It's feels like i'm back a square one cuz im living with my sister and her three kids..and i never get any privacy..and i've had my own place since i was 17(when i left for college) so it's been hard sharing a small townhouse with 5 of us all together im just used to me and my roomate....so that mean i have to find a place of my own b4 i have my lil one cuz there is barely room for me let alone a crib a swing a high chair and everything else he or she needs...thats y i wanna move back wit my ex BADLY!!!!! while he is excited it seems he's like he's not ready for the whole family thing!!which hurts soo bad....we argue then we fall right back 4 each other..and one time during our agruement he said 'it's times like this that I wish i never even got u pregnant'...and that SHIT HURT....i just hung up the phone....i mean we all say things we dont mean when we r mad but DANG!!! it that how u feel..but i dont know we just have so much history and we were sooo good for each other and we BOTH were head over heals for one another and no that i have his child it's soo hard to let go..i just HOpe everything get right..well lol. thats all thats going on with me..i feel the baby move ALOT..they have gotten a little stronger since the first time i felt it..if i lie on my back at night and relaxed my lil one moves ALOT....

OCT 19th......................well im wrting in PINK!!! IT'S A GIRL!!!!!YAY..im soo happy I thought i wanted a boy but im truly overjoyed wit my lil princess...JADA NAOMI-LYNN TOWNS....my app. was at 2:15 so i got off of work at 2:00 rushing to get there..then they have me wait for a hour!!i figure if the wanted me when they called me then they shoulda just scheduled my app. for 3:15...but i was just anxious i think thats what it was...but i called DALE(ma ex) and he told me to call him as soon as i found out..and i did and he was like WHAT!!! NOO WAY..r u serious..OMG!!! he was laughing sooo hard he was like man imma bout to have a daughter it was bitter sweet i guess...but i cried when they told me what it was..and they sold the dvd of the sonogram for only 5 dollars( the money goes to some great charity) but im trying to save it to my computer so i can send it to ppl through email..but im having a tough time..i have a meaning ful name so i want my child to have one was well mine is Jana(God is Gracious) Lynette(pretty-one)...and Jada(wise) Naomi(beauty above all) -Lynn(beautiful)...but everything is good i got that some joy back in my life now i can start shopping and things..YAY

OCT 20th...............it still hasnt hit me that i have a lil GIRL on the way...i watch the DVD of the sonogram so much(still having trouble sending it though)...she was being a lil lady at first and had her legs crossed then the lady that did the sonogram kind of jiggled my tummy a lil which made her move alot then she flashed us!!!LOL..she had her fist to her mouth..but im praying she is not suckin on those fingers..my best friend did that and let me tell u it's a bad habit she is still tryin to break...i want to have a baby shower in feb.... and my teamates from college are planning it to im lookin forward to that as well(even though it so far away)...and i hope she looks like me.... :)...........AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i lost my usb cord and i cant put sonogram pics up.....imma buy one soon and put them up

Nov. 2..................WOW..i'll be 21 weeks 2morrow..time still isnt goin by fast enough for me..lol..i thought i would love being pregnant but is just OK and im ready for my lil girl to be here already! yesterday was a horrible day for me..so bad i called off of work today....i cried all day it seemed and i saw a couple a work and they were buying all their baby stuff at once i guess..and i fought back tears..b/c i'll probably have to go shopping w/ my sister or mom..which just isnt the same..but i haven't bought anything yet..but back to yesterday..i got into a HUGE arguement w/ my child's father and it ruined my WHOLE entire DAY..right now i cant STAND him..ugh!!..i think that was the straw that broke the camels back(lol)..serious talk..but on a MUCH BRIGHTER note..my baby is great whenever she kicks or more she brings a smile to my face..she already knows how 2 make mommy happy again..but i gotta admit at night time i dont smile when she moves..it's more like WHY r u up moving aroung when mommy is clearly tryin to sleep..i want a HELLO KITTY theme...if it was a boy it was gonna be mickey mouse..(cuz im from florida and lived there for 18 years and thats where my family is and we love disney stuff)..i didnt want pooh (although i love him) but everyone has that theme already..and i've been seeing hello kitty stuff at work that is just sooooo cute...my next app. is on the 16th im not that excited about this one as i was wit the one when i found out i was having a girl..but i have no idea what this app. will be about i just hope i get to see her again and get some more pics...lol...my friends at work tell me i cant reach my hands above my head which i think is hilairious..but they were serious..i dont do any hard work anyway at work i'm a cashier at sears..so i dont really anyway..but i figure that just one of the down south alabama wives tales..i love them..well i guess thats been all thats been goin on..

