Last Days
Hi!!!
Things have been slightly hectic since Amelia came home, so I apologize for my lack of blogging. She is absolutely precious, I love her more and more every day :)
Tomorrow is my 6 week pp check up, and as I am sitting here sipping wine, I'm feeling great and ready to jump into working out. Today is my last day of what I am calling free. My free for all if you will. I plan to begin hitting the gym and eating better. So I was looking on Pinterest and came across this. This is my motivation :)
"Set your alarm for 6am. Don’t groan when it goes off and pull the covers over your head, get up and start your day. Put on a baggy top and running shorts. Go downstairs and pour yourself a nice big glass of ice water. Cut up some fruit and mix it in with yogurt. Add some granola. Now go outside. Stretch for 10 minutes. Skip for 5 minutes. Jog for 10 minutes. Run for 10 minutes. Walk back. Lay out a towel on the ground and lie down on it. Do 50 crunches. Yes, they hurt, but they are 100% worth it. When you’re done, get in the shower. Use a nice smelling shampoo and matching conditioner. Shave your legs and wash your body. Exfoliate your face. Get out of the shower and let your hair air dry. Look in the mirror. Do you like what you see? If you do, good for you. Do this every day and you will continue to love yourself. If you don’t like what you see, do this every day and pretty soon you will. Being lazy might feel good at the time, but being active feels better in the long run. How badly do you want it?" MOTIVATION.
I'll try and post up a few pictures of my little pumpkin soon!

Belated Birth Story!
Ok, my apologies for the delay in our Amelia's birth story. Things have been a little hectic to say the least, and blogging has been the last thing on my mind lately!
So, without further ado......
Our journey began with my 37 week appointment. I saw a new OB that was recommended by my midwife (had to see an OB due to gestation diabetes), and that OB stated in her medical opinion I needed to have a scheduled c-section due to the possible size of the baby- my 36w6d u/s guesstimate was 8 lbs 2 oz at that point. I told her I wanted to try a vaginal birth, and she tried to talk me out of it by scaring me with horror stories.
Soooo, I rescheduled my 38 week appointment with my MW even though I wasn't supposed to see her. When I went in, I told her about the OB, and that I at least wanted to give a vaginal birth a shot before giving in to a c-sec. She totally agreed with me! :) She said because I was a gestational diabetic, the placenta can start to deteriorate early (not to mention her size they were guessing) they wanted to induce me at 39 weeks.
Fast forward to Sunday, October 9th (39 weeks exactly). We went in at 0600, and was admitted right away. I dressed down, we got comfy and waited. They came in and got all our info, birth plan etc and then we waited some more. Almost 4 hours more :/
They came in and apologized for the delay... I guess they had 3 emergency deliveries, so of course we were ok with it all. They gave me this pill called MISO to help my cervix become even more favorable for the pitocin since I was only 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. I had to lay there for a few hours, then they came back and checked me again. I had dilated to 3 cm, 60% effaced, but nothing much more. She said since I was having so many contractions, they could not give me another one to make sure they didn't harm the baby. I had to let my body do more laboring on it's own, then they would start pitocin once I did.
Now the fun stuff!! At 1645, the doc came back in, checked me and told me I was 4 cm, 60% effaced. They then started the pitocin. My contractions almost instantly became stronger and no longer felt like strong cramps. I was determined to try a med free birth, so I continued through them like champ. At 0400 on 10/10, I woke up and felt the need to use the restroom, and as soon as I stood up, I felt this gush of fluid. Since I had just woken up, I thought I was peeing myself and could not stop laughing! I was cracking up as the fluid just kept gushing down my legs onto the floor while I'm trying to gather my IV. LOL
I finally made it to the bathroom with the IV, and hollered for my husband to grab me a towel. Then I told him to get a nurse because I thought my water just broke.
Nurse came in, looked at the towel and told me it was my water, though it looked like meconium on the towel. Cue freakout! She told me not to worry, that it would be ok, they just monitor the baby a little bit more.
At 0500, the contractions became unbeareable to me, so I asked for the epidural. BEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!! I didn't like not feeling my legs, but no longer felt like I was dying (yes, I'm a big baby). I recommend an epidural if you're thinking about getting one.
Around 1600, the midwife came back in and said I was 9 cm dilated and almost 100% effaced- YAY! Almost time to push! :) They turned back the epi (per my request so I could feel my contractions and know when to push). I started pushing around 1700- and pushed for an hour. It was at that point they said the baby was "sunnyside up" and wanted to try and turn her since it can cause damage on the baby if she comes our face up. They turned up the epi again so that I wouldn't feel the urge to push, and laid me on my side with my leg up. I stayed like this for an hour before she came back in and had me start pushing again. With the epi turned back down, I started pushing and the midwife said she was still face up. :( I thought this would never end! She told me to keep pushing and she would manually try to turn her, so we went with it.
I pushed for another hour and a half when I'm not sure if she was seeing my fatigue, or if I was truly close, but she finally said I was so close to meeting my baby girl. The reason I question it was because my husband did overhear her talking to the nurse and mention the possibility of an emergency c-section :(
By this point I was exhausted and had no idea how I would keep going, but refused to give up since I had gone through all this and come this far. My husband was the best coach I could have asked for <3 He helped me and gave me the strength to push on. He coached me, fanned me when I overheated, held my hand and continuously told me how good I was doing. I love this man. Almost another full hour of pushing and our comes our little Amelia (face down I might add thanks to the MW). She was rushed over to the side to be cleaned up due to the meconium, but then was brought right back over to me and I never wanted to let her go. She was precious; the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on. The rest is a blur. I know they had me push a few more times to deliver the placenta, but I was so fixated on my husband and new baby, that I didn't pay any attention to the world around me. Recovery has been great (though still recovering) and Amelia is doing fantastic!! All 8 lbs 2 oz of her! I'm so glad I pushed for a vaginal birth, and went against the OB's advice. I had a wonderful, albeit long delivery, and wouldn't change it for the world.
Here's a picture right after birth :)

