January 22, 2008

Well I'm almost at 30 weeks. My back has been hurting. He still hasn't gotten in position yet so he kicks me on my sides when i try to sleep. I passed my glucose test (75), never had morning sickness, I did get a lot of head aches but that seems to have stopped (thank god), I think I've only gained 13 pounds so far, no stretch marks yet =), and no swelling of my hands or feet, so all in all I've had a good pregnancy. I'm still planning on going to the birthing center and doing a water birth. I start my lamzee (*spelling*) class in february. My fiance's mom is going to come over and help me with the baby's area. We're planning on moving because right now we are in a one bedroom apartment. Since I just moved here I don't have to many friends so i wasn't sure if I would have a baby shower (which I'm really sad about). Brian's mom said something over the weekend about planning one so I'm super excited!!!!! I can't believe I'm going to be a mom though. It scares and excites me. I use to take care of all my friends kids and I loved it. I love kids so I know I can handle this, but I can't picture myself as a mom. LOL Does anyone feel the same??? Then again is anyone really ready for what we are in store for??? LOL God BlessI'm so Happy. We are having a little boy and everything looks good. He has very long arms and legs and he's only 20 weeks. Hope he doesn't get to big. LOL No problems either. Very healthy looking. I can't be any happier. Now we just have to agree on a name. LOL

October 30, 2007

Well I still haven't told my work that I'm pregnant. I just started in September and I'm worried that they will fire me. On to better news. I keep feeling these flutters in my tummmy and my friend said thats the baby kicking!! Wow it's so amazing to think that their is someone growing inside me. LOL My mom got me this Yoga cd for pre and post baby. It has been very helpful in the morning when my back hurts. It's kinda funny listening to the instructer talk about your baby. I'm still in shock. LOL Good Luck to all!!! Best Wishes and God Bless!!

A little about me

Hello. I just moved to Greenbelt, Maryland in April. This is my first pregnancy. It's kinda hard on me since I'm away from my mom. I never thought I would be pregnant without her near me. I feel bad for her too, since I'm her only child. I know God is watching over us and this move was for a reason. I just pray that she will be able to make it her for our delievery. :-) If not a told her our hospital phone bill is gonna be $$$$$$$$. LOL She's going through a hard divorce right now. My mom married Markus (the only father figure I ever knew) 12 years ago. 2 days before I moved to maryland he told us that he was gay. I was so angry and hurt. My mom didn't deserve this. But like a superwoman she is....nothing can stand in her way. Yes she isn't happy but she keeps her faith in the good lord and in time he will heal all wounds. What an amazing God he is. Well enough about me. Congrats on everyones pregnancies. May god bless you with a healthy baby and a safe pregnancy and delievery!!!!!!!! God Bless

Where are you?? Hello?? haha...just checkin on you, hope all is well! We are sooo slow today at work, we have some of the weather from that hurricane. yuck! talk to you soon!


halesss7410 - Monday, 21 July
Dude---I started Addison in daycare today!! I think that we are going to like it though. i am going crazy though--i called and checked on her and they said that she was a little fussy only becaus they have a little boy in there that cries ALL DAY!! so they think that Addison was just getting frustrated with the noise. do you think that she will come home a crier?? other than that i love it there. the lady that is keeping her is an older lady in her 60's that is so so so sweet!! Addison loves her already. she rocks that babies and tries to read to them everyday. the room is real nice with music playing. oh i hope this works out.

o... the wait was until oct or nov and i cried my way in to have her start today!! haha. my mom was sopposed to watch her on friday and i ended up having to call into work because we didnt trust her to watch her and that cant happen anymore. i called the daycare and told them that i really want her to come her asap and that they come highly recommended. i also 'named dropped' a few ppl that we both know and they let me right in! magic! it pays to know ppl. well just though i would share the hjoy. miss taling to ya! write me!


