5/13

So we had an appt yesterday. She's 26 & a half inches long and is weighing in at 17lb 2oz. She had some more shots and it was OK not too much crying. She was happy for the most part of the day but started a fever last night. Oh and the DR was saying that you should no longer feed the baby if she wakes up at night they need to learn night time is for sleeping and to comfort themselves. I just can't do that. I'm still breast feeding but we started food as of right now she eats cereal and fruit for breakfast no food for lunch just milk and a veggie and fruit with milk for dinner. And of course milk in between. But she only has had squash , sweet potatos, peas(OMG she loves them) ,and carrot and for fruit just bananas and apples. We've only been doing this for about 3wks and we slowly brought more in and are still. She's already got it down when the spoon is coming open big LOL. I'm going to put new pic 2MRO.

So we went to the dr. yesterday for her 2mo apt. Oh she screamed. My poor baby. But she's growing like a weed. She's in the 98% and the dr said she the size of a average 6mo old. That's crazy. But she's started the cooing alot this past week. I think it's so cute. We also went to the derm and they said the hemengioma will eventually go away on it's own and by the time she's a teen ager it will be hard to tell it was ever there. Also if you can see in the pic she has a angles kiss in between her eyes. It's just a pink birth mark and he said that might never go away but may fade and only show when she gets upset. Well all and all the day went ok. I'm happy everything with her is great!

8wks 3/4

02-26

So this is my 2nd day back 2 work so far so good. OMG the frustration of working and breastfeeding. I have to pump every 2hrs other wise my ladys jump out of my shirt and the pain. But to take the time. I want to so bad breastfeed for at least the first 6mo but I doubt that will happen b/c it's so hard to drop what I'm doing and sit in a room all alone. Hopfully the milk supply will at least stay so I can feed when I am home. Her next Appt is 3/10. I can't wait. That is also the day to see what that growth is. I keep bugging my husband to put the pic of her on our computer so I can transfer them to my page but we have so much going on. We kinda wiat till the last minute to do everything so we are just now redoing our basement to our bed room and putting in a new bathroom. So needless to say he doesn't have much time for the computer.

My Birth Story

Well I ended up delivering on 1/08. I had a lot of problems and was in and out of the hospital for my kidneys prior to that. I was placed on bed rest from Nov till I End of Dec. Well on 1/07 I didn't do much b/c @ 4pm I was to call the Dr. and find out if they had room for me in labor and delivery to be induced. I had been having contractions for about 3 days prior but they weren't doing much. I was only 2 cent. Well I packed my bag and called @ 4. I was good to go in at 7pm. When I got there they put me on the monitors. I guess they didn't believe that the contractions had been coming for 3days b/c they monitor me to see if the contractions do anything themselves. Now I had told them that I need help I always get stuck at this point and my water needs to be broken. They ended up listening at about 11pm. So they gave me this stringy thingy in my crotch. They said it takes about 12hs to work and sent my husband home with my daughter. My mother and MIL stayed thank God. The nurse kept telling me to sleep and they gave me a sleeping pill thinking that the induction wouldn't work for hrs.At mid night they took out the stringy thingy b/c the contractions were to much and they broke my water. So by 1am I was ready But unfortunatly the Dr was with someone else and I guess no1 else could deliver. So I had to wait. I had group B strep. So I got to have the burning IV. Well I told the nurse at 2am if the dr. wasn't here in a min I was going to push and she'd have to deliver. So that's when my MIL called my husband. I ended up having her @ 2:23 am. My husband was about 10min late. I only pushed maybe 2X. Well SHE was 7lb 13.5oz and 20inch long.

