Hi everyone! Some of you I know, others I don't but I'm here to tell you that I'm having a really hard time what to put on my page and not just with the changes happening around here (Great job guys!!!) but also that I'm in a funk right now, I'm not sure what you would call it either then a funk. I'm going with complications with my pregnancy at 27 weeks I was diagnosed with preeclampsia, its believed that it could have been caused by a calcium deficiency found 9 weeks earlier at 18 weeks.I also have Anemia high blood pressure, sweelling, sudden weight gain, diziness and headaches and I've found sleeping is the only way to get through bedrest. I'm expecting a girl I hope she gets here safely! I have two other daughter Hayden who is 4 years old and Sophie who is 2 years old, I'll be updating their pages soon! Well Since i'm in the rambling mood now, I'll tell you that I'm happily married to Zack since May 25th 2005. My first born is not my husband biological daughter but was shortly adopted after our marriage, she was two years old. Both girls were conceived through using contraception and I'm I think I'm the lukiest mom ever. Zack and I have always wanted a semi big family, you see Zack has six sisters and 1 brother and I come from a family of four children total ... soo naturally Zack and I agree'd that if the timing was right and we wanted four children then we would have four children but now the BUT I have two children from zack who are girls (expecting a girl) and my worry is what IF he has his fathers gene's .. I could be completley heriditory and we could try and try for a boy and have four girls, six girls .. I'm almost positive he'd try talking me into it. Four girls I would LOVE ... I would any child god chooses for me, but I really want a boy and Zack isn't sure on adoption, I'm sorta now looking for a ways to introduce him to the idea .. Me too I have no idea where to stop! I'm not sure its a road we'll take but I'm not sure if four girls is our future or not, I think i sound horrible by saying this but maybe I'm suppose to adopt ... maybe ... Well I think I'll keep this up and possible add to if from time to time while making a journal sort thing as well!

My Pregnancy ... Complications in all

Tuesday, October 9th 2007 - I have a doctors appiotment bright and early in the morning 9am ... ha ha I know its not early when you wake up with the little ones at 6am, Like I would do if I wasn't on bedrest but I usually do anyways and can't do much and wake up Zack to tend to his loin. I'm not sure what to expect from my doctors appiotment, I'll have blood work taken to check my iron levels and my kidneys, as always my blood pressure will be checked and who knows what else, possibly another ultrasound, I hope every thing goes well! oh ya I'm 28 weeks! lol I don't know if I mentioned that anywhere ... but I know you can still read it by my name..

Wednesday, October 10 2007 -- I had my appiontment today, I was really hoping for another ultrasound but no go on that one and my test results be back in a couple of days. I almost missed my appiontment I didn't want to wake up, I was having such a wicked imaginitive dream. I'll be seeing my doctor every week now. My appt. is October 19th... Oh ya and my blood pressure is still high today in the doctors office it was 170/90, I'm trying to keep it below 140 but I just can't seem too .... --Add On 12 am-- Well Today was an adventure and a half, Since I was up anways we decided to go for pizza, we weren't in the pizza shop for 20 minutes before we made our order to go and I felt queezy and grose, we went straight home (BP was 165/90) and we ate pizza and watched the movie Cars with the girls! I have one peice of pizza before giving up and going four soup.. it was grose compared to watching my family stuff there face with pizza, YUMMY pizza. GREAT PART of the day is that I'm 29 weeks .. I have six more weeks till the baby and I will be evaluated and we'll know if she'll be here soon or not, so far we have a shedualed c-section for November 21, 2007 but its not set in stone! I'm praying for atleast eight more weeks!

Tuesday, October 16 2007 - Home at last! The last few days have deffently been a dosey for our family. Friday, October 10th (2am morning of the 11th still friday to me) I started having lower back pain, and not the usual aches and pains I really started to feel horrible, the I started feeling nasiated, I knew right then it was going to be a long night, I called my mom to come watch the girls and Zack and I went straight to the hospital. The time we got to the there I started vomiting, and I had a slight fever, my BP was 180/90 and It was almost as if I didn't know what I was doing minute to minute. There was no time to fill out papers, I was sent straight to the mat-ward and in preterm labour. My membranes were intact but I was given brethine to stop my labour contractions. I was hooked up at the time seemed like a hundered different tests. Ultrasound ensured the baby was doing well, and for secondary precautions (I'm told) I was given a stress test. The babies heart beat was strong through out at 160 give or take a few. As I'm already on bedrest due to preeclampsia even concidering the baby was fine through out our senario I'm now stricted to bed for the remainder of my pregnancy, I'm instructed to lay on side for 6-10 hours a day and refrain from getting up for anything. Zack and I are starting to get worried with what our future looks like, the girls are hard to manage right now and we can't relay on family for the next couple of weeks, we have discussed hiring help but cost is always is an issue. For now the baby and I are doing well, we were realised yesturday at noon and I've been pretty chummy like latley but very happy that baby is safe! I couldn't believe that i was let out so early but I guess the nurse told Zack and thats common? I've never experienced a pregnancy like this one.. Maybe she's a boy .. kidding!

