My Daughter Evangeline Mary is beautiful and here, and my Husband and I are so overjoyed to have this little Angel in our lives. I hope all of you are feeling the same Love in your lives, as I have never felt more.. Fulfilled is a good word! Her 2 month appt is on the 8th of July, so I will let you know how she is growing, she is my little chunky girl, I love her full cheeks, will be putting new photos up soon, :-)

Hey, I'm preggo for the second time, but I miscaried last year, so this lovely little girl will be my first actual Baby! Her name is Evangeline Mary, and her nursery is almost finished, we are so excited to meet our little girl! Well, that about sums it up for now, so have a nice day.

Tuesday, 5 Feb

Ulgh! I am starting to feel too big for life. My husband makes fun of me every time I have to `roll ` off the couch, or every night when I wake up 3-4 times a night to pee. 12 weeks to go... And my 4-D is in a week and a half! My husband was deployed to the desert for all my previous sonagrams, so this will be the first time he see `s our baby girl. He is so excited and neither of us can wait. Gotta run love to all.

Wednesday, 20 Feb

Woo Hoo! all I needed to complete my nursery was a rocking chair, but I couldn `t find one that I really liked,... so I bounght one and tore it apart and re upholstered it to match the decor and now everything is perfect! I kno, I am an extra dose of crazy lately- I blame nesting- But yah 4 me!

Thursday, 21 Feb

And now a new thing for me to freak out about today- Fuzzy vision, light sensitivity, headache- So I called my doc, talked to a nurse, and she said not to come in until I `ve taken Tylenol.. Only I `m already at work 4 the day and have no Tylenol here, so I have to wait until I go home take the freakin pills and wait to see if they work on the headache before the doctor will see me. I hate this crap...

Thursday, 21 Feb

AND ABOUT TWO SECONDS AFTER THAT MINI-MELT DOWN, my co-worker is running to the store and is going to pick me up some tylenol!!!

Thursday, 21 Feb

And so I went to the doc- low blood pressure, braxton hicks, anemic, exhausted- so if I don `t get some sleep soon they will prescribe me Ambien- NE one heard anything bad about it?

Monday, 25 Feb

Grrr... am sick! as if life is hard enough right now my nose is running and my throat is sore. Got my 4-D sonogram yesterday! She is sooo cute! She has her daddy `s nose and full lips, and my high forehead... Lol, we are so excited! This was the first ultrasound Hubby made it to, as he was in the desert, so he was more excited than I was to take a look at our baby girl! Love to all, TTYL

Tuesday, 26 Feb

So I am kinda throwing my own baby shower as the girl who was suposed to went on a 2 month TDY. I didn `t realize how taboo it was until now, but it is too late to change it now, the shower is this Saturday, all the games are ready- all the goody bags and prizes are done as of last night, all i need to do is clean/decorate Fri night and get the food out and pick up the cake Sat b4 the party! Yeah I am neurotic, it is all good!

Wednesday, 27 Feb

Happy day! I slept so well last night, woke up briefly 4 our lil earthquake and a potty break- then slept thru till morning! I feel fabulous and energetic, I so need to sleep more often! So hard with this belly, and leg cramps, and heart burn and having to pee all the time... But you all kno the feeling! Love to all! Hope your having Good Days too!

Monday, 3 Mar

Baby shower was Saturday. Went off really well. Men BBQed, women played with all the babies, everyone had fun, nothing bad happened, will put up pics when I get them. Got some of the cutest outfits and blankets and all sorts of lil bitty things! Can `t wait till she is here to enjoy them too- ie- spit up all over the cute lil thingss!!!

Tuesday, 4 Mar

So last night finished washing all the baby things in Dreft and folded and put away... Hubby got tired of me holding up all the cute lil bits, but put up with it pretty well. I tried to explain to him that I don `t get to ignore the fact that we are going to be parents, or forget that I `m preggo- I have this extremely agravating-at-times belly with a creature that is constantly kicking me in the ribs these days! Oh well, I guess men just can `t understand, and he gets bored with my constant chatter about our daughter...

