Monday morning at 3:15am I turned over and it suddenly felt like I peed my self. I got up and ran to the bathroom and could not stop the water.  I then went and work up my dad and Stepmom and told them that I thought my water broke.  My Step mom said she had thought I might have been in labor most of the day on Sunday because I did not really feel my self, my back hurt and I had lost my appitite. Saturday I had direaha all day. I was scared for one I really was not ready for her and she was early. I thought she would be early but not this early.  Ok so back to the point, My parents took me to the hospital. When I arrived I was only 1cm dilated and 0% effaced so my doctor started me on pertosen to increase the labor.  At 10am I was still only at about 2cm but I had finally gotten to about 75% Effaced.. I was hurting badly so they gave me some pain meds.. 2 more hours went by and then finally 4cm and I was ready for the epaderal. Finally when the epaderal took effect I thought I was going to finally take a nap.. Guess agian LOL with in 30 min I went from 4 cms to 10cms and was ready to push. I pushed I think it was for about 30 to 40 min.. And finally at 2:36pm Samantha had made her presents be known.. Mommy had to have a epesotomy and more stiches where I tore inside.. They also said I had really bad Hemorids. But all that doesnt matter even though I am still in pain. My baby is here I am now a mom something I have always wanted to be.  Samantha is doing really well for her size. The only problem medicaly she has is she is jondis, I have to take her for her very 1st dr. apointment in the morning at 9:30am.  Samantha and I stayed in the hospital untill Wed. afternoon. She is already being spoiled by Mommy, Grandpa, and Grandma.

Samantha's Life So Far

This is Samantha's story and her journey so far, as most of you know I am 34 almost 35 weeks pregnant with her. Here is how it all started. In Febuary I had missed my monthly and I was feeling sore I mean really sore in my boobs, I was also getting bad craming feelings so I decided it was a long shot but I got a preg test thinking that I am jsut makeiing a big deal out of nothing. Well guess what I was wrong the 1st test came back positive I 1st thought something was wrong so I took another one and then I took a 3rd one and they all came back positive. I was scared I told my husband and he called his dad and I then called my dad. My dad could not speek for a bit and then I started to cry and he calmed me down and told me to call the helth department and make an appointment well I did and the appointment was that day. I called into work and told my boss what was going on and that I would be unable to work that day. I then went to the Health Department and they tested me and I was positive. The gave me some pamflets, a mag, and some prenatal vitemines and then called and got me an apoint ment with an OB and I also applyed for my Medicare and Wic that day.

A few days later I called the rest of my family and told them the news. They all seemed happy for me and congratulations all around. I then had my 1st OB appointment and they gave me another pg test and took blood and all that stuff. Then the doctor came in and checked my area and then told me I was pregnate and he has estmated that my due day would be around Oct. 12th, I keep all my appointments. About my 3rd month I started having trouble urnateing and I thougth there was something wrong with the baby so I went to the hospital and they said I had a UTI one of at least 4 that I have had during my pregnancey . The doctor gave me some antibiodics and sent me home.

Around I guess it was 8 weeks pregnant they did the 1st ultrasound sadly I do not have that picture to so you, but she looked like a round ball with 4 sticks sticking out of her. That is when the due date changed from the 12th of October to the 10th of October because the machine said that was the EDD. Then when I was 18 weeks the doctor sent me to the hospital to have an ultasound that is where I found out I was going to have a baby girl, a tall one with big feet. Recenly about my 32nd week I had another ultrasound and I had to have the nurse confirm that I was endeed having a girl. She confirmed it and told me that Samantha also has a full head of hair and also commented on her big feet. Samantha was face down the whole time so I could not see her face. Here is a picture of where they showed me that she is defantly a little girl.

I had a big scare during my 5th month I noticed blood in my underware and told my step mom and she and my aunt rushed me to the hospital where they took me to Labor and Delivery. It turned out the blood was comming from a sever UTI and that the baby was fine. The doctor told me that I had to cut down on the soda and if I did drink it it would have to be light color and caffeene free so I have been drinking gengerale.

During that time is when all the stress hit me and I switched doctors. I went with one closer to where I live now. I moved back home to my dads.

