July 24 2008

Okay! so I don't know what happened to my lil girl the other night but she was back to normal last night....Yayyyyyy! :o)

She went to sleep at about 7.30pm (which is unsual considering she usually doesn't go to sleep til about 10.30) she woke a couple of times but I just picked her up and snuggled her for a couple of mins and she fell back to sleep and I put her down again :o) She slept right until about 9.30am :o)

She's been great all day. Sooooooo happy to have my happy, content snugglebunny back! :o)

July 23 2008

Yesterday & last night was sooooo difficult for me (probably the most emotionally challenging since she's been born). My baby would cry everytime I would put her down.

I don't understand because as soon as I picked her up she was all smiles and laughs but when I put her down she just cried. It started with a whinge, which lead to cry which ended up with a screaming fit loud enough to wake a deaf man in Africa.

The most difficult and emotional thing for me was the fact that I got to the point where I didn't like my baby *sob-sob* I tried with all my heart to go to my happy place and pray but I think I just got too overwhelmed :o( I think the fact that I don't have support or anyone to turn to at that time of night/morning makes it unbelieveably difficult and makes me feel so alone!

We finally snuggled up on the couch at 4am approx and fell asleep together. She just seemed to want to be held all the time and I Love my angel with all my heart but I need 'my time' even if it's just a couple of hours....I'm the happiest mum in the world if I get my couple of hours of 'my-time' in the day!!!

My girl's been quite good today. I admit that I still feel bad about the way I felt but I just hope my baby & god can forgive me for feeling that way.

I think this site and all the AMAZING mums on here actually helped sooooooooo much!!! "Thank you to all you beautiful Mums for your support!"

My princess is 15.4weeks today

Hello Everybody

Hope you are all well and happy and enjoying pregnancy or mummyhood. I'm in my 18th week and am so happyyyyy to be here..ecstatic actually (ok-ok, so maybe there are no words to describe how truly happy i am..but those will do for now). It seems like it's taken forever to get to this week but I love my angel soooooooo very much and i can't wait to meet her in person :o) ...she's going to be the best birthday present EVER!!! (my birthday is 6 days after my due date)..YAY!!!

About me:

Well..i'm 31, single and so happy to be a 1st-time mummy2b. 4 years ago i had a brain tumor removed, a few weeks later i was whooshed back to the hospital because i had to have a shunt inserted for my newly discovered hydrocephalus. during that time one of the doctors told me i would never be able to have children..i was sad but took it on the chin and buried the hurt away deep inside.

A few months ago i discovered i was pregnant, i could not believe it! I was happy but i didn't want to get too happy because after thinking for years that you can't have children....you start to believe that maybe that's the way it's going to stay. especially when you hear all the docs saying the first 12 weeks are the most difficult...why can't they just be positive? why do they have to share the worst-case scenerios? hmmmmm? anyways..i'm 18 weeks now and still can't be totally 500% happy. I'm just scared that if i get my hopes up..things might go wrong..i know that's not exactly good but it's scarey!

My Angel.. Jannige Atianui

I'm naming my baby-girl after her mummy :o) actually the whole name covers 5 generations (maybe more). I love my baby girl with all my heart and i can't wait to meet her.

I'm really nervous about my lil angel after everything 'medically' i've been through, so if you could PLEASE cross your fingers and toes, pray, wish or whatever else that will bring positive energy to me and my baby....please do it. Thank you :o)

Take Care Everyone and I wish you all the VERY best!!!

Saturday, 17 Nov

Hello Beautiful People :) I went to my MW today and heard my baby..it was soooo fabulous and amazing!! (her heartbeart sounds normal now and not like a rushing gust of wind..YAY!) ANDDD..I'm feeling her move, wooohooooo!!! *does happy dance* 'BUT WAIT!..THERE'S MORE!!!'.....I go for my 20 week scan tomorrow so i get to see him :) I'm sooooo nervous but can't wait to see her, i just pray my baby is well and happy!!! Hope you all are doing great!!! Keep smiling and thank you for reading (((hugs))))


