More.... Hello everyone! My name is Summer and my husbands name is Charlie. I have polycystic ovarian disease and was having a hard time getting pregnant. We had been seeing a fertility specialist for about a year, when I finally got pregnant. I had a miscarriage in June at 9 weeks. It was heartbreaking. When they gave us the ok to try again, I got pregnant right away. Now I am 15 weeks with this little one. I have been very nervous this time around, keeping my fingers crossed & lots of prayers! We will have our next ultrasound on Dec 26 to find out if this is a boy or a girl! I am so excited. I had been feeling the baby last week, for the first time..but not this week. We have a girls name picked out but cannot come up with a boys name at all. We are very happy about this baby and it is loved very much!

12-26-07: I had my anatomy ultrasound this morning and it was amazing!! She took lots of measurements of the little baby... Measuring the head, the leg bones, arm bones, and looking at the hands and feet. The little one weighs 7oz! They said my due date is May 26, which will put me one week ahead of where we originally thought. But looks like its a little chubby one :) The baby was moving all around and the lady had to chase her around to get the measurements she needed! The ultrasound tech said the baby had its feet tight together and she tried and tried but could not get a view, to see if it was a boy or a girl. She let me go pee and she tried one more time............... ITS A GIRL!!

We had the second part of our anatomy u/s on Friday Feb 1, 2008. As soon as she got a look at the baby, the lady asked "what did they say you were having??" I said A GIRL!! ...she said "NOPE , these are definite boy parts!" I think my hubby and I both had to lift our jaws off of the ground. total shock! During the last u/s the baby had its feet together and would not move for her to get a clear view..but this time, the baby had its legs open and it was clear. When the Dr came in to review the u/s with us, he was laughing and said "something grew!" HA! We have NO idea on boy names. We are just so happy its a healthy baby.

ITS A BOY!!

2-21-08 I signed up for my child birth classes & I am so excited! It was so funny after I called and got all registered, I talked to my mom and told her. She asked when they started and I said March 3. She said oh wow thats next week! And all of the sudden it hit me that this baby is coming SOON! I kinda knew that but I guess it just hit me like a ton of bricks at that moment! HA. As far as the baby, he is kicking and wiggling all around. I tell my hubby that I think he is doing some kind of martial arts in there! I feel most of the kicks down very low in my pelvis, so I think he is breech (at least for now) Im sure he will turn at some point. I can lay on my back and see my belly move when he kicks me. IT IS SO NEAT! I am getting more and more excited every day. We still have NO names for this little boy. Girl names were easy, but boy names have us drawing a blank! Im sure we will come up with something. I hope anyway!!

04-18-08 Today I had another ultrasound to see how much this little baby boy is weighing now. My last u/s the Dr estimated him to be born weighing 10 pounds WOW! So my new Dr wanted to see the baby and see his position. I was SO nervous for this one for some reason. I was SO happy to see him. The u/s tech took all his measurements and looked at his organs...everything looks great! He is in the head down, fetal position. He has hair! and this week at 34 weeks he was weighing 5 lbs 6 oz. He is perfect and I cant wait to see him and hold him... counting down the days!! Oh, and we have finally picked out a name..... Nathan Cole.

4-30-08 today was the first of my weekly dr visits. They did my strep b test & I have to wait 48 hours for those results.. They checked my cervix and I am 50% effaced, and 2 cm dilated! I was so happy to hear that something is going on down there! I woke up this morning with a few contractions, but nothing regular or major. I have been having so much pain in my hips and pressure down low in my vagina & bottom. They said its normal and just where the baby has dropped and is pushing down. But I am having a hard time walking! I am so ready for this little boy to be born :)

I've been super busy too. Ethan has been very colicy so I haven't had much sleep, but I love him anyway...this too shall pass!


AJV - Monday, 16 June
I know what you mean, I feel like Ethan is bigger every time I pick him up. He had 4 nights in a row that he cried from about 11pm until 3 am for no reason. I was freaked that he was going to be colicky and cry like that for the next 2 months but last night he was great, he woke up every three hours to eat but then went right back to bed.
Thank God because I was about at my wits end. Cross your fingers for me that he doesn't ever start that again.

When are you going to post some pictures?


AJV - Thursday, 12 June
I hope you are busy enjoying your sweet baby!!! Things are super busy here, Ethan keeps me under control, he's definitly the Boss around here!


AJV - Tuesday, 3 June
I put some pictures up, but I stil can't edit my profile or page.


Baby here yet????????


AJV - Monday, 2 June
I'm having issue with my computer...I can't seem to update my page.

I'm still trying

How are you?


JoshuasMummy130608 - Saturday, 24 May
Haha yeah i get nervous of that everytime i go out. I can just imagine i'll be shopping in the supermarket probally going down the baby aisle and then my waters will break right there infront of everyone. I would be so embarrassed aswell. I'm starting to give up now on him coming on time though. I can just see me still being pregnant near my birthday in just under 3 weeks time lol. x


AJV - Saturday, 24 May
It took us a while but I really like the name. I LOVE HIM SOOO MUCH!!!

