Tomorrow is the big DAY!

Lovinmyangels — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 16:29:08 GMT

Well its finally come to tomorrow. I'm not nervous..at least not yet although I'm almost counting on a restless night. My little boy will be in my arms tomorrow, can't stop thinking about it. I already ahve the plan for the week and my mother in law is staying a few days which is a big help with Natalie and Brooke. Brooke is just estatic about her little brother coming but Natalie is still pretty clueless. I tried to talk to her about it but she will have to see him to get the connection.

As much as I don't want visitors tomorrow when I have him I already have a few people saying they want to come up there. Aside from the grandparents, two of my sis in laws want to come. I guess I'll tough it out though cause I'm too nice to say say no even though I will probably just want to sleep. I ama little nervous about trhe c-section though. Just knowing that I have to get my cathiter and my IV and then the spinal. That is a little nerve wrecking. but hopefully my recovery will be much better than with the girls. No infections is what I'm praying for cause that sucked the last two times.

My awesome church has contacted me cause they wanna bring me meals for when I return home, so I have that to look forward too. I love them and its just a reminder of how great God is! I already know someone is bringin lasagna, YUM!

I am still potty training my baby girl, she does a 50/50 job but I'm determined, although when Junior comes daddy is gonna have to keep up with it since I won't be able to do much for the first couple weeks. I am planning on breastfeeding, which is something I look forward to. I loved breastfeeding Natalie!

Either way, I'm excited about having him not in my tummy anymore, looking to being able to breath again! Got the nursery set up and everything ready for him so now all I need is. Can't wait!

Finally have a DATE!!

Lovinmyangels — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:32:47 GMT

Well, I did finish getting my daughter enrolled, which she LOVES her new school!! My hubby is still looking for a job...sometimes I feel like he'll never find one, and he cant just "flip burgers" cause that will never get us out on our own. But he's making an effort , it just sucks with the economy and job market. My friends dad is trying to get him a job at his company but no word yet.

I finally met my doctor yesterday. She was ok, not as friendly as her PA but I'm almost done anyway. Juniors heartbeat was 160 and she says he weights probably about 5.5 pounds :) Last week I did a 3D/4D ultrasound, that was really cool! I got to see my son's face, he has full lips and chubby cheeks!! He is sooooo cute I cant wait to meet him! Well, since I did finally get to meet my doc we got my c-section scheduled. I originally thought they would do it on the 20th cause I was told they like to schedule the csections on monday...but I was wrong!! They are taking him outta me on the 14th!!! OMG thats only 2 weeks from today!!! I'm a ball of emotions, I am sooo excited to meet my son, but nervous and feeling a little unprepared. I'm working on it though.

I was not going to have a baby shower after all but all my friends insisted I needed to have one so my cousin is throwing me one this weekend. I'm happy but I just hope it turns out ok, I just feel like I'm going to overwhelmed. But I get to see a lot of family and I love seeing my family. They are always so supportive. Plus maybe I can get stocked up on diapers. My 2 year old is still working on potty training and double diapers just does not sound fun.

Looks like we'll still be here at my mom's when the baby is born, but I guess it will be ok. I'm a little relieved to know that my husband will most likely be home with me when I have him which means 100% help! Which in my past csections experiences I'm gonna need all the help I can get. But you never know, he may snag a job....I guess that would be a good thing for our family, I just have selfish thoughts sometimes cause I want to have him with me :/ But I'll be happy too.

Well.....14 days to go. Better get to nesting, something I've been DYING to do for like the past 3 weeks lol.

Not great but much better

Lovinmyangels — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 01:55:55 GMT

Well i finally got all my medical records transfered to my new doctor. I went in for an appontment and then th next day I had the glucose test. So far I like it much better there. I did move in with my parents. Its ok, just my dad is set in his ways, he's weird about his yard and computer and tv. My mom is super nicethough and we have been taking turns doing dinner. I am enrolling my daughter in school here so she can start and then I will just have to transfer her when we move. My husband is still job hunting, he's going to a job fair tomorrow, hopefully he will get some bites. He is thinking of working with his brother, but its just not steady....it pays great when they are busy but they will have slow weeks where he could make nothing cause there is no work so I'm just not sure. The baby seems to be doing great. He is still active, very very active and he's growing well. I'm trying to have a baby shower but no one thinks I should have one since he;s my third...but he's my first boy! And I feel like I have nothing! But anyway...just tired like all the time but I'm still getting things done. Monday was my appointment and grocery shopping, then Tuesday was my glucose test and WIC, today I had laundry day and tomorrow I will be enrollingmy baby girl in 1ST GRADE!!! So as tired as I am I keep on going! I'm getting down to the last month before Junior comes. Time to be saving so we can get the heck outta here when he gets a job. I'mma keep on prayin!

