Sucked dry

Tue, 18 Sep 2007 18:38:31 GMT

Saide is apparently sucking any and all party planning skills I have. I have no desire to do stuff that any other time I would be ALL over. I dont know whats worng with me. I just keep thinking of the day of the party and I will be HUGE and literally ready to pop. Im so tired already and my feet are so swollen I just cant imagine.

Then I start freaking out if it will be cold and rainy...ugh.

Lily is inisisting on a mermai jumphouse this year so that will be an activity I dont hav to plan. I think with that and the pinata I will do one other game/activity and thats its.

I have gone to make an order on Oriental Trading four different times and havent done it because I am second guessing myself. There is basically 7 weeks until her party and I feel screwed.

YEA for me!!!

Thu, 21 Sep 2006 19:38:52 GMT

OK so I started working out/dieting when Nolan was 7 weeks old so roughly for the last 2 1/2-3 months I have been at it. I have lost a total of 33.5 lbs and I didnt think it was that much of a difference but I can really see it in these pics. :D

YEA FOR ME!

Here he is....what do yall think? Mysister and Chris think I would make a killing on EBay making/selling them.. I still need to add the pink fleece to the inner ear but I forgot to buy some

In the excersaucer for the very 1st time. Lily played with the toys more than him. She acted like she has never seen the thing even though she spent many a hours in it when she was his age. lol

She insisted he wear the hat..

Im surprised he doesnt have a chapped face after all the kisses she gives him everyday

Then I got this look when I decided that Nolan needed to be fed and put down for a nap

I dont know if I have ever told you guys but Lilys favorit food is corn on the cob. She isnt to fond of it out a can but will eat and eat and eat the stuff of the ears. Seriously, she eats at LEAST 5-6 ears at one sitting. I told Chris she will make me tons of money at carnivals in their eating contests. : )

Tummy time

He loves his bath!!

And the famous Atari cake! : ) We wont even discuss how long it took me to make the freakin joy stick of of cake..

horns?

Thu, 25 May 2006 21:32:50 GMT

No not the Longhorns...LOL

I was reading in the BFing thread and they mentioned that if it is uncomfy when you pump and you dont get a whole lot even though theres milk when you hand express that maybe the horns are too small?

So where do you girls think I can ind some bigger horns for my pump? I have a Medela Double Select.

Lilys big girl bed

Mon, 27 Mar 2006 14:36:09 GMT

This was her very first night sleeping. The child HATES being covered up...hot blooded like her daddy I guess.

I think she was sick in these:

And THIS is how she sleeps 90% of the time now. It drives me batty because I always think she will stop breathing but a las every single time I move it off her she wakes up and freaks out. I took this picture because I think its so cute how she takes her "friends" under there with her to sleep. lol

Fa la la la

Thu, 01 Dec 2005 22:15:31 GMT

Did some Christmas shopping today for about ummm..an hour and a half. LOL I LOVE going to the mall durning the week in the middle of the day because no one is there. Even Santa was sitting there lonely and slumped over in his thrown. LOL

I find that I dont get to take the 4 hour naps durning the day like I used to when I was pregnant with Lily. I didnt think I was as tired as I was the first time around but come 4pm I am beat and yawning and COMPLETELY ready for bed. This proves to be very annoying when Christmas is around the corner and I have major shopping to do.

Lily woke up in a major fowl mood this morning which is sooo not her. She has always been a great sleeper and usually sleeps from 8pm-8am. Well last night for some reason she could not get to sleep although she tried so hard to. Poor baby. She finally went to sleep after I went into the check on her a midnight. She didnt even want out of her crib she would just lay there and be quiet for 30 min and then I would hear her playing with her aquarium or toys. She fussed a little but no crying. Maybe her molars are coming in? It would be a miracle if she would let me look back there so I guess I will just wait it out. I thought she was woke up in abad mood because she is a girl who needs her sleep. So she is napping right now and hopefully will continue for another couple of hours.

Today is my dads birthday.52 years old. Kinda scary because on Dec. 8 he had a heart attack last year(when Lily was in the NICU) remember? It was to say the least a crappy time in my families world. We have a lot to be thankful for this year..BOTH my dad and Lily being healthy and alive and a new little one on the way.
We are going to Papadeaux to eat tonight and I dont think I will eat much because I fell so HORRIBLE when I eat a nice exspencive meal and puke it 30 min later. Sounds silly to me. Maybe I will sneak in Whataburger...

Must go hunt for something to wear.

Amie- Did you find any good sweaters/shirts at Old Navy? I need some cute Maternity stuff!!

Wed, 30 Nov 2005 16:02:50 GMT

I am so damn emotional and I will say it myself...downright BITCHY with this pregnancy. I think(and everyone else agress) that I was only like this in the end with Lily because I am SO NOT a bed rest kinda person. In my defence Im not like this ALL the time but I do have my moments throughout the day. I do feel bad, I really really do.

