How about a VACATION?!It's been a long time. Too long. I've been sitting here for the last hour trying to figure out where to begin. And I can't! So instead of wasting more time trying to figure it out and eventually getting to the point where I don't blog anything, I'm just going to focus on the big events.<br />

Everyone on the plane was so comforting and sweet to us about it though. At least he did it 10 minutes before we landed and not 10 minuted after we took off! </div><br />

I have made some major changes in the last year that I never imagined myself doing. The biggest change of all is becoming a mother. I still wonder if this is real, it's hard to believe sometimes. As some of you know I have gone back to work part time. My first day back was on Nov. 4...my last day will be on Nov. 24. That's right, I'm quiting. It's hard to accept that I'm giving up all that I have known and built my life around but I have more important things to attend to now. Besides, how can I leave this face everyday?<br />

We have had someone come out and try to fix it, but it doesn't seem like they can do anything about it. So I haven't been updating this like I should be...SO SORRY!<br />
Oscar rolled over at 3 weeks. Yeah, I didn't believe it either when Daniel was watching him in the living room doing some tummy time with him and I was in the kitchen cleaning up after dinner. Daniel says to me "Umm, he just rolled over." My first reaction was "no way, he's way too young." When we told Daniel's mom, she said the same thing. So we got some video of it for proof.<br />

Oscar is also starting to smile. I happen to get the very first smile with a picture. This happened on Aug. 17 2010. <br />

(I say this as my eyes start to tear up)<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The first night in the hospital was a really rough one for us, especially Oscar. We had decided that for the first night in the hospital we would have Oscar stay in the nursery so we could get some good rest. It's a good thing because at about 4am a nurse came in and told me that they had admitted him to the NICU because his oxygen level was low, he had fluid in his lungs and he was not eating. I didn't know what to think, I was so drugged up on pain meds from the surgery that I think I just went back to sleep with the news not really sinking in. When I finally woke up is when the news sunk in and I was so confused. They told us we could go see him whenever we wanted so we made the trip to the NICU. (Now remember I'm recovering from a c-section so it took a lot of energy just to get out of bed and into the wheelchair.) No one could prepare themselves for what we walked into...</div><br />

It broke our hearts. They wouldn't let us hold him, because they were not sure how long he was going to be in the NICU and hooked up to all the machines and they didn't want to have to train us on how to hold him with all of the tubes. Turns out he was in there for the entire 3 days that I was in the hospital so eventually they did let us hold him.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC1vClGf2tErq-lR-ViogPDqTTj_DamLPryCR6baw9ThlUVeMEEZt-wclZZ81Im75nrOZLG-tfitshKPHF86insKrQXl9MbKFRZs7JyQM-a-WdDWd69tGHfZujmgaG0MFH6jhEEjogKZM/s1600/photoa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC1vClGf2tErq-lR-ViogPDqTTj_DamLPryCR6baw9ThlUVeMEEZt-wclZZ81Im75nrOZLG-tfitshKPHF86insKrQXl9MbKFRZs7JyQM-a-WdDWd69tGHfZujmgaG0MFH6jhEEjogKZM/s400/photoa.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">This was only the second time that I was able to hold my son.

We got there 10 minutes before shift change. They make everyone leave so that when they do have the shift change it goes smoothly. When we got to Oscar's room, the nurse could tell I was having a really hard time emotionally and that I needed my son in my arms. Without saying a word she went over and picked him up and placed him in my arms and I immediately felt complete. Needless to say they did not make us leave for the shift change. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">For the next 3 days, they would come and get me every 4 hours to go to the NICU for Oscars feedings.

