7 months old
Everything is going great though ! I am still exclusively breastfeeding Sydney which is great ! I love breastfeeeding it is such a special bond with your child that I will cherish forever. She still isnt liking solids that much.. she will eat a little bit but she really doesnt like the texture of mushy foods. but she loves to eat hard things like teething biscuits....
Blake and Sydney just have tons of fun together, it seems like he is the only person to make her laugh lol. I can tell the will be close growing up ! I will have to get some videos up of them playing together, it is pretty funny to watch. I will have to upload those tomorrow and get them on here. :)

My TTC and Pregnancy journey..
March 25 update : Well i am getting so nervous right now my period is due in 5 days or not due i hope. and i dont really feel like its coming i have had a bit of cramping and pinching pains, but usually i am in full blown pms by now. So i am just so nervous cos i want this so sooo bad. I have been praying so hard that i am pregnant. I have a backache that has started tonight but i dont know if its cos i was doing stuff out side all day or what. and i have been so gassy, not bloated just gassy.. Anyway those are my thoughts for today.. Wish me luck March 27 : Still dont feel like my period is coming . i am on CD 32 out of 35 so not too long to go now ! I am just sooo anxious to know. I feel sick today my back is killing me and i have a massive headache.. I am getting these weird pains their sharp like where my ovaries are and i just feel so sore nothing like my pms cramps.. its just different. I have been trying to just relax and let nature take its course and i dont want stress and make my period late when i am not pregnant. I really feel like this could be it, i am 8 or 9 dpo now ( or close to that i ran out of OPK during OV. ) but anyway wish me luck and please send me lots ans lots of baby dust !!!! Thanks for reading :) March 29 : Period due tomorrow and still no signs of it coming.. I took another test this morning and there was a faint line but i am worried it was just an evaporation line so i am not getting my hopes up yet. My husband seems to think I AM pregnant but he always saysthat so who knows...I am trying to do some spring cleaning today, and geting ready for a lady that is bringing her 10 month old daughter over to meet me and so she can see my house and everything cos she wants me to babysit her on tuesday and thursdays..i am just so nervouse cos i am afraid she wont like me.... But Blake is getting soo smart this morning he was trying to put on his socks all by himself and he almost succeded !! he just amazes me everyday. He is dancing right now watching Dora the explorer and watching the comercials.lol he is so adorable ! any way hope AF doesnt come tomorrow Wish me luck I think that my period is coming, i feel more crampy.. I'm so sad :( I have tried so hard to get pregnant and it hasnt happened yet..but period is definatley coming it will probably be here tonight or tomorrow :( April 2: Well period showed up on Friday :( It was lighter than usual and its already almost gone, so i am glad its not as horrible that it usually is..Well on to another month... April 19 : Got my positive Ovulation test this morning so i should be ovulating around tomorrow :) Now i wish my husband would come home for lunch * wink * wink * : ] I just really relaxed this month and didnt take any of my pills, but still using Pre-seed so hopefully it will happen I really really hope so !!! My cousin just had a miscariage at almost 8 weeks, and i can only imagine how hard that must be.. Please pray for us this month! April 24: 4DPO today nothing unusual..trying not to stress about it, but i just feel like it's not gonna happen :( but i hope it will.. 14 months we have been trying... I am not really breastfeeding anymore and I am fertile so its not the nursing that caused it. I just dont understand I am young and healthy why cant I get pregnant ? I try to talk to my dr. My she just thinks its nothing and they dont think I am very serious.. This is just rediculous, I want to get pregnant now !!! i dont want to wait another year to seee how things go I am tired of waiting I think I have waited long enough.. I hope I dont sound like a crazy person..;p April 30th :OMG I am pregnant !!!! Yes I took a first response test at noon today and It was positive !!! I just cant believe it ! I am sooooo excited !!!! 