Chloe's 5th Birthday

On July 29th my Babygirl Chloe turned 5, yes 5 already it's crazy but I'm a proud mama, this year we didn't have a party just some family over, opened gifts and had Cupcakes, but all in all she had a great day and then after dinner we went for a walk at the waterfront which I forgot my camera so I have no pics of that..booo..Anyways here's some picyures of Chloe's special day!!

Amie...xoxoxo.....

Busy Week...

Yep, that's what I feel like I need to drink a whole bunch of..(starbucks coffee).. just to keep me awake..lol..and here's the story why..so yesterday we went to Ryan's parents house in the afternoon because his grandparents were coming up for a visit and they wanted to see Miss Peyton, so we went there around 3:30pm I believe and we were there till about 10pm, so we had dinner and everything there and us and the baby were outside most of that time, So Peyton got tons of fresh air and she was happy about that. later on that evening we also gave Peyton a bowl of pablum and she also had her 8oz of formula, she was very happy and had a full belly..lol..so we all figured that she would've slept great lastnight...and guess what...That so wasn't the case she was up till almost 4:30am it was awful and I was soo tired..I finally got her to fall alseep ( a good sleep) at like 4:30am so I was able to finally get abit of rest and then she woke us up again around 8, had her bottle and then went right back to sleep, but staying awake till that ungodly hour lastnight just killed me I've been pretty tired here and there throughout the day..but am still up and just trying to relax and enjoy the quiet since all 4 kiddos are fast asleep in the beds.

I also have been trying to scrap when I can but hasn't been too much lately, since Peyton has decided that lately she wants to be held 24/7..I have every baby thing you could imagine and she's just not interested she would rather be held..little stinker :P

Oh and over the weekend I finally got a new dining room table and chairs it's a nice set and I got it at a very good price and it's from Ikea..I love it. I would post a pic but it will take me forever to find one, so maybe I'll post a pic tommorow.

Well not much is new here, the boys are home for summer break and all the kiddos are keeping me on my toes.

I shall be back tommorow with some pics and some scrap pages.

Nighty Night all

Boom Boom Pow

Hahaha at my title for today..but truthfully that darn song is stuck in my head so I figured it was only right to use it as my title..lol..Right now I'm sitting here awaiting my Timmy's and my almost 3 month old daughter, she spent the night at her Grandma's house lastnight and I'm looking forward to getting her back and cuddling with her..Peyton is getting big it seems that everyday goes by fast and she just keeps growing I can't keep up somedays she's already into 6 month pj's and she's not even 3 months yet..it's crazy at her last doctor's appt she weighed 12 pounds and 11oz and was 23 inches long. That doctor's visit was hard for us (specially for her daddy) because she had her first vaccinations the first was went ok she didn't cry just made a noise but when they did the second one oh boy she screamed and I felt so bad and her daddy was holding her so he told me that for her 4 month vaccinations I get to be the bad guy..great I'm not looking forward to that, I hate seeing my baby in pain.

So not to much exciting around here just been keeping busy with the kids and then trying to stay on top of the house cleaning, but not all the time does that work out for me...right now I have a huge pile of laundry sitting on my bedroom floor that needs to get done..shhhh..lol...I'm hoping to get it all done today, it just sucks because in my apt buliding they only have 2 washers and 2 dryers and like 14 apts so needless to say everytime I go to do laundry there's usually other's that are doing there's and I have to wait..so I'm hoping that today when I go down there there's at least a washer and dryer free..one could hope right..

I also have some pics to share of the kids from the other day, I finally got a few pictures of all 4 kids together which never happens very often now, because the 3 older ones don't want to be bothered by pics so here's a few of my 4 kids..

....xoxoxo.....

Bad Bad Blogger..oops...

Yep the title says it all I've been a bad bad blogger..lol..I haven't updated in like 2 months..oops..things have just been really busy and I haven't been able to find the time to really sit down and write on my blog..right now I have abit of time cause the baby is sleeping so I thought I would get on here and update as much as I can.

Anyways I had Miss Peyton on March 14th 2009 @ 11:10am I was almost 6 days past my due date. I guess she just really liked it alot in there and didn't want to make her apperance on time..lol..Here's abit of the Birth Story I copied and pasted it from my Mommy's group so I wouldn't have to write it all out again.

