Hey! Just checking in to see how you're doing? I've been doing pretty well and am looking forward to my to my last week of work next week! The baby seems to be doing well too. I was getting worried cause he was so quiet yesterday, but today he's been kicking and wiggling and stretching around in there more than ever. I guess he's finding it a little narrow now, perhaps he's trying to push his way out. Hard to believe he's gonna get even bigger in there!!!

She had a rash today on her body. It's strange she has been on the same formula for a week & all the clothes she wears have been washed in the same soap & she hasn't had a rash before. Maybe the fabric she had on? Last night I put a 0-3 month onesie on her and it was way big on her. I'm not used to that! My last child only wore a couple of 0-3 things mostly 3-6 right when he came home. I bet your used to that with big babies. That sucks about the hubbys back, that is so painful! Will he still be able to go to work? How many weeks do you have left?
poprocksncoke - Thursday, 8 May
aww thanks.. I am saving coupons too.. I have tons of them.
WIC requirements are something crazy like you have to make less than 2k GROSS a month. I wouldnt be having a baby if I made that little!! Its sad.. ooh I am still having cravings.. is that weird? I am wanting some thin mint cookies.
poprocksncoke - Thursday, 8 May
OOH sorry to hear about hubby!! hope he is ok!!! hubby said he was gong to get a parttime job if we had to go on formula.. lol I said its not THAT serious. I wish we qualified for WIC.. that would be a big help.. but the requirements are shit for it :(

I am with you on being tired of being pregnant. Its almost a love/hate thing. I love it, but i want to be able to move around again! I don't get to take any time off until June 6th. That will be my last day. I wanted to work as close to my dd as i could, but with a few days off before. I can't believe thats only 4 weeks away. It seems like I just found out i was pregnant. Its just so weird how you can have so many emotions when your pregnant, I really never had a clue before lol.
momofboys - Wednesday, 7 May
That's funny about your hubby thinking of his bday. My bday is May 11, which is Mothers day this year. We are going to stay home invite some people over & bbq. I will never go out to eat on Mothers Day, I used to work in a restaurant and it is the busiest day of the year. No thanks! Plus it's not fun to go out to eat with kids and have to wait forever to get a table. I wish I knew how to bring on labor. I tried everything! I am so out of shape, I jumped on the trampoline for a few minutes yesterday & felt like I was going to pass out!
poprocksncoke - Wednesday, 7 May
She is doing good.. last night she slept after her midnight and 3am feeding so I basically got like 4-5 hours sleep!!
I felt amazing when I got up haha.
I dunno how to bring on labor.. it may be a coincindence.. but I was reading abou tpressure points in your feet and ankles.. and I went and got a pedicure done. Told her to rub my feet and ankles hard.. and my water broke that night.. so maybe try that. If not... you get to relax a bit :)
poprocksncoke - Wednesday, 7 May
We call her both :)
No she still wont latch on.. I am really sad about it.. I think it is messing with me emotionally not being able to bond with her like that.. but I will be alright..
momofboys - Wednesday, 7 May
Yhea I think I will go with the water slide. Then I can be home all day with Alayna. I know what you mean about the hemmeroids. I have been using suppositories, they work great! Yhea I am NEVER getting pregnant again! EVER! I had a nightmare I got pregnant when Alayna was 2 weeks old! My hubby is getting the snip snip! Thank goodness. Any big plans for mothers day?
poprocksncoke - Tuesday, 6 May
fenugreek is a herbal supplement that you take like 3 in the morning and 3 at night.. but it makes everyhing smell like maple syrup lol weird!!! So my pee, milk everything smells like maple syrup.. thats annoying. I am pumping every hour right now.. just to get stimulation so I produce more. I was only getting like 2oz every 3 hours.. now I am up to 3.5 oz every 3 hours.. I am going to start freezing it for the sitter when she goes in August. :)
KariLynn - Tuesday, 6 May
Hey there, I still haven't gotten a hold of the doctor. I really dont think the cracking is anything to worry about! I am very sore today though I have been so busy at work, can't seem to sit down even for a couple minutes! Its driving me crazy. Now that I am down, I don't want to get back up lol. Otherwise how are things? I am glad the weather is nice with the exception of some clouds and a couple sprinkles. I can't wait til I am done working for my baby leave!! YAY!!!
momofboys - Monday, 5 May
I bottle feed. She is a 4-6 hour baby. Last night she slept 7 hours! I hate that feeling when you wake up & are in a panic so run to her room. It's nice to get a full nights sleep though. We put her on the couch in her boppy and she sleeps so peaceful! All the kids being loud & the tv, she just sleeps through it all. I guess she will be a heavy sleeper. LOL! I've been feeling pretty good but today I have some killer period like cramps. I guess it's my uterus contracting back to size? I bet you are so ready to have your baby. Only one more month! I am trying to figure out what to do for Jake & Noah's birthday party. Noah will be 6 on June 9th & Jake will be 8 June 11th. I am thinking about renting an inflatable water slide & having it here at the house & we can invite everyone they want, or renting a limo & they can each take one friend and we can go to Chuck E Cheese. It is so easy just having one party for the both of them. Hope your feeling good. TTYL!

