My Daughter Evangeline Mary is beautiful and here, and my Husband and I are so overjoyed to have this little Angel in our lives. I hope all of you are feeling the same Love in your lives, as I have never felt more.. Fulfilled is a good word! Her 2 month appt is on the 8th of July, so I will let you know how she is growing, she is my little chunky girl, I love her full cheeks, will be putting new photos up soon, :-)

Hey, I'm preggo for the second time, but I miscaried last year, so this lovely little girl will be my first actual Baby! Her name is Evangeline Mary, and her nursery is almost finished, we are so excited to meet our little girl! Well, that about sums it up for now, so have a nice day.

Ulgh! I am starting to feel too big for life. My husband makes fun of me every time I have to `roll ` off the couch, or every night when I wake up 3-4 times a night to pee. 12 weeks to go... And my 4-D is in a week and a half! My husband was deployed to the desert for all my previous sonagrams, so this will be the first time he see `s our baby girl. He is so excited and neither of us can wait. Gotta run love to all. pregnancy

Woo Hoo! all I needed to complete my nursery was a rocking chair, but I couldn `t find one that I really liked,... so I bounght one and tore it apart and re upholstered it to match the decor and now everything is perfect! I kno, I am an extra dose of crazy lately- I blame nesting- But yah 4 me!

Thursday, 21 Feb
And now a new thing for me to freak out about today- Fuzzy vision, light sensitivity, headache- So I called my doc, talked to a nurse, and she said not to come in until I `ve taken Tylenol.. Only I `m already at work 4 the day and have no Tylenol here, so I have to wait until I go home take the freakin pills and wait to see if they work on the headache before the doctor will see me. I hate this crap...

Thursday, 21 Feb
AND ABOUT TWO SECONDS AFTER THAT MINI-MELT DOWN, my co-worker is running to the store and is going to pick me up some tylenol!!!

Thursday, 21 Feb
And so I went to the doc- low blood pressure, braxton hicks, anemic, exhausted- so if I don `t get some sleep soon they will prescribe me Ambien- NE one heard anything bad about it?

Monday, 25 Feb
Grrr... am sick! as if life is hard enough right now my nose is running and my throat is sore. Got my 4-D sonogram yesterday! She is sooo cute! She has her daddy `s nose and full lips, and my high forehead... Lol, we are so excited! This was the first ultrasound Hubby made it to, as he was in the desert, so he was more excited than I was to take a look at our baby girl! Love to all, TTYL

Tuesday, 26 Feb

So I am kinda throwing my own baby shower as the girl who was suposed to went on a 2 month TDY. I didn `t realize how taboo it was until now, but it is too late to change it now, the shower is this Saturday, all the games are ready- all the goody bags and prizes are done as of last night, all i need to do is clean/decorate Fri night and get the food out and pick up the cake Sat b4 the party! Yeah I am neurotic, it is all good!



Wednesday, 27 Feb
Happy day! I slept so well last night, woke up briefly 4 our lil earthquake and a potty break- then slept thru till morning! I feel fabulous and energetic, I so need to sleep more often! So hard with this belly, and leg cramps, and heart burn and having to pee all the time... But you all kno the feeling! Love to all! Hope your having Good Days too!

Monday, 3 Mar
Baby shower was Saturday. Went off really well. Men BBQed, women played with all the babies, everyone had fun, nothing bad happened, will put up pics when I get them. Got some of the cutest outfits and blankets and all sorts of lil bitty things! Can `t wait till she is here to enjoy them too- ie- spit up all over the cute lil thingss!!!

Tuesday, 4 Mar
So last night finished washing all the baby things in Dreft and folded and put away... Hubby got tired of me holding up all the cute lil bits, but put up with it pretty well. I tried to explain to him that I don `t get to ignore the fact that we are going to be parents, or forget that I `m preggo- I have this extremely agravating-at-times belly with a creature that is constantly kicking me in the ribs these days! Oh well, I guess men just can `t understand, and he gets bored with my constant chatter about our daughter...

