First heartbeat

I just went to the doctors for my first real check up, I cried...I admit it! Hearing the heartbeat for the first time was so magical! Next week I get to see you for the first time and can't wait! I'll officially be in my second trimester too. I'm loving being pregnant <3 I also found out I can have my baby in a birthing center that will be open in June and its covered by medical! All blessings!!! Until next time I'll be pregnant and sassy <3

10 weeks and 4 days update

I'm feeling so much better! I'm only nauseous at night now, but am still tired during the day. Still caffeine free though :) I'm getting bursts of energy every so often...when this happens, it's go time! I'm still the same weight but my baby is only two inches long at this point. I'm getting more and more excited! I can't wait to find out the gender, we will be happy with a boy or a girl BUT we are rooting for a boy. I'm kind of set on the name Cross or Kross but we will see haha, lots of choices from here on out and so happy Tim and I get to make them together. Until next time, I'll be pregnant and sassy <3 

Autumn Marie

She is going to be the best big sister! She has told me and her Daddy countless times about how she wants to be a big sister. I'm so blessed to have such an amazing little girl walk into my life. I'm just praying that she gets to stay in her Daddy's life more than just the summer's. Her whole family is here and the situation is so hard on a six year olds sole. I know this is in gods hands and he will bless her with what is truly best for Autumn. I'm not wanting to step on her mother's toes in any way, not my place...but I will be a good mother influence while she is with me and I'm here to support my boyfriend in his choices with his daughter. I just can't wait to tell Autumn about the new baby <3 until then, I'll be pregnant and sassy

Holiday's

Holiday's are about to change forever...Easter, Halloween, Christmas, mother's day, a new birthday to celebrate! I'm seriously so excited. Its not just about me or my boyfriend, its going to be doing child traditions mixed with teaching him or her what the real meaning of each Holiday is. Autumn, is such a big part of our life but unfortunately we don't get her for Holidays, that will soon change if all goes right in the near future. I just feel so blessed to be creating a beautiful family with the man I love and his daughter.
Until next time, I'm sassy and pregnant <3

Incompetent

It never seems to surprise me when I need to double check a doctors work. I've had my second UTI in a one month period.
I did my research on my last antibiotic and it was good to go. This time I had severe pain so I just wanted the antibiotics in my mouth to feel better....shame on me...I only took one pill before I saw a strange warning label on the antibiotic "do not take if you become pregnant" well holy heck! I did research and apparently this specific antibiotic should never be taken in the first trimester and will cause birth defects....REALLY! I called my doctor right away irritated that I even consumed one of these pills!
Now, I'm having to pay out of pocket yet again for another antibiotic that won't hurt my baby...worth it, but still very frustrating.
So much stress has taken place in the last month, my boyfriends aunt dying suddenly of cancer, fighting for custody of Autumn so Autumn's mother doesn't just move out of state with her. I'm only going to be employed for two more months then I need to find a new job for the summer...I don't know how hard that will be with me being four months pregnant.... I need to move out of my current home into my boyfriends house to save money, but I'm in a lease. Having to give my dog away to a great home (my daddy) but I want my dog so bad...getting blamed for the auto accident that happened last year when the guy hit me and I swear it wasn't my fault... Now I have my medical expenses, and my car won't get fixed (and it's falling apart) but I get my insurance to sky rocket....such a storm of bad things.
I really hope things start to lighten up and the rainbow at the end of the storm appears...I know it will, it will just take time. Until then I'll be pregnant and sassy <3

Get off my back

Seriously, I can't wait to start showing, it's amazing how many lectures and comments I get about how under whight I am. I get it, I'm over nine weeks and I'm not showing.... From what I've read it's normal to not show in your first trimester and only gain one to five pounds in the first twelve weeks. I'm still eating frequently but small meals even when I'm nauseous. I'm still the same weight as before pregnancy, but my tummy is excitingly poking out a little so my jeans are so uncomfortable to button... Hello belly band!! To answer any confusion: no I don't have an eating disorder, and never have. In fact, I love food! I've always eaten small portions because I get full fast and yes there have been times when I've been to sick to eat over a period of time, from other illness, not an eating disorder. I'm just naturally small and petite. I can still fit in and still have some jeans from middle school believe it or not...I just haven't gotten any bigger or smaller in YEARS. So back off, I know what my body is telling me and I'm just fine :) until next time I'm pregnant and sassy <3
