My 2nd Pregnancy Journal!!! Finally!!

[dawsmi]

So I just found out that I am pregnant with our second baby!!! We are so excited!!! We have been trying to have a second baby for over 2 years with 3 misscariages and a lot of heartache! Now it is finally happening for us!! I found out that I am pregnant on June 24th and I have my first Doctors appointment tonight (July 2nd) at 5pm!! I can't wait!! I will let you know what happens!! If I figured it out right then I should be due March 4th 2009 which makes me around 5 weeks pregnant!! I am already farther along then with the others!!! I also don't really care what we are having as long as it is healthy and happy!! We already have a 3 year old little girl named Jessica and she is the light of our lives!! She has brought nothing but joy to our lives and I can't wait to bring another baby into our family!!! I will keep you posted!!!

Oh, Im so happy for you.

I can't wait to try for our 2nd child, but this time I am going to PLAN IT!!!

:)

Tell us about your appointment! I love hearing ALL about the pregnancy stuff. Everything. I feel like I have read every pregnancy book there is, so although I am young, I sure know about childbirth. :)

[dawsmi]

Thank you for all the congrats!! It means a lot to hear that there is so much support for the baby!!!!
Well as promised I have some more info!! I went to my first doctors appointment yesterday and found out that I am Due on march 4th 2009!! I am 5 weeks which doesn't seem like much but for me that is really good!!! I have 2 ultrasounds booked already! 1 for when I am 8 weeks and another when I am 12 weeks!! I am sure there will be more but these are the first 2!! I went and got my first set of blood work done today and have to go back in 2 weeks and get another set done!! I was also put on progesterone to help keep the baby!! I didn't realize how expensive this stuff was until I went last night to pick it up!! It was $67 for 2 weeks worth! She wants me on it for 9 weeks!! OUCH!! LOL!! Anyway, I also have my second doctors appointment booked for a week after my first ultrasound!! It was a very eventful doctors appointment!! I am thinking that by my next doctors appointment (or maybe even my ultrasound) I should be able to hear its heart beat!! I can't wait because then I know everything is going to be okay!! That will be a huge milestone for us!! It will be really nice just to know that it is okay!! And at this point I don't care what we have as long as it is healthy!! Honestly though, I would really like a boy because then I have one of each!! I do have a feeling that it will be a boy anyway though because by this time when I was pregnant with my daughter I was dealing with a bad case of morning sickness! So far with this one I have nothing so keep your fingers crossed that it stays that way because morning sickness sucks!! LOL!! Anyway, I think that is it for now! I will keep you all posted as things progress and I get more info!!!

[dawsmi]

I thought I would post a picture of my 3 year old daughter!! I will post ultrasound pics and such when I get them but I don't want to leave her out!!
Her name is Jessica Lynn Blondeau and she is my wonderful 3 year old!!

Congrats!!!!

[tawni8806]

That is so exciting. I am glad there is an update, I came back to check.

I wish you the best of luck, I'd love to hear everything here in your pregnancy journal. I bet your husband is elated. Have you told your beautiful daughter or family yet?

What does everyone think?!?! Are you already thinking of names?

[snowflakebride]

Congratulations!!! Glad to hear everything's going well so far. Keep us posted!

[dawsmi]

I have told most of my family and everyone is reluctant in feeling happy for us!! They have all seen what I have gone through in the past and don't want to see any of it happen again!! Don't get me wrong they are all excited!! But they usually wait to get too excited!! I haven't started thinking of baby names as of yet! I usually wait till it comes to me out of the blue like it did with my daughter!! It is almost like they are telling me what they want their name to be!! I have my first ultrasound in 2 weeks so I will keep everyone posted!!! I can't wait!!

