Baby Avy Updates!

2011-11-08T16:10:00.001-05:00

Little Avy is almost three months old now!!

He loves to suck on his little fingers and hands. He's not big on a pacy and I'm hoping I don't have a future thumb sucker on my hands!! Avy is holding his head up on his own now for the most part. He is completely obsessed with cartoons -- more specifically, King of the Hill. He is glued to the screen if we put it on for him! :) He LOVES to stare at himself in the mirror. We get big grins and coos when he's looking at himself. I can't say I blame him. He's pretty loveable...

I dressed him up as a bat for Halloween. He was absolutely adorable and I got to show him off at Hebron's Fall Festival shindig they put on every year. We've already had to pack up our newborn clothes and he is now in 3 month attire.

Bath time!! Such fun :)

All snazzified for Aunt Leah's wedding :)

I'll update again soon! The holidays are fast approaching and I'm so looking forward to making memories with my sweet little boy!

Happy Tuesday!! <3<3

GREAT song....I've had it in my head for weeks now....literally........................you're welcome :):)

Happy Friday!!

So, there's this boy.....

2011-09-29T12:12:00.002-04:00

Hellllooooo to my blogging buddies! It's been a minute! I've been a little busy, so I apologize for not updating sooner than this. Staying at home with a little one doesn't give you as much free time as you'd think!!

Speaking of which......HE'S HERE!!! My little boy made his debut on August 24 at 6:18 pm weighing in at 7lbs after baking for 41 weeks in Mommy's belly :) Brett and I named him Avy Preston Daniel and he is absolute perfection. Labor was a breeze for the most part.... we went to the hospital on Tuesday night, the 23rd. They gave me a couple of pills to start softening my cervix that night but we didn't really see any action until Dr. Pohl broke my water around 9 the next morning. It didn't take long for those contractions to get pretty intense and I had my epidural about two hours after they broke my water. It worked GREAT until I hit about 8cm (around 4pm, I think??). Then it wore off and I felt EVERY little pain. The nurse re-dosed me a couple of times, but nothing really worked after that, so while labor wasn't too bad, delivery was not quite as easy. I felt it ALL.

Delivering Avy was hands down the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I remember telling my Mom more than once that I didn't think I was going to be able to get through it. People will tell you it's the worst pain they've ever experienced and I would agree wholeheartedly. It sucks. It really sucks. But the pain is completely worth it in the end ;o)

Since Avy's arrival I've been doing the new Mommy thing and that's literally all I have time for right now. It's crazy how much time and attention they require. I'm loving every minute of it and I HATE to think about going back to work in a few weeks. Blah. But money is nice to have (HA) and I'm not the 'stay at home' type anyway.

I'll leave you with a few pictures of my sweet little thang. I'll try to update month by month now so that I can keep everyone informed of what's going on with Avy.

Happy Thursday!!

I may just lose it......

When I was about 34 weeks pregnant, I made a comment to one of my other preggo buddies about how I was starting to feel worn down and, well, kinda crappy. She just laughed and told me to wait until I hit my 37th or 38th week.....

I was 38 weeks yesterday. Someone needs to get this child out of my body. I'm pretty sure all of my ribs are rearranged, I have heartburn constantly, I can't imagine that my bladder will ever be the same after being smooshed down for weeks and the hormones are raging ( if you couldn't already tell :) )!! Top that off with insomnia and contractions that aren't steady but are pretty strong and you've got yourself a recipe for an unhappy girl....

I'm TRYING to remind myself that I need to enjoy these last few days of being by myself, but it's difficult. I feel bad....

Sorry this post is not very sunshiney!! The next time I post will probably be to introduce you all to my son, so it'll be a happy one for sure!

Happy Thursday......

Baby "Bump"

2011-06-21T13:45:00.000-04:00

A picture is worth a thousand words......whew, dunno how much bigger I can get!! Only eight more weeks!! <3<3

Happy Tuesday!!

Pregnancy progress.....and other things :)

2011-05-27T10:08:00.001-04:00

Unbelievably, I have just entered the first week of my third trimester......not long now!

