We just got this one done today,
All I can seem to make out is spinal cord, back, neck and VERY big head, at least I think thats all head.. could be wrong. We tried to get a face shot but he was turned away from us the whole time.
Week 20/19 they are still on the fence as to whether im 19 weeks or 20. I give up counting.
The ultrasound today was pretty tough, on my back that is, I had to lie on my back for 40 minutes..
Now normally this is something I do not have a problem with but I think all the added pressure on my belly into my back suffice to say my back is ACHING now. They had to take pictures of everything to do measurements. Not fun.
But all that went away when it came down to seeing our baby, Haji managed to come with me this time =)
An example of what the baby would look like in the womb at 20 weeks
Definetely can tell im pregnant now, im not HUGE but im slightly round. Even when I suck in my breathe its apparent. Lots of kicking going on too. Well not kicking but fluttering. A LOT.
Anyway, after all the routine measurements we got to take a good look at the baby and she asked us if we wanted to know the sex, at first I said no because I knew Haji didn't want to know, but then Haji said yes. Which shocked me because I wanted to know but this whole time he didn't. So I asked him if he was sure.. he said YOU ALREADY KNOW. and I said no I dont actually she asked me before hand and I said no.
So he said yeah I want to know, and she looked at me and I said yeah why not..
and drumroll please...
Yep =) Shocked the hell out of me, I mean I know its a 50/50 chance but I seriously thought I was going to have a girl. Just because everyone kept telling me "Its gonna be a boy" I thought it would just come out to surprise us.. so when they told me boy I was like...Whattt? Haji is happy as hell. I know thats what he wanted. He never said it but I can tell.. I was just happy with anything, boy, girl its all good =)
At least I know what to do as far as preparation wise. Now the biggest problem is going to be the name.
Haji wants to name it after him and I dont want that.. I really never liked the whole father/son jr thing. Most obnoxious thing in the world. But if worse comes to worse, that will be the name and I'll give him a middle name and call him by the middle name to distinguish him from Haji.
Its gonna be crazy but I think I'll be prepared for when it comes ^_^.

Another one of those blogs that "requires" a title for some god awful reason. So if the titles sound a little retarded its just because I didn't know what to write and I just thought of the first thing that pops in my head.
18 weeks and 1 day today =)
Getting really nervous not so much about labor or anything like that, Im totally freaked out about that but about accidents in the womb.. I mean I know the miscarriage rates drop to about 1% in the second trimester, but now Im just nervous about things like the umbilical cord choking the baby or having an incompetent cervix, I'm so fucking paranoid its like im more paranoid then actually enjoying my pregnancy. I've been reading all these stories about women losing their babies around the time I'm at now. I'm probably just overreacting and worrying myself over nothing but I can't help it..
As far as the labor goes, I'm nervous but im not I mean I know its the inevitable I have to face it eventually but I can't even watch those shows on the discovery health channel without wanting to cringe, I try to just to see what im in for, but I can only stand to watch about 5 minutes of it before I change the station.. I guess I just prefer to experience it rather then watch it, looks more painful to watch.
I have an ultrasound on January 10th, really excited about that, I'll be 20 weeks. But I really don't think we are going to find out the sex, I mean I'm dying to know but Haji doesn't want to know, and I know if I know I'll end up telling him. So to save me from temptation im not going to find out either. I just can't wait to see how much my little one has grown ^_^
I've been curious to know how a baby breathes in the womb, if its floating around in its own fluid lungs and such.. going to have to look that up.
I've been feeling bubble the past few days the day before yesterday was the best I felt them throughout the day, but today I havn't felt anything, so i'm trying to do various things to conjure up some bubbles, drinking tea (caffeine) playing music (baby can hear now) so far not much maybe he/she is sleeping..
I'm so bored right now, the snow pretty much has trapped me in the house so I can't take the bus anywhere, I'd like to go pick up some DVD + R's my dad put the burner into the computer so I've been using it to catch up on a lot of the movies I've missed over the past few months.