He just couldn't wait any longer! So after days and days of holding my brand new baby boy Oscar and loving him, I finally decided to lay him down and update you all on his birth.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> Now for the story of my labor. On Tues. Aug 10, I went into work feeling pretty good. About the moment I got to work is when my contractions started and (sorry for all the details) I had my bloody show. I called my doctor and they told me not to worry about anything, just to keep track and time the contractions, once they are 5 minutes apart lasting 1 minute each then I needed to go to the hospital. I timed them at work and they were about 20 minutes apart. I was really uncomfortable at work, so I decided to leave half a day early. I went home around noon and passed out on the couch for about 3 hours. (Later I was SO glad I did that!) That night was our last Preparing for Childbirth class so we decided to go (even though I was having some pretty intense contractions). It was really hard to pay attention in class. Me and Daniel just timed my contractions the entire time, they were 9 minutes apart and lasting about 30-40 seconds. After class we went to meet our cousin Mark (who was visiting from NM) for dinner. I didn't have much of an appetite, so my last meal before becoming a mom was a chef salad. I had a feeling that I was going to be having the baby really soon, I just didn't think it would be so soon. We had Mark help us install the base of the car seat after dinner because we made it out to be a LOT harder than it really is! We headed home and I could tell that my contractions were getting more and more intense and closer together. So around 11pm we started timing them again. By midnight they were at 5 minutes apart and lasting 1 minute each and the pain was getting worse. So I decided to call Labor and Delivery because I think I was in a bit of denial, and I had not been checked at the doctors yet. That appointment was scheduled for the next day, Aug 11. They told me I could come in and they would check to see how far I was dilated and keep me for an hour, than check again, if I hadn't progressed they would send me home. So we got to the hospital at 12:30am and they checked me and I was at 2cm and almost 100% effaced, so they decided to keep me! </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJAGxkfx-0aooRXg3E7fCsRh0kS7Uy_Xiaat9i_Ii04zeRmZUh8g0xueYglp4PFZawlqkzDWjYTvkrSFjkP9SJOB5cMuBm7j9nfdi8gagrSJD1rORl5rD9g5YbbYplylFvXQBOrbcdU2M/s1600/DSC00147.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJAGxkfx-0aooRXg3E7fCsRh0kS7Uy_Xiaat9i_Ii04zeRmZUh8g0xueYglp4PFZawlqkzDWjYTvkrSFjkP9SJOB5cMuBm7j9nfdi8gagrSJD1rORl5rD9g5YbbYplylFvXQBOrbcdU2M/s320/DSC00147.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm8xaKuVGTrvCkfWNagOmQKWEdlg6s6SffumsMJhbI2hSc9YtKBm_bAKrGE2ogf3EiZY-RPH0QNkcZIi2ALMfl81G-Nk73mxyaqeExF_lBSDXSPD24_L2Eu-Vm8TioZgFvUmSDgCvovR4/s1600/DSC00148.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm8xaKuVGTrvCkfWNagOmQKWEdlg6s6SffumsMJhbI2hSc9YtKBm_bAKrGE2ogf3EiZY-RPH0QNkcZIi2ALMfl81G-Nk73mxyaqeExF_lBSDXSPD24_L2Eu-Vm8TioZgFvUmSDgCvovR4/s320/DSC00148.JPG" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">My contractions kept getting stronger and stronger and I was completely pooped so by about 3:30am I asked for my epidural so I could get some sleep. After I received it (I wished I would have asked for it earlier!) I was able to get a little rest and sleep through the contractions. Poor Daniel slept on a hard couch (that was more like a bench) that he couldn't even stretch his legs out on. A little later they came in and broke my water. By 1:30pm I was ready to push. So I pushed, and pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed! About an hour after pushing my Doctor came in to check my progress and I was the same as when I first started pushing. He said that Oscar was laying a little transverse and that it was a little like trying to push a square through a circle. So he gave us two options. He said that we could either try pushing for another hour and if he hadn't been born by then we would have to do a c-section or we could skip the hour of pushing and go right in for the c-section. They left and let me and Daniel talk it over and we both decided that the c-section would be the best for everyone. (Especially me, I was so exhausted!) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge7OyCuOGSUzzL1SMq1fWQp7oPhkr3bG4u4xWVxxL2ZbfCypRjieI7ZzRlZS8RJyPv2SaA9I4a8vRY4jnoEA0NPD4Dct53QbJDKolbVH7j2TsRWapEftL4WsbAre1ym-jmT2LyeGnKtiQ/s1600/DSC00155.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge7OyCuOGSUzzL1SMq1fWQp7oPhkr3bG4u4xWVxxL2ZbfCypRjieI7ZzRlZS8RJyPv2SaA9I4a8vRY4jnoEA0NPD4Dct53QbJDKolbVH7j2TsRWapEftL4WsbAre1ym-jmT2LyeGnKtiQ/s320/DSC00155.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguR3HUOE3KqmlDQbuGBZ-6NET_nOpmerJR-hHtq6Wvc25anEQJPMJq53sg3O7jS4lxoGNMOEi72ZijssjnXdi-ImMvSWAkWXvIoQUeGOzJl2QpAExCvHTwL1NlqoK4NovduH88091a2BA/s1600/DSC00162.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguR3HUOE3KqmlDQbuGBZ-6NET_nOpmerJR-hHtq6Wvc25anEQJPMJq53sg3O7jS4lxoGNMOEi72ZijssjnXdi-ImMvSWAkWXvIoQUeGOzJl2QpAExCvHTwL1NlqoK4NovduH88091a2BA/s320/DSC00162.JPG" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So at 3:37pm we welcomed our little prince to the world!

