She's here!!!!!!!

Hanna Marie was born November 12th @ 3:48 pm..... 7 pounds 5 ounces, 20 1/2 inches long.....

Her birth story

well i had been having contractions for a couple months before she was born but never did anything..... on the wednesday before i had her, i was having consistant contractions but they wouldnt go regular.... friday the 9th was my dr.s appointment and i was 2 1/2 cm and 40% effaced.... it kind of discouraged me..... i felt i was going to be pregnant forever!!!! well on sunday the 11th i went to the hospital cause i was having contractions every 5 minutes for like 2 hours, by the time we got in the car and got down the street they were 2 minutes apart and my husband got scared cause the hospital was 30 minutes away.... well we got there and i was fo sure having contractions but it didnt make me dialate and on a scale of 1 to 10 the pain was like a 6..... so they gave me a shot for the pain so i could go home and get some rest well that "pain" medicine made it so bad i couldnt walk at all through the contractions..... my husband had called the hospital like 2 hours after they gave it to me to see how long it would take to kick in and they said 30 minutes... i was like yeah right.... i tried to get some sleep but i was having contractions every 5 to 6 minutes and on that same scale of pain it was like a 20!!!!!!! so i was up all night crying through contractions cause i didnt want to get sent home again, well i took two baths and the pain never went away not a bit. so at 10 in the morning on the 12th we decided to go back cause i wanted to die from the pain ..... we got there and checked in and they checked me at 12 that afternoon and i was at 4 cm... so they kept me and got the guy to do the epidural.... it was like 1 something when i got that and at 2 something my dr came in to brake my bag of waters and i was already at 6 cm... he said we will have a baby by 5... well i watched tv for a little bit and the epidural was only working on one side so they had to flip me sideways so that fixed that... at 3 something i told my husband to go get the nurse cause i felt pressure..... well they came i was complete!!!!! i pushed through a couple contractions and out came my baby with a head full of hair (unlike my other daughter lol).... the whole time i was in there all my nurses were great and they kept telling me how great i looked and pregnancy was good to me... lmao.... anyways theres my story for those of you who wanted to know.... we are home and everything is great with both m beautiful princess'!!!!!!!!

I have one daughter she will be 4 in september..... we are expecting another girl!!!! my husband wasnt too happy when he found out but he'll get over it... im a little upset my doctor said he wasnt going to measure the baby the baby through ultrasound for 8 more weeks so that sucks.... it makes me a little nervious cause i wanted to know if she was healthy but im sure if he thought there would be he would do it sooner!!!!!!! We finally agreed on a name for our second daughter. her name is Hanna Marie!!!!!

July 21, 2007

Angel finally got to feel her little sister kick!!!!! i was so excited.... and so was she!!!

July 25, 2007

So I went to the dr. today and i have to say im a bit disappointed.. I asked him about my rash on my chest from when i went swimming and he said that it was too early to tell what it was and that it "could" be pox... he said just to use hydrocortsone. which i had used it in the beginning but it didnt help... he said to call him if it gets worse, and it already had before i have had it 3 times......

August 6, 2007

i need to vent... where to start is hard but i will try to make it sound normal.... my daughter will be 4 in september and she has her own big twin size bed in her own room and sleeps there all night... which is way better than say last year when she still slept in our bed... well she still has us put her to bed and wait till she's asleep until we leave... well my husband and i do think its ok to a certain extent wanted us to put her in her room and just let her cry until she's asleep... well this is hard for me because i am what you call a very attached mother, when i was growing up i didnt have a mother she was a bitch and left for some madn when i was 7.... so i feel like i owe it to myself and my daughter to be there no matter what.. well last night we put her in her bed and we left well she freaked out and me being the mother i am and being pregnant cried too. he was getting frustrated and i was trying to tell him when it comes to stuff like that he cant get frustrated and take it out on her cause that will just make her even more uncomfortable and not want to do it... so i told her that if she went to bed like a big girl by herself that she would get a big girl suprise... he says i was wrong for "bribing" her but i look at it as a reward... and how do you think the night went... well when he tried at first she freaked out but when i calmed her down and told her she would get a reward she did, she went to sleep like a big girl..... so am i wrong for feeling like i owe it to myself and my children to be there no matter what? i dont think so.... am i wrong for rewarding her? i dont think so, cause i know we rewarded her when we were potty training her so...... why does he think its ok to make me feel like shit?

August 21, 2007

I am so extremely proud of my daughter as you have read above we have been "weaning" our way out of her room at night.... well last night she went to sleep without us being in her room or in the hall way... i am so proud....

October 29, 2007

its been forever since i updated my page.... well i have been having contractions for a couple weeks already i hope that means it will be sooner..... i only have 17 days left but i have a strong feeling it will be sooner... and its so weird everyone i know has the same feeling.... even though with my first daughter i went 6 days late but she was also measuring smaller..... this one measures bigger everytime..... so far i have gained 17 pounds and i hope not to put on a lot of weight these last few weeks..... it seems as it gets closer all i want is bad food.... lol..... but it has been better since i got my medicine, i can keep my food down now!!!!! im still nervous considering we dont have everything we need but i know we will make it....

thanks for the advice

I also can understand your issues with separation anxiety- both with this new venture which will lead you to stopping nursing eventually in a few months (or even years if you prefer) and your issues with sleep with your daughter. CO-sleeping is a beautiful thing- but i can understand why you want to continue to do it. I had a really hard time letting go too- but it doesn't make you a bad mother. You are a fantastic mother just because you care for your kids! Remember that! Doing something b/c its in their best interest rather than yours is what defines motherhood! Remember also that they will love you as long as you continue to be there for your kids needs. Teaching them to eat or sleep on their own is part of motherhood and will lead them to become good parents too one day! Just keep up the cuddling and kisses and the rest is easy!