Baby, stress and more stress

Lovinmyangels — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 18:06:47 GMT

Well unfortuately the last time I posted was the last time I went to the doctor. Things have been quickly going downhill. I don't like my doctor so I cancelled my following appointment to look for a new one. Somewhere between then and that appointment my husband lost his job he had been at for about a year and half. He wrecked his work truck and we didn't have the money to fix it. In the mean time we are still paying on it! On top of that our lease is up at our home and we have to move out. We have been doing everything we can to for him to try and get a new job and its been difficult since his license is suspended over something that happened more then 3 years ago! He filed unemployement first thing but we have yet to recive anything. All last week we were stranded at home, cause there was no gas in the car and no money for gas. It's been so stressful. We have to move in with my mom since he still doesn't have a job, my daughter starts school next month, I still havent seen a new doctor and the baby is due in the end of September! I wanna pull my hair out. II wanna be excited for my baby boy to come, but now I wish I wasn't so far along so we can get back on our feet :( I'm starting to pack this week and my husband has been doing odd jobs to pay whatever bills are left to be payed at our home, but currently our working vehicle is now 2 months behnd on payments and they are looking to repo it...we're hiding it right now cause if they take it we won't have any transportation. I keep praying that God will take us out of this shithole we fell into and I will continue to pray. Maybe sometime between now and when the baby comes my husband we'll find a job, catch up on our car and fix his truck. Plus this morning the car had a tire blow out...so add that to the list! Hopefully things will get better....

19 weeks 2 days!

Lovinmyangels — Mon, 03 May 2010 17:16:37 GMT

Almost halfway done. I had my doctor appointment last Monday and today I had an ultrasound in the morning. So as I have been waiting for THIS ultrasound, I emphasize this because we are finding out the sex of the baby. Everyone, especially my husband has been hoping for a boy, and myself as well. So I have been sort of loosing sleep over this ultrasound. I would love this baby regardless no doubt, but I had my heart set on a little man. So I'm waiting in the waiting room for this ultrasound, and words can't even explain my emotions. I had looked up gender disappointment just in case. I twiddle my thumbs. They took like 30 minutes to call me back. The whole time the doctor is taking measurment and my heart is beating so hard I could hear it when they were doing the baby's heart beat, which the baby is adorable BTW! I had my husband on the phone, he wanted to be there but he had to work and the ultrasound tech was awesome and let him be on the phone with me. Okay okay...hurry up I wanna know already (thats what I'm thinking in my head at least). So finally after all the fun measurment taking, he's like "everything looks good, any questions?", I'm like, yeah...can you tell what it is?? Haha...he's all calm and like "oh..it's a boy....WHAT, I was like it is, are you sure??? LOL, he took a picture of the little pecker for me! I don't know when I stopped smiling, but my husband it so happy! I'm so happy. I already told half my family and myspace and facebook! I just can't stop thinking about my little man. :cheer: I finally get to have my little boy, the pne I've been dreaming of since day one.

14 weeks 4 days

Lovinmyangels — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 18:23:13 GMT

Wow I'm realizing I haven't been on in a while and I am already into my second trimester. So far I have lost about 20 pounds, that I am slowly gaining back now, and my tummy popped out last Wednesday, one day nothing, than the next, KABLAMM, the baby tummy!! :pregnant:

Just had my 3rd appointment yesterday, not much happened, just everything looks good and the baby's heartbeat sounds amazing. I had my ultrasound at 9 weeks and everything looked great, the baby is right on top of my due date to the day. So my due date is definitely September 25th!

My morning sickness has finally started going away although when I wake up early I still usually throw up, but my appitite is coming back and I'm not in need of a daily nap anymore. :newyear: So yay!