Wednesday, 28 Nov

*Does happy dance* i've been to my 20 week scan today and my baby seems to be happy and healthy...yipppeeeee!!! however, found out today that the baby boy i 'thought' i was going to have is actually a girl!!! I'm a bit sad because i feel like i've lost my boy..but i'm sooooo happy that my baby is doing great and that's all that REALLY matters to me!!! I know it sounds weird to say it feels like i've lost my son when i never really had him, BUT..for the last few months i honestly thought i was having a boy!..i had his name ready, i could see him and i thought i could feel 'HIM'. but please don't get me wrong I love my baby-girl with EVERYTHING i have/with all my heart & soul! i just hope she knows that and understands my temporary sadness. I wish i could add pics of her but the scanner didn't do a very good job as far as letting me see my baby move or getting decent pics. Well, that's that for now. Thank you for reading. Keep smiling and stay beautiful! (((hugs))))

Saturday, 8 Dec

Yayyyy, I just turned 22 weeks today and am sooooooo happyyyy. My baby's kicking more often and it's the BESTEST feeling..EVER!!! it really is a HUGE peace of mind to feel her moving around. I have my meeting at the hospital this week (not exactly sure why, i think it may be for my hydro) Keep smiling and stay beautiful everyone ((((hugs))))

Tuesday, 11 Dec

Well the last couple of days i've been stressing out!!! haven't really felt my baby move. However!!!.. just got back from my doc and she had a doppler so i got to hear my babys' heartbeat AND a kick (which i didn't feel)..such a relief!!! I'm on 'Cloud 10,089' lol. doc said my angel could just be turned around towards my back. i'm sooooo hap-hap-happyyyyyy! Keep smiling and thank you for reading everyone (((hugs))))

Went to my 1st obste appnt today. everything was going great until i asked about my 20wk scan. apparently my baby 'could' have a hole in her heart. the report said the scan was blurry so they couldn't be 100% sure and that the 'anomaly' in question was very small. I have to go for a scan to be definite which hopefully will be in the next 2 weeks (cross fingers and toes it's before xmas). I've shed a few tears today but am trying my best to keep positive. Please PLEASE cross your fingers and toes, pray or wish (whatever works would be very VERY appreciated!!!) for my baby to be well and healthy. *thank you for reading* ..stay beautiful and take care. (((hugs)))


Saturday, 15 Dec

23 Weeks today..YAY!!! So glad to be here but i don't really feel any different. hopefully my baby will be kicking alot more from now on (or at least soon). And i'm supposed to ring the hospital on Monday to find out when my scan is(to confirm my babys' heart condition). I wish it's going to be next week. (((hugs)))) p.s to all the fabulous & Amazing people who have sent me encouraging & supportive thoughts and comments...."Thank You with all my heart!!!" ((((hugs))))


Tuesday, 18 Dec

Found out today that I have my appointment next Thursday 27 to find out about my babys' heart condition. I'm sooooo nervous but am happy and priviledged to have alot of supportive and encouraging comments to refer to for a boost of positive reassurance and a smile on my face. 'Merry Christmas Everyone' Stay beautiful and Be well. (((hugs)))) p.s my midwife did the sweetest, nicest thing today, she dropped me off a huge box of goodies..including some things for my angel..she's been totally Amazing!! but it was such a nice surprise to get her gift.


Tuesday, 25 Dec
Your eyes might be brown,Your eyes might be blue,
My imagination runs wild..with images of you.
Your hands & your feet,How small they must be,
When you`re placed in my arms...Whose face will I see?.

I can't wait for the day that you're placed into my world.
My small baby girl so precious and sweet,
You've been sent into my life ....to make me complete.

Glad your day was better yesterday! The pink dress picture is of Leah's first Easter- just 4 days old. Now- 4 months old... Amazing!


mom2boy - Wednesday, 23 July
Well the good news is I have cut down to two days a week. It was a hard decision as I love my job/career and even now I am getting second thoughts but being a mom and a wife is the most important thing to me right now and I can do that best if I spend less of my time being a Med Tech.


juliedue2008 - Tuesday, 22 July
I was out to lunch with a friend and we were all talking about how lucky we are.. one of them is a single mom that just broke it off with her bf.. so after hearing her all lunch.. I give you a big (((((((( HUG)))))))) she said it got easier but at first it was so hard and she missed her bf!!! But now she is SOOOO happy to have him gone..