Do you wanna know why though? Because I am SO FREAKIN TIRED of puking. Seriously! I puke anywhere from 2-6 times a day for the last 16 weeks and its getting old. There is no end in sight and forgive that that it put its me in a bad mood when I eat a nice lunch and 6 min. later I am hacking it into the toilet. THEN I puke and 8 out of 10 times I get a headache from it. Sucktity suck!

So if I have ever been mean or short with any of you girls I am apologizing...this also includes ny and all times in the next 4-5 months if I say anything.

Maybe I should wear a sign around town..

I am 4 months pregnant
I puke all.day.
I also have a one year old
Please forgive me if I am slightly bitchy

LOL ; )

All you girls that know Austin..

Wed, 01 Jun 2005 14:38:53 GMT

Last night I got a phone call and my Aunt and Uncle who live across the lake from Oasis said that IT WAS ON FIRE!!! I just couldnt believe it! I was suppoused to have my wedding reception there until I changed my mind 9 weeks out. ALL 40 of their decks have burned down. No one was injured but the fire department is still out there this morning. They arent sure of the cause but they think it might have been a lightening strike!! I feel so bad for all the kids that use that as a summer job and the owner(who I know is rich in his own right) is still going to loose MUCHO money from them being closed down to re-build the decks/ Sooo sad!: (

Amie, I will get together the pics of my maternity clothes and let you get first dibs on them before EBay.

Thu, 19 May 2005 15:10:49 GMT

Would someone please explain to me how to get a pic down to the right size to upload onto LJ for my avatar? I cant for the life of me figure it out.

ATTN Amie.....

Thu, 07 Apr 2005 02:02:20 GMT

Lily and I sat down and read the whole rosary for you tonight (a couple of times actually). It was almost like she knew what we were praying for because when I finished one rosary and made my penition (prayer for you) she all of a sudden laughed and cooed, I mean really LAUGHED hard...This was the very FIRST time she ever laughed like that. We then lit a candle for you and Andy and I laid her down to go to sleep.

I lit the same candle I used to lite when she was in the NICU. It got us through some rough times and I know it will get you through them also. I will leave it lit until I see your post after you get back tomorrow. I know this might seem silly but everytime I lit this paticular candle we would get good news about Lily so I am hoping it does the same for you.

I truly hope that tomorrow you get a great beta result and they fix your progest. problem. I hope that this story makes you more at peace.....everything is going to be alright...my little girl said so. : )

((((((((HUGS from Lily and I))))))))))

Pics of Lily

Wed, 30 Mar 2005 17:49:10 GMT

Thought I would let everyone know that I posted a ton of ppics of Lily in my WC journal if yall want to see her lately.

Sandy- I think it is my browser because when I signed onto AOL it let me post the pics...do you know how I can change things with my DSL?

Please Help me!

Tue, 29 Mar 2005 05:06:36 GMT

OK, so we just got Yahoo DSL ( I know a little behind the times) and I cant right click anymore and get properties to post pictures on the WC or anywhere for that matter. I dont know what to do!!!?!? Does anyone have Yahoo DSL and can help me to post pictures. Even when I right click on a random pic on the internet it doesnt show up a properties choice. All it has is: Cut, Copy, Paste ETC. ETC.

I tried calling Yahoo but the guy couldnt understand my question and I could barely understand him for that matter.....so I just hung up. I am ready to turn DSL off and go back to AOL if I cant figure it out.

Help!

Thank God for the Kangaroo Fleece pouch!

Wed, 02 Mar 2005 19:55:27 GMT

A certain little girl is in it as we speak and I have both hands to type. This thing is worth every single penny! Its like magic the second I drop her down in it she just goes into a daze and just looks around and slowly drifts off to sleep. I am going to be sad when summer comes and I am afraid it will be to hot for me to to her around in it. I am *thinking* about the cotton adjustable pouch but they say there not much stretch and not as comfy. I do love my fleece one though and eveyr where we go in it I get tons of compliments and people ask where I got it from. I never thought I would wear my children but this sling isnt so "fabricy" KWIM?

Anyhow, The ILS came over last night and it was interesting to say the least. This was there 4th time seeing her since she was born and I am cant stand the people any longer. I wasnt very warm to them and I am sure it was noticable. Not to mention that they still have never held her and when asked to wash her hands last night to do so, she told DH that she didnt think she needed too and DH told her that she wasnt holding the baby until she did. Well she never did....ah well...the are such freaks! You should have seen the look on her face when she asked how my parents were with Lily and I told her that they were VERY comfotable with her because THEY visited her everyday in NICU. She jumped to tell me that they had been sick...and I preceeded to say how weird that they were sick for 31/2 STRAIGHT MONTHS!!

UGH! What a bitch!

We havent done much today since it has been rainy here pretty much non stop. We are going to the mall tonight with my mom because DH and my dad are working late.

OK off to scope out some websites for fabrics. Be back later.

SHE'S HOME!!!!!!!!!!

Mon, 28 Feb 2005 04:47:57 GMT

Sorry I havent beem on much in the last couple of weeks but.....