Other than the baby in my tummy, my 2 year old has been difficult. I tried the potty training thing, but she won't sit on her potty for more than 30 seconds, if that. but I feel like she's ready since she keeps taking her diaper off and going all over the place, but when it comes down to it she doesn't want to go in her potty. Its so frustrating. On top of that she's been whiny and getting into things she knows she's not supposed to and just being plain difficult. My older daughter isn't doing great either, she got written up at school and has been getting bad marks at least once a week and for the past 2 weeks its been 2 marks. And she's only in Kindergarten!!! I guess I'm feeling a little overwhelmed and this baby is just growin and growin, no time to slow down, I just hope everything is semicalm by the time the baby comes. As I type my 2 year old is tempting to take her diaper off and now is screaming cause I won't let her!! I still have housework to do and a headache, which I have been getting those frequently. Anyway....I need to finish cleaning and deal with my little punk , sometimes the thought of another one makes my head spin. But I know there are better days and not so good days, just gotta keep my chin up and hope for more better days, on those days I feel like super mom. Today...eyeyeyeye.

going into month 3!

Lovinmyangels — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 18:22:49 GMT

Well, it's been interesting. Friday I was so sick. I was up at 3 am and 5 am just throwing up. It was so severe that it scorched my throat causing it to become swollen and so sore I could barely swallow and everything was painful. SO I stayed in bed as much as I could all day Friday. I probably slept on and off til 4 and after Brooke got home I woke up a little and couldn't sleep. On top of that, when my hubby got home he was sick too!!!!! And I had the kids, so I made dinner and took care of the kids while feeling like total poo while he had to work all day so he passed out when he got home. Lucky for me both the kids passed out before 8 and I got to lay down til 10. Then hubby wakes up and we talked and laughed and felt almost normal. He had to go pick up his brother so I went to bed and by morning I was back to me. Which was perfect cause I had a birthday party to throw Sunday. I ordered the cake and deep cleaned the house. I was busy til maybe 3 or 4. Then at 5 hubby got home and it felt like a normal day. His parents got there around 7 and we got to have chicken, I was thrilled not to cook. :grin:

Sunday finally came of course, and it was buuusssssyyyyy. After breakfast the moonwalk people were coming to set up and show us what to do if it rained. Rain was on the forcast and we were having an outside party so we were a little worried. Then we had to go to party city and get the supplies, dora. And then fiesta to get the groceries. His mom made mexican rice and picco de gayo mmmmm. And then they didn't have the fijita meat we needed so we had to go to the meat market, then finally to pick up the cake. Oh and ice...we almost forgot ice.Then as soon as we got home hubby headed to where the party was at and I helped with cooking and putting together party bags. Then people started getting here and all that fun stuff. The kids had a blast, Natalie(the birthday girl 2!!!) weas kind of cranky though so I was a little sad she wasn't being her normal fun self. But all in all it was a great turn out. A lot of family came and 6the weather ended up being nice, which was an unexpected gift from God. So I was pretty pooped after clean up and everything. And I still managed to stay up til midnight, but man was it nice to fall asleep after a hard days work lol.

This morning, I had bad nausea so after Brooke left for school I slept it off. But It came back and I slept more of it off and then finally got my lazy butt up at 10. The doctor office people called this morning to remind me of my appointment tomorrow, not like I forgot, I've been counting down the days. It is my OFFICIAL 1st appointment. I am soooo nervous. I'm gonna have Natalie with me and then I'll get blood drawn and poked and stuff, but the good news is I think they may do an ultrasound and they MIGHT be able to hear the heartbeat with the doppler at 9 weeks! SO I'm hoping to see the little exsistance in my tummy, or hear him, either or. Other than that since I woke up late the days seems to be flying by, I like that, I get kind of lonely during the day. My Natalie is sleeping and they cut our water off! But it will be back on by tomorrow. Anyway, gotta eat.

8 weeks 5 days

Lovinmyangels — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 18:04:58 GMT

Its already been another that has flown by. I have been experiencing morning sickess that lasts all day, today I'm feeling good though. This weekend is Natalie's party so I have a busy weekend. Most likely Saturday my hubby has to work, which sucks, other than that and shopping for the party Saturday is free, but Sunday will be busy busy busy. Next week is my official first prenatal visit, but this time I won'ty have help so I'm a little worried aboiut Natalie. Hopefully the nurses can occupy her, I'll have to plan ahead, toys, cereal, sippy cups, anything to keep her happy. It's a challenge sometimes, but I'll get through, I always do.

