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!!