SHE'S HOME FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lily came home on Tuesday last week. She was still loosing a little weight every night but the doctors think I was the best one to feed her. The did anoth upper GI and she has severe reflux. She came home on about 8 different meds. We already wen to the doctors on Friday and she had gained an ounce!!!!! I was so proud of her and me for gaining weight!!! She is now 8lb 15oz.

We have a in home health nurse come here to the house and weigh her every other day but other than that she is doing really really well. We see her pedi and her GI doctor every week and everyone is happy witht he progress she has made. I am sooo spoiled! She sleeps at least 8-9 hours a night and I only get up once to feed her arond 3:30am. I am getting more sleep with her being home than I was with her being at the hospital.

It feels so surreal to be home and have her with me every minute. God I love this little girl. She smiles at me ALL the time and she "talks" back to me when I coo at her. Shes soooo much fun!!! All of our family and friends are so excited for us and we plan to throw a huge party for her home coming very soon!

I was bitter sweet to leave the NICU. I cried, the nurses cried....everyone cried. I am actually going back up there tomorrow to visit a couple of the nurses I became really good friends with. One in paticular really misses Lily so I am going to go take her for a visit.

We went to BRU today and go her first pictures taken and they turned out sooooo great! Of course we got the "How old is she?" <3 1/2 months.> "WOW, shes soooo tiny!" :rolleyes: I know they mean well and i is surprising to see a 3 1/2 month old weight 8 1/ lbs but I know shes not the first preemie ever. LOL

I would post her pics here but i dont know how to so I will have to post them over on WC and yall can look at them there.

Thank you everyone for all of your prayers and suppourt these last m3 months. It meant the world to me!!

I dont know whats wrong with WC so I am posting it here and if any of you feel like posting it in my journal please feel free. I want to post pics but I dont know how with LJ. Maybe I can post my password to the pics and yall can post them over in WC. Hope all of you are doing well.

::::::Well, I wish I could come back here with better news. Its been a really long week for Lily,Chris and I. Its a really long story so I will try and minamize everything.

Lily was born on November 20,2004 at 8:13pm. She weighed 4lb. 2oz

Last Thursday I went in for my doctors appointment and my BP was 140/90 so Dr. Garza wanted me to check into the hospital for 24 hour observation. He said that everything would be fine and that at worst I would be released and have to be on strict bed rest and have a nurse do in home care. Well, unfortuately I never went home from there.

Thurday night they had to start me on Magnesium to keep me from seizing. Then about 8:30pm they decided I was just getting worse and needed to induce. I labored for 48 hours and only dialated to 2cm and 50% efaced after tons of meds. They tried everything from cervadil,pitocin, and trying to inflate
a catheder in my cervix. All through this I didnt have any pain medication. At one point I was contracting every 1 min. It was horrible!!! I begged them to give me a c-section and they wanted to wait. On Saturday night my BP got to 179/125 and they rushed my bed down the hall for an emergency c-section.

They gave me my spinal and Chris came into the room. Lily was born about 10 min. later. I only got to see her for about 5 seconds and then she was taken to the NICU.

After delivery I spiked a temp of 104 degrees so I had gotten an infection. They kept me on the Magensium until Tuesday. I didnt even get to see Lily until 24 hours later when they made a special exception and brought her down in an incubator so I could see her and touch her. I only got about 10 minuets until she had to go back up to the NICU. On Tuesday they finally took me off the Mag and I was starting to feel better so they moved me up to the floor the NICU was on and I actually held her for the first time. It was the best moment of this whole ordeal. When she was put in my arms my heart just broke. I have never loved another human being like this. Its different from even my love for Chris. Its so true what they say about Mothers love. Its so amazing. I would give my life for her.

Just when things were starting to feel ok hey called my room and told me that she was going to need to be transfered for pre-cautionary reasons to the main Seaton hospital because they have a level 3 NICU. It was so hard to go see her and watch her be transported. My mom had to help me walk away I was crying so hard.

I was finally discharged yesterday and even though Im not moving really well and still feel like crap from all of the meds they have me on we went to visit her yesterday and shes doing ok. They think she has either a virus or infection so shes not eating which means she has to be fed through IV. The doctor thinks it might be an infection of her bowels so she will be on antibotics and be fed through the IV for 10 days and then they will try and feed her through a tube and bottle.

She doesnt have any defects and has never had to be put on oxygen so we consider ourselves blessed. She will be in the NICU at least for anothr 3 weeks so I am just praying she will be home for Christmas.

Chris and I are doing alright considering everything. We appreciate any prayers and thoughts for our family. I miss you girls and hopefully I will get a computer back in the next couple of days and be able to update on Lily frequently.

I have some pics I will upload and post in a bit.

I hope everyone is having a Happy Thanksgiving!

Palm Pilot

Mon, 28 Jun 2004 21:47:43 GMT

Hey ladies, I had a question. My dad is now being promoted to Cheif of Police and his swaring-in is on Thursday. I was wanting to buy him a Palm Pilot to keep track of all his meetings but I dont know a darn thing about them. Any help on which one is good or what to look for in one would be great! Thanks! : )