Wednesday, 5 Mar

Well now have started in on buying the stuff on my registry that I didn `t get at the baby shower! Still need about $350 more stuff, so next pay day I will finish getting everything. Guess that is good as I may be having her in about 5 1/2 weeks! 38 weeks sounds awaesome to me! Sorry to those who feel we should strive to keep our babies in as long as possible, but I am DONE. I `m 4 `11 ` and have already been told if she looks like she `ll be over 8 1/2 lbs she `s going to be cut out! And a scheduled induction at 38 wks is better than a caesarean. Yah- 5 1/2 weeks! SO excited CAN `T wait to see her and see past my belly button again! Those were listed in order of importance of course! I think I will print all pthis up when this is over and put them away for her to read when she is preggers in, oh, I `d say 35 yrs or so.... Lol, Have a Fantastic day all!

Monday, 10 Mar

So I added this to the 32 wk page, but figured I would put it up here too, as it just tickles me to death! LOL~ I have to share this! Haven `t been dying my hair since I `ve been prego, and was walking thru the store and paused to glance down the hair-dye aisle. Hubby goes `Finally! ` What?! ` I respond~ he goes `Well Hun, it `s been ages and your roots are showing and I `m bored with this color. ` Right as I was about to light into him, I realised that these were all reasons I had given him in the past for why I HAD to dye my hair, lol, he was parroting them back to me! He `s Trained! I was so impressed that I let him pick the color~ I am now raven-haired!

Wednesday, 12 Mar

ARGH!!! Just got back from my 32 wk appt, which I had at 33 wks cause doc was booked- then I get there today and end up seeing the doc I specifically requested not to see again- She is a total ditz and takes forever to answer a ? which she doesn `t really even answer in the end! Even my Husband was rolling his eyes the whole time- She gave us both a headache- and all of my carefully planned written down questions remain for the most part unanswered- I am so frustrated and irritated! Also, am not going to bi-weekly appts yet, they will not see me again for 4 weeks! The last day of my 36th week- christ, what if I go into labor by then, I `ll be one freaking day away from being considered term- such bull shit- if you don `t like my language get off my page- this is turning into an all out rant. Fucking military hospitals overseas- I have no other options in health care, can `t switch doctors, there is a good chance I will never have even met the doctor who will deliver my baby- and if anything were to go wrong they have nothing to fear as I am not permitted to sue their sorry asses. There are one or two good docs there, but there are also alot of incompetants who are military docs cause they couldn `t get a job anywhere else~ Really builds your confidence in them, HUH?! Sorry, but in such as PISSY mood!

Thursday, 13 Mar

So still a lil stressed about yesterday, as the doc also told me I am measuring 2 wks small, but at my last appt I was measuring large... So yea... But today I get my pre-natal massage- 4 more hrs! I have been looking forward to this all week, I just want to relax and hopefully she will be able to get my back into some kind of shape! Lol, so sad that my hubby won `t do his duty and give me massages everynight~ but this will have to do!

Monday, 17 Mar

So close, yet so far! I want this baby out of me, I want my waist, my energy, I want to roll over in bed without grunting! 3 weeks one day until full term, then it is game on! Everything and anything to get her out, I will try it~ Walking, sex, spicy food, pinapple, accupressure, you name it! Lol, just venting a bit, I am so ready for her to be in my arms, not my belly!

Tuesday, 18 Mar

Had my first contractions yesterday. They were painful and from the top of my stomach to my pelvis and all the way around through my back. I was in the shower when the first one hit, and all I could think was holy shit, I `m not having this baby! But we timed them- they felt like an abdominal/through the back charlie horse- and I only had 3 in an hour and a half so we didn `t bother with labor and delivery. I went to bed though, I felt like crap! And all better today, but it really brings it home that baby will be here soon!!! But I can wait a couple more weeks, I want to be able to bring her straight home when she arrives, no NICU!

