rookie - Tuesday, 3 June
Thanks for the compliments on my nursery items so far. Our furniture should be in this week so I'm looking forward to putting it all together.
Hope you're feeling well.

MommyJewels - Tuesday, 3 June
I know! Lucky duck she is! I hope you have an easy one like that:)

MommyJewels - Monday, 2 June
Holly had Swayer....only pushed THREE times:)

MommyJewels - Monday, 2 June
Well thank you. I really appreciate it. I feel a lot better knowing that there is something out there. I am going to get my resume together and send it in today or tomorrow. I will feel much better having something even if it is part time!!!

Carseat/stroller...really like it. It's so simple to use that it actually took us awhile to figure out how to put the seat part down lol. It's very light weight and easy to move around. The carseat seems easy for John to move in and out. I haven't been able to lift the actual seat with him in it yet though. I would recommend it. I will read my email and get back to you honey!

MommyJewels - Monday, 2 June
Wow...looks really good. Do you know anyone who has worked for them? It looks very promising. I am going to research it more tomorrow and get my resume together again! That would be wonderful!

MommyJewels - Monday, 2 June
Oh! Thank you VERY much. I will check out that site. Thank you for thinking of me.

MommyJewels - Monday, 2 June
Prego1018 (Holly) is in labor!!!!! YIPEE!!!



MommyJewels - Monday, 2 June
Hi honey. How is your weekend? I will email you back tomorrow. I can't believe that crap!!!

I am really excited for you to have your U/S! Will the girls go with you? It will be so neat for you to see your little man and what he is up to in there:) Is he moving a lot more now? Have the girls been feeling him kick?

How are you feeling? I'm sorry that you are swelling up. I can't imagine with the weather getting hotter and hotter. I hope you can stay cool!!! I am really hoping that you have your little man a bit early!! I know that they say that previous pregnancies are a strong indication of what every pregnancy will be like...but you never know:) Maybe things will be easier on you and your water will break as soon as you get to full term and you won't have to be induced!!

I can't wait to see your crib set:)

Have you thought about any more names?

My weekend has been ok:) Yesterday we went to my dear friends baby shower. She was at our shower but she left before you got there. She has a 10 year old and a two year old and was PRAYING for a girl and is due July with a little princess. She and I have gotten very close and she lives in Highlands Ranch! So happy to have another baby so close in age. One of my other friends had her baby on New Year's Eve. Anyhow, it was lovely to be out and be with our friends. It was a great intimate little shower. The drive over there was painful and I wasn't the happiest camper...but I just pretended that everything was great!!! Everyone was so excited about our little man and showered us with compliments. We came home and my parents were here already...doing laundry, yard work and cleaning. I don't know what I would do without them. Then, they took us to dinner. We had to leave early because I was in too much pain to sit. I am calling the doctor tomorrow. I am passing some really BIG clots and having trouble peeing. They will probably want me to come in...which will be a nice lovely LONG drive. I am ready to be away from doctors for awhile lol.

I am going to try to go to the store a bit this week. John really needs my help and the business is not doing what we need it to be doing right now...so we are going to try to work really hard to get more people in. I am looking forward to working. I wish so much that I could find something from home...anything---but I'll keep looking. Meredith works from home for the Y-Me organization. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE that job. But, I called and they said that they ONLY hire breast cancer survivors. Bummer, but I think it is a great service.

I haven't heard from Sean at all since the baby was born. Disappointed. I asked Elle if she had heard from him and she hasn't let me know yet. Gena who runs the myspace page now is really nice though...have you chatted with her? I am really looking into getting more involved with cancer related things this summer. I think I am going to contact the local ACS chapter. OK...well I am just blabbing now. I am pumping right now.

Hope you are doing well-
j

MommyJewels - Thursday, 29 May
Thank you! I am SOOOOO in love with him. I cannot wait for you to have your little man. I just can't wait. I was talking to John's parents about you last night:) Sounds like Kimberly has a million things going on this summer for the kids...a lot of camps etc...but we will try to be up there as much as we can! I'll probably be up there soon to see his parents new house. It's pretty much done now!

Oh my gosh....David Cook is amazing. I just saw him on the TODAY show, but the link you sent me is incredible. I just adore him. What a great guy!

How are you?

prego1018 - Thursday, 29 May
No progress! :( She did another sweep though. It probably won't do a thing, so not even thinking that it might. I'm never having this kid!

How ya doing mama?

MommyJewels - Wednesday, 28 May
Hey!

Well you let me know what you would like for your shower. We can have it hear in a heartbeat, but if most everyone lives up there then maybe April will offer her house!? I had a shower for a friend that lives in Greeley down here last summer. Actually I had three showers here last summer. You'll have to let me know. Do you want girls only...co-ed....a traditional one with games etc. You let me know. This is about you! When would you like to have it????

