2 MONTHS!!

Aiden is now 2 months old! I can't believe how fast it went. He had his 2 month checkup today and he is perfect! He also got 3 shots today. He did a lot better than I did. Zach held him while I left the room. I could hear him scream when they were giving him the shots and of course I cried....shhh Zach was holding the tears back himself. Aiden actually did better than us both. He only cried for about 30 seconds after his shots then fell asleep the whole way home.

Developmentally he is changing too. This week Zach and I noticed that he tries to watch TV. haha, he just ignored it before and now, he turns his head to look at the light box! He can totally get his thumb in his mouth to suck but it doesn't satisfy him (too small I think), he has much better control of his hands and sucks on them to soothe himself (gave one hand a hickey the other day), and he laughs at things that I say to him. He is laughing all the time now, I love knowing that he is a happy baby...all is right in my world as long as that boy is smiling :)
As for sleeping patterns, here is his sleep schedule as of now: bottle at 8:00, lay him down at 9 or 9:30 (swaddled of course), he wakes at about 4:30 or 5 (at times even 6!) to eat, and then goes back to sleep until 8 or 9. Such a good little newborn :) I'm soo thankful for him! Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Growth spurt! (7 weeks!)

GROWTH SPURT! Aiden is my little piggy these days! He used to go three hours between feedings with no problem but now, he is rooting and crying by 2! So, I just feed him and, well, he grows!Also, I had my 6 week doctor's appointment last week and he said everything looks great. He released me to do all physical activity...so here comes the workout which I must admit is SO hard to get motivated over :( But, at least I won't have to see my OB again until my check up in ONE YEAR. That is so weird to think about after getting used to seeing a doctor for pretty much every other week during my pregnancy. A welcome change. Although, I will say that Zach has other plans...he came to me the other day with the "best" idea (he proclaimed it as the best idea, not me). "Baby, do you realize that if we got pregnant again right now, our kids would be in the same grade?!? Let's do it!" Don't worry, after I picked myself off the floor from laughing hysterically, I smacked him :) But I know that secretly, the boy is serious! For now, I'll just enjoy the sweet little boy I have already!

We went and saw Santa this weekend and he LOVED him! He just sat on his lap and stared at him the whole time! It was soo cute! Although mommy was soooooo mad because she forgot her camera at home. :( I got a few on my phone but it takes a lot of time to upload them so if I get a minute I will be sure to do so!

Another update! (1month 2weeks and 1day!)

Well, it officially snowed this weekend, BOO! I am a warm weather kind of girl, but I will say that all these hormones are making me more hot natured and I actually don't mind the cool snap we're having :) The weather getting colder is not helping motivate me to lose the rest of my baby weight. If I am just going to have to cover up all of my hard work with big sweaters, I might as well wait until summer to work out right?!? haha. Nah, P90X is about to be my best friend :(

At 6 weeks old we decided to try Aiden in his crib at night, all alone in his very own room without us...I felt so sad about this. I loved having him so close to me in his little Bassinet but as a mother, my success is determined by the fact that I raise my children to be independent of me. I hate that though, I want him to NEED me. But, I know he will be better off if he can survive on his own. Plus I figured it would be less traumatic to him if he got used to sleeping in his own room and bed while he is still young and doesn't know any better...it would be SO hard to put a 1 year old in his room and here him cry and call my name...it just wouldn't EVER happen at that point...
Turns out, he did great! We have the sound monitor, the video monitor AND the breathing monitor all hooked up in there so you would think I would just relax and get some sleep. But, I was just so frazzled that first night without him. I just stared at the video monitor all night long and kept going in there to check on him. But each night since then has gotten soooo much easier. He loves his crib and I LOVE that little boy! Plus I don't have to worry about the noise Zach and I make disturbing him any more :)Well, that is all for now, I can’t believe Aiden is a month and a half!

I am thankful for my beautiful little family, my mom dad and sisters (and my new soon to be brother in-law! Congrats Natalie!) all my friends and family that have helpd me through the past 10 months, my health, Aidens health, Zachs health! My amazing house! And sooo much more!!

