I can hardly believe my baby girl is out of diapers. Of course I've waited and longed for this day, but now that it has come, it almost makes me sad. I have found motherhood is full of mixed emotions. This is Mallory's 2nd week of potty training and it's going well, although we still have some things to work on.. like getting through the night and ( Read more... )

I can't believe this thing still exists !!! Well, I'm still working at the place I mentioned in my last entry and am still loving every minute of it. I still have a LOT to learn though, even being there for a year already. I swear a new situation walks in the door almost every day. I have a class coming up in July to help prepare me for a test to ( Read more... )

I totally forgot about this thing. Well it is now 2007 and my baby girl is almost 16 months old. Times sure flies. I  recently quit the job I was at for the last 4 years and started a new one doing the same thing with a much better commute. I really like it and Mallory seems to love school(daycare). She has gotten so big and is saying so many words ( Read more... )

wow, I had forgotten all the stuff I had written when I was pregnant. I'm so glad I did all that. Gosh at the time it felt like Mallory would never come out, but now she's already 2 months old. I started contractions on the 14th of January, ironically enough the same day my mother had past away. That's my life, everything is just so ironic. I ( Read more... )

7 more weeks to go and I am as anxious as ever. Mallory has been moving all around and my belly has gotten huge in the past month. It's so hard to get around now... getting up, rolling over, or just putting on my socks seems to knock the wind out of me. At this point I just want her out! We've finally decided that we're moving upstairs once our ( Read more... )

i had an appointment yesterday for blood work to check for diabetes. they gave me this bottle of orange stuff that i had to drink within 5 minutes and then i had to wait an hour for them to draw my blood. after i drank the orange stuff i started to feel the baby move... and usually i only feel a twich here and there, but she was moving all around. ( Read more... )

august 29th was the first time i felt the baby move. it feels like little tiny twiches... and it's just the best feeling ever. there's just nothing like it. i haven't noticed any kind of pattern, she just sort of makes herself known when she wants to i guess. some days i feel her more than others, and some not at all. i was reading in one of my ( Read more... )

i had an ultra sound last tuesday and we found out we're having a baby girl! i had known from day one that i was going to have a girl, but when the nurse told me it was the best thing i have ever heard and i couldn't help but to start crying because i was so happy. i would have been happy with a boy too, but i had always wanted my babies middle ( Read more... )

i've had a few more doctors appointments since my last entry. one of which mark and i heard and saw the babies heart beat. it was amazing to see the little black and white blur pumping on the ultra sound screen. and in just a few weeks, it looks like a baby now. i find out on august 9th if i am having a boy or a girl and i am so excited. every hour ( Read more... )

I had my ultra sound today after nearly pissing myself while having it done. They had me drink 32 ounces of water and told me to hold it for an hour and a half. I guess that's how they are able to see the baby... something to do with my bladder being full. It was not fun. But I got my first 2 pictures of the baby. THAT was amazing! The reality has ( Read more... )
