Lets see...we're in Kansas & I'm still trying to
settle. I'm 24 & about to be a mom of two. I've been
married for a little over 3 years & it just keeps getting better.
Claire is my wild child & will do anything for a laugh. She's a
daredevil & has zero fear. I'm anxious to meet Carter & see if
he looks just like his Daddy, too. I can't wait to see if he'll be as
crazy & fun as Claire is!I miss Taco Bueno, I'm becoming addicted to
chocolate cokes, & I'm already thinking about my first drink
post-baby. I'm a mixed bag. When you get in
my car, you never know if you'll hear Fox News or rap music. I know
almost every song by the BackYardigans & can probably sing the
Wonder Pets song in my sleep. I wish I was a funny girl who could tell
a good joke, but it hasn't happened yet.
Only one more week til Carter gets here!!



05/20/08: How can it be that in 12 days, my precious little baby will be 1? Is it legal for time to fly this fast? I write her letters every month & honestly, this month was the hardest. It took me longer this month to put the words on paper, to wipe the tears from my eyes. I can't believe I've been a momma for a year now! Claire is the most beautiful, precious, perfect person I've ever had in my life. More than I could have ever imagined or wanted from a baby. Carter will have the same spell over me & I can't wait for it.
06/07/08: Well, Claire's birthday has come & gone & I am still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that I have a baby who is already one! If you asked me 6 years ago where I saw myself, my answer would not have been 24, married, a precious daughter, & a son on the way. I still can't believe that in 4 months, I will be 24 with two babies! And, I never would have thought I'd celebrate Claire's first birthday 5 1/2 months pregnant! Claire is a little hurricane. She is all over the place, into everything she can get her chubby little hands on, & making me laugh almost the entire time she's doing it. The other day she got in my dresser & somehow got a bra strap around her neck & was walking around the house with it hanging off of her neck. She says "hi, bye, mama, daddy, duh (duck), dah (dog), cak cak (quack quack), oof oof (woof woof) (AND! She uses those two phrases appropriately-if you ask her what the duck/dog says), bi (bite), eye eye (bye bye), iiiide (outside)", she waves, has the cutest laugh you've ever heard, can point out nose, ears, & occasionally mouth, when she is ready for bed, she will grab my hand & lead me to her room, can go up & down her slide by herself, loves anything to do with the outdoors, & has recently decided she loves the pool! The sweetest thing she does though, is when I ask her where baby brother is, she pats my tummy. I am so glad I have all of you girls to talk to on here & I can't believe how many of us are in the same boat right now...barely toddlers & we are doing it again! I have a feeling I have no clue what I've gotten myself into!

Tabatha -
Wednesday, 20 August that is really cool! thanks for the info! i'm def gonna look into it. its a nasty day here..very cloudy and rainy. looks like we will be staying in today..i just put gabe down for a nap and i think he's already out...ooops, maybe not! Tabatha -
Tuesday, 19 August let me know what your doc says..when did he say he would induce? was it the 15th of sept..damn, thats soon! my doc does it at 39 weeks i think..he mentioned something about doing a u/s at 34 weeks to check the baby's size..i really hope he schedules a section for me..i don't want to go through what i did last time. i would rather be cut i think! is chase gonna be able to take off long when carter is born? keith has about 3 weeks vacation left. i think he's just gonna use 2 if i have a c section. Tabatha -
Tuesday, 19 August 36 weeks!..i was 36wks and 2 days when gabe popped..you could have him anytime..i'm sure you are okay with that at this point, huh :) what do you and claire have planned today? Tabatha -
Thursday, 14 August that is super exciting about the house! i know it will be a pain in the rump moving, but it will be so worth it in the end! my parents just called and said they are about to be here..that is my cue to put our killer chihuahua in his kennel and out in the garage! he is such a friggin beast when people come over..you wouldn't think a dog could bark non stop. he can. my dad HATES him. gabe is still sleeping too..i'll wake him when they get here and not a min before! cait -
Thursday, 14 August Isn't that the worst when they wake up and all you want is them to go back to sleep for even 30mins. Liliana also woke at 6am but went back to sleep until 8am which was great cause I couldn't until 1am then not a good night sleep. My sisters MIL has a house in Maine which they go almost every weekend and told my sister that we could all go up for a weekend. So we are going a free place to stay but a change will be nice only bummer is 2-3 hour drive. I still have so much to do and have to leave to babysit in 20mins
Most likely I wont get online again so I hope you have a great weekend and will let you know how it goes. cait -
Thursday, 14 August My week has been good just busy. I had my appt. yesterday..Liliana free which was nice. Monday night I had such sharp cramps that woke me up I was little nervous something might not be right but baby's heartbeat was great and its still head down. My midwife said that now the baby is doubling in size so that is why the pains. I am getting so scared though Liliana was this crampy I hope this baby is not HUGE!
