Doctor's appointment yesterday.

So I had a checkup yesterday and my blood sugar was high. So they are going to check it at my next appointment to see if it is high and if it is, they will proceed to do further testing. I am measuring three weeks too small and she said that kind of concerns her. What the heck? Am I supposed to worry? The baby's heartbeat was "happy" as the doctor put it. I don't know. So many thoughts run through my head. Will my blood sugar be up again? Will my baby be small? The doctor is also concerned that I have not gained enough weight. I probably eat an elephant a day. I am always eating. I even get up in the middle of the night to eat. I am a couch potato, so not much exercising gets done. I do not know what is going on. Oh well. It will be over in 53 more days(hopefully).

32 weeks down, 8 more to go.

Today I am 32 weeks and could not be more impatient for my little girl to come. I get so excited when I feel her moving in my belly. I swear I don't think there is anymore room for her to grow. she is up at my ribs and down by my pelvic bone all at the same time.

As far as symptoms go and all the pregnancy woes, insomnia. I have a hard time falling asleep and then when I do, it is hard to stay that way. So I get really tired throughout the day. I try to exercise by going on walks, but it has to be late at night because the weather is ridiculously hot. I am hungry 24/7. I will eat and then minutes later my stomach will start growling and I will be hungry. I do not know where it all goes. 

I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday and could not be more excited. I love being able to hear Skye's heartbeat.

I can't believe I am almost there. Sometimes it feels like I just found out I was pregnant and I just moved. I am not even settled in all the way. AHH! Still have some baby stuff to get so that is on my mind. 


Being a teen mom to be

I never thought I would be in this position. I thought I would be married and be in my mid-twenties before I got pregnant. I thought I would have a degree or a certificate of some sort, but that is not the case. I am 18, unmarried and jobless with a baby on the way.I am living across the country from all my family. I am in a position where I feel helpless and alone. I feel as though nobody understands. Yes, I am the one who moved. I found it extremely important for Chris and I to be together when our baby is born. I admit it is very stressful. I wish I had a job because that would cut down the stress, but I just can't seem to find one. I don't get to do all the things that 18 year olds are doing. I have to grow up and be an adult. I am the one who got myself into this position, but I still miss just having fun and not having to worry about every thing I do. Will it harm the baby? Is what I am eating safe? etc. I cannot wait to meet my little girl, but at the same time I am not ready. I want Chris to be able to feel the closeness I already have with her. I want to be able to give my little girl a great life. I want to give her more than just what she needs, but far above that. I have always wanted kids young, but not this young. I know I will be a good mother and Chris will be a great father. I wish I would have decided not to have sex. I wish I wasn't about to have a baby because my life is nowhere near where I hoped it would have been by now. I hope to get my cosmetology license after the baby is born, but I will have to find someone to watch my daughter and find a school, which all are about 30-45 minutes away. It is going to be tough. I just hope I stick to my plans and do it.

My birthday

Today I awoke to Chris saying happy birthday. He wanted to be the first to say it. Then I got a sweet card which made me cry.  The card said 
     I'm in love with you! There I was - one minute getting to know you, enjoying you, and wondering where it would all lead... and the next, thinking about you all the time, knowing that I never, ever wanted to be without you! I guess that's the way life is. You're going along doing your everyday things, and out of the blue, life surprises you with something amazing - something you had no idea how much you wanted. That's what you are to me, you know, an amazing gift... Falling in love with you is something I couldn't stop, even if I tried. What I'm trying to say is - you're "it" for me, now and forever.

Then he wrote on the card " Baby I love you so much. You and baby Skye are all I ever want in this world. Muah, have a happy birthday.

I read this and balled my eyes out. He also got me a cookies and cream ice cream cake because you can't have a birthday without cake. The entire day he took care of me, asking if I needed anything. 

I also received a box in the mail which was perfect timing, it cam on my birthday. It was from my mom. I got books for the baby, but one in particular stood out. The belly button book. My belly button has always been my so called security blanket and this book just made me laugh. I love my family so much.
