Comments Welcome!!!!

Good Luck to all those Trying To Conceive!!!

~And~

Congratulations to all the Mommys who are expecting or have given birth!!!

~Here's a little background info~

My name is Laura and my Husband's name is Dean! We found out we were expecting February 22nd. Our sweet baby Gage came 7 weeks early on September 14th 2007! The birth story is posted in my children section. It's been an amazing adventure!!!

(You can also check out my pregnancy entries in the blog section)

Gage Michael Is Here!!!!

~Gage's 1 year Dr. Appointment~

I took Gage to his 1 year appointment and he is 31 inches long and 21.3 pounds. He is in the 90th percentile for length and 25th percentile for weight. The Dr. was very pleased with his size. He is now off formula and onto whole milk. He literally went from being a baby to a toddler in an hour. Makes me kind of sad!!! Our little bambino is getting to be a BIG BOY!!!

MaciesMom - Tuesday, 20 May
Hey Laura!!

Sorry for not responding yesterday, once again I was getting my butt handed to me at work, BLAH! Thank goodness TODAY IS MY LAST DAY :) I'm SOOOOO excited, tomorrow morning at this time we will be headed to the airport to get on our 10:30am flight, WHOOP!

How are you today? How is Mr Gage? I'm SO glad you liked the Aveeno, isn't it the greatest? I couldn't live without that stuff, it's perfect for Addaline's skin. Did you try it on his face to make sure it didn't break him out? Glad you got a floatie as well, where'd you end up finding it at? What does it look like? Poor guy with the allergies, my 6 1/2 month old niece has allergies, they put her on singulair last week... poor babies!

Softball went really well, I hit the ball everytime... usually just a base hit and ended up getting out or getting someone else out, UGH! I needed to warm up though so I'll cut myself some slack. At least I hit the ball every time at bat. I did make and awesome catch too which made me happy. I played left center and got quite a bit of balls hit to me, my hubby was proud :) HA!

Yeah isn't it fun to have a little gal that age that blabs non-stop, HA! That's exactly how Macie is, sometimes I'm like, "Let's play the quiet game" I know that's so mean but sometimes I just need to collect my thoughts!

Our weekend was really good, did TONS of laundry and packed mine and the girls' things so that was good. How was your weekend other than your eventful day Saturday?

Hope your Tuesday is off to a good start! Only a few more days for you! 4 right?

Hi, there:

You are right...What is the ideal age? Anyway, I am still happy overall.

Yes, as soon as I am able, I will do a gender check to see who's in there. I am thinking about a picture package,too!
But will wait until the husband is here, so we can do this together.

I am looking forward to the class and I really liked my midwife...real concerned with gaging eyes...it was in her hands...the act of delivering babies...I can't explain it...but a lot of wisdom and experience was behind those glasses. She read every detail in my file...even asking what my degree was in and asking about my husband and I...our love for one another...etc...she said she use to do a lot of bedside chats, but when the baby demand became so heavy, she wasn't able to as much...she smiled a lot...asked a lot of questions...I must have spent over an hour with her.

Yes, I look forward to a long, long season of happiness.

Smiles,

Debora :-)

oh.. i saw that you had posted on one of the forums about needing a float for gage.. did you find one??

-if you didn't i got one for sydney from walmart. they had two kinds one was a turtle and the other was a crab. is made for babies under a yr old. it has a sun shade cover and a little area you can fill up with water. it was the only kind i could find for babies. we haven't tried it yet, but it looks pretty cool.

-try looking down the isle that has the pool chemicals and pool cleaning supplies. it wasn't in the isle with all of the other floats. ok well i have been blowing up ur page today with messages. well have a great day and if i don't talk to you again soon.. have a blast on ur vacation. !!

Hi, there:

The first prenatal appointment went well. I have been poked, upon poked and prodded...refreshing...to say the least...pun intended.

Did the usual...blood work, paperwork, questions upon questions and then a serious talk with the midwife.

They don't waste anytime reminding you of your advanced maternal age, do they? It's like a curse or something to rear children older.

Anyway, I refused all tests except the routine ultra sounds despite the statistics she shared with me and how the other genetic testing services are supposed to inform me of what's what. I will keep and love my child no matter what.

Also, my size is fine for the date. She said I am right on point, so....the child is not larger like I suspected. I have gained about 4 more pounds....give or take. I guess I will just be fat this go round, so, it's not " baby fat" just a "big momma"...smiles...

After I told her about the movements, she was going to do an ultrasound, but when the sizing was in line with the dates, she said it wasn't necessary...bummer...I wanted to see my little love!

Anyway, go back in about 5 weeks or so.

