UPDATE

He is beautiful heathly and all mine. When I got back to my room from recovery. The BG brought him over and my sister gave him to me and said 'there's your auntie jan'. K so this new for her too.

My milk still hasen't come in yet and so the little guy is on formula right now. At every feeding we try him on each brest for about 15 to 20 min and if he doen't get anything then we give him formula. The nurses here have been awesome. They taught mewhat to look for when he has a good latch and stuff like that.

The BG's mum arrives today. She will be coming by tommorrow. So I'm going to have a nap. I'll post more later

WE HAVE FAILURE 2 INDUCE

Walked in and said ' well it's up 2 you but I think that we have a failure 2 induce and we can talk C section.' Well I almost kissed the man. I was wondering how long my other dr was going to beat this dead horse. So I'm scheduled 2 go in tommorrow to have this baby taken out. So now I'm going to bed cause my ankles are the size of cantalope and I'm pooped. TTFN

PICS FROM THE FIRST TIME THEY TRIED TO INDUCE ME

So these are photo's from the first time that they tried to induce me..... so Monday Morning... I figured that I had better post these while I have the energy and I remember....



So this photo was takin by V at 6:30 in the morning and no that isn't our car... the truck was in the shop and it was a loaner from a friend.... thank you Jon... we ended up being late anyway.... we figured that we would be anyway

So we get there and check in.... we met my sister along the way and she took the rest of the pictures.... we are hooked up tot he fetal monitor to make sure that Juniors heart beat was ok and just as we thought it was perfect... he was quite active thought... The BG had to hold the heart monitor in place cause he kept moving around and we kept losing the signal...

they put in a Cervadil and that thing hurt.... I was in the middle of a cramp and the BG let me lean on him for support... what a sweetie... love the hospital gown huh

So this is the end of day one and I was dog ass tired.... My sister went and got me a tea... and we ended up playing cards for a bit.... they shot me up with demoral that night so that i could sleep and they would try again tommorrow... over that whole three day ordeal...nothing happened... I didn't even dialate a little... they released me on wednesday night and I went back Saturday and had a 4 hour nap... they where short staffed and couldn't try to induce me... they let me go with a weekend pass and they want me back tommorrow morning.... So Maybe.. hopefully no later then tuesday night I will have a baby.... I'll post more when I can

Night

NOTHING YET AGAIN

Ok... so today was me having a nice 4 hour nap at the hospital....

Went in like they told me, got readmitted and went up to the maternity ward and looked at my new nurse said 'I know the drill, give me the gown...' put it on and left a sample inthe bathroom.... she was about to ask me for it and I said 'left it on the ledge' and then proceeded to hook myself up to the Fetal monitor... she just looked at me like I was insane...

So the Dr. came in and examed me and said that he would look at the stafing situation and see if I could be induced... waited about 4 hours, got a nap and in the mena time another woman had come in fully dialated and was screaming her head off.... so they where looking after her... my nurse came in around lunch and told me i got to go back home.... and to coem back monday.... I told her that they where full on monday and she said that a spot had opened up... I said k... got dressed and left... called my mum and she said that she would take me in....

Yee.... now something is going to be done.... I'm either going to have this baby or I'm going to carry it for a year.....

My mum freaks out on people so well... and i'm just so passive right now it is scary...

k.... Well i'm off to bed.... I might post more tommorrow

THREE DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL AND ALL I HAVE TO SHOW FOR IT IS A CRAMP IN MY ASS

So that was completely piontless and pretty painful....

Day 1 they gave me a Cervadil....kinda looks like a tampon and goes behing my cervix... suspossed to release a hormon or chemical that will ripen or thin out my cervix.... nope that didn't work.... spent the day wondering why they heck it felt like i had to pee every 2 minutes and why i couldn't take a deep breath.... My sister ended up walking me like I was a show pony.... yea there where some contrations but not the right kind.... felt like period cramps... and no dialating

Day 2 same thing...... found out that cervadil is also a broncial restrictor.... thats why i couldn't take a deep breath... had a few contractions and they where pretty painful and I was getting pretty tired... they contractions stopped at 4... the cervadil fell out at 6 I was home on a night pass and in bed by 7:30... still no dialating

Day 3.... nurses where glad to see that i was feeling better and well rested.... Dr. Gelled me and that worked pretty fast... within about an hour I was having full tummy contrations and some of them I even had to breath throught.... my sister did the show pony routine again and about 2 it all started to wear off.... talked to the Dr. at about 6 and was home in bed again... discharged this time....by 7:30

It was really weird this time... after I got in the car and was on my way home with my sister everythign started to tense up and stay that way and it was pretty pianful... thought I would be back in the hospital by midnight.... but I'm not.... thought my water broke once... had Jason come up and put a towel on the bed for me to sit on when I sat up and there was nothing... I had rolled over and felt a pop.... guess it was my hip...

well it's 2:30 and the dogs needed to go out and pee that is why i'm up.... but i'm going back to bed now.... I have some pictures and I'll post more laer today..... have a good one and I'll talk to you later

TODAY IS THE DAY

Hey there

So today is the big day......

