Alyvia Paige Nerwuca was born on 5.28 at 1:16 am. Weighing 7lbs 13oz and 21 in. long. I absolutely LOVE being a mommy... I still can't believe she's mine!! Birth story coming soon =]

My water actually broke Wed. afternoon. Apparently my DD was teh 27th.. I missed it by an hour and 16 mins!

Pics will be up soon, as well as a birth story =] Can't wait to see yours!

pinkb00h - Monday, 26 May
Nothing is happening for me either!! GAAAAH!! Although I'm cramping and it's hurting a little more than normal, but who knows. My inlaws just left. I thought it was gonna be a horrible day, but I actually had a good day! Except for the fact it's super hot and my hands and feet are swelling :( My MIL told me "you're gonna have the bebe tonight. I can feel it." I hope she's right!!

They took us out to lunch, so I didn't have to cook =] And then we walked around Walmart for a bit, and guess what.. they freaking bought us a 42" Plasma screen TV and a stand!! AHHHHH!!! It's so awesome.. I told them "Yep.. I'll be sitting right here in this spot on the couch for the next week.. staring at this tv.." ahahah. WOO. Maybe something will happen tonight! Is your next appt the 28th?

pinkb00h - Sunday, 25 May
It's the 25th, and I'm still waiting, too!!

I think I'll have to be induced, too. It's frustrating.. we have ALL the signs, and yet.. NOTHING! GRRR! I wish I was going into labor.. hahah. I can hardly move, my back and groin hurt so bad. And the pressure is sooooo bad. I just want the contractions to actually get stronger and more frequent. I hate the teasers!

Don't worry.. maybe we'll be induced together.. hahah. Or maybe we'll both go into labor tonight!

pinkb00h - Friday, 23 May
Aww, you're still here!! Go away already Kim! LOL =]

Are your contractions like period cramps? I can't usually tell them apart from a really achy body. I have to actually sit there and pay attention to them for a while before I can actually tell.

That's actually sweet of Marshall! He doesn't want to leave ya alone =] You may be glad you didn't, if something happens this weekend and he's actually home!

Mid-June.. Holy cow I hope not!! You'd be WAAAY over due!! You'd be giving birth to a linebacker for sure!!

I've figured it out... My daughter is a drama queen... And she plans on being fashionably late. I just know it!

pinkb00h - Thursday, 22 May
Well I'm thinking of you today, and sending LOOOOOOTS of labor wishes your way!! =]

I'm getting really annoyed at the emails and phone calls, too. Geez. We have enough to stress about right now, we don't need these stupid people asking stupid questions on top of it! When I have the baby, YOU WILL KNOW. NOW STOP FREAKING ASKING ME!! This baby needs to be born by Saturday, otherwise I'm not going to church.. Every time I walk in there, it's the same thing.. Same stupid comments, same stupid questions. Do they honestly think they're being FUNNY!? I'm even asked "Are you sure it's not twins?" "How are the twins??" GRR! If I have to put up with that one more time, I WILL sit in the middle of the lobby and scream and throw a fit, until I get my point across!

pinkb00h - Thursday, 22 May
I really hope so.. cuz the more I think about it, the more worried I get! And it's hard to stop.

I had a nightmare last night, too. I can't remember what it was.. but I remember getting really scared and I cried out and reached over to grab Kamil. And then I think he had a nightmare, too.. cuz I remember waking up and it sounded like he was.. wimpering? Or maybe it was a really sad dream.

In the past few days, I've only had to get up once to use the bathroom, and that's usually around 5 or 6:30 in the morning. I kind of feel "not pregnant" today! No idea how that's possible, cuz I'm in a lot of pain, but oh well.

It is exciting to know that we can go "any day". But I hate not knowing!

HOLY CRAP! YOU'RE DUE TODAY! I just looked.. HOLY CRAP! lol. Well then I hope I don't go before you! I hope you go now!! While I'm at my appointment! I better not hear from you for a couple days then missy!! =] Good luck! Try sex.. and walking.. and then sex sex sex.. lol!

pinkb00h - Thursday, 22 May
Oh bah! Well at least you kind of have a timeline of when you'll have your son?

