Hello, well here I am in my second pregnancy. I married my husband on July 14, 2007 and concieved our child soon after than. I have one 6year old boy, and Chad has one 3yrs old girl. At this point we are moving into a new house and preparing to merge the family as much as possible.

Baby Guess!!!!! Give me your best guess as to boy or girl! Heart rate has been anywhere from 104-167! This is my 16week pic. sorry its a bad pic, I'll let you know on Dec.6 who is right!

16weeks

19 weeks

24weeks

27 1/2weeks

02/04/08 32weeks 4days

04/01/08 36WEEKS

2weeks later :) 1week after baby 12/17/07 update: baby refuses to let us see just what its hiding between its legs. :( So i guess we will be surprised. I was really hoping to buy some gender specific baby excessories. Evenflo has the cutes girl and boy stroller. Oh well.

update: 12weeks left...not a whole lot going on these days. Baby has gone into the "to stuffy in here" mode. I get a hard jab every once in a while but for the most part it just moves around an wiggles every now and again. Today the baby has definetly dropped my ribs don't hurt I'm not getting poked and kicked in my ribs...don't know if this is good or bad but I'm taking it as it is "sweet relief" my joints are achy and I have a feeling that baby is closer to coming than I'm going to be ready for. Of course when I'm still preggy 14weeks from now I'll be wishing I'd never said this. :) I'm going to try begging dr to do a quick u/s on the 11th just to see if we can tell boy or girl. I really need to get some things for this little one to wear. :)

FINALLY WE KNOW!!!!!!!!

2/22/08 - I AM SOOOOOO TIRED! The whole plan is to work till labor starts...but dear lord give me strength today I wonder how I'm going to work till the end of the day. Lets hope a weekend of rest will give me the strength to make it next week.

02/26/08 - thank the lord I've gotten over last week. I think it was more mental drain than physical. We bought the baby a closet full of clothes, blankets and jammers...socks, onsies and bathroom supplies. My mommy mode has kicked into high gear and I am getting so excited to have a baby. (I'm still scared to death of dealing with no sleep, pain of delivery, working after) but all my complaining is over for the mean time, I'm just to darn happy.

03/17/08 - Everyday I look on this site, I'm ashamed of myself for not feeling the same as everyone else. Every woman on here seems to be rushing thru the last months as fast as they can. I just want time to slow down. :( I am so sad this will be the last time I ever have a baby bumping and thumping around in me. I didn't appretiate it the first time I was pregnant, so I think I've been holding on a little tighter to this one than I should. I love feeling her move and watching her bunch up...and even though there is pain and discomfort associated with having a baby I feel guilty talking or expressing it, because I know I'll never have it again. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to be having a baby and she is very much planned and wanted...I think I just wanted to be pregnant longer...if that makes any since at all. 6weeks to go, so maybe by the end I'll feel the same way they do...ANYTHING to get this baby out. :) But for now...I love this pregnancy and I love being pregnant and I'm so happy that I've had a chance to experiance such a healthy and happy pregnancy.

What are you talking about? I am a HORRIBLE decorator!! haha But thank you for the compliment! I really worked hard on her room and actually dispite my lack of skills I am still pleased! hehe Thanks!! :)

first-time-mommy-to-b - Sunday, 27 April
YAY! My contractions have finally stopped. I had them 5 minutes apart for like 30 something hours!! OMG!!! But, they have finally gone away and now they are only come every once in a while...not timable. I never thought I would be excited to say that!! I think I just really wanted my Dr. to be here! So far so good...looking at Monday. Hopefully all of this at least gave me a head start for my induction on Monday! :) Won't be long and we will both have babies! YAY!! Hope everything is going well!

mitzumama - Sunday, 27 April
Nothing happened unfortunately. I am pretty disappointed about it today. All that hard work with nothing to show for it. It feels awfully discouraging at this point.

first-time-mommy-to-b - Friday, 25 April
haha! Well, he didn't actually say he thought I was crying wolf, but he is very dissapointed. I think he thought this would be quick! haha Contractions are still 5 mins apart, I have been having contractions now for about 18 hours...and they have been 5 mins apart for about 15 - 16 hours. BUT, they really very in intensity! Sometimes they hurt and others I don't feel them...just the tightness. The nurse said it sometimes does this with first time babies but my contractions were registering every time on the monitor and she said they were intense. BUT she also said that when this happens they could actually go away for a day or two and when they come back they will be full blown and I will be in active labor. Who knows?!?! All I know is I am doing everything she said to make them go away and come back on Monday. hehe My dr. is out of town and we are supposed to be induced Monday (which we just got word of about the time I started going into labor on my own). I hope that this will just give me a head start...they will go away and when I go in monday I will already be pretty dialated. Right now, since yesterday morning I have lost my plug, had a show and gone from nothing to 75% effaced and almost a 2. Not much, but alot of someone who had nothing! :) Anyway, I will keep you posted. Keep your fingers crossed that this will go away and I can get a few last min. things done this weekend and we can just have her Monday with MY dr. :) hehe Hows Madalyn?

