My baby is due March 17, 2008. My husband and I have 7 children. 4 boys and 3 girls. A daughter-17, a son-15, a daughter-11, a son-9, a son-4, a daughter-2 and a son-16months. I have been induced with pitocin with all 7 children. I had an epidural with all 7 also. I plan on an epidural with this baby too! We are pretty sure "we're done". We joke because every time we say that we end up pregnant again. My body is tired so "Eight is Enough". We haven't thought of a name for him yet but then again we never do until the day I'm leaving the hospital and we've had enough time to try the names on the baby. My pregnancy so far has been pretty uneventful. Just feeling my age. Aches and pains a little more pronounced with each one I suppose. I hope he (the baby) is ready for the household he's being brought in to. It can be quite overwhelming sometimes.

It sounds like I'm going to be induced the first week of March. My last baby was 9lbs6oz and their concerned about the size of this one. Not sure whether to be relieved or nervous. I guess we'll just wait and see what happens.

January 2nd, 2008

Saw my doctor today. She has given me the option of March 4th or 5th to be induced. It's two different hospitals so I have to decide which one I want to go to. Looks like my glucose test was good. Won't know for sure for a little bit. As always, a little too much protein in the p**. :) Blood pressure is great, nice and low. I've gained 22 pounds so far.

Hi Everyone!! It's really late and I just finished this whole music thing. Whew! I hope everyone likes the changes I made to my page. It's easier to read now I think. Anyway, most of my music is just stuff that I like but some has some meaning. Little Wonders is simply my favorite singer doing what he does best but first and foremost it's my song to my Nathan. You'll Be In My Heart is my song to my 15 year old. My Heart Will Go On is from my current favorite movie Titanic and my song to my lost angel, Shannon. Sept of 2002. I Hope You Dance is my song to my 11 year old. You've Got A Friend In Me is my song to my 9 year old. My Wish is my song to my 4 year old. In My Daughters' Eyes is my song to my 3 year old. Forever Young is my song to my very first baby. My 18 year old. Where Are You Going is "our song". We went through a rough time in our relationship and spent the night downtown, alone one night and saw Mr. Deeds, the songs from the movie. It was just an awesome night and really gave us good memories. I haven't found a song for my 20 month old yet, but I will:) I put the Wiggles in there because he likes them!!

I had an ultrasound yesterday afternoon. My little guy is measuring at 33 and a half weeks!! Another big one. I'm actually 32 weeks and 2 days (yesterday, anyway). His head is measuring 34 weeks! His daddy says extra brain for a really smart guy. :) Their guessing him at 4 pounds, 12 ounces. I saw the doctor right after and she said we're still going to look at the 4th or 5th for induction. My legs are hurting something awful. Really achey (sp?), getting harder to walk too much. My doctor said he's pretty low. Gravity stinks!! They should just float, dontcha think???

Had my 36 week check up today. My doctor was checking my cervix for dilation and discovered a foot there instead of a head. A week and a half ago it was a head!! So, now, we have a Footling Breech baby. We will be going back in next Wednesday to see if he's flipped. If not they will try to turn him if we want them to. If it works they'll induce me right away. If not we will be scheduling a c-section. I've never had a breech baby or a c-section, I'm terrified!! All of these babies and on the eighth we're going to have issues. She told me not to go in to labor!! That it could compromise the baby, with the cord and all. Now, how am I supposed to not go in to labor? Not that I ever have before 40 weeks before but now you never know. So, there's another reason for me to panic. If everyone could say a little prayer for us, that would be great.

February 27th, 2008

Good News Everyone!! Baby has turned !! Thanks so much for all of the prayers, thoughts, responses, crossed fingers, advice and wishes!! Now, we just hold our breath and hope he doesn't flip back around. As of today, I'm 1cm dilated and my cervix is soft, which has never happened in the past until at least 40 weeks. So, my doctor has scheduled my induction for next Wednesday the 5th at 7am. Yay, one more week and my little stinker will be here. Then I can have a little talk with him about how he scared his mommy.

Nathan turned 2 months old yesterday!! (May 5th) He had his two month check up. It was soooo sad. He had 3 shots in his little legs and one oral vaccine. He was pretty cranky today and didn't have much of an appetite. He's doing better this evening, though. He got his first buzz cut tonight too. Now he's like Daddy and two of his big brothers!!

My very first "baby" on prom night.

Thanks! I guess I'll avoid the direct sun with her. At this stationary age they would be easy to keep shaded. I was also just thinking that by Labor Day they will be going on 6 months old. That's crazy! Makes me want to hold her even tighter:)

It sounds really wet... congested... its so bad that one coughing session has about 8-10 coughs. If your instincts tell you to check it out, then you should...


pawsitvemama - 30.6 hours ago
It is a little scary. Adalynn's appointment with the specialist went great. They are counting her developmental stage as 3 and a 1/2 weeks. Because that is how old she would be from her due date. along those lines she is developing great. The specialist made it a point to let me know they all develop at different rates. But she is doing well...fewww I feel a lot better. It is really hard hoping your child will be able to do and devlop like all the other kids their age :)


nead - 31.4 hours ago

OH YEAH I have been having issues with Shawn since he was a year old. Just been a honry cuss since he could walk. Plus he never recovcered from me getting pregnant when he was 1 year old. He still needed Mommy and I was deathly ill and I could not be what he needed for those sick months. I had to quit nursing him as well at 13 months (because I was pregnant and lost 32 pounds in a month with both nursing and being pregnant), so he had a tough time with it.

