Finally, Birth Story...
I had our newest edition, Sadie Alisabeth, on October 13th. She shares her birthday with big sis Allyssa and they are exactly 4 years apart. I didn't plan it this way. At one in the morning I woke up to a very mild contraction. I couldn't believe it. I was not due until the 18th and what are the odds of having 2 children with the same birthday. The contractions were about 15 minutes apart until about 6 in the morning. They started to get stronger and longer, so off to the hospital we went. We were admitted around 7:30. I was already dialated past 5cm and the contractions were around 2 to 5 minutes apart. I caved and got the epidural. I couldn't believe how bad the pain was. I had an epi with my son, but not with our first daughter. It wasn't that bad and I was hoping to go natural again. Allyssa weighed 7lbs 9oz and the natural birth was a breeze. Sadie weighed exactly 10lbs and thank God for the Epidural. Her being 10lbs explains alot in the pain department. Anyway, I got the epidural and they sneaked in a relaxer, which made me very sick to my stomach. So I laid there, not feeling any contractions or anything until about 1:30 in the afternoon. I had the biggest urge to push. About 5 good pushes and Sadie was born, at 1:48. She was huge. I did not tear though. They swept her off to the nursery and my family followed, all but my mother-in-law. The doctor, a very little woman, was trying to get the placenta out and it would not budge. She had her arm in there all the way up to her shoulder, for over 45 min. She was getting ready to do a DNC when it finally decided to come out. It was huge too. I lost 16lbs on that day. We are all home now and doing fine. I am so glad that is over and I can enjoy my family again.
Just found out I am pregnant with our 3rd child. Too excited. My son and daughter's b-days are in October, and I am due, yet again, in October:) The above pics are my Husband, Son, and Daughter. My son, Preston, wants a little brother and my daughter, Allyssa, walks around holding her belly saying "baby in there." Our due date is somewhere between October 8 and October 15 of '07.
2-15-07 I went to my first Doctors visit today. They confirmed that I am pregnant (not that 9 positive home pregnacy test didn't give it away). They also drew a gallon of blood and did a full exam. This was my first visit with this Doctor. My other 2 pregnancies where with a doctor that has since relocated. I will go on March first for an ultrasound. I cannot wait. It will give me a more precise due date. I have a 35 day cycle, so we do not know when I ovulated, hence the due week of October 8 thru 15. So far, So Good :) 
March 2, 2007 I had my first Ultra Sound yesterday. Everything went great. We heard the Heart Beat and the measurements put me at 7 weeks pregnant. My new due date is October 18th. That is exactly 5 days after my daughters birthday (13th) and 5 days before my sons birthday (23). We have started to remodel our upstairs so that my son can move up there and free up a room for a nursery. He seems excited about it, but he is young. I think he may bunk in his sister's room or sneak on the couch at night. He is helping us decide on the colors for his new room and bathroom. He is hoping for a baby brother, so he is still holding out for bunk beds:)
The baby is in the little black sack up top. It is hard to see, but there are 2 white x's that mark the baby in the sack. "Itty bitty living space."
March 29, 2007 I had a doctor's appointment today. We heard the heart beat with a rate of 160bpm. I have gained a total of 5lbs and everything is looking good.
5-3-07 I had a doctor's appointment today. Nothing too interesting happened. We waited for almost an hour to hear the baby's heart beat and get my blood taken (again). We get our ultra sound on the 24th and then see the doctor again on the 31st. :) I have gained 8 lbs so far.
5-24-07 It's a Girl. Or so the ultrasound says. She was bouncing all over the place, so it was hard to get a really good shot of the gender, but the ultrasound tech said she had been looking thoughout the scan and is pretty sure it is a Girl. My son cannot say girl, so he has been telling everyone we are having a baby ghoul. Looks like all the predictions were right (except the Chinese chart).

