...............

Congratulations to all the mommies who are pregnant and for all of those who are trying. My page got wiped out so I am starting fresh. I found out I was pregnant unexpectedly. I was on the pill for 7 years and took it normally. I had missed my period the month before but really figured it was due to stress! I had just bought a new house (all on my own) and When i went to the doctors for my normal pap she told me I was preggo! I couldn't believe what I had just heard. Pregnant? Oh my. At first i am not going to lie. I cried and cried trying to figure out what I was going to do. I had a long talk with my boyfriend of 12 years (yes we started dating in 8th grade) and we both decided to keep and raise this baby. Now we are both extremley excited and nervous considering this is our first time.

My Boyfriend and me

15 WEEKS

Well went in for O/B appointment today and everything seems great. All my tests came back negative....and the baby is VERY healthy. I got to hear the heart beat for the very first time, and boy was that amazing to hear!! I have been having sharp pains in my belly button and today she felt the area and concluded I do have a hernia...I don;t know what it is but when she was oushing on my belly button (which is an outtie) I felt l;ike I was going to pass out, she said it will not harm or effect the baby at all so that's great! Oh and my due date is now 4/19/08....the baby is measuring large. I am so excited I also can find out the sex of the little one in 3 weeks! I can't wait... I am so anxious :)

17 Weeks

I am so mad that I can't figure out how to upload my ultra sound picture of the baby on here. Every picture I have on my PC will upload but the one picture I would like to show off.... Oh well. I am feeling a little dizzy at times. I get out of breath easily, but other than that doing well. My heartburn has subsided some so thank god for that!! My belly has finally popped and it seems high to me. It's really hard around my belly button area. I am huge! I have gained 11 pounds and I am always hungry. Latley I have had cravings for strawberry yogurt and cheese. Not together eww.... just two things I have been craving. I try and eat a lot of fruit (which I love) and have een eating cucumbers everyday :) In two weeks I go for a Fetal Survey. a 2 hour scan and hopefully I will be able to detect the sex of this baby.....I really hope so I just am too impatient to wonder and wait :)

It's a GIRL..........


19 Weeks

11/26/07 So I went for my 19 week AFP testing and and obviously found out we are having a healthy baby girl. We are so thrilled. She was very polite and crossed her legs the whole time, untill the very end! Thank goodness she showed herself. She is just darling!

Finally I figured out how to add the picture!Yay!

21 weeks

12/12/2007 Well it's 21 weeks for me...22 on saturday. Time is a flying by!!!! I am finally starting to feel my little princess stirring. It's an odd feeling-sometimes I feel almost like I might me sick, but then it's o.k. I am just happy to know she's doing well. I have gained 17 pounds! OMG sickening. I need to start getting rid of the horrible food and replae it with veggie's fruit's and whole grains. I have been letting my cravings over take me. Craving juice-apple-orange-pinapple-grapefruit....all of it I could drink it all day! Same with sweets especially chocolate, and around the holidays it's hard to deny! Little Miss Addalynn must like it too! ;) I have been tired and emotional-but for the most part I have felt good. I am starting to get nervous about daycare-gosh it's sooooooo expensive!

So here is the bedding I have chosen, I am painting my walls a buttery yellow. I just thought this was so bright and vibrant! I love the animals too!

25 Weeks

12/5/2007- Here I am 25 weeks pregnant. I feel like it's flying by. My appetite had increased sooooo much! I am always hungry. i wake up 3 or 4 times in the middle of the night starving and with full bladder. Not good. In this stage I feel good, but I am gaining so much weight. I just bought pregnancy pilates. I am going to start it this weekend and see how that works. I still have really bad heart burn, and my brain is in lala land, but other than that I feel good. Miss Addalynn is moving around quite a bit, she is kicking me aweful low, near my cervix.... and bladder...aaaahhh the bathroom :) I am longing for the moment I can hold this little girl in my arms and see who she looks like, the person she will become, it's wayyyy too exciting. Finaces are starting to scare me. I barley get by right now, and I budget my money...I don't know how I am going to do it once she gets here. Oh well, we'll figure it out! Daycare is soooo expensive, I just can't believe it.

