See how my baby is doing

I could not stand the other page. The blog went on and on and on. If you really feel like reading the blog of a depressed, sad, sick pregnant gal, have at it. You will find it here: http://i-am-pregnant.com/vip/us-n-kenzie-2

The information here is from 5 months on. I am hoping it will be more upbeat and happier as I settle into being pregnant.

Since you are here anyway, why not go to the baby name poll and vote on which you like best. It's okay, not many people like the names we are choosing, and I am okay with that because I don't really like their names. The name poll is here:

VOTE on my Name List

In late February we found out that we are having a girl!!
its a girl GiRl its a girl
March 13th - I am going to turn 32 tomorrow. This is a hard reality. I am still having trouble having had turned 30 a few years ago. I am going to be 50 when this child graduates from high school!! OMG!! I remember when my mom turned 32 and they had a party for her and I remember thinking how OLD that sounded to me (I was 6 at the time). Now I am 32....almost. :) My husband works that day so it will just be me and my daughter. I am looking forward to that a little. I may take her to get her nails painted. She loves going to the salon and letting them paint her nails. She is such a girl! So you know what I dont like...maternity tops with the ribbony thing that goes around and ties in the back. They kinda look like something I would have bought for my daughter when she was 4. I feel like a pregnant toddler. Yes, I do own some of the tops like that, but I dont like it. I have had such a hard time finding pregnancy tops that dont make me look about 300 pounds more than I really am. The fact that I am heavy to begin with means that I dont need anything adding the illusion of any extra poundage to me. Ah well.

March 18th - I am not feeling right. I fainted yesterday and now I am worried about doing it again and either ending up being in the middle of the office I work in or smacking my head on something and being knocked unconscious. LoL. My husband still has not made any move toward me, but I did let him know that I am not going to be the one to initiate anything any longer. He knows that I am bothered that I feel as though I have to hound him to get him to want to mess around and it does not seem to affect him much so I guess we'll see what happens. It's not looking good though. It hurts and bothers me that he knows how much this is affecting me and he still cannot bring himself to do it. I feel like I am making him do it or that he is messing around out of obligation or just to get me to leave him alone when I bug him about it. I also feel kinda silly being so upset about this. After all, it's just sex. I guess its not so much the sex itself as the fact that it stopped so abruptly and with no obvious reason.

Hi there, how are you feeling? Just wanted to say hello to someone who's actually in the Chicago area AND pregnant lol...I moved from Chi back in August and miss it terribly!

Hang in there and congrats!


lizzie287 - Thursday, 27 Mar
I'm doing pretty well. Pretty uncomfortable though, and pretty much dreading the 3rd trimester lol.


lizzie287 - Wednesday, 26 Mar
Hey, just wanted to drop in and see what's new and how everything's going. Glad to see you're feeling better about the pregnancy :)


~Bridget~ - Sunday, 23 Mar
I love your page!


jenn8808 - Friday, 21 Mar
Thanks for the MIL/FIL advice! I am glad I am not the only person who doesn't want everyone hanging out after such a tiring time! I read your page.... and about the initiating of things with hubby.... yah, I am the one who has to always.... I told him I am not anymore b/c I feel like I am making him do chores! I just am not getting it anymore either and am upset about it.... it really sucks!


my-lil-miracle - Thursday, 20 Mar
Hey Emily, thanks so much for the comment I just wish that she would drop the 'you f'd up' act and maybe put on a supportive sister face once in a while... I guess we all have our family fued's though, huh? I'm going to get tested for GD again today, so I'll write more later, got to take a shower.... thanks again.


seniorbaby08 - Thursday, 20 Mar
hey thank you so much.. we are bak home now and everything went fantastic!! i will update the whole story later.


brown-eyes - Wednesday, 19 Mar
so true takes alot of time esp. when u r married or have a kid involved. i just dont get him i gave him everything so many chances n than he leaves me after me bein pregnant w our planned child. so wrong n it seems like to me like he just forgets all he done, so wrong. i should just let it go but its hard. his life will just go on while ill be a single parent n have to make it thru. n i know he will denie to his friends or his new chicks what hes done. n how can he already calls it a friendship puuhh. so i c u r a ikea junky lol


brown-eyes - Wednesday, 19 Mar
thx 4 ur comment. try to my best in it but everytime we get along great i want him back n now that was zhe final cut (again) hearing that. it just hurts, i hope my thoughts will be takin off when the baby is there. i think i prob be better off without him since he still wanna play around,etc. so when did ur meet ur new hubby after ur ex? sometimes i wish i would find somebody else quickly to heal the pain. but we all know that i need to build up myself first.....