10dpo today... and i took a test at 8dpo with one of the tests i got with my pre seed and it was veeery faint but I wasnt just gonna rely on that and i have been taking internet cheapies the past few day and nothing and this morning I even took a dollar tree one but nothing much I thought I saw a line but not nearly as positive as my FRER !!! I am just in shock !! I honestly thought it wouldnt show up !! but it came up right away !! I am just soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Happy !!!!! :) May 1st : I have been soo tired. My 16 month old still sleeps in the bed with us and I am kinda getting worried cos this past week I have just been in a deep sleep and the other night I woke up and he was laying halfway off the bed !! and last night I woke up and he was sleeping at the foot of the bed.. how the heck did that happen ??lol I uasually wake up from the slightest movement.. I want to get him in his bed but I just dont know where to start.... I am just afraid I might roll right on top of him or something. May 2nd : Well definatley pregnant I am addicted to pregnancy tests and they just keep on getting darker :) So thats a very good sign :) Plus my morning sickness has kicked in :/ I havent puked yet but I definetly feel it especially in the morning and when I'm hungry.. I have been so emotional too, crying at everything.. and the day we found out that our house loan isnt going through was the day I found out I was pregnant... I was so sad and then I took a pregnancy tests and it really made my day !! Blake was laughing at me cos i was so excited and jumping and laughing and crying lol He is such a little sweetheart, I was crying today about the house stuff and he just looks at me so sypathetic and he wraps his arm around my neck and hugs me tight.. I was like awwwwwwww.. It was sooo sweet, it turned my sad tears into happy tears :) He has such a beautifull heart and I feel so Blessed right now, and I try to think that no matter where we live in wont matter as long as we are all together as a family. :) I just feel like the luckiest woman in the world right now :) May 5th : Well I had my appt. at my drs yesterday to confirm my pregnancy and She said because I have a longer cycle and Ovulate later then I willbe due early to mid january... but my officaial due date is january 4th 2008 !! I am 5 weeks and 1 day today. I made my first OB appointment for may 25th, i will be 8 weeks, hopefully I can hear the hearbeat by then :) I want to rent a doppler too so we can hear it all the time :) Morning sickness is getting worse everyday :( although today I havent had it yet :) also my back has been killing me and have had cramping.. it's really amazing how fast all the symptoms kick in..lol but I'll take every litt;le thing that comes ! :)
May 25: I am 8 weeks today but i have a 35 day cycle so I am more like 7 weeks.. and today was my first ob appt.. and she warned me that it would than likely be too early to hear the hertbeat and she was right...and my uterus was measuring 7 weeks, So she said my my next appt I will be able to hear it and I'll be 13 weeks and hopefully I can have an ultrasound then...I just cant wait to hear the heartbeat ! and with my last pregnancy I was border line of gestational Diabeties and it runs in my family realy bad . With my first pregnancy I gained 50lbs and have had a hard time getting that off becouse it was such a big change to my body SO I am starting off this pregnancy only 15lbs lighter than when I gave birth to my son 17 months ago YIKES !! So our goal is to only gain 15-20lbs this time... which I think should be no problem becouse all I want is helthy food during this pregnancy rather that Mcdonalds like my last ! June 4, 2007 Well today I am 9w 3d !!! I cant believe I am almost 10 weeks !! I still just sit here and just cant believe that I am pregnant lol.. then I get all giggley..hehe.. I am just so excited to add another member to our family.... right now we are having money troubles and we were trying to buy a house and we didnt get it due to some set backs in our money :( So we have 20 days to move out, and hopefully we can find somewhere to go.. but see we are going to buy my dads house on a land contract and we are waiting on them to move out.. sooooo I just really hope them get in gear soon, So we dont have to move all over town and it is very hard to find a decent place to rent that we can afford in this town... but we are very optimistic and we are just waitng..... but other than that everything is great, Blake is good, he's got a little cold right now and didnt get much sleep much last night.. he is always saying new words everyday !! it amazes me how smart he is, he understands things so well ! He is such a little sweetheart :) Oh and I have lost 15 pounds, i have been so sick.. i cant even eat everything just repulses me ugh.. but the 1 thing that i have been wanting all the time is Taco bells grilled chicken stuffed burrito with fire sauce !! I love spicy food, always have.. but with my first prenancy i just didnt want it... I wish i had some good southern home cooking like my grandma makes yum... i could use some cornbread and milk :) | |||