I would LOVE to have you come over soon:) I am really looking forward to hang out with visitors :)

MommyJewels - Wednesday, 28 May

I saw the doctor today and so did Johnny:) It was really hard for me to be in the car (it's 45 minutes away). Everyone in the office was emotional because I was not throwing up and I was with baby:) It was really sweet. Things are ok. I'm swelling up where Allie jumped on me, but otherwise the c-section is healing. My bladder is damaged, but it is nothing that won't heal over time. My tailbone is badly bruised and might have a small fracture...and they said there is nothing I can do but sit on a doughnut and take my medications. I am looking forward to feeling BETTER and being back to my old HEALTHY self again:):)

Then Johnny had his appt. They were really worried last Friday because he had lost so much weight in the hospital with the jaundice etc. Then when we were home he still hadn't gained...but I have been feeding and pumping every two hours at least. Well he is doing great. Back up to 6#, 4 ounces:) Just two shy of his birth weight:) Yay!

How are you?

I would like to throw you a shower. I have been talking to April about it. She jusr wants to make sure that she and I are both recovered 1st lol. I am not sure who you would want to invite or where you would want it. Do most people live up there that you would want to invite? I was seeing if April would offer to have it at her place if you wanted it up there. Of course, I would do it down here at our house in a heartbeat~! You just let me know, but I really want to do something for you. We can make it co-ed if you would like your brother etc there and MAYBE just MAYBE that would be nice if Jay could come~ You let me know though. We can figure it all out. I want you to have shower to celebrate this baby, to celebrating having a boy. To make sure that you get the things that you need especially with everything that you have been through. We can talk about it more:)

prego1018 - Tuesday, 27 May
The last days ARE the hardest!!! My little guy never got the memo that he was suppose to slow down, because he kicks and squirms sooo much! It keeps me up at night! Went to the Doctor last week and I'm 1cm dilated. Not much, but it was more than I thought! I go back Wednesday to see if anything has happened since.

How are you doing???

MommyJewels - Tuesday, 27 May
Hey you!

Well, I just think that you should offer him the chance. If he is still a jerk after all this and after things have hopefully settled down, then he doesn't even deserve to be in your life. BUT, my hope is that he has calmed down and will be able to be less selfish and be there for you.

You know I would be there for you in a HEARTBEAT if you needed anything. Even if you just want someone to be there before you start pushing. Or anything else you might need.

I have a camera...that is a little Sony. I can't rememeber what it is and it's downstairs. We also have some fancy Nikon camera that John got from his parents...that is where some of the really nice pictures came from:)

I'm sorry that you are tired and bummed. This weather doesn't help that at all. I hope that you don't get more exhausted with this week!

I'm doing ok. We are going to have steaks for dinner and watch a movie. I just broke down to John. I am just in so much pain and was frustrated that I'm not able to do more. BLAH. I think it's just being super hormonal post-preggers. I just needed to cry and now I feel better.

Tomorrow I go for my two week post-op appt and to Johnny's two week doctor appt. Both a bit ealier than two weeks, but I'm glad we are going tomorrow. I have lots of ?'s for my doctor and of course we want to see lots of weight gain at his appointment!

MommyJewels - Tuesday, 27 May
Hey. I am doing ok. Recovering from being out yesterday. In the middle of pumping right now. I think that if jay is not there that you will have great support from your nurses. I had two nurses in there both holding my legs and they were wonderful. :)

I wonder if you should call Jay and see what happens or not. If he is in a good mood then you could talk and see how he is doing. Otherwise you could flat out ask him if he plans on ever talking to again etc. I am not sure WHAT in the heck his problem is!?!?!?!?!?!?

I just wish that I could have the answers for you. BLAH..MEN.

Are you girls having a nice weekend?

MommyJewels - Monday, 26 May
Hey you!
How are you?

I'm doing ok. The store was nice. I had a rough time sitting and was in a lot of pain when we left, but it was lovely to see everyone. I just need to stay home and rest now! Johnny/Trey is doing very well. He hasn't been fussy at all since getting snipped. :)

I am so sorry that you are having to deal with Jay. Or the lack there of. I DO NOT understand this behavior at all and I wish so much that I had the words to soothe you and make things better. Did you end up texting him the day of the torandos and not hear back? GEESH, when is he planning on contacting you!?!? I think it makes it more tough that you met about a year ago. It's just very sad that he is being the way he is right now. I was praying that he would have some clarity and realize what he has been doing, but it sounds like he is really self consumed still:(

Slings....John's mom bought me a GREAT one from Macy's. The baby is too small for it, but I have used it a little. We have an old school Jerry Carry too lol. I want to go onto that site that you sent me and make a sling though:)

I am so sorry that you are not getting relief from the SPD. Did the doctor give you any indication if it would get better or worse during the pregnancy? I can imagine that you must be exhausted and trying to run after the girls etc. Please let me know if you need anything. I can't do much right now, but John's parents are up there a lot and they would love to help out:)



MommyJewels - Saturday, 24 May
Hey-

Glad your appt went well. That is really cute that Emily got to go. I bet that meant a lot to her. I can't believe that you start going every two weeks. Does the time feel like it is flying by? How is your SPD? Any better? How are you feeling otherwise?? Are YOU worried about the weight gain or is your doctor? The reason I ask is that it seems like every doctor is SO different from what the ladies on the site have said. Some doctors are so concerned about a couple pounds and others aren't at all. I GAINED A LOT. My doctors were so amazed because of the HG. I just told them as a cancer survivor I know how to FORCE myself. I really porked up at the end there and had A LOT of water weight. I ended up gaining 45 pounds. Johnny/Trey is 9 days old and I have lost 23 pounds already! From doing nothing but breastfeeding CONSTANTLY and sitting on my bum! The only problem is that my boobs are SO big that NONE of my prepregnancy shirts fit over them.