Wednesday, 19 Mar

Tentative Baby Timeline- Already taking Raspberry leaf & Evening Primrose oil~ Apr 7 36 wk appt + sex, Apr 8 37 wks + sex, Apr 9 Baby Basics/Lamaize + sex, Apr 10 spicy food pineapple walking + sex, Apr 11 trampoline & castor oil & nipple stimulation + sex~ Apr 12 Labor and Baby!

Lol, If it works Horray! But so many ppl tell me that you can't plan your labor~ Well I'm sure as hell gonna try!!!

april 10 2008

Had worst doc appt ever! Stupid bitch completely ignored my questions, side stepped every inquiry, dashed every attemp to gain any insight into MY pregnancy. Acted like I was just too ignorant to understand even if she took the time. I am just so done with military health care, I want to smack the shit out of hewr, I hope I have this baby b4 my next appt. At least then I wouldn't have to see those condescending pieces of shit again. I am 37 wks already, and wont be seen again till i am 39 wks, she didn;t ck my cervix, didn't tell me my measurments, didn't ck the position of the baby, told me it will all be cked at my next appt, which as I already mentioned, IS AT 39 FUCKING WEEKS!!! I have now been seen 5 times in my entire pregnancy, and if things go my way, I won't be seen again~ Lazy ass quasi-physicians who have their heads so far up their asses.... ULGH! I am just so angry and disapointed and just pissed off that there are no alternative options for me to look into~ OH and teh L&D at my hosp is now under construction, so there are only 4 beds, all in one ward, with only one bathroom to be shared, and now I am no longer looking forward to my delivery as I thought I could labor in the private shower, ect, cept now I would be fighting off 3 other women, in a so not sanitary shared shower, OR if the beds r already taken, I will have to drive 1 1/2 hrs away to a city I have never been to in a hospital I have no idea how to find to deliver! I hate my hospital, I hjate my doctors, and I hate this super shitty situation!

15APR08

So ready for lil girl! I am hurting today, no sleep, back and ribs and pelvis all HURT.... I am hoping she will be out b4 Sunday, as I am scared she will show up on 4-20~ So don't need that bad juju, and the 20th is a full moon... I am hoping to have her this wk tho.... I will try everything! I did the castor oil thing this past weekend, not nasty or painful like ppl said, just didn't work for baby. Which is good I supose, that was what I liked about it, if baby isn't ready she won't be forced out by it. So maybe Friday I will try it again.... Tonite will prob give nipple stimulation a try again. Yesterday after work I cleaned my bedroom completely! The thought behind this being, the nursery has been ready for months, but the baby will be sleeping in our room for the first serveral months, so I had to move the basinette, playpen, diapering stuff, burp cloths, blankets ect into our room. Good thing our bedroom is HUGE, cause it all fits really well, and we also have a small couch in there so I have somewhere to sit with her. Also showed Brad both bags and the correct car seat to grab for the hospital. This is important because we have one american car and one brittish car. According to the law, the american car can have an american car seat, but a brittish car must have a brittish car seat. So depending on which car we take, we need to take the correct car seat! Well, Everthing is ready Baby! Head into the light!!!

24 April 2008

So had doc appt yesterday, Loved the new doctor! But bad news, GBS positive, but the lab tested for sensitivities and found an antibiotic that will work that I am not allergic to! More bad news, cervix is thick n closed, she tried to do a membrane sweep, but couldn't get her fingers up there... One thing tho, in attempting to shove her fingers thru my closed cervix, she apparently dislodged my mucus plug, lost it a couple hours after my appt!!! Yah Me! Lol, seems like everyone else lost theirs weeks ago, so I am a lil behind, but still really excited to have seen that nasty glob!!

