BIG THANKS TO GRANDMA LEIGH AND GRANDPA PHIL
FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL GRACO TRAVEL SYSTEM.

QUICK UPDATES

2010-02-18T15:55:00.001-08:00

UPDATE 01: (Glucose Results)
On February 08th I got a call from my Dr. and she informed me that my three hour Glucose Test Result were in and every thing looks great. It was Negative, and I'm Gestational Diabetes Free. What a great birthday gift! Best news ever, other than "Your Pregnant" & "It's a Girl"...

Update 02: (Birthday)
So being pregnant on your big 21, seems to be a bummer to some ladies. But for me, I actually had a great time. You don't have to get ID to buy alcohol ladies, if you want to share to the world your turning 21, have a few friends over and have virgin drinks! or plan on going to a Casino for a good hour or two and they will be glad to ID you for soft drinks or virgin drinks if you like, or if you chose to play card games such as black jack they will ID you before you play, or even when you enter the Casino they will check your ID just to make sure your 21 and over. It's there policy now! and hey, it feels good to know your getting ID for that than actually going to a bar just to buy Alcohol that you can't drink. So life isn't over theres lots of options to have a great 21st birthday...

Update 03: (Childbirth Preparation Class)
Tuesday night was our first Childbirth Class and it was not bad. We got to meet other couples who are expecting around the same time as us, and we also got to do small group activities which was pretty fun. We pretty much went over the basic of labor and delivery, and we discuss how to deal with emotions during labor so it was really interesting. It's so nice to see our Fiance's and Husband's participating, I think that's the best thing about these classes it's when the guys get involve. Jeremy did pretty good! he was into the class and he actually had a great time. He really surprised me! I honestly thought he wouldn't like it but he did. Yay! Jeremy....

9 more weeks to go! than our little Aevah will be here...

TWO MORE MONTHS TO GO

2010-02-02T23:04:00.000-08:00

Wow! Time sure flew by quickly. Our little one will be here in two months! Can you believe it two months omg!, it feels like yesterday we were going into our first ultrasound appointment. Haha =) It's exciting and we can't wait for her arrival but yet! it's so scary to imagine how our lives will change forever. It will no longer be life as a mom and dad to be but actually life as a mom and dad. The thought is pretty crazy! but we're ready, at least our minds and heart are. A lot needs to be done, but were do we begin... First off, theres a lot of cleaning needing to be taken care of, also sanitizing all of the surfaces, baby products and toys and than the washing of baby clothes, blankets, and all those cute adorable baby materials. Than there's the last minute baby shopping. Boy oh! boy that's a task, but I know it will be worth it in the end.

WEEK 20...

SO YESTERDAY WE HAD MY SEVENTH ULTRASOUND AND DR'S. VISIT, AND EVERY THING LOOKED GREAT. BABY IS DEVELOPING WELL, SHE HAS NO SIGN OF ABNORMALITIES OR DOWN SYNDROME WHICH IS AWESOME! AND HER HEART RATE SEEMS TO BE BEATING PERFECTLY. SHE WAS A LITTLE STUBBORN WHEN THE ULTRASOUND TECHNICIAN TRIED TO MEASURE HER BONES, BUT COUPLE TAPS ON MY BELLY AND RE-POSITIONING MYSELF ABLED HER TO GET A FULL IMAGE OF WHAT WAS NEEDED TO BE MEASURED. FROM THE MEASUREMENTS THEY WERE ALSO ABLE TO DETERMINE MY DUE DATE, WHICH OF COURSE CHANGED INSTEAD OF APRIL 11TH IT'S NOW! APRIL 18TH SO WHAT'S ANOTHER 08 DAYS OF WAITING. SO OFFICIALLY I'M 20 WEEKS AND 3 DAYS TODAY, WHICH LEAVES ME WITH 20 MORE WEEKS TO GO! YAY! I'M SO HAPPY TO BE EXPERIENCING THESE DRAMATIC CHANGES THAT MY BODY IS GOING THROUGH! I MEAN IN THE FIRST TRIMISTER IT WAS HARD TO TELL, BUT NOW! I CAN FEEL AEVAH KICKING, MOVING, WIGGLING EVEN RESPONDING TO VOICES AND MUSIC! WHICH I THINK THAT IS SO CUTE AND AMAZING. JEREMY ALSO WAS ABLE TO FEEL HER LITTLE MOVEMENTS AND HE JUST LOVES IT! OVERALL AEVAH REALLY BROUGHT ME AND JEREMY CLOSER, INFACT NOW THAT SHE CAN HEAR US WE DECIDED TO SPEND 15-25 MINUTES OF LISTENING TO NURSERY RHYMES OFF FROM YOUTUBE OR THE RADIO. WE HAVE A BLAST DOING THAT! WE ARE VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TILL HER ARRIVAL THOUGH! WE JUST CAN'T WAIT... WELL THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT... NOW IT'S TIME TO GET READY FOR MY APPOINTMENT AT WIC! HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!