My Big Scare

I had a real bad wk end. That started last Thuseday I ended up bleeding and having cramps so I went to the hospital they kept me over night b/c i was contracting but once they got that under controll they sent me home in the morning with a antibiotic for UTI. So I thought nothing of it till Sunday night when I was in such horable pain I couldn't stay calme. At about 6pm my husband rushed me to the hospital agian to find out I never had a UTI I have kidney stones in both of my kidnei's and had to under go surgery to have a stent placed in my left kidney b4 it went in to falure. Agian I started contracting and couldn't stop vomiting. I was so scared. They had me on morphine and all sorts of other drugs that I didn't want to have to take but had no choice. So I am home now and Just yesterday started feeling pain in my right side b/c they didn't do anything to that side I wish they would have b/c I have a feeling I'll end up back there doing the samething. Also they still wont take me out of work and the uroligist(sp) even suggested that they keep me out b/c of the stent and the pain is never relieved. I constantly am going to the bathroom and have to examin the TP each time I pee to make sure the blood is from my bladder and not the baby b/c of all the problems w/ contracting. The DR said they don't really have a medical excuse to keep me out of work but I say what more do you need? I am just scared that there dismissal of this is going to turn out bad. I finally have the energy to get to my computer. I should be on and I'll keep yall updated. Good luck to all. To all you pregnant mamas!

May,22

So here it is I'm 27 I was pregnant for my first while in High School. Graduation was so hot that yr. When my son was 9mo. found out we're pregnant agian. This time we decided hey lets get married.(we were going to anyways there was just no real rush) We figured the announcement could be we're getting married and I'm pregnant. It worked. So on 11/27/99 we tied the knot. Then 4yrs after my daughter was born along came my little devil. My children are the light of my life and if I were rich I'd be a stay at home mom. Some people say they work to stay sain. Me on the other hand love to be home with the kids. Unfortuantly the bills need to be paid. Well here I am agian pregnant and happy as can be I love to be pregnant. It's so beautiful. No sickness yet, well I never realy got sick with any of the pregnancys b4. Just a little blah. A hole bunch of lower back/butt pain.(WHATS THIS?) Boobs are growing and I pee all the time.

I don't care what ant1 says I am showing it's not that I'm FAT. My stomach never stuck out. For a while I though bloating and I think then Iit was B/C in the morning My stomach would be flat and pants were just a little tight on my hips. But now my belly is always out. Not huge but yeah people that know me are asking. Maybe I'll find out there is more than 1.I went to a U/S on 16th and they said the due date should be 1wk back and that there are several pockets of fluid. Maybe those pockets are sac and this wk when I go for my next U/S they'll see babieS. I know I'm so CRAZY!!! But never the less my stomach pops out.

I feel a little crazy this time around. I'm like an emotional rollercoaster. The dizziness just makes it that much loopyer. And I hate rollercoasters. I should be 7wk & 2days with a due date of 1/06 according to my LMP. BUT The doctors say NO I'm only 6wk 2days due date of 1/13. The funny part is for all of my pregnancys I've had them a week earlyer than the due date. I mean exacly 7 days. I guess I was also under the impression that between 4-10 wks U/S can be off 7days without changing the due. I guess it's not that big of a deal to some but to me it is. Exspecialy b/c I'm already showing. I feel so much better 2day knowing that my HCG levels are prity much on track. My next U/S is on 24th. I'm still a little concerned but hopfully once I get that done I'll see all is well.

Crazy*** that's how I feel. Better but still Crazy!

Just back from my U/S haven't heard from the doctor but the tech was great. She told me the baby is where it should be. The sac shows at 6wks 4day following last wks U/S to the date. But the baby isn't as big.

U/S can be off give or take a wk. And I'm take a wk agian. So new due date but not till OB agrees. 1/20!!! I went from 01/06 to 01/13 to 01/20 that's 2wks. Now you see why I'm crazy. The tech is recomending to the OB that I come back in 2wks for another U/S to measure the baby more accurate. She says there's a sac, a yoke, baby and they can definitly see the blood flow. So yes a heart beat( I an so HAPPY). They weren't able to get a reading but we saw it in color. So if this is so thenI've known by syptoms sence 4/26 and tested on the 4/30 and neg. But I knew I was. They said I must have gotten pregnant just before my missed period. I don't mind being crazy as long as my baby is in good health. And as it is right now my baby is great and we plan on keeping it that way.

