From my myspace

I am going to delete my myspace I have a few blogs that I had wrote on there that I really want to keep and remember. From the time that I found out I was pregnant till Kohen was a year old.

My little boy Just an update on my baby... I can't believe that my baby is ONE! Everyone always told me that it goes by so fast and you don't really understand until you have your own child. This time last year I was worried about how much he ate, how much he peed and pooped and what the poop looked like, checking on him every 5 minutes while he slept. I still worry about him all the time just about different things. He babbles so much he can say mama, dada and knows the difference, up, hey, all done, babel(we thinks it's for bagle). He claps, and waves when he want's to. Cruising around furnature but not walking alone. Will stand alone for a few seconds. and so much more. We had his Dr. appointment today he is 21.8 pounds 25th percentile, 30 inches 50th percentile, and his head is 18 3/4 inches and is in the 75th percentile. He's doing very well!

Happy 6 Months to Kohen Current mood: calm I can't believe that he is 6 months old in 6 more months he will be a year old time goes by so darn fast. We had his 6 month check up today and he is doing great. He is now 18.2 pounds and is 28inches long. He is in the 75th to 90th percentiles. He's right on track for milestones. He's sitting up really well he can sit for about 5 mins at a time if not longer.He tries really hard to pull himself up while laying down. He can roll over from back to tummy and tummy to back but can't figure out how to roll to his left. He is starting to scoot around and he moves in circles. We havent started baby food yet but I will probably start somtime this week since the Dr has given us the ok to do so. We will start with the yummy green stuff first. We are all doing great and he is such a happy baby.

4 Months Just got back from his doctors appt. He is now 16 pounds, 26 1/2 inches, He is in the 90th percentile for his height 75th for weight and 50th for head. He is well portioned. He is right on track for everything. He holds his head up well, very strong legs. He talks all the time. He has started playing with his toys, he will actually grap on to them and swing them around and smile at them. It's so cute to watch him. He lights up when he sees mommy or daddy. He is just such a joy. I love him more than anything in the world. I get a kick out of watching him and seeing the world thru his eyes.

3 months already Current mood: quiet I can't belive it's been 3 months since I have had my little man. It's gone by so fast, I'm loving every minute of it though. It's an incredible feeling being a mom. It's a love I can not express. It's so much more different than my love for anyone else. Just watching him every day and seeing him smile and talk to me when he sees me walk into a room is amazing. I look foward to each and every day now. He is my amazing little boy.

My baby has bronchiolitis Current mood: sick So I took Kohen to the doctors today and he has bronchiolitis and an eye infection. He has to have breathing treatments for awhile and eye drops. It really sucks having a sick baby. There's nothing I can do for him and he just seams so sad it just breaks my heart to see him sick. Bronchiolitis is the infant form of bronchitis.

We’re Sick Current mood: sick It's bad enough being sick but having your baby sick right along with you just darn right sucks really bad. I know I feel like crap so I can only imagine how he is feeling. We have stuffy runny noses, itchy watery eyes. He has a little bit of a caugh. This really sucks. It worries me and all I can do is just stare at him and make sure that he is ok and breathing and what not. It makes your heart break when you see your little one sick espically since he is only 8 weeks old. I'm not ready to have a sick baby. I wish I could take it all alway, and he is still a little sore from his shots that he just had two days ago. So I have one unhappy little one on my hands although he is doing pretty well with it.

December 10, 2007 - Monday

Shots Kohen had his 2 month check up today. I can't believe it, it doesnt seam that long ago yet. He has gained almost 4 pounds he is right at 13lbs and he is 23 3/4 inches. He is a growin boy. The Dr. said that he is doing wonderful and is in the 75th - 90th percentile. He had to have 3 horrible shots. He cried for just a little bit. It was def. harder on mommy though. I had a few tears. You never realize how much you can love and care about someone until you have your own little one. It just breaks your heart to see them hurt and those big tears rolling down their little cheeks. It's just so sad and all I want to do is hold him and make the pain go away. My poor lo.