7 weeks 5 days

Lovinmyangels — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 14:45:50 GMT

Well, its been almost a week! I have been soooo busy. I had my appointment yesterday but they just wanted to confirm my pregnancy so I was a little bummed cause I drove about a 2 and a half round trip so my friend could come with me while they did the tests they needed to do, so I felt a little disappointed. My morning sickness has not let up since it started last week. At least it's only in the morning, but it still sucks waking up feeling like crap every morning. OH and my dumb butt bought a dog. SHe was soooo cute, but I always wish I wouldn't have. I love her to death but when you have a million things to do and you finally sit down to eat and then the dog poops on the floor. Yeah...wish I wouldn't have, even though she's doll she's still an extra chore and extra stress. I hope I can get her potty trained soon. I still have to potty train my 2 year old!

This weekend is gonna be busy...again with the busy weekend. I have my Grandpas 88th birthday on Saturday and my husbands grandma has a party on Sunday, plus I still want my Valentines day! With my luck I'll just end up skipping it and going straight to bed. I can't stay up past 10 unless I took a day nap, which happens sometimes. And it's nice when it does. I really want to see the movie Valentines Day, it looks funny plus there are a lot of actors I like in it.

Right now I am watching a baby story, part of my morning routine. I don't have luxury this morning cause my appt is at 9 30 so I will have to hustle here in a minute to get me and Natalie ready to go. Its cold and rainy today, I would rather stay in but I gotta do what I gotta do right? Plus I have to mail off Natalie's birthday invitations before the mail man comes. The house is a mess so when I get home I have to clean. UGGGGG. But on the bright side, being so busy has helped my pregnancy chug along. I'm gonna be 8 weeks already on Saturday. And by the time I have my real first prenatal appointmnet, I'll be 9 weeks! Anyway, getting nauseaus again, gotta get ready anyway. :wave:

TGIF!!!! 6 weeks 6 days!

Lovinmyangels — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 14:52:40 GMT

It's finally Friday. Not only am I super excited it's Friday but this morning we finally got our tax return!!!!!!! I'm extatic! It's about to the weekend too so yayayayayay! :blob:

Well morning sickness is definitley an everyday thing now I guess. And it even is only in the morning. But It only last the first hour I'm awake then subsides. Other than that I feel normal. Still not quite grasping the pregnancy, but I think that;s normal. I haven't even seen the doctor yet so it's hard to think there is a baby in there growing every day. I have been UTD on my week by week pregnancy to see whats going on in there, I even already started reading my 7 weeks even though I'm not quite 7 weeks yet. But it's all I have to connect that I am actually pregnant. It's going on 3 weeks that I have missed my period, probably one of the great things about pregnancy. Funny, I took an Am I Pregnant? quiz the other day and it told me 40% lol!!!:rofl: It made me laugh. When I wasn't pregnant a few months before it said 80%, then my period came 2 days later lol. Anyway...pregnancy is such an interesting wonderful thing. Its so facinating to me.

Well, I am supposed to do laundry today but there is so much trash in the laundry room that I have to remove first and that's why I'm stalling. Plus I am a procrastinator already. BUt it's not even 9 yet so I'm not worried. I have to start getting things ready for Natalie's party, its a few weekend away but invitations need to be mailed out and that's time consuming. Anyway, I wanted to type more but I am super monster hungry my tummy is growling and hurting. Better eat or I'll end up upchucking again, yyyyuck.

Only 233 more days to go.

Lovinmyangels — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:19:17 GMT

Well morning sickness finally kicked my @ss this morning. I guess it's good though, but sucks at the same time. I finally made my doc appointment, but I have to wait til next Tuesday, which is cool I guess, I'll be 7 weeks by then, maybe they'll do an internal ultrasounds so I can have some pictures and see the heart beating. I wanna cry just thinking about it.

Well yesterday was super busy. Javier was off for court but he wanted to get his hair cut from his cousin on the oppisite side of town so I had to take Brooke out of school cause I wouldn't be back in time for when she got off the bus. SO I had both the girls, waiting. OMG it was awful. I manage but I wish I had something more to entertain them with. In the end we got to go to Chuck E Cheese while Daddy was at court, soi that was fun. I <3 having them and having fun with them. They are my babies, can't wait to add another family member.

Have a small list of things to do today, which I haven't even started yet. Starting with dishes...uggg. Then getting ready to go to walmart....ugggg. Gotta get Brooke's galsses fixed there plus I wanted to pick up a few groceries while I was there...uggg. Bottom line, I feel like poo and I wish I could just stay in bed all day. Plus Natalie keep trying to put her ride on horse on the coffee table to ride it! I'm playing catch the toddler! Now she's mad cause I took her horse off, and crying. Better vamoose.

