A Small Moment.

Well I've cleaned the house, for the most part, and Ace is sleeping so I think I will blog for a little while unless he wakes up... So life is great :) I can't believe I have a son! I love him so much its crazy :) He always makes me smile, even when I have to wake up at 2 in the morning to feed him or change him. It is really weird not being pregnant anymore I was so used to it, Chris has replaced two transmissions(one in our Chevy, and one in a Pathfinder for Lynsie and Mason) but during that time I could actually go out there and see how their progress was going. I couldn't before because of the chemicals and stuff. I don't have any cravings anymore, which makes eating more difficult than before. Although I take that back I am addicted to banana cream pie!
So I've come to the conclusion that Ace absolutely loves to pee on us lol I don't mind though I'm kinda used to it but he warns me before he goes all out haha. Breastfeeding is definitely an art, it takes practice and once you got that down its still difficult when you have company and have to try and use a blanket to cover up, I haven't mastered that yet, I try and the other half the time I go to my room so I have privacy.
Wow so now that I get on here to blog my mind goes blank ha. Well I think I'm done for now, kinda short but oh well.

Baby Ace :)

Wow so guess what, I haven't blogged in a little while because I've been so busy taking care of my son :) That's right! I had him! April 4, 2011 at 6:36am. No drugs or anything, just an antibiotic through my arm for that Group B strep I didn't want to give Ace. He was 6lbs 12.6oz and 19 inches :) It was incredible! So to start off, my water broke up 2 in the morning and I just thought I literally peed myself haha, so no I called the doctor and they told me to come in its time to have a baby lol. At the hospital I had 4 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing and he was born! He is so precious! The hospital completely sucked though you can't get any sleep between taking care of the baby and finally getting to sleep and stupid nurses come and wake you up to check on you. I was completely happy to come home that's for darn sure!
Today I noticed Ace's circumcision looked like the plastic had fallen down onto his shaft too far so we brought him to the pediatrician last minute and they took it off, it looked like it hurt so bad and he was crying so hard, I almost cried :'(
He is sleeping it off now though, I think that's the reason he has been so fussy the past two nights is because it was painful, I hope he feels better now.
Holy crap one thing I have to say is the healing process after childbirth is worse then freaking labor! I always itch and wanna die lol my back hurt so bad after I got home and my uterus was so sore, I am starting to feel better but it still isn't fast enough for me haha I'm impatient. I don't want to wait 6 flipping weeks to be fully healed lol I am trying to stay on top of the game of getting sleep, keeping the house clean, eating to keep healthy and keep my breast milk good for Ace, and just being a mom.
So speaking of food, I think I'm going to go get something to eat before little man wakes up for his food :) I love him so much! Oh by the way, must say he has Chris's nose, hands, ears, and eyebrows. And he has my fingers, lips, feet :) He also opens his eyes every so often while sleeping then closes them just like Chris, and he twitches in his sleep like I do lol its so adorable and so is his smile OMG! :D Well for now, I'm going to retire this blog, its short but at least I'm taking a second to blog haha. :)

Today was such a nice day, it got up in the 70 degree mark today! So nice! I can't wait for summer :) It will be nice to wear shorts and a tank top again, and I will have my body back and a wonderful little man :D! I keep catching myself thinking and wondering when he is going to get here, I know what my body felt like when I started labor sunday night, i think it was sunday anyhow, so I am kind of looking to see if it starts feeling the same or not. I tried reading my horoscope to see if maybe there was a certain day that jumped out at me but nothing really so I guess I'm just going to have to wait and see haha. Chris starts his days off April 9th, so anytime after that we can wait for Mr. Ace :D He is going to replace the transmission in Lynsie and Mason's vehicle, it shouldn't take too long so that's good. Both Lynsie and I are on bed rest, she went into labor so they had to stop it, shes only 35 weeks or so I believe? Oh! So i made beef enchiladas last night! For making them for the first time I think I did pretty good :) I still think I like chicken enchiladas better though! So I'm gonna have to make like half and half batches lol or just two lol, I need more enchilada sauce :)
I am craving sushi so much right now! Well technically its not sushi because its cooked and only has crab in it lol, I love the Royal California Roll from Suehiro's! When we get more money I gotta go lol if Ace isn't here yet that is...
It is so difficult to stay on bed rest, I want so much to just get up and do something but I have to limit myself. That means sleeping in as late as possible then watching lots of tv, reading, coloring, texting, playing on the internet, pretty much anything I can do sitting or laying down. My back has been really sore but mostly up in my rib on the top right side, not my lower back yet so I'm not in labor lol.
Well I am going to finish this blog I don't know what to write about anymore lol, kinda short but oh well.

