It finaly happened, after eleven long months of trying to get pregnant
it happens. We thought at first that something was wrong with one of us. That really had me scared, my whole life all I ever wanted to do was have kids
and now the thought of it not happening really depressed me. Now that it has happend I would love to share my joy with
you and the rest of the world.
Month One
It's two am and I have a awful headach, I can't sleep and I feel very sick, so I wake up my fiancee (Long)
and tell him that I don't feel good. "You might have the flu" he says and I agree. I take a couple tylonals
and slowly fall back asleep. I awake the next morning feeling worse than the night before, I spend half the day in the bathroom
playing hide and seek with the toilet bowl (not fun). Around 4 in the afternoon I feel better and decide to take a walk down to the walk-in clinic.
I go in and see the doctor. I thought I had the flu so I asked him if he can give me a flu shot or something. He tells me
he like to check out a few thing first. After telling him everything I could about how I was feeling he ask's "Could you be pregnant?"
I told him that we had been trying really hard but so far no luck. The doctor has me pee in a steril cup
and tells me to come by sometime the next day. I can tell you this I went home one nervous girl thats for sure. I was thrilled
that the doctor thought I was pregnant but at the same time I didn't want to get my hopes up. The next day I go back to the clinic
a nervous wreck. It's a different doctor and when he calls me in my hand are sweating big time.
The doctor looks at my chart then looks up at me and says "Your pregnancy test turned out positive" A second later I started to bawl like a baby. Thoes were the best
words that I had herd in a long time. We figured out that I was four and a half weeks pregnant. I was so happy.
Month Two
Morning sickness was really bad. I kept nothing down and spent most of the day throwing up. We met our Ob/Gyn
for the first time-A really nice woman (Dr. Cha). On our first visit I had to have lots of blood work and an internal.
I had no problem with the internal (being a women I was used to them) It was the blood work that freaked me out. Dr. Cha's
nurse took seven viles of blood out of me and then had the nerve to ask me to pee in a cup.
(I have forgiven the nurse since then). I found it really hard to shower and where a bra because my breasts
were very tender, they hurt to the touch and it was annoying.
Month Three
The headachs and morning sickness are really bad. I have no idea how much longer I can take
running to the bathroom all the time. The only thing that I can keep down is soup that my Pepere (my grandfather)
makes me. The doctor has subscribed some pills that are supposed to help the morning sickness they are called
Diclectin, they cost me $48.43 ans they don't even work. (What a waste of money). At this appointment the doctor gave me the
results from all the tests the month before-Everything is normale and so far is looking good. I have lost a few pounds but she isn't
worried cause it is more than likely caused from the morning sickness. Dr. Cha asked me if I have been constipated, I proudly answer no.
Hopefully I wont be.
Month Four
Major things have changed this month, and it's all for the better. My morning sickness has stopped and I can now eat a full breakfast and not have to wory about
getting to the bathroom on time. I was laying on the couch when I felt this little bubble in my belly, I though it was a hunger pain except I wasn't hungry. I felt it again and again all threwout the day,
it felt like little bubbles popping. At the doctors she confirmed that it was infact the baby moveing. It was really neat. Dr. Cha sends us down for an ultrasound. We asked
her if we will be able to tell the sex of the baby and she said it all depends on his/her postion. Well let me tell you this-seeing our baby for the first time moveing around on that screen
was a great experiance and we did find out the sex-I am carrying a baby boy. We are haveing a son. My belly is starting to show, Thank god I don't have any streach marks yet. I think I can do without thoes.
Month Five
This me at 5 months
Ohh no, streach marks have come and they better go fast. Why me? I was so sure that I wasn't going to get any. Yahh right. Long and I have started talking to my belly. We have even named him-Logan.
Long picked out that name and it's not that bad. It's alot better than Long Jr. That for sure ha ha ha ha. I had some cramps and I also noticed that I was bleeding a bit.
I was so freaked out. The visit to the doctors calmed me down though. The spotting was normale and I have nothing to worry about. We are constantly talking to my belly, I really show and people are
notacing it. You know people treat you so differently when they see that you are pregnant, I love it. Logan moves around alot and his kicks are getting really strong. I think
he knows what we are saying to him and I really feel bonded with him already.
Month Six
Logan kicks so much and so hard all the time, he got me really good in the ribs and it really hurt. I think he is going to be a
kick boxer or something. I love watching him when he moves cause my belly goes into all these wierd shapes. It's hard for me to sleep at night because I am gettig up all the time to go
to the bathroom, it feels like he is sitting right on-top of my bladder, it's also hard to get into a good
sleeping position cause I have always slept on my belly and now for obvious reasons I can't do it anymore. My back is always hurting plus I have bleeding gums- it gets very annoying to brush
my teeth and then spit out blood. So gross. I have streach marks everywhere and they are getting worse. They are purple and I wish that they would just go away.
I have also started to leak colostrum (pre-milk) the doctor says that it is a good sign that it is comeing early and it also shows that my body is able to produce
milk for the baby. I had to have a glucose test at this months appointment. I had to fast for 12 hours and then I had to drink this gross orange stuff, four viles of blood were taken from me. (It hurt) I will find out the results at next months appointment. I sing to Logan everynight and I am always talking to him. I did it in the grocery store and I got some funny looks from some people. Just imagine what I must have looked like
standing in the produce section asking my belly if I should get iceburg or romain lettuce. You had to be there I guess.
Month Seven
This is me at seven months along
Here I am in the beginning of my 7th month, I'm tired of being pregnant-I wish that people would stop touching me and giving me unwanted advice, I was at the mall the other day in the food section and I was drinking a pepsi, this woman comes to my table and says to me "You do know that drinking pop is bad for your baby, you should be ashamed of yourself". I was so pissed, who made her god? It's not like I was sitting there smoking a joint and
guzzling down beer. So I drank some pepsi-big deal. I did tell the woman to mind her own damn business though. I am still mad over that whole thing. Another time I was on the escalater and this woman started rubbing my belly and telling me that I should talk to it all the time so that the baby will know my voice. Since when has my body become public property eh? Just cause I am pregnant is doesn't give ANYONE the right to touch me and tell me what I should and
should not be doing. A bit of advice to thoes who read this, "When you see a pregnant woman try to refrain from touching and giving advice-We know that we are pregnant we don't need to be told
day after day the same thing over and over. If your advice is wanted it will be asked for" I hope I don't sound mean or anything but it's true. Pregnancy is supposed to be a happy joyfull time, but now I just want it to be over with
so that people will just leave me alone!...My doctors appointment went well, I have gained 24 pounds in total, thats a whole lotta weight for someone who was less than 100 lbs before pregnancy
We heard Logans heatrbeat and it is so strong and loud. Dr. Cha had a hard time finding it for us though because Logan kept moving around and kicking, but when
he finally sat still long enough for us to listen it was really great!
Return soon for an update! Hello everyone this is Chantal, I did have my Logan, 3 weeks early, PLease visit him at Logan's Place!!