37 Weeks and some change
I apologize for the reflection and dirty mirror :/
*How far along?: 37w2d
*Total weight gain: mid 20's
*How big is baby?: Huge ;) Watermelon. As of my growth u/s at 36w6d they think she is already 8 lbs 1 oz
*Sleep?: Yeah, not so much
*How are you feeling physically? These past few weeks have been very difficult. She has positioned herself more in more pelvis which is painful and uncomfortable and I have slowly started to progress in terms of becoming dilated (though I was never told the number). YAY!
*How are you feeling emotionally?: A ball of emotions. SO excited to meet her!!!!!
*Movement?: Yes and she hurts her mama. It's still amazing to watch my belly move all over the place
*Food cravings?: Nah, not so much anything right now
*Labor signs?: Yes. I've been having cramping and more painful BH contractions, though nothing close to hard labor
*What I miss: Being more mobile, sleeping in my own bed (now sleeping sitting up on the couch) and a nice glass of Pinot :o)
*What I'm looking forward to: Holding my sweet baby girl!
*Random Thoughts: Can my vag handle a large baby!?!?!? LOL OMFG I'm a little nervous :) I have decided to try and labor as long as I can without meds so I can be mobile, but I will opt for an epi

I hit 35/35!!!
Ok, one day past due on this, but the picture is from yesterday. How in the world did I make it here? I remember how much doubt I had that I would ever be able to get pregnant, and here I am. If there is one thing I can pass on, it's to never give up!
*How far along?: 35w1d
*Total weight gain: mid 20's
*How big is baby?: Honeydew (4.5-5.5 lbs)
*Sleep?: What's that?
*How are you feeling physically? Overall pretty good, though I'm starting to exhaust quickly and can feel my body shifting for delivery which is somewhat painful.
*How are you feeling emotionally?: Fantastic! I am so ready for her :)
*Movement?: Yes, though it has slowed down some since she has less room. She loves to kick the top of my belly with her heels though LOL
*Food cravings?: Anything the GD diet tells me not to have? haha
*Labor signs?: Nope
*What I miss: Being able to walk normally (no waddling, grunting) :)
*What I'm looking forward to: Her delivery
*Random Thoughts: We are now totally prepared for her when she comes. The nursery is done (though she'll be sleeping in a bassinet in our room for a while), clothes & blankets are washed, bouncer and swing set up and we picked up the last few things we needed for a while from the store! :) Hopefully it's another month before she's here though, but we're ready for her!

