The Big Break Down

Sunday, August 23. 2009 on the way to our last movie without having to find a babysitter I broke down and just cried. Poor Todd didn't know what to say other than "Did I do something to make you mad?'. I felt so bad, I couldn't help it, I was nervous, feeling like we weren't doing the right thing by being induced and just well scared. After 9 months of carrying this sweet little baby, he was about to be here. It was all going to be over in a couple of days... well pregnancy over and motherhood beginning.

After talking to Todd about my fears and being nervous I prayed about being induced. I really didn't know if we were doing the right thing. Don't babies come when they are ready? After praying about it and crying on Todd's shoulder, then crying while holding our other two babies, I went to bed hoping that the answer would come before we went to the doctor in the morning. Before leaving I got on facebook and noticed I had an email from a friend of mine. In this email she said that if I worried about being induced I should not be. I felt like my prayers had been answered. The only person who I had shared my fear with was Todd and this friend just happened to sit down that night and write to me about being induced. I knew that God had answered our prayers and we headed to the doctor for one last visit.

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si...
