Let's hope so!!!
Let's hope so!!!
October 4,2007 (9wk3d)
I figured I should start a journal on here. Keep track of what has happened so far in these past 9 weeks! Maybe it will help some people.. or maybe it will make me feel better. HAHA SO...
The first symptom I noticed, my boobs hurt SO BAD. Before I even knew I was pregnant I was complaining about my boobs feeling like bowling balls. It was pretty normal for me to get soreness and tenderness as PMS so I didn't think about it too much. Yadda yadda.. I tested and it was positive (5 times positive Thank you Clear Blue Easy!) WOW!!! We tried to get pregnant for almost 8 months! Fast forward... over the past 8 weeks I have had to pee like a racehorse as soon as I wake up! I have grown a cup size already! Unforntunately, I graduated to maternity clothes already.. the bloating was too much for me to squeeeeeeeeze into my fat jeans. HAHA, I haven't really craved anything.. but beef makes me feel like crap. And no puking (YAY) but I am pretty much nauseous about 80% of the day. Now, surprisingly since I hit 9 weeks, its like a lightswitch. My boobs don't hurt, I am not really peeing all the time.. just in the mornings! I am not getting nauseous that much anymore Maybe at night, but that's it. But beef is still making me feel bad. The only new thing that sprung up.. I have acne.. UGH. BEAUTIFUL. And, I keep having dreams that are REALLY vivd. From sexual and non sexual dreams.. they are SO real.. its kinda weird. HAHA more to come!!!

October 19,2007 (11wk4d)
I had my doctor appt. yesterday. Got to hear baby's heartbeat for the first time! I cried.. of course. I am so emotional lately. Poor hubby! Nurse said everything sounded great though. Baby was up at my hip when she found the heartbeat, and she went to turn up the volume for me to hear and ZOOM baby took off! haha Had to find all over again. It was great to hear though. My nausea is getting better, thankfully. Seems now I have about 1-2 bad days out of the week instead of everyday. And I am SO glad just to have that. Apparently even though I feel like I am getting fatter by the day, I have lost a pound and a half. Good I suppose! I am really wanting mac n cheese, bagels with cream cheese, apparently foods loaded with carbs. I am giving in now, just because if I dont eat those foods, then I don't want to eat anything. Pregnancy is so weird! But I love it :)
*****************************************************************
November 4, 2007 (14wk)
OUT of the first trimester, thankfully!! I am feeling SO much better than I was just 7 weeks ago! Nausea is almost completely gone (although I am wincing as I type.. I don't want to curse myself!) I still get little waves of it everyonce in a while. I have eaten red meat!! YAY!! But I can't do anything hamburger. No caseroles, hamburgers nothing with ground beef. So strange! The biggest thing.. about 2 days ago I GOT MY FIRST MOVEMENT!!! Little flutters in my belly as I was bending over. So I sat up waited a bit and then I bent over again and got it. HAHA I guess baby didn't like me mashing its home. HAHA felt like popcorn in belly! I love it!!
******************************************************************
November 27, 2007 (17 wk)
I am feeling so much better now. My belly is pooching out. Although to me, I feel like I look like I have a beer belly!! HAHA I have a sinus infection I am getting over right now.. which has kept me in bed for the past 3 days miserable. But I am on antibiotics which are helping greatly and I think I will be 100% soon. No real updates.. my BIG ultrasound is scheduled for the 18th of December.. but we are going to put it in a envelope and open it on Christmas morning.. we are cheesy like that!! haha
******************************************************************
December 19, 2007 (20wk 2d)
We had our 20wk ultrasound yesterday. It was amazing! The last time I had seen the baby was at 7 weeks and it was a little bean! Baby was sitting facing out, breech, and hyper as hell!! I guess the chocolate milk I drank before hand made baby spaz out. HAHA. Everything looked wonderful. They didn't get a good picture of the heart because baby was moving too much. But they did get a picture of the sex, and of course hubby and I were too excited to wait a week to open it...
ITS A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Madeline Elizabeth... we will call her Maddie for short! I am so in love!!! James is going to be wrapped around her finger in no time...
