2/12/08

I have not had any morning sickness. I feel so lucky! I think that I have felt the baby move though. I get these little flutters in my lower left side. I know that it is not gas, so it must be my little bundle of joy. I am 9 weeks this week, so it is a little early to feel the baby, but I remember feeling it with my first child and it was such an eye opener because you think, wow I really am pregnant! My daughter is now 22 months old, it is hard to believe she is going to be 2 in just 2 months. I am a little nervous on how she will react when the baby gets here, but I still have time! We are going to start to potty train Abby in a couple of weeks. She tells me when she has to go, so I am assuming she is ready!

2/19/08

Well I am 10 weeks now! And I have not had any m/s at ALL!?!?!?! I am very excited about that. But I am SOOO TIRED! I feel like I could sleep all day... but I can't because I have to take care of my little girl. (and I think that also makes me sooo tired) I go to the doctor today... I hope I get to see the heartbeat! I am very excited about this pregnancy. At first I was a little scared because we didn't plan this one... but I guess God has a plan for everyone. I am also stressing out because I only have a 2 bedroom house... so we have to cut our living room in half and build another room there for the baby... and hopefully when it gets big enough we can move into a bigger house! I find it hard to keep my house clean with 1 child and now I am scared of what the house will look like with 2 YIKES! I guess I am going to have to cut down on all of the TOYS!!! It seems like toys are everywhere. I went to the doctor today and I got to hear the heatbeat! It was a lot slower than my daughter's was so maybe this one is a boy!?!? :c) I am very excited.

3/3/08
Well today is 12 weeks! I look like I am about 7 months pregnant though! My hubby tells me that I am having twins! LOL Although the doctor doesn't seem to think so. I feel like I am almost trying to pick a fight with him. I yell at him over every little thing, and then I cry and I just feel so emotional! I was never this emotional when I was preggo with my daughter! I guess when they say every pregnancy is different, they are right! I can't wait until I get to find out what I am having! I still don't have any names picked out! With my daughter I had her name picked out the day I found out I was preggo! This one I can't find that *special name* that you just know is right! I guess I still have a while to think about it though! I haven't had any m/s still.... but I am SOOOOOO TIRED!!!!!!!!!! I feel like I could just stay in bed ALL DAY EVERY DAY! But I can't!

3/11/08

Well I am 13 weeks! Yippy!!! I go to the doctor next Monday... I hope that my next appointment is to going to be the BIG one so that I can find out what I am having! I am getting soooo excited. Abby is going to be 2 April 2... time has just flown. She is also going to be in her first wedding March 28th... it is coming up quick! We couldn't find any flower dresses to fit her size, so my mom made one, and it is soooooo cute! She did a wonderful job on it. This is my last week in my first trimester! I am so excited to be starting a new chapter in my pregnancy. I feel as if I could really enjoy this pregnancy. When I was pregnant with Abby, I rushed it... I wanted a baby and I wanted her NOW!!! Well now that I have a baby, I am enjoying being pregnant. I also am not nervous. Every little pain I had with Abby I would call the doctor. Now I know what to expect and I can distinguish the no problem pains to the ones that I know may be a problem. Well I will keep everyone updated!

3/17/2008

Well I go to the doctor today. I had a bad fall Thursday night... and I messed my ankle up pretty bad. I even had to get Xrays which makes me really nervous. I get the Xray results back today and get to check on the baby today so hopefully everything is all going to be well! I am at work now and my ankle hurts really bad. Mostly because I can't put it up. Well I can't wait until I find out what I am having! Hopefully I will get to make that appointment today!

3/21/08

Well I went to the doctor the other day and I broke my weight bearing bone in my ankle! I have to be in a cast and I can't walk on it for 3 WEEKS!!! I get the cast off on April 8th. The good news is that the baby is ok and I get to find out what I am having on April 14th! YAH!!!! I am soooo excited! I think that I will be so preoccupied with not being able to walk that time will fly and before you know it... I will know what I am having!

4/8/08

Well I went to the Doctor last week for my ankle and I am able to walk again! Finally! I get to find out what I am having on April 14th! YAY!!!! I am soooo excited. I really want a boy, but my daughter wants a little sister, so I will be happy either way! I tried to potty train Abby over the weekend and she did really well until she had an accident, then she didn't want to have anything to do with her big girl undies! I am going to try it again next week and see how she does.

4/15/08

Well I went to the doctor yesterday to get my ultrasound and I am having another GIRL!!!!!!!!! I am pretty happy about it.... and Abby is really excited. I am thinking of naming her Allison Jo or Kaylie Jo.

