Week 15 (My Bday!)

Well tomorrow is my official week 15. I turned 27 today!! ahhhh I also went to my first pregnancy centering program at Vanderbilt. It is a program designed to help create a support system for pregnant women. Everyone in each particular group is due in the same month, so everyone in my group is due in July. I feel it is important to get something off my chest.

This is my second pregnancy. I sadly had a miscarriage in September of last year. It has been beyond emotional hard for me to deal with. I was so heart broken, I was so happy and excited. Brian and I had moved in with his parents to save money but it ended up causing more issues than solving. In my 11th week I had a spontaneous miscarriage. There was no injury or anything else physically to cause it. However I blame the stress from living with Brian's mentally taxing parents and their constant accusations. I am still dealing with this and I am trying to get in to talk to the phycologist who specializes in pregnant mental issues.

Having said that I feel so much more confident about this pregnancy after my centering today. The nurse practitioner sees every girl separately to discuss heart rate of both baby and mommy, fundal height (baby bump) and any other specific issues to each mom-to-be. The best part is when she pulls out the (I think it is called doppler) and listens to the baby's heartbeat. My little one sounds healthy. I believe she said it was about 140 bpm.

Only 5 more weeks till I have the ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby!! I have been making a registery at Target. I also have one at Babys-R-Us, but I'm not sure the prices are acceptable, they tend to be high. Either way they are both under Joy Trute, due July 24th 2012. Until I find out the sex of the baby and if you want to be proactive and order now (you can do that online with both and I believe free shipping to the store near me) avoid anything that is sex particular.

So I am still worried about finances because my electric bill for last months service is $253. And last month wasn't even that cold. Plus my rent is due on Friday ($700) and I barely have half of it in the bank. Which is causing stress and depression for both Brian and I. I'm not much on God but I would love some prayers for help. If you aren't much on God, just send good mojo.

Baby Bump!!! Please ignore how ugly I look, and sorry that it is blurry it is hard to get a good picture with my phone in the low light. *shrug* It is a picture though! :D
