it did not snow and we were able to get to the u/s place and 10 min after we got there the whole building lost power! Just my luck....thankfully, about 25 min later it was restored and we went right in....Baby was perfectly healthy, all 10 fingers and toes lol but would not open "it's" legs...So I was totally bummed for the whole day! But the good news is that we found a private 3d u/s place and it only costs like 99$ (plus 25% off our next visit) to do a 25 min 3D scan, gender determination, and we get a bunch of color pictures! So needless to say I am excited to go back and try again this coming Monday. Plus, the good thing is that if they cannot see the gender (again) I will be able to reschedule and come back for free to try again. So its like a win-win situation. Cant wait til Monday!

So I havent written anything in a while, last weekend (apr 6th) was my family baby shower. It was lovely, everything was pink, and we got everything we needed. This Thursday (17th) is my second shower thrown by my friends from school. Im starting to get tired again like in the first trimester. I have also started getting BHs bad. Last time I went to the Dr. babys hr was 135 and she is head down and very active. I have been nesting too a lot lately. The nursery is finished (see pictures), and I have washed all of her things, and packed her bag for the hospital. Now I guess I just have to wait around. My graduation is the 12th of May so hopefully baby wont come any earlier than that date (I will be 36wks).

I will write more later, bye ladies

30 May 2008- 38w6d

Well...since I last wrote on here I have graduated college (may 12) and have been impatiently waiting for this girl to come out. haha Um...my original due date according to my last period was June 1st which is in two days but the Dr. pushed me back a week because my cycles were 31 days instead of 28...Im hoping that she messed everything up and the baby will come around the 1st or so. I am so sick of being pregnant, my back is killing me and it hurts so much to walk. Ive tried castor oil twice and it didnt work either time. I also have been drinking red raspberry leaf tea and taking evening primrose pills..nothing works my girl is stubborn. Hopefully the next time I write on here it will be my birthstory....
