2 more.
Well on lighter note with how things have been we have 2 new additions to the household yet again. In the end of July we brought home 2 more kittens, one black one white. We named them Wicket (black one) & Squee (white one).
Long Awaited Update.
Ok so once again I have abandoned my blog. Bad me. Sometimes I get in the mood to type everything going on, and other times I don't. It's kind of like how I am IRL. Sometimes I can be super talkative with people one day, then day I don't want to be bothered by anyone.
So since I have been MIA since May, I have allot of new's to catch everyone up with, good & sadly some bad. But I'm going to start with all my good news, how things have been going with the Pregnancy.
After my first Dr. appointment my next one took place on Tuesday May 26th, 09 @ 2:40p. I was very Disappointed with this one. It was our first meet with one of the possible Dr's that would be delivering our baby. As soon as we got there, I peed in my cup, they took my weight and blood pressure then took me to my room. First thing the Dr. wasn't on time. Then when he got there I was really hoping we would get to at least hear the heartbeat because I was 8 weeks at that point but we didn't. All he did was ask us a few questions then asked if we had any then sent us on our way. I think we saw him for a total of 5 mins. I wasn't very pleased with him at all.
My next one happened to be my end of the first trimester screening. They wanted to make sure the baby was growing properly and to make sure they couldn't see any birth defects. This took place on Tuesday June 2nd, 09 @ 1:30p. The U/S Technician was super nice when we were in there. Heartbeat, 176. Measurements are right on track with my EDD. She did find a cyst on my left ovary which also looked like the one that got me pregnant is what she told me. She also said it should go away during/after the pregnancy but is going to keep an eye on it to make sure. Baby was very active during the U/S. DBF was funny because he asked if I could feel any of it, and of course I couldn't.
Following appointment was on Tuesday, June 23, 09 @ 10am. Peed in my cup like usual, weighed me and took my blood pressure. All was good. They went over everything with my U/S and said everything looked great. Got to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler finally, and spoke to the PA about my encounter with one of the Dr.'s I got to meet. DBF didn't want me to say anything but I couldn't hold it in, I was so annoyed by him. I felt much better getting it off of my chest.
Next appointment was on Tuesday, July 21, 09 @ 4:40pm. This was the latest appt. we had so far and I'll tell you I won't do another one that late ever again. This appointment was scheduled with the Dr. I got to meet previously that I didn't like. Well all I can say is I still don't like him because he was running late and at about 5pm we were let known that he was. A PA had to fill in for him and see us since he couldn't. I was annoyed because of him, but I was glad in away because I really liked the PA more. She let us hear the heartbeat, then asked us if we had any questions and we were out of there.
Wednesday, July 29, 09 @ 9:15am I had my first WIC appt. The ladies there were really nice. I'm glad I got accepted into the program. It's been a big help. I have my next one Later today actually to get my next 3 months of checks.
Monday, August 1, 09 @1pm we got to find out who our little bundle of joy was. It was a pain let me tell you. I'm glad we got there early because at first I went to the wrong place. My last U/S was at the same place I have my OB appointments, but for this one I was suppose to go to Radiology. Once we got to where we were suppose to be they called my name and here's where we had some issues. DBF and I wanted our mom's to be there for when we found out. Well my mom didn't like the fact that they all couldn't come back at first because they need to do all the scans they have to make sure everything is ok with the baby first before they do the Gender. DBF said she made a big fuss about it and his mom and him felt uncomfortable the way she took it. Oh well. Anyway after all the images needed were taken, She went out and got everyone to come back so we could find out who we are expecting. After awhile of looking around she couldn't get a perfect look because yet again baby was being very active and kept moving. She said she did get 2 good looks but before she could point it out baby would move. But she told us from what she saw she's calling GIRL. She said she saw no signs of any boy parts which if I could have taken a picture the face that DBF was making was priceless. He was hopping for a little boy so bad. It took him awhile to accept the fact, but now he's very happy about it, which makes me happy.
Appointment #6 was on Tuesday, August 25, 09 @ 9:20am. Same as usual, peed in my cup, got weighed, blood pressure was taken. Got to hear the heartbeat asked some questions about swelling and some discomfort breathing. Then went on our way.
Tuesday, September 22, 09 @ 9:15am. Peed in my cup, got weighed which I was shocked because I gained 8lbs from the last time I was there. I knew I had gained because I was feeling it but I didn't think I gained that much. But the PA didn't say anything when she came in and saw. She went over somethings she wanted me to start doing now that I was officially in the 3rd trimester at that point. She went over starting to keep track of a kick count, she wanted to make sure I was drinking more water, and eating right. She also wanted to set up for me to get blood work done which she said she wanted me to have done before I was 30 weeks. which I was 28 at that point. She wanted my Iron levels checked to make sure I wasn't anemic, and also to get my blood glucose test done to make sure I didn't develop Gestation Diabeties. She also said now my appointments were going to go from once a month to every 2 weeks.
Tuesday, October 6, 09 @ 11:45 am. This time I couldn't pee because I went before getting ready in the morning cause I couldn't hold it anymore. I got weighed which I was excited about because I lost 5lbs from the last time. I was worried I gained more because I have been eating allot more, but instead I lost some. The Dr. was concerned about it but then said since I started out over weight that if I gained no weight as long as I didn't lose any I would have been fine. But she kept asking me if I was eating or if I was sick which I wasn't sick and I was eating all the time, so I really have no idea how I could have lost weight. Especially 5lbs in the 2 weeks from my last appointment. Right after visiting with her, I went to the lab to get my blood work done. The Glucose one wasn't as bad as everyone I know has said it was. The stuff tasted pretty good except for because of how sugary it is, it did start to burn the back of my throat when I was trying to finish it. Then I sat there for an hour till they took my blood. I'm hoping that I pass it because I really don't want to have to go back and do the 3hr test. Sitting there for 1hr wasn't so bad, I read my magazine and by the time I knew it, it was time to get my blood drawn, but really to have to sit there for 3hrs is a bit of torture, you can do so many other better things in that 3hrs.
Next appointment is October 20th. I finally get to meet another Dr. other then the one I keep getting. I really hate how they don't have set Dr.'s. I would much rather get to know 1 then to meet someone new every appointment.
27W 5D Belly Pic
So far my pregnancy has been pretty easy except for a few things. I miss sleeping on my stomach, but with the help from my body pillow it has made sleeping on my side easier. Now that I'm further along it's starting to get harder to be on my feet all the time. They are always sore and my legs swell often. Also with my belly it's getting hard to move around because of how awkward I am now. And I thought I would be excited to be able to feel the baby move, but let me tell you I hate it. It's the weirdest feeling ever and I don't think I'll ever get used to it.
Also back on June 22nd, DBF and I celebrated our 8 year anniversary. Now only if he would propose to me. lol
Well on to a sad note and the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with, my Father passed away. August 22nd, 2009. I got the call around 7:30pm from the Dumore Police that they had found my father not breathing. It's been one of the hardest things I had to go through, especially right now. I will probably go into it more another day because thinking about that night right now is starting to make me want to cry and I don't really want to right this moment, because I'm afraid I won't stop. There's not a day that goes by where I don't think about him and I can't believe he's actually gone.

