February 2,1998
Well as you all know by now I am expecting a lil' one And yes it is Forest's baby. *S* I was going to wait to tell everyone but it looks like pretty much everyone already knows a lot. *S* At any rate I found out about the little one on December 17 just before Christmas. Needless to say I was really shocked. But for some reason I was blessed with this little one. Yeah, bless cause a child never is a bad thing it is always a blessing!*S*But last wendsday You see I found something out about my new lil' one. The babies intestines are on the outside of the body. But the doctor said there is a chance they can go in all by themselves. If that happens wonderful. If it doesn't well it looks like it might be a rough road for the baby and me. But I have in the past few months faced many many diffrent challages. It has made me a very strong woman for that I am greatful cause my strength and courage is what I am gonna need a lot of. But I must ask everyone this just keep us in your prayers. I know one day soon the kids and I will see that rainbow together! *big grins* Well I will be sure and keep everyone posted on the new lil' one here on this homepage. As soon as I can I am going to try and scan the ultrasounds pictures not sure how they will look but would love to share the first pictures of the baby with you. Right now This page will have links to other baby sites . But will pretty much be a journal until the baby is born then I will change it all to look the way a real hompage should look. Well enough on this for now will keep everyone post to the developments that happen in the next few months! *S*
February 8,1998 As I am sure all of you know by now. But in case you don't . Thank God the baby is just fine. The intestines went inside the baby just great.*big sigh of relief* Feels like know I can handle anything in this world. The older ones are looking forward to the day to see the baby. *laughing* Every day I get asked if this is the day. Haven't thought a name or anything yet. Getting everything else settled first. But when I pick them out I will be sure and post them here. I have a cute story to tell though. I was shopping in meijer last weekend. Was just looking at all the new baby stuff. When I found some stuffed animals that played music. I was pulling them and listening to them one by one. When I picked up this bunny (Very cute) that played " You are my sunshine." The baby kicked me when the music started .*smiles* Yup you guessed it I bought that bunny for the little one. I know I know just a fluke. But I couldn't help myself.*giggles* will post more when I have more to tell!
Febuary 17,1998 Just a little update. The baby is very active now! *grins* Feel it move all the time now. but mostly at night time. I forgot what it really felt like to have a baby move inside you. *smiles* I have a really bad kindey infection now and I guess everytime I go to the Doctor here on out they are going to check it and keep an eye on it! Plus I found out I can get the mumps and measles really easy. so they are also going to take blood a lot from me to keep a close eye on that!So it seems the doctor and I are going to be good friends! *LOL* But other then those things are going great! The most important is that the baby is okay. *S* Still getting used to the idea of having a baby. But it will be cool. Going to be moving then after that I think I will start planing things for the babies room. Better think of a name somewhere down the road too! *LOL* well keep you posted in the weeks to come! Have a good one!
March 7,1998
Well I got to hear the babies heart beat for the first time this week. *big grins* Took the Docotor a long time to get it too . Cause this lil' one is a wiggle worm. The baby wouldn't stay still long enough. Even had the docotor laughing at him/her. I really don't remeber the other two moving so much. I guess this one wants me to know that it is here and is very strong! A fighter like its mom and big brothers! *smiles softly* Will get to know sometime next month what it is when I have the ultra sound. Looking forward to that! Just hope it is healthy. Going again for more blood work this next week. going to run 6 more test on me.*sticks out tongue * I hate needles! *LOL* But I know it is all worth it! At least I don't pass out any more like I did when I was a little kid!*LMAO* At any rate will write more here when I have my next appointment! Take care!
April 8, 1998
Well I found out what the baby was monday (April 6) It's a boy as you can tell. *grins* No I am not upset that it isn't a girl one bit. I am proud and very happy to be the mother of three little boys! I always loved the show "My three sons." well now I know why I liked it so well. Cause that is what I have.*smiles proudly* Got some great ultra sound pictures of him.It was cool to see him again. But he is a wiggler. I think I will nick name him wiggle butt! *LMAO* Well that is all I have to post for now. Will have to wait till next month for more updates . April 9, 1998
Well been really toying with the idea for a name for this little guy. I bought this book for this baby that has...... well every single name you could ever think of in this book. *LOL* I guess now that I know what the baby it is kind of easier. I wanted a strong name . But one that I think has a good ring to it. Kind of Like Craig Allen and Christorpher Phillip! *got the older brother plug in* *giggles* I thought Austin Lee sounds like a great name! Everyone likes it as well. SO I think that is it! Austin Lee Brown!!! This little guy needs a nice name. Been threw a lot with this pregancy. This little guy is here to stay and I am sure to bring joy to many peoples lives. I know mine for sure. His older brothers have that is for sure. Don't know what I would be or where I would be if it wheren't for them. will update more when I can!
