Wow, I cant believe it, Im almost half way there for this pregnancy. Im technically 19 weeks and 5 days pregnant. BUT, Im pretty sure the dr will induce me before my due date as being on Heparin(a blood thinner)you have to stop 12 hrs before delivery, and the fact that my daughter came 1 1/2 hrs after I got to the hospital.
As the weeks pass Im getting more and more excited. I have been feeling the baby move, not a whole lot. It seems like what I feel is more like little pushes, then actual kicks. Im hoping the movement will pick up more, as then I wont have to use my home doppler as much.

I am so excited for you Jackie!! Keep us updated--I love reading your updates! Did you decide on names? Is it a boy or girl?

I talked with a preganant girl yesterday and she just made me feel warm all over. There is nothing like a Mother - to - be. Beautiful. IT's such an exciting time.

Yeah Jackie, I am so excited for you!

Isn't having a baby a miracle! I can remember with all 3 pregnancies thinking that the whole time! It is such a gift from God!

(((Jackie & little one)))

Have you thought of any names?

I shouldn't be one to ask, dh and I always had boys named picked out, but we couldn't agree in girls names and we had 3 girls!!!

Thinking and praying for you and all due mommies!

By Jackie on Thursday, April 1, 2004 - 08:31 am:

Yes, since we found out the babys a girl, her name will be
Faith Lauren

I have another ultrasound on Tuesday, and hopefull she will stay a she, but if they were wrong the first time and the babys a boy, his name will be
Noah Daniel

When I was pregnant with Sarah back in 1989, her due date was August 31st, but she decided she wanted to meet the world on August 4th! LOL! She was fine though, for having been born that early.
