May 23-24 2005 The birth story

I was 10days late and so I was enduced at 7:00a.m. We started Pit and I was walking. Things where moving but not very fast. I only dialated to 4cm when I started at 2 so I was thinking A-going home B-c section. They took me off the pit around 9:00p.m. and my contractions continued on there own so they gave me a pill to help me sleep. At 2:00am I woke up in the recliner and woke my husband up and said get the nurse he sat up in the hospital bed and pushed the nurse button. I had felt alot of pressure and thought my water may have broken. She came in and said I leacked a little but not enough to consider it a raptured membrain. I was a little sad but she gave me the option of checking how many cm I was and I just said I will wait 4hours or so when my docter comes in. So in the morning around 7:00am or so my docter came in to check me. His exact words where we have a problem. I thought oh my God the baby's breach. But no I was 7cm and thined out. I was going to have this baby very soon. My contractions were getting harder and I was very tired and still had a little wase to go. My parents showed up and I wanted to get in the tub. It was the best I felt no pain and was able to relax. Since I had no pain meds. After a few hours my nurse said we have to get her out now or she will have the baby in the bath so I got out and was 10cm. I pushed for 1 1/2 hours but couldn't tell I felt like my pushing wasn't doing anything so asked for the mirror and then pushed over and beyond what they expected. Not knowing the sex for sure. I was very sure it was a girl. When she came out Quentin didn't say its a girl he instead told me her name Clarissa Elizabeth Painter. With some complications she was in a stablet for 7hours before I could hold her to feed her. Her embilical cord broke and she was only inches away form dieing but didn't. My 9lb 10oz baby girl made it and was apcar scores of 8 and 9 with complications. I went home after a few days and we began our new chapter.

Mommy On October 15, 1987 and Me on March 18, 2008

July 5- I had an AWESOME 4th of July. I didn't like the LOUD noices in the parade but I got more candy he he he. I really liked the Teddy Bear he waved right at me. There was a goat and horses. Those were my favorite things. I also really like the music. We got home and it was lunch time and then nap. I only wanted to take an hour nap as always. Mommy then wanted to take me to the park where there was food, a play ground, games, and fun things to do and some shops as well. I wanted my face painted so we had to stand in line for a long time but we are glad we got there when we did because the line got really long after we got there. It was hard waiting but mommy said that you have to wait sometimes. Then it was MY turn. I wanted a butterfly and it was purple, pink, and blue with some silver glitter. I really liked it and since I did so good mommy let me do spin art too. We got home to pick up Kimberly and Daddy. We then went to Mama Mary and Papa Ray's. We waited for Ericka and JIMMY ( I really like Jimmy) ANYWAY we ate and then went swimming in the pool. We also played some games. We did a three legged race and I chose Ericka to be my partner. Mommy was then with Jimmy (daddy was holding Kimberly) It was so much fun and Ericka and I WON!!! Then I did side walk chalk and played a little bit of ball with the grown ups. It was fun. When we got home mommy took me to a friend of her's house and they had three horses there. I GOT TO RIDE ONE OF THEM!!! She was sooooo pretty and reminded mommy of the first horse she ever rode. We will post pictures soon. I hope I get to go horse back riding more!!! I was so tired Kimberly and I were in bed for fireworks but maybe next year.

July 1- I'm really happy that this week I've been having LOTS of play dates. I will post pictures soon. I'm still working on talking better. When I get upset I slur everything together and sometimes I talk so fast you can't understand what I'm saying. I'm really working hard and repeat EVERYTHING my mom says. I'm really smart but just not talking as clear as I should be. I will have it in time.

June 12- I'm so proud of myself! I went poopy on the potty all by myself. It was so exiting mommy got so happy and gave me a TON of praise so I will hopefully keep it up. I'm also counting to 20 with a little help and I'm learning NEW songs. My favorite one right now is Where has my little dog gone? Its fun mommy made some fun actions to go along with the song too. I really like going to the park mommy takes me everyday when we go for our walks. I also love to ride my Trike i'm doing so much better than last year. I'm going to a wedding on Saturday I have been to quite a few. I'm exited even though its durring nap time. I will have to bring Elle so I might be able to fall asleep if I need to. I'm really exited about DANCE coming up in September. I'm not going to school because we don't have any close by that will take 3 year olds but mommy has LOTS of stuff that we can do at home. I'm already working on cutting, coloring in the lines, writing letter (mainly my name) and tracing shapes, and conecting the dots. I really like to learn new things and enjoy helping mommy around the house. Doing dishes, laundry, dusting, ect. Its getting late and I have a fun day tomorrow daddy is getting the pool filled! So Kimberly, Zavier, and I get to go swimming!

