Where to start....I am 35 and have two teenagers. My daughter turned 16 in November and my son will be 15 in April. I am literally starting completely over. My pregnancy has come as a complete shock. Yes, I know how I got pregnant, but we were using protection. I guess my princess is suppose to be here. I use the term princess because Sarah means princess. I have had a difficult pregnancy. Here are just a few things: high blood pressure, gestational diabetises, behind in growth, two vessel umbilical cord instead of three, bed rest since week 20, 2-3 protein drinks a day, lost 15 pounds so far, and swelling. I go for weekly doctor's visits and every other week ultrasounds due to the problems that occur with a two vessel cord. There are many prayers that are being said until she is due. My first child was delivered via c section after 44 hours of labor. My son was a vbac. Sarah will be born via c section. At first they were going to deliver her 1-2 weeks early, but now due to the cord issue she is going to born 2-3 weeks early. I will find out next week the exact date.

I am trying to decide when to start packing and getting things ready for the hospital. I mean, when is too early??? I don't want to jump the gun, but I want to be prepared. Knowing me, I will just repack what I have already packed. I hate being anal.
The bh come every night like clockwork. They are just annoying enough to wake and keep me up. Victor is great and I love him, but the men have it easy sometimes. I wish we could trade places just for one day.

I had my shower over the weekend. It was nice. I had a great time. I received a lot of pink items. I can't believe it is actually getting close to her being here. Tomorrow I receive another ultrasound. Based on it, Tuesday my doctor and I will schedule a date and time. The countdown will be begin. It will be weird knowing exactly when she is going to make her debut. Both of my other children were ten days late. I remember the phone ringing everyday asking, have you had her/him yet. I was like, did I answer the phone, did I answer it yesterday, then no I haven't had the baby yet. I know they were just curious, but geez, I thought they would never get here. I know I probably won't be able to sleep the night prior to her birth. I will be so anxious, nervous, excited, scared... all the above.

I have been reminded by a friend that it has been awhile since I have updated my information. The doctor has set a date for my c section. I will be having her February 28 at 1:30 pm. At first the hospital said they were booked and they would have to do it February 29. My doctor said that she (me) would not go for that. I seriously do not want to have my baby on Leap Day. So after some shuffling around, I was able to get that day booked.
Went in for an ultrasound on Wednesday. It was't any news that I wanted to hear. The baby has been behind in growth. However, I have managed for a few months to keep her at 4-5 days behind. I was told that now she is over two weeks behind. So I have been hard on myself thinking that I have been to active and not doing what I should be doing for her. I have been on a big guilt trip. So now I absolutely am doing nothing. I am staying off of my feet and conserving all of my energy for Sarah.
I go in for weekly NSTs. Sarah doesn't really like them. She runs from the monitors. The nurse has to stay with me for the whole 30 minute testing chasing her around. It is quite comical.
Her rooms are ready. I say rooms because her father and I do not live together. We are together every night. We just play musical houses. I hope this doesn't confuse her later on. Heck, I am confused. Not sure which address to put on her birth certificate. We have been discussing marriage, I just want it for the right reasons and not just because of Sarah. I know he loves me. It is me who is undecided on what to do. I know if I called him now and said lets get married, he will say what took you so long. Call it hormones.
Well I have 20 days left to get myself prepared. I haven't packed yet. I know me, I will pack and then repack. I have made a list, does that count?

The Dr. called today and she is going to send Macey to see the pediatriac cardiologist to make sure all is well since shes not gaining as well as her brother is and she does have the heart murmur. You need to rest lady!! Dont over do it. job is going well -- Its super flexible so I can work at home, and come and go as I please -- with the weather getting nice though I just want to stay home and go for walks etc lol. I tried to put up an update yesterday but somehow it got deleted!

Hey we went for our 2 month appt yesterday as well but they aren't getting shots till Friday. i'm having the public health nurse come on a home visit so I can nurse them while they get shots and hopefully it wont be so traumatic. he weighs 10 pounds 10oz, and she is 8#4oz. hes gaining alot faster then she is. She also has a heart murmer which we thought was nothing (and still may be) but since shes not growing as well as her brother and the pediatrician still hears it, she decided to send her report to a pediatriac cardiologist. we havent heard back yet. The babies are both sleeping well at night usually a 5-6 hour stretch followed by a 3-4 hour stretch...hows Sara sleeping?? How are you??

I'm doing great, thanks. I have an ultrasound Thursday to check growth, due to the 2-vessel cord. And then start weekly NST's at 34-weeks. How much did your daughter weigh? Is she doing okay growth-wise? Sounds like she's eating well. lol You must be exhausted. :)
Nan639 - Monday, 17 Mar

I know I think its because everything is soooooooo cute now!!! I chose the dark color because our bedding is that teal/blue, brown, and tan color. It tooks really good w/ it. The bedding that we got was on display in a crib that was the dark cherry color so that's how we decided. I'm so excited to start setting stuff up..but of course my fiance is dragging along. I just want everything to be done!!! lol

Hi. Well I'm actually feeling better today than what I have felt in weeks. Did alot of resting this weekend and I think my body really needed it. I'm so glad for you - everybody deserves a loving partner. I'm seeing the dr again on Thursday and hopefully he'll give me a date on when he's doing the c-section. I think it would be the last week in Feb. I dreamt about my boy on Saturday. He was the most beautiful little thing! With spiky pitc black hair. Any way - enjoy your day!

Hi! I know it must be crazy to have a teen and be expecting a newborn but wha an adventure...and you are an old pro! I am getting anxious being a first time mom. We had our shower today and it was so amazing I can't believe all of the stuff we got! So overwhelming. How are you feeling?
sirat - Sunday, 20 Jan
OMG they are soooo expensive...do you have Costco there? They are cheap at Costco and at Zellers... you could try Sam's Club....
sirat - Saturday, 19 Jan
that sounds sooo sweet. I am just scared...the baby cant move enough..sometimes i feel like prodding him with my finger to make sure he's ok...wish we had a little removable lid on our tummies that we could lift and peep under, check if alls ok, and place the lid back..Thanks for the tip..Hope all is going well with you.All the Best
jbo - Saturday, 19 Jan
Hi, Staci. how is it going?
Rezetta - Friday, 18 Jan
Hi Staci. In a case like yours you definitely know that it was meant to be! I was just wondering, are you and Victor still together and happy? Does he have other children?