Ace Might Be Here Sooner Than Expected...

Well after a long night the other night I called my midwife and we decided to go to the hospital and make sure everything is ok. After being hooked up to the machine that monitors contractions and Ace's heartbeat they decided to check me. Upon doing that we found out I am 3cm dialated! I didn't have any contractions while being monitored at the hospital so they sent me home and said to be on light bed rest meaning I can get out of bed for short trips but mainly to keep my feet up. Its really difficult to stay in bed all day I feel like a bum lol. I had to get up a couple times but I took things easy. My contractions slowed down during today but they didn't stop, I'm waiting until tomorrow I have a doctors appointment and we will check everything again. I'm pretty sure I have dialated a little more I mean its not like the contractions completely stopped but then again I could be wrong. I have lost a pretty good amount of my muscus plug the past 2 days also, not sure how much there is in there though haha I've been loosing that since about 28 weeks. Ace has been pretty active today so that's a great sign! The only thing I'm concerned about is if he does come early I'm scared his lungs won't be fully matured but its only a small chance they aren't. One thing that's been pissing me off is my damn nipples itch like effing crazy! I don't understand it! Ahhh! I've also been able to go to the bathroom easily yesterday and today... Numba 2 lol so that's another sign labor could be close. I guess I will just have to wait until tomorrow and find out! Until then good night and those are the graphic details lol not really but still, ill try to blog a little more before he arrives but no promises :)

True Or False Labor?

So here I am again, on the blog, I wasn't going to but I can't sleep. So I'm currently trying to figure out if I'm in real labor or just false. I convinced myself it was just false but that was a couple hours ago ha. So contractions(braxton hicks) began at 5:50pm for each hour I had about 5 or 6. The last one I've had so far was at 11:54 and I don't think they're over but I have no idea. Anyways. Braxtons aren't suppose to be painful and contractions are.. Whatever mine are.. They aren't at all painful they're very tolerable I can eat, sleep, walk, and talk through them but I don't understand why they're going so long! I've tried sitting, standing, taking a bath, walking, and now laying in bed but they keep going. I'm waiting for the morning I'm getting up an hour before Chris has to work and if I still have them then no work but hospital... Part of me wants to have him soon but then I don't because we need Chris to go to work and bring home money, we are barely going to afford rent this month and still don't have a car seat yet, but I'm sure we'd get one if he comes. I can't sleep because I keep thinking! I still haven't packed my hospital bag yet either... I need to though, hey I started but I have to wash my select clothes in Dreft and pack stuff for Chris and Ace... Well speaking of which I'm going to throw those clothes in the wash incase we do have to leave in the morning, ill try to keep you posted as soon as possible!

Zombies... Fine Now But gonna Hate It Later...

