Hi everyone. My Name is amy. i am expecting my little girl in MAY! I'm 18, go to school full time and am saving up as much money as i can in order to buy a house for me and my daughter someday! i'm going to school to become and legal secretary, and then eventually cosmotology school to learn the art of Make-up. me and my daughter will have a wonderful life =] <3

p.s in that picture i have my septum and lip pierced. i dont have those pierced currently anymore.. but i do have a monroe piercing now.

WEEK 30!

Hooray! 10 more weeks and i get to meet my beautiful daughter =]. (if she comes on time!) today i wont lie, i feel like crap =/. the muscles in my pelvis are just SO tight. it hurts =[. but im almost there! im so ready to be done with this pregnancy its been so hard on my already terrible joints =[ . BUT, its still a beautiful experience =]

Week 31!

I think im coming down with a cold! =[ i couldn't go to school today b.c i was so sick. i was dizzy, and nauseous and all sorts of yucky stuff. This pubic bone aching is killing me... everytime i try and roll out of bed its a sharp pain going down my right hip and right leg... OUCH... getting close to the end here... but i just dont see where there is anymore room for this baby to grow and move! oy... she kicks me so much hah. i love her though alot<3 i cant wait to meet her.

WEEK 32!

This is my first week out of school until August 11th. Everyone said i would be bored but im not. i feel incredibly rested and i even took a walk today! it made my back feel better for about 45 minutes afterwards too. For some reason i am feeling alot better even though im 32 weeks pregnant 14 lbs heavier and filled with stretch marks =] i got my hair dyed and cut and my nails done the other day. It made me feel so beautiful as corny as that sounds but its true. i needed it. its been really hard for me to get used to this whole pregnancy body deal since ive been skinny my entire life. but now im not hating it as much. My mom bought me the bottle of champagne we are popping open as soon as the baby gets here =] ive been dying for a glass. (i dont drink much but every once in a while i like to enjoy a glass of wine or champagne even though im only 18) I have a new boyfriend thing. Well hes not really knew i graduated high school with him. i think he has a pregnancy fetish which at this point is fine with me b.c pregnant chicks need some lovin' too! but anyway 51 days until i get to meet my daughters (fingers crossed)<3

April 2, 2008 : (week 33) : Today i got my stepper machine. I love it =] i've already been on it like 4 times today. It makes me feel so much better about myself. Now that i have a bit more energy im finally enjoying being pregnant now that its almost over! =[ My next appointment is on Friday im excited to see how my little one is doing. Alot of people told me that as i get closer to my due date that i would get nervous but honestly im just ready to meet my little girl!<3

WOOT! only a few weeks left!!!! May 17th is only 18 days away!! I actually called my friend the other day whom i havent talked to in a few weeks and she didn't answer so i left a message saying just to call me and she called back adn was like OMG did you have the baby? haha i just thought it was really funny lol. Honestly though i am so ready for this baby to be outttt. however, the room isn't even in order yet and my bag isn't packed yet... my mom has been awesome though.. i lvoe her so much even though she annoys me sometimes. She knew i wanted a vera bradley cosmetic bag and she bought one for me and it matches my baby bag!! So in return for mothers day/her birthday i bought her a purse that matches her ID carrier.. anyway... im ready to have this baby... i took a 30 minute walk today (i know it doesn't sound like much but im out of shape haha) and im hoping to go pick up some Red Leaf Raspberry tea. i think thats what its called?

May 2nd 2008 : Went to the doctors today! i gained another 3 lbs so im up to 23lbs ... ugh... but she said that baby was healthy and that the weight i gained was more likely then not all baby. ALSO ... this was my first internal exam/cervical check (at 38 weeks... talk about late) but im 2cm and 75% effaced! HOORAY i was not expecting that!... i have been cramping and BHing all day... soooo uncomfortable but im nearing the end ... HOORAY!

Wow... i can't believe i only have 13(ish) days left if she comes on time! Now im getting nervous! A bit ago i was hoping she would come early so i could stop being so damn uncomfortable but now i hope she stays in there!! Ive decided on a name. Giana Rose =] i think its beautiful. The ex's court date is set at May 21st 2008 so we'll see how that goes... im sure he'll only get probation b.c the court system doesn't give a sh*t. whatever as long as he takes responsibility for the fact that he did something WRONG. Ive decided on my birth plan sorta. I will have no pain medication until i just can;t take it anymore... i want to be able to walk around and change positions and try and make myself as comfortable as i possibly can. I dont plan on calling the ex when she is born either... i will just send them (he and his mother) a Birth Announcement card a day or so later b.c i dont really want visitors in the hospital or the first week or so. gettttting sooo close<3

Just took another Hour Long Walk! Hoping to make progress at the doctors on May 9th!! Currently 2cm 75% effaced

May 8th 2008: Well, today the braxton hicks just won't quit. For the past 3-4 days i have been getting them non-stop! Last night i had some cramping and it was really uncomfortable for an hour and a half or so. I know its a good sign... but i would much rather be uncomfortable laying in a hospital bed knowing i will meet my daughter in a few hours then laying in my bed feeling like crap not knowing anything! All i can say is that i better have progressed a centimeter or two and somewhere around 90% effaced by tomorrow at my doctors appointment for all this agony i have been dealing with the past week!! I think im going to ask the doctor if she will do a sweep if Giana doesn't make her entrance by the 16th (which is my next appointment and the day b4 my due date) I'm just done being pregnant and i want my daughter in my arms. I also feel like having her here will help me be more decisive and stern about the decisions i have made for her about her father and other set of grandparents. I have decided that they are not benificial in her development and in fact might be detrimental to her development if they are in her life (way too complicated to get into right now) But once shes here i'll know im either doing the right thing or not. I love my daughter already and i just want to be able to hold her little hand, and her little feet that i can feel in my sternum haha. I still cannot believe that she could come "any day now". Its so not real to me yet... Im sure labor will snap me into reality haha. <3

HOORAY! doctors appointment today at 2. i will let you all know when i get back!

back from the doctors.. progressed to 3 cm... still 75% effaced. had my membranes stripped =] very uncomfortable but since then (about 3 hrs ago) i have been cramping like no other. hopefully it amounts to something! doctor estimated her to be in the low to mid 6lbs weight range. i asked her if that was too small she said shes small but she is very healthy!! HOORAY!
