How the weekend turned out

he weekend turned out pretty good. Randy and Idid some packing. Its actually sad that we are moving. This was our first home together. This is where our child was concieved. I may just be hormonal too. Tina spend most of the weekend with my sister, then they came over on Sunday and spend the night. Tina and I made my famous peanutbutter bars. She loves those. She ate one and asked if she could have three more. If you dont know my daughter, she doenst eat much. She is a small child only weighs 37 pounds. I am not sure why she is so small, might be her energy level. That girl can run! It might be my HG. I dont know. Today, I think I am going to pack some of our bedroom. There is alot of stuff we are not using that could be packed. Tina wants to help, I think I am going to let her help. She is really excited about moving. I think its only because she wants a dog. Everywhere we ever lived we were not allowed to have a pet. Now that we can she is very excited. So I guess just like everyday, I am very lucky. I have a beautiful daughter, a man that loves me, and a baby that is healthy growing inside of me.

Good days and bad days

Once again I cant sleep. I am not sure why. I do know one thing though, not getting sleep is making me sick. This is the first time I have been in days. Randy has been working 12 hour shifts. I really haven't spent much time with him. Hopefully this weekend we get to spend some quality time together. We have alot to celebrate. We are moving soon and we found out what the baby is. I hope he is as excited as I am. Well I may try to sleep.

I cannot sleep

Its three in the morning and guess what? I cant sleep. Randy has been working alot of overtime and I have found that without him I dont sleep as well. Plus the peeing thing never ends. I am constantly thirsty. I know your body needs more water during pregnancy but this is crazy. So I will probably drink a whole glass of water, go to sleep and have to pee really bad when I wake up. Oh well.

We close on the house today. I am so glad the closing part is almost over. It was a pain. I dont think I will ever use the credit union for a loan.Well I am going to try to sleep now. I keep yawning.

Closing on the house /19 weeks

We are closing on the house in three days. We were nice and we are giving the people we are buying the house from 20 days to get into their new home. So we should be moved in by the 15th or so. 547 Litttleton is our new address. Make sure you come by and check it out. I have to get Tina registered with the school. So there is lots to do in the next few weeks. I will post new pictures as I get them. I want to put one of us in front of our new house.

19 Weeks! I am getting there!

Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and he measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the length of a small zucchini. His arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of his body now. His kidneys continue to make urine, and the hair on his scalp is sprouting. This is a crucial time for sensory development: Your baby's brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. If your baby is a girl, she has an astonishing 6 million eggs in her ovaries. They'll dwindle to fewer than two million by the time she's born. www.babycenter.com
Next Thursday I find out the sex of the baby so make sure you check in so you can know.

To more weeks

Alot is going to happen in the next month. I am going back to work. We are closing on our house ,we find out the sex of our baby and Tina starts school. I guess things cant get anymore stressful. Randy has been working so hard to make sure we close on the house on time. I mean he is killing himself in overtime. Which makes me feel bad. I really wish I wouldnt have gotten sick. Well nothing I can do about it now. All I can do is go back to work and help. Christina is getting really excited. She cant wait for everything to start happening. Jeff is suspose to visit her the end of this month. Hopefully for her sake he does. Well I am tired now, I am going back to bed. I hope I am able to sleep better soon. I havent been able to.

I am defintly feeling the baby move

I am definitely feeling the baby move. The flutters are getting to be more often. Last night when I was at that class the baby was fluttering the whole time. It was like it was reminding me that this time I got it right. I am finally having a baby with someone to loves me, and stands besides me. I wont have to worry about Randy loving the child. I can tell he already has a deep emotional connection with it already. All my life I have never been able to trust the men in my life, now I finally am with someone I would trust with my life. I also have a good environment for my children. Randy and I don't argue, or fight. We talk things out. I dont think there is a problem we cant get through. Everyday I think about how lucky I am. In two weeks we find out what the baby is, I cant wait. I wonder if its my Corbin or my Avanelle? Either way this child is loved.