Wednesday, 5 Mar
Well now have started in on buying the stuff on my registry that I didn `t get at the baby shower! Still need about $350 more stuff, so next pay day I will finish getting everything. Guess that is good as I may be having her in about 5 1/2 weeks! 38 weeks sounds awaesome to me! Sorry to those who feel we should strive to keep our babies in as long as possible, but I am DONE. I `m 4 `11 ` and have already been told if she looks like she `ll be over 8 1/2 lbs she `s going to be cut out! And a scheduled induction at 38 wks is better than a caesarean. Yah- 5 1/2 weeks! SO excited CAN `T wait to see her and see past my belly button again! Those were listed in order of importance of course! I think I will print all pthis up when this is over and put them away for her to read when she is preggers in, oh, I `d say 35 yrs or so.... Lol, Have a Fantastic day all!

Monday, 10 Mar
So I added this to the 32 wk page, but figured I would put it up here too, as it just tickles me to death! LOL~ I have to share this! Haven `t been dying my hair since I `ve been prego, and was walking thru the store and paused to glance down the hair-dye aisle. Hubby goes `Finally! ` What?! ` I respond~ he goes `Well Hun, it `s been ages and your roots are showing and I `m bored with this color. ` Right as I was about to light into him, I realised that these were all reasons I had given him in the past for why I HAD to dye my hair, lol, he was parroting them back to me! He `s Trained! I was so impressed that I let him pick the color~ I am now raven-haired!

Wednesday, 12 Mar
ARGH!!! Just got back from my 32 wk appt, which I had at 33 wks cause doc was booked- then I get there today and end up seeing the doc I specifically requested not to see again- She is a total ditz and takes forever to answer a ? which she doesn `t really even answer in the end! Even my Husband was rolling his eyes the whole time- She gave us both a headache- and all of my carefully planned written down questions remain for the most part unanswered- I am so frustrated and irritated! Also, am not going to bi-weekly appts yet, they will not see me again for 4 weeks! The last day of my 36th week- christ, what if I go into labor by then, I `ll be one freaking day away from being considered term- such bull shit- if you don `t like my language get off my page- this is turning into an all out rant. Fucking military hospitals overseas- I have no other options in health care, can `t switch doctors, there is a good chance I will never have even met the doctor who will deliver my baby- and if anything were to go wrong they have nothing to fear as I am not permitted to sue their sorry asses. There are one or two good docs there, but there are also alot of incompetants who are military docs cause they couldn `t get a job anywhere else~ Really builds your confidence in them, HUH?! Sorry, but in such as PISSY mood!

Thursday, 13 Mar
So still a lil stressed about yesterday, as the doc also told me I am measuring 2 wks small, but at my last appt I was measuring large... So yea... But today I get my pre-natal massage- 4 more hrs! I have been looking forward to this all week, I just want to relax and hopefully she will be able to get my back into some kind of shape! Lol, so sad that my hubby won `t do his duty and give me massages everynight~ but this will have to do!

Monday, 17 Mar
So close, yet so far! I want this baby out of me, I want my waist, my energy, I want to roll over in bed without grunting! 3 weeks one day until full term, then it is game on! Everything and anything to get her out, I will try it~ Walking, sex, spicy food, pinapple, accupressure, you name it! Lol, just venting a bit, I am so ready for her to be in my arms, not my belly!

Tuesday, 18 Mar
Had my first contractions yesterday. They were painful and from the top of my stomach to my pelvis and all the way around through my back. I was in the shower when the first one hit, and all I could think was holy shit, I `m not having this baby! But we timed them- they felt like an abdominal/through the back charlie horse- and I only had 3 in an hour and a half so we didn `t bother with labor and delivery. I went to bed though, I felt like crap! And all better today, but it really brings it home that baby will be here soon!!! But I can wait a couple more weeks, I want to be able to bring her straight home when she arrives, no NICU!

Wednesday, 19 Mar

Tentative Baby Timeline- Already taking Raspberry leaf & Evening Primrose oil~ Apr 7 36 wk appt + sex, Apr 8 37 wks + sex, Apr 9 Baby Basics/Lamaize + sex, Apr 10 spicy food pineapple walking + sex, Apr 11 trampoline & castor oil & nipple stimulation + sex~ Apr 12 Labor and Baby!

