A Little Of Everything

I'm Deonna Smith, proud wife to Matthew Smith, and proud MOMMY to either Kayden Grace Smith or Devin James Smith... hopefully we will know in just a few weeks whether we have a little prince or princess on the way :).
My husband and I met 6 years ago and were at different points in our lives..we split up and 5 years later finally got it right and got married :). Our anniversary is Oct 03, 2010. He is my sweetheart and I could'nt have prayed for a better husband and future father to our child.
I was told years ago that I would never have a successful pregnancy... God is in control.. Doctors.. not so much! After multiple miscarriages and heartbreaks, we know this is it! This is our miracle baby! I am currently 10 weeks pregnant and already look like I have a volleyball inside my tummy lol. Im sick and tired as a dog most of the time, but its so worth it! I hope the baby looks just like my handsome husband.
Ive started to feel little "flutters" too early for kicks, but i feel some movement , especially at night! This baby is a night owl already and thats pretty scary. Hope its not a vision of things yet to come!
We did an early gender test and its 80% sure its a girl.. We will see!!!! So for now I will refer to it as "she" because I dont like calling the baby "it."... my husband calls it "SEAMONKEY" lol.
She so far loves the Temptations and Journey. Seems that when I play that kind of music she gets very active. Shes also did a few flutters when Iv'e played the piano for her. You never really understand just how "alive" a ten week old fetus can be until you've been pregnant.
I will never forget our first ultrasound. We could already see little eyes and a little mouth.. And an amazingly strong heartbeat!!! It was 154 at the first ultrasound and 166 at the second one !! She is going to be a little fighter. And with all the weight Mommy is gaining so quickly I wouldnt be suprised if she is plenty healthy when she is born.
Is it crazy that I'm nesting already!?!?! I have so far to go... yet already baby shopping and having baby baby baby on the brain 24-7. Its amazing how much your life changes the minute you find out your'e expecting. I never thought I could love someone so much who wasnt even born yet.
Im making myself take it easy, making myself vent. Thats one reason I created this blog. I was considered high risk until a few weeks ago, and I'm still on some restrictions.. cant lift more than 15 lbs, cant pull on things.. have to take sitting breaks at work.. have to take oodles of nausea meds, vitamins, anxiety pills etc. Trying not to stress when youre under tons of stress is the hardest thing in the world.
My mother is sick back in North Carolina and I miss her desperately. I dont know anyone in Kentucky other than my husbands family and the people I work with. Outside of work, I have not made a single friend here not related to my husband :/. My husband got screwed over by the Marine Corps, and wer'e starting to believe he will never receive what he's owed. In the midst of all this, we're house hunting, and pregnant. AND trying to catch up financially from where we had to fill the gaps the Marine Corps left. 
Luckily, we both found jobs shortly after we moved to Kentucky. Matt got a good job as an IT guy with a plant here.. I got a sales job. But 2 mos after I started my job I got put on bedrest. SURPRISE! YOURE PREGNANT!! lol. And of course Matt got slapped onto a 2PM to 2AM shift 6 days a week... while i work mostly days.. so sleep is limited and so is our time together.
The hardest thing about him working the crazy hours is that I feel like he's missing out on things with the baby... every time she moves.. he misses it. He doesnt get to talk to my belly or sing the baby lullabyes like he would like to. It breaks my heart :(. But he tries to make up for it whenever he can... he is a wonderful , hard working, man! I know he will be such an amazing father.