Time seems to be holding still now, I'm starting to get anxious to meet Oscar! We've been attending our Preparing for Childbirth classes (only one more to go) which have been ok. The instructor gets on our nerves...she's very opinionated about natural childbirth and nursing and I think in a class like that she should keep it to herself because there are people in there who have already made up their minds about how they want to raise their children. Anyway, we did get a tour of the labor and delivery in the hospital the other day. I think that's going to be very helpful just knowing where I'm going when the big day finally arrives! <br />
We should be finding out on Aug. 11 the date of when I will be induced! That's less than 1 week away!! Here's what mom and baby are up to this week.<br />

This is at 35 weeks (07/29/10). I had a doctors appointment on 07/28/10, just for a regular check up. Everything was just fine, blood pressure was perfect, weight gain right on track...then Dr. Horsley measured me. He then felt where Oscar's head is, and he says "well he feels a bit big, I want you to go in and get ultrasound testing, then we can figure out if we will need to schedule a c-section or if we will be scheduling you to be induced." He also ordered more blood testing to see where my platelet count is. That is the reason to schedule me to be induced, so they can keep track of my count in case they need to give me steroids so I can have the epidural. So the following morning we went in for the ultrasound and Oscar is just fine. He measures average and he even got "extra credit points" for practicing his breathing so well! So come Aug. 11 (my next doctors appt.) I will be checked to see if I'm progressing and looks like we will be setting a date to have the baby! <br />
I am so thankful we got these pictures when we did. I am starting to have a really hard time moving around and with my swollen feet and ankles, they just hurt all the time now. But every time I start feeling down, I just look at the pics of my baby boy and just think to myself, "he is soooo worth all this and more!" I can't believe how much I love him already, I can't imagine the feelings I'll be having when he is actually in my arms...my heart already feels like it's going to burst.Sar and Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05276070899924528257noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-958041334842432727.post-3005089542473332832010-07-22T10:47:00.000-06:002010-07-22T10:47:55.227-06:0034 weeks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I think we are as ready as we can be for Oscar. I had a fabulous baby shower from my bestest friends Brandy and Trish on the 17th. They went above and beyond anything I could have expected! They are truly the best friends a girl could ask for! Thanks you guys! I love you both so much. (I will do a post with the pics from the shower later, I have to figure out how to use my new camera first!) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On the 20th Daniel and I started the "Preparing for Childbirth" classes. They basically went over everything that we have already gone through with pregnancy up to this point. Then we learned some relaxing techniques, which included the coaches (Daniel) to give massages to the moms to be...heavenly! I tried telling him that we had to go home and practice for at least 2 hours every night...he wouldn't go for it! We have 3 more classes and I think that they are going to be very good for me and Daniel. It's gonna help me and Daniel to know what to expect when I go into labor. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So lately I have had really, really swollen feet and ankles. Last night my right foot got so bad that I was limping when I walked because it hurt so bad. I put my feet up for about an hour and a half and iced them the entire time, then Daniel rubbed them for a bit. They felt better after that but they were still swollen. I can't believe I'm going to post a pic of this...but here is a pic of my right foot AFTER I iced and Daniel rubbed them</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWaF6ft5Qiu90AIyoIjOzQeLQGSfTup9K6lGGLUyIDGv219rQ7fIfdqNmso5gRnV6dlqpeS1oxx5uvgtjdGJTG5jzo26rz941Wjtk6Bfy0s12jfa_2aDlACQpG_qs6eHGbrrt5iRxpZmw/s1600/photo%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" hw="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWaF6ft5Qiu90AIyoIjOzQeLQGSfTup9K6lGGLUyIDGv219rQ7fIfdqNmso5gRnV6dlqpeS1oxx5uvgtjdGJTG5jzo26rz941Wjtk6Bfy0s12jfa_2aDlACQpG_qs6eHGbrrt5iRxpZmw/s400/photo%5B1%5D.JPG" width="227" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">It doesn't look like I have an ankle. And my poor toes look like sausages. I can't wear any shoes except for my flip flops...it's a good thing they are so comfy! So last night we decide to experiment. We some 2 by 4's and put 2 under each leg at the foot of the bed to see if that would help the swelling go down. I got up this morning and looked down at my feet........I had ankles again!!!!!! It wasn't the most comfortable sleep in the world (my head was smashed up against the head board most of the night) but I think it's worth it for the relief in my ankles and feet! </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is what baby and mom are up to at 34 weeks.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Your Pregnancy: Week 34</strong></span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>No, it's not (just) the lack of sleep that's making your vision fuzzy.