Hey. I haven't been online in a while. I spent the 4th in the hospital. And as if that is not bad enough, we were out of town on vacation. I started bleeding really bad and was contracting something horrible. Turns out I have a terrible bladder infection and the bladder spasms could have sent me into preterm labor, Yikes. All the blood was coming from my bladder. They tested my panties for amniotic fluid and it came back positive. I was freaking out. We got to spend the whole day admitted in a strange hospital. I was the only person on the labor/delivery floor. My husband was not taking it all too well, especially when they wheeled in a baby incubator and delivery stuff. They were able to stop most of my bleeding and pumped me full of antibiotics and pain killers for the rest of the day. The amniotic fluid turned out to be false positive, it was picking up the blood in my panties from the urine (no bladder control what so ever). They wanted to keep me over night. It was our last day on vacation, and every hotel/resort was totally booked up. The hospital really did not have room for both my kids and my husband to sleep there. So they said I could leave if the bleeding slowed and the baby was not in any stress. She was hooked up to a monitor all day and we got another ultrasound to be sure my placenta was still in place and my amniotic fluid was holding. The only good part of the day was seeing her face up close and watching her blink. She looks just like our older daughter and weighs 2 1/2 lbs already. I gained 12 lbs in two days, due to all the swelling, and am now starting to feel alot better. I am home now and the bleeding has stopped. The infection is still there, but it is so much better (thanks to the antibiotics). I do not feel like I am peeing lava anymore and my doctor checked me out today and all is well again. I had never had a bladder infection before and was stunned to learn that's what was wrong. I have been drinking a gallon of water every 2 days, but it was not enough to keep my bladder flushed. Hope everyones 4th was better than mine.

I had a doctor's appointment today. He checked my cervix and said the outside is open (100% effaced) and the inside is still closed. I can start to dialate at any time now. The babies head is down, so that explains all the pressure I have been feeling. I go on the 31st for a leg ultra sound, because of swelling. I am sure its nothing, but he thinks it could be clots. I think he is just trying to cover all the bases, I mean, what pregnant women doesn't have some swelling.
September 28, 2007
I had a doctor's appointement today and am dialated to 3cm. He stripped my membranes and now we will just wait and see. I had never had that done before and it really didn't hurt. I had a few contractions throughout the day, but nothing promising. I go back to the doctor next Friday.
October 5, 2007
Back to the doctor today. I am now dialated to 4cm and he stripped my membranes, yet again (really kinda hurt this time). I thought I would be in active labor when at 4cm, but I am lacking in the contractions department. He said I am a ticking timebomb and he doesn't expect me to make it to my next appointment (which is next Friday). We will see.
October 8, 2007
Still no labor. I am beginning to think that stripping the membranes does nothing more than give a very pregnant woman false hope. I have tried everything to bring on the contractions. Nothing is working. The doctor suggested sex, nipple stimulation and of course, the membranes being stripped. None of which have done a thing. I have read about spicey food, Raspberry Leaf tea and countless other things to eat to bring on labor and none of those do anything either. I have had one person tell me to suck on my thumb and another to just envision labor will begin. The only thing I have not tried is Castor Oil, which I would never take. So this is where I am. I am dialated to 4cm, 100 % effaced, the baby is head down and I am sucking on my thumb and envisioning labor. Pathetic.
October 12, 2007
Had another Doctor's appointment today. I am dialated to 4.5cm and he stripped my membranes for a 3rd time. I am suddenly very sick feeling and anxious. I took a Phenergan and am hoping it will make me feel better. My next appointment is next Thursday, but I am hoping Sadie will be here by then.

Thanks for your msg. Thankfully it was a yeast infection because after using the cream it went away. PUPPS does not sound fun at all, even more so because not much can be done about it. So how are you feeling? Me..same ole' complants. Mostly leg cramps and NO sleep. I see your having all October babies too. My son's birthday is October 26 and my daughter is due October 11. Hopefully I have her October 1 because I don't think I can wait any longer than that...lol :)

Hey there. I know we are sooo close. You are gonna meet yours very soon. I have been keeping my sugars under control with the insulin and diet. the baby weighed 5lbs last wed. I have one more ultra sound on the 26th. Hope the baby stays under 9lbs. I feel great except I'm like a round stuff sausage. My feet and legs started swelling this past two weeks too. Mine is from being on my feet to much. We were short handed at work and I paid for it.I'm trying to get back to resting frequently and get the swelling down again. I have lots to do still and don't want to be bed ridden.Hope your feeling great and have an easy labor.

Hi Angela, Wow - am loving your VIP page, esp the songs on there. I've just listened to 'Like the rain' and it's struck a chord with me for something and brought a tear to my eye!! Anyhow, re being sore 'down there' i feel exactly the same as you with the pain when taking 1st few steps, esp when i wake up in the night to go to the loo or like you say, when i've just got up. How weird is it? I haven't a clue of what it is and the midwife was like 'well you haven't got an infection so it's just part of preparing for motherhood'! I was like oh thanks, here's hoping my insides don't fall out then lol!! Hope you're keeping well, the photo's of your children are sooo v sweet too! Take care!