She used three different dopplers and could not find a heartbeat...which she said was perfectly normal for the age of the child.

So, she recommended me to a baby class which starts June 13th...so I guess I will start touring hospitals and planning the nursery.

All looked fine....

Smiles,

Debora :-)

MaciesMom - Friday, 16 May
Hey!

That's CRAZY that he slept until the same time. Addaline went to bed a little later than normal, around 9pm instead of 8:15-8:30pm so I was really hoping she would sleep a little later. She took a nap while I was holding her the whole time I watched Grey's Anatomy so I was happy I got to watch it in peace :) I'm terrible! Sounds like he has a good schedule at daycare then. I would totally of had the same talk with my sitter if I were you, it is TERRIBLE for kids to have their days and nights mixed up. I cannot even imagine what you went through those few months, yikes!! Thank goodness those days are over.

Yeah I put the lotion on her face and she does just fine, and her skin is SO sensitive so I would guess that Gage would be ok too! Let me know if you get it and try it out. I hope I don't recommend it to you and then it breaks him out, I would feel TERRIBLE! Dido on the meeting each other thing, your the greatest :)

Yeah whatever you have in your diaper bag, carry on for formula or water you have to declare it. I'm not sure that they will let her take the water but I seriously hope so, otherwise they'll have to provide it for her if my niece needs a bottle! I'll let you know how it went when we get back so you can give your friend the heads up.

Yeah I am super fortunate to be able to bf exclusively, I'm so thankful! I didn't even know how much formula was, I don't ever pay attention, until a friend of ours told us how much it is and how much they have to buy for their 4 month old.. YIKES! I can't believe they have to put it behind the counter, that's craziness!!!

MaciesMom - Friday, 16 May
Hey!

Yeah if I lived closer to my work I would totally go home as well. It's nice to just go kick back and relax for a little while there is no one there. I don't ever get any just "me" time!

Yeah I love the Aveeno stuff, it works great. The one with the purple lid smells SOOOO good too. I put that lotion on her face and she does just fine. Poor Gage :( Sounds like they are SO similar with their skin and sleeping issues. I forgot to report that Addaline slept until 5:30am this morning WHOOP!! How is Gage doing with the sleeping? Does he take good naps at daycare?

I don't need to take any liquids on the plane since I breast-feed so I don't have to worry about the whole bottle thing. My sister in law does though, I think you can only have a certain amount and you have to make sure and claim it I guess. Glad I don't have to mess with all that. Be glad your driving!

I will try my hardest tonight to show those boys up, especially my competitive HUBBY!!

MaciesMom - Friday, 16 May
Hey!

I know it, I keep trying to remind myself of that but then I keep thinking of how much my daughters poops out of her diaper EVERY day so I packed 2 outfits for every day at least, whoops :)

Yeah Addaline has eczema, her's is by her armpits and in the crease behind her knee, sometimes she gets little dry spots on her belly. I can only use Aveeno lotion and baby wash for her or she'll react to it. Poor child and her sensitive skin!

I know, isn't it funny how your life changes when you have a little one. I didn't ever really do the whole partying thing since we had Macie when I was 19. I would MUCH rather stay home and get things done around the house so I know what you mean. Hey it's exciting for us :)

I hope I do great. I'm not sure what position I'll play, I played 3rd base all the years I played softball but that position sees lots of action and I'm a little rusty so I don't want to play there. Gerrad wants me to play at 2nd so we'll see?? His friend emailed me this morning and asked where I wanted to play so I said 2nd, we'll see if I get my way or not.

That's awesome that Dean has taken off the past couple nights to be home with you and Gage, it's always nice to have that time in the evening together I'm sure! Did you tan on your lunch? I did on mine, got smoking HOT again, UGH! Hopefully I didn't burn!

Hope your FRIDAY is going well chica!

daisybaby - Friday, 16 May
I hope there is nothing seriously wrong with this baby! She is SO tempermental right now. She's always been so good natured and easy. Everything makes her mad and she cries like crazy when I put her down at night. This has just been going on for the past couple of days, her fever is gone! I have narrowed it down to about 10 things... :) She is really annoyed with her stuffy nose, she can't take a bottle or a binky. She just wants finger food and juice, uh oh! She pulls at her ears but I know they are clear so I really think it's her teeth. Her two top teeth have cut but they must still really be bothering her, I guess! Aaah, I wish I knew. Last night was pretty hard and I try not to pump her full of ibuprofen but it's the only thing that helps!

Yes! A luau! I wanted to have a luau theme at my neices 1st birthday but her parents didn't seem interested in helping me out so I bagged it. Steve and his brother are like 1/4 pacific islander so I thought a luau would be lotsa fun! Yay! I'm gonna do it! Thanks for great idea!

