I am a first time mommy, and am married to the most wonderful person I've ever met. I am terrified because i am leaving my home to move with my husband who is in the Air Force. We are moving all the way to Alaska from California. I have to leave my family but him and i are making our family so its the right thing to do..

Dec. 18th
My pregnancy so far has had its ups and downs.. In the beginning i had the implantation bleeding, we went straight to the E.R. and couldn't see a heartbeat.. the doctors figured the baby was just still so small..and the doctors had to take blood from me about every other day to check my HCG's..Finally afrter 2 weeks of anxiety we saw the heartbeat! It was so relieving and the happiest day of my life up till that point..

March 25th
At about 19.5 weeks pregnant we had our mid-pregnancy ultrasound.. he was being stubbourn and we couldnt really see the parts of the head that we needed t oo. But my wishes came true it was a little boy! My husband was soo excited!
Then the phonecall came. The technician said we needed to go to a specialist because my son's ventricles looked like they were enlarged a few millimeters over normal range. Which could mean a number of things. Then another doctor called me and said there was cysts! This was especially hard on my husband since he had recently lost his mother to cancer. But the good news, the AFP tests all came back to 1 in 10,000 so the numbers for any chromosonal disorders were so minimal that they said an amnio was definetely not recommended. So another few stressful days went by and we had to drive an hour to a specialist to find out what was going on with our little boy.. I think the hardest part of this all right now is my husband isnt with me he is already in Alaska so its been pretty lonely..

April 1st
The ultrasound showed the previous findings were not even there! They said the technician definetely measured wrong and in the cysts matter, they had read the wrong report! Go figure! The ventricles in his brain were WELL WITHIN normal limits.. But my son did have a slight difference, he had a dangling choroid. The doctor and 2 specialists said that its definetely not something to worry about because a dangling choroid with normal sized ventricles means that its just a normal variant and I will be fine. They recommended I come back in 2 weeks just to make sure that the ventricles have stayed within normal range.

April 3rd
I was hit by a car! I was walking my dog and some lady backed into me! It was horrible.. my back and hips hurt because the fall i took to the ground. She didnt even give me the right information and she just left me! So i went to the E.R. and the heartbeat was fine, and an ultrasound showed my lil guy was holding on just fine there was no problems or abnormal leakage but they did hook me up to a machine to make sure i was not having any contractions..

April 11th
On the way to the ultrasound i was so nervous! I had stopped worrying about it so much and just trying to realize everything was happening for a reason. I came to the conclusion that I was keeping my son regardless of the findings. At first i pleaded and prayed to God telling him if my son was ok I would have a natural childbirth (lol, i said this because both my husband, his brothers, and my father was over 13lbs) but then finally I just surrended and said its not in my hands anymore. The 2 hours spent there and then the doctor came in smiling and said although his choroid is still dangling, its just a little difference with my lil man. And that his ventricles are still the same size.. I have never had a moment where I have felt joy and love like this before.

Now i am just mad that i dont feel him moving as much as i usually do. I felt him so good for a few days and then barely nothing.. But I need to stop stressing! My lil one is just stubborn..

In 6 and a half days I will be leaving my family to go be with my husband. I have grown so much since he's seen me last and I am so excited to be around him!

So on saturday night I had to go to labor and delivery. My son still hadn't moved as much as he was before. So wen talking to the advice nurse i drank ice cold water and i didnt really feel him in an hour time period. So i went in. They hooked me up to a monitor to hear his heartbeat which sounded good and normal! That was awesome. Then they did a quick ultrasoun and right before they start i felt him move quite a bit. STUBBORN LITTLE THING! just like his daddy! Then when they started the ultrasound he was moving alot! but i didnt feel him. He was stretching his legs and bending them.. and moving his hands all around. I guess its true, even after you start feeling your kid but your not TOO far along yet there are just time your not going to feel your baby because of the position he or she may be in..
Well only 5 more days to go until im with my husband in our new house!! And we bought a little chocolate labrador puppy=] my husband had one as a kid and he swears by them as being great family dogs.. The breeder has a baby and all the dogs are wonderful and very protective over their child.. So thats good news!

April 15th