Nov...5th...so i signed up for my prenatal class on friday!!! im so excited about it last all day though...from 8:30 to 4:30 and we have an hour and 15 mins of prenatal yoga..so i have to go buy a mat..im thinkin y cant i just bring some covers or something..lol..j/k but lunch is provided and u get to bring a guest..(i'm going alone) but the lady i spoke to said alot of mothers come alone and they get a chance to meet other expecting moms..we get to tour the materinty ward..and alot of other neat stuff she was telling me about so im excited..yesterday was a better day for me!!! im about to go to work in a couple hours so im not looking forward to that...for some reason i got really excited about being pregnant yesterday..well not really pregnant i just cant wait to meet my JADA..my ex called yesterday and we had an alright converstaion..i guess..im still confused on him..ugh!last night my diaphram(sp?) hurt sooo bad i dont know if she is even up that far to be able to kick me there(or if shes strong enough to make it hurt that bad) i couldnt sleep at all..i've gained 4 lbs so far(well that was on oct 19th on my last doctor visit) and i really DONT wanna hop on the scale again...but we will see on the 16th....

Jada is very active it feels so weird..it makes me smile everytime..lol...well i did my baby registry at TARGET and let everyone know..I told dale too..so He better have my stuff for ma baby..lol..it was alot i didnt realize i needed THAT MUCH...lol..but hopefully when i have my baby shower i can get even more..i still have my beely button ring in..my doc said it's fine until it gets uncomfortable..my teamate kept hers in until she delivered..lol..and she still has it..believe if there was any reason for me to take it out(scientifcally proving) that it brings harm to my baby i would take it out...well im still in my regular jeans i just wear an expander and maternit tops..im using cocca butter like its no tommorrow..lol..NO stretch marks yet!!(fingers crossed)..well me and my ex is supposed to have this heart to heart conv tonight(we will see if it actually happens)..about how he is gonna work out taking care out his daughter and so on and so on..he says eerything will work out..i dont wanna get my hopes up into thinking he has changed...i just dont know..ahhhh he gets to me...but im doing good for myself and handling business..

Nov.16th......so that talk me and my ex was supposed to have happened!!and boy was i unprepared..i tell u this guy can talk a NUN out of her panties!!!lol...he's that good w/ words..so he wants me to move back to kentucky and if i dont like it he would help me move back in august...he says that i need to be established somewhere b4 the baby is born..which is right..he wants me to b closer to him so we can TRY and work things out!!and he can b close to his child..i mean i do want to move back..but thats alot i would have to do..i would have to find a place to stay, apply for state insurance, tranfer my job..i mean but it would be best for JADA to be around the both of us..i really am now re-thinking my descion to move back to florida..cuz no one will care for my child like me and her father..Yeah i know i dog him out all the time..but he's a good person..it's just when i broke up wit him he started dating other ppl and he stopped talkin to me so i felt hurt and betrayed..he has a cousin and bestfriend who also has a baby on the way and he dont call his baby momma, he still denies it, and he dont want nothing to do with her, but i give it to dale he calls and we talk for a long time..(he even sent me a pizza yesterday) he orederd it off online and had it sent to me..awww..sweet i guess..lol.and he talks about me to others at school(in a good way)...i mean his is right b/c im living wit my sister and i dont even have a place to sleep i sleep in one of the living rooms(the one w/ no t'v and one pull out couch)..lol..we made the agreement we werent gonna move back in together though not right away anyway...so thats what i've been pondering since yesterday...wish me luck on my decision..cuz im gonna need it!!!lol..i dont know im just a little confused..i just hope if i do decide to move i wont regret it later..but my lil MINI ME is doing great..she moves soooo much and u can see it from the outside of my belly..its crazy..i cant believe imma bout to b a mommy..it still hasnt hit me yet..and i dont think it will until she's here probably...lol..my ex was on the phone and he told me to put the phone to my stomach and put it on speaker and he was talking to her..and she didnt move or anything..i started laughing..cuz she moves of mommy all day!!i love my ex i really do but he put me through alot and i just hope that he dont disappoint me again..he calls me his fat gurl..ummmmm i dont think i like that name too much..lol..well thats all thats been going on..im counting down the days until thanksgiiving i just hope my mom remember that pumkin pie!!yummm..

