About Me

Welcome to my blog! I am a wife and a Mommy of three. We have 2 daughters, Reagan and Hayden and a son, Grasyon. Here I write about our life happenings and try to capture memories the best I can.

20 weeks! Halfway there!

Since I never really blogged about my pregnancy with Reagan I thought I would go back and add a little bit about my first 20 weeks pregnant with her. I was looking back over My Pregnancy Journal, since one day I will probably misplace it, and found where I had made a few notes.

Week 6 - First test, positive!
Week 7 - mood: down, frustrated. I am not going to write much about this week because it was a week from hell. I threw up all day everyday and the morning sickness and back pains never go away.
Week 8 - weight 96.5lbs(starting weight 105)
Week 9 - weight 94lbs; Jan 9th admitted to emergency room because of weight and dehydration. Received an IV and we were there 3 hours.
Week 10 - All I can eat is cheerios and banana.
Week 11 - Mood: Getting more positive, still sick all day, cravings cereal & macaroni and tomato.
Week 12 - Jan 28th-31st, hospitalized, feeling miserable, needed IV's.
Week 14 - Feb 10th-13th hospitalized again. The only time I feel better is when I am here. Plus, my wonderful husband never lets me stay the night alone. I love him.
One day to pack all of our stuff, leaving Panama tomorrow to head back to Dallas.
Week 16 - Daddy left for Tijuana :(
Week 17 - Stayed in College Station for the week to be with Sister. Went to the ER tonight, Feb 26th, threw up over 20 times today. Doctor was rude, hospital annoying. She told me she couldn't hear a heart beat, stayed 6 hours & went home. Thanks to Uncle Lance who stayed with me the whole time.
Week - 18 We had an apt today March 13, hoping to find out boy or girl. After doing a sonogram she said it was a little early and the legs weren't right but if she had to guess she would say GIRL!! (weight 109lbs)
Week 20 - (really closer to week 21) Starting to really look and feel pregnant. (weight 117lbs)
20 weeks with Reagan! (for some reason the coloring in this picture is terrible, kinda like my hair! Note to self: brown and short is NOT cute.)

20 weeks pregnant with Baby Boy! (weight 117 lbs, the exact same as with Reagan. I look bigger with her but I was just skinner then!)


With all that being said, I don't feel like I have very much room to complain. I didn't write in a journal this time, I blogged more about our events because we were busier. I can say that at 2 weeks I knew I was pregnant again. I was at the gym with my trainer and had to quit. The only time I suffered from acid reflux was when I was pregnant with Reagan and I was having it. I took a test and it said negative, but I knew I was pregnant and it was just too soon to tell.
I told Darrin at about 4-5 weeks I started my Zofran medication right away. I was to take a 1/2 pill every 6 hours and I could tell when it was time to take it again. I still threw up every morning and throughout the day I just felt nauseated and really tired. I am still taking the Zofran at night and durning the day BUT because it wasn't near as bad in the beginning, I knew for sure it was a boy!