[alli816]

Great to hear all went well with your visit and many great visits to come....Congratulations again....:D

[dawsmi]

So my computer has been broken for the last week so I have been without it and completely lost! LOL!! But I am so glad to finally have it back so I can catch up on everything!! I don't have too much to report since my last post!! I get a call from the doctor about my first set of blood tests! She said that everything is looking perfect with my levels so far and she will wait till gets my second set back to see if they are doubling!! Very Good news!! I went in today for my second set of blood tests so it is just a waiting game now! Hopefully I will get a phone call from her early next week!! If I don't hear from her over the phone, I have my ultrasound on the 22nd so I will know everything is okay then!! I can't wait! There is less then 6 days left till I get to see that little baby or babies to see if it is okay!! I will definately keep you posted! I may have a picture to post too! We will see how things go!! I can't believe that I am 7 weeks already! Time is sure flying!!!

[rainbowtreat]

Congrats on the baby. It does go by fast. I am sure everything will be just fine with that baby.

[dawsmi]

So I had my doctors appointment today and everything went really well!! She said that all my blood tests look awesome and the ultrasound looks perfect!! She said that by my next appointment we will be able to hear the babies heartbeat!! I can't wait!! I have an ultrasound in 3 weeks and then my appointment in 4 weeks!! It is so exciting!! She prescribed me with some medication to help with my morning sickness and put me on some new prenatal vitamins that are less harsh then the materna ones!! I can't wait to finally be feeling better again!! I hate not being able to function until the afternoon!! Everything is looking good though!! I am officially 9 weeks today!! It is such a big milestone for us!! Everything is finally looking up for us!!! YAY!!

[alli816]

Dawn, great to hear your appointment went well and you and baby are doing well.....

[bichonlvr]

Great news!!!!

[Nekochanpurr]

I'm so glad everything is going well!!

[dawsmi]

So I thought that I would post a picture of my baby in the ultrasound!! This is at 8 weeks! I am now 9 weeks! I go for another one on August 22! I can't wait to be able to hear its heartbeat and to see the baby!!

[StarCoveter]

I am so excited for you! I will definitely be keeping up with your journal to see how beautiful your baby becomes! You should post pictures of your pregnant belly when you start to show :)

[Hope75]

Congrats on your pregnancy. I can see how excited you are and that's wonderful.:D

Hoping you have a happy and healthy 9 months!

[70707Bride]

Woohoo! Congrats! Everyone around me is either having a baby or has a baby. Its making me have baby fever and that sucks! Lol. The earliest we will try is June '09. I'm going to FL at the end of May with my sister's high school chorus.

[dawsmi]

So I know that I haven't posted anything in a while but not a lot has happened!! I am 12 weeks tomorrow and very excited!! I have my second ultrasound on Friday!! I can't wait to be able to see my baby and know that it is ok!! I will be able to hear it's heartbeat then too!! I am getting very anxious!! Thank you for all the support you have given me so far!! I know that I have a long way to go but it means a lot to know that there are people here for me!! I haven't heard from my mom since she was here last and it has been a while!! She doesn't seem all that excited for us at all and it is a little depressing!! But I know that I have a lot of others that love and support us and are extremely excited for us!! I truly does make up for it!! I will keep you all updated as to what happens on Friday and I will post pictures! I swear I have felt this little baby move already!! It is a really good feeling!! Anyway, talk to you soon!!

[Danielle9608]

Good luck on Friday!

[WBandMe]

I can't believe I haven't seen this thread yet--CONGRATULATIONS!!! Btw, Jessica is a beautiful little girl!

[dawsmi]

So I had an amazing ultrasound appointment on Friday!! I went in expecting to see what I have seen in all the other ultrasounds and I was pleasantly surprised!! I saw the baby!! It was amazing!! It was moving and stretching and really active!! It has a heartbeat of 174bpm and was absolutely beautiful!! I have another ultrasound booked already for when I am 20 weeks!! It is October 16th!! I can't wait!! But for now I am looking forward to going to my doctors appointment on Thursday!! I will be able to listen to the baby's heartbeat with the doppler!! That will be amazing!! Here is a picture of my beautiful baby at 12 weeks!!
