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!)

Haha! The lampshade, good idea. I can just picture a pregnant girl sitting on the couch with a bag of oddly flavored chips and a lampshade on her head! haha!
I actually have a "friend" who had her daughter not too long after I had mine, and she gave her daughter to her mother, and is now pregnant and due June 24th with a little boy that she is giving up for adoption. It's so much easier to pass your kiddo on to someone else, but it's so worth it to just grow up. It makes me sick how some people take being a mother/father so lightly. It's the biggest job that anyone will ever do.
I know exactly what you mean. When I get out of the hospital there will be NO ONE here! Me, Adelyn, Jason, and Baby Boy. That is it! Me and Jason still lived with my mom when we had Adelyn, so we never really got to have our own little family time until she was about 6 months old.
But you got you're place with your noisy neighbors, lol! It'll be nice for you!

Motheroftwo - Friday, 16 May
Oh I got comments from unpregnant girls all the time when I was pregnant with my daughter. Not so much with this pregnancy because I rarely get out of the house. When I was pregnant with ym daughter, I didn't quit smoking, I know how bad that is, but she is perfectly healthy and she was born perfectly healthy. I would get perfect strangers coming up to me criticizing me and preaching to me about it. I know that I shouldn't have been smoking, but at the same time it was my stupid decision, and nobody needed to be judging me for it. That pissed me off so bad!
My favorite right now is the 14-15 years olds that I know that are pregnant right now saying how having a baby is going to be so fun, and it's not going to change who they are as a person and all the bull sh**. They don't realize that being a parent is not always fun, It's really hard work, and EVERYTHING about you changes, nothing stays the same. I feel bad for them, because they have no clue what they are in for.
I'm watching Bringing home baby on TLC right now, haha! It's sad, but I love seeing the little babies!
If you think of that name let me know! Pregnant girl brains are the best, they only seem to hold information for about 5 minutes tops!

Yeah, I've noticed that you can't really base your preggie experience on anyone else's. Contractions, included! The boys will bond - but what's most important for me at the beginning is having the baby get used to latching and blah, then I'll pump and have Marshall feed - we both agreed. We want him on breast milk. I have some friends who feel strongly about going to formula right away but I say "good for them." Maybe one of the reasons I stopped talking to people is because I keep getting unsolicited advice. Maybe we're both experiencing being territorial/protective parents. I don't want anyone telling me what to do with my child. Even though I work from home, people tell me to consider childcare after I tell them that I want to feel it out and then, based on how my kid is, think about it. And they give me their stories about friends who work from home and can't when their baby's around. It also depends on the nature of the work and the baby. Peer pressure never worked for me anyway. I can't believe how close we are to having our babies - remember at the beginning? All the worries we had - those didn't stop but they're different worries. =)

Unpregnant, not mothers suck! :o)
Thanks for being helpful with the stressful name situation! Have fun, I'll talk to you later!

Motheroftwo - Friday, 16 May
Oh I know what you mean! All of my "friends" got way to cool to hang out with me when I got pregnant with Adelyn. My best friend Jen has a three year old, but she lives 45 minutes away. My Jason says that Jackson is at least 2 hours from here. Being young and pregnant is way lonely sometimes, because most people our age aren't having babies and taking on huge responsabilties yet, but I wouldn't change it, I would rather be lonely sometimes and be a mother than have friends and freedom anyday!
I know people that have named their children Wyatt, Jaiden, and Issac. I can't find anything... It's a bummer. If I were having a girl this time She would already have a name... me and Jason were so convinced that it was going to be a girl because EVERYONE in his family has girls, so we had those names picked out. She was going to be either Skyler, or Victoria (Tori for short)... but we have our work cut out for us now.

Motheroftwo - Friday, 16 May
Oh that's gorgeous, I love the spelling!
Coopersville is about 20 minutes east of Grand Rapids.
Jason and I actually can't agree on a name. I had my daughters name picked the very night I found out I was pregnant with her. Jason likes Cameron, and I like Chase, but I have the feeling he wont be either of those just because we can't agree on either of them.
So if you here any good boy names def. let me know. I'm going nuts just calling baby boy, he needs a name.

agummybear - Friday, 16 May
I just have a feeling that something is going to happen sooner than later. I think I've been having contractions, but I'm not sure. Lot's of pelvic pain and pressure, but it doesn't last long and it's not that bad, so who knows. I'm hoping to make it until my doctors appointment tomorrow morning.

Motheroftwo - Friday, 16 May
I live in Coopersville. I think I can safely say that it is FAR more boring! haha! The most exciting in this town is the dump... and you can smell it from EVERYWHERE! It's truly nauseating! :o)
This is my second pregnancy, so being pregnant for longer than two days seems like forever. LoL. I really do love being pregnant though.
I think it would be great if a guy had to go through this, but those pansies couldn't handle it. haha, I love my fiance, but if he had to have the babies, we wouldn't be having another one EVER!
I love your slide show, week by week you get a little bit bigger, I guess I don't notice because I dont have pictures of each week. I just always feel like a blimp :o).
You're belly is adorable. Congrats on your little girl! I'm excited for her to pop out so I can ind out what you're naming her. I always want to know more when the parents aren't telling!

