Hey guys..... so a little bit about myself. I am 25 married to my wonderful husband Scottie of 2 years. I have a 4 year old daughter from a previous engagement, and my husband has 2 boys from a previous marriage. So with this baby we will together have 4 children. Needless to say we are finished!!!!! I am due May 2nd, with a baby girl, which we will name Sadie Madison. We are super excited and so ready to see her precious little face. My step sons are 15 and 9, so they are not at all even interested in the fact that they are going to be brothers again!!!! On the other hand my daughter Autumn is extactic!!!!!! She tells me everyday how much she loves her Sadie Madison......is that not just the sweetest thing you have ever heard, what a dear baby!!! I really hope to make some new friends by joining this site. I feel like I already know some of you guys as I have been following this site since I was about 5 weeks pregnant.

Well I had my monthly appt today and all is great. Baby is measuring about 3 weeks ahead, putting me at around 24 weeks but they kept my due date the same. I definatley can tell I am getting bigger, this morning I lost my breath tying my shoes!!! LOL My sweet little Autumn, said I am not fat I am just a little big. She is so sweet. You can definatley tell I am pregnant now, my husband says it looks like I am getting bigger by the minute. Pregnancy is really good to me, except for the weight gain. Food has never tasted better!!!! I could eat until I make myself sick!!! It seems like time is going by so slowly now.....I am so ready to see what our little princess looks like.

02-22-08

So I had to go to the Dr. today. I now have to go every Tuesday and every Friday until little miss Sadie decides to grace us with her presence. I have a blood clot in my placenta that they are having to watch really closley. It is fun to get to hear her heart beat twice a week and get a sonogram once a week, to see how she is growing. I just hate the drive to the hospital!!! All went well today, I had another NST. I am really ready to see my baby and know she is alright. I just hope I make it to term, to ensure that she can come home with me. I am feeling huge these days, I have already gained 28 lbs, and am now up to a whopping 202 lbs!!!! Feeling a little more depressed than I would like. I guess it is just all the stress, and the demands of a husband and 4 year old. It was alot easier to be pregnant when I didn't have any kids!!!! I can never get off my feet, or take a break. What I would give to have a full body massage!!!! Not to much longer now.....My Dr. said today that if I make it to 39 weeks that he would induce me!! YAY! So that means I will have an April baby. Well gotta go for now I will update later......

Dang, that cheese here is $5 too!! I got some sliced cheese for pretty cheep but shredded cheese...OMG! So what did you say to her after it all happened?? Was she sorry? Embarrassed? That is just so freaking scary and I know as paranoid as you already are you prob don't want anyone holding her every again!! And I could NOT blame you. I am sitting her on the comp eating doritos...ha ha can you say lard ass! I can't make myself stop eating them either. I NEVER buy chips or junk cause I know we will sit around and eat it all just like I am doing now...UGH! I guess it will be ok since I have gotten to where I only eat once a day anyways! There for a while I just forgot to eat and now I guess my stomach has shrunk! Hope it starts showing on the scale!

OMG dude! I would have FLIPPED out! I am a lot more trusting than I thought I would be. Like Arty's mom flips out when Reid (Arty's nephew) is around Addi, esp when she was tiny. I just figured it was better to have him feel comfortable, so I never freaked about it. And same with Lily, I let her hold her and stuff. But of course I am always right there. That is crazy tho, kids or no kids a 28 yr old should know better! I went grocery shopping today and spent $200 that we don't really have but we gotta eat. I swear tho is has to be cheaper to eat out all the dang time. Cheese was 5 FREAKING DOLLARS!!!!! This crazy! My mom sat with Addi while I went. Then when I got back my mom helped me clean out my spare room for sisters and her kids. They might be coming in from Hattiesburg if the weather gets bad. I hope it doesn't for their sake but I really really wanna see them!


brandi0881 - 7.5 hours ago
Heck no, he ain't staying here...LOL! He was helping Arty build a fence so he came to visit when they got done working! He hasn't seen Addi since she was 3 weeks old. He is living with my mom. We told him he could help Arty for extra money and to pay his cell phone bill (he is on our plan) but I told him the first time I found about him using drugs again I was taking his phone and Arty wasn't finding another helper...we will see how long it lasts!! Oh and it's all good girl, I know you are busy. Addi and I had to run and get some money for another side job Arty got it. It is like a 30 min drive from here and I was dreading it. Addi HATES riding in the car, she pretty much screams the whole time. But last night she was GREAT! I stopped and wal mart and got her some veggies and I got her a walker. Her feet don't touch the ground...LOL! Poor lil shorty! And yes she HATED the green beans too...HA HA! I was laughing so hard at her, the faces were hilarious!