Ok.. so let's close our eyes, and REALLY REALLY wish that the both of us go into labor tonight...! I think I may walk up and down the stairs a couple million times... And then try and remember what sex is, and see if that won't help.. hahahah.

I'm scared that induction won't be an option for me (cuz they don't even check you unless it's absolutely necessary), and that the placenta will start to deteriorate, and that the cord will start to age and fail, and that she'll poop and then inhale the meconium... That's really worrying me!

pinkb00h - Wednesday, 21 May
You know, I keep hearing that the babies are supposed to slow down as labor comes closer?? Alyvia is CRAZY! She's never slow! If that means anything.. I won't be having her until Christmas!

I'm actually convinced I'll have to be induced - cuz I'll go over my DD. Which, sometimes, I wouldn't mind, cuz then it just means that since Kamil's family invited themselves up here (we definitely didn't ask for them to come!), they'll just get to see me very large, very pregnant, and very cranky! So HAHA ON THEM! I know I know, I'm mean today, but bah!

I hope you've progressed more!! I hope I go into labor.. I hope YOU go into labor!!

BabyAlexis - Wednesday, 21 May
Hey your still pregnant too... me 2.. I'm in pain with these dam contractions there hurting sooo bad!! Well just seeing how u were.. You look sooo beautiful in all of your pixs... :)

pinkb00h - Wednesday, 21 May
Isn't it frustrating to have all these contractions, but no baby!? It's really driving me crazy!

I want my daughter to be able to talk to me as well. My mom was very adament about letting us know that if we ever needed to talk to her, we could. But I never could bring myself to do it. I don't know why. Maybe because of everything she had put me through as I was growing up...? I think that may be why I got into the mess I did in highschool. I couldn't talk to anybody - just bottled up my emotions until I eventually exploded. I don't want that to happen to my daughter. I want to be her best friend, but I want to be her mother still. Know what I mean? I know quite a few parents that just try to be a friend, not a parent. And their kids are nuts. Really. No manners, disrespectful.. My daughter will not be like that!

Not much going on on my end.. Had some painful contractions today. More painful that what they have been - and my back has been killing me for the better part of the day. It's not sciatica.. I have no idea what it could be. It felt like somebody got me with a sledge hammer, and then I had a bad contraction, then it went away, then it happened again. But I can't get my hopes up anymore. Cuz I'll probably be here til Christmas!!

Have you heard about the full moon stuff?? It proves true for some women, but not all. I hope it does for you and I! Almost everybody on here that I've become friends with have dropped out of the "mommy to be" club, and have crossed over to the "other side" (a.k.a. the mommy club!). I'm jealous. Maybe if I can tempt the baby with cookies... =]

pinkb00h - Monday, 19 May
I'm still here!! Waaaaah!!! I hope your son comes within the next few days! Good luck! Are you having any contractions, or any other signs??

I really hope I'm not gonna be here til week 42... I'd go crazy! My contractions are coming more frequently throughout the day, but none stay!! It's so frustrating!

My mom seemed to be all about control while we were growing up. She was very manipulative, and very controlling. My dad, on the other hand, would guide us to the best of his ability, and taught us obedience (but w/o the controlling part), respect, etc. So growing up with 2 different sides, sometimes it's hard for me to shove the controlling/manipulative part into the backseat. Very rarely does it come out, but it does. I'm really not mean, and I'm definitely not a b***h!! Lol. Sometimes, I have to use it right back on my mom - that seems to be the only thing that gets her to back off of me.

You sound like you're gonna be an amazing mom, as well. I can already tell your son is going to grow up respecting and loving you, and will be super confident (but not cocky), and will try to always take care of you, and be very independant. =]

So once we actually have these babies, we'll be able to share experiences! Whenever they decide to come... Bah! Your son will be very handsome, as well. I think he'll get the darker skin and the black hair. I'm sure Alyvia will get that, as well. I can't wait until I can put her hair up into pigtails =]

I think getting my baby to latch on correctly and start to breast feed is most important to me in the beginning, too. I think that's the main reason we're not gonna call anybody for about 3 hours after she's born. How hard would it be to try breast feeding for the first time with a bunch of people in the room crowding around? Not only would it be extrememly difficult and stressful, I don't need everybody takin a good luck at my rather large boob!