7 May 2008

Sooo, 8 days over, nothing going on with the cervix, still high, closed and thick... Baby is floating, no indication of her coming on her own. Day after tomorrow I go into L&D for a NST and amniotic fluid check, growth scan, and we will schedule my induction then. I am hoping same day! But most likely monday, so so much for having her by Mother's Day... GRRRRR>>>>>>>>>>>>

first-time-mommy-to-b - Monday, 9 June
I am excited to get back to work, BUT I have to admit I did cry myself to sleep last night. I normally put her down at night as soon as she is finished with her night feeding and then turn in for the night...last night I held her her 2 hours and just cried and cried!! I can't believe I have to leave her today! I do have to say though...my mom is watching her until September so I shouldn't worry. Its not that I worry, its just that I wont be with her all day! Ya know? I put her in daycare in September (the soonest anyone could take us) and I am SUPER NERVOUS! Its just the thought...they will have 9 other babies, which means they won't be able to spoil her and pick her up whenever she wants them too. hehe I just want the focus to be on her and her needs, selfish, I know!! We will make it though...and I so will you! I am sure they will have an opening for Evangeline when you go back, things like that just seem to work out. Actually, now that you say that I am not even sure the daycare we decided on will have room for Hunter in September. I met with them and got the paperwork to guarentee her spot the day I went into labor, so needless to say I still have it and never turned it back in, I hope they still have room today. I am going by today to drop it off! Well, have a great day and enjoy those last two weeks off...they FLY by!! Be sure to keep in touch and thanks again for all of your help!!

SmurfWxMama - Monday, 9 June
That is so gay! I hate how they have a 3 day get back to you policy, especially on something like that ya know! We had sick call at Barksdale and I think it ran in the morning and in the afternoon for like an hour so you could at least try to get into one of those ya know, and they didn't have an er there so we got to go civilian, it was so nice, I miss that. These guys here are really good though too, I do like this er, but you know the doc will call you back today and tomorrow to answer your call right, hate how that one works!
My daughter had an allergic reaction when she was 17 mths old, and they wouldn't see her on base because they say they didn't have any time, so they sent me off base, I think it's cause we thought it was chicken pox and they didn't want to expose anyone else. So they tell me to go off base, and then the doc didn't even touch her, just said yeah it's chicken pox from about 7ft away from her. So I go out and get the calamine and all this other anti itch stuff, look for soothing body wash for her and what not, and she gets worse! by the next day she was swollen and blotchy and me being stupid just keeps on the treatment and keeps giving her the amoxacylin she's allergic to the whole time! I was even mad at hubby cause he always forgot to give it to her when I was at work! So finally it's the afternoon and I was like this is seriously not good cause she was all swollen and it started to look black underneath which was something they told me to watch for when I was pregnant with her, so I called the hotline to get a doc to call me back, we waited for an hour and were just about to head to the er when he called and said yeah to head to the er. This time I went to the hospital I liked and the doc was in the room not even 3 mins when he said yeah she's allergic to amoxacylin! I was so mad if I could have sued that other doc I so would have! So that's my rant, lol!!
But I will keep you posted this afternoon on how it goes, I don't have much hope but it's always worth a shot right!!

first-time-mommy-to-b - Monday, 9 June
Guess whos taking a bottle??? hehe YAY! Thank you so much for all of your help! She actually took right to the Dr. Borwn's nipple...I guess it was the texture. The Dr. Browns bottle has such a soft nipple! She did great with it, except she really got alot of air and was just misrable so we switched her to the playtex vent aire because I remembered you said that is what ya'll went with. I have to put the Dr. Brown nipple in the playtex bottle but hey, whos complaining!?! hehe Actually the playtex has a rather soft nipple too...I havn't let her try it yet, I just don't want to confuse her. I will give her a week or so and then see if she will take that nipple as well. The only problem we are having so far is now she is having difficulty latching on when I breastfeed...not too bad, but it takes her a few trys where as it only took her 1 try before. I guess we will cross that bridge a little at a time. Thank you SOOO much for all of your help! I hope you and Evangeline and doing good!! Keep in touch! Thanks again!

aubreyd08 - Sunday, 8 June
haha! Glad I could make your day!!! ;0)

I'll definately check out mindieswan's blog - thank you.

