well as u prolly know.im not pregnant anymore.lexi is here!!yah.just a lil update for now..she came to me on wed march 19 at 350 in the morn weighing in at 7 lbs 7.6 oz 20 inches long.by the time i left hospital she was weighing in at 7 lbs and .05 oz.she wasnt holding her formula down.but now that we are home she is doing great.alyssa was really scared when she saw her for the first time today she didnt know what to do.........here is my story.i go to the hospital tuesday morning cuz i had some bloody mucas.well when i got to hospital i was still 2 cm so they told me to go walk for an hour and they will check me again when i get back.if my cervix dont change they were sending me home..well it didnt change so i left the hospital.well two hours later it is now 430 i was having contractions 5 min apart.so i go to the hospital once again imstill 2cm so they told me to walk for an hour and come back if my cervix changes they will admit me if not i was going home.needless to say it changed i was 3 cm.so i got my iv and an hour later i was 4 cm.they took me out of triage into labor and delivery.they popped my water to get me going .well like 2 hours later i wasnt progressing so they started me on pitocin.that helped i slowly progressed.i couldnt stand the pain ne more so i got the epidural,took a couple naps.hours went by and i was 8cm sure enough 15 min later time to push.4 pushes later she was here it didnt take 2 min it was so easy.doc said y cant everyone be like u.it was cake.i hada lil tear but in a weird spot..so like the usual i got taken to my own rom and went to bed.next day i was feling GREAT woke up took shower walked around.i felt like my usual self not evan like i just gave birth .nurses couldnt believe i was doing all i was.alexis is perfect!!had all kinds of company and help.it pays off no one likes to b alone there!sowe r home and doing good!

so today is tuesday march 25...lexi had her doc visit today.all is good.she is at 7lbs 7.5 oz soshe still isnt at her birth weight yet.well its only.1 of an oz and she is there......me on the other hand......***before pregnancy weight 191***went in to deliver 183***after birth weight168***how i feel today PRICELESS***i never felt so good bout myself in so long..i actually consider myself skinny..i love it.now the problem is to keep it off.thats the hard part good thing me and james are going to start exerciing all the time.and the habit i got to kick now that im not pregnant n e more is the ice cream right b 4 bed..and i love my ice cream!!!well all u mommies have fun with ur babies because they literaly grow SO FAST!

so alyssa just turned 4 yesterday had a wonderful b day and party.we had her party outside.the weather worked out for us nice n sunny n no rain.she got all kinds of presents.lexi is doing great almost 7 weeks old.sleepin almost thru the night normally wakes at 5 but i dont give her a bottle because i dont want her to get dependent on it so i give her a pacifier n she goes back to sleep til 9 or 20.she gets her last bottle ormally round 10 or 11 and goes for 11 12 hours wo eatin..she is now eatin 4 oz every 2 hours..she weighed 8 lb 7 oz on the 25 of april so she isnt gaing as much as they like to see but that was bcause she had a problem with the formula she was drinkin but now she seems to be dong a way better job.she still spits up but not like she use to ..just a lil here n there..she still sleeps for the m ost part..she found her thumb so she has been sucking on that too.she is doing a great job holding her head up by her self..people cant believe how good she does it!she is growing so fast n learning new things all the time.