Holly (prego1018) said that there was a baby expo next weekend here in Denver. I REALLY want to go ...but I'm not sure if I can walk around that much.

BUT...when you come down here we will have to go the Once Upon a Child store near my house:)

Lily's birthday is June 27th so I will certainly be up north whenever we celebrate that...but I am hoping to get together with the family up there sooner. I would LOVE to spend more time with you this summer. You and the girls are always welcome down here. We have a really nice pool a the club house where we had our shower:) I just can't wait to spend more time with you and prepare for your little man coming into the world.

Have you thought more about names? What else do you still need? Has anyone talked you about a baby shower? I know you have the girls already...but this is your first boy! Big reason to celebrate:)

You will have to let me know if you need anything when you get closer to your due date or are in labor/delivery. Whatever you need just ask.

Yes:( John has to work all weekend:( BOO. I am hoping that he will take me to the store on Sunday. The team has a weekly meeting and they all really want to see me. We have the best team EVER. I love them all like family. They work so hard and are incredibly loving. My parents will be coming to help some more. I still can't do much of anything myself lol.

MommyJewels - Saturday, 24 May

His circumcision went well. He did not even cry which was AMAZING. The doctor is just wonderful and I loved their technique. I was thankfully not in the room for it. We almost didn't do though. Doctor was concerned about his weight gain:( He only gained an ounce since Tuesday:( I cried when the doctor walked out. I have been doing everything. I have been feeding every two hours and supplementing forumla and pumping. I was really discouraged. But...his output is impressive and the doctor said he hopes that the baby just gains weight!!!! I am going to pump more and we go back tuesday to see how he is doing. He is at 6 pounds right now. All his outfits are too big for him. I have him in the newborn and the 5-7 pound outfits and he is swimming in almost everything he owns. My mom is at BRU's right now to get a couple preemie outfits.

I can't believe this weather AGAIN. It's just incredible. I am just so glad that everyone is ok. That must have been scary for you living up there. So heartbreaking seeing all the damage up there. I am just glad that there weren't more injuries or deaths. I hope this weather improves soon!

I didn't even realize this was the holiday weekend! Do you have any plans?

How was your appt?

MommyJewels - Friday, 23 May
Hey~

Yeah I have so many pregnant friends right now but a couple of them already have some anxiety problems and pregnancy is stressful enough...I didn't want to post a horror story and scare anyone lol. The thing is that I am ok and will be ok...but I still didn't want to stress everyone out.

I thought Idol would be closer as well. I think David Archuleta did a excellent job and although I love Cook...I think that the AI competition would have meant more to him than Cook. Maybe I am wrong...it sounds like David Cook is an incredibly genuine and nice person. I think we need to plan a date to watch him whenever he comes to town. It can be our little boys first concert!

Let me know how your appt goes tomorrow.

I am REALLY upset that you still haven't heard from him. I know that you would tell me if you did...but I guess I was hopeful that maybe, just mayeb you had heard something. A month is just uncalled for. I don't know what to tell you. It's just not fair. I don't understand it and I can't imagine how YOU feel. Hopefully your text gets to him and you do hear back. What a scary day up there it must have been for all of you.



MommyJewels - Thursday, 22 May
It is! I have had 9news on this whole afternoon. I am just so glad that people are ok. I cannot imagine those parents of that daycare. I bawled of course watching the mom/nurse talk about it. I just hope that these storms this evening aren't too powerful!

MommyJewels - Thursday, 22 May
I am really worried about you. The news is going nuts with the torando. I guess I'll go text you

MommyJewels - Thursday, 22 May
We were trying to watch the show before it was over while recording it and our DRV cut off right when they said Cook was the winner. So we missed the end...but I am going to try to find it online because I want to see him singing!

Did you have a good night?

MommyJewels - Thursday, 22 May
Thanks. That is cute that Emily liked my hair. I couldn't barely shower, but I just attempted to get it wet and clean for picture. It required no effort at all!

How are you doing? How is your SPD? When do you see the doctor again? How are things going?

Johnny had his appointment on Tuesday. We needed to make sure that his weight was stable and that he didn't have worse jaundice. It was a wreck me getting there. I was crying! I am not allowed to drive for 2 more weeks...and I am only allowed downstairs once a day...so I am pretty limited. BUT...Johnny is getting his circumsion done of Friday. We will see if I can go to that.

CAn't wait for Idol. I pretend that we are watching together lol. I bet your baby bump looks adorable now:) I thought of you when David Cook was crying as well. I just want them both to win lol!!

MommyJewels - Wednesday, 21 May
Thank you! I miss you! Have fun watching Idol tonight. I plan on getting online more tomorrow. I hope you are having a good week.