Hoe are you doing?


JoshuasMummy130608 - Friday, 23 May
I've not been to l n d yet cos I just know I'll end up being sent home. n then i'll just feel even more dissapointed. I'm gonna wait till they get 5 mins apart on a regular basis n also last around a minute then go. this rate tho i can still see me being here past my due date haha. I hate pain so much but i've been praying every night now that they get more regular then least i'll know hes on his way :D x


JoshuasMummy130608 - Friday, 23 May
I've been havin contractions on n off now for a while but they never seem to get closer, sometimes theyh are really painful other times its just tightenings so i dont really know wots goin off lol. Only got a week left now till i'm due aaaaggghhhh!!! xx


JoshuasMummy130608 - Thursday, 22 May
hey chick. glad everything was ok with the scan. 7lb 7 is a nice size not too big and not to small. Hope its not too long now before baby arrives xx


AJV - Wednesday, 21 May
It was definitly my water!!! I got checked into the hospital at 1100pm and delivered Ethan Gabriel Valdez at 0651am, 5/19/08. 5 lbs 14oz and 18 inches long. He's got a head full of hair and is the love of my life! I couldn't get on line in the hospital so sorry it took so long to update.

How are you?


AJV - Monday, 19 May
I've been having contractions for about 24 hrs now they have been way regular this afternoon/evening about every 3-4 min but they last only about 30 sec and are really not that painful, just a crampy ache.

But all day I have felt wet, as though I were leaking amniotic fluid, but i've been up on my feet all day. So I just got home took a shower and when i laid down I ha a rush of about a half a cup or so of fluid...I jumped up and ran to the bathroom and a little more came out. I think my water may have broken but my contractions have actually eased up. I'm so confused now. I don't want to go in and get sent home or worse yet have to be in the hospital for 24 hrs waiting for true labor.


AJV - Saturday, 17 May
I'm dying to know how you are doing. Are you inlabor or not? What's up?


AJV - Saturday, 17 May
You're 4 cm.... I'm so jealous. I was 2cm yesterday at my apt. I had contractions on and off yesterday but nothing to be excited about. I would much perfer to just go into labor on my own rather then be induced but, I guess it's better then going past term. I just hope he doesn't decide to come on Wednesday...that's the day the doctor I don't like is on call. I'm rooting for Tuesday! If not I guess Friday will be the day. Sending you Labor Dust! Keep me informed on how you are doing today.


AJV - Thursday, 15 May
I think he is still pretty high and I'll have to wait awhile. I can still feel his butt and knee in my ribs. I walk during the day but I haven't tried actually "going for a walk" Maybe I'll try to do something when I get off work the afternoon. I'm READY! I have an apt in the morning, I hope they check me and tell me some good news!


AJV - Thursday, 15 May
We are doing fine over here...it's funny 4 weeks ago I had to be admitted to stop labor twice, now I would love for him to hurry up and he seems to have settled in for the long haul. My pelvis and tail bone hurts so bad I can't wait to not be pregnant... but at the same time I'll miss feeling him wiggle.


AJV - Wednesday, 14 May
I'm sooo ready as well! I know what you mean. I'm glad you are back in the area that's awsome!!!! Where are you having the baby?


MommyJewels - Wednesday, 14 May
Sending you labor dust:)


AJV - Monday, 5 May
I hope you're feeling o.k. all things considered. I know for mw sleeping is the worst thing, I can't seem to get comfortable. I guess we can all be happy we are in the home stretch, it's cool to come on here and see people close to your date having their healthy babies! It won't be long now.


AJV - Friday, 2 May
I'm o.k. just stressed out! I feel great physically you know aches and pains but nothing I can't deal with. My main concern is what's going on with baby boy, he's still not growing and the doctor told me Tuesday that we most likely will have him next week sometime. I really haven't gotten a good feel for what their plan is and it's really stressing me out. If his u/s is better next tuesday will they leave him or what, I hate not knowing what's going on. I'm a planner by nature and I'm really not ready for this baby, but I know I'll feel sooooo much better when I'm holding him and I don't have to wonder how he's doing.

How are things with you? Are you having any signs of labor?


JoshuasMummy130608 - Friday, 2 May
awww i go to the midwife again on tuesday for my 36 weeks check up so hoepfully ill have some gd news like that when i go. I'm so ready to have this baby to n i think he's gettin ready to come out. Just after i replied to ur message earlier i started to feel a bit funny so i went to bed for a lil nap. woke up an hour later and was having really painful contractions so bad i was crying. i timed them and they were 12 mins apart but after about an hour they went away again. I've still got alot of back pain but nothing else now i think he's just keeping me on my toes at the minute the little monkey. Keep me updated and i'll keep u updated to. I've not updated my page recently cos i;ve only been comin on just checkin things. Think will update now in my blog, take care x


JoshuasMummy130608 - Thursday, 1 May
