A Pregnancy Frustration.....

I am SO grumpy and frustrated right now. I didn't sleep all night cause I was in pain. This pressure is RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!! I had consistent contractions for 4 hours last night....then I went to bed. The contractions have stopped, but there's still cramping and enormous amounts of pressure. The thing that suck is that I can't sleep! If I could sleep really well it might be different. But I can't! Even while I sleep I feel the pressure. If this doesn't mean I haven't dilated more I'm going to scream! I need this kid out!!!!! I know I only have 9 more days, but STILL! If I can't sleep for any of those days....there's NO point!!!! Theo, of course isn't home. So I'm stuck home alone with Isaiah. I am literally at my whits end! :(

A Mother's Dream.....

So I thought I'd blog this. Because I'm sure in the future, I will look back on this and think it very entertaining! lol

So I was thinking this morning. After several efforts to sleep, about if I could have a wish...what would it be?! If I could just have the ideal day.....how exactly would it go?

Well, being that I'm 9mo pregnant and I have a 17mo son I'm sure you can guess at the top of that list is sleeping. But see,I wouldn't want to sleep the day away. I would LOVE one morning to wake up to quiet. Not to Isaiah either pounding on his baby gate or screaming "MUUUUUUUUMMMM" or crying! That in itself would just be SO nice! So this "ideal" day starts off waking up to quiet. Then I would roll over, prop myself up and reach for a working remote that turned on our working TV in our bedroom....that actually had cable. (basically there's a tv sitting there...but it has no cable, no remote and I don't even think it's plugged in)I would flip through the channels til I found something I liked. I would sit there for a bit, then pull out the laptop and check....you guessed it....my Facebook. After about 20min on FB, then a handsome young hot looking husband would bring me a hot breakfast in bed. Nothing special....just hot food that I didn't have to cook or get up and get, with a nice HUGE glass of pulp free orange juice! I would then devour my food. Of course at this point, I'm way past needing to empty my bladder. So I would then proceed to the bathroom and probably take a nice long shower. Uninterrupted by a little boy who always wants to join. Then I'd come back to bed and watch more tv. I might even stick a movie in the dvd player. (we have no dvd player here either) Then I'd doze off for a nap of about 2hours. I would be woken by the smell of a hot cooked lunch brought to me yet again, by a young hot husband. I would devour this meal as well. Then I'd pull out the laptop and play some useless games on Facebook. I'm sure at this point I'd definitely need a potty break, so I would then again, head off to the bathroom. Upon return, I'd come back to my bed turn on the tv and realize that a young hot husband has set a nice cup of hot tea and a little cake next to my bed. How thoughtful! I would spend the afternoon dozing off and on, watching tv, messing around on Facebook. Then for dinner....you guessed it....young hot husband would then make his appearance again with a trey filled with luscious food goodness for dinner. After stuffing my face for yet a 3rd time that day (wait....that's 4th after the tea and cake), I little clean boy would run in to give me "big hugs and lovvins" He would say "Momma!" and act like he missed me for more than 1 second. Then he'd nicely run out of the room. I would continue to watch tv and play on the laptop. Then around bedtime a hot young husband would join me in bed. We would do what hot young husband and wife do (wink wink), and we'd fall back asleep together....and live happily ever after!


Hahahahahaha! So right now....that day just sounds....Oh so sweet! I think I might like to add in there someone coming to massage my legs, feet, hands and arms....and maybe even back. I think that'd be nice. But....oh well. I do not live a fairy tale life. And as hard as it is sometimes, I wouldn't trade my little buggers (big and small) for any other buggers in the world! :)

Yes....My Eggo is Still Preggo!