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and my doctor showed me (with a measuring tape) how much bigger this gut was going to get before Baby Boy makes his debut in August.....whew! I don't know how I'm going to stretch that much more! LOL :)

Things are perfect with the baby, his development, etc., and his weight is measuring just a little over the norm (figures!! haha). I'm so thankful that he's healthy!! Still no name yet, and I'm starting to freak out about that a little....I can't find one that I'm completely happy with...we'll see! We may be calling him 'hey you' if I can't get my act together and decide!

In other news, the tranny on the Honda went out on me about three weeks ago. It's still not fixed (hopefully this weekend!) and that's wearing on me a little...(there goes the money I put aside for my baby/hospital bills). It feels like I've been VERY tested this month....when it rains it pours! Somebody told me the other day that you're never given more than you can handle. In other words, have faith. Something I struggle with. I like control. I like to know what to expect. Welcome to the real world, Ms. Parker..

I'm moving yet again this weekend. This is the fifth or sixth time in five years, I think?? Ugggh, over it. Hopefully I'll stay put for a while once this move is done but I'm NOT looking forward to all the "fun" we get to have this weekend making that happen :o)

Hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend! Call me, I'll be knee deep in boxes, if you need something to occupy your time! lol :)

Happy Friday!!

Random Friday Rant.....

2011-04-29T13:20:00.001-04:00

Some people really aren't worth it, if you stop and think about it.

In my opinion, the BEST thing you can do is hold tight to those close to you. Don't take them for granted and treat them like you expect to be treated.

Let everyone else go. Every person I've ever had pass through my life has shown their true colors eventually. The ones who are worth keeping are very few and very far between. But they're still around. They've stuck by through thick and thin. Those are the ones that are worth it in the end.

If you have to screw the people you "love" over, it's time to give yourself a little evaluation. Check your morals and your standards. Remember that your feelings aren't the only ones that matter in this world.

Happy Friday.

Happy April Fools Day!!

Now, where is spring!?!?!?!? This cold weather is KILLIN' me! I'm really ready for sunshine and sandals :)

We went to the doctor yesterday for our 20 week ultrasound. After LOTS of waiting and nail biting, we found out we're having a BOY!!

Let the shopping begin :) Now that we know what he is, we can finally start planning and really getting ready for little guy's arrival. I have no clue on names yet....the only one I've thought of is a family name and I haven't even mentioned that to Brett ;o) We'll see!!

Little baby profile -- so sweet :)

Yep, ALL BOY!

Little tiny foot :)

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!! Sunday is supposed to be nice if you're in this area -- wooooooo!

Happy Friday!! GO TEAM BLUE!!!!

Where'd the blog go??????

2011-03-18T11:45:00.000-04:00

It's me, it's me!! Your M.I.A. blogging pal.....

Yes, I know it's been forever.

Yes, I know I have cleared the blog completely!!

I deleted everything on a whim a couple of weeks ago......I felt like my posts weren't really me anymore. I've changed and grown as a person so darn much over the last eight or ten months that when I looked back and read my previous posts, it didn't feel like me.

And speaking of growing.......

I am going to be a Mommy :):):)

I am due on August 17 and I can't wait to meet this little person who's made me so very sick and achy the last five months.

Finding out I was pregnant was a shock to say the very least. I found out on December 20th and I still don't think it's actually sunk in that I'm going to be responsible for another human life yet. Talk about something that will change your outlook on things.....I worry about things I never used to worry about now. Things that could happen, things that could go wrong, all kinds of crazy stuff goes on in this head of mine..and the things that I used to think were so important, the things I used to worry about, are no longer an issue. I know I have no clue yet of what it really means to be a parent and to feel that kind of love, but I'm looking forward to experiencing it. This little bean is already every part of my existence and it's really insane that something can take over your life like this....but it has.

We find out whether we're having a boy or a girl on the 31st of this month. Everybody is on the Team Pink wagon right now (myself included) but a little boy would make me just as happy.

Thanks for hangin' in there with me while I've been gone!

Thank God work has been busy and I haven't had a lot of time to update lately. I hope everyone is doing well :)

Enjoy this FANTASTIC weather we're being blessed with this weekend!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!

:o)