I think at the very end of a pregnancy, most women probably become kind of territorial and protective. Especially if they keep getting stupid advice that's one-sided, from other people. It's like we've finally started our own family, we're not kids anymore, we are gonna do this on our own, in our own way, we don't need peole telling us what it is we should and shouldn't do, what's right and what's wrong. We'll figure this out for ourselves. If we change a diaper one way, and the baby screams and kicks, obviously it wasn't the right way, and we'll do it differently the next time around, ya know? It's like learning how to write. Nobody can sit there and TELL you how it's done. Most will try, but kids will be kids, and they're not gonna listen to you. They're gonna do it their own way. Trial & error. It's so dumb though. There are a lot of people out there that think if you don't do something with your child a certain way, you're neglecting your child, and not caring for it properly!

And I don't like how people are telling you about working from home with a baby, and you can't do it, blah blah blah. Obviously it didn't work for them. So what? Maybe it'll work for you! But you'd never know unless you gave it a shot.

Haha.. I remember the beginning!! We were worried about not feeling our babies move, and worried about m/c, and each and every ache and pain we felt... Now, we can't wait to not be pregnant anymore! We complain sometimes if the baby repeatedly kicks on a certain part and we feel tender and bruised on that spot, and we complain about falling apart! hahah. It's amazing how much our worries have changed. But watch.. We can't wait for it to be done right now, but by the time they're ohh.. a year old, we'll be wanting more! I just know it.. =]

pinkb00h - Thursday, 15 May
YAY FOR PROGRESSION!! I dodge phone calls too.. lol!

My contractions... they pretty much feel like horrible period cramps. It starts in my back, feels like I'm getting hit with a sledge hammer, and then it goes around to my belly. But just the lower part. People keep telling me that it's not a contraction unless you feel it all over your entire belly and it hardens up, but everybody feels something different. Some womens bellies get hard, others don't.

Yep, I plan to give my best shot at breast feeding. I agree, it will be hard, and I've had a few people try to discourage me already. They try and make me feel guilty by saying "So you're gonna leave your husband out of that bonding time? You won't let him feed her with a bottle?" Geez. I'm gonna breast feed, there's nothing wrong with it! I don't know what peoples problems are, seriously! Eventually Kamil will feed her with a bottle, but with breast milk. If I'm gone or something, you know? Ugh. People these days!

I'm not leaking fluid, but I can squeeze it out.. ahahah. I'm pretty sure it is colostrum, cuz mine is clear sometimes, and sometimes it's like a.. yellow white color. Kamil thinks it's gross, but I think it's funny ahah. I do it and show him just cuz he's grossed out by it!

pinkb00h - Wednesday, 14 May
Speaking of people wanting to get a call from you.. There's this girl that I was friends with my senior year. She was a junior. Well, she's just.. stupid now. Really. Everything she does bugs the heck out of me, and she is really annoying, and I can't stand to be around her anymore. All she talks about is how much she hates her ex, and about all these other guys, and basically a 'woe is me' conversation. Anyway, she emailed me the other day, asking me "you have't had that baby yet?" I wanted to choke her. I'm getting SO TIRED of that question. Obviously I haven't had her yet. That's why I still look pregnant! She was asking me if I was excited and all this, and asked me when I was due. Then she says "Well, call me when you have her, and I'll come up to the hospital to see you." .... HAH! How about no? I'm not gonna call her even after I get home! She can see pictures of Alyvia on my myspace or something. It's funny how people you don't see, and really don't want to even associate with anymore, find out you're pregnant, and then they're all friendly and you just HAVE to call them so they can come up to the hospital to see you and the baby. It's so stupid! They don't care how you are. They're just nosey, and just want to see a new baby. I honestly think it's rude!!

No, no new symptoms :( Today, I feel like I'll be pregnant until Christmas! I can't ever tell if I'm having contractions or not. People tell me how they feel, and I get different versions. I know it's different for everybody. I think mine are just going to feel like horrible period cramps. My pelvic area and hips are actually feeling better than they have been, which is great. The only thing is that Kamil usually has to help me stand up if I've been sitting for too long, and sometimes has to help me walk. The muscles right under the round part of my belly feel like they're ripping apart if I try to walk after sitting for a while. They always hurt, just not as bad. Bleh. I can't wait until our babies are here! Then we can complain about how we're not sleeping cuz they're up 23 hours of the day wanting to eat, instead of complaining we feel like we're falling apart!