My weekend will be a drag... ahh... Steve has to work a half day on Saturday and I'm going to watch his friends 8 yr old (they work together.) Then on Sunday Steve HAS to golf with his boss, I'm so sure! :P It's tough being home all day long, all week long, then getting ditched on the weekend, I try to be a good sport but this baby is wearing me out since she is so cranky right now! Whew! Steve has been really good about not golfing on the weekend. I love to golf too and I never get to because he's my only golfing partner! He has buddies that he golfs with. Whem my Mom was here I golfed a par 3 course on Mother's Day, that was great! First time I've golfed since I was 5 months preggers. It's going to be GORGEOUS this weekend too and I'm stuck at home with baby alone... "waaaaaaaaa" for me! I guess I'll have to go do some "shopping therapy" or maybe I'll try out this salon that has daycare and get a pedicure, so TAKE THAT that Steve!

Have a great weekend!

MaciesMom - Friday, 16 May
HAPPY FRIDAY!!

Only 5 days until my vacation and 8 for you right? I'm SOOOOO ready! I got MOST of the girls' clothes folded and ready to pack last night. I think I did fairly well with keeping it to a minimum but we'll see when I actually put them IN the suitcase! I also tried the sunscreen on Addaline and her skin did fine, she didn't break out or anything. It says on the label it's hypoallergenic so that's awesome!! Hope Gage's skin does well with it too!

Addaline never spits up and she spit up on me this morning as I was handing her over to my Aunt so that's all I can smell this morning, YUCK-O!! So I know what you guys are up to tomorrow, anything exciting planned for Sunday on Dean's day off?? This weekend is supposed to be in the 80's so I'm SOOOO excited about that. It's about time we get some nice weather here! I'm sure you'll have a great day on Saturday with the extra kiddo, you can just imagine what it will be like in a few years if you guys have another one :)

I'm SO nervous for our game tonight, I'm not quite sure why?? Guess I just hope I play decent seeing as how I haven't played in AGES! You doing anything tonight?

Hope your Friday is off to a GREAT start :)
xoxo

Oh... NO, my hubby is not back from China. In fact, they extended his trip LONGER!!!!! UGH! I feel like the little engine that could. HA! "I Think I Can... I Think I Can.... I Think I Can"... make it till he gets back WITHOUT PULLING MY HAIR OUT! LOL!

daisybaby - Thursday, 15 May
So the Dr. called, nothing turned up in her blood or pee. It must be a virus. She seems better. We walked down to the park and met some friends and she seemed pretty good. Right now she is PASSED OUT in her stroller in her room.

Vegas would be a lot of fun but Steve doesn't seem convinced. I think he's afraid his family wouldn't be able to go. I told him if it's not Vegas it would be my home town because I have TONS of family and he has no family, he only has his "mama" stepdad and brother. Both his parents are only children so he doesn't even have any cousins. So it just doesn't make sense to have my one million family members travel up here so his 3 family members don't have to travel...

I am not sure what I'd like to do for Sophie's birthday. My family will come to town but I need to find a place to hold her party, my house just isn't big enough! What about you? Got any fabulous ideas!?

Have a great day!

ZMiracleBoy - Thursday, 15 May
YESSSSSS you are worrying to much! He'll do it when he's ready mama! Does he like to sit in the sitting position when you prop him? Zayden sits by himself on the floor but when I put him in a high chair he does the same thing Gage does.... he goes limp. It's weird. I still feed him sitting in his Bumbo because of it.

I seriously thought you were pregnant. I saw "pregnancy entries" and it says "Mood while writing blog" and YOU said, "pregnant and happy". :)) That is to funny!

When is your appointment?

Just keep putting Gage in the sitting position and he will do it.. I PROMISE! Look around you... do you see ANY adult preemie's not sitting? HA! That's how I look at it.

I had ANOTHER interesting conversation with some idiot the other day! Shhhhheeeeesssshhhhhh! I took Zayden to a storytime at my daughters school. There was a lady that had a little girl there that turned a year a couple of weeks ago too. She was listening in on my conversation with someone else and overheard that he was going to be a year next month. Anyway, after storytime she came over and said, "Excuse me, do you have physical therapist for your son so that they can start testing your son to see why he is so far behind? My daughter is walking and she is the same age". I COULD NOT believe my ears!

You would have been so proud of me because I was actually NICE to her! hehe...

Still think it's rude!

I told you before QUIT looking at those milestone charts. What am I gonna do with you? LOL! Guess I'll have to buy a plane ticket and come get you back in line!