How is your week?? Did you end up taking Claire to the library?? We are going away tomorrow afternoon until Sunday I am so excited but so much to get done in such little time. Tabatha -
Thursday, 14 August our week has been good! how has yours been so far? any house news? my parents are coming up for a visit tomorrow and we are gonna go eat..piglet here loves that! lol! i swear, nesting has hit me very early! i don't know what is wrong with me..i went to get something out of the fridge today and before i knew it i had everything dragged out of it and was scrubbing! cait -
Tuesday, 12 August My day was long but not to bad. The girls are actually playing better now that they are both on the run. We had fun at the library and my thought was not every child is quiet at the library. I just brought in the least amount of things as possible just her my mom and my keys..easier to leave in a hurry if need be
This week is going to be pretty busy tomorrow morning I have the boys and then an appointment with my midwife at 2pm then trying to find Liliana some jeans they had none her size at kohls. Wednesday will be a regular day with both girls then Thursday the boys in the morning then we are going away for the weekend!!!
Thursday my BIL, me and the two girls will be taking the drive to Maine which is 2-3 hours away. It will be the first time for Liliana to be on such a long ride and leaving the state. Then later that night my sister and Damian will be joining us. I just hope the ride is not pure hell!! As for the hiccups Liliana had them every night when I was 7 months to until she was 4 months I think. So far this baby doesn't have them. The BH have been strong tonight funny shaping stomach too so weird what they can make you look like. Sorry about the novel LOL what are your plans for the week? Let me know how the library goes I bet she will do great playing with toys and books. Tabatha -
Monday, 11 August we don't have anyone to watch gabe during the hospital stay so keith will have to stay home with him and just bring him up for visits..i just hope at least one of our parents can be there so keith can be in the room for this baby's birth! i'm pretty sure i'm having a c section, so i def don't want to be alone for that. i'm hoping i make it to that date, when they set one, so we can at least arrange for someone to be there....no wonder i'm having those crazy dreams..i've been thinking about it more the closer it gets..i've turned into this horrid worrier during this preg..i just haven't been myself at all and i don't like it lol! shannon917 -
Monday, 11 August MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW!!!! UGGHHHH!!! I don't remember hating being pregnant this much when I was pregnant with Ben. Maybe it's because it's round 2 and I already know what to expect. I didn't sleep much this weekend between the heartburn and having to get up to go to the bathroom, then of course while I'm up I have to check on Ben and by the time I make it back to the bed and try to get comfortable I'm awake. Anyway...how are things going for you? Did your due date change????? Tabatha -
Monday, 11 August you know, i called the salvation army and they said the donations had to be dry cleaned before they would take them lol!! just wonderin'..i think there is a local battered womans shelter around here..they will take them..i prob would have felt the same as you did with being away from claire..i would have missed gabe so much..i miss him if i'm away from him for sev hrs..isn't it crazy how crazy they drive us, but at the same time its hard to be away from them for very long!..maybe you will have this baby early! do you guys have anyone to watch claire while you're in the hospital. i'm still trying to figure how we are gonna work that out.. Tabatha -
Monday, 11 August i just read on 13 mo that you guys had a baby free weekend!! wow! what did y'all do? something fun? cait -