Not a day goes by where I'm not thinking of you. I wish you held on long enough just to see your Granddaughter but God had another plan for you. Your in a better place now. I love you.
Well I'm going to end this post here. I have one other thing we are dealing with right now that I will have to go over another day because it's allot to go over with the details. Hopefully I can keep up once again.

Relieved
Last night the bleeding stopped about 10:30-11pm. After talking to many people they said it was most likely from the pap test I had on Tuesday. Since I had no pain and it never got worse then it was they told me I shouldn't worry. I'm still going to call on Monday and see if I can get an apt. sooner then I had Scheduled just to make sure.

Scared
Well just now my worst fear happened. While I was at work I had to pee so I went like I always do and as I was just about to I noticed some spotting on my underwear, I thought ok IDK if that was there before. So after I peed low and behold when I went to wipe there was light fresh blood with some small clots on the toilet paper. I started to freak out. So here I am on the toilet with my phone talking to my 2 best friends in text who would know what to do and trying to calm me down.
I called the OB office and they told that if I wasn't bleeding like it was my period I should be fine that I need to lay down and just monitor the bleeding. I was freaking out because I was at work and I didn't want to let work know yet till at least my next Dr. Appt. Which wasn't till the end of next month. So after I get done talking with her I go with tears in my eyes explaining to my Store manager what's going on and that I need to leave. He was ok with it which I was worried he was going to give me problems because I was leaving so early since I just started my Shift at 3p.
I'm so scared and so is DBF. He keeps insisting on going to the ER but I want to wait it out like the Nurse said on the phone at the OB office. My one friend said that it was maybe from my Pap test they gave me on Tuesday, they did tell me I might have some spotting. But I figured if that were the case I would have experienced that by now and that the spotting would be brownish, not pinkish.
Please everyone keep my baby in your thoughts and pray that I'm not having a miscarriage IDK what I would do if I ended up having one.

