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..

32 days left :O

WOW..I'm sitting here in shock after reading my pregnancy ticker today..lol.. it said that I only have 32 days left till little Miss Peyton's due date..this pregnancy went by so fast I remember like it was yesterday telling my fiance that we were pregnant and then the months just flew by.so I'm almost 36 weeks(sunday) and I'm feeling ok I guess just the usual uncomfy pregnancy issues..my back has been killing me and usually before I go to bed at night my fiance has to give me a back massage so I can relax and actually sleep, and now my bladder is in overdrive I swear that every 10 minutes I'm in the bathroom going pee and it sucks..I'm alittle worried about if they give me another ultrasound since my bladder can't hold anything..lol..oh and I waddle like a duck too and my fiance laughs I think he finds it amusing but in a good way he's been so awesome throughout this whole pregnancy and has been there for me he amazes me everyday and I love him so much..

I'm still sitting here thinking 32 days, 32 days..lol..and Miss Peyton is kicking me and although it kinda hurts cause she's kicking in my ribs, I still love the feeling of her moving around in my belly I guess because it just re-assures me that all is ok. I'm pretty much ready for her arrival, we have pretty much everything we need for her except a couple little things that I need like a Breastpump, Breast pads and a couple nursing bras..since I plan on breast feeding her so I'm going to be needing those few things which I will get this month so I can pack it into my hospital bag, speaking of hospital bags mine is no where near packed I still have a bunch of stuff to put into it, but it's hard when you need to pack clothes and nightgowns but you wear those so I'll have to wait till last minute to put those in, Peyton's bag is all packed and ready to go..and all her clothes and things are all organized and put away so ya were ready..

I'm really ready to meet my babygirl and just can't wait to hold her in my arms. But at the same time over the last couple weeks as much as I want her out I'm nervous and scared about the labor part I know you must think I'm crazy since this is my 4th child but I'm still freaked out..and I'm just hoping and prayng that I will be able to get the epidural cause then I know I'll be ok and sorta comfy and be able to handle the labor, but I'm sure that when the time comes I'll be ok and get through it..lol

Ok enough of my ramblings I'm off to clean my place....xoxo

Prenatal Appt Update

I'm 33 1/2 weeks now..lol

I had my prenatal appt this morning it was supposed to be at 1pm but my doctor was going to be out of the office so I took the 9:45am one instead cause I didn't want to go another day..so we get there and the place was packed..lol..I think we waited almost 40 mins so that's not too bad, then I did my pee sample which was all negitive and then my weight I've gained 4 pounds in 2 weeks..oops..so that puts me up to a total of 20 pounds gained.

They did the fundal height and the doctor said it looks great and here heartbeat is great too, and I just love hearing it..hehe..i believe he said it's about 150 bpm..then I told him about all the bad heartburn I've been having and told him I've just been taking tums for it and well sometimes they work and sometimes they don't and he told me to take Gaviscon(sp?)..Then I asked him about all the mucus I've been losing, every couple of days when I go to the bathroom and wipe there's been a bunch of mucus, he asked me if there was any blood in it and I told him no just globs of yucky looking mucus and he told me it's normal it's just my body getting ready for the big day..so that's good..so I have to go back in 2 weeks on the 5th of Feb I'll be about 36 weeks then and I have to get my swab done, oh and my doctor is going away that week so I have to see another doctor who is taking his place, but that's ok because I've met her before.

Oh and when my doctor was measuring my belly he asked if I thought she was going to be a big baby??..I said I have no idea but it feels like it since there's like no more room in there..so I'm wondering is she big there has to be a reason why he asked..lolok I think I rambled on enough..lol..so that's my update, Peyton is doing great!!!:)
