Okay.....NOW!!!! (Baby Stats)

Had a Doctor's appointment today. Still no change! I am still 5 cm dilated and 70% effaced and technically have been in labor for the past 7 days (and counting...). I feel like I want to DIE!!! I am still getting contractions (can you say "useless"?) all day long. Every once in a while they start coming 3 minutes apart and are accompanied with back labor and will last for hours. (It lasted for 5 last night!) I've decided that I'm not going into Triage anymore, because they will somehow stop everything and send me home again. I plan being pregnant forever because my body is retarded.


Baby Stats:

Weighs 8lbs!
Already weighs 8lbs!

Did I mention that she is HUGE and weighs 8lbs?!

Going into Labor Take 2

Yesterday we were back at the Hospital in Triage. I started getting really bad contractions again that where 5 minutes apart earlier in the morning. So we went in and they checked me and I was at 5 cm now. After an hour they checked me again, no change. The contractions started going to 3 minutes apart and I start having back labor (yay!). Two hours later they check me, STILL NO CHANGE and CONTRACTIONS ARE STILL 3 MINUTES APART!!! I get hooked up to an IV and told to wait some more. Because I am only 36 weeks, I don't get to have any medicine to help speed up labor. I ended up staying in Triage for 7 hours with back labor and contractions 3 minutes apart. After going through 2 bags of whatever I was hooked up to, the contractions finally spaced apart to about 8 minutes. Finally my Doctor said that I could stay in the hospital drugged up till I make progress (which will be never) or go home drugged up and wait it out. I decided to go home. They gave me 2 Lortabs and an Ambein.

And yes, I was completely messed up for the night...

I am in labor right now, I have been in labor for the past 5 days, but nothing is happening. I am still having contractions that are 8 minutes apart. I wish that my body would figure this whole thing out because I am miserable. I really don't want to be like this for the next 2 weeks. I will be induced by January 10th if nothing happens.

I hate this...

Almost had a baby....

I almost had our baby last night. I have been getting really hard contractions for the past two days and decided to go in last night to get checked out. Turns out I am already dilated to 4 cm and 70% effaced. But the Doctor on call was really worried at I am only 36 weeks so he decided to stop me from going in to labor. I'm so annoyed! I could of had a baby in my arms right now! They stopped the contractions by hooking me up to an IV of something and giving me a shot of Terbutaline to stop the preterm labor. As soon as I got the shot, my body started shaking uncontrollably and I started freezing. About an hour later the contractions were really spaced apart and I was sent home. I am still kinda jittery and I have started to get contractions again today. So we will see what happens. I just don't want to have to go in again and have them stop the labor again.

Bring home the Bacon.... Please?!

With each pregnancy I will have one craving and it will last the entire 9 months. I become fixated with it and have to have it. It really makes me go crazy!!! With Reese I had to have Nacho Cheese Chalupas from Taco Bell. With Ashlee it was DiGornio's Supreme Frozen Pizza. And with Kailyn all I wanted to eat was V8 juice and oranges. Well with this baby all I want is ...

BACON!!!!

Isn't that gross?! But I want so bad and I'm not letting myself eat it because it isn't the most healthiest thing to eat in the world. Every once and a while it's OK, but I want it everyday!! I really could just eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner EVERYDAY! And it can't be that crap Turkey Bacon either, it has to be the real stuff! Every once in awhile Brian will pick it up at the Butcher's near his work and I am in HEAVEN!!!!! It's so good!!!!

I really need to get that candle that smells like Bacon... maybe that will take care of my craving for it. Or it just might make it worse!!

Oh I want this pregnancy to be done!!! I can't handle this craziness anymore!!!!!

I am the Walrus... (Baby Update 35wks)

This is me at 35 weeks... I feel HUGE!!!


The baby has just recently dropped, which makes walking and sitting kinda painful. She is weighing in close to a whopping 7 lbs right now. Everything is still the same, nothing has really changed. Just that the baby is even bigger and my contractions are stronger and last all day long now. I am still considered High Risk because of her ENORMOUS size right now. I am really hoping that I will have her within the next two weeks. I am so done with this pregnancy!!

Santa Pictures Over the Years...

Getting a Picture with Santa has seriously become a joke in our family. Usually one kid (or more) is doing something to ruin the picture. But we still do it every year and take bets on what child is going to screw it up. This year, all I want is happy smiling children! No crying! No angry faces! I just want a nice Santa Picture!


2004

This is Reese at just about 2 years old. We waited in line FOREVER! Santa actually tried to hold her, but she had a huge fit so Brian had to sit with her. As you can tell we don't have a 2003 picture...

2005

I think that this one is my favorite! Ashlee is so happy and Reese did a very good job at keeping herself together!
Reese almost 3, Ashlee 8 mo