How do contractions feel for you? I've got an appointment tomorrow morning, too. I'm hoping I'll get a different OB this time, and then I'll ask about being checked. It's driving me insane not knowing. I know it may not be that big of a deal, but knowing how dialted/effaced you are, if any, will kind of give me a time frame, you know? I think I just want to hear "You won't make it to Sunday!" lol!

Oh, and I can't remember if I've asked you or not.. Are you planning on breast feeding?

pinkb00h - Tuesday, 13 May
Ahh, I thought I was in labor last night! But I can't really tell if they were contractions or not.. I wish my body would tell me what it is I'm feeling, so I don't have to guess! By the time Kamil thought we should start timing them, they went away, and I felt great.. lol. I hate it!

I don't think I'm actually afraid of people telling me I'm doing something wrong, I just don't want them to do so. It'll make me really upset. I'm like you, I'd rather look at different ways to do things, and pick what I think I should know, and ways I think I should do things. How else are you going to learn to parent your child?? Just because a certain way worked for somebody with 3 kids, doesn't mean at all that it'll work for you. I've been getting people telling me how I should and shouldn't do things. People with and w/o kids. A friend of mine, I used to consider her my best friend until I got pregnant, and then her real personality showed through and I just really don't like it, seems to think she knows everything, and tries to give me advice all the time. She's the same age as me, and doesn't have kids... Just because her sister whom she only sees about 4 times a month has an 8 month old, she thinks she knows everything about being pregnant and having a child. I just want to smack her. She knows absolutely NOTHING. Being around a pregnant woman DOES NOT mean you know what it's like. Being around a baby DOES NOT mean you know how to handle it being your child, and doesn't mean you know what to do! It really irritates me!!

And get this.. I talked to her on the phone last week, and she says "Oh, when you go into labor, you HAVE to call me! *laughs*" My jaw dropped to the floor. I asked her why, and she says "so I can be there at the hospital!" I laughed at her.. Really laughed at her, and told her "no, I'm not calling you. I'm not calling ANYBODY. You can see the baby a few weeks after she's born." She was really quite ahaha. I don't know if I offended her or hurt her feelings, but really. She irritates me, she gives me dirty, used stuff with cat hair all over it, and expects it to be ok, and is cheap.. Why would I call you?! Ehhh. Sorry if that seems really mean and offensive, but I've just had so many problems with her lately!

I'll probably have to put my foot down as well. I'm not sure about with my parents, but I know I'll have to with Kamil's parents. And his entire family. Ugh. Just thinking about them being up in my daughter's face makes me angry. I'll just end up taking her from them and telling them I have to feed her or something. Or, I'll have to be brave and say "please don't put your face in hers. I don't need her to get sick, and your nose doesn't have to touch hers in order for her to see you." Something.. I don't know. I'm scared!

pinkb00h - Friday, 9 May
Thanks!! I think it's pretty too =] How do you pronounce Keoka? I really like it though. It's unique! How cute about the announcements. I wish we had the money to do that. I know we'll be getting her pictures taken when she's a few weeks old. Maybe a month. I want her to be able to have a bunch of pictures to look back on. But yea, the first pictures we get will probably be A LOT, and we'll just send those out or something.

Are you having real intense BHs or cramping?? I've been having that a lot, but I couldn't tell ya if I've lost my mucous plug or anything. And I'm sure I would know if I was leaking water.