mom2boy - Tuesday, 22 July
One more thing, my husband is in NV for real estate business right now and I am staying at my parents house. Well, Jamison's sleeping habits have become a mother's worst nightmare over the past few weeks. He went from sleeping 11 hrs getting up for one short feed to getting up twice once I started going back to work. Well, he got a cold and last night he went to bed around 730 and got up at 815, 830, 900, 1100, 300, 430, 530, 630 and 8AM. I did this alone without my husband and I was a wreck. I am so happy that I don't have to go through this without him and as you suggested I will give him a big hug and thank you when I see him next.


mom2boy - Tuesday, 22 July
I know how you feel...kind of. I understand being frustrated and feeling like you don't like your baby anymore but I don't understand how it feels to go through all of that without a husband. I am constantly telling my hubby that I don't know how single moms do it. You have to be so strong and so patient.


Jo-Mama - Tuesday, 22 July
I totally know that feeling: so frustrated and so mad and so helpless. I can see how shaken babies happen. Sometimes I have to leave the room when Malone is screaming and refusing to sleep and I get so upset. But you're right - I will give my husband a huge hug when he gets home because he is there to save me from doing something stupid. Hope today is a better day for you.


firsttimeinvonda - Tuesday, 22 July
just read your comment about baby crying every time you put her down. Try holding her as if to nurse her with her arm under yours and cover her with a blanket and patting her bum. It ALWAYS works for Makenna. She sometimes won't sleep unless we are doing that. Good luck...


mommyinthesky - Monday, 21 July
I love the dog/cat diary, so funny!


Jo-Mama - Monday, 21 July
I am such a cat person and I'm positive that's what they are thinking!


ladobruk - Monday, 21 July
Your post is hilarious. How true too!


nmck - Sunday, 20 July
Hysterical! I just want to pinch your baby's cheeks with that cheeky smile! Give a kiss for me!


SueUK - Saturday, 19 July
 Thanks for your lovely comment about Joe's pic. This is a gorgeous smiley photo! Bless her little kissee cheeks :-)


Jo-Mama - Wednesday, 16 July
Oh yeah, score one for Canada: if your breasts are so big they are causing pain in your neck and back and shoulders, then reductions are free. My sister had one last year.


Jo-Mama - Wednesday, 16 July
From what I hear, different breasts do different things! I breastfed for 2 months. I was a big C before, a massive DD or E while breastfeeding, and now I'm a floppy D! I have to buy new bras because my pre-preggo bras don't fit and my BF bras don't fit. Grr...


baby1cantwait - Wednesday, 16 July
 OMG please please kiss those cheeks for me


kathleen - Wednesday, 16 July
hey that was i lovely message u left on the picture of my daughter keanna, thank u xxx also i'd just like to say your daughter is also adorable and 2 cherish every moment because as u have properly realized they grow up far 2 quickly xxxxx


Hollygirl - Tuesday, 15 July
Your little angel, Jannige isn't it? Anyway she's so beautiful. Her eyes make her cuter! I wanted Slade to have my dark dark eyes so he's have anything at all from me but nope lol. He looks nothing like me. He's a combination of my brother and my husband with some colouring from grandparents. How are you coping at the moment. Some days are good and some are harder for me. Four days a fortnight I look after my niece and it has made me seriously reconsider having a second child right away! That pic of Slade is at his grandparents. They bought him this expensive super soft little teddy and they were laughng at how it was almost the same size as he was at the time. He isn't so tiny anymore. He's just over seven and a half kilos. No idea what that is in lbs. I want to say like 15-16lbs. Anwyay take care and chat soon. *hugs*


Hollygirl - Tuesday, 15 July
Great photo of your little one. She looks sweet. My hubby watched me upload Slade jsut after yours and he said she was a cutie! :-) Are her eyes brown yet? They look so dark compared to Slade's. Have fun!


streetjazz - Sunday, 13 July
Jannige is a beautiful wee baby!
she seems so so so happy!
you must be a great mummy 2 her for all those smiles. :)


leahsmom - Wednesday, 9 July
Yep, those eyes and smile will have the same effect forever. My son had (has) an impish grin with eyes that just twinkle mischief. He is 8 now and sometimes I have to turn my head to keep from smiling while I am disciplining him over the little things.


Jo-Mama - Monday, 7 July
Cute cute cute!
