Little side note

I changed to a Christmas theme background - If you cannot tell I am way too into the Christmas mood this year - So much so that I am listening to Christmas music - I am sure this is annoying since it is not even technically winter until December sometime... Oh well

Its growing....

Today I am 15 weeks and growing - It seems that every morning when I wake up my belly is bigger - which only makes sense but it feels like one day last week I woke up and it was just there!! So I decided to share my belly with you all. It looks weird to me but I am happy so say that most of the weight has gone straight to the front of my belly but the rest has gone to my expanding rear too - not so good. I have only gained about 5-6 lbs so far but I am sure that will change with the holidays...

So now that its starting to calm down

After all the excitement that has happened this week, I am finally coming down from panic mode. I am not so worried about what is going on with myself but I believe that it is my blood pressure. I did get a random bloody nose one day last week but I read that can happen to women who are pregnant due to increase blood flow (or something with respiratory tract lining receiving more blood). This is all still foreign to me...

But the point of this post is to again speak of how I feel about my baby. I was so nervous in the E.R. worrying about the baby... I just wanted to be told everything was okay and that we could both come home. But I could not deny how weird it was to lose my eye sight and to go numb on my hand and cheek.

But I do want to share that I was so nervous and crying in the E.R. begging Heavenly Father to allow my baby to be okay. When I first found out I was pregnant, I was scared and unsure! Since I of course do not believe in abortion and hate every form of it - I knew I was going to have this baby. It was hard for me to accept and be happy about right away, I knew at least 3 other people who deserved a baby before me and I was fighting with a lot of different emotions. I knew better and I know I will have to own up for my mistake someday. But as I was first introduced to my baby via the inital ultrasound, I have fallen in love with the baby. He/she has completely changed my life - Everything I do now is for my baby. I have never had these kinds of feeling and emotions.

Okay so I am done for now! I feel bad and apologize that this is becoming my online journal - But I do not get to see most of you at all and I want you all to know me.

Very Grateful today

Yesterday at about 4 o'clock, I sat down at my computer to finish placing an order and to my surprise, all of the sudden, I lost partial eye sight. I started to get a headache following that so I shut my computer off and the lights to my office and sat there until I could drive. So I went to my sister's house and decided to lay down and take a nap - I had NO energy and I felt like I was in a hase. Well a few minutes after I lay on the couch, My left hand went numb and so did the left side of my face. That all went away in a matter of ten minutes.

So today I called the OB and my regular Doctor and they made me go to the ER I got looked at and so did the baby. Everything is okay but the Doctors have no idea what happened. STRANGE... But a good thing that came from this- While awaiting the results from my CT scan of the head - A separate Doctor came in and said that he was training another Doctor who was going to Africa and asked if he could do an ultra sound... umm HECK YES So he did and I got to see the baby again... The picture is of my baby sucking his thumb... Now I say his because the Doctor thinks he saw a boy part - But I am only about 14.5 weeks so he said Dont Quote me on it... But yay for seeing my baby. He said everything is okay and developing as it should be. He also has a very strong and solid heartbeat...

During this whole ordeal I kept saying OVER AND OVER Please don't let anything be wrong with my baby - And in the end I got a very special gift from Heavenly Father in the form of a Doctor going to Africa....

All I have to say is .... I LOVE MY BABY
