She is here....

Sorry I did not post sooner but what with having a new baby and the boys home for summer (no school) it gets a bit tough to post, I have a little more time now that things are starting to feel normal again. I did post this on a couple message boards after having Adriana so I thought I would post it here to as an update for family and friends. We are all doing good, she is just the best baby ever! We all love her so much :) I took her one week pictures last Friday which I will either upload tonight or tomorrow (if it is tomorrow then I will upload her two week old pictures I will be taking tomorrow. I can't believe she is already almost two weeks, we actually went to her two week check up a day early (today) and she is doing great, at her one week check up she weighed 5lbs 8-9 oz, and todays check up she weighed 6lbs 3 oz so she is now gaining :). She is doing so good with the breastfeeding to. Just a sweet little baby :) Okay here is the Birth post and birth pictures...


We went in on Friday (6-8-07) to have Adriana (the original due date lol), when I got there I was dilated 4 1/2 cm (I was in labor at home for HOURS!). they hooked me up to the IV right away to start me on the meds for the GBS. They said that they would not break my water until I had two rounds of the meds. we got there around 2:40pm and they said we probably would not start trying for baby until 7:30pm so it was a waiting game. The contractions were not to bad but I decided to get an epi anyways because I knew it would be a long wait and that I should try and rest a little. I got the epi around 4pm. They could not track the contractions well on the machine, I only felt them in my lower back and lower ab's. Around 6:50pm I started feeling a bit of pressure in my behind area LOL, and from my first two PG's I knew this to be a sign of me being 10 cm dilated. I sat there a while waiting for the nurse to return, around 7:20 I felt a trickle of water and called out to the nurse again (they were busy ) I told her either my water just broke (which I never had happen before on it's own, or the catheter came out. So she decided to check me and sure enough I was 10 cm. She called in my Dr (who was on the floor) to come in that it was time to have the baby. They set things up and at about 7:35-7:40pm I started to push. I did not push very long, Adriana was born at 7:50pm. I could not believe how fast it was! With my two other births I remember the "feeling" of the crowning, the pressure. With Adriana I could hardly feel a thing and the epi was pretty much worn off, I understood after I saw her why I hardly felt her lol, she is sooooooo TINY!

She weighed 5lbs 13oz (I am use to big babies lol Austin was 7.5 and Aidan was 8lbs). She was born purple because the UC was wrapped around her neck 4 times, but bounced back right away. Dustin said when her head was out all he saw was hair lol, she was turned around so her face was facing down. I can not tell you all how excited, happy and thrilled we all are over this little girl We had to stay at the hospital until late last night, Saturday night Adriana went in to the nursery for the regular newborn tests and they found that she was at a high risk jaundice level for newborns. So all day Sunday she spent most of the time under the bili rays and on top of a bili blanket. I was so sad because I did not get to see her very much, they would bring her into our room for 30 minute feedings every 3 hours. We were so happy to bring her home late last night. We took her in to her PED today for another blood test, we are waiting to hear the results

Here are the pictures...

Oh yeah! So ready!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

I am soooooooo ready :) well ready in the sense that I would love to hold our baby and of course have my body back lol. I am getting way to excited and time is coming to an end for this wonderful journey. I however AM NOT ready in the sense that I still have not packed our hospital bags and today well I took most of it off to be a bit lazy, the boys managed to get the house that I spent this weekend cleaning a bit...well.....messy lol. Thoughts now go through my head as I type this blog post about waking up in the middle of the night (which is so bound to happen since I wake up ever half hour these nights) in labor (a THIS IS IT!!! If you will) and the house be the way it is (not that it is so bad lol) and no bags packed. We will have company all week after she is born and if I am woken up in the middle of the night in labor with nothing done then the company that will be here, will wonder what the heck I was doing all weekend LOL. I am totally serious!