Happy birthday baby girl

Lovinmyangels — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:02:14 GMT

Well today is my sweet Natalie's birthday. She is still sleeping though. I wish it wasn't so cold I would love to take her to the park or something. We got her a little couch, Dora, she already saw it but I put it up so I could put a bow on it and give it to her tonight. My parents are coming over too for cupcakes that me and Brookie are gonna make together when she gets home from school. She is so excited about it, she has been telling anyone she can that her and her mommy are making cupcakes on her little sisters birthday. Silly girl.

Well, threw up this morning. It was awful, but on the bright side when I was done I felt loads better. It could be much worse although the worse just may not have come yet. I realized yesterday when I changed my calander that my WIC appointment is actually next week, so I am going to go ahead and make my appointment for Friday. I'm so anxious to get in and find out whats going on with my little bean. :pregnant:Well it's time to get Brooke on the bus and maybe get back to sleep. I am super tired and the pillow in my room sounds like heaven.

6 weeks 2 days and a birthday

Lovinmyangels — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:14:31 GMT

Well, I am now 6 weeks and 2 days. I think I keep myself busy enough to pass these weeks fast. This week, I have Natalie's birthday! She will be 2 tomorrow! My big girl. Then hubby has the 3rd off for court, and chuck e's for Natalies birthday. And then Friday I have a WIC appointment, so I get to ad myself on now that I'm pregnant. On top of that I just got insurance so I ned to begin making doctor appointments for me and the girls. So I will be busy busy, plus this weekend it's superbowl and my nephews birthday party. So it will fly by and I'll be 7 weeks before I know it. Today I am just gonna relax and watch a baby story.

Other than that, I have been exhausted. Plus everything makes me gag. If I see a roach or when I go pee, the smell make me gag. Its gross, and I think my husband is getting some morning sickness too lol. Poor baby. And hes the worker!

I am planning on making a doctor appointment for next week. I would make it this week but I already feel a little overwhelmed with all the other things I have to do this week. I'm taking my prenatals and drinking my orange juice, so I think I'll be ok to see the doc in a week or so. Probably next Thursday. I'm a little anxious but trying not to think to much about it. I do want to know everything is ok since my last pregnancy was a miscarriage. But so far so good, and that miscarriage was over a year ago and happened quickly after finding out, so 6 weeks is definitely made me feel better about this pregnancy. Plus the fact that its planned and I am taking care of myself makes me feel I have a better chance of keeping this baby. Miscarriages suck, even unplanned pregnancy misscarriage. But I'm nice and pregnant now and I don't think its going to change anytime soon, and thatsthe way I want it. I feel blessed.:cloud9:

The Morning Sickness has Begun...

Lovinmyangels — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:31:26 GMT

Well, I am 5 weeks and 2 days and everything seems to be going well. My insurance is coming along and I have already started looking for a doctor. I am so excited to make my appointment put until my insurance goes through I have to play the waiting game. I finally threw up this morning, luckily it ended there but I'm scared now that I am going to get it bad. But I know its for a good cause.

Had a busy weekend as usual. I think this coming up weekend we have nothing planned so I'm looking forward to just staying home with the kids and hubby. Just filed our tax return yesterday, I am SOOOO excited about that. Finally some fun money we can spoil ourselves with. I haven't even bought anything for myself since last tax return, so I am definitley looking forward to it. PLus I love buying things for the kids, and now the new baby! I wish I knew what it was so I could buy some clothes. I am feeling pretty good. The house is clean and that makes me happy:grin:.

I think I am going to watch the lovely bones today. I read the book a couple years ago and I have been so excited to see the movie. Think I'll read some more of my book too. Hoping today flies by. I don't care much for Monday's. My little Natalie stayed up late and woke up early so she is taking a nap now, so I have the next 2 hours to myself and I already cleaned so I get to do whatever I want! Better watch Lovely Bones now before she wakes up.

4 weeks and 5 days!

Lovinmyangels — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 15:06:05 GMT

Well I am feeling pretty good about this baby, I think it will stick around! I have been uber sleepy though, and gave up caffine for the first trimester. I feel like I am already showing, but that can't be, it's WAY too early. Maybe twins?? LOL, that would be something, but I doubt it. I have been busy with the pup I had but finally found him a home, now I have to potty train my Natalie so I won't have 2 kiddos in diapers. I am super excited about this pregnancy. I feel like everything is right. I still have many more people to tell!
