getting bigger

Wednesday I had a meeting with a woman I work with upstairs who I hadn't seen in awhile.  When we were finishing up I stood up and she was still sitting giving her a great view of my abdomen.  She asked what was going on in my mid-section and I admitted that I was indeed with child.  She said she couldn't really tell from the front but it was super obvious from the side and wondered how no one else had said anything.  I think it's mostly because I'm at that stage where people aren't really sure and don't want to mistakenly ask if I'm not pregnant.  Plus I don't talk about my personal life at work.

I thought about telling my boss right away since it was getting pretty obvious that I was pregnant, but he was really busy preparing and giving a presentation he gave yesterday.  So I figured this morning would be the perfect time to have our sit down.  I have been rehearsing how I would say it all week.  Then I got an email saying he was working from home today. Bummer.  Now I have to wait until Tuesday to tell him.  Supposedly the baby is supposed to double in size within the next couple weeks and it's getting hard to keep it under wraps.   I wanted to tell him before it became too obvious but it seem like it went from me looking a little bloated to super obvious in a week.  Who knows what I'll look like next week.

I'm so excited for this three day weekend.  We for sure need a break to get caught up on everything.  We had a bit of an ant problem earlier in the week and had the exterminator come and all our food is still all sitting on our kitchen table waiting to be put away.  Also my husband went to Sam's Club and we went to the lot sale at the grocery store yesterday so we have all these huge groceries that need to be put somewhere.  I miss those days when my husband just went to school and would clean up during the day so I didn't have to.  Now we spend our weekends cleaning and him doing homework and it still seems like our house is a disaster at all times.  Maybe we can have fun on Monday.

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...