I seem to be getting a lot of the same response which makes me feel better. I wanted to make sure my raging new-mommy-hormones weren't taking over my logical thinking self... which isn't really all that logical - being that I can be quite controlling sometimes! ;0)

sunshinemaria - Sunday, 8 June
Hey--good info! Thanks for putting my wondering mind to rest. :)

SmurfWxMama - Saturday, 7 June
my appt is on monday so there is still time for us to pray!!! But as a bonus to me I was having some really nasty contraction type things when i wasn't even doing anything, people try to tell me braxton hicks, which I've been having for months, so sorry for you they not!!! These things hurt like hell, so just another thing to tell the doc on monday, plus all the sudden I am like so freaking exhausted all the time it is not even funny, of course my luck the doc will take one look at my chart, not even me, and say "oh there's nothing wrong we'll just wait and see in another 4 weeks..." damn idiots!!
But I will definitely keep you posted and I am so not having Gallagher next time, I better never have to see her again!

amberizzle - Saturday, 7 June
Hey, thanks for your response about breastfeeding! Yeah, I had my c-section on the 3rd. It was FANTASTIC. I could not have asked for a better experience. The heart monitor sounded an alarm a few times due to high heart rate but other than that there were no complications and I was up moving around the same day. My pain is minimal with medication and is so easy to manage that I can go for almost 24 hours without taking one pill if I forget. The scar is great and was sealed with surgical glue instead of staples. I even got to have baby in the recovery room with me (she was waiting for me with daddy when I got there) and she never left my side except for infant exams. :) I'm thrilled with the whole experience. I will tell you, though, that I hated the epidural and had it removed the next day after the surgery. It was great during the procedure, but afterward it made me severely itchy, sleepy and irritable. Anyway, take care! AND! CONGRATS ON YOUR BABY!

gabymom - Saturday, 7 June
Good to hear that everything went well, hope you feel better soon. I was in Ramstein for 3 years,we came to Macdill in Dec. and I love it. The weather here is great, and also I am closer to home. I am from Puerto Rico but had live in the states for 15 yrs.

gabymom - Friday, 6 June
MilMom2be;

Hope you went to the ER. I know your feelings. My hb is in the military too and while we were in Germany I had 2 miscarriages and they were horrible in the hospital, both times they send me home to wait for the fetus to pass, because they said since I was not the active member and was not an emergency I was not a priority. Thanks God for the insurance people who refered me to a german hosptal the next day to have a D&C. So I know most of military health facilities sucks. Hope you get better, keep me posted.

first-time-mommy-to-b - Friday, 6 June
I know what you mean...I was so hung up on the BPA free and now its like "If only I could get her to take ANY bottle". ugh! Monday is coming closer and closer and that means I am running out of time. I don't have too much choice, I really HAVE to go back to work Monday. She will suck on the NUK nipples, BUT they still gag her...we are trying breastflow right now and she does okay, but it has a really fast flow, which I didn't expect. We have tried Medela, Thinkbaby, Playtex (two kinds of nipples), Nuk and now Breastflow. I just don't know what to do. The big problem is I will be here by myself after this afternoon so I am really out of luck b/c she won't even try when I try to give her the bottle! My mom is too impatient! She tried for a whole 30 seconds last night before she was yelling my name saying "just feed this baby". She doesn't understand...if it were that easy I would just stay home with her, ya know? I talked to her Dr.s office and they say she will take it when she gets hungry enough and to quit changing bottles b/c that will confuse her even more. UGH!! How long did it take Evangeline to start taking the bottle once you found a good nipple? Hunter will take like a 1/2 ounce to an ounce then fall asleep...I think she thinks that when she wakes up she won't have to take the bottle anymore. :) Sorry to vent, just needed to relieve some tension. I didn't sleep all night b/c I was thinking about this!!

Daisy04 - Friday, 6 June
Thanks so much for the website.. Im glad Im not the only one having the idea to have the baby in my bedroom.. The website is great. I see your from the UK. Im from Scotland originally but living in Houston Texas for the last 10 years. Im convinced its an american thing to put the baby in its own nursery. Apart from it being dangerous I think to myself...the poor little thing getting stuck away in a room by its self!! What can you say..all my friends out here are asking when the nursery will be finished...we havnt even started to make one yet...mabey when the baby is about 8 months we will start. I feel much better knowing I can wake up and look over and check he is breathing ok. xxx Daisy

first-time-mommy-to-b - Friday, 6 June
Thanks! It makes me feel better knowing I am not the only one having this problem. Can I ask what bottles you finally ended up using? We have tried Medela, Playtex, Thinkbaby, Nuk and now Breastflow??? Help! Any tricks up your sleeve? She just screams and screams at the sight of a bottle? She was doing okay with her Aunt, but now not so well!

