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. pregnancy

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>>>>>>>>>>>>

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. take care x


flickmonkey - Monday, 2 June
i know i read your story, its one hell of an experience, but one id love to go through again. i know what you mean abot the breastfeeding, im not sure i can do it much longer either. except i dont have to go back to work soon its just so hard physically to keep up shes such a hungry baby lol. how come you have to go back in 3 weeks? your in england arent you, or do you still have to abide by american maternity laws?


flickmonkey - Sunday, 1 June
aww you had her, shes adorable. how ar ethings going for you? x


littlecavalier - Saturday, 31 May
 What a precious little girl, I love the little tongue sticking out!


jenlove - Saturday, 31 May
I saw your post and you give me hope. I had onevof those moments this morning, not bad, but I had not had one in a week or so so I thought it was getting better. I am very sleep deprived, really needed a shower, and my mom left today. So I just asked my husband to take over and not I'm going to take a nap. He was born on the 14th. Oh well, those moments here and there are to be expected, right? How are you and your little one? Hope you're all doing well.


gabymom - Friday, 30 May
Thanks, I tell him all the time, I guess hb do not fully understand all this baby new world. No wonder why man can't have kids.LOL


SmurfWxMama - Friday, 30 May
Yeah I'm really hoping I can get them to do something since this will be my 32 week appt and it will give me just enough time to get everything ready ya know and settled and give my mom time to decide if she can get off and what not so we'll see.
Boss finally put me on mostly days and admin shift the next few months, thinking he really doesn't want me to have blood pressure problems and get put on quarters or what not, and he's really ok with the scheduled induction option so then he can put it in the schedule and know what's going on. So I'm gonna cross my fingers...I'm seeing Oliver this next appt and I've nver had her before, so maybe if she says no I'll see if I can't talk with Wexler or Col Tate if she's still here ya know, I gotta figure out something, and I am not about to go 2 weeks over like you did and then still end up with a c section so we'll see how it goes.
Maddi was pretty much the same way Evangeline is, she didn't do days but she loved waking me up at night! Even now she'll stay up till all hours and still be up no later than 8am! Wish I had her energy, hell I wish I got her naps in the afternoon too!!


snowwhite5thbabe - Friday, 30 May
I'm using lotion to help the skin on my stomach shrink back down more quickly. :)


clackkit - Friday, 30 May
This is just a stab in the dark but is it possible that your periods could be starting again? Im not sure when they are supposed to start again after pregnancy but i had to have a D&C a year ago after a missed micarriage and i started my periods 2-3 weeks after. I dont know if the same principal applies after going full term. Although my dr did tell me you can bleed on and off for 6 weeks so long as your not passing big clots. Hope this helps
xx


rabekah - Thursday, 29 May
 She looks like a baby doll. She is very beautiful. Daddy better be on high alert in a few years. Thanks for the advise on breast feeding. I will do a little toe tickling.


SmurfWxMama - Wednesday, 28 May
So....my mom made a comment last night about how if I had an induction date she might be able to come out and help me a little....what are the odds of the docs being ok with that though ya know....don't want to get my hopes all up and then they get shattered, lol, that would suck! But I'm thinking of talking to them and seeing what might work, would be great if they could help me out like that ya know, that would make me feel a lot better and not so stressed.....so we'll see what they say, I'm going with a no but the weather has been kinda wonky lately so maybe hell froze over and we just didn't hear about it!!
How's baby girl doing today, any better getting a schedule together???


snowwhite5thbabe - Wednesday, 28 May
Kind of like that, but not as bad-just sudden pain shooting in different directions. That's gone now, though...But I'm still having the nerve pain from scar to over my hip, to my spine, (mostly on my right, but sometimes on my left)...worse when I'm sleeping on that side. Hopefully it will go away once the stitches dissolve. Dr. told me there are some that dissolve after 12 weeks. So hopefully I'll feel good after that... :)
I haven't had any leg pain...


gabymom - Wednesday, 28 May
Thanks, i really hope it goes away soon i hate to feel like this. I will check with my dr. on my next appointment if i do not feel better. will keep you posted. thanks again I really appreciated.