One of the movies I burned was Black Swan, its a really bizarre, thriller/drama its so bizarre you can't seem to turn away from it. The ending kind of sucked though.
It's about this girl named Nina and she is obsessed with ballet its her life, her goal is to be the prima ballerina, but she struggles with her own mental problems, her controlling mother, and her perfectionism.
The trailer can better explain the plot, the trailer was the real reason I wanted to see it.
I also managed to see Inception which I've been wanting to see for awhile. It wasn't what I expected it to be, everyone is like "oh its soo good" but to me it was confusing and I got it but towards the middle of the movie I was kind of waiting for something to happen as I was watching it but I felt like it dragged for me. Really disappointing.

New New Blog
Ok so its nothing fancy so far but Im working on it, Now that im entering the Second Trimester I'll have plenty of energy to keep doing the things I enjoy/hate.
I hate the fact that I have to leave all my old posts behind lots of memories in those but I can always go back and look on them if I want to.
New life/New beginnings I guess =)
A lot of things have gone down this week... the place where I was at up till 2 days ago it was really starting to get to me, like grate on me, the same shit every day, the drama, the in and out the bustle, the chaos it was literally driving me insane. I couldn't take it and I needed a break from it, I needed an excuse to get away and I knew I couldn't go home, since the place where I was staying only allows you out 1 time a week. So I needed something that could be used as a medical excuse to get out of there. It was a spontaneous spur of the moment decision and at the minute I made it I was upset but I knew I had to get away from where I was for at least a week. So this is what I did.
So I checked myself into Rhode Island Hospital saying I was "depressed" , they stuck me in D pod again, just incase I wanted to "hurt myself" which wasnt the case at all. I just wanted a break. They were going to release me that night but I knew that I couldn't go back there, if I did I thought I might go crazy I knew I needed to get away from there for a few days. So I told them that if they sent me to an outpatient center that I wouldn't go, I just felt that whats the point really I mean if I could barely get myself out of bed in the morning what makes you think im going to drag myself out of bed to go to a center to make me feel better, I could always just say fuck it I dont want to go.
I was 2 seconds away from flipping out, I just basically told them to get my shit and that I was leaving when they gave me another option, to go to an in patient treatment center, they called it an NRI Subacute unit and it was at a place called SStar in North Kingston.
It wasn't what I exactly wanted, I wanted to be put in treatment at Rhode Island Hospital but it was better than being sent back to the hell hole I called home for a month or so, so I said fine I'll go.
So apparently because my insurance says I have to, I ended up being picked up by an ambulance which took me over to Sstar which is like this big log cabin in the woods somewhere... apparently Sstar isn't just for people with depression its for people who are going into detox, alcoholics, drug addicts. I was pretty much going to a rehab center and thats exactly what it looked like.
At first by judging from the people who did my intake and by looking in the fridge I thought this place was run by a bunch of hippies, the guy who took me in was all jolly and happy and the fridge had hummus and orange juice, almost all healthy shit. Intake is a long process so your first day is like all questions and just inventory of all your stuff.
They did a pregnancy test and of course I was positive, I guess I am the first one in years to come to Sstar and pass a pregnancy test.
I basically told them my history with depression, how I felt, if I wanted to hurt myself now blah blah blah same as Rhode Island when I went there.
I came straight from the hospital too so I had no spare clothes and whats worse is they wouldn't let me use my makeup because it was "open" and I guess people can sneak in drugs or whatever in makeup so I spent 6 days there without my make up, I must have looked like a hot mess.
My room was this big empty space with two beds a large window and my own bathroom, I had a room mate for about 2 hours before she left really pissed off at the place for some reason, so I was all yay my own room, no snoring, no noise just me.
I tried to take a shower, and of course I got screwed no hot water, my insurance is paying for this by the way. So the whole time I was there I ended up having to use the one next door or across the hall.
