BIRTH STORY

Well Monday, Feb 11th, I had a scheduled induction. Once I got there I filled out all of the paperwork and got settled in, hooked up to the monitors, etc. Around 7:15pm I recieved the first Cytotek(?) pill to start ripening my cervix some more. At 11 I took the second one and at 3am they gave me the third one. Around 3:30am, the contractions started to get really painful and were coming about 4 mins apart but I was still only 2cms, so they gave mea sleeping pill to help me get some rest. The next morning my dr. came in to check me at 8:30am and I was still at a 2 and in serious pain. She broke my water and they started me on Pitocin. At around 10am, I was only 3cms and in serious pain so I broke down and got an epidural. WHAT A RELIEF!!!!! So around 12:30pm I was only 4cms, labor was progressing very slow, so I was starting to get irritated. I went to sleep only to have the nurse wake me up at about 4pm and say that I was a 7 almost 8, man was I happy. So at 4:30 my dr. comes in to check me and Im already 9 1/2cm so she tells me to push with the next contraction to see if we can move my cervix out of the way...it does!!! She goes to get dressed and then I start to feel sick, I start throwing up everywhere and that was making me push him down. The nurses were saying they could see his head by the time my dr. made it back in the room. THIS IS WHERE ALL HELLLLLLL BREAKS LOOSE. So I start to push and they keep saying I can see the head he`s almost out, Im getting irritated because they keep saying the same damn thing and I am STILL throwing up constantly. After pushing for 30 mins she decides to try the vacuum on his head, it doesnt work because he has tooo much hair. Meanwhile, my epidural is starting to wear off in one leg!!! The I start to have a freaking ASTHMA ATTACK, I though I was gonna die!!!After pushing some more she decides to try the vacuum again because now everyone is getting paranoid thinking something is wrong, it worked this time and out he came at 5:50pm on Feb 12th. Once he was out all I heard was silence, and then several `oh my God`s` and `wow he is huge`. He somehow managed to get the cord around his neck twice, but was breathing ok, but he did damage to mommy, I had to get over 60 stiches(they stopped keeping track at 60) and the entire time my dr. is stiching me she is constantly asking how much did he weigh.............drumroll please.........8 LB 15 OZ 22IN..........and they predicted he would be no more than 7lb 11oz. Yea right!!!! It was hell but I wouldnt trade it for the world!!!!

FEB 24TH

Wow, Cayden is already 12 days old.....he is such a good baby, he never cries(knock on wood).....every now and then he may cry durin his diaper change but that is it....he sleeps in intervals of 3-5 hours and sometimes I have to wake him up to eat. He is smiling already, cooing, and today he actualy rolled over, it scared me to death. He is so alert, always looking and watching everyone. We went for his 1 week checkup on Friday and he is already 10lb 10oz...he gained almost 2lbs in a week, such a fat baby!!!! I love him to death!!!!! Every pain was well worth it!

July 20

So I wanted Sonic at 11:30, went and got a extra long cheese coney and a strawberry slush, took three sips and threw it all up in the trashcan. I AM SO DEVASTATED, strawberries are my fav fruit and now the smell/taste/thought of them makes me vomit. Everything hurts from head to toe and I can never eat or keep anything down, but never the less Im GRATEFUL that I get to experience it at all!!!

July 21

All I have to say is: SUGAR COOKIES!!!! lol..... Ok so it is 1:10 in the morning and I have just finished making 4 dozen homemade sugar cookies. I am beginning to hate knowing how to cook because everytime I get a craving I just go in the kitchen and whip it up!!! What should I do?


August 11

YAY!!! 14 weeks and I feel so much better. I really dont have morning or all day sickness anymore. Only thing bothering me now are the headaches, tiredness, and aches/pains...oh well, you win some you lose some. My cravings have been all over, I almost want everything I see. Anywho, I find out if its a girl or boy on Monday, IM SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!! My belly is huge now but Ive still lost wieght which is why I think the weight is just shifting from other places. Well stay tuned ladies, I will update everyone on Monday!

August 15

Ok, so I now have to wait until the 10th to find out the sex due to the fact that on Monday my doctor had a emergency delivery. Wow, what a way to bring down my high, lol. I was so ready to go start buying things, but oh well the 10th will be here soon enough. The fatigue is really getting to me, I feel like I am being drained. Other than that no complaints except for the round ligament stretching pains. They hurt like HELL!!! Lol, stay tuned!