WEEK 16...

I KNOW I HAVEN'T REALLY BOTHERED TO KEEP UP WITH MY BLOGS AS MUCH AS I USED TO, BUT UNFORTUNATELY MY ASSUMING OF AN EASY PREGNANCY HAS PROVEN ME OTHER WISE. I BEEN EXPERINCING SOME OFF AND ON NAUSEA, SOME MINOR LIGAMENT PAINS WHICH OCCURS EVERY ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE MAINLY DURING THE MORNINGS AND AFTERNOONS AND I FINALLY GOT OVER MY COLD WHICH I'M ASSUMING IS DUE TO THE DARN FLU SHOT THAT THEY INSISTED ON ME TAKING AS WELL AS ALL OTHER PREGNANT MOMS. SO ALL IN ALL I WAS A COMPLETE MESS THIS PAST WEEK OR SO. HAHA! ALL OF MY ENERGY WAS DRAINED, DON'T REALLY GO OUT MUCH AND I BARELY GO ON THE COMPUTER AND WHEN I DO, I'M ALWAYS ON POGO.COM WHICH THAT SITE CAN BE VERY ADDICTING. HAHA!
ANY WAYS, I DID LOOSE ANOTHER POUND, WHICH NOW MARKS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF 9LBS LOST IN THIS PREGNANCY. YIKES! BUT ACCORDING TO MY DOCTOR IT'S NORMAL AT THIS STAGE TO LOOSE UP TO 10LBS AS LONG AS I'M HYDRATED I'M GOOD. NEXT WEEK TUESDAY WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT IF WE'RE HAVING A BOY OR A GIRL! WE ARE SO EXCITED, WHAT EVER THE OUTCOME IS WE WILL DEFINITELY BE HAPPY WITH THAT.. WE JUST WANT THIS BABY TO KEEP ON GROWING AND KEEP ON MOVING HAHA!.. WE ALSO HAVE A WIC APPOINTMENT AS WELL... SO THAT MEANS BUSY WEEK NEXT WEEK.... OH! O.... WELL NOW THAT I SAID MY EXCUSES AND SHARED MY SCHEDULE, I THINK ITS TIME I LEAVE IT AT THIS, AND SAY HAPPY HOLIDAYS! TO EVERY ONE...

LOVE JEREMY, ASHLEY & BABY (AEVAH-NARYE OR KINGSTON)

BABY WAS SO ACTIVE YESTERDAY...

WE GOT TO SEE HIM/HER MOVING ALL AROUND

WAVING, KICKING, DOING THE HULA, OR JUST

BEING FUNNY. HAHA! IT WAS AMAZING...

