it's
hard to believe i've been a mommy for a week and a day. i kind of miss my tummy
but i'm glad the pregnancy is over. i got sick in early labor. i did
really well for a while, i went a long time naturally & used the
birth ball & the jacuzzi tub a few times. things went well &
fast for awhile until i hit 6 cm & jane broke my water. i was
stuck at 6 cm for hours. my doctor had me on pit which made things get
intense so i chickened out & got an epideral which helped A TON!!
i was able to sleep some & it helped with the pain. i woke up a
little before 4 & was told i was +2 & could push. i pushed for
about a half hour, 45 minutes & at 4:31 am March 2nd, Sophia
Elizabeth was born. 20 inches & weighed in at 7 lbs 6 oz. i was
so glad i got an epideral because i ended up with an episiotomy, which
is not fun... still! Sophia is the prettiest baby ever & she's
very mellow unless she is hungry or has a messy diaper.
we
had some problems in the begining with feeding but i saw a lactation
consultant & she really helped & sophia is now eating every
couple of hours. she just needs to gain some weight.

| I
started having BAD pains saturday night & was to take percacet
& a bath & lay down. sunday morning the pains came back worse
& i went to triage because we thought i was contracting. i was put
on the monitors & given meds to stop contractions & was sent
home. i went to matt's where i got sick so he brought me home where i
got more sick & the pains came back so my mom took me back to
triage & i was admitted for preterm labor. i was dialated a
fingertip & my cervix thinned out by 50%. the anti-contraction
meds gave me bad headaches. so i got nubaine!
i
spent sunday night in L&D & monday night in the ACU on monitors
to make sure sophia is okay. the ultrasound said she has a lot of hair
& she weighs a little over 4 lbs. they kept me on monitors & i
contracted a little but the meds helped them stop. i was injected with
steroids to help the baby's lungs develop sooner rather than later
since I will be lucky if I make it to 36 weeks. As much as I want the
baby here I want her here on time & healthy. i'm supposed to
have a test done at my next appointment to say how at risk & how
soon preterm labor may occur. i'm basically on a form of bed rest. i
can still go to appointments & can go out some but i can't be on my
feet a lot & i can't be really active. for the most part i'm
supposed to stay at home off my feet.
things have not been fun for me.

| today starts 31 weeks.... & guess who is STILL puking... me! i've
had it rough the last few days for some reason. on friday i went to
lakeland with my mom & sister to visit my aunts & cousins.
they threw me a baby shower on saturday where i got lots of nice
things. so far we have baby clothes, 1 car seat, a baby tub, monitors
(but i think i'm going to exchange them for a different brand), a bath
set, towels, blankets, a duck robe, a rubber ducky, diaper genie &
a swing. then last night colin gave me a bag of clothes that he &
his gf & her mom bought for sophia. my baby is getting so spoiled,
it's great! the trip was good, the weather was warm , i was able to eat
food & see my family.... things were great until the car ride home,
which is when i got sick on the side of the road. i was quite exhausted
when i got home.
yesterday i cleaned my room & sorted
through baby stuff & slept a lot. then i picked up matt & we
went to eat at po boys where i yet again got sick before we went to our
childbirth class. this morning i ate a muffin & for some reason
sophia didn't like it. i'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOO over puking. in fact i'm
over being pregnant in general. i get the weirdest dreams. sometimes
they're creepy. i had one dream last night that i was in labor &
there were tons of random people in the delivery room & a doctor
from the other hospital that i don't like had to deliver the baby. it
was so bizarre. even though i'm throwing up, i'm really excited about
baby sophia coming i just wish it didn't take so long. it's at the
point where it hurts for her to kick me & she slams against my ribs
sometimes, pregnancy is abusive. my belly button looks funny now. | | |
| 21
weeks! over half way done.... my due date has been changed to march
20th, earlier than before which i'm all about. i have a pudgy tummy,
it's super cute! we had our formal ultrasound monday & we're
having a girl! i love pudding & ice cream & i crave doughnuts
right now. the baby kicks & it feels funny, she likes to dance on
my bladder at night, making me pee all the time. i'm physically
feeling a lot better, i still have migraines but i'm not getting sick
& i'm feeling hungry a lot. i went to the PHI center today &
will start going to a support group there for young women going through
unplanned pregnancies like me. I also can start volunteering there to
have something to do with my time.
i'm
going to yoga tonight, i'm excited. mom & i got pedicures &
went out for sushi, it was nice to go out with her. i've become really
clingy to my mom since my friends are at school & work so much.
sometimes i go & see her at work even because i miss her so much.
counseling is really helping me realize what i am & am not ready
for right now. my health & this baby come before anything else
& i'm okay with that.

| it's so nice to be home!!! thorzine is helping me, i havent gotten sick
since before they started me on it. i need a massage & a
chiropractor appt badly, i'll be glad when our insurance changes so i
can go. i'm hoping to get sushi & spring rolls tonight! i've craved
them for so long & now i'm not puking. i think i have a zit in my
nose, it hurts.
i woke up today & all of a sudden thought "i miss saige" totally
random. i have registered for baby stuff with target baby & babies
r us/ toys r us. those sites are really fun! i'm more & more
impatient about the baby. i wish everyone would be happy for matt &
i, i mean most people are but some people have been totally rude &
it's uncalled for. this has made me realize who my true friends are.
oh & this is baby roo a few weeks ago at 10 weeks....