Things I'm teaching Kimberly

I'm really loving the BIG sister job!!!

May 26- Today we went to the zoo. I had alot of fun and got to feed some of the animals. I also went swimming at Mama Marys again today. I love spring and summer its so much fun. I'm really enjoying being 3 I'm potty trained, and tomorrow I go to the dentist and the docters. So we will have to see how everything checks out there. Well I've had a busy day and i'm pooped so catch you later!

May 24- There is nothing like your birthday and I had a blast. There was games, Cake, and gifts. I'm so happy to have new things. My mommy can't wait to post pictures of my birthday so keep a look out for those. My favorite thing about today was that my Aunt Megan, Uncle Fred and Cousin Alina suprised me and my mommy at the party. It was so nice to have them there and Aunt Megan's birthday is tomorrow! She's got to be the best Aunt ever she live's 3 hours away but she always takes the time to come and see me. Well I have some more things to do but pictures will be posted before next weekend! A few of my gifts I got early because they couldn't make it to my party so these are the one's that made it to my party.

April 4- I have been working on some new things and improving others. I love helping with everything and have been doing more things to help mommy and daddy everyday. Mommy calls me eagle eye like her mommy called her because I find everything that we are looking for! I can't wait for Pre School and Dance later this year.

March 24- I'm just sitting here helping mommy plan my birthday party and we have been working on invataions. My birthday is in TWO MONTHS I'm so exited. A theme has not been figured out yet but we are getting closer to one if we will have one. I had a great time at easter and got lots of different things. And saw lots of my family. I don't get candy very often so Easter is really fun because now there is candy in the house. New pictures will be up soon.

March 13- Well lately I've been asking mommy about dance. I really want to be in dance and I have been learning the bunny hop dance. Well mommy told me that on Spring Break (next week) on Tuesday I get to go to DANCE! I can't wait I hugged mommy and we might be going shoping this weekend to Target to get hopefully get shoes but if not I will wear one of mommy's old outfits YEAH! I'm also exited that from tomorrow and next week to be able to play with Bella. My ear is red but I tell mommy that it doesn't hurt But she's a little worried. Anyway we are keeping our eyes on it and hopefully tomorrow it will look better. So I will let you all know how Tuesday goes :)

March 8- I have pretty ears. I did choose blue the September birth stone. I smiled the whole time and didn't say a word. When she showed me the mirror I couldn't stop looking at myself. And by time my birthday come's around I will be able to change them out. Mommy and daddy are working on my birthday party and what other gifts I'm going to get. Here are some pictures

Before and after

March 7- Well tomorrow is a big day for Kimmy and I we are going to get our ears pierced. Its an early birthday gift for both of us. I can't wait I want mine to look like mommy's but so that means blue but I might change my mind. And after we get them pierced we are getting ICE CREAM! I hope I don't cry that bad but I know Kimberly is going to cry because she's not as big as me yet. So anyway here are some new pictures of me cooking and modeling. Mommy will post pictures and update how it ALL went when she gets a chance.

February 27- It was very icey yesturday so Zavier didn't come over. Mommy, Kimberly and I all slep in :) It was alot of fun. Today is going to be great I get to go see my Ma (grandma Laura daddy's mommy) I don't understand whey she didn't want to take Kimberly to this is the second time they have asked for me and not Kimberly. Mommy said that next time she will say Clare can't but Kimmy can. Hopefully that will work. I've been picking up my messes and things are going great for me. I was going to go swimming but since Ma is coming to get me before dinner Mommy said that I have to wait till Friday.