July 17 2007: Ok I havent updated in awhile so i figured I'd better... My last dr. apt was at 13 weeks and we finally heard the heart beat and it was 160bpm !! What a wonderful sound ! I recorded it on my phone so i always get to hear it !! My next appt is july 27th in 2 weeks and my gender U/S is on August 3rd !! I cant wait, I wanted to do it on the 27th but they wont do it till I am 18 weeks.. we are so convinced its a girl.. i am feeling little kicks here and there, i wish I could feel it more often though.. but that will come soon enough ! I am feeling much better now and morning sickness is pretty much completley gone, I only feel sick when I have an empty stomach,, oh and constipation is kicking my butt..lol It really sucks... and all I want to eat is steak,,, yeah something I cant have cos its not exactly cheap... i am having major food aversions to everything !! I have lost so much weight, but my belly is definatley sticking out ! i love it ! I went to get my hair done the other day and a stranger asked me when I was due for the first time !! i got so excited cos its the first time a stranger has noticed that i'm pregnant !! I bought a bunch of maternity shirts over the weekened too, i pretty much need them at this point... everything is good, the 2nd trimester is definatley the honeymoon stage :) | |||
August 13 Well I had my ultrasound on the 3rd and everything looked good, the baby was transverse, but the tech said it has plenty of time to move.. its legs were crossed so we couldnt find out the sex. the tech said she wanted to say girl but didnt get a very good look, so we arent convinced just yet... we are going to get a 3d scan done at the end of the month so we will hopefully find out then.... and last week mt son fell and we had to rush him to the emergency room because he hit his mout on the corner of the doorway and it ripped, so he had to have 11 stitches put in.. it was horrible, I hated watching him go through that.. it was really hard, but he is doing much better now and is healing up pretty good. | |||

August 27, 2007 We had our 3d ultrasound on saturday and we are having a GIRL !!! We are sooo excited ! She was so cute in there at the beginning of the scan she had one leg straight up by her head and the other one bent down, and right away she had her legs wide open ! So we saw everything there were definatley the 3 little white lines So there is NO DOUBT !! We have a name picked out but we decided to keep it a secret until she is born :) My Placenta is also Anterior ( in front ) So that explains why I havent been feeling as much movement as I did with my son at this time, and she is still transverse but she has time to move positions still :) |

Lake delton lake gone
Homes Wash Away In Wis. As Midwest Rivers Swell
Homes Wash Away In Wis. As Midwest Rivers Swell With Runoff; East Sweats Out Heat Wave
LAKE DELTON, Wis., Jun. 9, 2008
(AP) An embankment along a man-made lake gave way under severe flooding Monday, unleashing a powerful current that ripped several homes off their foundations and down the Wisconsin River.
Floodwater threatened dams across the Midwest, and military crews joined desperate sandbagging operations to hold back Indiana streams surging toward record levels. Stormy weekend weather was blamed for 10 deaths, most in the Midwest.
While the Midwest struggled with flooding, the East was locked in a sauna. Heat advisories were posted Monday from the Carolinas to Connecticut, with temperatures topping 100 from Georgia to Virginia. New York City recorded a high of 99.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Monday it would close a 250-mile stretch of the Mississippi River _ from Fulton, Ill., to Clarksville, Mo. _ as soon as Thursday because of flooding, bringing barge traffic to a halt.
The closure could last up to two weeks, corps spokesman Ron Fournier said.