But I do have a really good excuse (if any excuse is ever good enough?) My in-laws treated all the girls to a spa treatment vacation in Carlsbad, California for the last 4 days. We all had such a good time, it was nice to be pampered, shop like crazy, spend a day in Disneyland, eat great food and get to know everyone better.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>Was that a contraction? Yup, but it's just for practice. Those strengthening Braxton Hicks contractions are just your body's way of prepping for the real deal.</em> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>Baby's now the size of a squash!</em> </div><em></em><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><em>Ready or not, baby's getting ready to emerge. She's probably in the head-down position by now, with her bottom facing up. This is the comfiest way for her body to fit in your increasingly cramped womb and will make her eventual exit (only a few months away now!) much easier. (If she's still head-up, don't panic -- there's still time for a flip before birth.)</em></div>And here I am at 32 weeks. I can't believe how big I am. It is getting harder to breath and walk. I'm a lot slower moving around than I use to be. Oscar's movements aren't really kicks anymore, he seems to just slide across my belly now. It is the strangest thing to watch! I have noticed that he's getting hiccups more often now too! Well here I am belly and all! <br />

Hooray!!! <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Ok</span>, I say that now, but inside I'm kinda freaking out. I think it's mostly the though of labor. But we did sign us up for a prenatal class called Prepared Childbirth. It's a 4 week course. It teaches you about breathing and relaxation, labor and delivery, medications during labor, the postpartum period, and newborn care. It also includes a tour of the hospital. I think that will help put my mind at ease. <br />