I have no idea on the different cameras.. mine is a basic one. I would love one of the fancy ones.. but we just dont have money to drop on that stuff right now. Thats why I am really hoping my milk comes in better.. I have just 2 oz I can pump about ever 3 hours for her... and thats just what she needs.. no extra.. I would love extra to make bottles and stuff and store but I need to look into how to increase the supply.. I am taking Fenugreek pills.. its a herbal supplement that is supposed to naturally increase it.. but it hasnt done anything as of yet.
poprocksncoke - Monday, 5 May
Uhm I wake her every 3 hours for feedings.. she will sleep right through them if I don't. I read all over the place that crying is the last sign of hunger.. so I dont want to do that to her. I am pumping breastmilk. The lactation consultant at the hospital was having me latch her on wrong.. so when I finally was taught the right way, she won't do it. I guess she feels like I am gagging her or something. I am going to try and talk to another one this week to see if they can get her to latch on to me.. that would be easier than pumping.. but if not at least she is getting milk from me for now. I am afraid if she doesnt nurse from me.. I will dry up from the horomones not coming through or something :( I dunno.
A good camera.. I have always been partial to cannon.. I would say get anything that is over 6MP to get good pictures and one that has lots of different settings to take in different places. I want to get a new camera. I just have a basic lil kodak one that I got like 3 years ago. Actually we are saving for a camcorder now :)
poprocksncoke - Sunday, 4 May
I was scared as hell during the surgery.. I bawled my eyes out. Seriously.. I have never cried so hard in my entire life.
My doctor said I could do stairs.. the hospital said no.. lol so I dont have any stairs in my house though.. just going up to it. So its not a big deal. I am off work until July 8th. So I have a little bit.. I just know its going to go so fast and I will be REALLY sad when I have to go back!
poprocksncoke - Sunday, 4 May
Sorry to bring down the whole c-section thing.. I had not even envisioned that as a option when I was thinking about my labor. I figured I would go through everything naturally.. and when it didn't happen, well it was VERY overwhelming emotionally for me.
BUT the c section sucks for the first couple days. My suggestion is to stay in the hospital as long as INS will allow. The beds in there are easier to get out of because you will not be able to sit up very easily. But.. like the day she was born I went into recovery for 2 hours before they got me up in my room. The catheter stayed in until Monday (csection was done on sunday) and Monday they took the catherter out and I was able to walk to the bathroom with lots of help and taking it VERRRRRY slow. Then Tuesday they took the epidural out which didnt hurt at all. I thought that was going to hurt but it didnt..
By Tuesday I was able to walk by myself.. slowly but by myself and I was able to take a shower.. Wednesday I was basically moving pretty normal and so forth.
I can move pretty good now. the staples feel weird. I refuse to look or touch them.. I get the staples taken out on wednesday. I have dissovable stitches on the inside too. I am still sore.. still hurts to get up and down sometimes.. and sit up in bed. But They gave me percocet to ease the pain :) Some of my friends have bad recovery.. mine isnt going too bad. TMI but I am hardly bleeding anymore either so that makes it nice. I bled BAD the first couple days.. but not much now. :) I am scared to get the staples out.. the thought disgusts me.. but I will let you know how that goes :)

Aw I am sorry you were not doing so well. Are you feeling any better? June will be here quick, then all the pregnancy issues will go away..I am hoping lol. I have never had the hemroids thing before, so I can't relate to your pain. Have you ever had any kind of a cracking feeling inside, probably close to the pubic bone? I am going to give my doc a call, it was almost the same feeling as when like my elbow cracked or whatever. It didn't hurt afterward and the baby is moving. Just a little weird I think. Well back to my not so exciting job. will talk to you again soon. Again I hope you are feeling better!
poprocksncoke - Friday, 2 May
I am sitting here with one hand typing because I am holding Madeline Elizabeth :)
I went into labor on 4/27 at 1am .... loooooong story but 12 hours later, she was born :) I am uploading her pictures and birth story. The birth story is long.. and Overwhelming.. well for me :) But we are HOME now... came home tonight.. well TECHNICALLY 5/1 since its 115a... gotta love the hours these babies run!!
How are you feeling?? When is your lil Madalynn coming to the world? :)
KariLynn - Monday, 28 April
Hey there :) Sorry it took me a couple days to get back to you. Busy busy busy. You are so lucky to have well behaved girls!! Hopefully your 3rd is the same :) It won't be long before June and the boys are here. I am starting to get tired of my belly lol. I got some much needed cleaning done this weekend, but did too much and am sore today...oops. Well back to work I go, I will talk to you soon!

Hello (wave)
Thanks for your sweet comment on my page! Though I am so sorry to hear of your deep loss with your Grandma's passing. How she would have loved to see another granddaughter born to you!! :)
Wouldn't memory quilts for all of your girls be precious?? Trust me, a simple patchwork is NOT hard!! Do you have a sewing machine? I have actually thought of doing memory quilts for others, but I work v e r y slowly... and being pregnant, I may even be slower!! HA!
I actually lived for quite awhile in MO/IL and know exactly where Wentzville is! How funny is that? I miss the midwest but I love CA too -- not far from the ocean!! (Of course a guy just died from a great white shark bite down south!! ONE reason I don't go into the water. LOL! The biggest reason though is it is always too COLD up here!!)
Nice talking with you.
God bless you and all your little girls!!!

Its gross.. lol mucus=snot so yea its pretty nasty lookin.
they are regular.. then they just STOP so its agravating haha
I was spotting earlier.. but now, again.. nothing. So I am still at square one.
poprocksncoke - Friday, 25 April
DAMMIT I deleted everything I wrote.. haha
Yea I have heard of some girls loosing their plug early. But most of the time.. its not a big deal. Yuo dont normally go right into labor afterwards. I have only lost 2 smaller peices of my plug :( Nothing major. I did have some spotting earlier when I went potty.. but I am waiting on it to become more "significant" I am REALLY hoping labor is coming.. but knowing my luck.. its not lol
