Frank, I have my own little knome at home!!



Richie told me to post this picture for you Frank and tell everyone Happy Holidays from him. We were doing a little last minute Christmas shopping and he saw this cone thing and couldn't help himself. I thought it was pretty funny. We have been so busy trying to get christmas gifts wrapped and some shipped to my family in Texas and I made some homemade chocolate hazelnut truffles and cranberry cinnamon almond granola for our bible study and let me tell you.. I won't be doing that again! I love to cook and bake, but I just haven't felt that great the last few months and I didn't really have the energy to do all that, but it's Christmas.. ya know! Anyways, now I can rest a little.. hopefully!

Here are a couple of pictures that Richie took of me tonight. Now, forgive the no makeup and my night attire, but I thought I would get a couple of pictures on here. I'm finally starting to look pregnant. I'm not sure how much I have gained, if any so far, but I will know on the 22nd. Hope ya'll are have a great holiday season!!

Feeling a little better.

Category: My life | Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 8:42 pm

Well, I just thought I would write a little bit and thank ya'll all for the kind words and prayers while I was in the hospital. I haven't thrown up since I have gotten home and I am finally starting to gain a little weight. 5 pounds, but it is better than nothing. I am still pretty tired and weak and the places where they had the IVs are still really sore! Anyways, I did have a ultrasound on Thursday and they said it kind of looked like a boy, but it was still early to tell yet, so I will have another scan on Dec,22nd to make sure the baby is growing and healthy. So hopefully they can tell if it is indeed another boy or a girl. Thanks for being patient with me and my blog and comment posting. At the end of the day after chasing Trey, I'm pretty wiped out. My mom doed keep me updated on the Stew's daily activities though so I'm not completely left out! Here is a picture of the ultrasound they did on Thursday. Take care ya'll!

Heard a heartbeat yesterday, so I feel a lot better

Category: My life | Posted: Fri Nov 24, 2006 7:33 am

The baby was moving around in there and kept kicking the little probe thing that they use to listen to the heartbeat with. The heart rate was 165 and very strong. So I feel better about everything. The dr. told me some new meds to try to get the sickness under control and if I am not doing better in 4 weeks and haven't gained any weight, I have to go to a stomach doctor. So hopefully it goes away soon. I will have lots of snow pictures coming up in the next few days for ya'll. The high on Monday is going to be 6 degrees...yeah, I said 6 degrees! That isn't including the wind chill...so I will take the pictures very fast!!! I hope ya'll all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I sure did miss my family in Texas. We always have lots of food at my Mama's house and we just pretty much had the basics here, so I can't complain. Take care until next time! Thank you all for the comments and encouraging thoughts!! Love ya'll all very much!!

Well,this baby is not showing me any mercy!!

I am still really sick with morning sickness and have lost a lot of weight. I put on a maternity outfit that my mom sent to me and Richie almost started crying, saying how terrible I looked. Now, any other time I would have been very ticked off and told him what I thought, but I know what he meant. I have felt so bad for so long..I sleep all the time it seems. I can't sleep any at night because I'm either gagging or throwing up all night. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow so I'm going to tell the doctor he has to do something, or I will change doctors. I can't live like this anymore. I did however feel the baby move about a week ago. It was at 4am and I had finally fell asleep and was laying on my side with a pillow tucked under my stomach and I guess I was crowding the baby and it kicked really hard..just one time. I just laughed and rolled over on the other side. Sometimes I think I fell it move, but I have been having these horrible nightmares that it has died, so I'm afraid to think it is moving until tomorrow when I hear it's heartbeat. I know I sound paranoid, but it seems like all the women I know from our bible study have all had miscarriages with their 2nd babies. I know of at least 5 girls that have had that happen. So, I will feel a lot better after my appointment tomorrow. I will have another ultrasound on Dec,7th so that will make me feel even better to see it. This just hasn't been our month. On top of the morning sickness, I picked up a really bad cold and am on antibiotics. Then of course poor Mr. Trey got that from me and he has been on antibiotics for that and then today, he woke up and went to Richie's parent's house and has throw up 6 times today. We have no clue what is making him throw up, but Richie's dad is throwing up too. So we have gotten hit with sickness pretty bad this month. Hopefully December will be a lot better!! Just thought I would let ya'll know how come I haven't been on that much lately. I do try to read everyone's comments,blogs and the forums. I miss ya'll and hopefully will feel better soon. I am going to start taking pregnancy pictures of my belly here pretty soon. That way we can all see how fat I get!! :)