February 21- I'm so happy that mommy is staying home. I told her not to go back to work and she said that she won't for a LONG time if ever. I miss my Mama Mary but I have seen her every day just about for the last 2 1/2 years. I can't wait for the weather to get nice so I can wear Dresses, shrots, and skirts ALL THE TIME!!! Thats the best part of Spring and Summer. I went swimming with mommy yesturday and we had so much FUN just the two of us. I can't believe that this is going to be the way things are for now on.

February 18- I've been sick since last Thursday and mommy has been really busy. You know what the coolest thing has happened Mommy stays home and Baby Zavier is at our house now. I want to help soooooo bad but mommy says I have to get better because we don't want to get the baby sick. I can't wait to open my Valentine's day gifts and mommy says that here really soon we need to go shopping to Easter dresses and shoes. I get a new hat and glove's this year. I'm not really doing anything new other than the fact I sometimes tell mommy and daddy that I have to go poop but I sometimes forget. I'm really close though and have #1 down to an art. Well I better get back to resting and keep a look out for new pictures.

January 16- Well Kimberly and I went sleding today we had alot of fun. Mom took as many pictures as she could since she was pulling both of us. Kimbelry and I laughed and smiled alot. Daddy told me we are getting more snow tomarrow and mommy said that we can go out again tomarrow I can't wait and like always I'm sure mommy will take pictures. I can't believe that my birthday is in 4 months YEAH I'm having two party's one for family and one for my friends. Well anyway better get going.

January 6- I took up the offering with a little help form my daddy today at church. My mama Mary and Mommy teared up because I'm getting So big. I got to meet little Zavier for the first time today. Mommy starts watching him in February! I told him that I'm going to hold him and play with him. I sealed it with a kiss. Everyone said smiled and said that was so cute. I also went potty on my own then told mommy and daddy. I'm going to be potty trained this year hopefully before my 3rd birthday. I can't wait till next Sunday I might be able to take up the offering again.

April 16, 2007 My birth story

On April 15th a Sunday my mom went in to get enduced a little early. It was at 8:00p.m. and the started mommy on cyrvadril and that worked to well so they flushed it out of her system. Still haveing some contractions they gave her a sleep pill and desided to start the pit in the morning. At 8 in the morning the docter came in and mom still was at 2cm witch is what she was when she came in so they started the pit and mom was getting ready for a long labor again. With things moving along but getting stuck at 3cm Mama Mary and Papa Ray showed up this day also being there wedding anniversary. So mommy broke down in tears a few times thinking she was going to be in labor for two days again. Around Super time they broke her water at 5cm. At that point in time Mama Mary and Papa Ray wanted to go get somthing to eat being told that I would be born in 3-4hours puting my delivery time at 10or11. After they left mommy couldn't find her center and broke down and asked for the drugs. The nurse left and came back I have to check you first. Mommy was now at 7cm and going fast. Daddy left the room to call his parents and call mommy's parents to get back. They where also trying to get ahold of our docter. The drug docter came and asked it Mommy was going to sit up or lay down. Mommy couldn't sit still and felt like she had to push and yes she started. The nurse was saying NO NO NO DON'T PUSH. but mommy couldn't help it. She was beyond 10cm and my head was coming out. Daddy came running in and the drug docter said ok lets do this and our nurse said Its to late for that now. Then daddy was saying STOP PUSHING MOLLY SHES CROWNING. Mommy was trying so hard not to but couldn't help it. The docter finally showed up asking why nothing was ready mommy's nurse basically said we didn't have time. With the bottom half of the bed still on and mommy laying flat on her back the Docter came running in yelling OH MOLLY DON'T PUSH HUNNY WE ARN'T READY YET. With that said He tuned and knocked the tray over with all the steral tools on it. Saying OH CRAP meaning OH SHIT the baby nurse got a new tray for him Ok Molly now push. So Mommy being a good pusher pushed hard my head was out and the cord was around my neck STOP STOP DON'T PUSH. Mama Mary came in and got the camera ready the nurse looked at her and said don't touch the tray. Mama Mary not knowing the funny story behind the tray looked confused and wondering what all was going on. Mommy didn't even have to push and I shot out, and placed right on mommy's chest. Daddy told her my name Kimberly Rosanne Painter and then Papa Ray came in. Dr.Melhause said are you cutting the cord to my daddy and He said no He is talking about Papa Ray (aka Mommy's dad who didn't get a chance to cut any of his kids cords and really wanted to but for different reasons he couldn't) He cut it and mommy held me for a little while giving me tones of kisses they weighed me and I was 7lb 10oz. 2lb smaller than my older sister. Thats my story and we couldn't be happier with it.

