Jesus H on a pogo stick.

We got called in for 7AM.

10AM I get a Barbie Tampon inserted (cervidil)

Mild cramping, nothing bad until about 2PM when normal contractions start. Not interested in feeling these anymore, order me an epidural!

holy effin crap? Never occurred to me that getting an epidural hurts! Immediately after epi have a reaction.....I am cold but sweating, shaking violently AND I AM ABOUT TO BOOT...they give me nausea meds.

*poot*

I pooted for the first time in front of DH *dies* I cant feel MY ANUS!?

10PM Break Water (effin ouch)

10:10PM Pitocin (OUCH)

More EPI PULEEZ

*snore*

8:30 I feel like I need to sh*t a bowling ball!

Can I haz more epi?

No!

*mwuhahahahha crank the pit to 9!*

*Cries*
9PM 10CMs! Push'em out Shove'em out! WAY OUT!
For an HOUR
10-10:30 I totes lose my sh*t (and my focal point; Wingearsheek Beach) I become that pregnant woman, screaming, crying "I can't do this".......then I start to hyperventilate. Basically I this point I am scream pushing involuntarily because your body just does it on its own. (I don't recommend)
Dr comes in and check status
STATUS IS
None.
SHUT UP!
Dr. - Would you like to push more
Seriously?
They roll screaming pushing me down to the OR.
Can you just imagine seeing something like that while checking into L&R?
I get spinal.
*slice*
I JUST FELT THAT
knocked out
this is where I am left under for three hours because they forgot to do their tool count and needed to xray me, you know, to make sure they didn't leave any INSIDE OF MYSELF!
2pm *blink* *blink* *blink* sees DH feeding Madeline. I cry and apologize for failing...and for missing the first three hours of her life.
But none of it matters now. My husband is the happiest I have ever seen him and my heart might explode. She's Made the fist few days easy for me! She barely cries, latched w/no issue and would sleep in 4hrs at a time if I let her.
After C the Dr. said that she was coming out face first when I was pushing, I never could have got her out.





Right after i woke up after C, don't judge.

So, it's been pretty easy! The hardest part is all the GD eating and accepting that it was not my fault. Eating every two hours and before bed is a little rough but I have been getting through it. I visited the nutritionist and she reviewed my current diet and said it was almost perfect. I had to switch around a few things and eliminate some others; make sure I pair a protein w/my fruit snack, quit the juice and occasional pop....oh and quit that nightly ice cream habit. I also discoverd Dreamfields Pasta, which is outstanding. The positive? I won't be allowed to go over my due date!

I joined Jazzercise again, it has been good for me and fun. In the heat, I have had a hard time going for long walks and w/all the mosquitoes it just sucks. It helps relax me as well, not that I get stressed but I am just so impatient, excitable and anxious about everything that is going on.

and the bad. My Step Father had a stroke four weeks ago, then got pneumonia and then got a staff infection. He spent three weeks in the ICU and last weekend was transferred to an ICU rehab. He is getting "better". My mother does not think he will ever regain mobility in his left side and I am not quite sure what that means. He is being weaned off his tubes and I hope this will allow him to talk soon since he is having a hard time communicating his needs. I can't even imagine how unbelievably frustrating that must be for him. I am trying hard to be a good daughter, I know how self involved I can be, it is not purposeful. I just get so focused on life and forget others around me. Certainly not my best trait.

Lastly, the nursery is coming along! K! and her bf are re-finishing some dressers for me so they match the crib. And my girl E! gave me all her baby stuff and it's like a massive baby starter kit that has taken up my whole basement. I filled my registry w/bottles, diapers, onsies and toys!

10 weeks left!

Okay. I bought six (well maybe 7, one for me) of these fairies (Etsy) to make a mobile but...I think they are too small and I was given a lovely HABA Mobile. So I am going to paint a mural on canvas for above the crib and incorporate the fairies onto the canvas.

Which concept do you like better? (please excuse my rough sketches!)

Flower mural



Tree mural

Quick Summer-y

The summer started Memorial Day w/a trip to KY to meet my niece Harper, it was a fabulous trip. I adore my SIL, BIL and Kentucky, I was sad to go.

Then we had a long weekend to celebrate a dear friend getting married up in lake winnipesaukee we stayed at a beautiful BB in Wolfeboro, NH. The wedding was perfect, the spot was gorgeous and the weather held for her. And this is the weekend I started to REALLY look pregnant.

Then we went up to Mid Coast ME for the 4th. Very nice! My IL's are retiring up there and his Dad built a beautiful house near Thomaston. We went to the parade, ate lobster, fried seafood and(I)had lots of dairy creamies. Not sure if life gets better!

Next we are heading to the Cape! One day left of work and we are off for ten days.

Back in April, I got semi-laid off; I went from 40 to 24 hours. I thought it was temporary, however; note the date.

But as my Husband keeps whispering....maybe it's a good thing. Take time for me, relax, bake the baby. It is a good thing. Over the spring I gardened, met with some Mom groups and planned the nursery (faeries, of course).

My biggest obstacle has been not to over eat, especially since I am coming home at my peak OMG I WANT EAT THIS CAR AND YOU! time. I am absolutely astonished that at SIX months pregnant, I have not once stopped at Mcd's, Wendys or BK (all three are on the way home, taunting me w/their frosty and FF promises of deliciousness). I am up about fifteen pounds.........................and counting.

(Note that I have left out any mention of DD)

Now I have taken up sewing. Enter exhibits A and B. I made these for my 6MO niece Harper.