I was supposed to be induced on Sunday(March 15th) because Peyton was being stubborn..lol..well i never made it to my induction appt because on friday night i went into labor. I kept having what I thought were braxton hicks because they really weren't all that painful so for awhile I didn't think much of them..so my fiance Ryan and I decided to go and visit with my mom for something to do and I was still having them, my mom was like oh no..lol..but she started to time them and they were about 5-7 mins apart and I just looked at her and said it's nothing because they didn't hurt so no way did I think I was in labor..we got back home around 11:30pm and watched some t.v and I was still having them then when I went to go to bed around 1am that's when they started to get worse and uncomfortable but I tried to lay down anyways well they did end up getting worse where I had to breathe through them so around just after 2am I told Ryan that I was pretty sure that I was in labor and that I thought that we should go to the hospital he wasn't sure what to think since I have had false labor a few times already..anyways I get my bags and make sure that I have everything that I need and then we got into the car and headed for the hospital, we get there I had to register quickly and then off we went to labor & delivery were I sign in there and then they take us to a room, hook me up to the monitors and do an internal exam and the nurse tells me that I am 3-4 cms we were like wow that went pretty fast..lol..so she leaves me on the monitor for abit and at this time my contractions are stronger but I just breathe through them, the nurse comes back in and we went through all the paperwork and then I opted to go into the whirlpool tub to take some of the edge off..I was in the tub for about 30 mins and then couldn't deal no more and got out and Ryan told the nurse that I wanted the epidural, around 6:30 am I got my epidural and I was 6 cms I believe and then the doctor came and broke my water after that. After my epi kicked in I was smiling and just chilled right out..I was happy..lol..but after a period of time my epi started to wear off and I could feel the contractions again. around 11am I was checked and told that I was fully dilated and we started to push with just the nurse there. At first my pushes weren't really doing anything and they figured that I would be pushing for at least 45 mins to an hour..well I proved them wrong..lol..the nurse almost had to deliver peyton with the last 3 pushes I had her out she came out very quick. at 11:10am Miss Peyton Nevaeh Elizabeth M was born weighing 7 pounds 13 ozs and she was 19 inches long, she's just an amazing baby and were sooooo HAPPY!!

Peyton is now almost 2 months old..the time just seems to be flying by..she's such a sweetheart and I just couldn't imagine life without her in it..right now she's smiling alot and she coo's and just today she rolled on her side..lol..she's pretty much sleeping through the night right now so I'm not even complaining..I'm not a sleep deprieved mommy. Things are pretty busy around here though and sometimes the house gets neglected because I just don't have the time it takes during the day since Peyton is awake most of the day now..she does have her naps but they are cat naps..I swear she sleeps for 20 mins and then is up for like 2 hours..lol..she's my little ham.

I tried to update my blog the other day but just didn't have the spare time that it takes plus I wasn't feeling all that well since I had surgery done on Friday..I have a tubal ligation done. I believe that I made the right decision 4 kids was enough for me I have my 2 boys and my 2 girls it's evened out and I just feel now that my family is complete so I went ahead and told my doctor that I wanted my tubes tied. The Surgery went well and I was only in the hospital from 8:30am-1pm that day and then came home and relaxed I wasn't in any serious pain but just had some pretty uncomfortable cramping and just felt icky..but now I feel fine and tommorow my bandages can come off..so ya that's what's new around here. I'll share some photos of Peyton of when she was born and her now, and I'll also be sharing my most recent scrap pages in the next few days.

First photos is Peyton @ 4 days old, the second is Peyton @ almost 2 months and the 3rd is of Peyton and I.

39 week Belly Pics

Here's the last of my belly pics..from 39 weeks I think I look huge..lol

3 days till my Due Date

Yep that's right 3 more days till Miss Peyton is due..I'm really nervous, shocked, scared but also very excited to meet and hold my baby girl :)..I'm just getting nervous about the whole labor part you would think it wouldn't even bother me since this is my 4th baby but I don't think labor ever gets any better..lol..I'm hoping that I have a fast labor and my plan is to get the epidural, I had it with Chloe and it was such a blessing so I for sure want it again.

So all my bags are packed and waiting for when I have to go to the hospital and Peyton's bag is all packed and ready to go too, I think that all I need to add to mine is my toothbrush and hairbrush.

I'm hoping that my labor starts soon and that I don't go overdue, that would suck..lol..but I really think that Peyton is very stubborn and does not want to come out of my belly..lol.
I had a doctor's appt on Tuesday and he said that I'm still 1cm dilated and that she's really dropped he thinks I will go soon but if not I have another appt on Tuesday for an NST @ the hospital and then another doctor's appt on the thursday and then if I haven't had her by then I will be induced on the 15th, so at least I know she will be here by the 15th at the latest..lol.

Yesterday when I went to the bathroom I lost my mucus plug and got the bloody show which usually means that labor will be soon to come so I'm playing the waiting game and hope that's a sign thatt I'm going to meet my baby girl very soon. Well I guess that's about all for now I'll try and keep updating..