3 Nights and 4 Long Days Current mood: sore On Friday the 26th I had another gallbladder attack. I thought it would be just like all the others and would go away. It went away for just a little bit and then came back worse and it wasnt going away this time it lasted for a couple of hours so Jake and I decided that we would go to the ER which was the last thing that I wanted to do. We got there and waited for a couple hours then they finally got me back there. They took blood and got an u/s done on my gallbladder to check on all the stones. My blood test came back not so great. My white blood count levels were elevated which can mean infection, my gallbladder enzimes were elevated and on top of that the gallstones ended up giving me pancreatitis which could have caused lots of issues if not caught very soon. That night they decided to keep me and see if all of my levels would go back to normal. Saturday morning the surgeon came in and said lets get you ready for surgery better do it sooner than later. Around 10 or so got wheeled down and by 12 I was back in my room in horrible pain. Usually it's a 24-48 hour hospital stay but I had to stay an extra day because of my enzime levels. Now I am home, still in tons of pain but I am home and back with my baby although the Dr. says I cant lift him for two whole weeks. How am I not supposed to lift my baby for two weeks. I wont always have someone around to do it for me. We will get threw this just like everything else. It just really sucks right now.

October 21, 2007 - Sunday

Thoughts Current mood: thoughtful I never knew that my life could change so much in a matter of minutes. I fell inlove with Jake all over again, he is my strength, my everything. At the same time I fell inlove with someone new, and I have more love for someone I just met than I knew was possible. Giving birth changes you in so many ways. It makes you thankful for what you have and has made me realize that I am right where I want to be. I couldnt ask for anything more. My heart has grown so much and I have learned so much about myself and Jake. If I had ever thought he didnt love me so much that night I saw a person that couldnt love me more care for me more or be a more perfect husband and father. Life is good, life is great!

October 11, 2007 - Thursday Birth Story Current mood: sore This is going to be the short story because I am still so sore. Early Monday morning I woke up with mild cramps/contractions. Didnt think much of it nothing was regular. I had a Dr. appt. at 9:30 I was still only a 1 1/2 so we went ahead and set up the induction for 5:30am Tuesday. All day I was hurting but nothing that said labor. Around 4:30pm my mom and I went to Target to get a few things before he came contractions got worse but still not close. Got home just took it easy. Around 6pm they were very painful but still 10 mins apart give or take. My back was killing me and I couldnt do anything to make it go away. Finally at 8pm we decided to go to bed since it was going to be a long day Tuesday. As soon as I got into bed I leaned over to give Jake a kiss and I said I think my water just broke. I stood up real quick and two gushes of water came out. We rushed to the hospital Jake drove between 80 and 85, I dont really remember any of the drive, just that I was in pain. Got to the ER got to L&D they had no open rooms so I was put in Triage they checked me I was only a 2, the did an u/s for his position and couldnt tell where his head was. They had my Dr. come and look and everything was ok. I was put in my own room an hour and a half later I was checked and I was a 6. 15 mins later I was a 8, they were shocked I was going so fast. Just a few minutes later I was a 9 and they had already called for the epi the anesthesiologist was on the elevator, at this point there was no time for it. They ended up giving me a half shot of some pain med and fennigren, it helped just enough for me to breath thru the contractions. I was checked one more time I was complete and station was +2. After four contractions and 3 pushes each he was out. He was born at 12:01am on the 9th. He weighed 9lbs 5oz 19 1/2 inch long, my chunky little perfect baby. I dont remember much after that. I remember they moved him to the heat lamp fast nothing was wrong with him. I was hemorrhaging pretty badly, I also had a 4th degree tear I tore as much as a person can tear. My Dr. worked on me for over an hour trying to get the bleeding to stop and also to stitch everything up. They had given and done everything they could for the bleeding. It was a long night. Sometime in the morning they had me get up so they could clean everything and I ended up passing out, I dont remember anything at all, I had lost so much blood my body couldnt take it. All day Tuesday everytime I would get up I would almost pass out. Nothing they gave me was helping. That night they ended up doing a blood transfusion two units. Wednesday morning I was finally feeling a bit better I was able to get up with help. We were able to go home Thursday evening, I still dont feel "normal" I still turn pale, and feel weak but it is getting better every day. And my baby boy is healthy and is doing very well with his feedings, we just have to work on his sleeping at night. 10:48 AM 1 Comments (Add Comment) | 2 Kudos Translate Powered by English Albanian Arabic Bulgarian Catalan Chinese Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Estonian Filipino Finnish French Galician German Greek Hebrew Hindi Hungarian Indonesian Italian Japanese Korean Latvian Lithuanian Maltese Norwegian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Serbian Slovak Slovenian Spanish Swedish Thai Turkish Ukrainian Vietnamese Edit Remove