My big sister Clare and me

This is Kimberly's golden pig and its also her first piggy bank.

July 1- So I have been walking more and more everyday. I'm still crawling for most of the time but I'm so close. Mommy guesses that I will be a pro by this time next month or sooner. We aren't to worried but its just so crazy how I just went for it. I really like walking to mommy and daddy and a FEW toys but still. I'm not talking as much as I used to. I have stopped saying mommy but my sister did the same thing. When my mom says say mommy I just reach for her. I say Hi, dada/daddy, and a few things here and there. I'm just a one of a kind toddler like all toddlers lol.

June 19- Today I was standing all by myself and I took a step to mommy. I fell right after but I'm learning that I should WALK not CRAWL. Mommy can't wait to help me out with walking more tomorrow. We are hoping the by the end of this month or July I will be a pro and RUNNING!!! Mommy should loose more weight then too lol.

June 12- I'm so happy that I can understand when mommy tells me things. She tells me to go get the ball and I go get it. I have alot of favorite games such as Rolling and Throwing the ball, Putting toys in the buckets, pushing my walker, talking on the phone, and playing music. I really like two books one plays music and the other is a picture book. I'm saying lots of different things Clare (sounds like Care but still) ball, doll, book, mama, dada, no, thank you (both saying and signing), dog, baba (for my blankie) bye bye and a few others. I said umbrella too. I can say a few things in sign language too. Please, thank you, bye bye, more, and all done. My mommy is very proud of me. I'm saying ALOT more than my sister was at this age I think its because I have my big sister helping me too. I'm not walking yet but stand on my own here and there. I'm only on my sippy cups and like to do things with my sister. Play peek a boo, patty cake, sing songs, and DANCE. I'm a dancing machine once the music turns on I can't help but start to dance. I'm exited on Saturday I'm going to a wedding. Its during nap time but if I have my blankie I should be ok. Well thats all for now. NEW PICTURES ARE COMING SOON. There is even one of me standing all by myself. Mommy, daddy and Clare are so proud of me.

May 26- Its been a month and 10 days since I have updated my page. So lets not waist any time. Today we went to the Zoo! I had a really good time I really liked the monkeys and Lions. But I chose a cute little stuffed puppy to bring home (no there where no puppies at the zoo) I fed a goat but didn't like that to much but its because he startled me. After the zoo we went home I took a nap then headed off to Mama Mary's for some POOL TIME. But the water was a tad cold still for me so I just hung out dancing to the songs that Mama Mary, Aunt Megan, and Mommy were singing. When out of the blue I clearly said Umbrella when standing up next to it. I said it a few times and then kept dancing. When we got home we ate then went outside to play. I was standing up ALL BY MYSELF! Mommy didn't have a camera on hand but she hopes to get a picture tomorrow. All in all its been a busy day so I'm off to bed. Enjoy the pictures...

April 16- YAY! I'm 1 now. I have 8 teeth and almost walking but it might be a few more months till I have it mastered. I had a great time and love all my new things even the cloths. I'm having my second party Saturday and I can't wait maybe I will be running around by then Just Kidding. I'm taking my time and getting things right. I don't really like my sippy cup and miss my bottle but mommy said that depending on how much I drink during the day. I'm saying lots of things and I can say thank you, and please in sign language and I blow kiss's.

A few of my gifts I got lots of musical things, Cloths, a Jewlry box, and an earing tree.

April 3- Well I have been having a runny nose and drooling like no other for the past week and its all because my 7th tooth came threw on the bottom row. I can't believe how once that tooth came in my nose stopped running and I'm not drooling that much. I'm gettig closer to walking everyday and I will have it to an art here in the next 2-3 months.