JEREMY AND I ARE SO BLESSED THAT NOTHING BAD HAPPENED TO BABY. WE WERE SO WORRIED YESTERDAY THAT WE WOULD BE EXPERIENCING ANOTHER EPISODE OF A MISCARRIAGE, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS JUST MY LIGAMENTS GOING OFF CRAZILY. HAHA! TO KNOW BABY HAD A STRONG HEART BEAT (YES! WE FINALLY GOT TO HEAR THE HEART BEAT YAY!) AND HE/SHE WAS MOVING AROUND. A BIG SIGH OF RELIEF WAS LET OUT. I WILL BE SEEING MY OB THIS WEEK SO I'M HOPING THAT NO INFECTIONS OCCURED OR WHAT SO EVER. BUT TODAY I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER... =)

*When is your due date?
- a p r i l - 19 - 2 0 1 0.

*What week are you in?
- im officially 14 weeks today. yay!

*Have you had an ultrasound?
-yes i have. i had three ultrasound so far.

*Do you know the gender of your baby? If so, what?
- not yet! but in 3 weeks ill will be able to find out. i can't wait.

*Do you have a name picked out? What?
- yes i do.
GIRL: Aevah-Narye (hawaiian name still deciding) Freneau
BOY: Kingston Elias (hawaiian name still deciding) Freneau

*Is the child being named after someone?
- it might be named after someone, still deciding.

*Who is going to be with you during delivery?
- my hubby of course. & my mom.

*Natural or medicared childbirth?
-hmm! not really sure yet! but most likely medicared childbirth. haha!

*How are you feeling right about now?
-much better than the past couple of weeks. finally out of the nausea stage. yay!

*What was the first thing you bought for baby?
-i brought a newborn pajamas for a boy. & a new born pajama for a girl. haha! couldn't resist it. after seeing baby on the ultrasound i got too excited. haha!

*Do you feel you are ready to have a baby?
-honestly, i think no ones ready to have a baby. i think its accepting the fact your going to be a parent is important. than its focusing on getting through each trimister. and than its making sure that the delivery goes great. so its a matter of taking it one step at a time, either your a first time mother or an already experienced mother no ones really ready...when baby's here god knows what could happen its a live each day one day at a time experience but being prepared and being aware of things is a must.

*Are you excited or scared about delivery?
- im excited. not quite nervous or scared yet! but i know when that time comes ill be nervous and scared. haha!

*Any food cravings?
-mmm! not really.

*Anything you loved before that you absolutely cannot eat anymore?
- yes! i cannot eat meat. i can't stand the taste of it and i can't stand the smell. =(

* Anything else you'd like to share or vent about?
- not really. im excited and i can't wait. the months are going by fast, which is making it even more surreal for us. but overall we take it one day at a time.

WEEK 13....