First OB Appointment
Today I had my First Appointment for 9 am. It was my first initial visit first thing was to pee in a cup and get things going.
As soon as I checked in and made sure all my information was correct they Weighed me, took my blood pressure then made me pee in a cup. After that they took me to a room where DBF and I got to talk to one of the sweetest nurses. She asked us both everything and anything you could imagine about us and our families medical history. She also gave us some really good information pamphlets and answered any questions DBF and I had. I was most concerned about the meds I was taking for my back from when I hurt it this past October. I don't take them all the time anymore, I have only been taking them as needed but I didn't want to worry about taking them.
After talking with her I got to meet one of the PA's who was also so very nice. She had to give me a pap smear test and breast exam to make sure everything was good since it was a few years since I had my last one *embarrassed*. Once she was done with all that she went over to make sure what meds I could take and what I can't since she was able to look into it further then the nurse was able to. Once she got everything she needed she sent me to have blood work and I was on my way.
My next Apt is May 26th with one of the actual Dr's. I will get to meet each of them at one of my future appointments. Since not one specific Dr. will be delivering me they suggested I got to meet each of them. The PA told me that pretty much each Dr. is on call certain days. So Depending on what day I start to go into labor it depends on that Dr. duty that day and time. I'm a little nervous about that because I was hoping to only deal with a female just because guys in the practice have always creeped me out but DBF made a good point, he said that once that baby is coming your not going to care who delivers it because your just going to want it out of you.
So next Appointment is going to be the heartbeat and possibly an u/s. I can't wait. We are so excited.

So Far So Good
So far things have been going pretty well. Today is my Last day off from my little vacation. I'm glad I chose this weekend because it has been so gorgeous outside. Last time I took a few days off it was so crappy out because mother nature couldn't make up her mind. Right now it's about 90 degrees which my one friend told me it was, that was at 10am. Yesterday it was about 80, not too hot and with a nice breeze. I ended up opening all the windows in the house, which made all the kittehs excited.
We also had to get out the AC already for the bedroom because the first night of just sleeping with the windows open was not cutting it. We both woke up sweating during the night. So at night we have been sleeping with the AC on because it's just been so hot in there. I don't think it would be too bad if we had a bedroom in a normal area, but since our room is technically where an attic would be it's allot warmer up there especially in the summer. Also being that DBF and I aren't very small either we both can radiate allot of body heat, and I read the other day that now that my hormones are changing I will start to generate more my self. Oh joy.
On another note, the other day I found a new Due Date Calculator online when I was looking for more tickers to see if there were any cool and unique ones. This one was more involved, it asked when my last period was and how long my cycle was. Which sometime last year my cycle went from a normal 28 day one to a 30 day one. Which just from those 3 extra day's that pushed my Due date back to December 21st, which actually made me very happy because that gives me the possibility to deliver on the 22nd like I had hoped I would. It also told me in detail of when I was ovulating and we conceived, which was right when I knew I had to have.
My first unofficial apt is this Tuesday. Which I can't wait to get things going already so I can have my first official one where we can finally hear the heartbeat and then maybe get to see our little peanut for the first time. DBF told me yesterday he has a list of questions he wants to ask the Dr. when we finally see one. I asked him like what, and he told me that He wants to know how far along I'll be before we can know the sex of the baby. I told him that's easy, at 20 weeks is when we can find out. He looked so sad. He's worried its going to be a girl because he said he's going to be more worried if it's a girl. Then I said to him but if it's a boy you won't worry? Boys have the same risks as girls do so you have to worry just the same no matter what the sex is.
So aside from that things with me have been going pretty well. I haven't found anything that made me really sick yet, and I haven't had any morning sickness but that one day. I don't think that was really morning sickness I think that had to do with a smell that didn't agree with me. But since then things have been going great, although I hate that I want to eat everything in the house. I've been trying to eat moderately so I don't gain to much weight during the pregnancy, but sometimes the cravings for food win over my will power. I have been good tho with choosing what I eat , been eating allot of veggies or salads, fruits or yogurts. I've been trying to stay away from sweets but when I do have some it's in reasonable amounts. I have a bunch of candy I got after Easter that was on clearance before I knew I was pregnant, which I still have allot of it left. I'll eat 1 or 2 Russel Stover egg and I'll be good all day.
I have been getting into the habit of making healthy dinners. The other day I made a nice Pot Roast in the crock pot. It came out so tender. Then last night I made a nice Pesto Pasta. I had some cut up chicken left over from the beginning of the week when I made that white chicken chili dinner. I ended up frying it up with the garlic, onions, spices, and spinach then added the Pesto Sauce once it was done cooking. Served over Rigatoni noodles, it came out fantastic. On the other hand, I do now have a sink full of dishes that I need to do sometime today, which I will probably wait for DBF to get home from work and help me with them.
Well I'm going to get going, I want to enjoy my day and do nothing until DBF gets home. I think I might talk him into going to the Cherry Blossom Festival that was going on this weekend. It's going on until 7 tonight I think that would be nice to get out of the house for a little bit and enjoy the weather. Maybe go for a nice walk afterwards also since we never do that in less it's when we go to Francis Slocum our state park. In the summer we like to go hiking on the trails.
We also had to get out the AC already for the bedroom because the first night of just sleeping with the windows open was not cutting it. We both woke up sweating during the night. So at night we have been sleeping with the AC on because it's just been so hot in there. I don't think it would be too bad if we had a bedroom in a normal area, but since our room is technically where an attic would be it's allot warmer up there especially in the summer.