March 25- Easter was great I had alot of fun and Mommy will be posting pictures soon. I'm very happy that I got to see alot of my family. I'm going to be 1 soon and I'm pulling myself up onto everything and starting to pick up the pace on my crusing around holding onto things. Now that mommy figured out how to post videos she will be posting more as they come.

March 16- Well I'm a month away form my first birthday and so mommy is working on my party. Its hard for her to believe that I'm going to be 1. I can't wait to dig into my cake. After Easter weekend Mommy will post my 11 months pictures and Easter pictures that way they can be put on the computer in the same folder. I'm getting big and Pulling myself up on everything but my crib because Mommy always has to wake me up lol. But yeah its really fun. I'm even starting to walk across the couch but I take my time just like everything else I do lol.

March 13- So here I am almost 11months WOW and I have been taking my time in doing alot of things. I'm the baby of the family and so I have been trying to go slow so that mommy can enjoy every moment. But I finally did it on March 9th around 6:18 I pulled myself up to the couch. I really wanted mommy's cell phone so I pulled myself up and got it. NOW I'm pulling myself up on to everything and anything. I do fall but I've been walking around the couch still holding on and when I fall I just climb right back up. I'm sorry mommy but your Baby Girl is getting older. I'm getting closer to walking too. Mommy is thinking I will be walking after my first bithday but we will see. I'm exited that I get to play with Dess tomorrow. He's about a week younger than me.

March 8- Well it wasn't that bad. I have pretty pink earings and I only fussed a little bit. Not a single tear. I also got McDonalds because it was to close to lunch to get Ice Cream. But when we were at Clair's we both pick out somthing we liked and I chose a penguin and Clare picked out a new brush, mirror, and hair ties that came in a cute pink bag. I haven't messed with them nor have I cried. I was tiered so when we got home I went right down for a nap. Mommy is trying to get a picture of my earings but the flash it to bright and she gets to close so hopefully we can get some good ones today so that she can post them sometime soon.

before and after

March 7- Ok ok mommy first told me I was going to wait till I made the choice about getting my ears pierced, but change of plans because she just can't help herself. So tomorrow I'm getting my ears pierced either with a dimond or the pink stone. I know I'm going to cry but as long as mommy's there I will be fine. Wish us luck! Here are some pitures of me that mommy took. Now that she stays home we always have a camera in our face but I love the camera don't you? Well here are a few swim lesson pictures that Jimmy took of me with Sam (both mommy's friends) and me with my hair in piggy's for the first time and then after my bath I must have thought somthing was funny and then the way I sleep in the far corner of my bed.

February 21- My mommy is so fun and having her around is great. We are working on my arm muscles, walking, and sign language. I'm love my swim lessons and mommy's friend took pictures of me in the pool too. I'm really happy and smile everytime I notice my mommy has the camera. She always makes me smile.

February 18- I hate being sick but I'm not as sick as I was BOTH my sister and I are getting better and hopefully are over it very soon. I'm 10 months and a few days mommy didn't get on for very long on the 16th cuz she was taking care of Clare and Me. But I'm very interested in the new baby that is coming to our house now and I must say I'm a little jealous when mommy holds him and not me. I know she still love's me though and all three of us have to take turns with mommy's attention. I LOVE having my mommy home but like everyone know's I'm the BIGGESTmommy's girl EVER. So I start my swim lessons with Sam tomorrow since mommy has dance and daddy has to be with Clare but I love Sam and hopefully someone will take pictures of me so mommy can post them. Well hopefully we will update when we are back to 100%.

January 16- I'm 9months old and weigh 16lb 9oz 29 1/2 inch's long. I have 4 teeth and More coming. Today we went sleding and I had a blast. It was so much fun and the little hills where the best. Mommy took as many pictures as she could since daddy was at work. But he got home and was there for a little bit of it. Mommy has been making jokes that i've been out as long as I was in lol. I have changed so much and will continue to change for the better.

January 1- Well the year I was born in is over but I still have several first left. Its nice knowing that the future is looking good. I'm so glad that I was born and I love my mommy so much. She's my favorite mommy ever. I love my big sister and she's going to show me how to do alot of new things in the new year. I can't believe that I'm going to have my first birthday in only 3 months from January 16. I'm ready for spring so we can start going on our walks I love being outside.
