Day to myself sorta

My mom took A today so I had a day with just C. So my friend "C" came over and we worked on some scrapbooking. I didn't get as much done as I wanted but I did want to show you all what I did get done on C's book. These are not in order but they are sets :) Enjoy!

Bad morning but Good Hubby and Daughters!

I was up nursing C this morning at about 3am and started getting lower back pain that just kept getting worse. After about 1.5 hours I couldn't even think. I was really shaky, hot then cold, and I was on the toilet every 10 min. and vomiting into the trashcan to boot. My extremely great hubby got me water and took care of the girls (except for breastfeeding LOL, he still wont try that LOL). I told Hubby that I couldn't do anything and was basically worthless. All I was able to do this morning was nurse C and lay on the couch in between bathroom runs. He was super great and really stepped up. I'm feeling better tonight but not great. I upgraded myself from "I'M GOING TO DIE!" to "I FEEL LIKE CRAP RAN OVER WITH A TRUCK!". That is an improvement right?

On a much better note:

A is doing GREAT potty training. We have been really working hard at these past 3 days and she only has had 2 accidents (I dont count the small amount this morning because it was my fault). I'm so proud of her. I'm not buying her anymore diapers so this better work LOL.

Hubby starts days tomorrow (YUCK!) so lets hope tonight and tomorrow are a lot better then this morning for me.

Tears held in...and Rat dogs

My little girl is silly...I love that she clings to mommy, is girly and mostly sweet. That being said sometimes its all I can do to correct her without laughing at her antics. Today being case in point.

We went up to my "step-Moms" (D) because my dad and "sister" (L) were there and "sister" had breast pump parts for me.

This kind of freaked out my father a little LOL.

Well D has this dog (I guess you could call her a dog but she looks more like a rat to me!) Lena.

We had been at D's house for about an hour and everyone was on the porch including the dog and A was jumping around.

Lena is not the brightest dog and a toy Yorkie I should point out.

2lb rat dog + jumping toddler = toddler getting her butt tapped (by me) for "kicking" the dog. I later found out it was an accident but this ruff behavior with animals has been an ongoing thing.

A hides her eyes and is trying not to cry. I pick her up and hold her in my lap while she is upset. We talk and just when I think she will be ok and not cry...ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!

Oh, the tears were horrid, grandparents want to do the sweep in and hug but Mommy is all mean and holding her hostage.

I dont think she has ever been in trouble in front of Papa and Nana before so she was embarressed and crying/sobbing/snotting all over me.

Finally she crys "I want to go home".

Boy did I feel like the worlds meanest mom when I found out it was an accident (not the point but still).

When I asked her later why it took her so long to cry (seriously about 3 min.!) she said "I was so sad the tears were stuck!".

Tonight she spent all night telling me she will never hurt "ennie" again and she is sorry...

Lets hope she remembers and it works on all animals because Alex our Shitz Tzu cant take many more body slams from 30lb girls...

My 1st nursing cover.

I made this wonderful nursing cover. I had bought one but the darn thing was so hard to nurse with. I couldn't see C because the darn neck wouldn't stay up. I really need to work on making the "inside" of things look good but I'm ok with just the outside looking good ;) This is a extra wide nursing cover because I'm not a petite woman LOL. The first picture is a close up of the cool fabric I used. I had it for awhile but couldn't figure out what to do with it. It worked out great for this. I used

1 1/2 yards fabric
thread
2 D rings
about 1/4 yard corset boning (the stiffest you can get in white)
*length of area between bra straps and add about 1 inch*

I just started sewing without a pattern but got the general idea from Blisstree

It took me about half an hour (ok a little longer with stopping to play with A and feed C).

Its been awhile...

Since I posted on here. We are all doing well and adjusting to having Baby C. A has had some problems in that area (no surprise there). She loves her new baby sister and she is great with her. Her attitude with me and daddy is horrid at times. But she is overall doing well. C is growing too fast! She is 6 weeks now and stinking cute! She looks just like her Daddy! She is smiling now but you have to really work for a smile. She weighs over 10lbs now. We are still Exclusively breastfeeding (I'm so proud of this!), and it is going awesome. Last night Hubby gave her a bottle so my breasts were very full this morning and I was able to pump out 4 extra oz. I have over 30 oz stored in my freezer now. As a stay at home mom I don't know that I will ever need it but its good to be prepared. If I don't use it, I can always donate it. I would love to do this and have been looking into it. The only thing that is kind of discouraging about donating it is you have to donate at least 100 oz at a time and I don't know that I will have that before the first oz that I pumped out "expires". Well C is hungry again so I will get off of here. Love to all.

Happy Birthday C, Welcome to the world!

I went in at 6am on Monday morning to be induced and it was the BEST labor ever! They started my patocin (spelling) at 7 and I was 3cm and 90%. They checked me again at 8ish and I was 4cm and 90%. My nurse was AWESOME, but her checking me HURT! The anesthesiologist came in at about 9 am to talk to me and tell me that she was going to be in surgery from 10:30-at least 12 and if I wanted it then there was no guarantee I would get my epidural. The contractions started to come really close together and and I wanted drugs at about 9:45 and talking to my nurse we decided to just go ahead and get my epidural due to the fact that the drugs would wear off before my epidural would be in (3 of us in L&D decided this at about the same time LOL but I won). I had no problem getting my epidural because she talked through the whole thing and I was contracting at the time so I didn't feel the pinches or the burn or whatever it was that I was suppose to feel. About 5 min. after it went in my BP dropped though so I dont remember about 20 min. DH said I was was vomiting and talking but I dont remember it. I was so numb that I couldn't help move myself so DH got a workout LOL. They turned it down at just the right time though so I could push. They came in at about 1pm while my nurse was on Lunch break to check me again and said I was still 4cm and 90%. I was very bummed. My nurse came back at about 1:30 and said that I was 8-9 and fully effaced and they were nuts. I was a much happier camper! She started bringing stuff into the room and at 1:55 I started to feel something down there. I started pushing at 2:05 and she was born at 2:22. Only a first degree tear ( I had 3rd with A) I was released in 24 hours.

C
8lbs 1oz
20 inches long

Just me complaining feel free to ignore!

Venting to take place...Please ignore it!

My hip is out of place and Extremely painful. I feel like anyway I move is going to make it worse. If I dont move it it cramps, If I move it it hurts bad. I'm so ready to be done being pregnant. We are Never doing this again, If I get baby fever someone remind what a miserable pregnant woman I make please! I'm mad all the time at A and have NO patients. 3 weeks ago I had patients but its gone now and I just want to send her to my mom's until its all over. A knows something is coming and is acting out which is not helping my anger management issues. In the middle of hubby's sleep time (he is on midnights right now) today he had to get up to deal with her because I was going to beat her. SERIOUSLY! I was so mad at her I was screaming at her ( I never do that!). I'm so sick of her not going to sleep and being "afraid" of bugs. Thanks so much Louie for making my daughter paranoid about freakin BUGS, IN THE DAMN SUMMER!!!! When they are EVERYWHERE!

After Hubby got A calmed down and put down for a nap I just laid on the couch and bawled. I'm Done. The End! Eviction notice to Charlie sent out! I want my body back and pain free! I dont care that I'm only 37 weeks! I just want to be a normal good mom again.

I'm not normally one to complain but today has been HORRID! I cant even describe how bad of a wife and mother I'm feeling like today. The only good news coming in the near future is that I have an induction date of the 26th, so I know I wont go past that! Thank God. 2 weeks, I should be able to do that, Right????