Doctor's Appointment today

Category: My life | Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 7:22 am

---

Well, the doctor changed my due date to May,2nd. So I was off by 3 weeks. So I am around 11 weeks pregnant. I will be 12 weeks along on the 19th. The doctor also told me the reason for my bleeding was because I have a condition called placenta previa. It is where the placenta,the organ that "feeds" the baby through the umbilical cord, has formed close to or covering the cervix, where the baby comes out. It can cause hemorrhaging in later pregancy and preterm labor. But he didn't seem alarmed by this news because he said it was still early enough for the baby to grow more and the placenta to move upward and not cause a problem. So I won't worry until he does. If it doesn't change, I will have to have a c-section and since I was already going to have a repeat c-section..it's ok. I got to hear the heartbeat today and it was 150 and very strong. The little booger kept moving, so they had to chase it down to get the heartrate. So I will go back to the doctor in 5 weeks to check on things. So that is all I know today. It's getting colder here, and should be snowing here pretty soon. So I will post pictures of the snow when it falls and hopefully we can get some good pics of Trey in the leaves when some more fall on the ground. Take care!

Well...here is the results of the ultrasound

Category: My life | Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2006 5:33 am

Well, the baby is just fine! It was floating around in there and kicking it's self off the side of my uterus and twirling around in there, having the time of it's little life, while I have been worried to death!! It is very healthy and it was too early to see if it is a boy or girl. The ultrasound tech said it was measuring at 11 weeks and 2 days, but I have that I am about 8 weeks, so I will ask the doctor tomorrow what the deal is. So either the due date is May,2nd or May,20th. But I just thought I would share the picture of the ultrasound for ya'll to see.

Talked to the doctor today

Category: My life | Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2006 2:47 am

I called the doctor again today and he took me off of bed rest and told me that if I had a miscarriage right now, he couldn't stop it cause I'm only 8 weeks along. But he doesn't think I had a miscarriage, but he want to do a ultrasound on Thursday to check things out and then I see him on Friday, unless some shows up on the ultrasound, then I will see him then right then. So I will let everyone know what happens and thank you so much for all the comments and prayers. Keep them coming!

The baby and I need your prayers...

Category: My life | Posted: Sun Oct 08, 2006 6:29 am

I woke up today feeling like I have felt for the last few weeks, but today was very different. When I woke up, I started bleeding..which when you are pregnant..isn't good at all, especially early in pregnancy. So I called the doctor on call and she told me to lay down and take it easy, because if I was having a miscarriage..there wasn't anything they could do to stop it. So, I have been laying on the couch and in bed and praying. As long as I am laying down, the bleeding slows or stops. I was still bleeding earlier this evening and so I called the doctor again and she said to keep doing what I was doing...so here I lay on the couch with Richie's laptop. I have to call my dr. on Monday and get into see him then. I already had a appointment to see him on Friday, so maybe I can get in earlier to have a ultrasound to see if the baby is ok. I really hope I don't have to stay on bedrest for 7 more months..that would be awful! But if that will save the baby... I will do it. So, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers and I will update ya'll as soon as I can.

I got lots of cool things for my birthday!!!

Category: My life | Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2006 7:11 am

Wow! Richie woke up early and took Trey and let me sleep in and then we went out to his parent's house and he cooked me a dinner which was steaks, fresh mashed potatoes, and cauliflower with cheese on it. Then the presents were opened. Now, last year, we didn't do too much because we didn't really have the money to and all I asked for this year was the Grey's Anatomy 2nd season DVD. So when I opened my gifts, I was shocked! Richie got me the Grey's DVD, plus the complete first season of CSI and a Sims 2 video game for my computer. Then I thought that was all, but his parents really got me! They got me a new Handycam video camcorder, plus a bag to carry it in and memory card and the CDs that go with it!!! I was so shocked Plus they gave me money to order this ice cream that is made in Texas and I can't get it up here and since I have been pregnant, I have been craving it so first thing tomorrow, I'm ordering me some ice cream!! As soon as I figure out how to use the new camera I will post some pictures I have taken on it. It takes still pictures as well as being a video camera!! I really appreciate all the warm birthday wishes for ya'll. It really means a lot to me! Next blog with be about my doctor's visit for the baby. Hopefully we can hear the heartbeat!

I had to have IV fluids yesterday..

Category: My life | Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2006 6:13 am

---

Well, I hadn't bee able to eat and keep any foods down for 4 days and I got really dehydrated and my OB/GYN doctor sent me to the hospital to have IV fluids,vitamins and anti-nausea meds. I still feel pretty yucky, but at least I haven't thrown up since yesterday, so that is a good sign. I have been getting a lot of rest because my anti-nausea meds make me really sleepy and Richie has been working from home trying to help me out with Trey. Hopefully this stage of the pregnancy goes away at the least the 3 month mark. So, hopefully I will get some pictures of my roses before the snow starts. It didn't snow over the weekend, thank goodness, so maybe when I feel better I can get some pics.
