June 2010

Well June is almost over...Tomorrow is the last day of June and we have had a great month...We have had our wonderful little girl home all month and the boys absolutely love her...Tonight I am going to see Twilight: Eclipse...I am so excited...I have been waiting so long for this movie...Well that is about all.  I will post some pics sometime this week.  The Fourth of July is going to be great..the In-laws just got a new pool for their backyard...I am excited to be able to swim in it..  Pics later on.

Men know they are in trouble

So I was very upset with my hubby yesterday...he slept from 430 to 11 pm and then got up and watched some shows on the internet and went back to bed around 1am...just so he could get up at 5 to go to work...well I was mad because we have 3 children...and I take care of them ALL day and would love a little break or some help when he gets home from work....but I got over it and we talked about his sleeping habits...long story short...Today when he got home from work he brought me 2 Twilight posters...He said that he thought I deserved them...It made me very happy...I love it when he thinks of me when he is out and about....
I totally think that Men know that they were in a bunch of trouble the day before and bring gift home to make up for that thing...It is ok but I didn't even tell him I was mad in the first place...I lvoe that guy so darn much...even if he gets on my nerves from time to time...

XOXO  Love you Honey!

The Adventures of Breastfeeding...#1

Ok so I am breastfeeding my baby Lydia...and things are going very well...but I have learned that I have something called forceful let-down...This means that my mikl comes down the ducts very fast and can make my baby cough and choke on it...I have had to change a few things about how I am positioning her and how I pump...She has to be more upright and I have to try and not stimilate my breast too much while she she not feeding...This is not working...The milk just produces...I am like a cow...I am loving every minute of it...Yes it is complicated but I am getting the hang of it and Life is easier with out having to mix formula and wash all those darn bottles...I went to the WIC office today to get a breastpump from them and it is a manual one...Kind of strange to me...I am not sure if I like it all that much...The lady told me to just pump inbetween Lydia feeding..so if she nurses every 3 hours then I have to pump every 1.5 hours.  Kind of seems like that will make me have even MORE milk...isn't the idea to get it on a schedule and that way I can freeze some milk for times I am not with her and then I can nurse her when she is with me...which is most of the time...But hey I deserve a break too....And I have no idea how to make it so I can have a Margarita...Cuz I really really want one...I am thinking I will make sure I have plenty of milk in the freezer and then have a drink and pump my breasts for that day after...I just don't know how long the alochol is in the milk..I guess more research is needed...Well anyway the point of this post.  An update...I was getting ready to take a shower and looked into the mirror as I walked past it to get into the shower...And I saw BLUE lines all over my chest....I mean all my veins were very visible and I could trace them if I wanted to...It was CRAZY!  I did not take a picture because that would be weird...But there is nothing like breastfeeding and then seeing crazy veins in your breasts...It kind of freaked me out...
I figure that is JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE ADVENTURES OF BREASTFEEDING!

WOW

Alright I have not been updating this thing like I should be...but I have been a little busy with a new baby and 2 other children.  Also housework, shopping and just everyday life with children. 

So first off last time I updated I said I was going to be 37 weeks on Sunday and go to the Doctor on Tuesday.  Well I went to the doctor on Tuesday and my heart rate was 140 so my doctor sent me straight to the hospital for some fluids and tests...I ended up staying over night and was contracting slightly all night...but not enough to keep me there...So as the doctor was headed to discharge me I decided to do some squats and running in place.  then relaxed and felt some wetness down there...so I had my favorite Nurse check to see if it was amniotic fluid or just discharge.  And Guess what it was Amniotic fluid so they started the pitocin.

  You don't need to know the rest of the story...so Lydia Gwen was born at 9:18 pm on May 26, 2010...

       weighing 6 lbs 9 oz and measuring 20 inches long.

On to the boys.  Adam is getting super big and enjoying having a little sister.  He is also being a big help with everything.  He helps me with Kyle and helps me clean up the house.  He does pick on Kyle sometimes but that is normal for kids.  so Life with him is going good.

Not sure what this face is about but he was so happy this day.  June 2nd

Kyle is 2 and such a little butt...he is totally in the terrible 2 stage...he wants everything his way and no other way.  He also learned how to climb out of his crib and I decided to have him sleep in his toddler bed but he hates going to sleep in it...he likes the fact that he can get out when ever HE wants...So I am up late with him but I love him.

