Wow it has been FOREVER!!

WE ARE NOW A FAMILY OF FOUR!! After a rocky start to this pregnancy, we have our happy ending! Madisyn Joy was born March 9th at 8:29am at 7 pounds 4 ounces via repeat c section! I have my two girls. We have our beautiful little family! Time is flying and I have promised myself to keep up on this blog a better now that she is here and I have my sanity back! Madisyn will be 5 weeks on Tuesday! She is gorgeous... not bias or anything. She is already smiling up a storm and overall is a very good little girl. We have had bouts of gas at night however thanks to baby's bliss gripe water, we have that handled. To recap quickly, the end of my pregnancy was pretty uneventful.... c section was scheduled for 39 weeks. I had the best anesthesiologist in the WORLD Aaron rocked!! I give him credit for making this delivery everything I wanted, I wasn't overly drugged up, could speak, this man gave me 8 anti nausea meds starting before the surgery so it was in my system to control the horrible problem I had with K's delivery. I was holding my baby within 15 minutes after surgery and even breastfeeding. With K wasn't physically able to hold her for hours! My big sis Fawn flew in for Madisyns arrival and to help around the house while I was in the hospital. She is such a blessing! I worried very little about Kaylie and the house for the 2 days I was in the hospital. That's right 2 days :) I recovered SO FAST I was ready to come home the next day but they refused. I had the cath out that night and was up and walking around. I spent 48 hours in the hospital, not by choice. Off all pain meds within a couple days. It was so perfect! I thought my first was easy! Ha! Ya this was a piece of cake! I am so so blessed to have my husband and our two daughters. More to come...

19 wks 3 days

Halfway done cooking this little one, crazy how fast time is going by. The 27th we have our big ultrasound, with any luck we will find out the gender! Dr. appt to follow right after. I had the plague (some sort of virus) for nearly 3 weeks... 3 horrible weeks. Still have a cough but feeling human! I was on Tamiflu, antiboics and a syrup. Had a bacterial infection in my lungs as well. Never wish to repeat that was the worst I have ever felt. Nothin else to really report until next week! I think it will be a surprise no matter what as I have no insight on boy or girl.... so we'll see!

made it to 16 weeks- yesterday!

I bought a fetal doppler online being we didnt get to hear hb at 12 week appt, arrived yesterday and was totally worth every penny!! Hubby got to hear "his son" lol (we dont know the sex but he insists boy, my daughter insists girl lol) for the 1st time last night. Totally cool! Next appt oct 9th will be almost 18 weeks. We should find out gender later in Oct with any luck. The puking finally slowed down its only random now. Thats about it for now.

Oh yes Im a slacker.

I have thought about updating a thousand times yet never make the time. That Wed apt went well U/S showed everything was normal and no reason for bleeding now. Baby was bouncing around saw and heard heartbeat. Had my 12 week apt. Everything seemed good didn't get to hear hb baby wasn't cooperating, doc said I can come back in couple weeks if I want to hear it. But we decided to just wait it out until our next apt. which will be Oct 9th- I will be nearly 18 weeks!! Cant believe how fast time is flying. The puking seems to be leveling off past couple days I am just hoping it continues to ease and disappear soon! I will schedule my c section at 30-32 weeks along. K is super excited we are having a "new baby" she insists its a girl, hope she is right for her sake lol she is pretty stuck on it even though I talk to her about a brother also. We should find out the sex end of Oct. That's all the news for now!

Doc appt and more

Had our 1st official appt on 8/7... met the doc, he is great we love him, relieved about that! His insurance wont allow him to do vbacs, so another c sections it will be. I'm OK with that if the end result is healthy baby. I am still on restrictions until this Wed ultrasound to make sure all is perfect and the fluid has resolved. Doc said he is pretty sure its all fine, then I will be off all restrictions YEAH!! He said I will have a c section at 39 weeks will make it the first week in March. I was offered weekly b12 injections for the puking that is getting worse and worse but declined and decided to wait it out another week or so. Est. due date is 3/15 for now, even though baby will come a week early. Well guess that's all for now! More on Wed!

Update: the past week events

So last Thursday woke up everything was as normal, went to go make K pancake as I was standing in front of the stove I felt a big gush. Sure enough it was blood, bright red and a lot of it. I thought the worst, but stayed calm as I have no control over what happens in the end anyway. I called my ob office whom told me to go to ER. Went to ER, bleeding had stopped, cervix was closed, blood work came back good solidly pregnant the RN said. Doc ordered an ultrasound but by that time it was past 5pm so they sent me home and had be go back Friday early for u/s. They found some blood in there, baby was measuring right on target with a nice heartbeat, nice and high in my uterus apparently the best place to implant. Went back to the ER doc whom told me bed rest for the next few days and said I had a subchrionic bleed near the placenta. Nonetheless went home rested next few days with no further bleeding only old brown. Now the brown is gone and all seems fine. Now I am just waiting for my OB appt Aug 7th a bot over a week away. Been knock on wood pretty uneventful since last week. Looking forward to seeing baby again.

6 weeks and can you say...

morning sickness?!?! Day 3 of morning sickness that is off and on all day, so far its manageable :) nothing toast doesn't fix for now too bad it took 2 days to figure this out) if it stays like this I can totally handle it! Today is exactly 6 weeks couple more weeks until my appt woohooo!! Not much else to say, I really didn't think I would start feeling sick this early! I am not complaining comes with the territory, and for that I am blessed.