i should also add that its actually the iron that they need to get from cereal. As you are breastfeeding, they apparently stop absorbing your iron around 6 months- which is why you need to supplement them every day with cereal which is iron-fortified. Iron is necessary for the development of Red blood cells, which carry oxygen to our cells. So you continue to breastfeed, give the vit D drops and add cereal 4-8tbsp a day, starting with 1 tsp a time if its first feeding. Gradually work your way up to 1/2 cup per feeding. Should be offering food 1-2 times per day. Start with cereal and if baby is still hungry or taking food once finished with 4 tbsp, intro 1 new food every 3 days to 1 week. Start with something savoury- like cooked green peas or yams, sweet potatoes, potatoes etc. Try fruits- banannas, pears, apples (cooked) etc. Avoid high nitrate foods- beets, carrots until after baby is 6 months. Offer finger foods 6-9 months. Pieces of bread, muffins etc, whole fruits, veggies etc. But start first with rice cereal and then go to barley, oats etc, brown rice or even QUINOA- an ancient grain rich in protein. Can also offer well cooked plain pieces of chicken, lamb, tofu. I'd wait to start fish for a while.

if she's not too hungry then thats ok. Is she receptive to taking the food when you do offer it? Also, if your formula is iron-fortified, its less important to be exact to start them on food. But they do start to need the extra calories around this time and its also all about consistancy (on your part) to teach them to eat. It is a learning experience. You should continue to offer fluids as well- as in breastmilk- and mix the cereal with breastmilk or formula too. I still nurse him just as frequently. Right now he'll be 6 months on the 19th of the month and I give him 3 tbsp or so of cereal (dry mix+ Breastmilk-1-2 oz) and then nurse him either before or after. He eagerly laps up the food and then is still wanting to nurse. So you aren't 'weaning' them necessarily at this point. I had a hard time with it as well, b/c it does cut into my time to feed him and its way more easy to nurse as I don't have to prepare anything. Still- its what seems to be best for him and its keeping him happier longer- and i get more playtime with him this way :) He has to grow up at some point- as much as I dislike seeing how he grows so fast. Now he has 1 tooth and rolls/scoots places and i just want to turn back the clock. My favorite times to nurse is in the evening before bed and first thing in the morning. Thats when he wants to cuddle and sleep while he nurses. During the day he wants to get back to playing and tends to be quicker at it- so giving him some food is making him even happier than he is normally and i love it! Plus- its so hilarius to see him covered in milk or try to eat! I got a feeding set that looks like a frog from Ikea and its got the best spoon that i've tried so far for scooping food and actually getting it in his mouth.
Your family is beautiful btw!

 What a happy family...you girls are adorable!!!

I still breastfeed my son and he is 4 1/2 months old, i pump 3x a day at work and get about 12 to 13 oz a day. I feed him cereal mixed with Babyfood about every other day. I know that the more frequently you pump your body will start to make more milk. if you are ready to give up breastfeeding I say go for it, you did it for 6 months and that is great. you have to do what is best for you and your baby even if that means giving her formula. Good luck!!

Thanks for the comment regarding the Emily Elizabeth question....I was wondering if anyone else associated that name with Clifford!


captshelley - Wednesday, 9 April
Men say they are so simple but that's a lie. If they are so simple I think I could understand atleast one man.


kater - Wednesday, 9 April
lol, i know EXACTLY what you mean! my husband felt quite put out when we had our daughter, mainly because of this exact thing! we worked it out by - expressing bottles for him to do feeds when he was home (she didnt like the bottles so much as she did boob though!) and when it came to feeding solids, my hubby fed her, especially when it was time for the deserts (he wanted to be the 'good guy') and we tried to make it so he was the one to be first to respond to her when she cried, and he did a LOT of the general playing too. it is really hard, if you feel really strongly, there are heaps of websites promoting the benefits for both mother and baby you could show him. also there are HEAPS formula-bashing sites, too. well what ever your decision, think a lot about it first, once you milk goes, it dosnt come back......also, bribing is giving the reward BEFORE the behavior, rewarding is giving the treat in RESPONSE to a behavior. ps i went through the same bedtime trials with my daughter,and i feel the same way about mothering too!

Jess G - Thursday, 7 Feb
awww, I'm glad I could help..I've just happened to hear about it...and what you were describing sounded like it! Glad you got everything taken care of! =)


Baby3OnWay - Thursday, 31 Jan
I lost all the weight right away. I did with the first one too!! It all hasn't really hit me other then being so exhausted the past week. My mom took Kloe a few nights and Travis one night to let me get some sleep in. My Hubby is shocked but great support. We have pretty much told everyone but his partents Because the didn't react to nice about the first two so the third one so close... Kinda scared to tell you the truth! Everyone else is excited. Have to get a new vehicle, new place, postpone my course 4 more months.. no maternty!! CRAZY.. but God has a plan for everyone and I'm sure it will all work out! Going to be busy busy.


Baby3OnWay - Friday, 25 Jan
Hey there... yeah we were. I actually saw the Dr a couple days ago for my '6 week' check up cause at 6 weeks I got my period. SOOOOO we had sex using condoms but ONE TIME it broke; like they say it only takes once!! My Dr gave me birth control on wed, but my hubby figured I should take a HPT, so I took it to humor him... JOKES ON ME i guess. I am heading to the Dr today to find out risks and stuff involved in having a baby so soon


Baby3OnWay - Friday, 25 Jan
OMG... hey there been awhile since we have talked. I just found out that I am pregnant again 5 weeks to be exact and I am freakin out HARDCORE cause this is WAY TOO SOON!!! ahhhhhhhhh I'm seriously on the verge of a meltdown. I had to tell someone, WOW