I asked him like what, and he told me that He wants to know how far along I'll be before we can know the sex of the baby. I told him that's easy, at 20 weeks is when we can find out. He looked so sad. He's worried its going to be a girl because he said he's going to be more worried if it's a girl. Then I said to him but if it's a boy you won't worry? Boys have the same risks as girls do so you have to worry just the same no matter what the sex is.
So aside from that things with me have been going pretty well. I haven't found anything that made me really sick yet, and I haven't had any morning sickness but that one day. I don't think that was really morning sickness I think that had to do with a smell that didn't agree with me. But since then things have been going great, although I hate that I want to eat everything in the house. I've been trying to eat moderately so I don't gain to much weight during the pregnancy, but sometimes the cravings for food win over my will power. I have been good tho with choosing what I eat , been eating allot of veggies or salads, fruits or yogurts. I've been trying to stay away from sweets but when I do have some it's in reasonable amounts. I have a bunch of candy I got after Easter that was on clearance before I knew I was pregnant, which I still have allot of it left. I'll eat 1 or 2 Russel Stover egg and I'll be good all day.
I have been getting into the habit of making healthy dinners. The other day I made a nice Pot Roast in the crock pot. It came out so tender. Then last night I made a nice Pesto Pasta. I had some cut up chicken left over from the beginning of the week when I made that white chicken chili dinner. I ended up frying it up with the garlic, onions, spices, and spinach then added the Pesto Sauce once it was done cooking. Served over Rigatoni noodles, it came out fantastic. On the other hand, I do now have a sink full of dishes that I need to do sometime today, which I will probably wait for DBF to get home from work and help me with them.
Well I'm going to get going, I want to enjoy my day and do nothing until DBF gets home. I think I might talk him into going to the Cherry Blossom Festival that was going on this weekend. It's going on until 7 tonight I think that would be nice to get out of the house for a little bit and enjoy the weather. Maybe go for a nice walk afterwards also since we never do that in less it's when we go to Francis Slocum our state park. In the summer we like to go hiking on the trails.

Someone had posted this on my Birth Board on Pregnancy.org I thought it was just too cute I had to share.

Day 4
Okay, here is how things are going so far since I found out.
So far so good except yesterday I ended up throwing up twice while I was at work. It wasn't fun. I was feeling great all morning but then all of a sudden it hit me when I was stocking some of the cosmetic totes over near the Deodorant. I guess there was a scent of something I didn't like and it made me sick. On top of that too I had Diarrhea. Yeah not fun either. I ended up having to leave work early because I had an accident. How embarrassing is it you have to tell your manager what just happened and you need to go home. Also none of management knows I'm pregnant yet because I'm waiting till I see a Dr. first and know how things are going so far.
He just said that there's a stomach bug going around and that's what I probably have. I just played off with that and I said yeah probably. I was glad he was okay with me leaving tho since we were already short a person because our main Cashier called off for the morning and it was a Sunday none the less. The girl who was opening in Cosmetics and I were going to do a half and half shift up at the main register since Photo was down so I didn't have anything to do. But while she was up there the manager wanted me to help out in cosmetics. So that's what I did and then I got sick.
When I got home I got cleaned up and then came on-line. I started talking to my one friend and she was asking how things were so far then asked if I found a Dr. yet. I told her no cause I was still waiting to hear back from my family Dr. She told me that it was the Hospital I want to deliver at that I needed to call to set up an appointment with. She gave me the number to call and what department I needed to talk to. I have an appointment Next Tuesday at 9am. Since they need to make sure I am really pregnant I need to go to a different place first which I have no idea where it is at exactly so DBF and I are going to have to leave early so we have time to find it.
After I got done talking with her I went to lay down for a little bit since all I seam to want to do is sleep. About an hour or 2 later I get up and make my self some soup since I didn't eat anything yet since I threw up. After I ate I felt a little better then looked around for awhile on-line at some parenting sites that I had bookmarked. about 4pm I get a text from my friend I was talking to earlier that she ran into my DBF at Target looking at baby stuff and how excited he is. That made me so happy when she told me that. Makes me feel good that even after all the bumps in the road we have dealt with that everything is going to be okay.
I'm still in shock about the whole thing and a little scared. I have always wanted to be a mom, but with how things are going in the world today it's a little scary when you think about it. I'm not worried about being a parent tho. I think we will be great parents but we have a long road ahead of us still before we are officially.
Well I have work tonight so I need to get ready in a little while, I'm glad I'm off tomorrow but I'm looking forward to it because we are going food Shopping. We have allot we need to get since when I was out of work because of my back we ended up living on the stockpile for awhile so now it's time to build up again. Plus I need to start eating better because I don't want to put on too much weight since I'm already considered over weight. I want to start having a day where I cook in advance so we aren't eating so much quick meals which are usually always high in sodium. Now is the time to get into the habit of eating better anyway because once the baby gets here there's going to be allot of things that we are going to have to sacrifice that we enjoy because we really don't want the baby to take after our horrible eating habits we have right now.