halesss7410 - Tuesday, 15 July
i am sorry that you were sick--that sucks!! As far as the formula thing goes...i started her on similac sensitive and she seems to be doing good on it. she still spits up a little but it is normal and it is now when she breastfeeds. weird!! the doc gave me 3 bottles of the ready to feed formula and it is nice the only bad thing is that it only last for 72 hours and you cant freeze it. so we waist a lot of milk because she drinks breast milk mostly. i told her sitters to give her the formula during the day and only one breastmilk bottle so that i can use it. but anyways!! finding a daycare sux by the way!! i called the daycare that i originally wanted her to go to and now they are saying that there may not be any openings for 6mo. i dont know what i am going to do!! i dont want to just place her somewhere!! yikes!! the whole babysitter thing is not going very well--it is becoming and inconvience and i dont want to deal with it anymore!! everyone told me that they were going to give up there days off and it has only been 3wks and now look!! and i am not trying to be ugly when i say this cause i know that my mom is trying to get caught up on bills and stuff, but she begged me to let her watch her while i went back to work. she wanted to watch her mon-fri and she hasnt even watched her 1 day. i could scream!!!

ok-- i got that all out! it is worth the money to know that kobi has somewhere to go everyday!! i wish that i had that!! well let me get to work!! ttyl


halesss7410 - Friday, 11 July
i brought Addison to the doc today--i am always there- to ask about the formula. we started her on the similac senstive premixed. she drank her first bottle with the sitter and she hasnt spit it up. it has rice cereal in it and sits heavier so that she can hold it down. i am hoping that this works. if she still ends up having trouble then we will do an UGI-upper GI xray were she will be NPO (cant eat) for 12 hrs and then drink barium. it sucks and i dont think that i am going to let them order it because i know that it is just the transition for BM to formula. well>> i am going to close down and get home!! I am glad that you and Brian are getting caught up. i wish i could take a vacation here but i am out of PTO. i will talk to you later have a nice weekend!!!


halesss7410 - Thursday, 10 July
i am starting her on soy--did i tell you that? i was going to yesterday but i had enough bottles made so that she only had to drink breastmilk. i am not going to mix BM and formula anymore. i will just try different things and combinations of things until we find out what is making her throw up. so have you heard anything about soy products? do think think that it is safe to start her on it or do you think that i should call her pediatrician first? i am trying to pump enough bottles but like i said before--it is hard to keep up with demand. one more question--- how many ounces does Kobi drink in one feeding (bottle) i thought that she is drinking 4oz but aunt sandy told me today that she is wanting more after we give her bottle. I am so confused when it comes to making the correct decisions.


halesss7410 - Wednesday, 9 July
HI!! it was nice talking to you too! it isfunny how much we have in common! so i started Addison on soy formula today-- i just want to see if she can digest it better and have less tummy problems.

Ohhhh.... GUESS WHAT!!--- SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT--til 7am!!!

well talk to ya later!!


halesss7410 - Tuesday, 8 July
i know that feeling. we have been super busy as well! talk to ya tonight--i get off at 5 as well.


halesss7410 - Tuesday, 1 July
That stinks about your car!! I think that my half days are over. I was going to stay all day yesterday but for some reason decided not to. I have to make myself stay all day today--bosses are getting kinda aggrivated with me. I want to look for another job at a doc office somewhere with set hours but i like it her. I spoke to my friend amy yesterday about it and she said that she would let me know what drs are hiring--i just dont want to start at the bottom of the totum pole again-- well let me get to work i will ttyl.


halesss7410 - Thursday, 26 June
just letting you know that i am already in trouble and it is only day 4 at work. haha...this is sooo much fun!!
oh by the way-- pumping gets harder and harder everyday!! this is miserable. did i tell you that my family is willing to watch addison for me so that i dont have to put her in daycare? now that i know that she is safe, it seems to be getting easier and easier to leave her and come to wrok. i never would have thought that i would miss having adult conversation as i do now!! well write me back or call!!


