moving on

I've been pretty nauseous lately, but I have a lot more energy than I did in previous months. I still worry about Little Bean and hope and pray he's doing ok in there. We don't have another appointment until September 15 so I guess I'll just have to wait to hear the heart beat again and be reassured every thing's ok. They say I might start to feel the little guy/gal moving around in there soon so I try and pay attention to see if I can feel any fluttering. Nothing so far.

Tuesday it was supposed to rain all day so I was looking for my rain boots. I still haven't found them, but I did discover that we have a lot of junk in our storage containers. I thought it might be difficult to make room for the baby, but it looks like we can easily get rid of a lot of stuff, which makes me want to start purging.

My husband finally got a letter from the FAA asking him to choose two states he'd like to assigned to once he becomes an air traffic controller. We had planned on putting Texas and Florida as our choices, but then I wanted to make sure that we didn't want to live somewhere else and started to get a little stressed out about the whole thing.

He ended up just putting Texas and Florida because there isn't anywhere else we really want to live that meets all our needs. Mostly we're looking for a state with low cost of living that also has big airports. Texas and Florida have at least 5 big facilities each, no state income tax, and low housing prices. Hopefully he gets an offer letter soon -- we're not planning on getting anything right away, it's the government after all, but before the baby's born would be great.

Wednesday I went for a walk...my first walk since the spring! I ended up getting lost. I think I'm starting to lose my mind. It's hard to concentrate long enough to do anything. Maybe it's that pregnant mind thing I've heard so much about.

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...