September 28, 2007 - Friday Waiting Current mood: restless This must be the hardest part of being pregnant. Waiting for the little one to come out into this world. I understand why you wouldnt want to come but I need to breath again. I dont know what to expect or when. I usually like to know what is going on and I dont have a clue with this. It's hard plus I'm so uncomfortable...I itch all over, my hips and back are killing me, my boobs wont stop growing, I have to pee every 5 minutes, I'm tired, my insides hurt every time I move. I'm constantly thinking is he ok, is he moving enough, is he going to be a 10 pound baby, will I be able to deliver him normally. People dont tell you all these things when they are pregnant. The usually just tell you about all the wonderful things. Yes I agree it is amazing, I'll miss feeling him move inside my belly, but I want to hold and kiss and listen to him cry. I know he will be here soon enough, I want him out so I can make sure that he is ok, I cant see or do anything for him inside my belly. I know he will come when he is ready, I just wish he was ready now that I am ready for him to come. 3:08 PM 2 Comments (Add Comment) | 2 Kudos Translate Powered by English Albanian Arabic Bulgarian Catalan Chinese Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Estonian Filipino Finnish French Galician German Greek Hebrew Hindi Hungarian Indonesian Italian Japanese Korean Latvian Lithuanian Maltese Norwegian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Serbian Slovak Slovenian Spanish Swedish Thai Turkish Ukrainian Vietnamese Edit Remove

August 29, 2007 - Wednesday My trip to the hospital Current mood: exhausted On Monday morning I woke up around 2:00 am with the worst pain I have ever felt. I felt like I was having a heart attack or asthma attack. I didn't think much of it since I have had a lot of other ligament pain in my stomach just thought it may be that just in a different area. Some how I was able to get back to sleep and woke up again around 3:45 Jake was up getting ready for work when I told him something was wrong. I told him to go a head to go to work and I'll just call the Dr. at 9:00. The pain got worse and I started crying, he asked if he should stay, I just stood there for a while not knowing what to do, when I just felt like I was going to die I told him lets go to the emergency room. Once we arrived there at 4:30 they did an EKG to check my heart everything was fine. They did a blood test came back ok. A Dr. came in and checked me out and said he thought it was my gallbladder. They went a head and did a non stress test on Kohen. His heartbeat was elevated but was doing ok. They took me to L&D to keep an eye on him. They ended up doing a sonogram on my gallbladder and Kohen. He is very healthy and growing. It took a while to get the results of the gallbladder. While waiting they thought maybe it was just bad contractions a little high. But the pain wasn't going away even with pain med. A surgeon came in and told us that I had gallstones and possibly have surgery. I started to cry that was probably my worst fear thinking that I may have my baby and have to have some surgery. So I didn't get to eat or drink anything till 2:00pm just in case while they monitored me. I was doing better so they let me have some food (clear liquid diet). That night they gave me a steroid shot for his lungs just in case I had to deliver him. On Tuesday morning they did another blood test and my liver test came back elevated so they kept me another night, kept an IV in with antibiotics gave me another steroid shot. And just kept an eye on me. That night all I wanted was to go home get the IV out of my hand, it hurt was swollen and itching. But they worried about my test. Wednesday came around my tests came back down they let me have low fat solid foods. And decided to release me around 3:30 pm, thank goodness. They said that as long as I don't have anymore gallstones pass I shouldn't need to have surgery until after he is born. They want me to get to at least 36 weeks. I have to be on a low fat diet until he is born. They are hoping that I make it to term and then after I have him they will go ahead and remove my gallbladder. Pray for me and my little boy that we make it a few more weeks before I have any other problems. 6:38 PM 2 Comments (Add Comment) | 4 Kudos Translate Powered by English Albanian Arabic Bulgarian Catalan Chinese Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Estonian Filipino Finnish French Galician German Greek Hebrew Hindi Hungarian Indonesian Italian Japanese Korean Latvian Lithuanian Maltese Norwegian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Serbian Slovak Slovenian Spanish Swedish Thai Turkish Ukrainian Vietnamese Edit Remove

August 8, 2007 - Wednesday Amazing Current mood: happy Jake and I went and had 3d/4d ultrasound pictures done. That was one of the most amazing thing I have ever seen. The pictures were blury but when we were watching on the screen it was just so neat to be able to see him moving and his different faces he would make. It makes me love him even more already. I cant wait till I can hold him. There were a lot of pictures that I wish I could just pick him up and comfort him. I wish I could see him every day like that, just to make sure that he is ok and doing well. From what it looks like he is a very healthy little baby. Only two more months of waiting. Cant come soon enough. 11:25 PM 1 Comments (Add Comment) | 2 Kudos Translate Powered by English Albanian Arabic Bulgarian Catalan Chinese Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Estonian Filipino Finnish French Galician German Greek Hebrew Hindi Hungarian Indonesian Italian Japanese Korean Latvian Lithuanian Maltese Norwegian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Serbian Slovak Slovenian Spanish Swedish Thai Turkish Ukrainian Vietnamese Edit Remove