******************************************************************
January 15th 24wks1d
I just got back from the doctor. We had to get another ultrasound since she was moving too much the first time to get pictures of her heart. She is looking GREAT! She is 1lb and 9oz now! She has long legs, and looks like she is getting chubby cheeks! Her heart rate was 158bpm! I am so in loooooove! She hasn't made me feel sick in a while. So far, I have gained 8lbs. I think thats ok... I never put on any weight until I was about 20 weeks.. now it seems I am gaining a pound a week! I dont like that.. but I guess its good since she is getting bigger faster now! I am getting a belly. You can def. tell I am pregnant now. I have lovely stretchmarks... its hot. HA, but its a small price to pay for my baby girl!
*******************************************************************
February 8th 27wks5d
I thought I would do a bit of updating. So Madeline is a kicking machine!! I can tell she is getting bigger. I can feel movement low and up higher, like she is kicking and punching at the same time. She is funny though, any time James puts his hands on my belly to feel her, she stops. Like she knows its her daddy. She is a daddy's girl already!! I love laying in bed watching my tummy move. I think its funny when I can see it moving in little ways that I can't even feel. Its like an alien! I have my GD test next week. Oh joy!! I hope that all goes ok. I have been having some Braxton Hicks contractions more lately. Very low pressure when I stand and walk around. I am REALLY hormonal too. Sometimes I feel like I can't keep them undercontrol, but I try! I think I am ballooning up in weight. I don't have a scale.. but I will have to add that when I get back from the doc's office next week!
*******************************************************************
March 9,2008 32 Weeks
I haven't updated in a while! So the GD test went fine. Doc did see that I was a bit anemic, so he prescriped some Iron pills.. oh those are WONDERFUL.. (blech) Hmm.. not much is going on as of late really.. my ankles have started swelling pretty bad if I don't sit with my feet up. So far total weight gain as of last Monday was (eek) 22lbs!!! It just packed on fast!! I was told I have a bladder infection last week so I am on antibiotics for that. Other than that.. not much. James really hasn't felt her move that much. She has kicked at his hand only about 2 times. My mom hasnt felt her at all!! My shower is on the 30th of this month. I can't wait!! I am excited and trying NOT to peek at the registry and see what I am getting. HAHA Other than the usual things.. things are going pretty well. I have wicked heartburn, and getting up in the middle of the night to pee is getting really old. But I suppose I will be getting up in the middle of the night to tend to Madeline when she is here, so not much different. We are painting her room this month.. so I will def I have to put up pics from that when I get it done!!
********************************************************************
March 24, 2008 34 weeks
Nothing really has changed.. but this morning.. lost a big chunk of mucus plug (ohh.. it was hott haha) We are 90% done with the nursery. Got the paint on the walls.. and the doors. Still want to stencil in some things on the walls. And my shower is in a week!! YAY!!!
********************************************************************
April 4th, 2008 35w5d
So I woke up this morning with BAAAAD pains. In the front where my normal period cramps are. I got up to take a shower, maybe that would make me feel better.. but then I was dizzy and nauseous. Fun times.. My blood pressure was up a little bit. I called the doc and went and got checked. Madeline has dropped down (THANK GOD) and my cervix is thinning. He didn't move my due date.. or say anything about me going into labor early. He did say I need to watch my contractions because she is getting ready to come. So now.. we are on our toes.. just waiting.. I am so done...
********************************************************************
April 20,2008 38w
I was having contractions this morning. Back pain since Friday and I was worried about it. I decided to make a trip to L&D since contractions were coming 7 minutes apart, and my BP was rising. They monitored me for high blood pressure and stuff for 3 hours. Nothing.. Not even dialated to ONE. :( So that was kinda disappointing. Back to where I was 3 weeks ago. I am miserable and ready to meet her. Everyone else is being induced or having their babies that are due around me.. and I am just depressed.. but Madeline is healthy.. good HR and stuff. So I guess I will just wait.. story of my life..