Lol, If it works Horray! But so many ppl tell me that you can't plan your labor~ Well I'm sure as hell gonna try!!!

april 10 2008

Had worst doc appt ever! Stupid bitch completely ignored my questions, side stepped every inquiry, dashed every attemp to gain any insight into MY pregnancy. Acted like I was just too ignorant to understand even if she took the time. I am just so done with military health care, I want to smack the shit out of hewr, I hope I have this baby b4 my next appt. At least then I wouldn't have to see those condescending pieces of shit again. I am 37 wks already, and wont be seen again till i am 39 wks, she didn;t ck my cervix, didn't tell me my measurments, didn't ck the position of the baby, told me it will all be cked at my next appt, which as I already mentioned, IS AT 39 FUCKING WEEKS!!! I have now been seen 5 times in my entire pregnancy, and if things go my way, I won't be seen again~ Lazy ass quasi-physicians who have their heads so far up their asses.... ULGH! I am just so angry and disapointed and just pissed off that there are no alternative options for me to look into~ OH and teh L&D at my hosp is now under construction, so there are only 4 beds, all in one ward, with only one bathroom to be shared, and now I am no longer looking forward to my delivery as I thought I could labor in the private shower, ect, cept now I would be fighting off 3 other women, in a so not sanitary shared shower, OR if the beds r already taken, I will have to drive 1 1/2 hrs away to a city I have never been to in a hospital I have no idea how to find to deliver! I hate my hospital, I hjate my doctors, and I hate this super shitty situation!

15APR08

So ready for lil girl! I am hurting today, no sleep, back and ribs and pelvis all HURT.... I am hoping she will be out b4 Sunday, as I am scared she will show up on 4-20~ So don't need that bad juju, and the 20th is a full moon... I am hoping to have her this wk tho.... I will try everything! I did the castor oil thing this past weekend, not nasty or painful like ppl said, just didn't work for baby. Which is good I supose, that was what I liked about it, if baby isn't ready she won't be forced out by it. So maybe Friday I will try it again.... Tonite will prob give nipple stimulation a try again. Yesterday after work I cleaned my bedroom completely! The thought behind this being, the nursery has been ready for months, but the baby will be sleeping in our room for the first serveral months, so I had to move the basinette, playpen, diapering stuff, burp cloths, blankets ect into our room. Good thing our bedroom is HUGE, cause it all fits really well, and we also have a small couch in there so I have somewhere to sit with her. Also showed Brad both bags and the correct car seat to grab for the hospital. This is important because we have one american car and one brittish car. According to the law, the american car can have an american car seat, but a brittish car must have a brittish car seat. So depending on which car we take, we need to take the correct car seat! Well, Everthing is ready Baby! Head into the light!!!

24 April 2008

So had doc appt yesterday, Loved the new doctor! But bad news, GBS positive, but the lab tested for sensitivities and found an antibiotic that will work that I am not allergic to! More bad news, cervix is thick n closed, she tried to do a membrane sweep, but couldn't get her fingers up there... One thing tho, in attempting to shove her fingers thru my closed cervix, she apparently dislodged my mucus plug, lost it a couple hours after my appt!!! Yah Me! Lol, seems like everyone else lost theirs weeks ago, so I am a lil behind, but still really excited to have seen that nasty glob!!

7 May 2008

Sooo, 8 days over, nothing going on with the cervix, still high, closed and thick... Baby is floating, no indication of her coming on her own. Day after tomorrow I go into L&D for a NST and amniotic fluid check, growth scan, and we will schedule my induction then. I am hoping same day! But most likely monday, so so much for having her by Mother's Day... GRRRRR>>>>>>>>>>>>

Did you get a CD with your digital camera? If you did it's more than likely software where you can edit the pics. That is what I use to make em black and white and all kinds of stuff. I have so much with it!!


brandi0881 - 6 hours ago
Yea, that's why I try to do them myself!! Screw paying all that money! She ain't gonna care when she gets older...LOL!


brandi0881 - 6.3 hours ago
I love them too! She is such a happy baby! I got her pics made today, or should I say pic! My SIL and I took Addi and her two kids to get their pics made. The chick only took one of Addi and one of all 3 of them by themselves! I was so pissed! We spent $110 in ten minutes! My one pic better be freaking awesome is all I gotta say!!

