4 MONTHS & COUNTING....

I finally hit the 4 month pregnancy mark on Tuesday! I'm so excited to be in my second trimester of pregnancy. I'm on day 86 & I have 180 days to go until my due date (I'm 14 weeks and 2 days today!).
So far this pregnancy has been tiring for me and is taking a lot out of me, but I have hope it's going to be alot better soon. Before I was pregnant I suffered from severe constipation and now it's even worse because of the pregnancy. It's hard to eat because of it and causes alot of pain in my stomach. My OB told me to stop taking any vitamins with Iron and to find ones with no iron. I also have to take colace twice a day and ducolax twice a week. To be honest, it's NOT going to work! I tried ALL of that before I became pregnant & I was still hospitalized. I've also been loosing weight instead of gaining weight. My OB is also concerned about that because I'm under the weight I started my pregnancy at. So by my next appointment on January 19th, he wants me to have gained 5-7 pounds. I have no clue how I'm going to do that. He also told me to rest alot and keep my feet up because the constipation is causing alot of pain when I walk, especially in my back.
But other then those two problems the baby & I are doing great.
I went in for another ultrasound when I was 12 weeks & 6 days pregnant. The baby is looking great! It's growing good and is very healthy in my tummy. I was in my ultrasound for over an hour just watching the baby move around and being so cute! It was sucking it's thumb and moving all around. I have one picture of the baby and it looks like it's waving.....

I havent posted in SOO long...

It's been forever since I've posted. So much has been going on, and honestly I've been so lazy to just sit and post.
I don't even know where to start....

Well for starters, I'm pregnant. 12 weeks today. I'm due June 21st. I found out when I was 3 weeks along. I had my first ultrasound when I was 6 weeks & 2 days. Everything is going great so far! The morning sickness is finally starting to go away (maybe?????)...thank god! The last time I went to the doctor was November 22nd to met one of the delevery Dr's (there are 4 at my Dr's office). The heartbeat was 170 BPM & everything looked great. I have another ultrasound next monday and I can't wait to see my little jelly bean. I'm also having a  Nuchal screening test done for the baby. Then I have another Dr. appointment on December 21st. I'll keep posting every now and then with whats going on!

HERE ARE SOME THINGS...

I WANT TO DO BEFORE I DIE!

Yep, you read that one right. I was sitting on my bed, just thinking. I was thinking of all the things I would love to do before the Grim Reaper comes and takes my life away. I mean, yes, I'm only 18. But hey, my life can end tomorrow for all we know. So here is a lovely list of things I want to do before I die (okay people, I know if I die tomorrow i wont get any of them done! LOL!) :

*Skydive
Kind of like flying, so hey, why not feel the wind through my hair on the way down!

*Spend the night in a haunted house...by myself
Yes people, I eat that shit up! Give me a haunted house & I'm entertained for hours.

*Drive across America. ROAD TRIP BABY!
Give me some good Cd's, a bag of chips & a few good friends & were off on an adventure...oh & I would of course need a map!

*Catch a baseball from a Red Sox game
Okay, so maybe I'll be scared I would get hit in the face...but I'll be sure to wear protection, that's why they made those face mask things...right?!

*Find my birth parents & siblings
I know I may never get this one crossed off, but that's actually my number one dream in life. I want to know where I came from. Who my mother is. If I look like her. I have so many questions for her. It will be hard, but I'm going to try & find my parents.

*Walk in a marathon for breast cancer
Yep, I want to do it! I want to take a good ol' walk for breast cancer!

*Visit Alcatraz
Yeah I know its haunted & there are tons of sharks around it, but who gives a flying crap?! I sure as hell know I don't. I want to go and explore the old creepy jail and maybe have a few ghost encounters!

*Go to a gay pride parade
I think gay people are amazing. They are funny & have really good personality's. They have huge hearts & they can be a really good shopping buddy! So I defiantly want to go and support my gays & what they believe in.

*Find the love of my life
I don't care if he is poor & lives in a shoe box (well maybe the shoe box will be an issue) but still, I want to find a really good, amazing guy I can be happy with and have a wonderful life with. & he obviously needs to make me laugh...duh!

*Live on a farm
I know I defiantly am not a hillbilly, but I love horses (maybe not there stench & there nasty poop) but still, I want to live on a farm and raise a whole bunch of animals. I'm not going to eat them though, they will be strictly pets! I am against hunting and killing animals thank you very much!

*Visit the Great Wall of China
I've always been in love with China. I have no clue why, but I would love to go there. Or maybe even move there. Hmm, I might have to learn a little Chinese before I go. Just so I can be with the "in" crowd when I'm there. LOL!

*Have children
Isn't that every girls dream? To be a mom? Mine is, I would love to have kids. 6 to be exact. I've always been in love with kids. I would love for my mom to know her grand children.

*Spend a whole week at the beach
Not sure what beach, but I want to just lay out under a palm tree, with nothing to worry about & listen to the ocean waves (& maybe some little brats wonderful children screaming & yelling).

*Travel to Africa for an African Safari
It might be hot, but I want to explore the wild side of life!


Okay, so maybe that's only like 13 things I want to do before I leave this earth. But hey, it's better then nothing, right?!