mitzumama - Thursday, 24 April
I am so very, very ready to have this baby. I was surprised that I didn't go into labor last night. I have some pretty significant contractions.... yet, nothing. Today I am tight and uncomfortable and feeling a lot of pressure and irregular contractions but I have so much energy I have hardly sat down all morning. My son and I are just wandering around the house in circles. If the baby comes today I will be really quite impressed, but I doubt he does. He seems like a stubborn fellow. I will go up and down the stairs as much as I can, lift things, bend over, walk, run if I have to, and though the sex last night didn't lead to labor, I will try try again!!!!! I am determined!

mitzumama - Wednesday, 23 April
I'd say an upright and unburnt house is SUCCESS! I am sorry you are tired and I am doubly sorry you have to work. I am sure you'd rather be home staring at your baby. However, there is something beautiful about missing our babies. I think it makes us better mamas when we have significant time away. We just come home so much more willing to coddle and comfort them. I have been home with Charlie for 40 weeks now and we have had enough of each other. I am running out of creative ways to keep him interested and he has been allowed too much tv as I lounge on the couch. I really don't like to be THAT KIND of mama. I am looking forward to his preschool starting and me getting back to my school work and teaching to keep us both sane. My husband is really looking forward to his paternity leave. He will be home with all of us for a week after the baby comes. Of course my mother in law will take my older children a lot of the time so I can rest and bond with Gus, but there will be days all five of us will be home. That is going to be crazy, but I'd better get used to it. hee hee. Thanks for all your water breaking wishes. I kinda like that idea. Talk to you soon.

mitzumama - Wednesday, 23 April
No labor for me yet, but soon.... I am due tomorrow and I know that my midwife has no interest in making me wait too long after that. I am feeling pretty tired and would love a good nap before going into labor. I see my midwife today and I think she will sweep the membrane and try to get things moving for us. I do not want to be induced if it isn't medically needed but this baby is going to be HUGE if I wait too long. Ahhhhh! How are you and your babies?

first-time-mommy-to-b - Wednesday, 23 April
Isn't that odd that other women are more uncomfortable with breastfeeding than men are? You would think it would be the other way around. I don't know, but I have one here at work that is the same way...just odd. I guess it comes with it. I guess the bathroom will have to work for me because I don't think I can just set up to pump in the middle of the office with people walking in! haha

I can't wait for Hunter to be here either...its funny that you feel lonley on that end and I feel lonley on this one. All the people I normally talk to have already had their babies...and just when I find someone new who I can relate to (as far as the "I am going to be pregnant forever" thing) they have their baby! AHHH They are dropping like flies around here! :) hehe Oh well, my time will come. I go to the Dr. tomorrow, hopefully he will give me some encouraging news....like we can induce if I don't have her by Sunday! :) One can only hope! Anyway...don't feel lonely! I am still here and I am loving hearing all about Madalyn and your new life with her!!

first-time-mommy-to-b - Wednesday, 23 April

OMG She is getting so much bigger already!!! She is soo beautiful!!

first-time-mommy-to-b - Wednesday, 23 April
Wow she is tiny! Thats a good idea to take some of her clothes back and get different stuff...fortunatley I live in West Texas and it is normally HOTT all the time! haha So even if Hunter is small she will be able to wear some of her summer stuff in 6-9 months. ugh!

I am sure your boss isn't very worried about it or he would have never offered for you to bring her up to the office with you. I mean he had to have known that you would be very caught up in the baby for a while, even while at work! So how does the breastfeeding at work thing go? Just curious. I am worried about pumping at work b/c I don't really have an office...I just kind of sit out in the middle of everything (I am VERY important) haha.

I am getting excited about Hunter coming...I am not really nervous about childbirth at all anymore. I mean, I have prepared myself that it is going to hurt, and maybe even become unbarable...but that is what the epidural is for if I need it. I think I am just so ready to meet her that I am not scared. I was fixing to go walk tonight, I skipped last night b/c I got caught up with cleaning and it was dark by the time I was ready. BUT I just turned and looked out the window and it is totally freaky, but a cyote was walking across my front yard. My husband has school tonight so he isn't home and we only have 1 neighbor and their little girl is in the hospital so they are not home either. Ugh, so now I am freaked out about going outside...maybe no walking tonight. I dunno, yesterday I am not sure if they were contractions or braxton hicks, they were very mild and only a little uncomfortable...really just noticable. I had them like every 30-40 minutes from lunch at 1 until I went to bed at 10. I was soo excited, but they are gone today, now I am just cramping a little off and on like I am going to start. Humm..hopefully it is at least helping me to dialate so I will get good news at my appt. on Thursday.