Hi! You're right though, babies happen whenever THEY feel like it! lol It's ok., we couldn't be happier! My hubby's only gone for 4 months-ish so by mid October he should be back, I can't wait! I'm about to hit my 3yr mark next month and my husbands been in for 4. I'm Services and he's Maintenance too! (Comm/Nav) Well congrats on your beautiful baby girl! TTYL


johna - 14.6 hours ago
I just read your post about your MIL. WOW she is a psycho! That would have pissed me off too, so tell DH you are NOT overreacting. She is the one who is unexceptable. I am glad for you that she is gone!


embobower - 16.6 hours ago
Hey, I´m from Norfolk but live in Spain now. All my family are still in Norwich!!! Small world!


ladobruk - 18.5 hours ago
Thanks for the info. How did you increase your supply while still going to work, are you pumping like crazy?


SMiller - 21.4 hours ago
I guess. That's what most of them have said thought that had happen, him not drinking enough or something, and honestly that's what I thought or at least prayed for. But they found all these symptoms for other stuff. And no one has said if his heart murmur has got worse or not. Just grrr.... Thank you!


flickmonkey - 21.8 hours ago
lol your comment made me laugh lol thanks for that. Hows your little Evangeline doing? x


newbiemama - 27.7 hours ago
Hi milmom, No problem at all I have moments like that a lot especially with high stress hormones and work. I'm glad your pumping is getting better. It's pretty tough but the pay off of a healthy babe is worth it! Night shift ughh...


brandi0881 - 30.2 hours ago
Yea that does totally suck! But I guess I can understand it! My day has been good. Addi has been really good. She has slept an awful lot today. I was wondering if she felt bad, but she doesn't act like it. I joined the gym yesterday and I worked out today. It felt good!


brandi0881 - 31.2 hours ago
They just come and test you at your house??


johna - 32.5 hours ago
Well at least it's not so hot right now. It's in the upper 90's. Yesterday it was 100. Hotter than Hell!!!! And it's so muggy you can't breath!


johna - 33.4 hours ago
Oh I would just die without air conditioning! What is the temp like over there? I would love to vistit there sometime. I bet it's beautiful!


SMiller - 34.1 hours ago
Hey! I guess you can say my hubby's neurology appointment went well. I just don't think anyone in the Navy has a clue about anything. The doctor wants him to go back to the cardiologist and last week when we saw the cardiologist he said he didn't need to come back to him. He really didn't give us any useful information. He said its good that they haven't found anything because that means nothing is wrong. I think that's bad, I mean something could be wrong. Grrr.... maybe its just doctors in general that can't give answers. But at least for now he's ok.


johna - 42.6 hours ago
My parents use to party at florbama all the time! We have family in pensacola, so they would go down there alot. When do you get to come home for good?


brandi0881 - 44.1 hours ago
LOL..yea sorry I went to sleep on ya! My munchkin went down at 7pm my time so at 10 I figured I better try and get some shut eye!


gabymom - 44.4 hours ago
I am so sorry to hear you re having problems with the CDC, I know they can be anoying at times with they rules(I used to work at one) hope things get better. By the way Gabriela has been slepping 8-9 hours per night for a week now. Yeah!!!


tatianamommy - 45.4 hours ago
Thanks for the advice! Do you take your temp every day?


newbiemama - Tuesday, 22 July
sorry... one more thing... noticed your from the UK have you tried Motilium it's offered there. ok that's it I'm off.


newbiemama - Tuesday, 22 July
opps sent to fast... not done...

anyways i agree we all should be prould of what we can supply. I just try and encourgae people who might be confused about how supplementing impacts your supply. I pump though and it's the hardest thing I've ever done I'm also on 20 pills of Motilium to increase my milk supply and have a baby that won't latch... ughhhh it's hard we should all be very prould of ourselves.


newbiemama - Tuesday, 22 July
Hi! Just read your message. I was a bit suprised by it. I don't remember making derogatory comments about supplementing. I'm an exclusive pumper and a supplementer myself so I wouldn't have meant anything negative toward suplementing or those who do. Sometimes tone and tact can be taken differently over the net but I really didn't mean to offend anyone and I was quite taken aback by your message.
