I hate that all my stuff got deleted! So here goes...

I got really sick on a Friday night (July 20) and had to go to the hospital. I was having cramps like I was in labor (vomiting and passing out). When I got there they ran all the regular tests and came back saying I was pregnant. This was all new to me and my husband because we had not been trying. After doing an ultrasound the doctor concluded that I was having a tubal pregnancy and that they were going to go in and abort it and repair any damage. After lots of crying and praying I went into surgery. Once we were back in the recovery room there were still lots of questions. When the doctor came in to report he said that the baby could not be found in my tubes and I had a cyst to rupture my ovary. We went back for more ultrasounds then. The baby was in the uterus!!!!!! I was only 3 weeks and 3 days so we could not get a heart beat yet.

Flash forward 3 weeks and I go to my regular doctor's office after more tests and a lot of stressful moments we get a heart beat.

So everything is good now, but just having to deal with a lot of soreness still due to having a c-section type operation and a now expanding belly.

We find out November 5th if it's boy or girl!!!!!

It's a Girl!

She was so active during the U/S. When the doctor touched the monitor to my stomach you could see her little hand push back against it. It was so cute. That is the most activity I have felt so far. It made such a difference being able to watch her while she was jumping and playing. She was trying to suck her toes when we first looked, so it was easy to determine the sex. After a few minutes she rolled over and hid her face behind her arms. I am very excited. Even after hoping for a boy, I am more thrilled to be having a girl than I thought I could be.

Bailey Elizabeth, is that too much of a mouth full? My husband and I have had three boy names picked out since we got married 5 years ago. Now finding a girls name that we both really like is the hardest thing we've had to do yet. All of the boy names we picked out including my two year old son's are family names. We kind of wanted to stick with that theme, but all the women in my family are Mary, Louise or Penny. None of which I want to pass on to my baby. Bailey is my grandfather's last name and Elizabeth is my middle name. I just don't want to end up giving her a last name for a first name because it is a fad that people are doing right now. I don't know what to do at this point. I am tired of looking at baby names.

Okay, today I am as frustrated as I can be. My husband like Bailey, now he has given me about 20 other names that he likes. I am very annoyed at this point with the whole name thing. She may not have a name until after she is born. My husband really likes the name Winona because it means first born daughter. That's all good and fine, but I hate the name. (Sorry to offend anyone with that name.) I don't want Winona anywhere in my daughter's name.

I am so aggrevated with my mother!!! She is so inconsiderate when it comes to me and my baby. She wants to know why I won't take a trip for a family reunion 300 miles away the last weekend in February!!! My C-section is scheduled for some time around the middle of March. That is only two weeks difference! She said I should just get my doctor to move it back. It's like she doesn't remember that I almost died during labor with my son!! That's the whole reason that I have to have a c-section. Very annoying!

I went yesterday for another check-up and my little boy, Zach, got to go with us. He was so excited to hear "baby sister." He was just as excited as me and my husband. I can't wait till we can all meet her.

We finally came to an agreement. Our little girl will be named Bailey Elizabeth. I am so glad to have a name to go with my little girl. Still can't wait to meet her!

Merry Christmas to all! I just found out that my sister Ruby is going to have a baby in July. Yeah!!! We are very excited. This will be her third. I can't wait till we have a dual baby shower and lots of play dates during maternity leave!

Today is January 17th and we scheduled the c-section with the hospital for March 24th at 7:30. I will have to go to the hospital on March 21st to fill out paperwork and have all my lab work taken care of before we do the surgery. We will enjoy Easter weekend at home and then first thing Monday morning (6:30a.m.) we report to the hospital to be prepped and our little girl will be here by 7:30a.m. This is just so exciting to me. This is going to be worse than waiting for Christmas has ever been, especially knowing the date and time of her arrival. Time is really flying by now. I have a lot of prep work to do. My husband already wants to pack our bags for the hospital stay. He is more excited than me I think. Can't wait till my next appointment.

I'm 31 weeks and 4 days today. I feel pretty good. BEE moves all the time and it's getting a bit uncomfortable now. There isn't much room for both of us anymore.

I just talked to my sister who is 15 weeks pregnant and she told me our cousin who is 10 weeks pregnant just lost her baby. Very sad day in our family.

Monday, 25 Feb

I am in the middle of cleaning and I am sick of it. I `m tired of being this obsessive, compulsive person. I am ready to get back to normal. Zach says that old McDonald had a mommy - EIEIO - with a go, go here and a go, go there. Obviously I need to slow down a little bit.