So, I realized I hadn't updated my blog in awhile. hahaha! No, sadly it's not due to actually continuing labor and having a baby to take care of. I am still positive I went into labor...but apparently my body HATES birthing babies. So....little man pulled himself back up and decided to stay in a little longer. Which ultimately is good anyways. More gestating can never hurt. So I am now 36 weeks weeks and 3 days? Something like that. I have actually finally dilated and started to soften. BUT...I am doing a c-section now. Period. So, the good news is, if I go into labor...all I need to do is make sure it lasts above 2hrs and go to the hospital...if they agree I'm in labor (no matter how early on) I can go ahead and have a c-section. So I don't have to continue labor or worry about it stopping again. If he doesn't come any time soon....at the latest he will be here by hopefully Noon on September 8th! :) I'm SOOO excited! From today, that's only 19 days away! :) What a breeze! Being that I dilated already though, I'm hopefully I'll jump into labor and can go in a bit earlier. I'm SO surprised, as is everyone else, that I've made it this far. The Dr's really can't believe I'm still pregnant. The reason I decided to do a c-section from this point on is based on all the info I have now. I don't want to get myself in the same situation I did with Isaiah. Trying to labor then getting stuck, then having a c-section, then having a bad one cause they couldn't find him etc. Being that Collin is running big....I don't wanna risk laboring and having Dr's who really just will think it easier to do a c-section and not REALLY work hard enough to help me deliver vaginally. Also...I am unsure of the shape/size of my pelvis. I plan on finding out via x-ray after I have this baby so that next time I can make a better decision. But right now, I feel like my body grows extremely healthy babies, but HATES birthing them. So....Theo is in agreement with thinking this is the best plan. And we may find out I could've gone vaginally, but I feel very comfortable and at peace with this decision. Hopefully next baby will be vaginally though! :) Sooo...if you don't hear from me any time soon...more than likely we'll be having this baby September 8th! :)

Could It Be?

So, I figured I'd blog! LOL!!!! Early this morning around 6:30a.m. I woke up. Theo had woken me up accidentally when he kissed me good bye for work! He left this morning and won't be back til Wednesday morning. Anyways, I woke up and went to the bathroom! Low and behold I lost my mucus plug. This is after tossing and turning all night from vaginal pain and pressure. All day today, anything I ate came right back out through stools. Which is another tell-tell sign labor is becoming active. During the day, I cleaned the living room thoroughly, cleaned the kitchen as good as it's going to get, returned the movies in case something does happen I didn't have to worry about returning them on time, mailed our rent check and another box that was needing to be mailed, walked 1mi with Isaiah, bathed Isaiah, did some laundry, re-organized the baby toys in the living room and then after putting Isaiah to bed......I showered, shaved my legs, then did my hair in the half corn rows that I did when I had Isaiah. I've checked my hospital bag and besides pillows I'm pretty much set and ready to go. The only question...when to call Theo? All day all I had was a lower back ache and occasional cramping. Besides constant loose stools. Right as soon as I put Isaiah to bed, the cramping became more intense and started to turn more into contractions. So...I'm pretty sure I'm in labor now....I just can't exactly time them. I feel like they're 5min apart. I just can't figure out when to call Theo. So this is the current situation. lol It'll be funny to see how things turn out in the end. They could always stop all together. LOL!


Stay tuned....... :)

Isaiah Brent-16mo Update

So I figured even though Isaiah's not exactly 16mo, I would still do an update now in case Mr Collin decides to make his appearance any time soon.

As of 7-27-11 Isaiah Brent will be 16mo old! Where has time gone?

His favorite person is still Dadda. Though Uncle Patrick is a VERY close second and might become the top at any point. lol

He has been more cuddly with his Momma! Which Momma is totally and completely loving.

His favorite food is still Banana's. Though he does enjoy the typical foods like Pizza, Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, French Fries and Apple Sauce.

He is 31lbs.

His new best friend is Anthony Powell who is an 11 year old who lives next door. He adores A-ya and plays with him every chance he gets! lol

His talking improves every day. He mimics words/sounds. His new words are "Crackas"(crackers), "Ke-go"(Eggos) and I think that's it. But if you ask him to say something...he can make a very good sounding of what you said, even if it doesn't exactly sound right. LOL

He is starting to step up stairs without holding on. So he's learning to balance VERY well.

