Baby Rose is HERE!

Rose is the most amazing gift I've ever gotten. Russell and I are in love with her and even more in love with each other than ever. She's an amazingly sweet baby and is in perfect health. We couldn't be happier with her.

Pregnancy

December was the happiest month I can ever remember. Russell and I got pregnant, found out, and shared our very happy news with friends and family right away. I was showered with love and congratulations and was downright giddy most of the time. The nausea and exhaustion were more than I ever expected in the first trimester, but I'm still as happy as ever.

It's a girl! Rose Emiliana is due to arrive on August 28th!

The 2nd trimester was great, although I was tired. I was so nice to see my tummy getting rounder...and I got to feel her move every day. She responded to Russell's voice, my students, and avante garde jazz.

When trimester three came, I got so tired. Some days, I slept 20 hours! I thought that this is why people got sick of being pregnant. That was until I got diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. For the first few days, I was so worried, angry, and confused. I couldn't figure out what to do and how to keep Rose safe. Well, within days, I started feeling better. I changed my diet right away, and after consulting with a nurse and dietician, I started being more active. I got a blood meter, and I haven't had one elevated blood sugar since I've started! Yipee. I'm now feeling better than any other part of my pregnancy...excluding the weirdo pains.

Russell and I just finished the nursery. My favorite part was when we created name art for over her crib! Now, we're just waiting to meet baby Rose and take her home.

I never take meds but I didnt care at that point! Thank god I read this morning that Claritin was OK!

alishaB - Tuesday, 7 October
Just spoke to Jess! Shes my hero!! No epidural & she said it was manageable:) She only pushed for 15 minutes. Amazing. Im so inspired!

I got a glimpse of whats to come. i was up ALL NIGHT with allergies, finally took a claritin at 5am and what do you know!? I still have allergies! I suffer terribly from them but last night was a joke. Bunny was hacking and puked on the carpet as well & here i am just absolutely wrecked. Poor Charlie he calls me a baby elephant with my nose blowing although I probably dont sound like a baby at all.

I do have lots of those cloth diapers to use as burp cloths. I too hate stinky bodily functions, especially chunky, white puke! I spit up tons when I was a baby so I'll probably get payback.
Off to acupuncture this morning. Hoping he can help with the allergies.
Alex was born last night at 7.15 he's 8lbs!!

I think she has your eyes, but sure does look like her daddy!!

pjs1071 - Tuesday, 7 October

How sweet!! I wish my mom still had my gown....Erin has her own, I hope to see her baby wear it one day.

pjs1071 - Tuesday, 7 October

She is so cute...look at those big eyes!!! She's not going to miss a thing!!!

pjs1071 - Tuesday, 7 October
I actually just added new pics when you get a chance to look!!!

shaunac - Tuesday, 7 October
oh and nope...no time with Carlos. But my friend did come over last night and I got some adult interaction...thank God. Do you guys live in a house? I honestly would rather have an 800 sq ft HOUSE than this apt. LOL

Thank you so much! You are so sweet! I love the shower gel, gonna have to fit in a shower today to use it! Can't wait to take a bath... The hat and mittens were so cute! I can't wait to watch the DVD... You are so thoughtful, especially to send gifts to someone you barely know! I'd give you a hug if you were closer!

LOL, I have enough stomach for 2 people! I have my 6 week check up next Monday. I'm hoping I'm healed up and good to go for exercise and normal life. I'm dying to do some crunches, anything to get rid of the flab!

I have to go out today, gotta feed Jaeden then book it to get everything ready. I'm going shopping for some clothes, then going out to lunch. That should be fun, but I'm sure I"ll be POOPED. Hopefully I don't get puked on! Yeah, the puke down the boobs is gross... Warm and oozy! I was feeding Jaeden the other day and he peed on me ( I think he was pointed "up" in his diaper), right on my crotch so it looked like I peed MYSELF. You suddenly get that warm sensation... Ewww... That's when I had to go buy another pair of pants!

It's easy to make stock... Just use the bone, some celery, some carrot, a few seasonings, and cook it for a couple hours. It was pretty tasty! I made a soup with garlic, carrots, celery, white beans, and egg noodles. It was good! Made it big pot so it'll be dinner tonight too!