Have you ever started something and had good intentions on finishing it but got into other things and just sort of left it there half done? Well, if you were to walk through our front door and walk in to our sitting room, there would be no where to sit. WHY? Well yesterday I deep cleaned my office/scraproom and moved out all the sorted boys baby/toddler clothes I had set aside to take pictures of for the LM clothes trading group and for eBay. Well I sort of just piled them all on to the couches in the sitting room, with perfect intentions on cleaning them up yesterday. Then of course I got to tired, and well today was said lazy day so, it did not happen. Clothes are still all over the sitting room for all to see. I have a good mind to just gather them all up and shove them in my office closet until after the baby is born and I have a little more enegy and time to deal with it (I will probably end up doing this LOL, eyeroll). I really wanted to get this done, but I just have no time and if I were to go into labor right now, it would be horrible to have all that out there for the company to see, let alone them not have a place to sit (besides the living room) lol.

For some strange reason, you can call it nesting if you like :) I HAVE to have this house clean before she gets here! When she comes and we go home from the hospital I want to walk into a clean house, where I don't have to worry or do anything, I can just relax and adjust to our new life.

With all this being said, even though my body and my mind say go to bed, I can't I must clean up this mess, you never know when labor will start ;)

Tomorrows post (If I am around) is going to be about what an amazing son I have in school! He brought home his yearly journal today and it just made me cry, so I wanted to share some of the pages :) He is just so darn smart!

Well I survived the carpet cleaning this weekend, for a while there I thought I would never get the 8 carpeted areas clean, or I would either go into labor trying or die LOL, it was hard work! I am so looking forward to tomorrow and kinda relaxing. I get to scrapbook YAY lol, I have a few more things to finish up for LRS and my DT stuff, fun stuff.

Okay well I better get into bed, It's late and I have to get up early to run a few errands. I will post more tomorrow :)

Her Nursery, Pictures, Babies R us Registry

Well I finally uploaded some of the pictures of what we did with her nursery. It is so far from being done, we still have more shelves to buy, the crib, changing table and the glider, this will be a few more weeks so she will be here before this is finished lol.

With the colors I chose ones I just loved from the Bazzill PINK mono pack lol, talking about being a scrapbooker LOL. The colors of her room are Beige, sweetheart, Petunia and white. D had such a great time working on the painting of the room, he did it in two days. He is so excited about having a daughter and this just made him so happy to do.

Now this room is called a retreat room which means another room that opens up off of a master bedroom (it also means there is a big arch way for a door (so no door, which is great, so when she wakes at night we can hear her.) This is the room that use to be my office/scraproom (and will be again someday lol, we plan to give her the bigger room (with door lol) that my office is in now when she is old enough to be away from her parents lol, so about 1 1/2 or 2, or when the time comes to get the BIG GIRL BED.)

Okay here are the pictures lol...

Like I said we did a lot of planning when it came to the paint and what we wanted for her room. Dustin took two sheets of the bazzill cardstock colors we liked down to Home Depot and had them custom make the paint for her room...

Here is a picture of the room before it was painted, sorry it's so yellow, it was taken at night so there was no natural light coming in from any of the windows.

D spent the first night just setting up the plastic on the floor, all the blue tape for masking off and getting things ready for the painting in the morning, here he is putting on the light pink color...

Here is the room just about finished, all that was left was cutting the moulding and adding it to the wall (where the white line is in the middle of the two pink colors....

Here is a picture of the wall with the moulding and her bassinet (sorry again for the picture this one was also taking at night).

Here is a closer look at the moulding...

When I get the room totally done i will post all the pictures :) but this is what we have done so far.


So my mom Told me that some of the family member who read my blog :) wanted to know what to get us for the baby, she said she told them just get clothes but it's not what they want to get, they want to get what we need, so a couple months ago I put together a Registry at BabiesRUS.com and have been adding things we could use. There are a few clothing items but it's mostly things we could use besides clothes. I thought I would post it here for you all to see (who asked for it), so here you go... (if you can get to it from the link then if you click on "Baby Registry" on the first page (Homepage) then you just have to fill in the info which is the Registry number 41179137

Here is the link I think LOL....

Adriana's Registry


Okay well I better get back to my cleaning :)

Still here

sigh, I am still here with baby in belly lol. I am in SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Much pain this past week, contractions left and right for hours, I am sooo soooo soooo tired these days, I managed to get the house all cleaned yesterday but that was so forced! Adriana dropped a while ago and she really adds so much pressure to my pelvic area, I can feel her head down there and if I lift my leg or move it in a different position I can feel her move her head back and forth. LOL Last night I decided to take a shower before bed, I also decided it was time to "TRY" and shave, it was the hardest thing to do! I was "trying" to bend and it hurt so bad and I could tell I was upsetting her so I just gave up lol. We are getting more and more excited everyday. I worked more on her room Monday, and it so far it looks good, i will upload a few pictures today when I get home from work. Ahhhh yes I am still working LOL, can have the baby anyday now and I am still working, this is my last week though and I LOVE the paychecks lol. Plus it has helped at keeping my mind away from the pain of being so far along in this pregnancy. Okay well I better get back to getting ready for work, I will post when I get home with a few photos.

