I just got out of the shower (showers make you feel human again!) and caught this =]

Her daddy said I'm the only one that can make her smile right now.. Look how good of a job I do =]

- Update on Alyvia -
6.5.08

Alyvia is doing absolutely amazing!! She's 8 days old today, and had her first newborn check up this morning. She really didn't like it! Especially when her daddy had to undress her so they could look her over. Surpisingly enough, she didn't scream when they did the rectal temp check! I wanted to cry when they did though.. I was sitting next to the exam table, Kamil was standing over her, as was the nurse, and as he undid her diaper for the nurse, she looked right at me with wide eyes that said "Mommy, what are they doing to me??" AHHHH!!! I just grabbed her hand and rubbed it with my thumb, and whispered to her that she'd be ok. I'm such a sap when it comes to her! She now weighs 8 lbs 13 oz.. That's a whole pound more than when she was born! She came home weighing 7.4, so she's gained a total of 1.9 lbs since coming home.. She's such a chubby bunny! I'm still so amazed that she's actually mine.. I can't believe it! I stare at her all the time, and I always get tears in my eyes.. Like - Did I really help create that? Was she really in my belly? Life is such a miracle! I knew this before, but having a child of your own, you really realize what your body can do, and what a miracle and a blessing life really is. Mommyhood is absolutely amazing, and I would go through labor again in a heartbeat, just for her :)

She loves her some daddy :)

2 weeks old today!

********************************************
June 18th, 2008

Kamil's First Father's Day was great :) Alyvia got her daddy a first father's day card with a baby cookie monster on it, and she even signed it herself! I put her on the floor with a pen in her hand, and the card under her hand. She was wiggling around and signed it just for her daddy =D He loved it!

The past few days she's been eating like crazy - I think she may be going through a growth spurt. Either that, or she's getting sick :( She's been spitting up quite a bit, and I don't know what to do! She's had normal spit up, but then there's been a few times where it looks as if she's thrown up everything she just ate. Like today.. I was sitting in my car burping her, and out flowed just about everything she ate. Like if you were to turn on a waterhose.. shot out just like the water would. I feel so bad... She also has times where she cries and cries, and fusses and whines, and I can't get her to stop.. I've probably walked a few miles around my house with her, talking to her, singing to her, kissing her chubby little face, rocking her, trying to get her to stop. She eventually does, but I feel bad that I don't know what's wrong with her, and I can't get her to be happy :(

On a lighter note.. she just turned 3 weeks 18 mins ago! (1:16am on Wednesday morning) They grow up too fast! She's already starting to hold her head up on her own.. If she's on my chest, she'll push herself up and her head will bobble around. Her muscles aren't the strongest yet, but they're getting there!

And she's starting to sleep a little more at night. I'm co-sleeping with her(don't give me your opinion on this, please. It works for me. And studies have been done and they show that co-sleeping actually reduces the risk of SIDs anyway. So thanks for your advice, but no thanks!) and once I lay down with her, I think she kind of realizes that now is the time to go nini. We usually go to bed around 2am, cuz I can't get her to sleep very long if I try to go to bed before then, and she'll wake up close to 5am, and then around 8am, but then once we fall back asleep after that, we sleep until 11am or noon! And yes, I sleep that long too. I can't get up early anymore. My body is too rundown and sleep deprived! I'd like for one day to get completely caught up on my sleep.. but as everyone keeps telling me.. now that I've had a kid, I'll never sleep again!! Ahh well. I love being a mother, and if giving up some sleep is what needs to happen, I'll do it w/o looking back! My daughter is completely worth it =D

UPDATE!

I had to take Alyvia to the doctor this morning. She threw up twice in about an hour, and kept spitting up, and wasn't able to keep any breastmilk down it seemed. Her appointment was 9am this morning, so I've pretty much been up with her since 6am (went to bed around 2am.. I'm running on about 3 hours of sleep!) Apparently she has acid reflux :( Poor baby! They told me to take her off my boob before she's done to burp her, and then put her back on to finish, and then keep her upright for about 30 mins to make sure the breastmilk stays down. I've tried twice to take her off to burp her, and each time, she's always fallen asleep, and I can't get her back on! So she's been nursing quite a bit since we've gotten home. AND! You wouldn't believe how much she weighs right now... 9lbs 14 oz! See, I told you you wouldn't believe it! I HAVE TURBO-CHARGED BREAST MILK! WOOOO!

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

My baby girl is 3 weeks old!!
She loves her daddy.. She's such a daddy's girl!