June 1

So I had my appointment yesterday and It didn't go so well. The Dr. wasn't happy with my u/s. We are having another one done but not till 6/19 . I just feel like I'm lost. On top of that at my appointment dr was going to do a pap and the spectrum mad me bleed. Not much but any blood is enough to make me scared. Then she found a lump on my left boob. So I go from being worried to alright then agian worried. No one seems to have a strait answer for me. Dr. says she's not changing from my original due date of 01/06. And I need to start takeing 2 pern. vits a day. Along with tracking to make sure I'm drinking 8-10 8oz glasses of water a day. Eveyone says don't stress how on earth do you not? I mean you basicly would have to stop carring. I'm so mad b/c I haven't been able to enjoy this pregnancy at all. I really want to but I'm to scared to. If I start to get real excited things will fall apart. I think most people prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Last night my 2yo was sick. He was vomiting with the poops all night till I left for work this morning. My poor baby. I kept my older 2 home from school just incase b/c it came out of no where. So that means I got no sleep last night.

Then this morning my best friend called me and her boy friend of 7yrs. they have 2 kids and where suppost to be moving to NC next month. He's leaving her for another women. I am so mad at him. How can he do that to her? She put in her letter of resignation at her work just last wk and they've already have a replacement for her . And, he's known he wasn't leaving her for 3wks. I feel so helpless to her and She's a real good person. She did everything for him.

I guess this is life and we all have things to deal with. God bless you all.

JUNE 06

So I've been feeling real blah lately. My stomach has been off and hole body just aches. My son has been sick but I don't think It's the same thing. I have a meeting to go to today and just not up to it. And oh my goodness can anybody here do there jobs. I feel like the fall back person. They've all worked here for years I'm new but for some reason no1 knows how to do a thing. I can't wait till the weekend. I need some more sleep. I'm going shoping this weekend for clothes. I can't stand trying to find my longer shirts to block the fact that my pants don't button and b/c my boobs got so big the shirts that used to be some what long are not. I just can't win! :{

And I'm so hungrey I can't take it. There are just not enough different types of healthy snack foods b/c I'm sick of the same thing over and over. And I mean think about it we're a busy world so if someone came up with like a fast food chain that sold healthy foods they'd be rich. Most pregnant women want to eat healthy and in this world of diet come on you can't loose. I'd love to be able to say I'll just swing by Health Freaks( I made that up) and get a fresh fruit salad or fresh steamed veggies. UUUUUMMMMM it sounds SO GOOD!!!! I know I don't want to make it but I sure want it and sure as heck would buy it even if it was over priced. So if anyone out there reads this and has $ for real think about it. Becuase I'm broke but I'd waist my last few dollars at you place. LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

June 12

My posting I left on the 7wks about 12min ago was mean and I just want everyone to know that that is how I feel I probably could have put it in a nicer way. But why? I strong ly disagree with ab. So much that I've stopped talking to family members who've had them. That's my choise just like the ab was theirs. Today there seems to be aot of talk about ab and frankly I'm sick of hearing about it. This is suppost to be a time of life and happiness. There is nothing happy about ab. I'm sorry if you don't like it I actauly don't care. I'm not confused and I know where I stand. But like I've tryed to get acrossed in my own mean way enough talking about it and do it if your going to.

June 19

Hey I'm so happy final word is eveything is great. U/S went wonderful . Baby measures at 10wks1 day and u/s tech says I'll probably keep the Jan 06 due date. But u/s was showing 01/13 for a due date. It was so cute. The heart beat was at 167 and it was such a weight lifted. I hate water and really never want to drink it again.