October 17, 2007 -- I feel VERY silly right now but because half of my friends online and who know who are all have seen this page, so where better not to write that Zack and I are heading back up to the hospital, we are currently waiting for my mom to get back with my dad and sister, It's been two days and I feel just rancid, I don't believe my contractions have fully stopped and when in dout, DON'T ... is my motto! Zack is getting a few things together, my pillow extra stuff .. u know. Calm is not in vocabulary right now! There for its time to head off and put my house shoes on...

October 31, 2007 -- HAPPY HALLOWE'EN EVERYONE! - I've almost made it into the safe zone, I'm 31 weeks and I'm doing o...k.... I'm not sure what to call this stage of pregnancy, I lay in bed 24 hours a day which leads to 168 hours a week ... FUN HUH! The best part of it all is that baby is doing wonderful and she's growing nice and healthy. Today I am streaching the rules just a tad I'm helping the girls get ready for trick or treating and carve the pumpkin that we should have done a week ago lol. I just wanted to update my page a little and let everyone know I'm still doing great, baby is still comfortable in my uterus (I'm not) and she's healthy! but I still think she's a boy

HE'S HERE! I would like to introduce our new handsome son Keaton Avery to the world and all my friends here online!

Keaton was born November 11, 2007. He was delivered at 33 weeks due to my preeclampsia which had moved into a gestation 3 and I suspected to get worse. You see I had been hospitalized a week earlier because my blood pressure had risen very high, it was very unstable for a few days and the only “cure” in the end was delivering the baby for his sake and mine. Before I get into the story more I wanted to jump in really quickly and tell you my doctor had given me a percentage of 89 out of 100 that he was sure the baby was a GIRL... I have two girls already I was thrilled but when she came out a HE I was in the beyond excited, happy and all together just emotional as anyone else would be.

Anyhow Zack and I decided it was best that we went along and delivered, We had decided not to deliver till November 20, 2007 if there was no complications of any kind and we was able sustain that length of time our baby would born then. I was told that the baby would probably need to be delivered earlier then that so we had made a date to induce for the 15^th (I really wanted to wait) We had hoped for a vaginal birth but my blood pressure had continued to rise and the need to deliver the baby now!!!! it was now time to deliver and it was far more important then waiting for the 20^th. So at 4:44am Keaton Avery was delivered at the Royal Alexandra Hospital at 3lbs 2oz and 17 inches long. He is now 9 days old and weighs 3lbs 11oz.

Each day is a knew adventure for Keaton and us, everyday we pray we find nothing wrong or something doesn't just spring up, he's our miricale and everyday is a new exciting adventure we can't wait to grasp.

Dececmber 1, 2007 -- Keaton is doing great! He's almost a month old!!!!! We are excited! He's doing well and weighs 4lbs 2oz as of TODAY! He isn't gaining weight as fast as we hoped he would, he needs to be 5lbs pounds before they discharge him from the hospital, but I hear there are ways around that and its been done before so lets cross our fingers. He is feeding on his own and I've started breast feeding twice a day and we are hoping by friday that he'll be on the boob full time. I've been pumping like crazy latley and I'm exteremly tired, I even miss my girls, I see them everyday but I sitll miss them, Well just a small update this time.

December 8, 2007 -- The Baby is doing AWESOME!! He's now weighing 4lbs 4oz and he's almost ready to come home, I sent pictures out to some of you, if anyone else is interested send me a private message with your address and I'll send some off when I have time. Breast-feeding is going well and I am now feeding him part time with the breast, however we are still gauvage feeding because I refuse to introduce him to the nipple just yet. He's a little up and down on his weight but besides that he's healthy and by wednesday we will know when we can take home hopefully, just waiting for his doctors evaluation...