YESTERDAY WE HAD OUR FOURTH DOCTORS APPOINTMENT, AND EVERY THING LOOKED GREAT. WE COULDN'T HEAR BABY'S HEARTBEAT, BUT WE DID GET TO SEE HIM/HER ON THE MONITOR. I DIDN'T GET THE CHANCE TO SEE BUT JEREMY DID WHICH I WAS REALLY BUMMED BECAUSE FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS ALL I WAS WAITING FOR WAS TO SEE HOW BIG OUR BABY HAS GROWN AND WHEN YESTERDAY CAME I WASN'T FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SEE BABY ON THE MONITOR =( BECAUSE THE ROOM WAS PACKED WITH TWO OTHER MEDICAL STUDENTS AND THE MONITOR COULDN'T MOVE AROUND FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO SEE SO THAT WAS A BUMMER. BUT I'M GLAD JEREMY GOT TO SEE BABY, SO I WAS HAPPY FOR HIM. I GUESS TO ITS HIS WAY OF CONNECTING WITH BABY BECAUSE OF COURSE I HAVE A MORE SPECIAL BOND WITH BABY BECAUSE HE/SHE IS GROWING IN ME SO I CAN FEEL WHEN BABY FIRST KICK OR MOVE AND ALL OF THAT SPECIAL MOMENTS WHEN BABY IS GROWING INSIDE OF ME. SO I GUESS! THIS WAS GREAT FOR HIM TO EXPERIENCE. BUT ANY WAYS ACCORDING TO JEREMY BABY WAS MOVING ALL AROUND, IN FACT IT EVEN WAVED HAHA! SO CUTE WISH I CAUGHT THAT ON CAMERA . IT DID GROW A LOT SINCE THE LAST VISIT, SO THAT'S ALSO AWESOME. AND ALTHOUGH WE COULDN'T HEAR THE HEARTBEAT THE MONITORED SHOWED BABY WAS DOING GREAT AND HE/SHE HAD A GREAT BEATING HEART SO THAT WAS A RELIEF... OUR BABY LOVES TO HIDE FROM THE HEART MONITOR BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE ACTUAL VISUAL ULTRASOUND HE/SHE IS SO ACTIVE, WE HOPE THE NEXT APPOINTMENT WE WILL BE ABLE TO HEAR BABY'S HEARTBEAT CAUSE SOME TIME IT WORRIES US WHEN WE DON'T HEAR ANY THING...
IN FOUR MORE WEEKS WE WILL BE ABLE TO TELL WHAT WE'RE HAVING WE ARE SO EXCITED FOR THAT DAY TO COME... HOPEFULLY WHEN THAT DAY COMES THOUGH BABY'S LEGS AREN'T CLOSED AND WE CAN TAKE A SNEAK PEEK TO SEE IF ITS A GIRL! OR IF ITS A BOY!... BUT WE'LL SEE...
FRIDAY MY SISTER GETS TO FIND OUT WHAT SHE'S HAVING, GOOD LUCK TO HER.... I KNOW HER OLDEST SON WANTS A BABY BROTHER AND THE GIRLS WANT ANOTHER SISTER BUT I GUESS THEY HAVE TO WAIT TILL FRIDAY TO SEE... EITHER OR WE ARE SO EXCITED FOR HER... MAINLY CAUSE WE BOTH WILL BE MOMMIES AND AUNTY'S IN THE SAME YEAR... YAY!

SO I'M 12 WEEKS AND 04 DAYS PREGNANT TODAY. DON'T REALLY HAVE MUCH GOING ON THIS WEEK. I DID IN FACT HAD MY FIRST "MOTHER-TO-BE" SPA MASSAGE ON WEDNESDAY, THAT WAS SO AWESOME AND SOOTHING. I'M PLANNING ON GOING BACK WHEN I'M 7 MONTHS INTO MY PREGNANCY WHICH IS AROUND MY 21ST BIRTHDAY, BUT WE'LL SEE.
OH! YEAH ON THURSDAY I GOT TO FEEL LITTLE FLUTTERING MOVEMENTS IN MY BELLY, IT WAS SO AMAZING. IT LASTED ABOUT 2 MINUTES... I'M ASSUMING ITS THE BABY BECAUSE IT FELT AS IF IT WAS AND THERE WAS A LITTLE TICKLISH FEELING WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING. JEREMY WAS A LITTLE BUMMED BECAUSE HE CAN'T FEEL ANY THING YET! A FEW MORE WEEKS, I BET HE WILL BE ABLE TO FEEL SOME THING... NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS HOW IT FEELS TO FEEL YOUR BABY MOVE, ITS SOME THING A MOTHER NEEDS TO EXPERIENCE FOR HERSELF... NEXT WEEK IS OUR NEXT DR'S. APPOINTMENT HOPEFULLY ALL GOES GREAT, SOME TIMES I WORRY WHEN MY SYMPTOMS DISAPPEAR FOR A DAY OR TWO BUT I GUESS ITS PRETTY NORMAL WHEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR 4 WEEKS TILL YOUR NEXT DR'S VISIT. ITS LIKE A COMBINATION OF WANTING YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT TO COME BUT ITS TAKING A WHILE, AND BEING ANXIOUS AND NERVOUS TO SEE HOW BIG BABY HAS GROWN ON THE ULTRASOUND AGAIN.. HAHA! BUT IT'S JUST ANOTHER 4 DAYS TILL MY NEXT DR'S VISIT. SO I CAN WAIT....