Nursery is done! Whew!
So, we finally got the last decorations up in the nursery, and besides waiting to get the crib mattress and bedding all set up (trying to the keep curious cat way from crib) were done! Feels so good to have it completed. MH just said tonight that we need to pack our hospital bag now and we're good to go. I think he's looking forward to putting the car seats in too :o)
Here's some pictures :)
Here's her closet full of new clothes from the shower, and hand-me-downs :) And tons of diapers!
Her dresser is full of more clothes (mainly onsies and sleepers from newborn to 12 months), blankets and sleep sacks. It's nice to feel prepared... at least in this aspect!

Thinking about deleting my blog..... question for you
First off, I apologize for being such a lame blogger lately. Things have been pretty hectic and I just don't have much to update on lately, hence the cease in postings!
My question is for those who have had kids or life just becomes pretty busy, do you still find joy in blogging (or the time)?
I've had so much fun blogging while TTC, but for some reason things have just slowed down and I don't want to bore the crap out of anyone with posts about nothing. It makes me sad to think about deleting my blog, but I'm not sure if I will want to continue. Any advice is welcomed!!!
xoxo

GD Update
So today I went in for my what I call the "prick test". The nurse taught me how to check my blood sugar levels and gave me a few pamphlets on good foods/bad foods until I can meet with a nutritionist.
I will say I went in EXTREMELY nervous, but left feeling much better. When she had me assembling the wand/needle, I was literally shaking. I could feel my heart just pounding!! So I finally worked up the nerve to test on my finger, and it didn't work. So I tried again. Again no-go. One last time and finally the needle pierced the skin haha. Talk about anxiety! Anywho, it truly didn't hurt too badly... I guess Kaiser started using a needle that draws less blood, but hurts much less (I'm ok with that!)
I found out that I failed my initial blood draw for the 3hr GTT by 1 point. They want to see my fasting blood sugar level under 95, and it was 96. Today I tested after lunch and it was at a 90, so I'm thinking that's good|!?!
All in all not a bad day. I feel like I'm taking back some control I felt I lost a few days ago :o)

Gestational Diabetes
Ok, so this was not what I was hoping to hear today when I went in for my 3 hour glucose test. In fact, I was totally prepared to sit there for 4 hours, have them call me and hopefully tell me we're good to go.
Instead, I go in, get my baseline blood draw to show I was fasting, and apparently my fasting glucose level was already way high, so my doc advised to skip the drink, and go straight to making an appt with a nutritionist who specializes in GD.
My first thought was fuck me. Why does shit like this always have to happen? Why can't I catch a flippin break?!? But then after I wiped away the tears and drove back to work, I thought to myself that it's not the end of the world. At worst I have to prick my fingers and go the insulin route. At best I have to log my meals and watch my diet- oh and still prick my fingers. At least now I know there is an issue and can take all measures to ensure that Amelia has the best health possible.
I posted on a few boards looking for advice on where to look for suggestions etc... and got some good advice in general! Now I just have to wait until I get a call and set up an appt and go from there. MH is already very supportive in helping me plan my meals, and keeps reminding me that it's only temporary.
Hopefully this will get me on a good track in terms of eating well, which will lead to weight loss after baby is here! I have heard people lose weight once going on this diet, but at this moment that is not my main goal.
I just want to bring home a sweet, healthy baby girl :)
So off I go into the unknown world of GD! Wish us all luck! <3