And this brings you to now. In the past 2 weeks I have had 2 baby showers. My side of the family gave me one where I got a ton of stuff for the baby which made me happy because being with out money you need all the suport you can get. Then on the 28th my mother in law threw me a shower where I also got some things for the baby like the crib.

I guess Samantha must be getting ready to be born because my hips, pelvic area, and vagina hurt badly and it makes it hard to walk. But no matter the pain I can't wait for my little girl to come. Just about a month left if not less. I am so excited and nervous its not even funny. But this is all about her well so far.

Thanks for reading.

Love Always

The Story so Far

Dear Readers,

This is my 1st post, so where should I start hum.. Well I guess I will start from the beginning. My name is Mandy, I married my soon to be ex husband on September 13th 2009 we where married, 6 months then I found out I was pregnant in February. We where both excited at the time and scared to death. Things started to change, my husband started turning into a completely different person from the one I married, he would spend more time at his parents then with me. He was adamant that my baby was going to be a boy and that he was not going to change diapers or get up in the middle of the night to feed the baby. Once I suggested that we should start picking out names encase the baby turned out to be a girl and he got mad and said the following “WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A GIRL, THAT BABY HAS TO BE A BOY!!” , I said nothing else about a girl.

When I turned 4 months pregnant I had bladder infections, I was working as a Security Officer at a Trash Dump, I had to work 7 to 14 hours with no access to a rest room or water. My husband and his family wanted me to quit my job, my doctor suggested that I quit, she did not put this in writing. My husband acted like what she said was the gospel and that I had to quit my job he put pressure on me to quit so even though I knew we could not afford for me to quit I gave in and quit my job. Suddenly everyone wants me to get another job, when being close to 5 months pregnant no one would hire me. Me and my husband argued this issue for many weeks. He then went to his Aunts for week to look for work, before going he asked my dad and my step mom if during the week he was away if I could say with them because I was having dizzy spells and he was afraid I would fall or something being their by my self. During that week it was a constant fight over the phone about me looking for a job when over 40 people told me that no one would hire me because of my pregnancy, but my husband and his family would not believe me. Then to add insult to injury I go to the big Dr Appointment where I was to find out the sex. My Husband did not show up to the appointment, The doctor told me through ultrasound that I was going to have a girl. I call my father in law and told him to have my husband call me because I had important news to tell him about the baby. When my husband called I told him the news and well I thought we worked everything out and everything was going to be okay, until the next morning when he called me and told me he wanted a divorce, but he would always be there for me and the baby and that I could come and get my belongings anytime. Well as you can imagine I was devastated I had to wait till I could get my uncle to come and help me with my stuff because he had a truck and could help me lift stuff. I had finally got a day when I could come down and get my stuff so I text my husband and told him what day I was coming, he refused to let me come and then told me he had changed the locks.

I had to get an attorney, and she gave me some bad advise so we went to court, my father n law got up in court grand standing hugging people and shaking hands with people who where in the audience waiting for their cases to be herd. He then started saying he had nude pictures of me which I never posed for I don't believe in that crap anyway. My lawyer told me it looked like picture that where taken with out my knowledge. That hurt me badly, I started crying and my Aunts and my lawyer had to calm me down. The case was postponed because the judge knew my father n law, but I did get a date to when I could come down and get my stuff. Which some of my stuff I never got back.

When it was time for the next court date, my lawyer called me and told me that the case was being postponed again because my husband and his lawyer wanted to get my medical records, I was frustrated and I just dropped the case. My lawyer should have advised me not to do so because 3 weeks later I got papers filled with false accusations about me and him demanding a paternity test. When he knew how I felt about cheating and new I would never to such a thing. I tried repeatedly to get a hold of my lawyer but she was never available or would never call me back. I then had to fire her and get a new one. Now that was a daunting task. It took me forever to find someone who would represent me. But thanks to my uncle I was able to get one. That pretty much brings you all up to date an the whole divorce. 

On my next post I am going to tell you more about my pregnancy and about my baby and I hope to also show you some sonogram pics and a video. Sorry this post is so long but I am hoping to find someone who is or has gone through a the same type of situation.


Thanks for taking the time to read this blog.