PS. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHOUT OUT TO MY LOVELY BEAUTIFUL NEICE

BOY AM I FEELING NAUSEOUS, MY DOCTOR SAID TO EXPECT THAT BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT WILL BE THIS BAD. I HAVE MADE TRIPS TO THE BATHROOM EVERY NOW AND THAN MAINLY TO VOMIT AND MY BELLY FEELS WEAK AND I CAN'T SEEM TO KEEP MY FOOD DOWN. ALTHOUGH THIS OCCURS MORE TOWARDS THE NIGHT TIME, THE FEELING OF NOT BEING ABLE TO GO OUT IS KILLING ME. I DECIDED TO PUT MYSELF ON BED-REST TILL I FEEL BETTER, AND SO FAR IT'S WORKING. ONE THING I STILL HAVE TO GET USED TO, IS NOT BEING ABLE TO HANDLE CERTAIN SMELL. THAT IS THE WORST FOR ME, I CAN'T HANDLE THE SMELL OF FOOD BEING COOKED, AND ALSO CAN'T STAND THE SMELL OF CERTAIN ODORS. I HOPE IT GETS LESS WORSE AS THE WEEKS PROGRESS. BUT WE'LL SEE. ALTHOUGH ITS NOT A GREAT FEELING TO EXPERIENCE THIS, TO ME I ACTUALLY LIKE IT. WHY? WELL EVERY SIGN OF MY PREGNANCY GOING GOOD IS A GREAT SIGN AND SO FAR ITS LOOKING GOOD. NEXT WEEK WEDNESDAY I HAVE A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT HOPE IT GOES GREAT. UNTIL THAN I GUESS ITS A MATTER OF WAITING IT OUT AND SALTINE CRACKERS =)

PRENATAL VISIT 01....

Just a quick update on our first prenatal visit.

Everything went well, I have gained weight so I was NOT happy about that. Since I am not starting off in that great of shape I was hoping to not gain any in the first trimester. (And yes, unless you are really thin, that is okay.) Oh well! They took a lot of blood samples from me which by the way they had trouble finding my vein but after the fourth try, I was good to go. My Dr. than checked my uterus which she said it felt soft and it seemed to be good. My blood pressure was high, so that was a disappointment, because its not safe to have a high blood pressure while your pregnant because you could have a miscarriage, and that's the last thing my Fiance and I want to go through again. So I was told to come in next week to check my blood pressure, but in the mean time I had to watch what I eat, and I had to exercise more. So we made that commitment we were going to do that, and we are. Next week I hope every thing goes good. And that my blood samples and physical exam turns out awesome.

FIRST ULTRA-SOUND DONE @ THE FREE CLINIC.

YOU CAN'T SEE ANY THING YET! BECAUSE THIS IS WHEN WE

DISCOVERED I WAS ONLY 5 WEEKS AND 1 DAY PREGNANT.

JEREMY AND I ARE SO HAPPY, AFTER TTC (TRYING TO CONCEIVE) FOR AWHILE

WE GAVE UP AND LOST HOPE. ITS SO FUNNY HOW GOD'S BLESSINGS WORKS IN STRANGE WAYS, WE REALLY WASN'T EXPECTING THIS. WE THOUGHT WE COULD NEVER GET PREGNANT AGAIN! BUT LIKE THE OLD SAYING GOES, "WHEN YOU STOP TRYING SO HARD, YOUR TIME WILL COME". AND HEY! WHAT YOU KNOW, ITS TRUE...

WE ARE TAKING THINGS ONE STEP AT TIME. ONCE WE GET TO HEAR BABY'S HEART BEAT, THAT'S WHEN THE REALITY OF BEING PARENTS TO BE WILL HIT US. AS OF NOW ITS A MATTER OF PRAYING TO GOD FOR HIS GUIDENCE AND PROTECTION FOR NOT ONLY JEREMY AND I BUT ALSO FOR THE LITTLE BLESSING HE HAS BESTOWED UPON US.

(BIG SURPRISE)