I will be posting from my Blackberry throught out the day so wish me luck and have a great day.

SORRY.. BEEN AWHILE

So I ended up canceling my dr. appt on monday and rescheduling for thursday..... canceled that cause the mechanic that was working on the truck in Ponoka thought that the BG was an idiot and told him that the front shocks were toast and the drive shaft was bent.... and of course the BG new better so we ended up going there to argue with him... and the BG won, or course.

Also on that same day I thought I was going into labour cause I was baking, standing in the rain in a tee-shirt and a good wind blowing and I was burning up... now I know how my mother feels.... anyway and then I was really tired but at the same time my legs wanted to run a marathon.. and I felt like I was going to puke... and then to top it all off, and i didn't even reailze what was going on till my mother connected the dots for me, my tummy started to have muscle aches off an on... called mum and then she connected A to B for me and then I started timing the aches and they where about 20-25 minutes apart... and they stopped after about 2.5 hours..... that day also I was on the toilet that day every 1.5 hours going to the bathroom and I had enought gas to power a 747.... and there where times the BG didn't know if it was me or the the Fuzz, turned out to be me every time....

Went to see the Dr. in Red Deer today and he poked and proded again... asked him if there was any change and he said no.... then he said that he was goign to call the hospital to see if there was an opening for me to be induced this week..... I was like HELL YEAH..... he called the hospital and he said there was an opening on Monday.... like in two days monday.... It worked out perfectly for him.... He was going to be there for surgery and there was a space... I'm so stoked.... he is going to gel me and see what happens,

My mum was all worried that he was going to put me on the drip right away... but he said that he was only going to do that if the gel worked and he was able to break my water.... so she was releaved... called my sister and she is going to be here Sunday afternoon to come in with me and My other Sister i haven't been able to tell yet cause I haven't talked to her.... I'll try again tommorrow...

Also asked if the Dr. could guess about the weight of the baby and he said not with the size that i am.. but he would send me for an Ultrasound... and he has on in his office.... so he got his tech to take me in right away and let me tell you this guy was awesome.... the last ultrasound I had the tech wouldn't talk to me and she was really stuffy... this guy joked and showed me everything.... and expained everything to me and was just great altogether.... He even got me a pic of the baby's face.... unfortunity the little dude has got my nose... oh well.... he'll deal with it... and he was a firm beliver in the whole measure twice thing.... and he guessed that the baby will be over 8lbs... YES.... that was what I was hoping for.... and it looks like the head is about 9 cm in diameter... so according the laws of physics... if I have this baby naturally it will fit.... you have no idea how releaved I was when I saw those measurements....

So then it hit me that I still need some baby stuff... so V and I went shopping.... picked up some more baby stuff and when my sister comes down on Sunday she will bring more of her old baby clothes.... so I should be covered... well I'm going to bed now cause i'm pooped....

I'll write more tommorrow

K...I'M DONE WITH THIS NOW

this whole pregnancy thing... I'm finished with it... I thought it was cute at first and then kinda fun... but i'm done now... I just want to be comfortable.. and be able to roll over without waking up and my hips killing me..... and this peeing every 5 minutes thing... i'm done with that too...

I just want my water to break and labour to start so that i can just be finished this part, and get started on the next part....

Well nothing new is going on over here... On Sunday the BG's cousins came and took us to see the drag races at Budweiser Park in Edmonton... unfortunity (and please not the sarcasim) they where rained out... so we went to Ikea and then to West Edmonton Mall.... I walked all over that mall.. If my Dr. ever complains about my blood pressure again i'm going to smack the man.... I just don't walk as fast as I used to.. so every now and then they would forget I was there and then start power walking... then someone would remember and quickly spin around to make sure that I was still following.. and the other to would see him spin around and then they would remember and they would stop and wait for me to catch up...... It was funny watching all the lights come on....

Went for Dinner and chinese Buffet and that was good... Came home and was in bed by 10:30 and lets face it... that doesn't happen fro me to often...

They where a couple of Braxton Hicks but nothing serious... and I was wearing my uncomfortable preganancy pants so junior was moving all day and kicking up a fuss....

He didn't move to much yesterday... I think he was glad I stayed inmy nightgown all day.. he had room to move... and I stayed off my feet... I was sussposed to have a dr. appt yesterday but I rescheduled for thursday @ 3:00. Couldn't bring myself to get out of bed....

well that is all for now.... I'll post more later

TTFN

AND THE DR. SAID..........