August 16

Underwater once again!!! When will it end? Ok so I know everyone has seen the news Houston is flooding again, I mean dang when will it stop? Now with Hurricane Dean seemingly headed to the Gulf also, I just give up. I refuse to sit in traffic for seven hours again......sorry guys Im just venting.

August 21

Ok so now that I am finished venting, baby and I are doing ok. Well it would be so much better if the headaches and tiredness would disappear fully. I am so ready to find out if it is a girl or boy but for some reason I keep refering to the baby as her.15 weeks and counting, man time is flying. Oh well its time for a nap, later ladies!!!

August 23

Texas heat is HELL!! I feel like im cooking in my skin just walking into Best Buy!!! If I could scream out loud and not scare anyone I would!!!!!

August 31

Okay I cant wait until the 10th of Sept, but it seems to be taking forever. Well I have finally figured out the name if it is a boy or if its a girl. Here goes ladies.......let me know what you think!!!!

September 11

Hello all my name is............

CAYDEN JARON RANDLE or CAYDEN RAYMOND RANDLE(daddys middle name)????

15 WEEKS AND 5 DAYS!!! What happened to my waist? IM FAT, OMG!!! Soon as baby is here we will be faithful members of the gym, lol.

I am very unhappy with the website right now, because I have alot of things missing!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr!

October 4

Well today has started off like any other day, Cayden wakes up mommy by kicking my bladder to make me give him some extra room. His little kicks still make me laugh until he gets angry about something and then you can actually see him kick from the outside. Him is already mommy's lil spoiled boy. So far I have only bought a couple of outfits, Im doing a good job of keeping myself in line!!!!! Next Dr. appt is next Tuesday at 10:00am. I cant believe im almost 22 weeks now, whooooaaaaa, time is flying by!!!! Since Im still pretty angry I have to type stuff over, this is it for now!!!

October 11

Ok hopefully I wont have to retype all of this at a later date,GRRRRRRR. Anywho had my appt on Tuesday, Im almost 23 weeks and this little one is weighing a lil over 1.5lbs, yea him needs a diet lol. But myself on the other hand havent gained one pound. Im actually under the weight I started at, even though I look like a balloon Im losing weight everywhere else and depositing it in my tummy. I dont mind because then it will be easier to lose.Cayden is fine and I have recently come to terms that I have a mean baby,lol, the nurse touched my belly to find him and when I told her he was running away from her, he kicked her. Once she place the doppler on my tummy he fought it for about 10 mins, then when she caught him slipping he flipped and started going crazy so she told him she would leave him alone for now and my lil punkin settled back down!!! SOOOOOO CUTE!!! He does not like to share his mommy, so my nurse and doctor have both imformed me that Im in big trouble!!! lol, cuz him is a meanie!!! Had to give more blood because this visit my liver functions are elevated and my dr doesnt like that, every visit there is something wrong with my bloodwork, I have my GD screen on the 6th so hopefully that will come back ok....anyways Im going back to bed, baby dust to all.

October 20

Sorry I was missing ladies but I have been in the hospital since Monday. Apparently this lil bugger loves to make mommy miserable and sick!!! I couldnt keep anything down and went in to see my dr who sent me next door to the hospital and admitted me. Talk about being caught off gaurd!! I now have a catheter and am on a Reglan pump which sucks because I have to wear/carry it around for the remainder of my pregnancy. I have to constantly switch the needle every 3 days to the other leg, sooooo annoying, but anything for Cayden!!! Baby Cayden is fine weing almost 2 lbs, and was being his usual mean self running around. I may go shopping today(thanks Niece!!!), lol but only for clothes and stuff. I may go buy some 0-3 months stuff today since everything I have is mostly 3-6 months. Ok thats all.