Anyway, glad you are doing well...sorry to talk your ear off. Let me know~

hi sarah! cuteee photos! r u getting sleep? how hv u been? i miss this site, no time though with milk monster at my breast :-/

first-time-mommy-to-b - Monday, 21 April
I know, Hunter has ALOT of clothes, the bad thing is...I ran out of hangers so I still have more to hang...AND he drawers are full! hehe I got a little carried away! I can't figure out why the pictures are blurry...they are not blurry when I open them in other programs, just when I put them on here. Humm...Anyway, how is everything going? Are you starting to adjust being back at work? How is it having Madalyn up at the office?

first-time-mommy-to-b - Monday, 21 April

She is so alert! I love it! Shes like 'Hey mom, what is that funny looking thing you keep pointing at me' hehe She is just a doll!!

mitzumama - Thursday, 17 April
Together lets pray that my labor and delivery only last about three hours tops! Let's also pray that my recovery time is easy, especially mentally and emotionally, as I worry about that more than anything. I am so tired and achy today. I am off to see my midwife now, I will turn down the offer of induction. I want to let this baby come on his own if he can. But I certainly wont fight it if labor begins tomorrow on it's own. I am so big now that I would almost bet you that Gus is already nine pounds something... I have never had tiny babies, but nine pounds freaks me out just a tad.

first-time-mommy-to-b - Thursday, 17 April
I definetley want to breastfeed...I have heard that from alot of other people too that it helps you drop the weight much quicker! But really, you look awesome!! You are seriously at that point where people probably look at you carrying Madalyn around and wonder if you are her mother b/c you honestly don't look like you just gave birth! You look FANTASTIC! Awesome job!! Anyway, hope everything is going well...you need to post some more pictures of Miss Madalyn!! :) Have a good day...I go to the Dr. this after noon, wish me luck that I have made some progress! :)

first-time-mommy-to-b - Thursday, 17 April
Oh my goodness you look WONDERFUL!! That is so great!!! I hope I am that lucky!!

girl-from-oz - Thursday, 17 April
congratulations on your little one. Im glad she arrived safe.
Its all happening now with the ladies in our week. I havent been on in 10 days and already there are new babes arriving. much future luck to you xox

makayla08 - Thursday, 17 April
congrats your children are beautiful!!

springbaby - Wednesday, 16 April
I have heard the same about the girdle/belly binding helping out a lot, so I do plan on doing that for sure! It's great to hear from other women who were/are able to lose the weight easily. Congrats to you!

branbug - Wednesday, 16 April
You look wonderful! So how'd you have the baby early! tell me your secret now or else. This is my 2nd I am 37wks +3 days

first-time-mommy-to-b - Wednesday, 16 April
Well I have been walking alot and rubbing the pressure points on my feel that they said not too..hehe Hubby is not about to give in the the love making thing...he is such a baby! haha He has been wining that he wants me to quick hogging the baby, I made some suggestions on how to get her out a little quicker and needless to say it didn't happen and he has quit complaining! haha

I am sorry you had to go back to work so soon. Are you taking Madalyn with you like you had planned? I can't imagin how exhausted you must be at this point! I wish that you would have been able to take at least another week off!

Well, get some rest!! I will be sure and let you know if labor ever decides to knock on my door! :)

first-time-mommy-to-b - Tuesday, 15 April
I am doing good...but to be honest I am starting to get frustrated! I think she is just settling in...not even knocking on the exit door!! hehe You are so lucky to have you little bundle!! I am honestly beginning to think that she is never going to come out. Everyone keeps telling me that they give you a due date for a reason and I should not complain until after that day comes and goes...but I am tired of being pregnant. How wrong does that sound? haha I feel guilty for saying that, but I honestly don't want to be pregnant anymore. All I want is to hold my little girl. I keep trying to tell myself to not rush it...that she will be here before I know it regardless and I should rest, but its soo hard! hehe I guess I'm just excited!! Sorry..I totally let that out! How are you and hubby adjusting to the new baby? I am glad breastfeeding is going well!! How is your son and daughter reacting/adjusting to Madalyn? You said you were getting ready to go back to work...did that mean this week? If yes hows it going? If no, when do you go back? Anyway, I better get back to work...its getting harder and harder to concentrate around here! hehe Hope everything is going well!!

first-time-mommy-to-b - Monday, 14 April
Well she is just beautiful. I havn't been keeping up with the week pages as much...it depresses me that everyone is having their babies! haha JK I just havn't had the time to sit and read all the messages so I am sure I just missed it! But I am soo happy for you and your family! Sorry you are going back to work so soon!!! That really does suck...you should take a little more time. But thats great that you will be able to take her with you! I am sure you are EXHAUSTED!! Well, about the furniture...Toy r us (where I got her changing table) is giving me the run around...or course they don't even have 1 changing table in the store that is Cherry wood and they can't tell me when they will get some in and wont order me one because they are an "active item". I think its crap. Not that I need it right away, but I was depending on it as a storage area! So I will have to wait and see. Glider...its going to be about 2 weeks for it to come in, but again...if I don't have it when she gets here its not the complete end of the world. I have a dresser and closet for her clothes and the crib and bassinet for her to sleep...we should be good! :) I will post pictures of her nursery so far hopefully this afternoon. Still have TONS on construction in my house! Ugh! Anyway, post more pictures!!! I just can't believe how perfect Madalyn is!!! Shes beautiful! Congratulations again and I am sorry I am just now catching up!! :)

emma1230 - Monday, 14 April
