21 week check up

5/22/07

I had my 21 week Appointment with Kami Today. Everything is doing good I gained some weight I'm up to 139. My blood pressure is good. We listened to Emma's heartbeat172. I told Kami our baby girls name she loved it !! Said she had ONE baby named that spelled that way 3 years ago. Other Than that nothing special I go back in a month. After Isabella and I went to see my Grandparents and saw my cousin who is a month behind me she is due Oct 24 she not even showing yet. But it was a good day. Tomorrow is my 3-D ultrasound I'm very excited I can't wait,

Very pretty! I had a feeling you were having a girl. The bond between sisters is so sweet to watch. Claire was a name on our list too when Mackenzie was on the way. I wanted Sydney Claire (still do if there is ever a baby girl #3). Emmaleigh Claire is beautiful!

Ultrasound

5/10/07

Yesterday was my mid-pregnacy ultrasound. I was so nervous about making sure our baby was healthy and the big choice to find out or not. There I sat in waiting room with new born baby girl on one side of me and a new born baby boy on the other side of me. The wait felt like it was forever the room was almost empty by the time I was called and I couldn't help to look back and forth from the girl to the boy wondering which one I thought I was having. The way I was feeling all along very sick and other little wise tales told me I was having a little girl yet on the other hand it could have all been in my head everyone I knew said girl but I didn't believe it to be true. I was finally called weighed in at 140 not bad for all the weight I had lost but again they haven't seen me since February and wonder why I lost 8 lbs I was like it was much more than that I actually gaining now. The lady started the ultrasound the baby was sooo cute moving around I was like Wow that baby moves alot more than I feel. the baby waved to us soooo cute we listen to her heart 162 bpm made me start to think maybe it was a girl even tho she was 138 when i say Kami last. Got her weight a little under 1 lbs and then time for the big choice to find out or not I went with it scared still unsure but I went ahead and found out. The lady asked what I had at home I told her 3 boys andone girl. My daughter is hoping for a girl she has been saying girl since day one. then the tech told me it looks like she is getting her wish it's a little girl. I said really ?!?! I was so shocked I could see the 2 legs and no penis and kept waiting for her to focus in on the penis and then before i knew it she was focusing in on her girl parts.She Even typed Girl on the ultrasound i never had that on Bellaultrasound made me feel so happy then I started crying I was sooo happy for a healthy baby girl I felt like a big dork but I couldn't help my emotional self. I should have known it was a girl all along I mean i swear this one is Bella all over again but I swore it had to be in my head so now we have 3 boys 2 girls how perfect. my boys all share a room and my girls share a room. I can't help to call them my girls my daughters sounds like music to my ears. I called my mom as soon as I got out she was sooo excited I sure the whole town heard her scream that made em feel wonderful that she was sooo happy and I spend the rest of the evening spreading the word a new princess in the castle is on the way and made her a very cute slideshow of her ultrasound pictures and I have an appointment to have my 3d done on May 23 at 2:00pm I soooo excited for that. By the time it came to settle down my weekly morning sickness set in ugh but it felt different like okay your a girl and you going to make me feel like this so 19 weeks of morning sickness how wonderful hopefully it ends soon and I can enjoy my last pregnancy. Yes this is my last she completes our family. we couldn't be happier with 3 sons and 2 daughters !!!

emotional train wreck last night

4/30/07

I do not even know how to explain what was wrong. All I know is I was wiped out after my visit to my moms at the end of last week and I spent most of the weekend resting and the weekends are usually catch up on the house time and Darin has been great on picking up the slack in the house when I have been down and out and when I did get up to get on the computer he would get all upset like the clock was ticking and he want the computer to play some game. Sunday I was having trouble eating I would fix a plate take a few bites and be turned off by the food and want something less heavy like a bowl on cereal to find out that we were out. SO then I was like forget so it went into a big fight Cause Darin thought I was forcing him to go out and get me some but I wasn't I was just in a tick off mood about my food and if he didn't want to go oh well but he kept insisting on going saying I be mad if he didn't go. SO he goes and when he come back I'm on the computer and he gets all upset again cause he was looking forward to time to play so i get off and plop on the sofa and say all yours so it ends up in this big fight about who knows what I'm crying that I'm tried and the house is a mess and I wish i wasn't so tired so i could get up and scrub like I use to and I do what I can but it never enough and here I have another coming to clean behind and I'm balling an have no idea what it's truly about and i see all these work out products on tv and all and i fell fat I see the pictures I know everyone says I look pregnant but when i look at my body I don't see what everyone else see I feel like I only look pregnant cause of what I wear and if I wore something to lay differently on my body i look like a girl who needed to loose weight and I had plans to go on a diet and get hard core on loosing some weight i kid you not a few weeks before I found out I was pregnant. I know how truly blessed we are to have another baby and how much of a blessing it is and how much we will love this baby and it will fit perfectly into our family and we would never change a thing but is it wrong to just feel blah and wish just for moment this wasn't happening now. Plus all the negativity I've gotten this pregnancy and ppl giving me a hard time about stopping having kids and as much as i try not to let it bother me it does !!! plus my dad is talking about when it comes time to leave this year for another hurricane I don't want to think about that I can't handle being pregnant and loosing everything again. I finally am starting to get my life back together and I have plans this summer for getting this house in order big time before the baby comes and I have this dream of a perfect home birth and I don't want to think about having to delivery anywhere but my home and live anywhere with anyone but my husband and children and being split from my family again. SO i guess I have reasons to be upset but I just want everything to be okay and I'm soo scared and sick of how I've been treated this pregnancy and tried of being tired i want to feel happy and do thing with my family and make the most of the time we have before the baby comes and of the worst happens.

18 week visit with kami

4/28/07

Yesterday was my visit with Kami.I went up to my mom house with Isabella Thursday night. Got in pretty late, I gave Isabella a snack and then put her to bed. Then I talked to Darin on the phone checked a few emails and crawled into bed with Isabella. What a night that was she was all over the bed. The next morning we got up showered got dressed and had breakfast and then my mom came in to take Isabella and I to Kami's office, but when i got to the office I found the door locked I called her on her home phone to find out she had hurt herself the night before and hadn't had the chance to call me but I was welcome to come to the house for my visit. I went to the house brought Isabella with me. It was nice visit nothing special urine and BP and all except weight cause her scale was at the office. Isabella played with her kids while I had my check-up then I went to saw my grandparents we had a nice visit and I got back to my mom just in time to pack up and come home. Darin picked me up from my mom once we got in town we had a few stops to make and by the time I got home my whole body was soooo tired I had to relax in the tub a bit, but that didn't help much I was out by 8pm that day did a number on me. The good news is we had fun and both baby and I are doing well.