Today and yesterday

Today I have to go to Peace classes, its a class about how to help your children after your divorce. I personally think what would help my child is for her father to grow up. I dont think that is ever going to happen. He hasn't taken his classes and is hoping to get out of them. I really hope they don't let him. For once he needs to shell out some money for this divorce. I have paid for a lawyer and I am going to have to pay the filling fees and court costs. I think its time for Jeff to throw some money at this. I really hope to never go through this again. Hopefully this whole thing is over soon. I am ready to fully move on with my life.

Yesterday Brittney had her baby. I did not get to go see it. I have a headache that wont stop. She had it at noon. I heard she looks just like Brittney first child. She has curly brown hair. I want to go see her today. I will take a pic and post it on here. Brittney told me labor was easier the second time. I am hoping for that too. I am also hoping for a bigger baby. 5 pounds is not very big. Well thats it for today. I hope whoever actually reads this has a great day.

18 weeks

I have been feeling better. I havent gotten sick in days. Its wonderful to be able to eat again. I wont ever take it for granted agan. I am getting a little belly. I think it makes things a little more real for Randy. Remember he is the first time parent, I have a five year old. I did it all and went to high school. I would say I am pretty experianced. So if you give advice, give it to Randy. I have done the whole thing once before I know whats going on.

I found out early this morning that my cousin Brittney's water broke. I figured since its her second she should be done pretty soon. Probably by 6 I would say. I cant wait to see her new little girl.

We are suspose to close on the new house by the 26th we will see if that happens. I hope it does then after the move I am going back to work. I guess I am the kind of person who is independent and needs something of my own. I dont know how those stay at home moms do it. You need sometime away from your child once in a while. Its actually not healthy to be around them all the time. I am glad I have my own car and my own life away from Randy and Tina. Everyone needs that. I remember when I did not have that. I was a very depressed person. I am a better mom when I am working and I have that break.

Sunday we went to the beach. It was fun. Tina is learning how to swim and she was so cute. I will have the pictures up when I remember to get the camera out of Randy's car. My daughter is getting so big. Next month, she will be going to school. She is so excited. I am too.

How your baby's growing: 18 weeks

Head to bottom, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a large sweet potato) and she weighs almost 7 ounces. She's busy flexing her arms and legs — movements that you'll likely start noticing more and more. Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin and her ears are now in position and stand out from her head. Myelin (a protective covering) is beginning to form around her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after she's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and Fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If your baby is a boy, his genitals are noticeable, though he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.

Little better

I am finally feeling a little better. I am hardly vomiting. Hopefully this is the light at the end of the tunnel for my HG. I am ready to get big and fat. I didn't get to do that with Tina. I am ready for the rest of my pregnancy. Hopefully I can go shopping soon. Right now I cant stand for long periods of time cause I get dizzy. Other than the HG I have a very healthy pregnancy. After this part with Tina I only had to get an inversion cause she was breech, and then I was induced. The end was simple. I am ready to be a mommy again.

17 weeks

How Big is the Baby at 17 Weeks Pregnant?
Your baby is anywhere from 4.4 to 4.8 inches by pregnancy week 17 and weighs almost 3 ½ ounces! If you were to hold your baby at 17 weeks pregnant, she would fit snuggly in the palm of your hand. Your baby is about the size of a small pomegranate by pregnancy 17 weeks. http://www.womenshealthcaretopics.com/pregnancy_week_17.htm

Christina was such a big girl yesterday! She had to get three shots and she did not even shed a tear. I guess she is not afraid of needles yet. I know I am. I am so proud of her. I am so lucky to have such a smart brave little girl. No more shots til 7th grade now. I hope that takes a long time.