********************************************************************
April 26 39w
Nothing new really this week. Doc said I was dialated 1.5CM at my 38w appt. Contractions come on.. and then just stop. Enough to frustrate me.. I am miserable. Completely. I think worse of all.. is when all people are having their babies.. and here I sit. As selfish as that sounds.. I just get more upset. I am totally happy for them.. most are due before me.. lol But.. when I have been having contractions, and started to dialate and all this.. and I get NOTHING.. I just pout.. it doesn't seem fair. haha
Sorry to whine.. nothing else I have to do lately.. cept wait. And I am not the patient one.. obviously.

They probably won't let me labor, they'll stop it. How many weeks were you when you went into labor? Were you a week early? My due date is the 17th, do you think the 7th would be too soon to have her??
Notesfam - Friday, 30 May
Wow, your good!! My hubby always makes dinner! But he likes to cook. I had a dr. appt today. She said, "It looks like you have a big baby!" She guessed it already being 8lbs!!!! So she'll probably around 9lbs when she's born!! I am still scheduled for June 11th. I tried talking her into earlier and she said she would think about it. My next and last appointment is June 5th, so I'll find out for sure then if she'll take her out earlier!! I hope so!! I dread going to bed at night, knowing I'll have to get up to go to the bathroom. Because the pelvic pain is sooo.... much worse than its been!!
Notesfam - Thursday, 29 May
Haven't heard from you all day? How are you two doing with your colds?? Hopefully getting better!!
krisaustin2 - Thursday, 29 May
What a cutie! She is absolutely adorable!!! She has some hair, not as much as Sofia but she does have some :)
Sofia had her one month well check today. She weighed 13 lbs 3.5 oz and was 23 1/2 inches long. She is off the charts! She got one shot, the second dose of the Hepatitis B. I never heard her scream and cry so loud, it just broke my heart :( I really dread the 2 month check up, they said she will get 4 shots, ugh! I better bring Kleenex, I will probably cry too! How did Maddie's visit go? Write back soon! Kristin
Notesfam - Wednesday, 28 May
How was your weekend? I know what you mean about getting scared at home ecspecially at night with your husband gone!! I am the same way!!! Isn't that funny? You kinda feel like a young kid being home alone!! LOL Our weekend was just OK. It rained all day saturday and sunday night. Sunday was the only good day we had. We got home Monday night and Mike noticed that our basement was flooded! Someone left the sliding glass door in the basement open!!! (Probably our oldest!!) What a mess! ALL OF MY PICTURES were wet.
We saved them all though. We laid all them out that night to dry! Luckily only have of the basement got wet, the half that is tiled! The carpeted part didnt get wet! So it could have been worse than it was!! Also we could have been roobed too! No contractions! Only braxton hicks every now and then. The pelvic pain is even worse than its been! We have exactly 2 weeks now! I still have to get my house in order! I want a clean house when I come home from the hospital. I may have to hire my sister to come over here and help me! Hows your Maddie doing? Talk to you soon!
Trinabear18 - Saturday, 24 May
Hey my son did the same thing for the first two weeks with sleeping in a boppy. But now he likes either or. start swaddling your baby after they fall asleep and then lay the baby on the backside. But start taking away the boppy every so often, but not completely. some babues like to be propped up.
Notesfam - Friday, 23 May
LMAO!! I want 'it' so much more now that I'm pregnant than ever before!! LOL Its so weird!! I wonder why that is? Hubby isn't complaining though!
Is Madeline still in newborn diapers? I still need to go and buy some!!
I have a feeling Madalynn is going to be huge!!! I don't think my stomach can stretch anymore!!! I really don't think it could possibly get any bigger!! My first was 5lbs 13 oz and my second was 9lbs 8oz, so they is no telling how big this one will be???
Notesfam - Friday, 23 May
I thought $8 a can sounded really cheap!!! Thats good you found an offbrand of the same formula!! I wonder is Sams diapers are cheap as well??
Is your scar from surgery healed now? Can you do pretty much anything now?
Notesfam - Thursday, 22 May
Someone on craigs list is selling enfamil Gentlease formula for $8 a can, she has 5 cans!!!!!!
http://stlouiscraigslist.org/bab/691153529.html
Isn't that the formula your using??? Sounds like a good deal!! Maybe she'll make a deal if you buy all 5!!!