She's Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adalynn`s birthstory

I woke up that morning soaked and thought I had peed the bed. I changed the sheets and layed back down for about 2 hours, finally at about 6:00 a.m. I woke up wet again! I was like...oh no I think my water broke. Not sure I took a shower and called my mom, seeking her advice...she told me to go to the hospital anyway and just make sure.i didn`t think it was possible because I was 2 months early....I woke my boyfriend up again (1st time because I changed the sheets) He told me to go back to bed, not believeing this was real. On our hour drive to the hospital i started feeling cramps...sooner found out they were contractions. I had nothing ready....no bag packed... nothing. i really thought it was a false alarm. We arrived at the hospital around 8:30, I told my boyfriend to go to work, because I wasn`t sure what was ahppening. My cramps were getting more painful and closer together. I walked into the main enterence alone asking where labor and delivery was. I got there and there was no room for me so they placed me in the admission room. After like an hour finally someone came and checked me out. I was 6cm dialted and contractions were 2min apart. They told me I was having this baby today! 3/3/08...Oh my I wasn`t even due until 4/19/08, I just prayed she would be o.k, she was only 33 weeks. Well shortly after I was checked the labor pains were getting worse, I called my boyfriend and told him to come to the hospital. i think he was in a state of shock. nothing ever works how you plan it. I decidfed I wanted an epidural, after that I couldn`t even feel my contractions. I would descrivbe contractions as really bad menstral cramps, but all over. Finally around 2:45 I was fully dialated. I felt a lot of pressure and told them I fell her down there low, can I push...can I push???? Waiting for the doctor I started pushing, It was amazing! 14 minutes later beautiful Adalynn arrived in this world really early and was 5 pounds... bigger than expected! But she still had some lung issues. After 2 weeks of being in the NICU I finally go to take my beautiful girl home. She is perfect. I was told preemies develop slower and her developmental age doesn`t start unitll her due date. I love her more than life itself!

thanks for the comment.ya lexi weighed 7 lb 7 oz..i done know mayb she will b a ittle 1.my for year old almost weighed 14 lbs @ 4 months


kbpc3949 - 14.7 hours ago
God, she sounds awesome! Makes me jealous! My sitter is pretty good but I feel like there is pretty many small kids there. The ratio is still much smaller than a traditional daycare but she has a son who is 1 and it seems like she is always holding him. I just wonder how much attention Cole gets. Nerve racking!


twinsmom - 15.4 hours ago
 She is too cute! My little girl is a big eater and I think that she will be very happy when I start her on solids! Just waiting until she is four months!!


leahsmom - 15.5 hours ago
Yep, I had a blankie too. It is just a little purple rag now. My mom still has it. I think it is nice for them to have a lovey, especially when they go through the seperation anxiety stage. Unless, like my oldest, it is a silky nightgown. Ha, ha, kind of embarrassing to have them carrying that thing around.


twinsmom - 15.6 hours ago
Thanks! They do keep me pretty busy! They are faternal. They do look a little alike but have TOTALLY different personalities! They are fun to watch together, they are starting to interact with each other. But mostly they just lay next to each other and kick each other.

everyone says she is a spitting image of my husband.. your daughter is so beautiful


leahsmom - 28.9 hours ago
Awww, what a cutie. Leah's getting attached to her blankie now too.


Baby-Beiler - 31.4 hours ago
lol Bekah absolutely loves to swim! she cries when i take her out of the pool but it is usually so relaxing to her that she falls asleep LOL, but then she sleeps so good and so restful that night that it makes it all worth it! not that she keeps me up alot at night anyways because she is just such a good baby!
She is starting to roll a little bit but only when she wants to... and not when i want her to. She finally reached double digits and is up to ten pounds! the doctors think that she might have a bit of acid reflux because she would scream like crazy after she would eat and her belly would feel as hard as a rock and she would scream until she burped. they put her on this formula for babies with gas which didnt really change anything and now we are putting rice cereal in her bottle. it seems to be working well and she doesnt scream nearly as much, but she spits up alot now. Hmm im not sure what they will do next for her. i hope they do something becuase i am afraid that she isnt growing like she should, but my mom said i didnt even gain four pounds in four months so maybe she is just a teeny tiny baby and is going to stay that way?!? well anyways you have a great weekend okay? Enjoy it! God BLess!