Bad Blogger with Happy News
Ok so I am way over due for a post. Allot of stuff has happened since my last one considering that was 6 months ago.
To give you a quick update since my last Post, I ended up hurting my back at work Late October. I was in allot of pain and plus with the med's I was on I didn't want to do anything. I didn't spend much time on the computer at all. I slept, watched TV, or knitted. My mom spent allot of time with me also as she could. I was out for 3 full months and it was nice to have that time off from work too. I really needed a break even tho I was out because of an injury.
As for the injury it self I found out I have 3 bulging disks in my lower lumbar but nothing to serious that I would need surgery. I have acute arthritis in my lower back also that has been there for years they said and as for what I did at work I tore a mussel in the lower left side of my back.
6 months later and I'm still in pain but I'm going to have to toughen up because what I'm about to announce makes up for all the pain I'm going to have to deal with since I can no longer take the med's I was on for my back anymore because they are unsafe.
But before I say my announcement, I also wanted to give a quick update on the Accident I witnessed back in August. I ended up having to Testify back in January to everything I saw that night. It was tough but I did it. I told them everything as I cried. I didn't want to have to re-live that night at all but I had to because it was very important to the case. I ended up being the main topic in the local papers the following day. Two of the girls who hit and ran are being charged with allot. I can't remember right now what they are, and other driver who did stay isn't getting hit as hard as the other two since she did stay.
Now for my Announcement:
April 16th 2009 I got home from work and took a little test. Here's what the results were.
I couldn't believe it. I had to ask two of my best friends if what I was seeing what was I thought I was seeing. They both said it defiantly looked like two lines but I should take a digital one to be sure. So that I did...
Two days later and I'm still in shock. We stop trying and finally we get a result. According to the calculator I found online my EDD is December 18th and the best thing about it all is DBF and I conceived on one of the four days we were off for his birthday.
DBF is super excited and him being excited makes me even more excited especially since I didn't know how he was going to take it. I was online talking to a few of my friends trying to figure out away I could tell him when he got home from work. For some background noise I ended up putting on John & Kate Plus 8 since it was the only thing that was really entertaining on at the time. DBF comes home and I quickly hide the tests so he can't see them. He goes and feeds the cats then takes his shower. As he gets out he's standing there talking to me while drying off about his day at work then one of the kids start crying on the TV. He looks at me and says I don't want kids. I start to giggle and ask him if he's sure. He goes yeah. I then asked if he was Positive and he goes Yeah. I start giggling more and I go well it's a little too late for that. He looks at me puzzled and goes wait are you pregnant? I smile and said yeah and hand him the digital test. He got all happy came over and gave me a kiss then called his mom to tell her.
So far everyone who knows is his mom, my dad and some of our friends. I'm waiting for Mothers Day to Surprise my mom with the news. I asked to have mothers day off so I could spend the day with her because I know shes going to be super emotional. She has been wanting to be a grandmother for a long time now even tho I just turned 25. I can't wait to see her face when I do tell her. I have a nice thing all planned out. Hopefully no one blows it and says something to her before then since I still have about a month till I say anything to her.
Well right now I'm getting sleepy and I have work in the morning so I'm going to go to bed. I'll Update some more tomorrow now that I have a reason to start posting again :D