1 MONTH OLD!!!

Woah! How did we get here so fast? My sweet baby is ONE MONTH OLD already. I need to know how to slow time down a bit. Well, one solution is to get as much of this on video as possible so, Zach and I are ordering a really cool HD camera so that we can have baby Aiden forever...even when he's 16.

I started pumping this week. I don't love the act of pumping but I DO love that Zach can now get in on the feeding game :) And I love that when we are out and about, I have another option of feeding him. Speaking of which, Aiden got his first bottle this week as well. I was afraid he wouldn't take it, as most moms warn you, but she wasted no time chowing down that sucker. And he hasn't had any confusion when I breastfeed him regularly either. So now, his last feeding every night is a bottle and his daddy gets to feed it to him, unless there is a visitor that wants to help and daddy doesn't mind.

I have to share the two best thing ever! His white noise machine and his swing!

White Noise Machine: Aiden loves background noise. I guess it's because for the first few weeks of his life he ALWAYS had a visitor and there were always people chatting in the background. So, a friend of ours gave us a noise maker that I turn on during sleep times and, he loves it, goes right to sleep :) Although, I am looking for a more portable version, ours is quite large. I'm suddenly sorry I made fun of Jill for giving me it. :)

His Swing: This kid LOVES to swing. Since he is quite an alert baby, he only naps a couple times a day (which is not a lot for a kid so young) so the only way I get a shower some days is to put him in his swing. He will sit forever (if I'd let him) in that thing just swinging away. He likes to pick one spot on the wall and stare at it as he goes back and forth listening to his classical music. Most babies go to sleep in their swings but not Aiden, he is too excited to see everything pass him by over and over again...he's so darn cute.
In "not so good" news...I left Aiden for the first time :( I went to the store to get some cloths that fit since I am out of maternity clothes but still don’t fit into my “pre-pregnancy” cloths :( and left him with daddy. He did great! But I have never been so ready to stop shopping and get home!
So, he is back to sleeping better again. Well, this week he slept 6 1/2 hours, then 7 1/2 hrs, then 9 hours straight! Without a feeding. Now, this is not an every night thing yet but, it's progress for sure. Not like it really matters how long he sleeps, if he doesn't wake up to eat, I have to get up and pump regardless so, no rest for mommy :(

And the last cute things he started this week was screaming "ah!" He'll be sitting in his swing and if he is ready to get out, instead of crying, he yells, "ah!" haha. It's really cute. He does it periodically. Sometimes it's a mad "Ah" and sometimes it's happy "Ah".

Summary of one month with baby Aiden: I am blessed to be his mommy. He is making me paranoid beyond belief. I adore every inch of his body. I have never loved anything/anyone more! And I CAN NOT believe that he is a month old!

3 Weeks!

Aiden is changing so much it seems. I know if I, his mother, who is with him every waking hour, can see it, then it must be evident to everyone else out there. It makes me excited to see who he will grow in to and look forward to all the things he's learning how to do. But, really sad at the same time, I want him to stay little forever! I want to be able to cuddle him whenever I want... I have to run because Aiden wants to eat!! :)


The next post will be his ONE MONTH post! I can't believe it already.

2 WEEKS!! AHHHH!!!!!

I Love my BABY!!! It is so fun having him around!! I LOVE being a mommy!! This week we got Aiden’s newborn pictures done which was so fun! I don’t have all of them right now but I have a few.

Now to another subject: DINNER! Our parents and friends have been awesome. From buying us groceries to bringing us home cooked meals, I seriously don't know what we would have done without them. I mean there were nights when I didn't even think of what we would have for dinner until they showed up at our door with food...I then thought, "Oh yeah, I guess we need to eat". So thank you if you were one of our many contributors!

At the beginning of this week, Zach returned to work and my mom came back to help me while he was there. We took Aiden on his first trip out of the house (besides the hospital). You'll never guess the exciting place we went...THE BANK! Booo! We'll it had to be done, I feel he will now be a responsible citizen of our country. I couldn't let that be his only impression of the outside world sooo, we went to Target too! A few days later, he got to go to Chilis for lunch!! Woo hoo! I don't know what I would have done without my mom and I think that with her help, by the end of the week, Zach and I were prepared to do the parenting thing ourselves. Whew!