4/25/08

Well I went to the doctor the other day and my daughter went with me. She got to hear the heart beat! She was soooo excited. She said "I hear her my baby sister, I hear her, shhhh listen." It was soooo cute! Now when you ask her how her baby sister goes, she tries to immitate the sound of the heartbeat. She is really getting excited about her baby.

5/7/08

Today is 22 weeks! I am getting soooo excited! I feel the baby moving all the time, and when I am somewhere I really enjoy, I guess she enjoys it too because she starts kicking like crazy. She also starts to kick a lot when she hears her papa laugh, which is funny because when I was preggo with my daughter she did the same thing when her papa laughed! I think it is funny! I have to build a room in my living room for Kaylee. That is the name we have decided on! But my living room is really long so we are going to put up a wall in half of it and turn it into a nursery. AND WE HAVENT STARTED YET!!!!!!!!!!! I am getting all this stuff for the baby... like clothes and stuff and I have NOWHERE TO PUT IT!!! I am going crazy! Abby is getting excited about the baby... she calls her JoJo like JoJo's Circus. She will try and share her juice with her baby sister JoJo and she gets really close to my belly and lifts my shirt up and tries to look through my bellybutton to see her baby sister! It is sooo cute. Anytime anyone knocks on the door she will say baby sister is here!

5/22/08

Well I 24 weeks now. I had another ultrasound done 2 days ago and the baby looks good! She is 1lb 6oz. Abby got to go to the doctor with me to get the ultrasound. She was so excited to see her baby sister. The ultrasound tech got a kick out of her and even printed Abby her very own picture of the baby. We also finally got Kaylee's room built. It is small, but it will work! I can't wait until my hubby paints the room so that I can start decorating! I got the bedding already, I just need to get Abby a new bed so that I can change her toddler bed back into the crib for the baby. Once the room is painted then I can go through all of Abby's clothes and see what I want to reuse and then see what else I need to buy. I am getting very excited! Time is just flying by, I can't believe that I am 6 months already! Next time I go to the Doctor I have to do the Glucose (sp?) test. I am not looking foward to that one. :c( Anywho, Come on September!!!!!

6/11/08

Well 3rd trimester here I am! Time is still flying, but I know as the days get longer and hotter the time will stand still! September seems so far away, but then it seems so close! I think in Aug. I will really be stressing. My daughter is getting excited about her baby sister. She told me the other day that she wanted her baby sister to sleep with her! It was sooo cute! She always hugs my leg and says hi mommy then hugs my belly and says hi Kaylee Jo! I am starting to be really tired all the time again! And this heat is killing me! My hubby is going to buy me a pool this weekend which will be nice, then I can relax in the water!

6/19/08

Well yesterday I went for my gluclose testing... I hope all turns out ok with that one... I don't want to go for the three hour testing! I have been feeling pretty good, it is getting harder to move. I find myself cleaning and then stopping to breath, and I take very heavy breaths because when I bend over, I feel like I can't breath! I also am having a hard time moving in chairs and in bed. It feels like it takes everything I have to move just a little bit! Oye the Joys of Pregnancy! I can't wait until my second princess is here. My daughter is also getting excited, she told me the other day, I love you Abby and baby sister's mommy. It is soooo cute!

6/25/08

Well I am finally in week 29! Smooth sailing here on out (I hope)! I failed my one hour glucose testing and I had to go for the three hour one... it wasn't that bad, and I passed! I was so releived! Abby is pretty funny, she insists on going and checking out the baby's room. She says "I need to check out baby JoJo's room." She is sooo smart! I know she is going to be the best big sister she can be! The baby has been moving like crazy and she doesn't stop! She also enjoys kicking me in the bladder!

7/9/08

31 weeks! YIPPY!!!! I am getting sooooo excited! I can't wait to get my little girl. Abby has been rubbing my belly a lot! She felt the baby kick the other day and now she is crazy over feeling the baby. She also has to kiss my belly goodnight every night before she goes to bed. She is soo cute! I don't think that she realizes that there is going to be a baby at our house soon... one that doesn't go away, but i am hoping she will get adjusted fairly quickly! I lost 3 pounds when I went to the doctor yesterday. I also am suppose to start seeing the doctor every 2 weeks now.... that is hard to believe. COME ON WEEK 40!!!!!!!!!!!!