HI! Congratulations on your girl! I love the name Sadie. It's almost like my oldest's nickname Saigie AKA Saige!! Thanks for your poll vote, but racked my brain on what your abbreviation meant=) when you said it was more commom w/boys. Well Good luck w/ the rest of your pregnancy and God bless
mummy2be - Friday, 31 Aug
Hi Angela - Thank you so much for your support! Yesterday was a really emotional day for me, I spent the whole day crying my heart out, and my poor hubby was out of things to say and do to make me feel better. I ended up at my mums house crying to her and telling her how disgusting I feel, she would just smile and tell me that when the baby comes I wont care anymore, and its a sacrafice we all have to take. You have honestly made me feel so much better. Thank you so much! Your children are so beautiful! I wish you the best in your pregnancy mwa mwa mwa

They want to do a c-section because of the way my uterus is cut from my second son and they dont want to risk me going into labor because the contractions can make my uterus rupture and that whouldn't be good.I am very nervous about it but I am happy that this one made it this far and hopefuly further.Take care of your self.
April K. - Wednesday, 29 Aug

wisfarmgirl - Sunday, 26 Aug
I love the name Sadie! Great choice. :)
wisfarmgirl - Saturday, 25 Aug
Angela, thank you so much for commenting on the swelling. I just really needed to know that it would end at some point! :) Have you picked a name for the baby yet?
DianaC86 - Thursday, 9 Aug
when I read your comment about your baby seems to resemble an Octopus.. it cracked me up.(I literally laughed out loud) Just the other day I was saying the same thing to my boyfriend, and just to hear someone else say that is just hillarious to me . : )
angeljmcw - Tuesday, 17 Jul
Hey Angela. The kids are adorable;) Yeah I think that when you've already had a child and it was a quick labor you tend to panic more and it really isn't that far away... I'm due Nov. 25th and when I think about how fast the past 5 months have gone, I do start to panic;) I told my husband that as soon as I start to feel like I'm having contractions, we are gone. Especially since I will have to drop the boys off at someone's house on the way... exciting yet scary;) Best of luck!
chilipop - Monday, 16 Jul
Hey Angela. So sorry to hear about your hard time, How scarey. I am so glad you are doing better and everything is ok. I never had one either but my mom and sis are prone to them. But they are coke addicts lol..as in the beverage. I am like you and drink tons of water so now I am wondering if I might be getting one. Was gonna run it by my doc next week. Just seems I get heavy and feel like I am gonna pop then hardly pee or don't even feel like going but I do. Just not sure if it is just the baby laying on my bladder causing it all. I'm definately checking in to it. I hope your staying cool in this heat. We have had rain every afternoon so it has helped tremendously. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.

That bladder infection sounds like it was really bad and painful. Before I got pregnant I'd get bladder infections all the time that would turn into kidney infections so I can imagine how it is with being pregnant on top of it. They are probably making you drink more water now huh? I drink 5 liters of water everyday because I know I'm prone to infections. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I've always been big into pilates but haven't found any energy to do it until fairly recently and even now some days I have to force myself. Its really hard with a growing belly. I wouldn't worry too much if you're too tired to excercise its never good to push yourself too hard! Plus you have two kids already! I can imagine how tired you must be!
Ash C - Monday, 16 Jul
Just thought I'd drop by and see how you were feeling lately! My belly is definitely starting to 'pop' and my pregnancy pilates is becoming a bit more difficult! Haha. How are you doing?
Rebecca24 - Thursday, 12 Jul
God very hot there then!!! It's around 17 degrees C here ! and it won't stop raining i'v never know the weather to be so bad in July, mind you I am in Britain and where we live always seems to have it's own weather, I can be at my house where it's hot and sunny and the drive 20 miles away and it's tarential rain and wind it's really wierd, what are your son's and daughters birthdates in Oct? your going to have 3 birthdays in oct now :-) I'm really fed up of being pregnant already getting back aches and getting tired all the time now not to mention having about 50 wees day and night I hope it goes quick and i hope you won't be too uncomfortable to enjoy your childrens birthdays! you never know might come a bit early!
Rebecca24 - Tuesday, 10 Jul
I'm glad your daughter is ok, poor thing with her tooth and tong! Some children are slower at speaking than others she she will soon catch up, my son didn't walk until he was about 2 and everyone kept sayiong oooh he should be walking but he just took longer and when he's older no one will ever know they all end up the same in the end. I'm ok though thanks feeling haevier and slower! the baby is so low feel like it's pushing down all the time wich i new if it was a boy or a girl! just don't know how to tell :-) can't wait for it to be here now feel like it's never going to come but when i think an=bout it I suppose it has gone quite quick up until now, how about you how are you except for the infection? is it hot in America now? our wether in Britain is a joke it's usually really hot now and we have had non stop rain all month! even though i did hipe for a cooler summer being pregnant but I didn't want a wet one! anyway it's my little boy's 4th Birthday today so going to go and play with his new toys :0) take care x