So yesterday was a pretty good day, I had a home inspection which went well, then I just played around with the computers and stuff. After that Rose came over and picked me up so us and Hunter went and walked around the mall for a little while, then came back to my house, ate some lunch and watched Mulan. Then my mom sister and brother came over, they brought pizza and a movie :) Then Meni stayed the night, were watching Resident Evil: Afterlife right now.
But back to yesterday, Chris got off work around 5 and he called me :D I actually got to talk on the phone with him for more than 5 freaking minutes! That made my night so much happier! It was so amazing to be able to hear his voice and talk to him and tell him about my day :) I haven't actually talked to him for more then 5 minutes since he left so I was very happy! They were suppose to head back to Junction about 7 in the morning if the roads and passes were clear, but of course just my luck, they had 3 Chain Laws in effect over some passes, so after lots of tedious constantly checking to see when they were all lifted, they all finally were about 9 or so :) So his slow bosses finally realized it and they get to head out at noon, which is about 25 minutes from now :) I'm excited to see my babe! I'm jumping with joy inside :)
Today I am also 36 weeks pregnant! That means only 28 days to go, or 4 weeks until my due date! Little Ace is awake right now :) he is moving around and kicking me a little bit, its such an amazing feeling! I'm so stoked to meet him! I can't wait to see when he's going to be here and to see him for the first time and see Chris's expression :) I still haven't packed my hospital bag yet haha, I know I need to but I know that when I actually pack it that I am going to need something inside it so I'm gonna have to dig through it and pull everything out again lol All my friends are talking about how close they're getting and how to make themselves go into labor lol its very exciting, but I think I know what I will do to make myself go into labor.. I have to try all the ideas, that is if he doesn't come early haha. I think Ace is excited as I am to have daddy home, hes a hyper little booger in there!
So anyways back to today and the now... Me and Leanie Bean are watching Resident Evil: Afterlife, we watched the 3rd one earlier so now we have to watch the next one. Haha and I just realized something about this movie, when the big zombie dude breaks down the door and lets the zombies into the building, all the sudden all the entrances are open, now how does that happen? haha So I can handle these movies because I've seen them before but later tonight I'm going to freak out that's how it works with me lol...
Gahh I'm so excited! I can't wait for my babe to get home and for little Ace to get here! Well I'm gonna retire this blog but I'll blog later :)

Thankful.

Well here I am once again. I'm so sad I miss Chris so much! Only 2 days to get through then I can give him a big ass hug and never let go! I make it through the days so much easier then the nights, I didn't realize how much I notice his presence next to me until he's not there! I miss him so much :'( I haven't cried yet tonight but I feel some tears coming on... I already said goodnight over text but part of me always wants to send another text saying how much I love and miss him but I don't want to risk waking him up.
So I was tired enough to go to sleep but that didn't last too long. I'm wide awake now :( I might have to go make some tea and milk.. Amazing idea Rose gave me to mix them! I'm watching Netflix right now, Ted is too lol.
Tomorrow I have a home inspection, where our land lady gets to come and tell us if our house is clean enough ha! She will be here anytime between 9am-noon so I'm going to wake up to Chris's good morning txt before he heads to location then try and go back to sleep until 7 then get up and get ready. That is if I ever get to sleep ha. After the inspection I'm going to hang out with my cousin Rose :) idk what we're gonna do but we'll figure it out lol. After that Meni is coming over to hang out and spend the night and stuff until Chris gets home which should be saturday night he said.
Well my original reason for writing this blog was to say how thankful for everyone I have in my life I am. Big thanks to my mom she's always there for me through thick and thin, and she's always a shoulder to cry on when I'm sad. She always knows what to say to make me feel better and I just wouldn't be who I am if it weren't for her :) I love you mom! I'm also thankful for my little sis Melina, she's always so sweet and great company to have around even if all we do is watch tv haha. Love you sis! And I'm thankful for all my friends who offer to pick me up and hang out while Chris is away or even just to talk to me :) it really does help me get through the long week. I feel like I'm literally going insane sometimes when I just sit at home I feel trapped. Cleaning, playing online, texting, watching tv, it all gets so old! Ahh so thank you everyone who is there for me :)
Well I think I'm going to get out of bed, prego lady has to pee, make some tea, and hopefully try and get some sleep wish me luck. 2 days :)
