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?

When we went to D's 4 month checkup, his pedi asked if he was reaching for and grasping objects and the answer was no. She said that since he was doing other things (rolling belly to back, rolling back to side, standing with support), there was nothing to worry about. Literally, within the next WEEK after his checkup, he had a breakthrough and was grabbing things no problem. Be patient, he'll get there!

Parkersmommy1 - Thursday, 30 October
thanks. im going to call the dr in the morning. hes an evening pooper, so maybe he'll go tonight. he has wicked smelly gas tho. hes cuddling with me and i have to plug my nose

Parkersmommy1 - Thursday, 30 October
thanks, been there and tried it, but with a baby qtip with vaseline, tried sugar water like the dr said. last time, i could tell it started to bother him cuz he was eating every hour. this time, hes on day 6 and is just starting to get uncomforatble he started farting after the sugar water and his belly was gurgling like he was going to, but still no

:) Always trust a mothers instinct. So long as he doesnt go hungry you have nothing to worry about. his stomach lining will be just fine and before you know it he will be polishing off the food on your plate as well as his :)

sugarcubesandcottoncandy - Monday, 27 October
Nmart : He will sleep through the night when he is ready to sleep through the night. if he cries for a feed in between, he needs food. Children this age are too young to be disciplined. they will fall into a routine when their tiny bodies are ready for it. till then, you need to give them the nutrition they need, when they need it. in putting away feeding him for 8 hours you are letting his stomach acids eat up into the tiny stomach and its lining. you are setting him up for severe stomach issues later in life. dont let him cry for want of food or a binkie. please. not now.

Nay143 - Thursday, 23 October
OH I posted news pics.....I hope you like em!

Nay143 - Thursday, 23 October
OMG Nicole I love the pics of Amani!!! Hes a lil' sutd!

I am also a stay at home mom, so I have her on a schedule. She sleeps through the night (bed at 12-12:30 and wakes 7:30-8:00) then she falls alseep after feeding. I put her back to bed and she sleeps for about 3 - 3.5 hours then wakes and eats again. then off and on all day with BF, play time and naps. At night I feed her (partial BF) then give her a bath, play a while, and finish the BF. Then hopefully she is quick to go to bed. If you can get him in a routine it will be easier for the both of you.

karrieanne - Thursday, 16 October
my girl is sleeping through the night and has been since 2 months, but I put her on her belly because she freaks out on her back when she startles (which she does alot still) She can turn her head just fine so belly sleeping is ok. If she sleeps really good on your chest then that is probably the way she likes to sleep and might sleep through the night that way, like mine did. She does not grab for toys either. She doesnt roll over either or even seem interested in rolling over. She lives her life with her hands at fists by the side of her head. But she sucks her fingers and fists also like yours. I would give it some time and if by 4 months she is not doing anything else, then I am going to ask her doc. You are not alone :)

if you have to work, you have to work. so if you can't pump--just pump your heart out now & stock that freezer!!! i wish you the best of luck, i know i would be feeling like you...i'm breastfeeding & broke too. ; )

soon2be3 - Tuesday, 14 October
You have to do what's in your heart, but financial strain can really hurt too. Which is worse...formula or not paying the bills? Many moms couldn't even bf'd and you have done really well up until this point and will still be able to offer breast milk until he is four months old. I honestly think going from breast milk to formula is very freeing...anyone will be able to feed him, you can be away for longer periods of time, you don't have to pump anymore...yep, I could go on and on...

ggfirsttime - Tuesday, 14 October
I'm sorry to hear that. Dont' beat yourself up over it. It is wonderful if you can continue to breastfeed, but if not, he'll be okay too. You first need to think of your and your baby's wellbeing and that includes you being able to pay your bills...I'll be thinking of you. Hope things work out. Keep us posted.

HillaryB - Tuesday, 7 October
Thank-you.It's good to know that I'm not the only one.it's really horrible!!!!!!Sometimes she acts down right crazy! lol smile,cry,smile,cry