Randomness yet again

WOW! It has been a while huh, sorry about that. We have been so super busy. This coming week is my last week of work so I should have more free time after that before the baby comes. Right now I am eating a bowl of Kellogg's raisin bran crunch (Ell-o govona, love that commercial lol) but secretly wishing I had me a bacon egg and cheese biscuit from McDonald's or even better Jack in the box, mmmmmmmm.

I should be getting ready for work but I find myself here, online reading emails and playing a little catch up on blogs and posts on the MB's. Now for some randomness.....


Cars- Why is it every time we get caught up with money and bills and make plans for something really fun, the cars decide to die on us, and almost always at the same time? So my explorers brakes died, It cost $1,700+ to fix it (thankfully my folks helped us out with this because WOW, To get brakes fixed (to actually pay for just the parts involved) it is not to much money, but they really give it to you with labor costs! I mean one small piece that costs $12.99 costs $150.00 for them to put in! It was over $1000 just in labor. Fast forward to this week, D's VW bug (and hobby car) died on him, this time it's the tranny, so now that is another $1,300 we have to put into a car.


Vacation (NOT!)- So D and I have been planning this small, tiny, little vacation to the VW show in Sacramento this weekend for a while now, this time we have a babysitter for the boys (MIL) and working car (the explorer) and everything is set. Well not really now (SEE ABOVE "Cars"), I feel horrible :( Dustin really deserves this, he has been working so hard lately with both his jobs, This show was really for him, we went not to long ago here in town and took the boys, bad idea! LOL They were whiny the whole time, I think a bit of the heat and just being a bit to young to enjoy it made for the bad day, well this new trip and show was suppose to be the reward for D's hard work and said bad day above. But now that the VW Bug is in the shop, that took away any money and plans we had for this weekend. I really wanted this for him and selfishly for me, this was our chance! A chance to get away, together, just the two of us before the baby came.


Boys- Austin is doing such an amazing job this year in school, I can not believe how smart our son is! His teacher just loves him so much to, she says if she had the power to clone she would totally have a cloned Austin. I am amazed at school Austin and how differently he is from Home Austin LOL. School Austin is so well behaved, he has NEVER been in trouble, he gets awards weekly for his smarts and for how well he behaves, he is so totally smart and his favorite thing..... "MATH" where did that come from lol ;) although I was good at math (Thanks Dad) when I put my mind to it, I HATED it lol, my favorite subject was English/Reading and writing. This school year my son has learned so many things, he reads and writes, does math and can school his own mom on animal life and ocean life, he is simply amazing!
Aidan is doing great to! He has been spending alot of time with my parents (they babysit while I work), he really enjoys their company, and talks about them all the time when we are not with them. He misses them on the days I have off from work lol, it's really cute. Between swimming, Tball practice and games, school, park play and everyday life with the boys, they really keep me on my feet :)


Baby- We spent last weekend working more on her room, I took pictures (Before and afters) of the painting we did. I really like it! I chose two pink colors from the Bazzill Mono lines (LOL) and D had the guys at home depot mix us up the paint that match the bazzill samples. Her room colors are the two pinks, white and a cream/tan color. We plan to try and finish up what we can this weekend. I can not wait to finally meet her :) I am getting so close, the boys are so excited, D can't wait.


I have a million more things to say but no time to write it all out right now, I need to get things ready for work, I will try and post more tonight when I get home.