My computer is being stupid so I can't upload pictures right now... they will be asap! Promise!

My baby is 1 week old already!!

So, we have settled in. My mom stayed with us the first day to help us and then left to see how we could do things on our own. We actually did really well. It helped that our child is PERFECT! I mean really, he is quite the angel baby. He slept through the night only waking for feedings and then went right back to sleep, from the beginning. I am soo thankful for that. (I'll write more about this in the coming weeks). Before we left the hospital Aiden was diagnosed with Jaundice so we had to load him up and take him back to the hospital everyday to get bloodwork drawn until the situation cleared up, luckily it didn't take long and she only had to get poked 3 extra times after we returned home. I will admit that the first night home was the scariest. I had a minor, okay major breakdown. Here is what happened. When we got home we tried a new pacie, a tiny one we refer to as "binky". Aiden could actually keep this one in his mouth! So we were loving Binky, at first. Later that day, I went to feed Aiden and he wouldn't latch on, he has been a great latcher and eater from the very beginning so I couldn't understand after all those days and nights in the hospital why he just wouldn't cooperate now! I blamed it on the Binky, it must have given his nipple confusion right?!? So, I banned anyone from giving him the binky and we stuck to the good ole Soothie pacie instead (you have to hold the darn thing in his mouth). So, a couple more feedings went down that way and I was frustrated and worried. He cried (which he never does) so hard and I know it was because he wasn't eating enough. He started arching his back and doing a few other odd things. At about 1:00 that morning, when he wouldn't latch on for that feeding either, I did what no new mother should do...I got on the internet and all of his symptoms lined up with a kind of brain damage caused by Jaundice. I burst into tears, woke up Zach and insisted that we take him to the doctor right then. Zach went and got my mom from the other room and I was hysterical. There was nothing they could say or do, I just KNEW my little boy was suffering from brain damage and I had to get him help. Mom convinced me to call the pediatrician and she assured me that his billirubin levels were not high enough to cause this type of brain damage. I also told her about the new "latching on" issues and she informed me that my milk had come in (I surely didn't know it) and that the baby was used to latching on to a soft surface that is now rock hard...a warm compress or pumping should fix the problem. Sure enough, it worked! I stayed up and stared at him the rest of the night. In fact, I did that my first few nights as a mother. So, even though HE was a good sleeper, I was not.

I will take this time to plug the AngelCare Baby Movement Monitor! I don't know what i would do without this sucker. You put it under the baby's mattress and it detects his breathing. It sends an alarm if he has stopped breathing for more than 20 seconds.....Wow, it really works, I promise! And it is the only way I’ve gotten any sleep so far.




Here is a few pictures of him but I promise I will post more soon!

Labor and Delivery

Yes our precious little Aiden Michael was born on October 22, 2009 at 1:42PM. He weighed 8 lbs 4ozand was 20 inches long. I don't even know where to begin and I have already welled up just thinking about his little journey into life.

First I just have to say that the love I have for Aiden is so overwhelming it’s hard to control my emotions just thinking of him. I now know how every parent feels for their child....including mine. This is one of the reasons we are on this earth and it is just so beautiful. I have also found a new love for Zach. Just watching him with Aiden is the most amazing thing...he is already such a great daddy and Aiden is only 1 day old. I don't know what I would ever do without him.

So while I have some quiet time at the hospital I thought I would tell you what has happened so far. First off let me tell you labor SUCKS! But at about 7AM I woke up with some mild contractions. I kind of just kept an eye on them and went on with my normal morning routine. At about 8AM they still were getting more intense so I thought I better call Zach at work. We talked and decided that I would call my mom to come over with me and Zach would come home soon. So I called my mom and she came over. At about 9AM I felt my water break and new I needed to get ready to go to the hospital. Zach got home quick and he took me to the hospital while my mom picked up my little sister from school and my big sister from home and met us at the hospital.

