Thank you for your interest in reading about our experience with our newest surprise!! Here I hope to keep everyone who can't be with us updated with what is going on with the pregnancy. After baby is born, I hope to make a page with pictures of baby to let everyone in the world see our little angel! :0)





March 18, 2001--T.J. leaves for the field tomorrow. It's been a bit hectic around here lately. I've been really moody, feeling crampy like I'm going to start my period, and I'm not really sure why I havn't. T.J. asked me why I was so moody and jokingly I said, "I dunno! Maybe I'm pregnant!!" T.J. looked back at me with the, 'why do you think that' look and said, "Do you know something I don't?" I told him I didn't. We agreed that while he was gone, I'd get a home pregnancy test to see what was going on.


March 20, 2001--TJ left yesterday. I've been really emotional since he's left and everytime I talk to him over the phone, I'm like a little kid missing it's daddy! I'm pathetic!! I also went out and bought a pregnancy test today. It was negitive!! But why is my period so late?? I know it's been screwed up for awhile but it should be here by now!! Maybe it's too early in pregnancy to tell by an HPT?? Or maybe I'm going to skip this months period!! Who knows...I'll take another test later in the week. Maybe that'll detect something?!


March 23, 2001--Took another test today. It was negitive. I'm losing a lot of weight though! Lost 15 pounds in the last two months. That's excellent seeing that I gained 15 the first 3 months we were here. I've also been told that it looks like I'm losing weight. I've read that the first couple of weeks of pregnancy I will lose weight...but 15 lbs???? We'll see!!! I'll take another test in about a week.


March 30, 2001--Worked today. Took another test when I got home. It was possitive. Are we ready for this?? Guess I should go to the hospital to REALLY see what's going on.


April 5, 2001--I've been going to the gym about 3 or 4 times a week and really working out. I run a mile in about 10 minutes but today when I went, I could barely run!! Ran a mile in about 20 minutes!! That's horrible for me. A friend went with me to the hospital for moral support after going to the gym today. We both got blood taken for a pregnancy test. She doesn't think that she is pregnant, but what's it going to hurt? We'll both find out tomorrow what the results are! My friend Lisa is also coming tonight for the weekend. If the test comes up that I'm pregnant, I guess we'll be renting movies all weekend. If not, it'll be a ladies weekend out on the town!!! :0)


April 6, 2001 (6 weeks pregnant)--Got THE phone call about 7:30 this morning. (I think my heart stopped beating at this time...) The test came back that I AM pregnant. I didn't know what to say. I don't think I said anything!! The man told me that there was going to be a class where I'd get a bunch of information and that's when I'd be getting my prenatal vitimins. After I hung the phone up with him, it took me awhile to dial mom and dads number. I had to think about it first!! Finally I did it and they are TOTALLY excited. They're going to be grandparents! First time grandparents at that!!! :0) Now...I only had to wait until Daddy (T.J.) called. He was scheduled to call sometime that afternoon.

After calling everyone that I had wanted to, Lisa and I went back to bed. I was extremely tired and Lisa had a long drive the day before. About 11am T.J. called wanting to know what the news was. After telling him, I was still in shock. He told me that he had been thinking about if the results came back possitivie and he said that he's ready! He asked me if I was. I told him that I was glad that we got 9 months to get ready for baby to come.

April 11, 2001 (7 weeks)--I had my first class today! Met a lot of neat ladies there. One was showing like she was 4 months pregnant and she JUST found out that she was. Crazy!! I found out that my EDD (estimated due date) is Thanksgiving! (November 22, 2001) I will have so many things to be thanksful for this year. I also got my vitimins too. Will wait until I eat something this evening before I take it. I'm not suppose to take it with milk, but I'm suppose to drink a lot of milk? AHH!! So many things I need to be aware of. I've talked to TJ every day this week. He's so sweet. He's asking all of these different questions. "You're not drinking are you?" "Your not smoking right?" "You're not driving crazy are you?" "You wearing your seat belt any time you're in a car right?" Such a sweet heart. But I can take care of myself!!! (LOL!) He'll be home later this week!! :)


April 14, 2001 (8 weeks)--TJ got home this week. It's so nice for him to be back. But I liked having the bed to myself after a month of getting used to him being gone. I've tried to keep my emotions under control but it's been a bit hard. We picked my sister Abby up in Tulsa today. Abby and I went grocery shopping and bought all kinds of things that I'm suppose to be eating. Lots of fruits, veggies, and NO JUNK FOOD! Can you believe that?! :0) She's going to be here all weekend and we'll have to bring her back to Tulsa the 17th for her to go back home. Easter is this weekend too...and it looks like it's going to be the perfect weekend for her to be here. Sunny skies, cool nights, and temperatures to die for!! :) Gotta love Oklahoma...HA yeah right!!


April 23, 2001 (9 weeks)--3 weeks until my first appointment. I can't wait! Maybe we'll be able to see our little angel. I can't feel anything yet, other than my hormones definately doing many different things to me that have never happened before! I am getting a little pooch. TJ even noticed it. Rubbed my tummy and said, "You're getting bigger baby!!" Was so cute! Can't wait until I can feel baby moving around inside of me.


April 30, 2001 (10 weeks)--Came home from work about 3:30 and had some ice cream. Just felt like some! Then laid down and took a nap until TJ woke me up by kissing my forehead. He left to go to a friends house to play video games and I sat up watching TV. A little while later I felt sick to my stomach. Didn't know what was wrong. Ran to the bathroom and emptied my tummy. TJ called on his way home about a half hour later and asked if I needed anything. Told him I needed him to cook me something to eat when he got home. He did the manly thing and bought me Subway! :) I was happy. I just won't let my tummy get empty like it did!





May 7, 2001 (11 weeks)--Went to my appointment today! How exciting!!!! First thing I had the nurse copy all of my medical papers from in Wisconsin so the doctor knew what he was dealing with. See, I have a didelphic uterus which means that I have two cervixes and two uteri. One baby in one of my uteri are like two babies in a regular uterus. After we got all of those copied, I went in to be weighed, had my blood pressure taken, and they also did a pap. I was kind of nervous! There was the regular doctor, a pa student, AND a nurse. At home, usually there was only the midwife who did my pap. BUT I suppose I better get used to the whole world looking at what's going on with me and my body throughout the whole pregnancy. After that was all done, the nurse went and got TJ out of the waiting room and we did an ultrasound. OH MY GOSH!!! I saw my little angel, and what a cute one at that! The little heart beating so fast, and the little head, and ... oh I could go on and on!! I can't wait for my next appointment in a month! Doc. also wants me to go up to Oklahoma City just in case I go into preterm labor. The facility up there does better off with premature babies.


May 18, 2001 (13 weeks)--Second Trimester...FINALLY!! LOL TJ got home from work about 2:15pm and I had to leave for work about 2:40pm. He came in with a letter/authorization form from OKC hospital. I called the number that was on there and set up my apointment for June 1st 8:15am. We'll be getting up at 5 to get there on time! LOL And who know's what their going to do?? I hope I can get another u/s. I love seeing my baby all cuddled up inside of me so comfortable!! I know when baby is born, being comfortable is almost out of the question! LOL (well...compared to being wrapped up inside the womb!) That's another thing. I love this baby unconditionally already. If something was to happen....I don't know what I would do. I would absolutely lose it! That's out my mind for now though. After I got off of the phone with OKC Hospital, I called Reynolds Hospital and set up my OB appointment here. That's set for June 14th. SO FAR AWAY it seems. Oh wells I guess!