Bath time is great fun!  Kyle loves to play with this bottle just to pour it on his head...hey anything to get his hair wet.

So that is what is going on in my life...Cleaning, Cooking, and Kids...it is great...it makes me tired but I am dealing with it one day at a time...Well that is it for now...I am hoping to post more often...now and keep people up to date with my life...this is an easy way for everyone to know how things are going in my life.

Love you all!

The Wonders of Life...

Well time for an update...I am going to try and add a post at least once a week...not sure if it will happen but I think I can handle it...Just need to get into a schedule and with a baby coming I think I can do that...So things have been going pretty good....For a long time I was stressed about how to pay the bills and how we were going to pay for the new little one that is one the way...Well Jaymes got a job about 2 weeks ago and this week he will get is first full paycheck...I am excited that we are able to pay our own bills and not buy the extra things that we need...Diapers are going to be something that we buy a lot of...I hope to get Little Kyle potty trained sometime soon...then no more diapers for him...

So the pregnancy thing is sucking right now...I am uncomfortable all the time and there is just so much pressure on my abdomen...Walking towards the end of the day is a challenge...also getting out of bed is hard to do as well...I will be 37 weeks on Sunday and my next doctor appointment is on Tuesday..so we will see what he says...June is right around the corner but it it getting harder and harder to do things these days...

My children are such nuts that it seems like they have new ideas and different views on life everyday...I am loving it but sometimes it is hard to take care of them and be pregnant...I am very excited to have this baby and just have to worry about taking care of the kids and less on how crappy I feel...

So life has been good lately...school is done and now it is time to enjoy the down time until school begins again....I will def post when baby comes and it will be great to have her here...Well that is it...Life is good and baby is coming soon...

STRESS

So toady started out a good day....now it has all gone to SHIT!   Jaymes got the phone call we have been waiting a week for and of course bad news once again!   Still not JOI can;t get B...I hate this...We are almost out of money...like we have $100..to our name and stuff that needs to be bought...we will soon be completely out of money and have no freaking way to buy anything we need other than food...that is great but we will need things that food stamps can't buy...Diapers, laundry soap, garbabge bags, shampoo, conditioner, soap, everything that we all need to live.  and if we don't get a job soon we will not have water, phone, cable, or internet.  I hate this...it makes me feel useless..I can't do anything...I can't get a job...no one will hire me...I am 33.5 weeks pregnant...right now my stress level is probably a 12 out of 10 and that is not good...I am sure my blood pressure is high right now too...I am just freaking out...WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GONNA DO???????  We can't rely on other people to pay our bills...I just don't know what to do anymore...All I can do is try to keep calm and not cry over this but man this really sucks...I just want to go somewhere where I can punch something and scream!   All I can do is clean the house and pretend nothing is wrong...just keep up what I am doing and keep the signs of stress inside...What else can I do?  I hate money, I hate that there are no Damn jobs, and I hate that it just seems like I am the only one that cares or is stressed by this...Well that is it...I am still stressed but at least I know what I am stressed about...FUCK SHIT FUCK!   AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!    WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GONNA DO???

Busy times

Well for the next 4 weeks things are pretty busy...it is nice to have things to do to keep my mind off the fact that I only have 7 weeks until baby Lydia is due...

Yesterday we had a Lia Sophia party at my house and Glady has decided to sell Lia Sophia...then tomorrow is Kyle's birthday party.  Hius actual birthday is on Wednesday the 28th...Then on Saturday May 1st..a baby shower for me and Evelyn in Las Vegas...The next week it Jaymes's birthday and Mother's Day...then a baby shower for me on the 15th..at my house...Finally I have one last party on the 22nd for a pampered chef party at a friends house....Oh yea and a dr appointment for Kyle in Vegas May 24th and a breastfeeding class on May 25th...In between all this there are finals for school and registering Jaymes for his classes...WOW WOW WOW....Everything just bunched up in the same month...but it is good because it will make time go by faster...

Jaymes has a new/old friend that has been hang out with him lately but it is kind of annoying because this friend has no kids and thinks Jaymes can do things whenever he wants...That is very much not he case...We need to have a more advance notice of doing things than normal people because we have to work around the family schedule...and right now things are pretty busy...It is great he has a friend I just wish that friend would realize that we have a family and family comes first.

Ok I am done..just needed to write everything down and than is great to have it all out so I can see what is going on..