lol, unfortunatly i haven't lost anymore weight yet, but she still breastfeeds early morning like 5am, so maybe that's why...lol, yea right. I have heard that once you stop bfeeding you start to lose the rest of the preg. weight, so maybe it'll take a week or 2 for my body to adjust to that. I'm trying to make a concious effort to walk more and i've been teaching swim lessons so i try to tread water while doing that too to burn some extra calories...but i've also heard people say it took well over a year to get rid of preggo weight. Thankfully i only gained 28 pounds, haha...but that isn't taking into account my new hip circumfrance after squeezing the babe out! ugh! i wish there were other new moms nearby to start a daily workout routine with, even just for walking and talking about the babies and husbands and stufff you know. oh well! As for the docs, we were just saying you can ask every doc you meet the same question and get that many different answers, you would think they should all agree, it can be frustrating. I have been using them for guidlines and seeing what works for us. Reese loves eating the baby food (1/2 a container a day once a day) and it hasn't bothered her belly, so we're keeping up with that, but if it bothered her we probably would have held off another month. She just had peas today, but i don't think she liked them as much as the all the orange veggies she's had so far.


bellybumbles - 37.6 hours ago
hey thanks your little girl is adorable too :) my ped. said that based on the way she took the oral medicine/vacine that she was ready for solids and to start with one veg. a week to make sure there was no reaction...she had been getting a little cereal in her bottle for a while bc of her reflux so she said to start w/ veggies. They are fine, her poops are more solid but she fusses less actually, and my milk started drying up once i got my period aboiut a month ago so i'm happy she's getting some veggies with the formula.


kbpc3949 - 40.3 hours ago
Appt is this Sat. Can't wait to hear what he weighs and such this weekend! I saw the chubbiest baby on Monday. Made Cole look underfed!


kbpc3949 - 42 hours ago
I am waiting to see what the ped says at his 4 month appt. He has been on cereal for a month now. My neice has some pretty heavy duty food allergies so I don't know if they will tell us to wait. I am sure he is fine, it's just me wanting to jump the gun! Have you noticed a decrease in the formula she takes? I know that formula should be the main stay of their diet at this point and he is taking only like 24 ounces a day.


kbpc3949 - 42.3 hours ago
What do you think is the deal with the hands while feeding? Cole does that and it drives me to distraction! Are you feeding cereal only or have you tried other foods yet?


kbpc3949 - 42.3 hours ago
The sad thing is that most of Cole's traits are mine or come from my family but put together with his eyes, all people see is his Dad. :( We do all the work and get none of the credit, lol!

 It looks like Cole's first attempt photo!


kbpc3949 - 42.4 hours ago
Thanks! They are all his Daddy's! I got to add the good eyelashes though!


twinsmom - Thursday, 24 July
Thanks! I will tell you, it is not easy to get 2 two month olds to be happy for pictures!! Hopefully it will get easier when they are older!

Oh, and my baby is losing her hair also...but she's allowed.


Boopy - Wednesday, 23 July
Glad I made you laugh! Hey...my hubby is bald...and i love him and all...but I don't want to match him. He shaves his head everyday...don't think I want to add shaving my head to the list of things to keep up with. Hehehe. Did you see the new pics I posted on page 9 and 10? There is one of him and you can check out his bald head.


Boopy - Wednesday, 23 July
Well.....look at it this way. It takes a very long time for one hair to make it to shoulder length...so if a few hundred hairs that are shoulder length are all falling out at the same time....what does that lead you with???? A lot of hairs that have to grow out...and that can take a very long time. They may replace...but it takes those replacements a long time to get where the others were. See my fear???


H34v3nLeigh - Wednesday, 23 July
I think u should call back and tell her u dont want to wait that long, plus people cancel appointments all the time... so maybe call in every other day or so to see if there has been any cancellations. Personally i would go to another doc just for her to get the shots on time, then again im not sure if it makes a huge difference if u waited. hmm. well good luck! :)