Its really hard when they start acting like lunitics not to join in! Just wait til they are your age and you want to punch them or kick them in the butt and they are way to big to spank! My advice is discipline now! Work very very hard now with him. Get him in counseling if need be, but try your hardest to curb it now! I tried my best but just did not have a clue what I was in for. URRGGGHHH! Pulling my hair out daily. Pisses me off because I have a new baby that needs most of my attention not a older child.

Well I hope you are having a relatively better day than yesterday. Bless you....I know how hard it is!

Hey no he a lil boy lol but dont worry its and easy mistake esp when he wearing green lol ill post more pics of him in blue :) U have ur hands full id like a big familey too i come from a family of 7 girls im the 7th :)


danamommy08 - 37.5 hours ago
Aw thank you very much. I'm sure everyone has said this, 8 kids, wow! Lol. I'm barely hanging on with the one I have! Your family is gorgeous, I'm sure you're very proud.


danamommy08 - 47.2 hours ago
Hey thanks for the pic comment. Yeah I have a bathtub for him but since his umbilical hadn't fallen off yet my mom suggested we give him a sponge bath in the sink. Lol I was too afraid to do it so I made my mom while I took pics. He tolerates baths pretty well now except when I pour water over his stomach it takes his breath away...its so cute, lol.


nead - Tuesday, 13 May
hey thanks yeah im not very concerned but will keep monitoring it.....ps nathan is adoreable :)


luvmy-buninoven - Tuesday, 13 May
Oh you know I will! :)


startingoverat37 - Tuesday, 13 May
Amy I hope you were blessed on Mothers Day by all your chillens! What did you all do? It must be great having such a big family. I would enjoy it very much. Though I just could not be that sick as many times. I hope everything is going well. We are doing fine here. Erin is napping in a bassinet next to me. I accomplished that. She was waking up the second I would lay her down so now I have a second bassinet downstairs and she will nap in it. Yah! Hope all is great in your life. Talk soon.


breezee - Tuesday, 13 May
Thanks, I will burp her more, I am always patting her back when she is on my shoulder, maybe I need to pat a little harder. I think I am going to find a new doctor.


pawsitvemama - Tuesday, 13 May
Hey there I just read your comment. I too have apremature daighter. She was born 7 weeks early and seems to be developing much slower. It's so hard to gauge what she is supposed to be doing because all ababie develop at a different rate. Tommorrow I have a n appointmnet for Addy. A child developmental specialst. She is going to be running some tests because addy still is not tracking objects. We'll see.

I was told to start her developmental age on her due date. So chronologically she is 10 weeks, but developmentally she is only 3 and 1/2 weeks. Maybe your son is the same?


luvmy-buninoven - Tuesday, 13 May
I wish I could hug you LOL. It works like a charm!! The second (or two if he's stubborn), I sit him up straight like that I get a big burp. THANK YOU! You have saved me from a fussy baby. :)


srm31 - Tuesday, 13 May
So since you are the veteran mommy on here do you have any nap time advice for me? Mine is only napping if she is sleeping on me these day. In a way I love it but I need to be able to put her down to do some things....


girlwitstyle - Tuesday, 13 May
hi, i saw your comment about sleeping with baby. i sleep with my baby too, but he is in a positioner thingie which means i cannot roll on him (i get scared about that). thing is he is outgrowing it and started to wriggle out of it now too.
how does your baby sleep with you? do you have something he sleeps in? i love sleeping with him and don't want him to move to the crib until he is six months...


newMAMAtiff - Monday, 12 May
thank you so much...=] i will tell her


luvmy-buninoven - Monday, 12 May
I think I understand it... I'm going to give it a try, thank you so much! :)


MzMommy2B - Monday, 12 May

my7thbabyduemay20th2008 - Monday, 12 May
Awwww I am glad she had a good night. I know, Clare is a trooper, I could not believe it when she sent me a message this morning, if I had glasses I think I would have put them on to make sure I read right, lmao!!
Sweet dreams you two
xoxoxoxoxoxo


my7thbabyduemay20th2008 - Monday, 12 May
It is Monday afternoon here, but it doesn't matter at all, it means a lot that you sent it to me;)
You are around 17 hours behind us. I loved the slideshow of your daughter in her Prom gown, she looks so gorgeous!
Did she have a good night?
I also saw your little man, boy he has grown, is he two months already?


my7thbabyduemay20th2008 - Monday, 12 May
Thank you so much sweetheart for the beautiful Mothers Day graphic;)