Mindieswan - Friday, 6 June
They decide when they want to come out. It's really not up to us. Everyone has told me what day to have her, I just ignore them and laugh. I am very close with my mom, so I love that she wants me to have her on her birthday. My husbands good friend has a wife, who is a total pain in the ass. She told me that she would be really pissed if she has her little boy on her birthday. I thought, how selfish. Can't even share your bday with your kid. WOW!! She is all about her anyhow..

Mindieswan - Thursday, 5 June
You got what you wanted in the end, so that is all that matters. It's important that we make the decisions and the rules. I just don't know that my MIL will get the hint. Soo, I might end up sending it to her again.. lol.

Mindieswan - Thursday, 5 June
HAHA..well, the blog is not that nice either.. haha. My MIL won't listen I am sure. She will learn real quick though. I'm not afraid to tell her to back the heck off and let me raise my child. She had her turn, now it's mine. :)

MonikaOH - Wednesday, 4 June
I am so sorry to hear that.
I guess I am lucky with healing. All I complain about is lack of sleep and ulcer like symptoms (bad breath no matter how many times I brush my teeth and frequent nausea). I was a little bit affraid since during second week I had to get groceries and pushed heavy cart but my incision seems to be fine. Hope you feel better!

SmurfWxMama - Wednesday, 4 June
Oh yeah I hear you on the getting out, we were going to get out at 4 years and just give it a go but these babies man they need everything, electricity, heat, food, can't just live on ramen and wrap up in blankets with candles like we can! And I am sorry but no way in heck am I going to live with my parents, or his for that matter, just shoot me first!

SmurfWxMama - Wednesday, 4 June
I know what your saying, I want him to have a job he enjoys so he needs to work on something and figure it out, so I'm glad he's started doing that, and I'm about 3-4 classes away from my ccaf as well, gotta see if my transcript can still come from the classes I took in high school which if they take them puts me at 3 classes I think, and I'm sure I could try to clep them, that would be so nice!
Good luck with yours! and the hubby's!

nmck - Wednesday, 4 June
AAGGHH! I would go crazy stuck at home for the long. How about internet shopping?

MonikaOH - Tuesday, 3 June
go on line! amazon nan things remembered will deliver on time. I had a c section as well but have been driving 5 days after.

sharon - Tuesday, 3 June
In a nutshell - my reason for being over here in the UK is because of my Austrian husband. I have been here for 2 years already. We plan to move to NJ next year sometime after his green card goes through. It is ridiculous how expensive everything here. I can't believe they pay you in dollars!

sharon - Tuesday, 3 June
By the way...our delivery stories are almost identical (except I got the epidural an hour after they started the PItocin!)

sharon - Tuesday, 3 June
Hi there! I'm an American living in the UK too! Drop me a line if you ever want to chat! Hope you and your baby are well! She is precious!

SmurfWxMama - Tuesday, 3 June
Girl I know how you are feeling about hubby's decision, I told my hubby he could get out but I am in and staying in for as long as I want to. That way him and our kids still get healthcare, we still have a steady paycheck to work with, so things will be a little better than some couples who both get out. He's trying to take classes now and we're both trying to get pretty hardcore about our schooling so that will help. I think he may stay in for another tour be we'll have to see about that....

Eloises-Mummy! - Monday, 2 June
ahhh that sucks, shame you dont get much time to be with your little one without the interuption of work. i wish i didnt have to go back to work at all, but the bills are calling out to be paid. damn them. Im settling in fine with things, its more me and my parnter that have the problems lol different views on how things should be done. the poor buggar has no paitence at all lol. how are things going for you, not giving you too much trouble i hope.