In Wisconsin, an embankment forming the side of the man-made Lake Delton failed, and the water poured out into the nearby Wisconsin River. The 245-acre lake nearly emptied, washing out part of a highway, sweeping away three homes and tearing apart two others.
"It's horrible. There's no way we could stop it," said Thomas Diehl, a Lake Delton village trustee. "The breach is between 300 and 400 feet wide. The volume (of water) was just so great there wasn't anything anyone could do."
Don Kubenik, 68, burst into tears Monday after seeing the $500,000, 2,800-square foot home he built in 2003 snapped into pieces. The businessman from suburban Milwaukee said he spent every weekend here.
"That house had everything you can imagine and now it's all gone," Kubenik said. "My boat's gone. The pier's gone. Everything is gone."
A couple thousand people in Columbia County about 30 miles north of Madison were urged to evacuate below the Wyocena and Pardeeville dams, said Pat Beghin, a spokesman for the county's emergency management.
The Wyocena Dam's spillway had washed out, and workers were sandbagging to try to save it, Beghin said. The Pardeeville dam also was overflowing, he said.
A new storm system was headed toward the Ohio Valley from the southern Plains on Monday _ Oklahoma got up to 6 inches of rain by late morning and utilities reported nearly 5,000 customers blacked out _ and the National Weather Service said as much as 3 inches of rain could fall on already waterlogged Indiana late Monday.
The weather service posted a tornado warning for south-central Illinois and a severe thunderstorm warning for Indiana.
Some 200 Indiana National Guard members and 140 Marines and sailors joined local emergency agencies Monday in sandbagging a levee of the White River at Elnora, about 100 miles southwest of Indianapolis. The White River was forecast to crest Tuesday at nearby Newberry at 16 feet above flood stage.
By Monday morning, flooding at eight sites in central and southern Indiana had eclipsed levels set in the deluge of March 1913, which had been considered Indiana's greatest flood in modern times, said Scott Morlock, a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Indiana.
President Bush late Sunday declared a major disaster in 29 Indiana counties. Iowa Gov. Chet Culver said nearly a third of his state's 99 counties need federal help. Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle had declared 30 counties in a state of emergency.
The Danville River Dam in Danville overtopped on Monday, and more than 100 people were from an apartment complex, condo building and several homes with airboats, mayor Nancy Osterhaus said.
In Ontario, Wis., the Kickapoo River left waist-high water on the village's baseball diamond Sunday and backed up sewers, forcing water up through manhole covers.
Bill Hagerman, 53, vacuumed mud out of his business, Precision Physical Therapy, where sewer water about a 1 1/2 feet deep hadcoated his weight machines and patient table with muck.
"I got hit hard," he said. "Yesterday afternoon, it seemed to rain all afternoon, hard. It just seemed like forever."
Along the East Coast, people sweltered through the heat wave.
In the fifth inning of the Kansas City Royals-Yankees game in New York, fans cheered loudly when a cloud moved in front of the sun, then booed moments later when the sun returned.
"We came to New York and the whole week is hotter than in Florida," Patti Yost, 47, of Spring Hill, Fla., said at Yankee Stadium.
The heat also wore down tourists in Washington. "We're going to get back on the Metro and go to the hotel and get into the pool," Jeanne Ringel of Redondo Beach, Calif., said outside the Smithsonian's Freer Gallery of Art.
New York City opened 300 cooling centers Monday, said Office of Emergency Management spokesman Chris Gilbride. District of Columbia officials declared Monday and Tuesday Code Red days for poor air quality, and schools in parts of New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland closed early as classrooms heated up. Employees at the Ohio Department of Health got the day off because of trouble with the air conditioning in their building.
In New Jersey, a fire at an electrical switching station in West Orange knocked out power to about 75,000 customers of Public Service Electric & Gas for hours Monday.
The weekend death toll included six in Michigan, two in Indiana and one each in Iowa and Connecticut.