She's had a blocked tear duct, and I had just wiped her eye, that's why it's red in the 2nd picture!

Her first "real" smile!! (meaning not one caused by a toot!)

SO ... How are you? This Thursday is my due date so I'm feeling a little anxious. =) But I'm prepared in case he's not ready until week 42! Exactly - it's trial and error and it's what you want for your child. It's important that you know early on what values you'd like to instill in your child - which can really make a difference in how you raise them. My parents were about control and intimidation growing up and nothing we did ever pleased them. And if we didn't listen, we got the stick (metal pole, belt or whatever was within reach for them). It was important to them that their kids knew and respected whoever was highest on the totem pole. To me it's more important that I guide him and that he's independent, confident and happy. Of course, I want him to respect me but not scared of me. You sound like you're going to be such a good mom! You sound so level-headed! I can't wait until we can both talk about our experiences with our actual babies! I'm sure your daughter is going to be gorgeous!!

i read your post on the main page...thats so crazy- my hubby works 10pm-7am too....i get soo worried that im going to go into labor at night (that seems like the time it always happens) and i'm going to have to call him to come get me- he works 30 minutes away, and i know he would be a mess trying to drive home!!

mommytobe007 - Monday, 19 May

All those words, you took them right out of my mouth!
I'm kind of feeling like I had an epiphany! I was talking to Jason in the car on our way home from taking his brother out to lunch earlier. And I just started rambling about all the things I want to change about myself. I'm starting to look at things more positively. I'm constantly telling Jason about how lonely I am, and how I spend most of my days by myself (Well, not entirely alone, but Adelyn doesn't really pay much attention to me since she has so many toys haha) But I am a "housewife" and a stay at home mom. I need to completely commit myself to that, and quit worrying about my lack of friends, because I have him, the worlds greatest best friend (Jennie), an amazing daughter, and a baby boy on the way. I have a lot to be very proud of. I am only 19, and I have a lot of years to work my way up to financial comfort and extra privledges that we can't afford right now. But eventually me and Jason are going to be able to not stress about where rent is coming from next month. I'm just working myself down so that I enjoy right now instead constantly wanting to move 5 years into the future. I don't know if I'm making sense, but I'm really excited to have come to all these new findings about myself, haha!
It's crazy because the second I took a step back and took a good look at how uptight and unreasonable I have become, I instantly found solutions that will help. I have just set up this image in my head of where I want to be in my life, and I instantly thought that that is where I should be right now, and I had to step back and realize that that was my goal and we have work to get there.
That's my epiphany... weird realization... I don't know why all of a sudden I'm starting to take so much more time to think...

motheroftwo - Sunday, 18 May
Books don't bother me! It's amazing to have someone to talk to that knows what I'm going through. I don't even know you, but you're helping me stay sane! Thanks!
I think moms just think that no one can take care of their sons like they can. It's irritating, and I hope that I never make my sons wife or fiance or girlfriend feel the way that our guys' moms have made us feel. I can't imagine that they do it on purpose, but jeez, they have to understand that yes, we are young, but we're growing up faster than most people our age, and we're learning more about our relationships everyday. Jason's mom likes to use the fact that Jason and I agrue a lot against me, because god knows her son doesn't do ANYTHING wrong. We don't argue about anything big very often, we just bicker back and forth quite a bit. But we're learning better ways to handle it, we're growing up and learning more together. It would be so much easier to do without his mother poking her nose in all the time.
When my mom was around, I could talk to her about problems that me and Jason were having without her judging him for it, and that made things so much easier, but if I try to talk to Jasons mom, she always comes back with a stupid comment like "you guys are so childish" or "that's such a stupid thing to argue about" and it just makes me mad. UGH!
Damn boy parents.

In love is the best feeling isn't it? :o)
Nothing worked for me with my daughter! It was so annoying! I went bowling 3 times a week at least, I was practically a rabbit (haha), went for walks ALL the time, took bumpy rides on a golf cart... NOTHING WORKED!

Physically I'm feeling great. Emotionally, I'm kinda rocky. I've just been really sad a lot lately. Just the smallest things. I've been feeling like Jason's family is looking down on us lately. I don't know why. I guess we're the youngest in the family and the worst with our finances. His older sister and older brother have great jobs and have tons of money, and Jason has a great job, but since they just started their business it hasn't fully taken off yet, so we're not rollin in the dough yet. I just feel like they think we're in over heads and like they dont think we'll succeed.
It's weird. I just want to feel confident that we can do it, but it's hard when everyone else looks at you waiting for you to fail. His mom is constantly going out and buying things for Adelyn, and it's not that I don't appreciate it, but I know that she's only doing because she doesn't think me and Jason can. That is far from the truth. It's so irritating.