July 2, 2007 - Monday Prego Body Current mood: thankful Being pregnant definitely changes the way you think, the way you feel, just the way you are. Most days I love being pregnant, it's one of the most amazing things you can ever experience. And you never quite know what to expect until you become pregnant. So many people around you tell you their stories, but it's never the same for each person. Some days I feel like I am the biggest person around and I can't figure out how I got so big. Then I remind myself that I am going to have a baby. My baby boy is growing inside of me which is such a miracle. I have to tell myself that everything will be ok, and you will get thru this because you are now caring for someone other than yourself. No more being selfish and thinking of myself first. I am happy with where I am right now, right now is a good time. I just have to remind myself of this every once in a while when I look at myself in the mirror, or when I am just feeling down. I am such a lucky person to be where I am. My baby and I are very healthy and doing very well. What more could I ask for. 9:00 PM 1 Comments (Add Comment) | 2 Kudos Translate Powered by English Albanian Arabic Bulgarian Catalan Chinese Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Estonian Filipino Finnish French Galician German Greek Hebrew Hindi Hungarian Indonesian Italian Japanese Korean Latvian Lithuanian Maltese Norwegian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Serbian Slovak Slovenian Spanish Swedish Thai Turkish Ukrainian Vietnamese Edit Remove

June 14, 2007 - Thursday It's A Boy!!!! Current mood: happy We had our appt. and everything looks really good. We are having a boy, what Jake and I were both hoping for. We are so excited and now I can start shopping. It was so neat being able to see him, it's crazy how fast they grow. It was funny, he wouldnt stay still, he was just kicking away at my bladder, no wonder I have to pee so much. His legs were wide open so we could definately till that he was a boy. But he likes to cover his face up. Since they wernt able to get a very good look at his face they will probably have us do a 3d/4d ultrasound which we were thinking about doing anyways, we will probably get to do it sooner though if the Dr says so. By his measurements I am actually a week further along. So my due date may be around the 8th of Oct instead which will be fine with me. Today is a good day!

June 4, 2007 - Monday Finding out...boy or girl? Current mood: anxious Had my Dr. appt. today everything looks good, baby is healthy and active. Although no longer wants us to hear it's heartbeat. He/she would keep moving away from the doppler they said it's a good sign, shows that the baby is very active. I go in on the 14th for my sono. appt. so we can finally find out the sex of our little one. It's at 8:15am so I wont have to be anxious all day, and only 10 days away. I can't wait to tell everyone if it's going to be a boy or girl. My family is wanting a girl, Jakes side thinks it will be a girl, and of corse Jake and I want it to be a boy, I would be happy either way though. Just happy to have a baby on the way. Till the 14th..... 4:06 PM 1 Comments (Add Comment) | 1 Kudos Translate Powered by English Albanian Arabic Bulgarian Catalan Chinese Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Estonian Filipino Finnish French Galician German Greek Hebrew Hindi Hungarian Indonesian Italian Japanese Korean Latvian Lithuanian Maltese Norwegian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Serbian Slovak Slovenian Spanish Swedish Thai Turkish Ukrainian Vietnamese Edit Remove

May 31, 2007 - Thursday Good news Yay!!! Current mood: content On Monday after we went camping with my family for the weekend (which was so nice being up in the mountains and just being able to get it away, it was so nice) we drove back to Amarillo, Texas. On Tuesday the Guards voted on a new contract. There were alot of people that did think it would be accepted and alot of others that did not want this contract and thought we could get something better. This contract was a good contract though, much better than the first and second one they had voted on. So that evening we found out that we were going to be able to stay in Texas and Jake was going to go back to work. It's nice being back, knowing that everything is going to be okay, with us and with the pregnancy. I am going to the Dr. on the 4th, maybe we will get to find out what the sex is. I think that the Dr. wants to wait a few more weeks. I'll be okay with that also because then I can make the appt. where Jake will be able to with me. 2:21 PM 0 Comments (Add Comment) | 0 Kudos Translate Powered by English Albanian Arabic Bulgarian Catalan Chinese Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Estonian Filipino Finnish French Galician German Greek Hebrew Hindi Hungarian Indonesian Italian Japanese Korean Latvian Lithuanian Maltese Norwegian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Serbian Slovak Slovenian Spanish Swedish Thai Turkish Ukrainian Vietnamese Edit Remove