His favorite character is still very much Elmo! Though he's starting to show interest in other shows.

He can sort of jump. Not entirely, but he bounces!

His favorite thing to do with Dadda is "work-out" While Dadda works out, Isaiah mimics his moves! LOL

His favorite thing to do with Momma is climb up in her big blue recliner and cuddle! FINALLY!

He still very much loves to cuddle. Not necessarily with anyone, but any pillow, fluffy carpet, blanket...he loves to just snuggle on in. It's super cute.

He makes the most hilarious facial expression and is actually starting to resemble Momma a bit more these days! :)

His biggest compliment...his smile! And how happy and cute he is!

He is a MAJOR flirt! He will blow kisses at pretty women, try and wink, and take their hand and try and bring them home. We're in trouble.

He's super dramatic like his name sake. haha! He fake cries. It's pathetic. haha!

He can walk by a picture of someone he knows and point to it without prompt and know that person is familiar! Often times he'll attempt to say their name. These are mostly family members.

He can sorta count 1-2-3. He mimics it and it mostly sounds like "2-2-3" LOL!

His favorite song is still Itsy-Bitsy Spider, though Wheels on The Bus is a VERY close 2nd.

He loves outside!

I believe that's it! If I think of more I'll add them! :)

Let's See.....

Well I have supposedly have linked my blog to my Facebook profile. We'll see....this is a test to see if it works!

Pregnancy Oh Pregnancy!

So I was thinking about it and after reading other people's blogs I decided I would finally do it. I need to try and stay more updated on my blog because I don't keep up a baby book or anything else. Anyways, I wanted to go ahead and type so far the differences between my two pregnancies. I'm 8 months pregnant with Collin and so I figure now's a good time!

So BIGGEST difference between Isaiah and Collin....Isaiah's pregnancy drug on and on....and on and on....and on and on....and I'm sure you get the point! Collin's pregnancy has just flown by. I find it hard to believe that I'm 8months pregnant! I mean...besides the fact that I feel TONS of lower pressure and all of that jazz, but I just don't know here 8months has gone!

With Isaiah I had absolutely not a drop of heartburn or indigestion. Nothing! With Collin I have had indigestion and heartburn the WHOLE pregnancy! Even before I knew I was pregnant! Joy!


With Isaiah my boobs hurt beyond BELIEF! And they also swelled to more than I thought I'd EVER see them get. With Collin....nothing! It's wonderful! At this point in my pregnancy with Isaiah I was literally clutching onto my boobs for dear life every time we had to get into the car to go some where. It was SO painful! I'm enjoying this part of Collin's pregnancy immensely!

With Isaiah I slept all of the time! Literally! All day and all night! With Collin....psht...maybe I get 8hrs of sleep at night. And sometimes I take a nap. Once I hit about 7.5mo naps did start feeling like more a necessity, but I still don't take one every day. And it's normally only 1hr long. Maybe 2.


This next part is probably tmi for people...so be warned! With Isaiah...I NEVER wanted to be touched. The thought of sex literally repulsed me! It was terrible! And that was our 1st year of marriage. Thankfully God gave me a VERY understanding husband. It was hard but we made it through! :) With Collin....wowzers! The beginning when I didn't really have a belly yet....it was wonderful! I had sexual desire THROUGH the roof! lol! It was bliss! My sexual appetite has decreased a bit, but it's still pretty high for someone who has a HUGE belly and is 8mo pregnant! LOL! It's wonderful! God certainly did treat us well this time around with pregnancy! ;)


With Isaiah, he did NOT seem to want to ever come out! EVER! At 27 weeks Collin was already trying to make his appearance. LOL We've managed to hold off til 32 weeks so far. We'll see how much longer we last.


When I was pregnant with Isaiah I peed ALLLLLL of the time! My bladder couldn't hold ANYTHING. With Collin as much as I pee a lot still, I can hold more and it's not as frequent. A luxury I am quite enjoying!

So I believe that is it. But I am happy I had time to do this! :) If I think of more I'll add it later on.
