I am 28 yrs. old. Engaged to an awesome man we've been together for 5yrs, engaged for 2. I am pregnant with my 3rd baby found out last week that it's a boy! I will have a scheduled C-section being as both of my kids were delievered via C-section.

20 Weeks

I am starting this blog a lil' late already halfway there but oh well. This pregnancy was a complete surprise considering after I had my daughter my tubes were tied. One side is no longer obviously. We were surprised but excited, anxious, and a lil nerve racked and not sure if I would honestly make it this far but here I am halfway there and October feels like ages away. I felt movement just lil flutters at about 16 wks. But for the last week our lil' prince has just been moving around everyday I feel him what is odd though is all of his movements are very low along my scar line but the last two ultrasounds the lil bugger was upside down so that could explain it he obviously likes that position, sleep consistent sleep is just out of the question something is always waking me up and it's so frustrating, I just got over the worst cold ever which deprived me of sound sleep and now the lil bugger just goes and goes which is comforting so no complaints. I am quite nervous about a 3rd C-section so anyone out there with some past experience please feel free to ease my woes it is desperately needed! I will post belly and ultrasound pics soon..

21 Week Ultrasound~May 28th, 2008~

Well it seems that our lil boy is just one of those babies that does not want to cooperate when it comes to ultrasounds. I went for an ultrasound today to follow up from the Level II anatomy scan we got everything last time but the face and heart. So today we got the face, and the heart all except the left side...he's a bugger he wasn't upside down this time but sideways ahhhh!!! so now in 4 weeks I have to go back to re-check and to check his growth to double check. The ultrasound tech kinda freaked me out by saying come back in 2 weeks for a growth scan immediately my head starts thinking OMG there's something wrong, so I called the Dr. when I got home just to find the reasoning behind this I thought we got everything but one photo...He said everything is fine but because the baby is uncooperative he just wants to check in 4 weeks..On the bright side at least I get to see him again. I feel like I've had a zillion ultrasounds but it's reassuring knowing the lil bugger is alrite. As far as pregnancy goes the only thing that has really got me this week my bladder is being used as a trampoline, he is still kicking low I have felt some higher around the navel but not much...my poor poor bladder!

31 Weeks~August 6, 2008

Well here we are 10 weeks after my first post and this baby is just kicking away I must say he has finally moved up and the getting kicked in the ribs is much better than the bladder I must say! Well a lot has happened since 21 weeks...I found out I have an underactive thyroid and have been put on medication I didn't find out until about 2 weeks ago which I'm sure would have been much more useful to know at the start of pregnancy but that's my luck!! We had a 4D ultrasound done which was completely amazing at 28 weeks!! I wish I could go again to see his lil face but I might as well wait at this point right? My emotions are on a serious roller coaster ride that seems to have malfunctioned and will not shut off...I sit in quiet misery...I'm just stressed this baby will prolly be here in the next 7-8 weeks depending on when I schedule my c-section and I feel like there is so much to be done yet!! I'm in the mood to nest and I do but by mid-day I get some serious cramps! ugh! I'm tired but can't sleep...I want to be out working or doing something productive other than this repitious cleaning pattern I'm in...Baby Shower is next weekend...and that alone stresses me out...all of my family in the same place..and they all don't get along they tolerate each other for the sake of me but we all know what's underneath!! I feel like a mental case like this blog one thought to the next thought...I can't grab just one. I am excited I can't wait for Jacob to arrive....but I'm so nervous about the 3rd c-section...if the baby is okay all those crazy thoughts ya know! I told my husband when this is all over...I'm gonna need me a strong margarita. I know it's only temporary and it'll be over soon and I'll miss being pregnant but right now all I can think about is getting Jacob out healthy and safe because non-preggo will feel so good at least for awhile. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!!

34 Weeks~August 26, 2008

Well here we are...boy where the time goes I really don't know but in the present day it seems to be dragging. Well emotions have been a roller coaster the last few days or week I should say. Jacob has been moving a lot and the movements are so cute anymore most of them are painful jabs and rolls....but all in all everything is well I go back for a check up on Friday so I guess we'll get more info then. As of today my c-section is scheduled for Oct. 7th which is my due date but I am really NOT okay with this I fear going into labor and that would just be bad. I want to see if there is any possible way to move the date up! They did not schedule it until last week which is a lil late to begin with but that is not my fault...we'll see. I'll post after the doc. appt on friday.