I'm still alive!!! *28 Weeks*
Sorry I have been MIA lately. I guess I don't have a ton of new things going on, my life has somewhat slowed down lately. We are making amazing progress on the nursery, so hopefully later this week I'll have pictures to post up!
So today we invited my FIL and Step-MIL to our 3/4D ultrasound. It was such a great experience! Seriously the only dry eye in the house was the tech ;) Amelia of course was stubborn and kept trying to block our view. She'd roll over or put her hands and/or feet in front of her face just to keep us away. Pretty funny shit if you ask me. We paid for 15-20 mins of u/s, but the tech went for just a little over an hour with us- just so we could get some good shots (we'd get a few then she'd move) Here are a few of our fav's :o)
How far along?: 28 Weeks
*Total weight gain: 19 lbs as of last appt
*How big is baby?: Still the size of a eggplant
*Sleep?: I try! I have begun napping in my car again on breaks ;)
*How are you feeling physically? Feeling great besides the heartburn and swollen feet! If this is all I have to endure, I feel blessed!!!
*How are you feeling emotionally?: Fantastic!
*Best moment this week?: Seeing Amelia in 3D today
*Movement?: All.the.time. She likes to kick her mama- especially when it's time for me to go to bed!
*Food cravings?: Ice cream and mexican food
*Labor signs?: Nope
*What I miss: Right now nothing much. I'm loving this
*What I'm looking forward to: Getting the nursery done
*Random Thoughts: Now that we've seen her in 3D, I can't help but wonder what she'll look like as a newborn!

26 Weeks and some drama!
Ok, so this is a few days early, but I am going out of town and won't have a chance to update.
So a few big ticket items I have to discuss today. First off, I realized that today I have 100 days left, tomorrow will be double digits!!!! Holy shit times flies right?!?!?!?
Secondly, today I made a trip to L&D because I had a scare :( I had a gush of fluid a few days back, followed by some cramping. This morning I realized I haven't been feeling Amelia as much, so I freaked the fuck out.
They hooked me up to the monitors and checked my goodies and all is well. They said I most likely peed myself a little (congrats to me!) and I'm most likely having Braxton Hicks contractions. I feel better knowing that everything is ok, but not too fond of the idea of peeing myself LOL
How far along?: 26 Weeks!! (almost)
*Total weight gain: 16 lbs as of last appt
*How big is baby?: Still the size of a eggplant
*Sleep?: More awake than sleep
*How are you feeling physically? This week has been a bit rough just with not knowing what was going on, but I love feeling her move around which outweighs anything bad!
*How are you feeling emotionally?: Better now that I went to the hospital
*Best moment this week?: Seeing my stomach move when Amelia kicks me
*Movement?: See above post ;)
*Food cravings?: Alright I found one.... it's been ice cream all the way! (had my first DQ Blizzard last night!!)
*Labor signs?: No, but I had my BH scare moment
*What I miss: Being totally mobile
*What I'm looking forward to: Our 3/4D u/s in a few weeks!!
*Random Thoughts: Time is flying by now and I'm feeling the pressure of my previous laziness! lol

Secondly, today I made a trip to L&D because I had a scare :( I had a gush of fluid a few days back, followed by some cramping. This morning I realized I haven't been feeling Amelia as much, so I freaked the fuck out.
They hooked me up to the monitors and checked my goodies and all is well. They said I most likely peed myself a little (congrats to me!) and I'm most likely having Braxton Hicks contractions. I feel better knowing that everything is ok, but not too fond of the idea of peeing myself LOL
How far along?: 26 Weeks!! (almost)
*Total weight gain: 16 lbs as of last appt
*How big is baby?: Still the size of a eggplant
*Sleep?: More awake than sleep
*How are you feeling physically? This week has been a bit rough just with not knowing what was going on, but I love feeling her move around which outweighs anything bad!
*How are you feeling emotionally?: Better now that I went to the hospital
*Best moment this week?: Seeing my stomach move when Amelia kicks me
*Movement?: See above post ;)
*Food cravings?: Alright I found one.... it's been ice cream all the way! (had my first DQ Blizzard last night!!)
*Labor signs?: No, but I had my BH scare moment
*What I miss: Being totally mobile
*What I'm looking forward to: Our 3/4D u/s in a few weeks!!
