10-11 week appointment

I had my 2nd dr's appointment today.. 

We got to hear the baby's heartbeat and the kids were with us this time! 

The heartbeat was a good 160 even! 

She told me that if I were to deliver on a day she wasn't on call, for me not to let anyone boss me around and for me to stand up for myself and let the dr's know what I want and what Im going to do! 

That gave me a boost of confidence that I can do this all natural this time..

After the appointment, we went and got the kid's new car seats they are now both in 5 point harnesses which make us happy parents..

Today we also bought an intelligender... 

here's the results...

 Pretty sure its a boy result.. I just have a feeling its a boy and so does Shane!

Tomorrow we go to get a new vehicle! 

Im pretty excited! I hope everything goes as planned! its an awesome vehicle AND has room for all of us! 

10 Weeks 4 days

Im 10 weeks 4 days.. 

feels like this is starting to drag by, which is good.

This is our last and I want to enjoy this pregnancy.

I had my High Risk Ob appointment last Tuesday and it went great!

They knocked my shots down from 100mg twice a day to 40mg once a day!

He said that he was very surprised at the fact the doctors never sent me to a hematologist when it all happened.

I had to take a blood test that test the highest 3 causes of blood clots which are things like blood disorders and things.. I haven't heard back on the results so today the Ob office will be getting a phone call when they open back up... haha!

I have my 2nd Regular Ob appointment tomorrow!

Ill get to hear the babies heart beat! 

Im going to go get an intellegender today and take it probably Sunday when I turn exactly 11 weeks.

Sickness is gone, I can eat finally and thats always nice haha!
Last night Christian couldn't sleep so me and Shane were talking to him about the baby and he said that the baby was his baby brother and he put his ear to my belly and started laughing hard and said "My little brother farted!" 

Christian and Lainey have opened my eyes up and made me realize that even though im only 23 and that sometimes I look back and miss the days I used to go out with friends and things, spending the day with my kids and husband means a lot more.

I was vacuuming and the kids always come running wherever they are and jump on the couch and scream and I chase them (Im just vacuuming the big rug lol ) but they make me laugh and nothing else matters. 

Im one lucky person to be blessed with the babies I have..

9 weeks and counting

Today I am 9 weeks.

Seems like this pregnancy is taking forever, which in a way is a good thing since this will be our last.

Meat is still making me sick, and food cravings are a bit odd!

My high risk appointment is this tuesday and Im hoping ill be able to hear the babies heart beat.

Also, on the 28th I see my regular Ob/Midwife.

Ive been taking these shots for almost a month, and my stomach looks like someone really hauled off and kicked me a bunch of times in my stomach.

Im going tomorrow to get my blood drawn so that my results are ready for the appointment on Tuesday.

Honestly sometimes I forget that Im pregnant, I know that sounds bad.

It just seems like a dream to be honest.

I have a feeling this baby is a boy, but ive been wrong with every single baby.

Honestly days have been dragging by.. It seems like they are flying in real time, but then I look at the calender on my phone for the pregnancy, and its only been 2 days.

I found a girl name I really like and it honors both of mine and Shanes families.

-Isabella Annamarie-

Ann is a name that is on my side, my moms name is LoriAnn, her mothers name is Joann, and my Dad's moms name is Ann.  Marie is a name that is on Shane's side, his mom's name is Rose Marie and his family has it as a middle name too.

Annabella Marie isnt something that we are dead set on though.

Shane is stuck on the boys name as Kameron, but Im not a fan of it though.

We bought a 100,001 baby name book when I found out I was pregnant with Christian, and used it for Delainey also, its somewhere packed away and I cant find it..

The kids have been home a whole week since they stopped daycare and even though its something to really get used to after being on a routine for 8 months, im enjoying it.

We made cookies yesterday and read books.

Our friends Maggie and David came over yesterday and they brought Zane and Zoey,

We made Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans and potato salad for me.

Me and Maggie even ended up buying a birthday cake from the store for a sweet desert.

The kids were worn out and had so much fun!