Nov 25th...................wow alot has happend so okay where do i start..well i drove to see my ex on friday and im JUST gettin back (only b/c i have to work tommorrow otherwise i would stayed longer :)) i just woke up in the morning and i called him and asked him if he was busy he said no and he was like come visit me so i hopped on the road....i got there at like 6pm and we got something to eat then layed down and watched t.v.and he kept on callin me his fat gurl and speaking to my belly...aww i would love to stay right there FOREVER!! then we woke up and he wanted to SEE everything that was on HIS LIST to get(yeah i sent him a list of what he needed to buy...lol)so we woke up ate..the went to target..he was so excited i had pacifiers on the list and he was like NO we aint using those so we can just take them off..i was like whoa wait a min...lol..but i let him 'PRETEND ' like he was callin the shots..and he said i didnt need a changing station just to lay down a blanket somewhere and change her..all i could do was laugh..and his roomate was like damn jana u r fat yo belly big like mine...im thinkin NO it's not u look about 14 months preggo!!but we had fun enoying each other company we really missed each other..then we went to the mall and looked at baby clothes and stuff and he couldnt keep his hands off of my belly but i didnt mind not alot ppl touch my belly anyway so it felt great for her dad to touch it..we arent back together we just missed each other tooo much and when we both had spare time we thought hey y not....we love each other, and we care sooo much about one another..it's just so hard to make things better and we r soo far...and of course i cried when i left and i didnt want him to see me so i burried my face in his shirt..and we talked for a min then i left..that was my thankgiving weeked in a nutshell i guess..next app. on thursday keep u guys updated!!!

Jan 2...so well this is the story i really didnt feel like writing last night..So i called dale just to confirm everything like the time i was leavin what time i would arrive and so on and so on.. somehow the conversation turned from good to bad and he said 'it would be a good idea for me to stay where i am' (i think he was looking to start an arguement with me so he could say that)..so i was like fine whatever.. i never let him see me sweat..but i want and need him more than anything..so i cried my eyes out after i got off the phone and texted him and told him i didnt wanna talk to him n e more b/c he stresses me out..he lies about what he plans to do and get my hopes up and then they dont happen so that puts me in sad mood..anyway after i texted him that he said 'OK'..it's such a coinsidence that my mom called the next morning(which is today) and asked me how i was doing and i told her i wasnt going back and how upset that made me so she decided to call dale..well they talked or whatever and my mom has her way with words so i know she held her own with him cuz he is just as good with words as well..but bascially my mom made me feel better and ressured me that everything will be fine and she will be there for me 100%..when my mom got married to my dad she already had a child (my sister) so she let me know that just b/c u ran into one bad one doesnt mean u wont ever find no one else that will LOVE u and ur baby..so today i was on an 'EMPOWERMENT HIGH' if thats a saying..lol..new year new me..thanks for all the encouragement from everyone..