May 21, 2007 - Monday It feels like popcorn is in my belly Current mood: excited Popcorn,That's kind of what it feels like inside my belly these days. It's just starting to become stronger where I can actually feel what's going on. And today it felt like there was popcorn inside of me. Strange but the most amazing feeling ever. Just knowing that there is a little human growing in there and getting bigger and stronger every day. An update on my life, we are currently living in Colorado for the time being and my mother in laws house because of the strike. Jake is working with my dad and I am working from home. We are so glad that we both have families that care so much for us and are helping us out in so many ways. I want to be back "home" though. I have no insurance while the strike is going on. I dont have so much of my own stuff. It's not bad yet. From what they are saying though we may be here for awhile. Pray for us and the baby and wish us luck. We may need it. Oh yeah...Jake was able to feel the baby for the first time. It's so amazing being able to feel everything all the time now. Four or five more weeks till we get to find out if theres a boy or girl in there. As long as the strike is over and were back in Texas with insurance. We cant wait. 6:49 PM 2 Comments (Add Comment) | 4 Kudos Translate Powered by English Albanian Arabic Bulgarian Catalan Chinese Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Estonian Filipino Finnish French Galician German Greek Hebrew Hindi Hungarian Indonesian Italian Japanese Korean Latvian Lithuanian Maltese Norwegian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Serbian Slovak Slovenian Spanish Swedish Thai Turkish Ukrainian Vietnamese Edit Remove

April 16, 2007 - Monday Stupid Strike Current mood: sad My husband and his union just went on stirke, for good reasons, not for more money but many other things. I dont really understand why companies take everything away that we already had. It makes me mad and scared and everything else. I think I'm more scared than anything else with this whole thing. Espically being pregnant, I'm already more emotional than usual. Were just praying that this doesnt last long because we lose our insurance for however long they are on strike and also as long as they arent working they arent getting paid. So Jake is in Colorado working with my dad so everything will be ok. I guess I just kind of need to vent a little bit because I am scared of this whole thing. 9:03 PM 1 Comments (Add Comment) | 0 Kudos Translate Powered by English Albanian Arabic Bulgarian Catalan Chinese Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Estonian Filipino Finnish French Galician German Greek Hebrew Hindi Hungarian Indonesian Italian Japanese Korean Latvian Lithuanian Maltese Norwegian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Serbian Slovak Slovenian Spanish Swedish Thai Turkish Ukrainian Vietnamese Edit Remove

April 7, 2007 - Saturday Heartbeat at 12 1/2 weeks Current mood: sleepy I had my second Dr. appt this last week and everything went well. Jake and I heard the heartbeat for the first which was amazing. We cant wait to see the little one again. The next time we see our pumpkin will be around 20-22 weeks, we will also find out the sex at that time if he/she is willing to let us see. We are so excited. I sometimes wish that I were futher along so I could feel the baby and have more information, but then again time goes by so fast why push it. The sickness is starting to wear off although I still have my good and bad days a few times a week. I havent really gained weight although my belly is sticking out now and looks like I am somewhat pregnant espically when I wear maternity clothes. I am still tired most of the time, I feel like I cant get enough sleep still. And I cant eat normal portions of food, which that part doesnt bother me. I'm gonna go take a nap now. 3:20 PM 2 Comments (Add Comment) | 2 Kudos Translate Powered by English Albanian Arabic Bulgarian Catalan Chinese Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Estonian Filipino Finnish French Galician German Greek Hebrew Hindi Hungarian Indonesian Italian Japanese Korean Latvian Lithuanian Maltese Norwegian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Serbian Slovak Slovenian Spanish Swedish Thai Turkish Ukrainian Vietnamese Edit Remove

February 19, 2007 - Monday Were Expecting Current mood: nauseated I wasnt going to post any blogs or anything until after my first appointment to confirm. We are going to have a baby, and we are both so excited. I believe I am right about 6 weeks along if my timing is all right or I could be further than that. You never know. Everyone is thrilled for us. We cant wait for this little pumpkin(Oct baby) to come into our lives. I havent been too sick yet. Almost every morning I feel a bit nauseated along with stomach cramps for the last 4 weeks. After my appt. on the 6th I will post more info.
