update!!!

Sorry it has been so long since I have been on here to update. We lost our internet...
   I made it to 37 weeks befor I was induced due to pre eclampsia.
   I went in for my 37 week appt and my bp was high so they sent me over to the hospital to be monitored for 4 hours. Well my bp spiked to 190/120 so my ob decieded to induce me. Induction started at 9pm and my water was broke at 2am at 1 cm dialated. I was put on magnesium and potosiun to kick start labor. I waited untill I was 5 cm to get my epidural and I ended up on oxygen due to not being able to breath and an hour later my epi was in place.  Long story short my beautifull little girl was born July 6th @ 5:56pm. She was 5lbs 12 oz and 18.5 in long. She is perfect.
   I ended up being hospitlized 4 days after her birth due to heart failure caused by the pre eclampsia.. I am on blood pressure meds and am getting better slowly but surely.I have posted her newborn pics she is going on 4 weeks old now and I can't imagine my life without her in it!!
  I was told no more children so she is it for T and myself...
    Sorry if I worried anyone i just have been sick or busy to update but all is getting better now:)

I am glad to see everyone else's gorgeous babies and conrats to you all!!

my 27 week belly

I am for one not a tiny lesbo so I am proud to show off my rounded tummy but only from my view for the time being lmaoo...

27 weeks

WOW already!! Almost to my 3rd trimester and it is starting to feel all to real lmao.. I know it should of been already but with Kaylyn moving more and being able to feel it on the outside now it makes it more real... I am becoming very uncomfortable and have noticed where I am short of breath with simple tasks like making the bed or changing the sheets... I have also noticed that I can't bend the way I used to and that my boobs are becoming huge!! ( which my dw is not complaining about) but she can only look not touch because they have started to get hard and are very sore... Next week is my rhogam shot and more bloodwork and my 28 week appt then I move up to seeing him every 2 weeks untill I am 36 weeks.. I can't believe it already almost to the point of every 2 week appts... wow.. My baby shower is on the 5th and I do not have any expectations for it I am just hoping it goes well and smoothly lol.. other then that everything is well. Found out today that T gets a week on in July (unpaid) for 4th of July which adds more stress since I am not working at the moment... Gahh a baby and a week with no pay fun fun... Well off to finish my 27 th and final week of 2nd trimester. Hope everyone has a good week:)

26 weeks

Already!!! I can't believe 14 more weeks till we meet our little girl!! I am so excited and nervous at the same time. All the big questions run through your mind... Are we ready for this? Will I be a good mother? Will I be the mother I hope to be? Can I handle the birth? I guess all normal questions of first time parents... I don't go back to the Dr untill the 4th of May and then my baby shower is the 5th of May... This month winding down will be busy!!!! By the time my dr appt comes I will be entered into my 3rd trimester... Ohhh already. I am feeling fine besides the stretching pains and the back ache at the end of the day... The pic I am posting is the view of my belly from my point of view lol I hope everyone has a good week.

just some thoughts!!

So I went on a hunt looking for 2 mom baby memory books and well yes,  I found them but they were almost 80 bucks for a book when you can go to local walmart and pay 20 bucks for one?? Why are things like this so expensive?? I know that T and I are not the only same sex family bringing a child into this world?
   I get so irritated from being asked who I slept with to get pregnant? Do people not realize that there are other methods to getting pregnant besides insert PENIS into vag?? It kinda is a slap in the face for people to assume that I would lower my morals to get pregnant?!
   We have been looking into me taking T's last name that way all 3 of us have the same name and well living in Tn it can be rather difficult for me to take her last name once the explanation has been given to the judge of why I want it? So right now we are just going to name our daughter with her last name and after we move states I will take T's last name...
  You would think being 2012 that we would be a lot further in the fight for equality and it feels as if some states are making progress and some countries but other's are still stuck in the stone age..
    I love when people tell me I chose to be a lesbian! Yes, I chose to be discriminated against for who I love. I chose to be a " second class citizen", I chose to have to explain to my children why there are poeple out there that hate our life style... For me being a lesbian isn't a life style is MY life... I live it everyday.... I hate going to the OBGYN and he calls my wife my friend becuase he refuses to see that we can love each other and be good parents as two women!!
   Ok those are my rants for the day... Just got to thinking and I really need to get more involved in the non-gay community in Tn!!

25 weeks

wow only 15 more weeks to go!! I can't wait to meet our little princess!! THe meds the Dr. gave me made me feel 100% better thank goodness!!! I am showing more and more daily and it is kinda scarey!!
   Side note sex is not what I want it to be, apparently my vajj doesn't work anymore or just doesn't feel like participating in activities anymore!!! story of my life... other then that everything is going well.. Stil feel underprepared for this baby and feel like we have so many more things to get for it.. I am having a baby shower in May so maybe I feel a little more releaved when everything is said and done. I hope everyone else is odoing well...
   BTW Kaylyn is moving more and more and I have noticed that she is a night mover so I know that means that I will have plenty of sleepless nights ahead before her big arrival... I also am becoming more and more uncomfortable when trying to sleep....Gahh 15 weeks feels like forever but it does just feel like yeserday when we found out. Sorry for the spelling I am a bit tired... WEll off to bed I go hope everoyone enjoys their week:)

24 weeks

Well I am 24 weeks and 4 days.. Just got done taking meds for a respitory infection fun fun.... My next ob appointment isnt untill May 4th and I have to do my glucose check, have my rh- shot given, have blood drawn for ANOTHER  HIV test??!! and have blood drawn for my iron levels... Then my baby shower is May 5th.. the end of April and beg of May is going to be busy!!! Nothing else really going on, besides I am feeling much better after the dose of antibiodics for my respitory infection. I can't believe how close I am to my 3rd trimester already. I have noticed my tummy getting harder and it becoming more uncomfortable to sleep without a body pillow not to mention that pesky TMI extra discharge that is going on that I am told is normal during pregnancy. I am also having lower back pain and bad stretching pains and occasional braxton hicks contractions which again I am told is normal. I do feel Kaylyn moving alot more each day and its such an amazing yet weird feeling all in one. I hope everyone else is  doing well. update again next week:)