good morning every one.christopher slept for 8 hours last night.woo hoo


brandi0881 - 26.7 hours ago
Yea, she is doing everything a 6 month old would do! I bet you are tired. Addi got up at 3:30 and I put her in the bed with me. She slept while I took a shower. I did NOT wanna leave her in the bed while I had to get up...LOL!! She is going good right now, not fussy at all. My lil bro is here playing with her, she loves him!

I think there is a nest in the attic. The exterminator was gonna charge $120 to put out poision! We are gonna try it ourselves first. It worked last time! We just got back from the doc. : ( poor baby got 4 shots. She weighs 15lbs and 15oz and is 25 inches long. She is in the 75th percentile for her height and the 90th for her weight! She said it was fine cause she is tall enough to carry it. She said she is advanced 2 months. She said to make sure I keep her stimulated cause she might get really bored, I was like UMMMM she already gets bored!! She told me I could keep putting the cereal in her bottle to keep her from spitting up and to try some green veggie baby food! We will see how she likes them. How are you ladies today??


brandi0881 - Wednesday, 27 August
Hi! OMG..today has been another day from hell. I have been crying since I woke up today! My face is so swollen and my head is about to bust! It started with the family drama again. My lil bro is coming home, I had to wire him the money to get here. He worked for my older brother so that screwed him at work. So I had to hear about all that. Then, you know I told you we were going to Nashville for the bach party right? Well, we have been trying to figure out how we were all gonna ride. I thought we pretty much had it figured it out, but I was wrong. I get a text from the bride this morning telling me that she had it all figured out. There are 14 girls going I believe. Well 5 of us were really good friends at one time. Her text tells me them 5 are riding together and I could take my car with my sister in law (not a problem) and 3 other people I NEVER talk to! I know the girls, but it's not like we are good friends or anything. It just made me feel totally left out!! Do you understand? They kept saying fine, those girls don't have to ride with you. That wasn't the point ya know? It was the point of ALL of my friends being together. We have a name we call ourselves The Fabulous Five, and I am left out! It hurt my feelings really really bad. I have been crying about it since I got that message. And of course now they are like FINE we will all ride together and be cramped. So now I feel like a titty baby that everyone is trying to please! UGH...I really don't wanna go now!! I got major issues huh...LOL!! I am sorry to bombard you with all of this, I just wanted someone to understand. I would have called but I doubt you could understand me thru all the tears!!!


brownsugar - Wednesday, 27 August
thanks so much for your support and comment


brandi0881 - Wednesday, 27 August
I read your post about the cereal...why did she say not to put it in her bottle?


brandi0881 - Wednesday, 27 August
The game was fun...we won 32 to 6. My baby nephew caught the ball a couple times and ran it...it was awesome. This is his first year getting to run the ball...he really is good. I hope he grows up and makes us some money...LOL! I HATE ants! They will mess up your air conditioner too! Well I sat here this afternoon and watched a freaking mouse come in from under the back door, steal my dogs food, and then run back under the door...like 3 times. It would stick its head out and look at me. I got a pic of it! Arty won't let me bring the cats in the house cause they haven't had their shots so at this point they are serving no purpose other than just being stupid. One won't use the litter box and the other sleeps in it!!!!! And, Arty and I had a bit of a spat tonight. Which is very unusual for us...we NEVER fight! He was upset cause I couldn't answer his text messages every time he texted tonight while I was at the game. He didn't understand that half the time I couldn't hear it and the other half I was trying to watch the game, keep Addi happy and spend time with my mom and sister!! We are better now, he just doesn't get it some times. Addi hates riding in the car, so it's really hard trying to drive, make her happy and text all at the same time!! I think he understands a lil better now that I broke it down to him. I didn't wanna hurt his feelings but he made me feel bad and like I was doing something wrong cause I couldn't answer him right away! He is not even supposed to be on his phone at work!! Oh and we filled the hole for the mouse and now I hear another one....OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


brandi0881 - Tuesday, 26 August
I am so glad you are not worried about it! I know how you can be a worry wort..LOL! She is just laid back and doesn't wanna do much, I can't blame her...I would wanna take advantage of someone holding me too...HA HA!! Yea, I am so not looking forward to Addi's shots. I know I will cry again like I did the first time! I bet she does miss him. She knows something isn't right. Poor baby..I would love to see her face when he comes home this weekend. We are good today. Got the dich network guy out fixing our satellite now. I so wish Arty was here, I am a freak about strange people...HA! I am going to my nephews football game tonight, I so hope Addi cooperates with me!


