New Baby Andrew!

Hey everyone I had my beautiful baby boy Andrew! I love him to death, but I'm sure you want to hear my labor and delivery story :) When I posted, my water broke immediently and I felt the baby drop! I stood up, called my midwife who was there within 2 minutes and my babysitter who was there within 7 minutes to watch the kids. My midwife Elysa and I walked to my bedroom where I stripped and laid down on the bed and she delivered my baby within 8 or 9 minutes! So, Andrew Jeremy Ardia was born Friday September 13th at 36 weeks and 6 days old, techinally 37 weeks, at 3:13pm, weighing 8 pounds 3 ounches and 22 inches long. I love my baby so much, we are in the hospital now. After Elysa cleaned the baby up, she drove me and Andrew to the hospital just like always! We will get released tomrrow afternoon at the latest.

False Alarm

Hey everyone, I'm sorry I left you hanging last Saturday! It turns out that everything was a false alarm, my water that broke turned out to just be pee and my doctor measured me wrong, I was 2cm not 7cm. So, as soon as they figured that out they sent me back home! I was so glad, and still am, that I didn't have my baby yet because I was 36 weeks at that point! I will be 37 weeks tomorrow, but still that's not full-term or anything. So I'm hoping this baby will hold off for another few weeks! :) This week was pretty uneventful, I had a doctor's app on Wednesday at 36 and a half weeks, he said I am still 2cm dilated and I had been having very slight contractions, but I just wasn't able to feel them. I had really bad back pain this week, which was probably from the contractions! He thinks I could pop any day now, to just come in whenever I really start to feel the contractions or my water breaks. I am hoping I can make it another week until my baby is 38 weeks, because if he is born earlier than that he will have to go to the IQ! I don't want my baby in the IQ I want to hold him and nurse him right when he comes out. But as long he is born happy and healthy I will be happy :) Joey wants to be there for the birth of his son but I don't feel comfortable having him there and all. I just plan to call him when the baby is born so he can come and meet his son in the hospital! Also, this week I did go on a date with a man I found off www.iwanttodateapreggo.com and his name is Ryan! I really like him and he likes me to we plan to keep in contact and we have another date next week if I don't go into labor before then :) Oh my goodness my water just broke, I'm positive this time! I feel the baby coming out...I have to go call my midwife, no time to get to the hospital this baby is coming NOW! 

Big News!

have gone into labor! My water broke an hour ago, and right now I am at the doctor with my mom and best friend Chloe! My doctor thinks my labor will go quickly, because I am already 7cm dilated! He is worried though because my baby isn't full-term, he's 36 weeks :( Anyway, the kids are with their babysitter Hannah, they love playing with her! :) 

Hello!

My name is Jessica Ardia and I'm a 19 year old single teen mommy of 4, and this is my story. It all started in the 7th grade, when I met Drake. He and I clicked immediately and we fell in love and because the dream couple. Sex had never seemed like a big deal to me, and I lost my virginity when I was 13 after Drake and I had been dating for 3 months. A month after my 14th birthday in 8th grade (August 31st) I missed my period, and took a test. I was pregnant! It was a really big shock for me, I was definitely scared, I hadn't took birth control at all, because I didn't think I would need it. It was a big mistake. When I told my mom she was supportive, because she knew I was having sex and was afraid I was pregnant because I threw up a few mornings in a row. She took me to the doctor that day (September 1st) and at my ultra-sound we found out I conceived August 31st on my birthday, I was a month pregnant that day and due June 1st. I fell in love with my baby after that, I would do anything to make it through and keep my baby safe! Drake was everything but supportive, he freaked out and hit me, and I broke up with him because he said he hated me that I had ruined his life. It was really hard for me, losing Drake, because I truly loved him, but realized he wasn't the "one" for me. At my 4 month ultra-sound, I found out the gender of my baby, I was having a girl! I was so excited, I had always wanted a baby girl and my dream was coming true. I had my baby June 7th, 2009, when I was 14 years old. I went to school my whole 8th grade year, even when I was pregnant! I graduated middle school with my 9 month belly, and I wasn't ashamed! I named my baby girl Lilia, and she was everything I ever dreamed of in a little girl!

When Lilia was 1, I met Danny. We fell in love, what attracted me to him most was how good he was with Lilia and that he loved her like his own daughter! October 3rd, 2010 I found out I was pregnant again! I was 16. I had grown up so fast with Lilia, I felt so much older because I had matured and gone through things that not many 16 year olds understood. At my 3 month ultra-sound, Danny and I got a big surprise, we were having twins! I was so scared, going from a mom of 1 to a mom of 3, all in a few months! I had my twin boys on May 3rd, 2011 I was still 16 and Lilia was almost 2! Danny and I loved our little boys, Alex and Bradean! Danny and I were together until I was 17, the boys just turned 1 and Lilia was almost 3. He had an affair with another women, so we broke up because I couldn't trust him. It was really hard for me to deal, I had loved him so much and never thought this would happen! It was like a repeat of my life, just like what happened with Drake. A month after we broke up, I found out I was pregnant! I was so freaked out, because we had both used protection and I had no idea how it happened! I found out I was having another girl, I was so happy and so was Lilia! She had always asked me to give her a little sister, and of course I was glad to make her so happy :)

Little Kailyn was born on February 10th, 2012 when the twins were almost 2 and Lilia was almost 4! It definitely changed my life drastically, it was so hard managing a 3 year old, 2 1 year olds, and a newborn! Those first few months were definitely tough! It got easier when Lilia started school in the fall, she was 4 and going to half day full-week pre-K! Alex and Bradean were 2, they were really crazy but still my little baby boys, and Kailyn was still a little baby, but I loved her to death! Now, my life is so busy but I wouldn't change anything for the world! Lilia is 5, I can't believe how big she is! She is in half-day full week kindergarten. Alex and Bradean are both 3, going to twice a week, half day pre-school. I miss them so much, but it makes my life easier! Kailyn of course isn't going to school, she is 1 and a half now! She is walking around and talking, I can't believe how fast she grew up, it's just crazy! I just turned 19, and I am combining my 3rd and 4th year of college classes in online design, I am going to start my own website design company! I definitely have a lot of school work, but I want to get done college as soon as I can because I need to support my family. Drake has no involvement with Lilia, he just gives 50% of his income and all. Danny has a little more involvement with Alex, Bradean, and Kailyn, he comes to visit once a week and gets the 3 of them every other weekend! Danny and I aren't considered friends, but we are cordial with each other, we kind of have to be because of our kids!

There is also one more thing about my life, I'm pregnant for the 4th time! I had a one-night thing with a man Joey this past winter, and I am 36 weeks pregnant, that's 8 months! Joey is fine with it, he doesn't care at all, I mean he doesn't love me and I don't love him. He does love my baby though, it's his first child and all! He wants 50% custody, which I'm a bit wary about because I don't love him and not sure that I trust him with my baby, but I'm sure everything will turn out fine. I am due in a month, but my doctor said he doesn't think I will make it that long! I am having a baby boy, and he will most likely be Andrew! It was one of the only names Joey and I could agree on, it wasn't my top choice but I still love the name, and of course I love Andrew to death.

So I'm Jess Ardia, a single teen mommy of 4 (almost 5!) and that was my story.