When we got there I got checked in right away and put in a room. They checked me soon after and I was dilated to 4. I was in so much pain already it was ridiculous. I was seriously balling. I asked for an epidural right away and it took 1 ½ for the guy to get to me. I was livid! J I feel bad for Zach, my mom and sisters J. But finally he got there and was my hero! About 4 hours later it started to wear off and I got miserable again. They checked me again and I was about 9 cm dilated! They called the doctor and had me start to push. That was so hard!

So after about an hour of pushing, Aiden Michael was born at 1:42 PM! That had to be on of the best moments of my life seeing my baby boy that I waited 9 months for for the first time. I broke down in tears and was sooo happy.

We are all doing great! Aiden is sleeping and my mom and Zach went home for a few hours to get some rest. I have had soo many visitors already and I’m sure more to come tomorrow. It was so nice to see people I love come to support me. I think I am coming home Sunday if all goes well. I will try to post pictures soon. I don’t know what it will be like but I will try to very soon.

Thank you to everyone who has been there for me and put up with me. I love you!

37 WEEKS!!!!!!!!

Say hello to i'msotiredican'tfunction. Say hello to icouldnotpickmyfeetoutofalineupifitried. Hello idrinknon-stop. Hi thereissomuchtodobutican'tmakemyselfdoit.


I tried to paint my own toenails his week. I thought I could do it with my patented rocking motion, but I ended up just throwing nail polish at my toes and hoping it would land on "non-skin". Most of it didn't. So Nat and I headed to get a MUCH NEEDED pedicure. Another accomplishment on my list...I shaved my legs! If I missed any spots...I certainly can't see them, so, it doesn't count!


I did get to meet our pediatrician. I scheduled a "get to know you" appointment with the most recommended baby doctor in Pace and I see why she is...she was great! She answered all my questions and acted like she was really glad I wanted to meet her early :) I was feeling a little dumb about it so I'm glad she reassured me.


Zach joined me for our last newborn parenting class and it was pretty cool. They had a pediatrician there who taught us all about the immunizations, what they were, why people worry about them, and when our baby would get each one. It was nice to know. He also answered all the questions everyone had. They didn't make Zach change a diaper but he will!

Zach and I are SOOOOO excited! We can not wait!
ONLY 3 MORE WEEKS!!!!
ONLY 21 MORE DAYS!!!

Dr. Appt Today

At our appointment today we got to see Aiden again :) I love watching him. But, the ultrasounds are getting much less interesting, he can't move as much cause he is packed in there (I don't realize how tightly he is packed until I see it sometimes), and you can only fit very small parts of his body on the screen, so, they are getting harder to make out. Not to mention his head dropped way below my hip bones so we couldn't even get a good picture of his face this time, no profile picture at all :( So, all that was to say, we have ultrasound pictures but, they aren't very good. But the good, and scary news is...he weighs 6 lbs!! And the entire time he was practicing breathing, the tech was very impressed with him. Don't all parents think their kid is advanced? haha

5 WEEKS AND 3 DAYS!!!!!

34 Weeks!!

34 weeks brings exhaustion. Swollen feet. the waddle. I'm so happy to be in this place, even with all the "conditions" that accompany it. Well, it's offical, this last week he DROPPED. Now I feel as if there is a watermelon between my legs at all times (TMI?) which accounts for the new waddle I've picked up and the ever-present groan I let out every time I go from sitting to standing. Dr. said I am not dialating yet so, Aiden's debut will not be this week :( Sleep is not very possible as muscles are aching in the front, bones are aching in the back, my hips hurting because they are so loose, and the bladder, well...Aiden has let her know that there ain't enough room in this town for the both of them.

Funny story, I went to see my regular OB this week. I had been running errands all day and was wearing jeans...it was SO hot. I put my legs up in the stirrups and literally, at the same time, Zach and I said, "Holy Shit!". My feet looked like water balloons, and each little toe an individually tightly packed sausage. haha, I am trying to drink more water and kick my feet up (but there is SOOO much to do and I feel like I am running out of time!)