Rescheduled my High Risk Appointment, it is now set for next tuesday.

Cant wait to find out what they have to say!

A lot has been going on here at our house lately. Me and my husband both started another semester today, we just found out that we have to pull our kids out of the daycare they are in. Its a bittersweet moment. I hate that we have to pull them out of a daycare they have been going to for 8 months, and they have grown so much in that daycare. They are used to the daily routines and when we pick them up they are excited and full of stories about how their days went and what they did with their friends. It breaks my heart because I watched my little boy come out of his shy shell and become such an outgoing social boy because of that daycare, I watched my daughter learn to walk when I had people telling me there was something wrong, I watched her learn how to use words because of that daycare, shes learned how to become social and thats something I personally couldnt give them right now because of not really knowing many people here. I told Christian that he was going to stay home with me from now on and he looked at me and said  "but mom, I was a good boy at school" we've explained to him that it has nothing to do with him and that were going to play and have fun and do fun things together now. Tomorrow we go to tell the daycare our final decision and gather their things and tell their friends bye and tell the teachers at the daycare goodbye. I have met some really awesome and loving people at that daycare that made me know that no matter what, my kids were always in good hands when they were at that daycare. I know its going to be hard that me and Shane are both full time students that are taking complete online classes this semester which is the next 5 months, Shane works full time, and Im pregnant. One thing I know is that my kids come first, but that my schooling is very much important to me as well, it will be hard to balance it all but my kids will have lots of fun here with me.

8 weeks

Im actually 8 weeks 2 days today. I was suppose to have my doctors appointment with 2 High Risk OB's but since the snow, the places were cancelled and I didnt want to take the kids out in the weather even though Shane was going too. Im showing symptoms of being tired ALL the time, im a little crampy and food just makes me sick to my stomach. Meat makes me sick really. Just the word makes me sick to my stomach. I will make something and go to eat it and start gagging, throw it away and Shane will try something else, then I will go to eat it and gag, with the other pregnancies, I at least got to eat, it might not have stayed down, but i did feel like I at least ate something and I felt like I got some nutrients off what I ate. This pregnancy is so different than my others. Other than the normal stuff, Im still on my shots twice a day. They arent hurting as much going in now as they were, I guess my skin is getting used to it, but however the burn from the actual medicine, that has not gone down AT ALL! I hate the brusies it gives me and how tender my stomach gets. Tomorrow If the roads are clear we have to go to the school, then I have to get my blood drawn 4 hours after the shots. We've been thinking of names but cant come up wtih something that seems like "THATS IT!" we have plenty of time though.

First Dr's Appointment

Yesterday was not only a day I got to spend with my family and enjoy the last day of 2010, I also had my first prenatal appointment. We dropped the kids off at daycare, and rushed to the appointment. The doctor I was going to see never even came into the room, I saw another dr's nurse and saw a completely different doctor that was actually a midwife, she was nice, went over my medical history, asked me some questions, after doing my check up, she then did a ultrasound to see how far along I was exactly, I believed I was around 10 weeks and after measuring the baby, she told me I was 6 weeks 5 days. That blew my mind, since I had a positive pregnancy test for almost 3 weeks... We got to see the baby's heartbeat and that put a lot of uneasiness to rest. I was put back on my blood thinner shots and I go back a week later which will be this coming Friday to do blood work to see what my levels are on and then Monday the midwife will be calling me with an appointment to see 2 High risk Ob's sometime soon to talk about my pregnancy. It really upset me that I set up an appointment with the doctor I wanted to see, that went through both of my deliveries and was there from day one when I found out about my blood clots.. It just seemed like I wasn't important and that really upset me. I really liked the midwife though, she explained everything, made sure that I didnt have any questions about anything and that I knew exactly what was going to happen.. I started my shots again tonight will make my 3rd shot and its not what I remember, its worse. I knew injecting myself twice a day would stink, but I dont remember it burning as bad as it does or hurting for as long as it does now. I guess It will take my skin a little to toughen up and get used to them. Im just happy that the baby is doing okay. I was an overall good day and a good appointment.