brandi0881 - Tuesday, 26 August
Well Addilyn did better sleeping last night. She slept until 2:15, then again til 7:15, then again til 11!!! Now I feel like I have gotten too much sleep tho...LOL! And now she is aslepp again!!


brownsugar - Monday, 25 August
thank u so much for the comment
god bless u


brandi0881 - Monday, 25 August
Thank you! I wanted to call but I didn't you would like that too much at 2:30am...HA HA!! I know it will get better. And I feel bad for letting it get to me like that, I just felt outta control. Then I had a dream that I left her in the restaurant when we went to eat for my b-day. OMG it was horrible!! And yea, she is growing up way too fast, I could not believe she would sit there for that long. So enough about me, how have you all been today??


brandi0881 - Monday, 25 August
Check out my vidoes in month 3 and see if I can consider that sitting up!


brandi0881 - Monday, 25 August
LOL...it is parenting. Good job, I didn't even think of that way! Well, Addi WAS doing great in her crib...but these past few nights she has drove me insane. Last night was the worst night. I totally broke down. It was like the first night home all over again. She has always slept, I have never had to deal with this before. Maybe I am just being horrible, but no sleep is hard on me. She took a nap yesterday from 2 to 5. No big deal, she sleeps that long during the day all the time. So I figure I would keep her up until 8 cause usually her bed time is 7. So Arty gave her a bath, and then a bottle. I went and laid her down and like I told you she went right to sleep. We went to bed about 11:30, it took me a while to fall asleep, but as soon as I did she woke up. It was 12:45. I went and put her pacifier in and she went right back out, well 10 mins later she was up again. I tried the pacifier thing and she wasn't having any part of it. I realized she had peed out of her diaper, so I got her up and changed her. I tried again to lay her back down and she started to fight me, kicking and screaming. And I totally lost it. I just broke down and started bawling. I really don't know what happened other than I just lost it. I took her in the bedroom to put her down so I could fix a bottle. Arty heard me crying and came in the kitchen to comfort me and I wouldnt let him. I was like just go lay back down with her, I'll be there in a min!! I took him a bottle and HAD to smoke. I just sat outside bawling my eyes out. I finally calmed down and went back to get her so he could go to sleep. I get in there she is almost done with her bottle and grunting, sure enough made a dirty diaper. I changed it, and laid her back down. She was up again 10 mins later. She would go right to sleep up next to me. She kinda fought at first and you know I told you she had this "uhhh uhhh" thing going on, well she was doing that in a very soft sleepy voice...for like 10 mins she did it. Once she finally went to sleep I just put her in the bassinet next to the bed. She seemed to go to sleep, then I heard her talking, I looked over and she was talking in her sleep!!!!! It eventually woke her up, so I again put her in the bed with us. By this time it was like 2:30 or something, Arty had already gotten on the couch cause he couldn't sleep. I finally got her to lay back down in her crib til 5 this morning. She slept with me off and on after that til about 8:30 and I said screw it and just got up. I don't know why I got so upset, but seriously I felt like I had a brand new baby all over again. Then I got upset with myself for getting upset and started crying all over again!! And yea Addi likes to bury her face too..she seems to breath just fine but yes it freaks me out too!

I'm only bottle feeding, the Doctor said ok on solids, butIi just think she's still to young, I did some research and most of the sites said 6 months is the right age to start, I did feed her once with carrots and another one with peas (just because hubby want to) I put the food on her mouth, she made a face like: "what's this?" and started sucking, lol... she only ate couple of baby spoons, but I want to wait until she's 5 months at least.


brandi0881 - Monday, 25 August
I know Sadie doesn't have much trouble going to bed at night, but if you haven't tried the night time bath and lotion stuff...you should! We just used it for the first time tonight. Arty gave her bath, then a bottle and she laid right down...YAY! No fighing with her at all! So how did Autumn do playing football??


brandi0881 - Sunday, 24 August
Thank you, she is asleep now so I am going to attempt to lay down one more time! Hey, read my post in 3 months bout the formula and let me know what ya think!
