What a Cute Baby
Everyday that I spend with my baby I am beginning to love him more and more. He is super cute. I know now why all moms think there baby is the cutest baby ever.I know when hes hungry or when he needs a diaper changing. I am starting to learn all about him and what it means when he makes certain sounds or crys. I think hes starting to sleep better at night, He is awake alot more during the day now so that’s good because hopefully that means he will sleep better and longer in the night. I cant believe he is almost one month old already. Its true when they say baby’s grow fast.
Can I get some sleep?
I’m happy that my baby is here but wow didn’t know I would be feeling this tired and somewhat stressed out.I’m glad I can breastfeed him because its the one thing I know that puts him to sleep. Its still mostly boring cause all he does is eat and sleep. Cant wait til I smile at him and he actually smiles back. He is almost one month old. In three weeks he goes back to the Dr. to get his second shot. So as for now I’m stuck home still til he gets that shot and grows a little. Its ok though as long as this hot weather goes away.
My baby is here
Its been a while since I have updated my blog. I had my baby on 90210. Very cool and easy birthday to remember. It was pretty painful for sure. I think I
had a horrible labor. It wasn’t one to remember like most women do. I think they told me I was in labor pushing for 32 hours. but to me It only seemed like 24 hours or less. I got the epidural at 7 centimeters. The contraction pains are worse than you would imagine. Most people probably think they are in the stomach area but actually you feel them more in your butt, by your tail bone. So after pushing for so long and getting my water broke at 5 centimeters the baby would not come out so they rushed me into surgery for a c section. It was horrible. I wanted so bad for my baby’s father to be there but soon as they started cutting me I felt it so they had to put me out completely and kicked my baby’s dad out of the room.He said he was so worried the whole time. When I woke up, I didn’t even know what happened, I woke up thinking omg they put me out, so I didn’t even get to see my baby til way later in that day. I was so drugged up and out of it. It was awful. But now that I am home two weeks later. things are good and we are happy to be with our little baby boy. He is the sweetest thing ever. I love him so much.
We have a crawler!
Troy is barely eight months old. He has been scooting and pulling himself up to a sitting position but has not crawled. My husband was gone for three months on a job for work and the day he comes home…..Troy crawls. It was like he was saving 
it for Daddy. So cute! Both of my boys adore their daddy. While he was gone we often used skype to see and talk to each other so the boys (5 yrs old and 8 mos old) could see their daddy. I was wondering if my 8 month old would forget him or not know who he was when he came home. But that was not true! The moment he walked in the door….Troy’s little face lit up! It’s so amazing how resiliant little kids are. Luke just started kindergarden and my husband was here for his first day. Luke was so proud to have his daddy there. He couldn’t stop smiling that morning and I believe he had a great first day because his world was complete with his daddy there. My husband travels alot for work but the moment he walks in the door its all about his two boys. He scoops them up and showers them with hugs and kisses. Then the wrestling begins. It’s amazing to me how much boys really need that male bonding thing. I’m very blessed to have a husband that loves me and loves our boys.
Still Pregnant
Yes I’m still pregnant, How sad is that. I feel like I have been waiting years to see this baby. why doesn’t he want to come out now but at 25 weeks he wanted to come out. Well if anything its good to know the longest Id be waiting is only two more weeks. Not allowed to go past 42 weeks.
I went to my Dr. appointment today. I am still 3 centimeters dilated and that’s about it. I’m glad I had the guy doctor today too because it doesn’t hurt when he checks my dilation. I don’t know whats wrong with women doctors but they just seem to kill my stomach every time they check for dilation. But anyways I’m just tired alot and have heartburn all the time. Its not fun right now. This Friday I will be 40 weeks pregnant exactly so I am hoping he will be here by then. If not then I guess its another week or two.
39 weeks pregnant Today
OK so I am 39 weeks pregnant today and the baby is still not ready. I have my bags packed with no where to go. I am dreading nexts weeks Dr. appointment because I know shes going to check my dilation again and I have to go alone because My man has to work so there is no one to hold my hand while I pretty much die lol. I don’t know why but this last time after she checked my cervix I almost felt like passing out. It was not good.
So today I did the laundry and vacumed and I still feel fine. Yesterday walked around a bit a Target and a few other stores and still nothing is changing. I am really excited to meet my baby but now am also getting nervous of the pain to come. I am really wondering when he will decide its time to come on out.
38 weeks pregnant
I went to my appointment this week to see the doctor. She checked my cervix to see if I was dilated at all and she said I was 3 centimeters. I hate when they check because it hurts alot. I’m not sure if I believe her though because I saw a man doctor about a month or so ago and he checked me and said I was 0 when I was checked before at the hospital and they said I was 1 centimeter. So its hard to say. I kinda liked the guy doctor because he was like the head doctor of everyone and has been a doctor for a long time and seemed to know more than all the women doctors. But all I can do is wait and see what happens. The baby has been moving alot too and poking his feel out on my sides, you can see it and it looks really weird. I’m also having trouble sleeping and breathing while I sleep. Hope everything will turn out ok. After the doctor checked me, I had some bleeding and still do a bit so I’m kinda scared to really go anywhere. I am just going to stay in bed for now until I am ready to take a walk.
sick with two kids-no fun
So we just came back from a week in Utah visiting my husband who is working out there for 3 months. And now I have bronchitus. This is the fourth time being sick in the last 6 months! I had tonsilitus 3 times, back to back and now this. I have an appt to see my doctor and get some test done. I am still breastfeeding my 8 month old. So am I giving all my immunities to the baby and not have any for myself? I drink plenty of water, eat healthy and still take my prenatal vitamins! I did have surgery 3 weeks ago and had a cyst removed from my wrist but dont think that would lower my immune system. This is just weird. I hate being sick. I usually only get sick maybe once a year. I get a flu shot. What else am I not doing?
Baby Brain
Alot of people who have not been pregnant before or just don’t want to believe its true don’t know about a thing called ‘baby brain”. Its when you are pregnant and your brain gets lost and forgetful and you really do forget things easily and do things completely wrong.
Scientists have found that a woman’s brain actually shrinks during pregnancy and the brain cell volume actually decreases during the third trimester.But luckily it all comes back a few months after pregnancy. At least now they have found that the vitamin called choline helps bring back those memory cells. Most moms will get it from their prenatal vitamins but its not enough. You can get more of this vitamin by eating egg yolks,beef,milk,soybeans,citrus fruits,wheat germ and nuts.
It is also recommended to get lots of this vitamin even after pregnancy and especially if you are breastfeeding. So thats alot of vitamins to be taking when you are pregnant. Remember during the beginning of pregnancy to take lots of folic acid to help the baby’s development and then in the third trimester to take lots of choline for yours and your baby’s brain development.
Im going to be a Mom
Wow Juan and I are so happy we are about to be parents to a sweet little baby boy. We both wanted a boy too and its just such a miracle for us. One thing that tells me its a miracle and meant to be is the name we picked out for him means gods gift. And we didn’t even know it when we picked it. We found out the meaning afterward and its just so perfect. Our baby is gods gift to us.
We just cant wait to meet him. I spent all day yesterday cleaning, washing clothes and stuff around the house. Today I was bored though because yesterday I had done everything already. I wanted to take a walk today but it was just way too hot outside. I didn’t want to take a chance of me collapsing or something strange happening being by myself. Cant wait til this weekend because we will do some walking together and get to spend more time together since he works alot. When the baby comes too he gets to take a couple weeks off which is great. Well we have everything we need, just waiting for our little guy to make his big debu.