8/5/08

35 weeks tomorrow! I am so ready to have this baby. I am sooooooo tired, I have been having period like cramps, and I keep getting sick. I just want to have my baby here with me so that I can introduce her to her big sister and get started adjusting to our family of 4 instead of 3. I can hardly keep my eyes open at work... I feel like I am just a body here and I can't get any work done because I am soo tired. When is this "burst" of energy going to come?? Oh I am sooo uncomfortable!

8/21/08

Well here I am 37 weeks. I had an amnio done yesterday to make sure that the baby's lung are developed and then I get those results Monday, and the doctor I think wants to induce Tuesday if everything is ok. I am getting very excited! I have been having a lot of back pain and stomach cramping. I am hoping that I go into labor this weekend on my own and I don't have to be induced. We will see...

8/26/08

Baby is here! Kaylee Jo was 6lbs 3oz and 19 inches long! She is perfect!

Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Hi there,

I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.

We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.

If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.

You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Sx

Congrats Samanthajo!! Enjoy this special time :)


mamaross - Tuesday, 5 August
those symptoms to me sound like signs of labor. I would assume.


mommyrock - Tuesday, 5 August
Hi I read your post. Have you called your doctor/midwife? That does not sound normal at all. Especially with the vision. Try to be seen soon because the vision issue could be preclampsyia. I know 2 women who ended up with HELLP and it is very dangerous.


hopeful2008 - Tuesday, 5 August
cheers mate,
guess i know what i gotta do then - despite knowing its gonna be painful LOL.
The things us gals have to do hay!
Thanks for the post
hope all is well with you xxxxx


aejh143 - Friday, 1 August
my doc is the same way!! he prob meant for the 36 week visit, which at my office they do a pelvic exam to see if you are dilating or effacing. They also do the Strep B test. (I had to pry that info out of them). Also, I do have that pressure. Of course my docs say everything is fine, yada yada, so I don't know, but I read in a book you might feel that pressure because at this point the baby is no longer floating, but actually resting on your uterus because their weight. So instead of just the pressure of the uterus on your pelvls, now its the baby and the uterus! fun stuff


julluv-08 - Friday, 1 August
I wish I could do that! Mine thinks if i look at her the wrong way I'm being a B*tch! The thing is I have known her for 10 yrs and when I was younger she loved me now that I own my own home and she has no control over us she feels threatened or left out! But she has 3 other children living at home its not like my husband is an only child! He is just the oldest! She is just insane! And she expects us to b close! Hello? Treat me like shit then try to b close ?!!? Shes too much! as pregnant as I am I really dont want to deal w this sh*t! Thanks for listening again !!


jenniferbrown - Thursday, 31 July
I have the same pressure. I had it with my last pregnancy as well. I just assume its b.c the baby is so low.


jenniferbrown - Thursday, 17 July
When I was in labor with my son in 05 I had a bad cough and i dont really know why b.c i wasnt sick at all. Everytime i would cough it hurt SO bad (b.c i was dilated) it felt like something or i should say someone was gonna fall out! LOL when i got my epidural i couldnt cough anymore though.

Hang in there, I'm also a member of the "when it rains it pours" club so I can relate. You'll pull through, just try and focus on the good. (haha sorry thats what ppl always say to me even though nothing makes ya feel better until the shower is over!) WE're almost done!!!


erikavb - Friday, 11 July

mandyeb0101 - Monday, 7 July
Thanks for your message. I am glad I have the ultrasound today just to put me at ease, but I know that everyone is ok. Abby is beautiful and congrats on your baby girl!


kristam - Thursday, 3 July
I have never had problems with leaking this early before with my oither pregnancies... Well I am glad I am not alone! It made me feel weird because I had a spell of contractions the other night and woke up and the baby had dropped and then I started leaking so I freaked a little...lol. Plus I have had some hard contractions but not seven in one hour after drinking water and laying down... Hope things are going well for you!


CallMeMommy - Wednesday, 2 July
Yeah I'm sure it being my first and not knowing exactly what to expect does make me a little more stressed. Thats nice about the free haircuts... with gas prices you gotta cut back somewhere!!! Well keep in touch, its neat to find someone from around here, especially in the same week as me!


CallMeMommy - Sunday, 29 June
Everything has been going pretty good...... I was in the hospital last week with kidney stones! ouch! We all thought I was in labor, so it was pretty scary, but Kalebs doing fine now. Everyone seems like they have at least one bad story about their pregnancy, so theres mine! (and now I can have a perfect pregnancy from here on out, thats what I'm hoping anyway!) Thats neat that your from st. louis too.......... I work in Eureka at a hair salon, are you familiar with that town???


leeleesmom - Sunday, 25 May

leeleesmom - Friday, 23 May
