Updating my posts/ 37 weeks pregnant and 38 too!!!

And the roller coaster begins again at 37 weeks. I got all of my test results back from the doctor. Thankfully I am not anemic anymore but I did test positive for Group Strep B. Which means I have to hall booty to the hospital when my water breaks so I can get antibiotics for the baby. I had my last ultrasound and Donny was there. He missed the first one because he caught the stomach flu and I was really pissed off about that. I was mad because Olivia got sick too but she recovered for the ultrasound. I was so happy that he was there and got to see his little girl too which wasn't another missed memory. So we were in the room and Olivia was with us and started to get a little hyper. It seemed as if Donny was missing bits a peices because his attention was toward Olivia. So I said a little prayer, "please God let Olivia fall asleep so Donny doesn't miss this ultrasound." And like 5 minutes later she says, "mommy tell Sofia that I went to sleep." I didn't see her face and the ultrasound tech says...oh look she took a nap. I was amazed that she fell asleep so fast because she never does that. She said Sofia is head down, healthy, very small, in the 29th percentile and she will be around 6 pounds like Olivia. And then she took a few 3D pictures which we were not expecting at all because of our insurance. Plus we had Olivia at the same hospital and didn't get one of her. BUT HERE SHE IS:












I think she looks like Olivia plus Donny and I.

38 weeks pregnant I had a false alarm this morning. I thought my water broke but I peed my pants which has never happened before. So I freaked out because my doctor told me as soon as your water breaks get to the hispital right away because of the infection. Affter all was well we took Olivia to her last dance class of the season before the recital which is next week as well as my due date. So tonight before I go to bed I have to finish Sofia's bows for a pink hat and for her little leggings. I will post pictures later.

And lastly, I had another appointmetnt today after the hospital. I am 1cm dialated and shes head down. If she doesn't come by the due date, the 15th of May, he will induce me on the 18th or 19th.

And those are all my updates... THE END!!!

36 weeks pregnant

36 Weeks Pregnant
This week I went to the doctors and had to get an exam for strep b. He said the baby was head down but still a little high. I have to take a blood test this week to see if I’m still anemic. And he ordered another ultrasound to see how big the baby will be. The ultrasound is scheduled for Monday and today is Wednesday. I called Monday to get in later in the week but they are always booked. I hope the person that does the ultrasound is different than the first one. The other lady was horrible and she didn’t say much. I’ve got my bags packed and the diaper bag packed because I’ve been having a lot of pressure. I’m always in pain and I’ve been having contractions lately. I’ve been cleaning like a mad women making sure that everything is cleaned and in order. Tonight after dinner Olivia and I opened the bottles and cleaned them as well as the pacifiers. I can’t wait to see what this little girl is going to look like. I hope she is a calm baby because the transition will run smoothly because my hubby is getting called back to work. We’ve had a very hard two years and everything is finally going to go back to normal. I got the phone call that I was waiting for, for Olivia to attend this awesome preschool. We have a meeting next week and if she is approved they tell us the same day. We have to go out to celebrate because we have had a horrible two years of a lot of downs. We’ve tried to keep things normal for her but when you have practically no money it’s hard to do things for her. Thank God we signed her up for dance class. I think that’s given her a piece of normality. She’s around other little girls and she can laugh, have fun, and be social. She got to take dance pictures which made her feel really special. She gets to do things that other little girls get to do. I once told her that she is very lucky to be able to go to dance class and that I was happy for her. I’ve sacrificed so much so she can have normal things. I think in the process I’ve let myself go a bit. Only because I didn’t have money to get my hair done, my nails done, and even get a pair of new glasses. But she continued to stay in dance and kept her little activity that made her feel special. I wouldn’t change my decision for anything. I found new ways to have new things. I remember a time in my life when I wouldn’t dare go to a thrift store to buy my clothes. But I’m not the only one in this situation. Many people are struggling because of the economy so you have to make smarter choices and learn how to save every penny. Everything that I bought was from the same places that I shopped at in the mall. One shopping trip I made in the suburbs I bought like seven named brand shirts for twenty dollars.
And it seems silly to create another child when we didn’t much money. But I knew we would be okay in the end. Having another child was a big fight for the hubby and I. My biggest reason for having another child was because that’s what we planned before we got married. Also I wasn’t having one child and leaving that child lonely. This is a big dream of mine for me and Olivia. I’m excited that another baby that my husband and I created is growing in my stomach. This little girl means the world to me as well as her sister. Their father is going back to work and everything is falling into its place. I love my family they mean everything to me. Even though my husband and I went through some really bad times in the past two years I stuck by him. For better or worse are the words we promised each other. Everyday wasn’t hell on earth and we have so many happy memories to create with each other. I’m looking forward to the birth of our second child. A big move into a better place to live for our family and the baby’s first Christmas. There are so many happy times we are going to share and I can’t wait for them all.

The shower came and went/ 33 weeks pregnant

Well the shower came and went. I’m glad the shower is over because it was a little stressful and I guess a lot of people were annoyed with me for having a second shower. I just wanted to celebrate the birth of my second baby with close friends and family. I’m very happy to have this little girl and I thought having a baby was a joyous occasion. But oh well, the reason why I had another shower was because my mother-in-law and sister-in-law gave it to me this time instead of my family. I’m happy I have these memories because it meant a lot to me that they would want to do something like that. I’m also happy that my aunt took pictures of the shower because no one else did it for me. I’m hurt because anytime anyone has a celebration I’ve always been the one to take pictures so each memory wasn’t missed out on being photographed. But never again will I do that for anyone. I will take pictures of my kids because no one has ever felt the need to return the gesture for me. That may sound bitchy but I don’t care. I just don’t want to be around fake people anymore. I just plan on staying away from people for a while and I’m not going be social right now.
The next day of the shower which is today was an eventful day. Olivia and I were sick all day with fevers so we had to make a trip to the ER to make sure Olivia and the baby were okay. We have been coughing and blowing our noses all day which really sucks for a three year old and a pregnant lady. Tomorrow I will be 33 weeks pregnant and I have never been in hospital this much ever in my life. I’m supposed to rest but there are so many things to get done. And we have so much to buy that we didn’t get from the shower. We need bottles, a diaper genie, breast pump accessories, pacifiers, a crib mattress, a car seat and stroller. And that’s just for her arrival so I’m a little stressed because we have six weeks left. Two of my favorite gifts from the shower was her little bathtub and bouncer that my cousins Debra and Nichole gave me. We did get lots of clothes and diapers. I kept all of Olivia’s burp cloths thank God because I think it’s gross when a baby pukes and a mother doesn’t have something other than a bib to clean it up. Olivia was always clean and didn’t smell like baby puke. I take pride in cleaning my baby and making sure her hair is neat. I just need to make sure I’m a cute mommy and not let myself go because I’ve