Monday, 11 August My weekend was pretty normal..Saturday night Damian and I did get to go out without Liliana we only went to my sisters but still no kids! Liliana is feeling better a little cranky but I think just a normal one year old. She has an appointmnet with the cartiologist on September 10th. I can only imagine your weekend...I don't think I would have ever been able to leave Liliana. It was probably great the first night but you do miss them like crazy even though they drive us crazy. Do you think you did to much this weekend?? Is that why the contractions were there or you just think normal BH?? It is nice that you can breath again but having to pee that often and with a one year old running to get in the bathroom first (what liliana does) is NO FUN!! Damian is home today which is nice cause I have both girls today. Now Kayla is walking too so it is fun but they go in different directions and you have to think who do I go after first..most causes it is Kayla she gets hurt more often and does things she shouldn't be doing. I am having more pressure lower now I keep thinking about a month more then this baby can come out. Tabatha -
Monday, 11 August our weekend was good!..saturday we went to visit some friends..we stayed home yesterday. i went nuts cleaning..i gathered up 8 garbage bags of clothing out of my closet that i no longer wear. before i had gabe i used to blow tooooo much money on clothes! i'm gonna give it to a charity or something. i could have a yard sale but its too dang hot and honestly, i'm just too damn lazy to mess with it lol! gabe went on a hunger and sippy strike all weekend..yesterday he ate 1 peach and a handful of yogurt melts..he wouldn't eat breakfast this morning either..how are you sleeping?..my sleep is horrid already, plus i'm having weirdo dreams..last night i dreamed i got to the hospital and had to deliver the baby myself..nobody would help and nobody would come to the hospital with me. everytime i tried to show someone the baby they started ignoring me. keith wouldn't even look at him..i was screaming and crying at him and ended up punching him repeatedly in the face. when i woke up i was so pissed i couldn't go back to sleep haha!...crazy, huh!..i know why i dreamed it..it just seems like people aren't even excited about this baby coming. relatives mainly. keith too. he has only felt this baby move once and thats because i forced his hand. i guess its starting to bug me.. cait -
Saturday, 9 August I saw your post about baby free weekend...have fun and enjoy yourself you deserve a break! I can imagine how much you will be missing her but it will be so nice for her and you both. Let me know how everything went when you get back
cait -
Friday, 8 August It's now 7:30pm and Lili has been in bed for the past half hour. The poor thing was so worked up and I think it could be a little because she isn't feeling to great. The doctor also said she thinks her one year molars are coming in. My little girl is getting hit with everything all at once!! I am going to call children's tomorrow during the first nap and see what they have available and will probably take the first appointment. The doctor was worried about me stressing out being pregnant and all but how can you not?? To never had been told anything different about her and now a heart murmur?? I am sure she is fine..I have been told one time that I have one and I was 16 years old but never has a doctor noticed it again. I will def. keep you posted. How are you, Claire, Carter and Chase doing?? The C Family!!! :biggin Tabatha -
Thursday, 7 August i've been known to whoop up the hamburger helper about once a week! keith actually looooves the stuff
...sounds like you had an insane day..it is rainy and gloomy here..makes me want to go to sleep..i think the third trimester tiredness is hitting me hard..the past two days i've wanted to sleep..i was asleep by 9:30 last night. cait -
Thursday, 7 August She isn't herself that is for sure. Her poop is very watery today (sorry if TMI) plus she is more cranky then normal. Today Kayla bit her arm and it was like the end of the world normally she is tough girl and would just get Kayla back but she needed money to hug her and look-kiss her booboo. Tomorrow she is suppose to get shots also so I hope that goes ok I am thinking of bringing her out for ice cream after a nice treat! I am so tired and sore throat but that is about it I am still eating a ton. How was your day?? I think we are going shopping tomorrow for new sneakers none of her shoes are fitting her only her sandles and today it was like 65 degrees here. Lili loves shoes too maybe that will be her treat new shoes for her shots. Tabatha -
Thursday, 7 August yay! that will be awesome if you get moved in before carter gets here! its the house you liked best, right?..thats even better!..i'm so tired today..i'm ready to go crawl in the bed already..still gots to whoop up some dinner..keith doesn't get in till about 6:30 aaaand, the gaber just woke up from his nap. Tabatha -