I'm still pregnant...... it felt so good to hear that come from a professional.... and as my mothers friend said.... and they do call it a practice.

Anyway this time the man had my records... asked soem more meaning full questions this time and poked and proded in all the usual spots.... He said that if I was at all dialated today that he would arange for me to be induced... well I'm not dilated at all..... DAMN IT..... I WANT TO BEND OVER.... So i'm going back in to se him next week and find out what the verdict is then..... and he said that next time my braxton hicks start like that I'm to keep them going cause that will bring on labour....

I see my regular Dr. monday and I have no idea what he is going to tell me... I'll let you know....

NO I HAVEN'T HAD THE BABY YET

K... so it has been a few days....

My sister came and went and she had a faboulos time.... She was able to leave the kids at her inlaws house so she came alone... and she loved every minute... between two kids, working two jobs and a husband that, well lets just say that he and I don't get along very well, she needed three days to sleep.... the nursery was pretty much done when she arrived anyway...

We played cards, drank tea, bullshited and slept... it was great..... We have a new visitor in the house... her name is Tisha.... pure breed rotwhiler with bad dental work.... really nice dog... great personality and all she wants to do is go home... Her owner is working on the pipepline and my mum was looking after her and then she went away so my little bro was sussposed to except he can't seam to keep is tiny, nonexsist ass at home and she was locked in the house all day with no company.... So my sister picked her up on the way to my house.... she now at least has some compnay and a bed to sleep on... well we brought her bed but she seams to like the spareroom better.... hey I ain't bitchin'.




Well the other night there was quiet a bit of exceitement over here... I was playing cards and then complained that my hip started to ache and I was just feling uncomfortable in my neather regions and my sis looked at me funny and told me to stand up and turn sideways... I did and looked down at my tummy and said ' hey didn't that used to be higher'. Sis got this huge grin on her face and siad that the baby dropped, even the BG noticed a difference... and about then the Braxton Hicks started... now up until this point I had a total of 5 and they lasted about 4-5 minutes and then that was it.... this time they where about 2-3 minutes apart and lasted about 30-40 seconds and a couple even brought a tear to my eye... this went on for about an hour. I was making dinner at the time so I just continued cause my pre-natal teacher said that exercise would make them go away.... so I kept working.... called my mum and freaked out a bit and she said sit down and put your feet up... did that and they stopped immediatly... you have no idea how happy I was.... Had a couple more throught out the night but that was about it.... and eveynow and then I have one but that is about it....

Went a rented movies the other night and I spotted a clock at the store that was for sale... It was a Metallica clock and anybody who knows the BG knows that Metallica is his favorite band... so he bought the clock.. looks great in the living room....



Well I'm off I need a nap and I have a Dr. Appt in Red Deer this afternoon... So i guess I check in later

TTFN

DON'T ASK ME WHAT I'M DOING UP THIS EARLY... CAUSE EVEN I DON'T KNOW

Hey there.... The BG went to Edson this morning and I got up to say goodbye.. that was at 4:30am it is now 6:30 am and I'm still up.... I was goign to go back to bed as soon as he left.. but that didn't work out...

Got on my PC and started a movie about the Fuzz.... haven't finished it yet.. i'll do that later on today so that I at least have something to do....

THE BG CAN BBQ A GOOD STEAK

Invited his friends from Ponoka over and he wanted a steak.... got some bulls eye steak sauce and baked potatoes and onions and made a ceasar salad and had a good dinner... made up for the agrument we had earlier... which I can't even remember what it was about....

Might be looking after another dog for a littlewhile.... My mum has this border and he has a dog... nice dog... mum really likes her... pure breed rottwiler.... is the most gentle thing i've ever come across.. well mum's on the island... the owner is working on a pipline and my bro doesn't seam to want to stay home.... I told mum I'd take her till she got home.... give the Fuzz some company and she has someone to hang around with... and the fuzz and her get along just fine anyway...

Speaking of dogs... the Fuzz has taken to rolling in the dirt... no big deal except after she rolls she likes to come in the house and check what i'm doin... and then I see her and chase her out... damn dog... I want her in and she won't stay in... I want her out and she won't leave... love her to death though

Well it hasn't been very busy over here lately.... the BG goes to Edson tommorrow.... but he might be back... My sister arrives tommorrow to help me with the Nursey finish setting it up and stuff and she stays till friday morning and then I have a Dr. Appt on friday.. V is taking me to that... other than that my main goal is to stay off my feet as much as possible... and to mow my lawn.... I've got a hay field out there... we are considering cows or goats..... no just kidding.. I just have to find a lawn mower...
