My name is Ashley. I am nineteen. I have a daughter named Audrey. I live with my parents in Seattle, WA.
9 November

She is here!

Audrey Autunm Rose Felsman-Sorrell was born on Monday, October 10, 2005. I had a 20 hour labor. Started at 9:30PM  Sunday, and I had her at 5:14 PM on Monday. And only twenty minutes of pushing! I had Sally take me to the hospital when the contractions were very five minutes apart, and lasted for one minute. I didn't want to wake up Floris since she had work, so I waited until she went to work to go to hospital. Sally finally took me at 9:30 AM. I couldn't do it without the medication, I was so happy to have the epidural at 11:00 AM! I withstood all  horrible the pain until then. I was going crazy. I felt like I was dying.... 
 
I can't belive she is almost a month old! The past few weeks have just flown by. I don't know where all the time went. When she was born I was so full of emotions. I was happy, sad, exhasted, and grateful all at the same time. When I look at her I see myself and Julian. She is so beautiful. I know most parents say their child is the cutest...but mine really is! She doesn't cry very much, and is mostly content at all times. She just wants to eat and sleep all day. My parents are getting more used to her. They didn't want her, and now they adore her. Now I bet they regret they ever tried to convince me to get an abortion. She is so precious. I get frustrated with her sometimes but I love her so much. Her smile makes me melt. I don't know what I would do without her. I think she makes me a better person. I am more patient and loving. I value life more. I never knew I could love someone so much, but she is a huge exception. Children are God's greatest gift.

Emergency Room

I had a scare. I was jumping off of the water tower brige up at Mission Dam. After that, I was concerned about some really sharp pains in my stomach. I thought that maybe there was something wrong with the baby. It had been happing for several days and I grew more and more concerned. I finally decided to go to the hospital. Since I was in Montana I had to go the emergency room. At my first visit, they told me it was integestion. They gave me some Tums and sent me home.A few days later I went back, they told me I would have to stay over night for observation. Julian came into town and we stayed until 6:00 am. We watched TV and didn't get much sleep. Aftre we were discharged, we went to IHOP and sleep for most of the day.

This is my 28th week. I just returned from Montana. Julian and I spent the whole month together going to pow-wow, swimming, hiking, taking walks, eating out, going to movies, and enoying eachother's company. I had a really gteat time. It was so nice to see Julian. It was really  hard to leave again. But I know I have to see the doctor to make sure that the baby is growing as she should. He will be coming to Seattle to visit my family and I in August. That is when we will both get out per-capita checks worth $400.00. I want to show him more of Seattle. We had such a great time last summer. It was so romantic to show him the town and all the amazing thing that are here. He really liked the pizza place I took him too-Pagliacci's. Yummm! He has us go there everytime he comes over,but I don't mind. It is the best pizza in all the land! I have gained a total of 20 lbs. I feel like I look huge. I  been having a lot of pain in my upper body, mostly my ribs. It feels like all my organs are stuffed up against my lungs. Sometimes I feel like I can't get enough air. It scares me sometimes. The doctor tells me the baby's heart beat it strong and healthy. I feel good. I have been exercising and eating right, everything is good. I would say it is the most exercise I have gotten in quite some time. I neer was big into exercise, but walking the dog with my aunt is easy and fun. It feels good to be so healthy. I have added a lot of fruit and vegetables to my diet. I am so happy. I can't wait for Audrey to come into our lives.

Today I went to the doctor today for my last check-up before I leave to Montana. I am 22.5 weeks pregnant. I have gained 12 lbs, and my belly is growing. I was fitting in my regular clothes until about three weeks ago. I decided to buy some maternity clothes. They aren't very fashinonable, but I used to wear my clothes tight fitting, and now they just don't cut it! The baby's heart beat is strong. The baby is moving around, and I can tell when she sleeps and is awake. I am still thinking of the name. I really like the name Audrey. Audrey Cecille Rose. What do you think? It is my favorite. So it better really be a girl! My next appointment in on July 19, 2005. I have made several appointments for when I come back home. I have to go to the docotor, the dentist, the WIC lady, and see the nutritionist. I hope that Julian will be able to come to Seattle with me, when I have to come back. I am so happy that it is finally summer. All my classes are over, and I can sleep in!!! I am still waiting for my grades to come in the mail. I believe I have all A's!

I went to my ultrasound today. I am now 20.5 weeks. I am half-way done with my pregnancy! Julian and his mother drove over from Montana to be here for my special day. They got up at six and made it here by three. Julian almost wasn't going to come, because he had forgotten the date of my ultrasound, he thought it was on June 3rd. I had to make the appoinment about two weeks ahead of time. I guess that Radiology is really busy at the GHC. We all arrived at 4:15 pm, my aunt Sally included, to the hospital. I changed into a gurney in the dressing room,  and layed down on the bed down the hall in room 5. The sonogram technicion was a man, he was a little strange. He didn't tell us much while he was going the exam.  I had to ask a lot of questions because I couldn't tell what body parts were which. The baby wouldn't move it's head, so I had to be turned so my feet were up in the air and my head was down. I had to roll over on my left and right sides. Still he couldn't get all the measurements. The technicion was getting frustrated. My 25 minute ultrasound exam turned into an 65 minute one. After final getting all the measurements, they told me that everything was completely normal, the brain, heart, kidneys, and digestive system. The baby weight only 13 oz! And above all...I finally got to find out what the baby is. Guess! The tech was 95% sure that it was a...

My baby is A Girl! A Girl! I Am So Blessed! I Am Soooo Happy!

I went to my fourth prenatal appointment. I am nineteen weeks pregnant. I have gained six pounds, the doctor says I should try to eat more, because I am not in the normal weight range. I am two pounds behind. My belly is geing bigger and bigger. My breasts are huge, the grew two sizes bigger! Unfortunately, the grew so fast I have strechmarks. I rub cocoa butter on them, but there is not cure for strechmarks. I will keep trying though. I don't have any others yet. If I gain weight at a slow and steady weight, I have less of a chance of getting many. I signed up for my first ultrasound on the 1st of June. I want to know what my baby is. I am hoping for a girl, but I will be happy with either. I can't wait to meet my baby. It seems like such a long wait. I am enjoying my pregnancy though. I read about what the baby is doing everyday, and I love to feel him/her move inside of me. I feel like we have such a strong attachement. I just wish Julian was here to share the joy with me. I need his support and love. I feel lonely being so far away. I think about him all the time, but it just makes the time go slower and slower, and it feels like forever until I get to see him.

I just had my birthday yesterday. I am now nineteen years old. I am sixteen weeks pregnant. I went in for another prenatal appointment at 2:00pm. I got to hear the heartbeat for a third time. I got a blood test to screen for spina bifida, down syndrome, and other birth defects. I have to wait ten days for the result. If they are negative, then I don't have to take anymore tests. I am hoping everything is well. I am showing now, most of my shirts are too small, but I can still fit into a few pairs of my pants. I am hungry more. I just wish I had Julian to rub my feet for me. They ache sometimes, especially walking to and fro.