MotherofTwo - Friday, 16 May
Reading through all of your little postings reminded me so much of me!
Guys are so rediculous... I don't think they know what hormonal and sensitive mean sometimes...
But hey, You're almost done! LUCKY!

shannondawnb - Friday, 16 May
Hey honey,
poor little baby bunny booh, at least their was an alternate option for you, the credit card plan was brilliant, i would ve done the same thing! it saved your little bunnys life and foot. :)
there s a lot of pressure at this point with finances and baby coming, you're hubby sounds overwhelmed and doesnt relate emotionally to the bunny, dont take it personaly. Things always have a way of working out and you are all set for baby to come, so breathe and know that the problem is somewhat resolved now :)

my7thbabyduemay20th2008 - Thursday, 15 May
Yep, that's it, and some you can put up and take down, if you move house without hurting the paintwork.

CanadianMamaB - Thursday, 15 May
It's true, she would totally forget all about not being there once she got there and saw the baby... Hmmmm. LOL

agummybear - Thursday, 15 May
Yes, Men can be very aggrevating. My husband like to yell at me to relax and to take it easy, and then have the balls to comment on the house being a mess, or not having dinner. Grrr. I've been sick for a few days now and the docotr told me to chill out, and then he chimes in with I've benn telling you that for days but you don't listen to me. Annoying. Anyway, thanks for listening. I don't think I'm going to make it to my scheduled c-section on Wednesday. How are you doing? Any progress?

kekoa28 - Thursday, 15 May
I went to my doc today and she did check me - I am 2cm dilated and she said that my cervix is "ripe" - nice to know that there's so progress! Yeah, people seem to be coming out of the woodwork when they find out I'm pregs! I get more calls and texts than ever. I'm not very good with phone calls and everything - I end up dodging them! I'm bad. Contractions right now are a lot stronger - it feels like my uterus just tighten up into a ball, I feel pressure on the floor of my pelvis and bladder and if I'm walking, it hurts. What are they like for you? And yes, I do plan to breast feed. I know it will be hard but I want to give it my best try. Are you going to breast feed? I'm already leaking some kind of fluid from my breasts - sometimes it's milky and sometimes clear so I'm not sure if it's the colostrum or whatever that stuff is. =)

ArmybabyCross - Thursday, 15 May
Hi I read your background story and I had alot of people tell me that too....I feel really bad when they say stuff like that!! Congrats on your pregnancy

IraqiMom - Thursday, 15 May
hey huny, how you doing?

CanadianMamaB - Thursday, 15 May
I hope for your sake that your Mom does not resort to that! It would make me extremely angry too!

I can't believe how our mother's are being so selfish. It's like they aren't taking our feelings or needs into consideration at all. I know that my Mom is excited and everything, this being her first grandchild, but I just feel like her whole attitude has been really selfish. She completely does not care how I feel about having her in the room with us, all she cares about is that she gets in there one way or another. It's nuts! To top it off, her and my step-mom were having a conversation a few months back about how I seem so "cold" because I don't want to go have the baby in my hometown where they live. (It's 3 1/2 hours away). Umm hi, we live here, my husband works here, we have THE best hospital in the whole province, why would I want to travel 3 1/2 hours to have the baby, only to have to pack her back up again and move her back? They aren't thinking about us or the baby at all. I was sooooo mad when she told me about that. Argh! It's great to vent though, and although I feel bad for you, at the same time i'm glad someone feels my pain! LOL

Do you ever hope for a C-section just so you have an excuse to just have your man with you? LOL it sounds horrible but I am almost hoping it will go that way so that it could just be me and him. Or sometimes I contemplate not calling my Mom til the last minute (since she lives 3 1/2 hours away) so that there would be no chance in heck that she could make it on time, and be like, "Oops! She just came so fast!"

BUT I know when it comes right down to it I won't be able to. I would feel way to guilty. Blah.

my7thbabyduemay20th2008 - Thursday, 15 May
Hehehe, sorry to burst your bubble hun.
The best way for you to know what a frieze is, is to google it on the internet, it is kinda like a border of designs that go around a room.

Hey Mallory,
That is so funny, I read that SAME birth story and was shocked! How the hell could they be off 3 lbs!? That is insane. I would have been so mad, since he obviously did it to fit his own schedule, ASS!
I am starting to worry about labor and bringing baby home :( Kenny is acting weird and I dont think he is ready...he was doing so well at first... and now... I dont know anymore.... I noticed increased alcohol/weed intake and the purchase of an XBox 360 + flat screen TV... so I feel like he needs those things because I am not good enough or something :(
Sorry I am just extra insecure... I wish they had medication for that................ anyway sorry it took me so long to respond! Talk to you soon :)