Baby-Beiler - Wednesday, 25 June
you too you have a great day. hey you know what i would try. put him on the floor in a quiet room and try to engage him that way. im sure everything is fine. God Bless!


halesss7410 - Wednesday, 25 June
i got my new cell it is 409-554-1595 call me if you want.

oh-- so i have 5 ppl that are willing to watch her until i can get her into the daycare that i want her to go to. it is nice to know that she is at home and is ok. but any who. i cant really manage to pump that much her. i dont have a place to use my electric pump so i am in the bathroom with a manuek one that doesnt work! so i cant really save any milk because only 1 1/2 oz come out. i am starting to like coming to work again even though it is hard to leave her. i am liking the adult conversation that think. well let me get out of here--she has an ear infection and i have to take her to the doc. i thought that brstfed babies dont get these?? ttyl.


halesss7410 - Tuesday, 24 June
I started work yesterday and it was the hardest thing that i ever had to do. i took her to a daycare that i had mixed feelings about and cried on and off all day. when i went to pick her up i cried i was soooo mad. yesterday was her first and last day of daycare!! she was in a room with toddelers that could walk and was in the middle of the floor in a bouncer with kids poking at her. the had been crying for 2 hrs-- she never cries!! and her diaper was on so tight that it left a blister. i was so angry. i have my sis in law watching her today and tomorrow and i feel better being at work today. i am only working half days so i get off at 12.00 for the rest of this week and next until i can find somewhere else for her. she is such a sweet little baby and it just brakes my heart that they were not good with her. she wasnt there all day thank goodness but man!! i still havent gotten my new cell yet--still waiting on the sim card to come in. (i signed up with a friend that works for at&t and she hooked me up with a bill that is only 2.00/day! i get 1000 min and 200 text/pic messages. i am just waiting for it to come in. so does it get better leaving him?? does it get easier?? i came to work and everything has changed so i am going to start looking for another job too.
that is funny that he wants another. i wouldnt mind doing it again, just not right this second. i want to have money next time!! i want to be able to take 6months off too!! they are just too little to have to leave! well let me get out of here, it is 11:30. i will let you know when i get my phone. anyday now i hope! bye


Baby-Beiler - Monday, 23 June
i just read your question on the three month page about your baby not wanting to make eye contact. my baby does that to if you get too close to her face. If you get too close she will turn her head and aften when ii hold her she looks all over te place but not necessarily at me. i think its part of her learning and part of their own comfort. make sure that if you are still concernedthat you bring it up at the next check up and try to be specific about what is happening because i dont think drs. listen to us first time moms very well. God Bless You!


bellybumbles - Monday, 23 June
i've heard it's from breastfeeding too...is he sitting facing you? or leaning against you? try holding a mirror right in front of your face and then moving it like playing peek a boo. As for the sex thing...we aren't having much sex right now...partly because i keep losing my patience with my husband, partly because reese still sleeps on my chest a lot, partly because we're both tired. But when we do, it's still a little uncomfortable and def. not as good as when I was preg. lol. but I read it can take up to a year to be normal again, which is about when we want to start on numero 2, lol...so i guess i'll be in the dumps for a while haha.


halesss7410 - Saturday, 21 June
i start work on the 23rd...ohhh...my phone is broken i am getting a new one with a new number on monday. i dont have urs anymore. when i get my new number ill let u know what it is.

i am breastfeeding and giving formula as well. i wasnt taking in enough calories/day when she was 3wks so i interduced forluma to fatten her up. i eat now and drink ensure to fatten my milk up but still give her 2-4oz/day of formula if i am away from the house.

have you started him on cereal? i heard to wait til 4mo but everyone keeps telling me to give it to her now so the she will sleep through the night. i dont think that her little belly is ready for it. what do you think?

ahout daycare-- yes!! EXPENSIVE! i am not paying that much though. she is starting out at a daycare that i dont love 100% but in august will switch her to the one that i like. it has a webcam so that i can watch at work. that is all that i need--haha. this website and the daycare instead of working!!

