An introduction "What's one more?" were the first words out of my husband's mouth when I asked him what he thought about us expecting again for what will be our seventh child. Relief took over me and I smiled. Where some women may find this a semi-uncaring attitud
Week 10 - It's a Teddy Graham I had my U/S today and we saw our baby as clear as day! It measures 1 inch exactly and we could see all the body parts including little arms and leg and part of the umbilical cord. He/She looks just like a little teddy graham - so baby gets a nicknam
Week 11 - Age has nothing to do with it! At my first prenatal visit, my doctor's office did the usual preliminary "mommy" blood work. Despite the fact that I am in a monogamous relationship, they always test for every STD known to man and tons of other things that are a repeat from pregnanc
Week 12 - Here comes Santa Claus Christmas is fast approaching and as you can imagine with 6 kids to buy for, it's a bit nuts around here. I'm pretty good about starting my shopping by October (thank God for the internet) so I have just about everything bought, it's the wrapping and
Week 13 - Welcome to Trimester II It's two days before Christmas and I had my second prenatal visit today at 12W5D. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is progressing and that I'm headed into my second trimester already! My uterus is the right size and the baby's heartbeat was 15

Week 16 - Medical oddity, 6th time running This is my 6th successful pregnancy and I am 5'1", 115lb pre pregnancy. With the fact that I've been pregnant so many times coupled with my small size, I should at least look semi-pregnant by now right? HA. Nope. I am still wearing my regular clothin
Week 17 - All is well I had my third prenatal visit at 16W5D. Let me preface by saying that I have never gained more than 26lb with any pregnancy, and always lost all of it very quickly. I'm the type that is back in my pre-pregnancy clothes 6-10 days post partum. Yes I'm
Week 9 - Symptoms, what symptoms? I'm writing this entry on Thanksgiving Day (8W4D pregnant) and this year, as with every other, I have so much to be thankful for. I have been blessed with 5 of my own beautiful children (Justin - who will be 14 in January, Karah - 12 1/2, Kalissa -7