November 1

Where do I begin??? Pregnancy is a bunch of bull!!!, lol....Im tired all the time,cant sleep because Cayden big self is always poking out of my tummy, and he loves to tug on the unbilical cord to wake me up. Oh and on top of that he is a little mean mommys boy. He still wont let anyone near me or he has a KICKING FIT!!!! What have I gotten myself into?!?!?, but none the less I still love my punkin...Im just ready for the last 11 weeks to fly by. My baby shower will be on Dec. 20th, and instead of having 2 or 3 everyone is coming together and we will have one mass shower, so we are looking at 75 people at the least!! I told my 2 bffs' and my mom to have fun planning that,lol. I think I would be in a better mood if I didnt have all the pressure, it feels like everything is about to fall out. I feel sorry for my Cayden at times cuz he really is running out of room, then when he cant get comfy he gets PISSED and starts kicking my tummy like that will give him more room. It hurts like hell but is funny/scary to know he has a temper like his mommy!!! Oh yea, I got my first kick to the ribs yesterday and almost cried. That hurt like hell!!!!

November 6th

Guess what!!!!! NO GESTATIONAL DIABETES!!! YAY! but my anemia is being stubborn so I have to up the dosage on my pills, booo! Cayden is fine...being his usual fat and mean self. Now instead of running from the doppler and doctor he rushes over there to kick and punch them weighing in at 2 1/2 lbs. I can see he will have issues with being sociable just like him mommy, which is NOT GOOD!!! My reglan pump is apparently working because Ive gained 10lbs in a month, most of it is fluid my doc says so I gotta rest with my feet up all day and take it easy. Can someone tell me what an ankle looks like, lol, all I have are legs and feet which ache something terrible. BUT I wouldnt trade this for the world because I get a lil Cayden in the end! (Even though I do waddle around like a duck,lmao...)

November 28th

Nothing new, still have a lil kickboxer in my belly. Im tired of the aches and pains but when i think about it Cayden is so worth the trouble. He doesnt seem to like the head down position so i am hoping that wont be a problem, he will turn head down for a while just to later on decide to go pack to the transverse position or feet down position. Im really beginning to think he will be too big to deliver due to my size(5'3). Still on bedrest but im not complaining because lately all i want to do is lay around. Now im really beginning to feel pressure and y cervix hurts from his kicks/head butts all the time. On the plus side i will be considered full term in 6 weeks, yay. My bf and stepson can to visit for a week over the holidays and i was so happy considering it is a 3 hour drive. I hate the fact that we cant see each other as much as we used to but he wants me to have help with the baby and save some money so i have decided to move back to my moms until march. Ill still be going to school but it will be online so Cayden and i can still go see daddy every weekend. Well its time to go to sleep, so until next time(Dec.4th next appt.), baby dust to all!!!!

December 20th

Ok, today I had the last one of my two baby showers and it was sooo much fun. It was actually pretty intimate with me and my 4 besties. We went to Olive Garden and bought cake and gifts and had a blast. Cayden has everything he needs except his travel system,crib, and play yard, but those are all Christmas gifts. The only thing I have to get is a breast pump. Im sooooo excited my lil man is almost here, but at the same time Im nervous. I have an u/s Wednesday to see how much bigger he has gotten and to make sure my placenta has moved up. The last time they checked they estimated him to be around 5lbs, such a big baby!!! If he is still measuring big on Wednesday Im gonna ask to be induced 2 weeks early around Jan 26th,lol. Other than that we are both doing ok, Im just continuing to be nauseous and sick everyday, but I wouldnt trade it for the world. Until next time, take care mommies,mommies-to-be, and all of the ttc mommies!!!!

January 2

So I had an u/s this morning and my due date was moved up to Feb 6th but I seriously doubt he will wait that long. He is head down and his head is so far down in my pelvic area that the tech couldnt even see him face. Cayden weighed in at 6lb1oz so if I do make it to 40 weeks he will be well over 8.5 pounds, YIKES!!!! Ummmm yea pregnancy sucks right now, i have so much pressure down there I can hardly stand up let alone walk, Im gonna ask my dr. to induce me at my appt on Friday!

He has been pretty active for the last hour. This morning I woke up and sat up in the bed and I saw my tummy move again. this time it was right at my belly button. I tried to wake Cj with no luck. I did not want to move too much cause I thought that he would stop doing it. My tummy has been itching all day. I am trying not to scratch. So hard!!

duejan31 - Wednesday, 26 Sep
Sorry for the absence last night. I had a emotional night. I really dont know what was wrong but something was wrong. It just seemed like everything was going wrong. I did get my hamburger helper and I brought more for lunch. So I will be enjoying it again today. I went to bed so early last night, that is after I ate and had a great cry.


duejan31 - Wednesday, 26 Sep