And yea, we've discussed vistors at hospital/home. Well actually, I've told Kamil how it's gonna be, and he agrees lol. We're not calling anybody until AFTER Alyvia is born, and she's a few hours old. I don't need anybody up there waiting for her to be born. That'll just put stress on me, and I don't need them poking in and out to see how things are going, and I don't need Kamil running back and forth, because they want updates or something. And plus, I wanna get started breastfeeding, and I can't do that if I have a room full of people. After that first few hours, then Kamil will call just my family (mom and dad, step-mom and step-dad, and siblings. His are in IL), and they can come up. Once we get home the next day, or whenver they let us go, I told him I DO NOT want people there. I am not coming home with a newborn to a house full of people. I want a couple days to get used to her, and I want to be able to spend time with my brand new family w/o interruptions. My mom will really have some issues with that, and I'm sure Kamil will have to fight her off, but it's what I want. She's already having problems with the fact that I told her I just want me and Kamil in the delivery room. After a few days alone at home, then people can come over. But then, I don't want a steady stream of people all day everyday. And like you, we probably won't call many other people until we're comfortable with her, and we've kind of got the hang of being new parents. I guess Kamil's parents are coming up Memorial Day.. That's my due date... I'm not sure how that's gonna work out. If I go into labor that day, I'm gonna have to tell Kamil to tell his parents to forget it. I don't want them at the hospital, either. I guess it depends on when I have her. If I go a week early, then I guess it'll be ok, since I know they won't be here all day, and they live 3 hours away, so they'll visit for a few hours, then go back home.

Don't feel selfish!! I think other people should feel horrible for being pushy and wanting to spend time with YOUR NEW BABY right after he's born. They need to realize that you're a NEW parent, that you've never done this before, and you need time to spend with him and Marshall. That's how I see it anyway, and it makes me mad when people start to get pushy with me. My oldest sister e-mailed me the other day, and asked if she could come down a few weeks after Alyvia is born and stay the weekend, so it'll give us time as a new family. I love how she is giving me time, you know? not that she has a choice, lol, but she's not pushy about seeing her new neice right away.

I'm just scared of how Kamil's mom will be.. They're all polish, so her ways of doing things are TOTALLY DIFFERENT from mine. Like.. HORRIBLY different. It's not that we dont' get along, cuz we do, and I really like her, but I've seen how she acts around babies (her younger sister had her last boy almost 2 yrs ago). Kamil's mom, grandma, and Aunt (the one with the baby) are just really... weird.. around babies. They are always in their faces, and I can't stand that. I don't want ANYBODY in my child's face, and I'm scared that Regina (his mom) will try that, and I'm gonna end up saying something, or that she'll tell me I need to do things her way, and that the way I'm doing them is stupid or something. Ahhh! I'm not looking forward to finding out...

pinkb00h - Thursday, 8 May
Lol! Yea, you would know if you've gotten an internal exam! They check your cervix to see if you've dialted or effaced any.

They wouldn't do one this morning when I asked. Said they won't check unless it's absolutely necessary. UGH! I just want a little encouragement that this baby isn't gonna be stuck in there forever!!

My doctors say everything is "normal" & "perfect" too. So watch. You and I will probably be the only ones to go right on our DD. Everybody else gets to go before :(

Kamil keeps rubbing my belly, and he puts his mouth right up against it and says "Now baby, be nice to mommy! Just come out already so she'll feel better!" lol it's cute.

We're naming her Alyvia Paige =] I don't think you've told me what you're naming your son??

pinkb00h - Tuesday, 6 May
Yep, moving in has gone smooth! I just don't have the energy to clean everything like a lot of these women do. lol. We still need to finish her room. Everything is put together, but I still need to wash stuff, and I want to get some pictures and those wood letters to spell out her name. We're getting the carseat put in today. Her bag is packed, I just need to figure out what to put in mine. I've been in the phase of wanting her out! I'm just so uncomfortable, I can barely walk most of the time.

Have you had an internal done yet??

pinkb00h - Monday, 5 May
Hello! No, I haven't had her yet :( AHHHH! I've just been kind of busy with everything. Trying to finish school, getting everything clean, her room all set up... We're finally getting a washer/dryer tomorrow (tues.), so I'll be able to finish washing all her blankets and the rest of her 0-3 month clothing. I was gonna do it all, but for one, we have HEAPS of clothes, and I think by the time she's into 3-6, her skin won't be as sensitive, and she can wear the ones that came directly from the store w/o being washed w/o a problem.

Anyway. how are you feeling? Are you ready yet?! Have you got his stuff all set up??

We've got 3 WEEKS LEFT!!!