He has been so patient and loving with me. I do have to say that the first 6 months he had it pretty easy just because I had it so easy. But now that I'm in the third trimester things have gotten harder and more uncomfortable. He absolutely hates feet and lotion with a passion, but anytime I ask him to rub lotion on my feet (only because it's hard for me to reach) he does it without complaining. He's always asking me if I need anything and takes care of me in every possible way. He is going to be the most amazing dad. I must admit, I'm a bit spoiled! So thank you babe for everything! I couldn't do this without you by my side!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUHo_iCMMgezuGMf0CZKfoNARDsuTbKokLg_Ng20T9uWjHX9F7srl4Cjtqdt_eab4R4_0B19HO3hqcgDNxQjeRlzM_WrU1n4gA6WxDlBZ2wwQz3JK46dFntn6pjp7bawApJ4WWMQOzv20/s1600/Picture+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" ru="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUHo_iCMMgezuGMf0CZKfoNARDsuTbKokLg_Ng20T9uWjHX9F7srl4Cjtqdt_eab4R4_0B19HO3hqcgDNxQjeRlzM_WrU1n4gA6WxDlBZ2wwQz3JK46dFntn6pjp7bawApJ4WWMQOzv20/s320/Picture+001.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Sar and Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05276070899924528257noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-958041334842432727.post-16409359767202104782010-06-15T10:49:00.000-06:002010-06-15T10:49:33.999-06:00FYII had another doctors appointment yesterday. I am at 28 1/2 weeks. The last appointment I went to I had my gestational diabetes testing, which came back fine. I did however, have a low platelet count so they wanted me to come back and have some more lab work done so they could keep there eyes on it. I found out yesterday that the count had come back up. It was at 139,000 the second time it was at 145,000. Dr. Horsley said that the reason they watch it is for a condition called thrombocytopenia. It is common during pregnancy. However, if the count falls below 100,000 then they will not give you an epidural. The good news is that they will keep an eye on the count as I get closer to my due date. If it does fall below the 100,000 then they will just shoot me up with steroids and that should help the platelet count come up therefore I will be able to get the epidural. Which is good for everyone...because I DO NOT have a very high tolerance for pain! <br />
Oscar is no longer breech. Hooray! I even got to feel the outline of his head yesterday...it was incredible, although my reaction would have you think differently. Dr. Horsley asked it I wanted to feel where his head was, so he took my hands and placed them on my very lower belly and pushed my hands down and sure enough, it was there. My eyes got really wide and all I could manage to say was "oh, crap!" and Dr. Horsley asked if my first thought was "how in the hell am I gonna get that outta me?" Spot on! Must be a pretty common response!<br />
Anyway, mom and Oscar are doing awesome!Sar and Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05276070899924528257noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-958041334842432727.post-44152932223540925352010-06-10T11:44:00.000-06:002010-06-10T11:44:31.113-06:0028 weeksWell, 28 weeks down, 12 more to go. We are finally starting to put the finishing touches on the nursery and it is lookin' cu'ute! (pics soon to come!) Now I'm just looking forward to my baby showers coming up. My mom and Kathy will be doing one for me in June, then Trish and Brandy are doing one for me in July! I just know that they are going to be so much fun! <br />
Anyway, as I said before in my previous post I'm now in the 3rd trimester and starting to feel that way :) <br />
I feel like I have to pee 24/7, and I can't ever pee enough. It has even been kinda painful/uncomfortable at times. I think lil' Oscar is sitting in the absolute wrong spot...because I don't have that feeling all the time. He still hasn't got the hiccups. I'm starting to wonder if he will, it was something that I have wanted to experience because everyone who has says it's a really neat feeling! I think it is the coolest thing when he kicks and I can see my belly move from the outside, it still seems so weird to me!<br />
Last week I had to break down and buy me a maternity belt. I had a lot of pressure at the bottom of my belly and I felt like, if I could just get something to hold this thing (my belly) up I would feel way better. So I went and tried on a belt and it was amazing! I didn't realize how bad my lower back was hurting until I put that thing on. The second I got that thing on I was sold! <br />
Here is what Oscar is up to right now. (He is still the size of an eggplant - so no picture this week - see week 26 for that)<br />

Only 3 more months until we get to meet our baby boy Oscar. How exciting to finally put a face to the little man that has been kicking the crap out of me! 3 months???!!? W-O-W that snuck up on me, time is flying by! Some days I feel like I am completely ready, and others I start freaking out cause I need to get this and that done. It's a good thing I have Daniel around to keep me sane.<br />
So far my biggest symptom is my feet keep swelling up. Early in the day I'm fine but by the time I get home, that's when it really gets annoying and I can start to feel the pressure. I did have to buy me a fake wedding ring because my real one was getting tighter and tighter by the day. I have had a lot of growing pains in my belly for the last few days but that seems to be getting better. Other than that, everything is going great and we are super excited to become "Mom and Dad"!Sar and Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05276070899924528257noreply@blogger.com2
