I was lying in bed and started having cramping, thought nothing of it as the past few weeks of hoping had turned out to be absolutely nothing at all and was very disappointing. So I went to sleep. I had dreams of being in the hospital and having pain but I could feel the pain in real life... so weird. 4:30am hubby was getting up for work, the cramping was still there. I told him I was unsure if he should go to work. Then I completely doubted it as it has been nothing for so damn long. So I said forget it just keep your phone on and bring it with you. So at 5am I got out of bed and said, they arent going away. he asked if I thought baby was coming, I said i duno. So he left for work and I stayed home. at 7am I started having contractions but they werent consistant AT ALL so again, thought it was BH`s. Crazy shit I tell ya. I started timing them on the computer and still werent consistant at all. Called hubby and told him to come home as i wanted to be checked to ease my mind. I thought about packing my bag but didnt do it. Hubby picked up our babysitter on hisway home and I decided to pack my bag. Still not having pain, just discomfort. So we left for the hospital and got there at about 10:30 am and got in right away, they checked me and to my surprise I was 3cm. Then reality hit me and I was like `oh shit its actually happening`. 20 mins later they checked me again and I was 3-4cm.. .I was thinking well DAMN Im laboring SLOW as I never have before this time! So they told me to walk. I walked for a half hour, got upstairs and we went into the labor lounge and sat there and I started having real contractions that actually hurt me badly. I didnt make a peep. I breathed through them and swayed and sang... kids songs in my head ! It worked WELL! It didnt stop the pain but it got my mind off of it and and it was so much easier to deal with the pain. So an hour after being checked and being only 3-4cm I said to Cam `They need to check me now` so the nurse came and got me and brought me back to bed and said `ok yah your 7cm` so they brought me to my actual LDRP room. I used a wheel chair to get there as by now the pain was to bad to walk, let alone talk. I communicated by nodding and shaking y head. We got to the room in about 30 seconds and they told me to go pee. So I did. I came outta the bathroom and they said they were gonna start my IV as I was GBS positive and I told them, `no, you dont have time I have to push` and they said `oh ok`... as they knew I labored fast. So then I simply said I have to push and started to, they told me no but I didnt listen. I grunted my way through naturl childbirth. The nurse wanted to check me and I said no way. Then the doc said she had to and she did and I told her to get her fucking fingers outta there. So they told me to lay down while I pushed as I was on my side propped up. I said nothing and did my own thing, in my own time. Eventually I ended up on my side... which obviously wasnt long as I went went from 7 to delivery in 5 minutes!! But still.,. you get my point. Once I was on my side I felt the head coming out. I took a deep breath and grabbed Cams hands, despite their request to hold my own legs that WASNT HAPPENING! So I took that deep breath and let out one huge grunting scream and pushed her head out... then shoulders which were wrose... freaking OWY! She came out and was BLUE as the cord was around her neck. But she was fine, they placed her on my chest and she was here, she was finally here!!!!! We stayed in the hospital for 48 hours as I was GBS positive and had no IV meds before she came out. I am home now and am feeling great! My tummy is small again but still very flappy and you can tell I just had a baby, but it will go away in no time I know.

I love her SO MUCH and I am SO EXCITED to have her home!

Oh and I FINALLY have a baby that looks like ME! I have to admit though that she is a funny looking baby but she is cute to me... even though she looks Asian ! LOL!! I lvoe her! I will set pics up now! Love you ALLL!!!! And good luck to you ALL!

This is my Cameron with Brittany, Raymond and Sophie when she was first born!

So, basically...if you don't take any leave...lets say you don't have kids or get sick...then you still have to pay EI taxes??? If that's the case...then I guess a lot of people get screwed right? What if you have back to back kids? Do they still let you take the same amount of time for each? Can you tell I'm trying to move to Canada?

Oh, and what about health insurance??? That's paid by taxes also, right? Health insurance is really shitty in the US!!!! You have to work for someone that provides it.

Time sure does fly by so freakin fast except during the nights when I am trying to get some damn sleep! I must have gotten maybe 2 hours last night, no joke!!! It was horrible!!! I think I'm going to lose it.

Hey - I just read your comment about not being able to blow dry your hair. Babies like the noise of the blow dryer - puts mine to sleep every time. We let it run. It is considered a white noise and soothes them. If you have a bassinet, put the baby in there and blow dry away. If she is sleepy, it should help to put her to sleep. Hope if works, so you can the baby to rest and get your hair dried! :)

You think she is big??? When she gets to 8 pounds...she will be big. LOL

I would move to Canada...but you have long winters. Brrrrrrrrr


Boopy - Friday, 25 July
Is that a paid leave?????

Hi Tracy! Well I finally had my baby boy, 5 days late! Daniel Ian was born Sunday July 20th at 3h16 pm, 8bs 3 oz! I ended up with a c/s after 12 hours of "natural" labor after my water broken and then 18 hours on pitocin...But the little man just has my heart completely it makes it all worth it. Now I can keep in touch in the baby section - see you there! Anouk


Boopy - Thursday, 24 July

I havent talked to you in a while!! How are you and the baby?? So we were both due July 15th:) and I see you had your little girl 2 days after I had Logan!! I had Logan June 28th. Its amazing! Im so glad its over lol. He weighed 6 lbs 8oz and is now 9 lbs. How about Chloe? How big was she and how about now? Well talk to you soon its feeding time lol!

I was wondering how it would be...My baby (toddler) will be 2 when the new baby is born. Thought perhaps I would go crazy (more than usual- lol). But what I did throughout my daughters first year was simply go out for a couple minutes and just breath and relax...then go back into the havoc that is my home. A newborn ought to be interesting to add to the mix.


Boopy - Thursday, 24 July
My husband doesn't help at all during the week either...since he WORKS. Well...just wait...shit is gonna hit the fan when i go back sept 3rd and Anelise is acting like the normal 1.5 month old and he has to be a part of her care. Oh yeah...we may get a divorce...or I may just end up walking out on my job. Motherhood is no joke....and God bless you for having 4! No...I have not cried...but I need to really badly! I have yelled at the hubby for little things...but he deserves it as he has no idea!!!! Grrrrrr. Sorry it took me so long to respond...but he finally got home from work...which is usually at 8....and by then...I am so upset (very long day alone for me and this has been this way since she came home 6 weeks ago). We watched a movie...and then ended up arguing. Fun night. Well...that's it for now. Gotta go do the usual every 3 hour feeding. HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO WORK AND MANAGE BEING A MOTHER????? HELP!!!!


Boopy - Thursday, 24 July
One thought at a time here as I respond to your quetions. Will we have more kids? I would like another...but with that whole episode that I went thru with Anelise...I'm not sure. The same thing may happen again since I have fibroids and i will have to go on bed rest for a few months. Not sure if I'm down with that. However...I want my daughter to have someone to grow up with. So...I'm caught between a rock and a hard place.


Boopy - Thursday, 24 July
How dare you say that your baby is ugly. Shame on you...she was always cute. Just look at the beginning pics of my lil girl...not so pretty. Yeah, now that she has some fat on her...she's A ok.