K, gotta go get ready, I have to leave in less than an hour! TTYL! Have a marvelous day!

holy cow ur boobs r gonna hurt. o it would b so nice to go on a long date. carlos and i were invited to a banquet on saturday night at a nice hotel in sac on saturday. it's a benefit banquet for the alternatives pregnancy resource center and the guy from the movie bella is going to be there and some congressman and some other important people. My church reserved a table and it's 100 bux a head but my church wants to send us for free cuz of our commitment to life and stuff....such an honor. all that being said...I can't bring ariella and i guess I would have to pump like a mad woman. what do you think? should I go?

LOLOL

To all: for some reason my blog isn't alerting me when I get a new message on them.. so if I don't respond to your message I didn't see it- I'm sorry (not sure why it stopped alerting) but I apprieciate everyone's comments

pjs1071 - Tuesday, 7 October
What a doll Rose is...that picture is adorable!!!!! Erin is actually trying to sleep 5-6 hours at night... We are hopefully coming to the end of a rough patch with her...We had to switch her fromula from Good Start with DHA/ARA to plain Good Start, I dont think she was tolerating it, plus she had HORRIBLE gas.. Poor baby, last Sunday was her Baptism, and by the end of the night (when everyone had left), she was screaming uncontrollably...I bought Mylicon drops and give them at every feeding, and she is a much happier girl (so is mommy!!) Erin doesnt go back to the doc until 10/18 for her 2 month checkup and shots...I am guessing she is pushing 9 pounds by now!! She is 7 weeks old today, where does the time go?? At her last appt (1 month checkup) she was 8 lbs 7 oz, 21 inches... I have posted some pics of her from 2 weeks until now...I hope all is well with you...Talk to you soon!!! Patrice

We might head to Santa Cruz, I'm trying not to over plan because I have nooooo idea what it will be like traveling with October. The pumping situation makes things kind of difficult too but I know my friend is going to come up to Fremont while we're there :) I think we'll probably hit up IKEA the last day we are there so that we can load up the truck and head home afterwards...I'm sure we could easily spend half of a day there at least hee hee. We are driving down on Saturday the 8th I think and probably coming back home Wed or Thurs...not sure yet...I should start figuring things out because this month is already flying by.
I did take pics of October eating, serioulsy, we take pics of everything too, everything...how can one resist though, I wish I were as photogenic as little October, ha ha. Tonight she totally fell asleep in her little chair while eating, I'll upload those so you can see!

awe I love your nursery, way cute, looks like you really loved working it, I loved designing our nursery too :)

shaynemarie - Tuesday, 7 October
Awe thanks so much, it is way more fun to take pictures of babies then anything else. My neighbors daughter is 2 months older then my daughter and I am going to take pictures and help her with a calendar too. All the props I got during off seasons so it is much cheaper, to get now. i just got large sizes cause I figured she will grow into them all. here is a link to see some fun photoshop pics where I made part of the pics black & white and part color: http://shaynemarie.shutterfly.com/
Stay in touch, let me know when you add more pics, I would love to see them, talk to you later,
Shayne

shaynemarie - Tuesday, 7 October
yep I take all the photos we prefer to take our own instead of someone else. It is trial & error, I am still learning how to use the camera. Let me know what you think of the calendar pics. I have tons of photos we made part black & white and part colored, my husband is a graphic artist so he is showing me how to use photoshop. If you have myspace of facebook you can see a lot of the pics there I love to try and share Ideas with others to come up with new things.

adlde - Tuesday, 7 October
aww, don't cry! lol!

I think when you share the bond w/ a child that you both created it is the most amazing thing!

It truly is a miracle when you bring a child into the world! not to sound cliche but life really does take on a whole new meaning!

shaynemarie - Tuesday, 7 October
thanks I love taking tons of pics of her because she like the camera and is really god natured so it makes it easy. We have over 6000 photos of her already and she will be 6 months soon...lol I took a ton of photos for the calendar project I did for all the grandparents for christmas, we are excited because the calendars come in tomorrow, so it will be fun to see, you can see the calendar pics on my blog "my calendar project" now that I am down with that I need to come up with a new idea...lol

adlde - Tuesday, 7 October
I told my husband that I wish I could re-live the day of Madelyn's birth over and over and he asked why, I told him it was because that was the day that I met the most beautiful little girl in the world.

After I delivered her and even into the following day my husband just kept telling me that he was so proud of me, that I did such a good job keeping his daughter safe while I was pregnant and w/ GD and that I did such an amazing job bringing her into the world! He's so sweet!

I love him more and more each day! I think our bond has got better since the arrival of our daughter!

samlib - Tuesday, 7 October