Notesfam - Thursday, 22 May
Wow! I think Haley and I took at least a 3 hour nap!!! You deserve a get-a-way too!! I hope the medicine works soon! How terrible, she must be in pain! Poor girl. Yeah, sat and sun is supposed to be in the 80's! Yeah!!
LilMaMa5 - Thursday, 22 May
U sound like my sis...lol
LilMaMa5 - Thursday, 22 May
Love your baby's EYES.....
hiya - Thursday, 22 May
hi your baby is beautiful
yes i had my baby boy on May 5th. He arrived a week earlier than expected. My water broke and I didnt even know it. Was so happy to have him - the csection was easy. I have been driving already and got up the same day. Third section was so easy. Baby is beautiful... he was 6 pounds 11 oz and 19inch long. I have pics up and the other two are thrilled that he is here.
Notesfam - Thursday, 22 May
I finally just finished washing all of Madalynn's clothes!! I need to buy some more baby hangers!! I have so much laundry to do today so I can pack for tomarrow. We're leaving tomarrow! Woo hoo! I can't wait to get out! My last outing before Madalynn is here. Less than 3 weeks now!
Notesfam - Wednesday, 21 May
I couldn't even imagine twins or triplets!? Have you ever watched Jon and Kate plus 8? Now thats crazy!!
I need to go to best buy and see if they have any digital cameras on sale. I'd hate to have the baby and still no camera!!
My house is soooo out of control!!! I wish I could hire a maid for just once!! I have no motivation right now to do anything. I feel like I'm being a bad wife. I feel like I'm getting nothing done during the day!!
Notesfam - Wednesday, 21 May
One thing I haven't been getting in the mail are diaper coupons!!??! Yeah, I'll definitely have to get some newborn diapers!! I am getting anxious for her to be here! And nervous, can I really take care of 3 girls???
Notesfam - Wednesday, 21 May
Well, hubby ended up buying it! I feel addicted to craigs list!!! LOL I am always on there trying to find something else to buy that we probablly don't need!! Its awful!
Thanks, I'll look on diapers.com. We just bought a big box of 192 count of Huggies size 1-2 from babies r us over the weekend. Do you think those will fit a newborn or should I buy a pack of newborn diapers and just a size one too??
Best buy?? We have to buy a new digital camera there soon!!! Before Madalynn gets here!! Does he get a discount?? LOL Haha. I'm sure my husband has worked there on electrical stuff before.
Notesfam - Tuesday, 20 May
Oh well!! I tried!! But I will keep my eye out for coupons for you! I'll also sign up online for enfamil. I hope I don't have to buy formula. I hope breastfeeding will work for me! I know its sooo... expensive!!
That lady that I was going to buy the bumbo from told me $15 now she just called and said $20! I don't know if I want to buy from her anymore. Keep your eye out for a pink bumbo!!
What does your hubby do for a living?
Notesfam - Tuesday, 20 May

My hubby got on the computer last night. I had this website up so he was reading all my messages. He's like, "Hey, doesn't poprocksncoke live here is St. Louis?? And she's got a house on the lake of the ozarks????" Let me tell you, he got really excited!!! LOL :) What a cute new picture of Madeline!!! She is precious!!!
Are you guys leaving on Friday for the lake? We are, we have to wait till my oldest is home from school. I am soo ready for this weekend just to get out of the house!!! A couple of our friends are going down there with us. They are staying in our travel trailer too (we'll be a little cramped!). Apparantly over the weekend she called and they were going to get a divorce!? Now they are going to try to work things out! So, they will both be with us this weekend. I'll bet it will be an interesting weekend!!?? I'll let you know how it goes!! LOL
Alivia's last dance class was last night! She got a medal to go around her neck and two awards (one for the center splits and one for the right splits). She was so excited!!! She was the only one to get two awards for splits!! Shes so cute! I signed her up again for dance in sept. along with Haley her little sister. Haley will be 3 in July and loves to dance with sissy!! She is so excited for dance and I'm sure will love it!! See what you get to look forward to?? LOL Its fun!!! Talk to you later!!
