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 - Monday, 30 June
yeah youll think about ripping but then youll worry about pooping on the table...or not. i did. i kept telling the nurse "i think im shitting!?" you know cus pushing out a baby feels like taking the biggest most painfull shit in your entire life!

This should bring a smile to your face!!!
Dommy loves you and Amani!!!




bvalley1982 - Friday, 20 June
i'd say it took at least 6 weeks to heal physically but it took a lot longer to feel like me again the prepregnancy me youll see what i mean after he's born, like your different but your emotions arnt soo crazy. yeah the ripping, haha i dont even want to tell you how bad it looks down there now. my boobs are huge i went from a b (prepreggo) then a c (during preggo) and am now a d so i imagine when im done breastfeeding im going to have some flabby saggy boobies. i plan to get a boob job if that happens after im done having babies. oh and my headlights are always on. when your milk comes in your boobs are gonna be HUGE!!! so aidan started to hold his bottle all by himself today (said my sil). she took some pics of it and its sooo cute! so have you got everything set for baby?


tschmitz - Thursday, 19 June
i know!i just hope this feeling goes away when the baby actually comes lol..that would be bad


stlmom - Tuesday, 17 June
i'm 8 weeks postpartum and sex feels fine, a little different but everything goes back to normal, especially by the time youre ready to do it again!


boady - Tuesday, 17 June
After a vaginal delivery, the opening of your vagina will be bigger and not as neat. But as long as everything is functioning normally and you are not getting lasting pain, there is nothing to worry about. For me sex gets better with age and I've had 3 kids and sex hasn't been better. So you really don't need to worry things will be fine.


Grace33 - Tuesday, 17 June
No, you will not be loose, your body goes right back like it was. They stich you up afterwards and sometimes u may even be tighter. Everything to me gets better w/ age & none of my friends have complained & we are all open about everything good and bad.


Mommad - Tuesday, 17 June
I just told someone at work today that I wish I had an icepack to put on my feet! Will be taking one tomorrow!


bvalley1982 - Monday, 16 June
i did start eating differently. i cut out alot of crap and ate grages all day drank tons of water and had a boneless skinless chicken breast with a heaping pile of fresh cooked vegis for dinner. i also tried to walk as much as possible. i only have stretch marks on my boobies, still, and i still have that dark line that goes up the belly. as for down there yeah i ripped pretty good and it looks all fucked up down there. as for that everything else pretty much is normal now except at first i had to learn to pee again...you'll see what i mean after baby is born. but at least you wont have to pee all the time!


bvalley1982 - Sunday, 15 June
i actually dont have any limitations. isnt that funny. when i got back to work my stupid shop just wanted to put me back on the waterfront without going back to sick bay. anyways when the doc didnt ask and neither did my shop so when i got to my supv i let him know. so i just wear two pairs of gloves, head sock, tyves, coveralls, pretty much by the time i suit up i got an hour on the boat then i have to get cleaned up and go pump. makes for a quick day tho. you look great, by the way. when i was that far along i wore the same baggy pants and sweatshirts, i didnt even look in the mirror, i was just sooo miserable i didnt care. but now that i look back im glad my husband took pictures of my belly cus now it really doesnt seem that bad.

hanmac - Wednesday, 11 June
Hi,
Thanks for your message.
I did put on another 3kg this fortnight too, just saw my OB today (oh well).
I think a lot of it is fluid as I drink so much i'm thirst all the time.
Next to my bed on a night I have a 1.25l bottle of water as I keep waking up thirsty (means many more trips to the loo) lol
I found out today that he is not as big as we though, more like an 8-9lb instead of a 10lb er... Yeah less stitches...
Take care and good luck x


bvalley1982 - Tuesday, 10 June
yeah i went back to work today and it wasnt tooo bad, but pumping in a bathroom stall ...very ackward, but its better i figure than having my boobs hanging out sitting on the couch in 431 when a skookum cleaner comes barging in. toughing up the nips huh? idk if that works i do know that my "headlights" are ALWAYS on now. so hows moving around is it getting worse. does it take forever to get were your going? i never realized just how hard things were untill today when i was scooting around no problem. anywhooo maybe i'll see ya around in the yard sometime, i hope things are going good.


MooMommy - Monday, 9 June
Ditto on everything you said!! I am just a completely grumpy person!! Thank god i'm done work this Friday!!


nimzm2b - Saturday, 7 June
I feel the same, mine come out really slowly and I can only do little ones!! Then as soon as I've finished I feel like I need to go again, I think the baby is laying on my bladder.


nay143 - Friday, 6 June

i went in for my bikini wax and i would totally recommend it. i hurt but not as bad as i thought it would. Again GO FOR ITTTTTTTTTT........


suzanne7210 - Thursday, 5 June
It's okay to get highlights but nothing that touches the scalp. I have done it for the last two pregnancy and my ob nurse told me it was ok.


babylove723 - Wednesday, 4 June
So glad to know that I am not alone on the movement thing! I have been having the strangest dreams lately too! The most recent one, I am shopping at Target with my mom, my husband and our little boy and I keep sitting him down places and leaving him there. Then I don't realize if for a long time and I go frantically searching the store for him. I always find him, but it is that horrible feeling in your stomach that feels so real! I feel like I am ready for all of this craziness that is coming in just a few weeks, but maybe all of these dreams are my deep down fears that I am going to mess something up showing through??


bvalley1982 - Sunday, 1 June
im going to try to continue breastfeeding. i bought a medela that does both breast. we are having my sil move in for the summer to watch aidan so he doesnt have to go to daycare. and if im lucky she'll do night college in the fall and still watch aidan during the day! knowing that i dont have to wake up and disturb him and get him ready to go out into the cold world and drop him off at a strange place to him makes me feeellll toooooons! better about going back to work. im lucky to have a sil whose just graduating high school. im glad that your going to try breastfeeding its a wonderful experience, and it will be hard and frustrating but once you get past the first couple weeks things get a whole lot easier. when i started my nipples hurt so bad i wanted to cry.