Happy Easter, big girl Jewelry, randomness

LOL As I type I just asked my husband for the Cereal box to finish off the milk in my bowl, anyone else have to do this? lol

HAPPY Easter. We are all almost ready to go to the San Jose Bike blessing, something we have been doing as a family since Austin was born, in those 6 years we have only missed one year and it was when we lived in Idaho. PHEW I finally have a little time to breathe. I have been so busy lately which has made me so tired. But then at 8 months pregnant one tends to be more tired right? I am getting so excited to meet Miss. Adriana. She is so very active, which is the best thing ever, I love feeling her move. DH's aunt (and my boss at work) threw me the most wonderful surprise baby shower on March 23rd. I walked in to see our whole family (well the woman in our family lol, in laws and all.) it was amazing. I cried lol. I will post pictures of the goodies Miss. Adriana got later (probably tomorrow).

Austin started his first year of Little league, he is in T-Ball and LOVES it. He is a Yankee lol. I will upload pictures of that too soon.

I was going through my jewelry box this morning and realized that I have alot of junk jewelry, jewelry that I LOVE but not "real" jewelry, I mean I have some "real" pieces but a lot of cheaper stuff too, I think I need to start upgrading lol, I LOVE jewelry, I have a lot but I want fancy stuff lol. So I am going to start collecting ;) some lol and adding to what I have.

Okay I know short but sweet lol, We are now on our way out so I must go. I will post those pictures soon. HAPPY Easter again.

Whoa my Mary Janes....

" When I wear my Mary Jane shoes, I can escape from the blues, the whole world seems a little bit brighter, brighter, brighter, My heavy steps get a little bit lighter, lighter. I'm just like a child in underoos, from my heart, to my soles, I feel like I am seven, from my head to my toes it's like I'm in heaven, Whoa my Mary Janes, Whoa my Mary Janes, Whoa my Mary Janes, Whoa my Mary Janes. Whoa now, Whoa now. When ever I wear my Mary Jane shoes, I enjoy to spin the ones and twos, music has another dimension, and I dance with a different perception, whoa my Mary Janes, Whoa my Mary Janes." Song sung to the tune of "No woman no cry" ~ Bob Marley

Love that song by Fergie, When I heard it for the first time months ago I Screamed and then thought AMAZING! Another person just as in love with Mary Janes as I am and there is an AWESOME song (lol it's one of my phone ring tones)! I Have had the love of "Mary Janes" since I was a little girl. No kidding I have pictures of me at least 4 years old in them :) (maybe I will post one lol). Growing up I had lots of different pairs, When we go into San Francisco I have to hit up China Town and pick up a pair of the "old school" Mary Janes, this has become a tradition for me (some of mine are plain, some have flowers, one pair even has cherries lol, I even have a few pair of dressy heel Mary Janes) LOVE THEM!

One name brand company that I have come to LOVE for new style MJ's is "Keen" though they can be a bit to pricey lol, they have AWESOME shoes! I love their Seattle, Berkeley, Calistoga, Malibu, Selway, Humboldt and Chelsea's to name a few LOL. Here is what a few of my favorites look like, and YES I love all the different colors too :) lol

Our second 3D-4D ultrasound

We had our second 3D-4D Ultrasound yesterday. This time my MIL was able to make it there with us which was so great! The session was a little over an hour (I was so surprised and happy, it is such a wonderful place and he was so sweet to work with us and Miss. Adriana again lol.) She of course again was playing the "hide my face game", she will show us all her "Girlie Parts" but not her face, it so cute! We spent MOST of the hour trying all kinds of different ways to get her to move. He had me turn to my sides, cough alot, and a couple times I had to march around the office lol and down the hallway. About 10 minutes to 3:00pm (we had our appointment at 2:00pm) he was about to give up on her ever showing her face, she just loves to have her hands on it and lol even sometimes she will have her feet up near her face (a few times she was sucking on her fingers and toes (we got this all on DVD). I wanted to try something we do at home at night when I am laying in bed, I will have Dustin or one of the boys talk to my tummy. She often moves when we do this. It was amazing to actually get to see her re-act to it this time though. So there I was laying on the bed, and I had Aidan ask her to please move her hands from her face so we can see her, I kid you not (lol again it's all on DVD lol) the second he started talking to her she moved her hands. Aidan kept saying things to her and finally just started singing it to her LOL (He does this all the time, he will sing about what he is doing) By him doing this we were able to get a few shots of her with no hands in her face and a few with just her hands at her lips but we could see most of her face. I CAN NOT believe how much she looks like her brother Austin (lol I know that sounds nuts, BUT I swear just look at these pictures, I should post a profile picture of Austin when he was born and you will see what I mean lol).

