pregnancy clothes

Yesterday I got out my maternity clothes.  I wasn't planning on wearing them, I just wanted to get them ready and check them out.  I can still technically button up my fat pants, but it's not very comfortable.  I don't really like leaving them unbuttoned because they feel unsecure even with a pony tail holder or a belly band, plus my butt and thighs are getting bigger so they're kind of snug.  I just wanted to try on my favorite preggo pants and when I did it was awesome.  Ahhh! 

Having your uterus sticking out is much different than having a pooch.  It's really uncomfortable for anything to push on it, like Quentin climbing all over me constantly.  I've been having a hard time dressing for church because I like to wear tights or something on my legs, but that control top was killing me! I put it below my belly, but then they were slipping down and the whole time I'm tugging on my tights.  So anyway, I'm really excited about being comfortable again even though I will be wearing the same thing over and over again for the next 6 months.

I checked out some maternity clothes at Target the other day and they had the CUTEST dresses.  Man, I wish I had tons of money because I would look awesome in those clothes.  Hopefully I'll be able to pick one up on clearance or something.



My next well check-up is on Monday so hopefully we get to hear the baby's heartbeat this time.  Then we have our anatomy ultrasound on Oct 26.  We like knowing the gender ahead of time so we'd like to find that out while we're there.  If we have a girl I am going to send our boy clothes to my sister-in-law who is having a boy in January and it would be nice to know if we'll need them before she has her baby.  We already have names picked out from when we had Quentin so no stressing over that.  I didn't know if we would still stick with those names, but we both really like them still, plus one less thing to worry about.

During the last two months when I was so tired and nauseous all the time I started watching a lot more tv, which Quentin loves.  I decided that I didn't want him watching so much tv and only watch it while he's napping during the day.  I do have a news show I really like to watch at 3:00 PM so I have it on for a little bit while I make dinner etc. and then we watch our shows in the evening after Quentin goes to bed at 7:00 PM.  I've been a lot more productive due to less tv and also because I feel better.  We go out more since there's not much to do around here with a toddler.

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...