what formula is he on? Addison is on simalac and i get it free with WIC (


halesss7410 - Sunday, 15 June
I know that it sux!!! I guess we will be able to keep in touch now! I am going back on the 23rd. I am so sad! How much will you be paying for daycare? Are you still breast feeding? i am-- i want to continue but it seems too hard to once i go back to work. i have milk stored in the freezer. well i hope to hear from you soon! ttyl


halesss7410 - Sunday, 1 June
Hey chica--sorry i havent done a good job keeping in touch--i dont have the internet at home (stone age) so i have to wait til we gt out of the hosuse. So how has everyone?? You need to post some new pics--as do i-- they grow sooo fast! do how is the baby doing?? Addison is sduch a good baby-- she drains me sometimes but she is sooo good. She only cries when she is hungry but i have spoiled her and she wants to be held all of the time. we have to catch up!!
I have to go back to work soon--have you gone back yet? i dont want to leave her-- i am totally overprotective!! I will type my birth story while i am online--- I miss talking to u -- i am a bad friend but loving motherhood. I wil talk to you soon!


mom2boy - Tuesday, 13 May
No I never nap when he does. Sometimes I try when I am way exhausted but if I am exhausted to the point where I am dieing for sleep it is because he is being way fussy and won't sleep at night or during the day. What ends up happening is I will finally start getting sleepy and ready to fall asleep and WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. So most the time I don't even dare try and nap for fear of the disappointment.


mom2boy - Friday, 9 May
Yeah I know what you mean about feeling like you are the only one who can sooth him plus breastfeeding on top of that makes me feel very stuck to Jamison. I'm ok with it though that is natures way of keeping baby and mom close I guess. Jamison gets really fussy at night before bed too. We usually get him down by 8 or 9 and he'll sleep until 12 or 1 eat and go right back to sleep until 4 or 5 eat and go right back to bed. My husband gets up with him the first time, changes his diaper and brings him to me, then I feed and put him down the next time is up I just get him, feed him, and put him back. That's what works for us and we both feel like we got some sleep. Jamison is a way noisy sleeper too. It helps to feed him in bed laying down although sometimes I fall asleep while breastfeeding and wake up 4 hours later with Jamison ready to eat again, rooting around my boob.


1st-time-Mami - Thursday, 8 May
Hey! Nice to hear back from you :o) Yes, I'm working full time and everything is going pretty great. My family left on April 7th so I'm doing things on my own now and taking her to daycare so I can go to work. She is sleeping between 5 and 6 hrs straight a night. How long is yours sleeping? She usually wakes up around 4AM I feed her and change her and she goes right back to sleep. I have her sleeping in her crib in her room because we both seem to sleep better; she doesn't wake up when I move in bed and I don't wake up when she stretches or moves, so we are happier this way. She used to wake up a lot more though... Have you tried swaddling him? I bought one of those easy swaddling things with the velcro and it works wonders for my little girl and she sleeps longer that way (yeay!) and I wake her up and feed her before I go to bed at 11PM so she sleeps even longer sometimes. Have you thought about pumping? That's what I do when I'm at work (they have a breast pumps room) and that way your bf can alternate with you at night. Just remember that if the less you breast feed or express milk the less you are going to produce. Oh and here is a heads up: Vaccines suck! I think they hurt me more than they hurt her when she cried! :o\

Hey let me know if you want to hang out sometime, ok?

Hope everything gets better soon,

XOxo Liz and Neliz

I weny natural at home for 15 hours and got to the hospital to find out I was 2 cm. That was a huge let down so I got an epi but things weren't progressing and then my cervix started swelling and my dilating actually went down from a 7 to a 6 so we had to do a c-section. He was face up so that was the cause of all the trouble, it is ok though because he came out perfect and healthy!


mom2boy - Wednesday, 7 May
Thanks, he already looks so much older! How is being a mom treating you?