Zach is on belly button watch. He is constantly checking to see if it has turned inside out. It still has a way to go. I don't think it will. It's pretty close to flattening out, but, I'm not counting on seeing an outtie :)

ONLY 6 MORE WEEKS!!!!!!!!
OMG 6 more weeks doesn't seem that long!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment please!

30 week Doctors Appt.

Alright now, the weight gain is getting a little ridiculous. I really don't think I am "supposed" to be putting on this much weight. I really do NOT make good, healthy eating choices anymore at ALL and I eat even when I'm not hungry. I need to do better I think, but it's so hard...

So, Tuesday we had another appointment with the doc. We got to see our baby boy again, I love seeing him, he's MINE all MINE! Grandma got to come see him live for the first time as well. The bigger babies get the less you can see all their movements on the ultrasound, because you can't look at there whole body at once...so, we have to try to piece together what he is doing in there. He had the hiccups for the majority of the time, ultrasound tech said that is good because it proves his breathing functions work...who knew? Well, they do, cause he gets the hiccups ALL the time!

We're back to no sleep, I mean, none, tossing and turning and muscle pain and backaches. Oh, I know she is so worth it . My eyes is on the prize! :)

ONLY 10 MORE WEEKS!!!!!

29 Weeks!!

Things are still going great and i am feeling good. i have some minor hot sweaty flashes but that's pretty much it. Zach and i started lamaze class and it is a lot of fun. it is definitely helping us prepare for baby Aiden's arrival. we also had our hospital tour a few days ago so we now know where to go when it's time. going to all these labor things made me realize that Zach has a huge responsibility on delivery day.....lots and lots of things to remember and do. i know he will be great but i am kind of glad all i have to do is breath and push :-) that's about it for now. we have a dr. appt on tuesday so if we find out anything worth sharing i will be sure to do so.

Chilling

Not much has been happening around here so I don't really have anything to say so I'll updated soon.

Friday, August 7, 2009

Doctor Appointment

So I went to the doctors today and they said that the contractions I was having were prob. braxton Hicks contractions, which are not bad they are just preparing you for the real thing. Things that can trigger Braxton Hicks are:
  • when you or your baby is very active
  • heavy exertion or exercise, especially carrying things
  • sexual intercourse
  • dehydration

so he said that he didn't want to call it "bed rest" because I can do things just I have to watch how much I do at one time. And he said if I get more than 5 in one hour I should call him. But other than that baby Aiden and I are doing good.

Went to the hospital last night

Last night at about 11:30pm I started having some pain in my stomach off and on until about 12:30am. We were worried but when it stopped we thought we would just call the doctor in the morning. So we tried to go to sleep but at about 1:00am it started again so we called the hospital and they told me we should come in. We got to the hospital at 1:30 am and they hooked me up to everything and monitored me all night. I was having contractions but they stopped again at 3:45 am. They continued to monitor me until 8:00 am and then told me that they were going to put me on bed rest, so I am limited to activity they said it should be only about 5-6 hours of activity a day. I got discharged from the hospital around 8:45 am. Zach and I came home and got a little rest and we are soooo happy and thankful that baby Aiden is still inside of me and still healthy. I have to go to the doctor tom so i will update soon.
Right now I am going to get some more rest I am so emotionally drained I haven't cried that much since i found out i was pregnant.

Our last doctors appointment

Our last doctors appointment at 22 weeks our doctor confirmed that he is definitely healthy!!! yippee!! he has all his parts....placed properly and working correctly. she was able to rule out spinal bifida and there were no signs of down syndrome. she was able to show us our baby in 4D!!! she gave us a bunch of photos of him in 4D. you can see his little nose and lips which i think is so cool. he weighs about 1.2 lbs and everything is in proper alignment for me to have a natural delivery.

i call this one his muscle man pose. He's flexing everywhere...

this is one of my favorites because you can almost see his whole
body. he has the cord in his hands...weird huh?

Hello

Hi everyone because we have so many great family and friends I decided to make this blog so everyone can come here and see what is happening with us. I will try and update this often, but we'll see how that goes when we have a newborn at our house. :)