trust.believe.havefaith - Wednesday, 19 Mar
Yeah and this was my last spring break, but there was no drinking or partying involved. LOL. Just sleeping, eating, and watching tv. O well. I figure I have plenty time ahead of me to do those things. I know entertaining a 5 year old can be very challenging my parents 'adopted' a little 5 year old and I had to watch her on Sunday...she is a handful, but I love her so she is fine.


kelly.m - Wednesday, 19 Mar
Hey hun

Thanks for telling me about your daughter, I am absolutly convinced that I will be early, obviously this is my first so have nothing to go on b ut thinking about my dates I think they have me wrong anyway.And I am massive!!!!!!


derra1976 - Wednesday, 19 Mar
Thanks for putting my mind at ease. Hope everything is going well for you!! Take care!


SmurfWxMama - Wednesday, 19 Mar
Girl you make me laugh all the time, I love your posts! Now I find out your from Chicago too! My hubby is from chicago and I'll actually be visiting there next month, can't wait! What part of Chicago are you in? My In Laws live on the south side, yeah I know horrible huh!


trust.believe.havefaith - Wednesday, 19 Mar
Hello and how are you?? I am fine just got home from spring break which was a much needed break from school. It is all down hill from here. How have you been feeling?? Kennedy moves so much now...I am like what is really going on in there?? LOL.


my-lil-miracle - Wednesday, 19 Mar
Hey, Emily, I really doubt that the u/s will have any affect on your baby.. they don't use radiation, they use high frequence sound beams (so high that we can't hear them) and those beans bounce off the insides and come back as an image measured by space and depth... It's harmless... I hope everything is okay and that your feeling well... Let me know what happens


levismom - Tuesday, 18 Mar
I have read your post about the sex issues you are having with your husband. Perhaps, he is too insecure to tell you that he is secretly afraid of hurting the baby...or he cannot overcome the fear that the baby can feel his penis. I am only attempting to offer you a solution to the way you are feeling. Most men are not open enough about their feelings to tell you how they really feel. So, instead, they just pretend that nothing is wrong and its business as usual. I am sorry you are so frustrated. I wish I had a sex drive. My poor husband hasn't had sex in six months.


fisheagle74 - Tuesday, 18 Mar
I just read your blog about your dh. You typed the words that I have been feeling for a long time!! With both my pg my dh does not want much to do with me! I know how horrible it feels and I am sorry - but know you are not alone! I have come to terms with it and just initiate whenever my selfish self wants it!!! He doesn't turn me down but NEVER initiate either. Thankfully pregnancy is only 9 months! My dh will never admit that he is not attracted to me while pg but I really don't think he is. I feel he says that he is so he does not hurt my feelings.

Good luck and just do what I do... take it with a grain of salt and become really selfish (in that aspect of your life).


braenel - Tuesday, 18 Mar
tried reading the whole message but couldn't find it on the page. i'm new here. hope you're okay.


nmck - Sunday, 16 Mar
I just read your post about your husband not initiating. Why don't you just take the reins for the remainder of the pregnancy? I can totally see how it would be frustrating, but it seems like he is being really considerate of your feelings. Of course it seems simple to me when my pregnancy hormones aren't the ones involved in the situation! Good luck, Girl!


19sarah87 - Thursday, 13 Mar
A little boy who lives opposit me was rushd into hosp b/c hes got a rash they let him out but as got to go bak b/c they dnt know what it is im worried incase its contagous and can harm my unborn baby as its a shared house am i stupid to be worried?

my-lil-miracle - Thursday, 13 Mar

my-lil-miracle - Thursday, 13 Mar
Hey 1st off what the H**l is 'ROFL?', I have seen this and i always just pretend like i know what it means, but i'm pretty much clueless... also thank you for your advice, I know it will be hard but i am too determined to let my life get back to the way it used to be.