Hug Gage for moi!

ZMiracleBoy - Thursday, 15 May
I saw your blog and thought you were pregnant again!!!! I need some sleep! :))

Blessed2BPrego - Thursday, 15 May
Men who can understand them?

Blessed2BPrego - Thursday, 15 May
Yes, when I get there; with my family and my sister's we would much rather be in one vehicle than in two. :)
Oh and a few months ago we turned in my Nissan XTERRA to a QUEST. Hubby wasn't crazy about the idea of going with a minivan but now I constantly get stuck with his car while he drives my minivan or as he puts it the "family car".

MaciesMom - Thursday, 15 May
Hey chick!!

Oh no your fine, I woke up this morning with it feeling like Wednesday all over again so I totally understand. Only 1 more day until the weekend, WHOOP!

Well I do have Addaline on a pretty strict schedule and that doesn't help, I don't think the schedule makes a difference for them sleeping all night or not sleeping all night. She eats at the same time every night and goes to bed the same time every week so I'd say that's a good schedule... she just doesn't prefer to sleep all night unfortunately. Macie was sleeping through the night at 2 months, I was SPOILED with her. She was such an easy baby, Addaline requires a lot more attention :)

One day Gage will just decide he is ready to sit up, as long as you are working with him and sitting him on the floor and stuff he'll get the hang of it in no time. Does your daycare provider do the same? That will help as well.

Yep we're starting the softball season tomorrow, look out world it's gonna get ugly HA HA! I played from when I was 4 until I was 12 but I haven't played in quite a while so it should be pretty entertaining. I hope they don't put me in some ridiculous "girl" position thinking I can't play, Gerrad better stick up for me to the guys otherwise it's ON!

You gonna look for the sunscreen on Saturday as well? How old is the little girl that your watching? Then you'll get a taste of what it's like to have 2 kiddos for a little while :o) How's your day going? Did you guys have your conference call to figure out what everyone is bringing already? I couldn't remember when you said you guys were going to do that. I'm going to run to Target today and get a sling backpack to use as the diaper bag since it will be MUCH more convenient in Florida instead of the cutesy "Bag Daddy" one I have now.

Hope your day is going FAST!

Blessed2BPrego - Thursday, 15 May
Yup not bad at all. I was just looking online for a car rental; well let me re-phrase that it would be a "mini-van" rental! :)

Blessed2BPrego - Thursday, 15 May
The flight is not long at all, about 3 1/2 hours.

MaciesMom - Thursday, 15 May
Good Morning Laura!!

How are you this morning? I'm good, tired but good. Addaline has woken up at 3:30am for the past 4-5 nights... I can't figure out why she won't sleep through the night anymore when she did SO good when I started the food before bed. I don't mind getting up with her, I just wish she would sleep through the night.

We're actually down to the 6 day mark, it is a week from yesterday.. we leave next WEDNESDAY... WHOOOO HOOO!!! Are you guys getting all pumped to leave? Is Dean excited? Is he bummed you guys have to close the rest. for a few days or is he ok with it?

The girls are good. Macie had a game Tuesday night and last night but the game last night got cancelled because they didn't have any umpires. They high school girls were playing and I guess the umpires are mostly high school softball players so we were S.O.L. The weather is ok here, it's been about 68 or so the past 2 days. This weekend it's supposed to be in the 80's so I'm VERY excited about that.

How is Mr Gage? Is he sitting up any better for ya? He'll get there :) I've been trying to see if Addaline is interested in crawling but she has NO interest AT ALL!! She hates tummy time so I don't foresee it being any time soon, as soon as she gets on her belly she gets pissed! Stubborn girl!! Wonder where she gets it?! HA HA!

I did go tanning yesterday, my calves got a little red yesterday so I'm going to skip tanning today and go tomorrow, one day this weekend and then Monday and Tuesday next week. Are you going to just buy a few tans since your almost out? We start co-rec softball tomorrow night, YIKES! That should be seriously interesting... AHHHH!!!

Ok I'm done babbling. Did you make it to Dollar General to check out the floatie last night? Hope your Thursday is going well so far :)
~Molly

Blessed2BPrego - Thursday, 15 May
Oh, how exciting for you and your family. You are going to love seeing Gage there and taking all sorts of pictures; what great memories.
My mom lives in Puerto Rico in the south of the island. It will be exciting to go; I am hoping the flight will not be so bad for Damiani; my oldest will be leaving ahead of us with my sister and her kids and my hubby leaves after Damiani and me; so it will just be us two on the flight. But I made the same trip by myself when Armani was 11 months and he did well.