They would have group like every hour or so mostly educational things where you just read papers, you have a lot of free time they have arts and crafts you can do. They have a tv and a Wii and movies but you can only use those at night time. So during the day I was really bored, I ended up painting a wooded snake and making a T-rex model and painting that. I think when I get some money I'd like to take some art classes its really therapeutic and it puts your mind off all the crap you may be worried about.
The food was really good, for breakfast they bring in pastry, for lunch and dinner you'd go to the cafeteria and they'd have a set meal of whatever was made for that day and a full salad bar, only thing that sucked was waiting for everyone to finish and we had one girl who just talked through her whole meal so we'd be waiting there for eons.
After about 4 days of being there I met my councilor who looked about my age and seemed like she had absolutely no interest in what I had to say, she gave me a phone pass to call Haji which allowed me to call him ONCE a day. Which really pissed me off. The one support system I have and I can only call him once a day.
"Oh your suppose to be here for you...blahblahblah" So what the people back home no longer exist now that your here at Sstar?
I guess while all of this was going on, my parents had been trying to call my phone they took my cell phone away so I couldn't use it, I didn't tell them where I was going I didn't want anyone to visit me or worry or I just wanted it to be me getting away from EVERYTHING.
I guess my parents started to worry since I had my phone off so they sat for days wondering where I was before they finally decided to file a Missing persons report on me..
My dad called the police, detectives were out looking for me, they went to where I was staying showing them my picture, Haji meanwhile was in the hospital someone apparently tried to steal his phone, my parents called an old number that I had a long time ago hoping that it would be either me or Haji to pick it up and apparently whoever was on the other end was a major asshole getting his kicks because when they asked him where I was the person on the other end of the line said I was dead.
Which really freaked them out, because they didnt know if it was true or not. Whoever that guy was he must have felt really sorry he did that because next thing you know detectives were at his house interrogating him about my "disappearance". Dumbass.
My dad finally caught up with Haji and before this they never actually talked one on one and my dad was really pissed off at first cause he thought maybe the person on the other line was him. But they talked for awhile, he told him where I was, they came to an understanding I guess, I'm glad they finally got to meet I mean he is the father of my kid afterall it was inevitable. Either there or the delivery room. Just wish it was under better circumstances. So my dad called Sstar which could not confirm or deny I was there, but the staff told me and I called him back. They must have been relieved. I never thought I'd go that far I just thought I'd go there in out no questions asked.
But the good thing about all this was they said I had to come home. I guess when my dad went to talk to Haji he got a big taste of what I had to deal with where I was staying at. So they decided to bring me back home. That I didn't belong there, which I was relieved because I really did want to go home. I missed it, despite how boring it may be, its the best thing for the baby right now.
In a way I'm glad I did what I did because I'd still be out there if I hadn't.
After all that happened I just decided then and there to go home, I had a day left of "rehab" but I said screw it this is too much stress for me to take here. I need to know whats going on. I left that day. I was pissed off at Haji beacuse all this was going on and he wasnt answering his phone. I had no idea what had happened and he didnt know the number for Sstar to call me.
So right now im home typing this out, very bored, times like this I wish I had my 360 back or my old computer so I can play SOMETHING..my PS2 isnt even hooked up...I have no car.
But it really could be worse =p.
I'm 4 months pregnant as of today =) Its going by so fast, I don't even feel 4 months, im barely showing. no symptoms other than backache and slightly larger belly, No cravings really. Seems like pregnancy is a piece of cake so far.
My birthday is next Friday =) I'm really excited, Haji is taking me out and then we might do something for Christmas I hope..I'm going to be 24...never thought I'd be pregnant..married maybe but pregnant. Totally came out of left field. But thats life throws you surprises sometimes =p.
I'm not sure when the next ultrasound will be, i'm anxious though because im pretty sure we'll be able to find out the sex. Still deciding if I want it to be a surprise or not.
Of all the lifes surprises this one really would be a surprise. But can I wait that long lol
Whether I find out or not I'll be sure to post pictures =)
