Almost 4 months!!

I can't believe how fast time is flying. I'm 15 weeks and 2 days, one week shy of my 4 month mark. Wow, I think I'm getting a little nervous here.

Since I've last written I received my test results from my 1st Trimester Screening. My risk for the baby having Down Syndrome were a little elevated ,but nothing major. Like all doctors they offered the Amnio to be done, but I turned it down. I know who is in control and that's God. The exact same thing happened in my pregnancy with Asia. That time however I got the Amnio done, not knowing any better. Now my faith is more stronger and I'll keep it moving. I did give more blood today for further tests, but I am certainly not risking a miscarriage.

Today was a day full of doctor's appointments. First I took my mother to get her Thyroids checked out and some blood work done. Got something to eat and then went across town to my OB appointment. Before going there, I stopped off to give more blood and then went upstairs. I was 30 minutes early, hoping to be seen and outta there. Sure enough I was out by 2:10 and my appointment was originally for 2. LOL

I have gained 2 lbs, which is good considering at my last appointment I had LOST weight. The baby's heartbeat is nice and strong. Just like his/her daddy!

My next check up is on Jan 2nd and I will be 19 weeks. I would've been able to find out the sex of the baby then, but I have to do my Quad Screening on the 21st. So because insurance SUCKS, they won't pay for two seperate sonograms. Needless to say I'll be on pins and needles until January 21st!!

We're also hoping to have gone to settlement on our house by then and be all moved in by January 31st!! PARRTTAE!!! Sike naw, no people over till our "open house/baby shower"....maybe.

Here are the latest pics( taken with my cell phone b/c there are no batteries in the camera).

1st Trimester Screening

Today I had my 1st Trimester Screening. What is this? Well to put it simply it's a test that determines if your baby is at rish for Down Syndrome and other disorders such as spinabifoda.

I was a nervous wreck because everything with this pregnancy is already so different from my last( 9 years ago!). I just wanted to make sure the doctor wouldn't come back and tell me something is wrong with my baby. So far so good, now I just have to wait a week for my blood test to come back.

Cravings: EVERYTHING! I'm so happy to have my appetite back and tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Thank you lord!

Also if you didn't know Derrick and I both want a little boy this time, and guess what?? He wants a namesake :-( Oh well, we'll discuss and if we have a Derrick Massie Jr. I will end up calling him D.J. while his father insists on calling him J.R.( for junior..weird I know..LOL).

On a sad note Derrick's grandmother passed away last week and the funeral was Monday. You'll know me. I'm emotional as it is, but pregnant I'm no good.

Oh wait one more thing , my due date has been changed!! Baby Massie will be due to arrive on May 26, 2009!!!

12 Weeks

Hey!!

Your girl is now 12 weeks and 2 days pregnant. Time is flying, I know. Baby Massie will be here in no time, you'll ready?? I am. I'm doing wonderful, I finally have my appetite back and my stomach is slowly expanding. I've been chowing down on PB&J, Steak and Cheese and Ice Cream. Even after eating these foods I still managed to lose 3 lbs when I went for my 11/12 weeks check up last week. Next month I don't think I'll have that problem. LOL. The Massie family is well and crazy excited about welcoming this new addition. Please continue to keep us in prayer as we're still on our journey. Stay tuned as always and be blessed!!

Morning Sickness

Well it's offically started. The morning sickness :-(

I'm more sleepy than anything, but today after I took my pre-natal pill I thought I'd be praying over the toilet( like Tonya says)!! LOL

My girlfriend Tracey takes care of me, and gave me some honey-wheat bread. Whew, that helped A LOT! Thanks Tracey!!

Otherwise, I'm blessed feeling good.

Check out my little "grain of rice" embryo.

7 Weeks

Well I'm only 7 weeks pregnant and I'm not showing that much. Here is a picture. I will update everymonth.

Right now, I'm not really that nauseous, but I am sleepy as hell all the time.

My Skins lost to them damn Ram :-(

That's it for now. As always thanks for reading. Until next time.

First Blog Entry

So this is my very first entry. I plan on blogging throughout my pregnancy and home buying process! It's all a little overwhelming, but God is in control of everything!!

Right now I'm laying on my bed, watching my Redskins lose to the damn Rams!! WTF!! I'm so not wanting to get up and cook dinner, can't I just lay around and be pregnant for the next 9 months? lol.

Oh well, life goes on. God is good and tomorrow's a new day.

Thanks for visiting and come back soon.
