everything is a-okay

Getting to work was a bit harrowing.  I ran to the bus and then had to stand due to all the passengers. Standing on the bus is much worse than standing on the metro, but I was ok until I got on the metro and I had to stand up again.  I felt like I was going to pass out, but was able to sit down before anything bad happened.  After I sat down though I felt so nauseous and was sweating and praying I wouldn't puke on the passengers next to me.  I remembered that I had packed some mini rice cakes and snuck a couple, since eating on the train is illegal.  I'm thinking I should eat more before I leave for work. 

Shortly after I arrived at work my doctor called to see how I was doing after the events on Friday.  She assured me that the small amount of bleeding was ok and that my ultra sound, despite what the technician said, looked normal for this stage.  That was very comforting.  When I told my husband about the conversation he had a million questions that I should have asked.  I didn't think of those at the time. He's really good at asking questions.  Oh well.  I'm feeling good and my goal is to not have any more break downs.  I do have tons of hormones coursing through my veins so I'm sure eventually I'll freak out again.

I decided that Remember the Titans is not a good movie for pregnant women to watch.  I was bawling.

labor & delivery

I'm finally getting around to posting my labor and delivery story.  After I got an epidural I wrote down what had happened so far and after the baby was born I wrote down the rest to make sure I remembered everything.  Since it's been two weeks of not a lot sleep and my memory of the event is somewhat drowned out with all the new mommy stuff, I'm just going to type what I wrote. February 21, 2011 - Monday We got up at abut 6 AM after a short night of lots of cramping.  I was hoping to go into labor or at least make some progress, but no luck.  I was still at 1 cm when the doctor measured me at about 8:30 am.  I got the oxytocin and a bulb to open up my cervix at about 8:45 am.   pre-pain, Nurse Lynn At first the contractions were so bad I wanted to cry and then they slowed down and it was more tolerable, but not to the point where I could walk around and I still threw up from the pain.  It got really bad at 1:10 when they gave me the Pitocin. ...

top 10 reasons I love breastfeeding

I have to preface this list with that it is MY list. Not all these things will apply to everyone.  I am aware that some women have a really hard time breastfeeding, some stick with it and some don't and they would have their own lists of why they like it or not.   Quentin and I have had a really easy time with it for whatever reason.  It's not because of anything I've done.  I do believe it is something all new moms should try.  Not like you tried it once and it didn't work out, but really truly try and get help from a lactation consultant if you need to.  It's totally worth it if you can get it to work for you.  If you decide not to for whatever reason I won't judge you.  I was bottle fed myself and I turned out just fine. 10. Bigger boobs.  I've always had really small breasts and have worn padded bras pretty much since puberty and kids made fun of small cup size.  I like how breastfeeding has made me more proportional a...

breastfeeding & weaning

Quentin has started walking!  Everyday he becomes more and more confident and walks more and more.  He's at about 50% crawling, 50% walking now.  My parents are in town and my mom commented how stable he is for just starting out. I can't really compare him to other kids since I only have the one.  I think he was just waiting until he felt completely confident. He has been eating a lot better lately.  He even ate some tilapia a couple times, but it had to be off of other people's plates for some reason.  I also started feeding him baby food again, which he gladly eats.  He likes it and it's healthy for him so I see no reason to force him to eat other food.  If he's 14 and still wants to eat baby food I guess that will be ok (he definitely wouldn't be overweight), but my guess is that he probably will give in to peer pressure before that happens. Last week he didn't want to take any morning naps, but this week he's been much more interested...