mtnwoman - Wednesday, 28 May
 OMG! She is a gorgeous baby! Not all baby's are that beautiful right after they are born! Congrats and good job!


mumof5kids - Wednesday, 28 May
well maybe you need to keep trying to introduce a bottle of your going to be working....a friend of mine had a little boy and he never got into the swing of things with a bottle...she had to feed herself and then ween him on a beaker....nightmare eh!
anyway i have expressed all day today, and it feels so much nicer.....no limpet on me for a whole day .."sigh of relief lol" i am going to be speaking tomorrow with my health visitor and i am going to get her to come round and see if im getting him on there as he should be..maybe im just doing it wrong?????


mumof5kids - Tuesday, 27 May
thanks for your message....i have expressed nearly all the bottles today...do you think im going to end up making it worse by doing this??? maybe they will heal and be to soft again if i dont feed him and get through this pain.. i dont know if im doing the right thing..the only thing i do know is that expressing the milk is taking my mind off wanting to cry every time my dyson suction baby latches like a limpet to my poor poor boobs...lol
do you think that breastfeeding and taking the pain will be more effective than putting my milk in bottles for the time being...atleast i know my milk wont dry up by doing this... its so easy to think " time for tinned milk " but i really dont want to even though i have tins in the cupboard just incase ha ha


Bri - Tuesday, 27 May
Don't worry about it. I was a dork for not including our women too. I can't believe I did that. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was awesome. I went and saw the family including my new nephew. I just posted pictures from this weekend. I'm excited to say Kekoa is standing now. He is full blown crawling (fast too) and pulling himself up by himself. He is trying to cruise right now. Crazy!


emma1230 - Tuesday, 27 May
hey there! I have tried to push that button, and it does nothing for me. I don't know why it won't work.. i push it and i fill in the info, when I am done, it takes me back to the home page..


Bri - Tuesday, 27 May
I'm that I didn't think of that. I feel really embarrassed. I know many active women too, most aren't mothers though. I'm sorry and didn't think. I was thinking of this Memorial Day without my baby cousin (he died at 21) and I wanted to share that I'm very proud of our service men...and women for everything they have done. I should have included you women too. Like I said I was thinking of you and the other ladies too. I will have to post a comment about my embarrassment. Thank you for correcting me.


~NyMom - Sunday, 25 May
Thank you for your message.. my doc didn't talk to me about the IUD.. right now we are going to use condoms and if we feel there is a need to change method ( which we are planning to try again when she is about a year or 2) I will look into that.. I am pretty scared about placing a foreign contraceptive in me.. I heard alot of scary things about IUDs..I guess it works for some and not for others.. thanks again take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend! ;0)


snowwhite5thbabe - Friday, 23 May
Thanks for asking them!
I'll be 3 weeks post-op Saturday, and I'm still pretty sore around my incision (including new shooting nerve pains, as the nerves come out of their numb state). The getting out of bed is getting easier, though.
How are you feeling now?
I'm glad that breastfeeding is going well for you and your daughter... :)


SmurfWxMama - Friday, 23 May
Yeah I know it's hard to find childcare when you need it ya know, very scary and I'm so hopin my guy gets a slot quick otherwise I don't know what we'll be doing either! I was so lucky to be in the states when I first had to learn about the family care plan, but when we came over here it was hectic to and now it's just gonna be easy cause we already have one!! I don't envy you that one! But remember you can have one military member on there, doesn't help that much but it helps some, it's one block less to worry about! For ours we have like only people I work withs spouses, if I were to deploy hubby would be lost!
Glad she's happy for you tonight and hope you were able to get her to sleep! I know how that can be, hope hubby helps out cause that will help when you go back to work, mine was pretty much letting me do it all, all the time, it was hectic, this time I'm makin him do more, when he gets back anyway, lol!


SmurfWxMama - Friday, 23 May
ok so you totally crushed my hopes with that L&D timeline!!! But that's good that they were decent in the rooms, my luck I'll get a room with all the civilian wives that hate the military and the doctors and are gonna do whatever they want, ahh!! But that's ok I'll just call up my friend and have her beat everyone's @$$!!