Oh I so excited for you. Your little girl is going to be here soon. I doubt I will talk to you before you have her, so I would like to to tell you now......good luck with everything. I know you will do great.

caseylynn2 - Sunday, 18 May
Aw, thank you! You are so sweet. I will have my laptop with me at the hospital but you never know if I will be able to use it or not....
I am so excited! Hope you have more progress with going into labor soon! I cant wait to update you on Delaney :) talk to you soon,
Casey

Hey there! Greetings from the hospital! I had my baby boy yesterday at 3:06 a.m. Michael Thomas. I started having contractions and my water broke at midnight. He's 6lbs, 13 oz and 20 inches long. I love him so much. I'm thinking of you! You're next!

mommytobe007 - Saturday, 17 May
Yah thanks lol. I know its nothing to worry about but i was defently worried at first lol. Just cause it didnt sound right. Yesterday night the baby kicked me sooo hard to the point u can actually see it kick lol. It was soo cool. I was waiting soo long for that :). and when my sister and mom felt it they jumped hhahah! I thought it was so funny, there like, " OMG OMG OMG!" it was cute tho :). I can feel the baby gowing and it hurts sooo bad :S. But im starting to get used to the pain.
I signed up for prenatal classes, it starts on June 23. Im realll excited. I dont know about my Bf tho lol. Im sure he will be fine once he is there.

motheroftwo - Saturday, 17 May
I know where you're coming from. I couldn't stay with Jason if I didn't love him. I don't think it would be fair to my kids. I want my kids growing up seeing how in love me and Jason are, so that they wont settle for anything less. I want to raise my kids in a happy, stable, honest environment. And I think that if Jason and I can't give that to them together, then it would be healthier for our children if we gave them the stabilty and love apart. My mom was never with my dad, he was an a** and he wanted nothing to do with me. My mom really wanted me to have a father, so when she married my ex-stepdad, she stayed with him even though she didn't love him. She did eventually leave him, and the light finally came out in my mom again. Even though I was little, I knew that something was keeping my mom from being truly happy, and once the stepdad was out of the picture, I had my amazing happy, fun mom back. That's what I want for my kids, for them to be happy, and it's hard to be completely happy with unhappy parents.
Whew... that was mouthful! haha! I never went through the whole mom and dad divorce situation, So I really have no clue how hard it is, but I'm sorry you had to go through it.
{How are you feeling today, by the way? I hope you're feeling good, and cherishing it, because here VERY soon for you, that baby bump will be gone! And you're going to have your precious little girl! I'm so excited for you!}

mommytobe007 - Friday, 16 May
The doctors went really well today :). I herd the babys heartbeat again today! I wish my Bf was there :(. He told me my placentas low lined but nothing to worry about so he booked me another ultrasound on June 26t. So hopefully the baby moves by then so i dont have to have a C section :(.

Motheroftwo - Friday, 16 May
Yeah, Jason did a complete 180! He is such a great dad, I'm still blown away! He's absolutely an AMAZING father.I had my mom in the delivery room, and I'm glad that she was there,but I feel like I kind of robbed Jason of his "moment" and that guilt is never going to go away. As soon as Jason started crying when he saw our daughter, he went directly into the bathroom so that my mom wouldn't see him. I feel so bad. Nobody is going to rob Jason of his moment this time. And since my mom moved to Washington, I don't have to worry about how to tell her no. I'm so bad at saying no. It makes me sad, because my mom is all alone. She lives with her little tiny chihuahua, and she just beat breast cancer. So I feel horrible telling her anything she doesn't want to hear.

Motheroftwo - Friday, 16 May
It's true, there should def. be requirements to be able to have babies!
We also live in an income based townhouse. When I got pregnant Jason and I had only been together for 3 months, I know how bad that sounds, but he is the only person I have been with in my proud 19 years! lol. So we didn't really know what to do, we were only 17, and he had just gotten out of some not-so-good habits. So he stayed with me at my moms, and in a way, I'm kinda thankful because she taught me so much about being a mom on my own, she would help, but she taught me different ways to make it easier to do on my own. Luckily, both of my neighbors have kiddos around my daughters age, so they are very quiet and respectful. I love my neighbors!