Altogether this was another amazing visit. I am so glad we decided to get these 3D-4D Ultrasounds done this time around. This will be our last baby so it makes it extra special for us. We got a few of the 2D ultrasounds done with the boys and all the ones I got each visit to my doctor's office this time around with Adriana, but this was something so different from those, so special for us all, it made it 100 times better have the boys old enough to understand what was going on and what we were all experiencing. I will share the pictures at the end of this blog :)

WHEW, Can I breath now lol, I can not believe I actually have some free time this month LOL, so much has been going on, BUSY BUSY BUSY! This month (so far) has the most stuff written on the calendar for things to do, and this coming week will be the one week where there is a bunch of things going on each day. I have school exams next week, work, appointments, an in office Dr.s Ultrasound where they check baby measurements, Austin's school has stuff going on, Austin's birthday party at Chuck E cheese's, and the list goes on and on. LOL Are you tired from just reading all that? This weekend I was hoping to take it easy, but there are so many things around the house to do plus I have homework and should be studying for my exams next week. I also need to list some eBay auctions and get a little "ME TIME" scrapbooking in somewhere ;)

Okay well I better get the kitchen straighten up and then I am going to take a much needed nap :)

OOPS lol ......... sorry BLOG

I totally spaced on my blog this past month, sorry about that! So much has been going on and March is gonna be another busy month for all of us. I have Work of course, School, test to take for school (two day all dayers lol), teo Doctor's appointments, two ultrasounds from the Doctor's office appointments, Austin's birthday party and camping with the whole family lol. LOTS of stuff going one. I am tired just thinking about it.

I changed the song on my blog (hee hee does that make you happy Melissa ;)) I put one of my all time favorite artists Norah Jones on. Dustin bought me her CD a few weeks ago and I have been hooked on it! It is soooooooooo GOOD! So if you like good music this is a CD you should pick up.

We found out we are having a GIRL. I had a 3D/4D ultrasound done last month after my regular (now past doctor, I switched hospitals) still could not tell what we were having because the baby was hiding her parts lol by crossing her legs. The 3D/4D ultrasound was amazing! I got a wonderful DVD of the whole thing and even got some pictures of it, One in which shows her parts lol. WE are so excited about having a girl to add to our family (although I would have been just as excited with another boy). We have had a girls name picked out since before Aidan was born so now we finally get to use it :) Her name is Adriana Isabelle (Adriana is a name I have had picked out for soooooo long, heck back when I was PG with Aidan in 2002 posted that that was the girl name I wanted) and Isabelle is one Dustin and I talked about when that old TV show Roswell was on, I loved the name from that show and now the same actress whole played Isabelle plays an Isabelle "Izzie" on my FAVORITE show "Grey's Anatomy". I also have an aunt in Ireland named Isabelle, so it is a name in the family.

I have started getting her room ready for her, since time is flying and she will be here before we know it. She is staying in our retreat room off of our bedroom (my old office) and I have moved my office to the old playroom/guest room. When she is bigger this office will then become her room. We have been picking out paint colors at Home depot, I plan on making the design myself, I have started sketching the paint designs in a notebook and we will be getting the paint withen the next week or so. I can't wait, It is going to be Mono Pink colors ( like pressed flower, strawberry freeze, exotic bloom and sugar plum) there will be circle designs that I hand make, I can't wait to get started! All furniture will be white, so it will really stand out with the painted walls.

Dustin is having such a great time with this too! Everytime we are out shopping he wants to get girlie clothes, it is so sweet to watch him. I have gone a little nuts with the girlie scrapbookproducts lol, and I am so excited because I have started working on her book already, I am making it of course a baby album BUT also filling it with BOM pages about the pregnancy, there is a cravings page of what I love eating while pregnant, a page on my FAVORITE maternity clothes ( LOVE Paris blue and american star maternity jeans), things like that. Maybe when she starts her own family (WAY down the road lol) this book/album will be helpful for her.

I have a few layouts to share here to, I just need to resize them all :)

Okay I better get back to my LRS DT work for March. I will try to post more often I promise, even if it is short and sweet lol :)

TTYL,

Nikki