Kindergarten shots

Today my daughter is getting her kindergarten shots. I really dont want her to get them. I remember when she was a baby and she cried, it broke my heart to take her. Well it has to be done. I wish I could slow Tina down sometimes, make her my small little baby again. I know that is impossible. I remember when she was born, she was so tiny only 5 pounds. I couldnt quit looking at her, she was the most beautiful little girl I ever seen. Now she is 5! Still beautiful. I guess I have to come to accept that my first born is growing up. Doesnt mean I have to like it. On another note I am feeling really sick again. I guess I should start taking my meds again. I cant keep any food down again. I feel weak.I cant wait til this is over. I want to feed my baby! Its so frusterating. Well I am off to get ready for this appointment with Tina.

Off and on

My nausa is like an every other day thing. I eat like a baby. imgine the worst flu you ever had, thats kind of like how I feel every other day. I eat things like pudding, Jello, watermelon, and soups. I drink lots of liquids when I can. The only good thing about being 17 weeks is that I can feel the little flutters. I wish Randy could feel it. Its amazing to feel your baby move its my favorite part about being pregnant. I still dont look pregnant. I look very skinny. My arms and my legs are very thin. I feel a difference in how my belly feels though. Randy doesnt get what I mean, but I can tell there is something going on in there. We find out what we are having Aug 2nd. He is very excited. Christina cant wait. She has already told me that I will have to be sick one more time to give her the the brother and sister she wants. I told her we will see. I love children its really not fair that I have such a hard time having them. ( Jeff has not talked to his daughter since he left) Christina also wants her last name to change when mine does. I told her to ask her father. I know he would never allow that, but it lets him know how important Randy is in her life. He is her father figure she looks up to him. I think thats a good thing. I dont think anyone should look up to Jeff. I want my daughter to end up with a good man someday, not a man that does not know what he wants and is unfaithful and dishonest. Thats her father in a nutshell. Well I am off to bed I am not feeling so well today I guess maybe sometimes its two days in a row.ausa is like a every other day thing

Friday

Its just another day, my nausa seems to be getting a little better. Christina is home from my moms house. She is so excited about going to school and getting a dog soon. I am not so excited about the school thing. I know she has to go but I dont want her to grow up. It seems like yesterday, she was my baby. I used to hold her and do my homework for school. Now she is 5 and she doesnt need me as much. Oh her father did not call her yesterday either. I figure I better record that.Well I am off to eat something.

Fourth of July/ having a niece

My Fourth of July wasn't great. I really could not go to the fair, so my mom took Tina. Randy and I stayed home and watched tv together. It was a pretty boring night. Randy went to bed early for work and I stayed up and watched tv til I fell asleep. I was hoping Tina would call when she got back from the fair but she didn't.

Randy and I are so excited about moving. It is truely our dream house. It has Randys garage, my beautiful kitchen,and my window seat. We thought about getting married there if the timing works out. The timing is going to be perfect for decorating the nursery. I will find out August what I am having then I can figure out what ocean theme to use. I have several in mind. I figured that even when the room changes to a play room the ocean wallpaper will still work. Hopefully I can get back to work soon, so I can start replacing some of our hand-me- down furniture. I figured we would replace it with income taxes. Our room defiantly needs new furniture.

I also found out yesterday that my brothers girlfriend, who is a month ahead of me is going to have a little girl. I am going to have a niece. I am so excited. Its going to be nice to have a child around the same time as him, they can grow up together. I cant wait til the baby shower. I still haven't even met her. My mom is now hoping I am having a boy, she wants at least one grand son. I want a boy too. I already have a little girl.

We have a house

We finally found the house we are going to start our married life in. Its in Fairpark. We are so excited. We got the news last night that our bid was accepted. I never seen Randy so happy. We cant wait to decorate the nursery. Fairpark is a good area for kids. I spend a good part of my childhood in that area. Its also across the street from my work. I think that will make breastfeeding alot easier for Randy and I. It has a garage, a huge master bedroom. 2 regular size bedrooms and a small room that is connected to the master that I am making into the nursery. It also has beautiful french doors and a widow seat. The kitchen is beautiful too. So today we start the closing process. I will try to post pics on here so everyone can see our beautiful new home.