So my old job that I worked at fired the Assistant manager that I couldn't stand and know I'm working on getting back there. More $ and my best friend works there. I got her the job with me b4 I was leaving. I already know how to do the job gosh I was the one who did it b4 that's why she ended up fired b/c she didn't do her job. I'm going tom. after a meeting I have for my current job to talk to my old manager. I really pray I get the job b/c I've only been gone for not even 3 mo yet and will get back all the time I had with them 5wks vac. So guys pray for me. Thanks this will make it so much better for leave in Jan.

June 29

I had my appointment yesterday and it went some what OK. I guess! Confussing but OK. I mean I'm OK! Let me explain. She did everything normal and we heard the heart beat it was 162bpm so that's great. I agian gained to much weight I've now gianed a total of 25lb. I'm not happy with that but like dr said as long as I am eating good and not to much there isn't much more I can do. Well here comes the part that had me. Dr said let now talk about my u/s's. So she begain to tell me that they have found the reason for all the problems that I had in the begining. I was having twins and one had died. WOW that was a shocker. The worst part is my son came to my appointment with me I really wish he didn't have to hear it like that but what can you do. The dr asked if I was OK and yeah I'm fine. I'm not sure if they would have told me from the begining if I would have been fine so even though I felt as though I know something was wrong and they weren't telling me I'm happy it was done that way. But GOD know I would have loved to have twins. They would have been feternal. So for now I have a u/s in 6wks to make sure the twin is absorbed in to my body and if not that it doesn't grow at all. But some times I guess it stays there for the hole preganacy and then I'd have to be closely watched to make sure no problems come on. Like when the healthy baby is big and they are close it may attachand cause problems that scares me. The other scary one is I may bleed and b/c of me being RH- I'll need to report to the er right away. And bleeding is just scary anyways. Well that one throw me for a loop. So my due date is Jan 6th Iknow I was right with my dates. God bless you all and hope you healthy and happy.

July 18

So today is official the worst day of this job being again I am getting in trouble for things that are completely out of my hands. They don't have any training so basicly you train as you go and if you happen to F up that's when the she-aot hits the fan. So I have basicly decided that on Friday I will put in my 2wk notice. With no job at all I just don't care anymore I give up. I haven't told my hhusband yet and I'm sure he'll be mad. But I know what I can and can't handel and this strees is killing me. I can't work in a place were there are no rules to follow or at least a guid line to follow b/c what's good for one is never good for the other you know? I could care less that I get paid good money. I'd rather pump gas and be treated like a human than stay here and let them walk all over me. I can't beleive I did this and mad this horable chose that's just driving me out of my mind. I f you live nere me I do NOT recomend joining GPO Federal Credit Union. So how many people do you think would hire me being all pregnant and stuff? All I care about right now is this baby and my family and this job is just making me misserable that effects both me, my family, and the baby. I just have to stick it out till Fri before I say I quit(in 2wks) but never the less I'll be done I really can't take it anymore. I just don't know how to get my husband to understand that I can't stay. I've been telling him right along I can't deal with this place but he just says oh just stick it out and stop being a big baby that I'm not going to like everything that happens in life but this is so much bigger. I just don't know what to do. But staying here is NOT an opption!

August 3

I had my appt on 8/1 and I'm not to happy. I saw a different mid wife and she said I'd be fine to have an u/s at the normal time between 20-22wks. So I should just wait till my next appt. So My appt and u/s are on the same day 8/29. She said as long as I don't bleed I should be fine and then they'll check at my u/s to check for the twin that had past. So upsetting. On top of all that I had a interveiw for a new job. I hate mine. I think it was OK. She never asked me any question. She just told me what the job discription was and how the company was. Maybe she saw I was pregnant and said hey right. Or she just liked me from the get go and went for it but I haven't heard anything yet. Except they called me to conferm that I past my back ground check. That's good right. I mean if they weren't at least considering me why would they continue the back ground check? Gosh I hope I get this job. B/c I can't do this anymore on top of it I can't not get paid for maturnity leave. Well that's what's going on with me.
