<span style="font-size: large;">Early on I decided I wanted to have a drug free birth. Much of this decision was because I wanted to be sure I could breastfeed. I'll come back to how these two things are related in a while. In my opinion, Breastfeeding is THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do for not only the health of you and your baby, but also for bonding!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Not being a "Pain" person, I decided I would hire a Doula, AKA a Labor Coach. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19.196969985961914px;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">April of 2011 - Preconceptual Visit - I wanted to have an all natural drug free birth and was told I couldn't have a Doula or a Midwife assist because they "tend to step on the nurses toes"!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Started doing LOTS more research.... decided on hiring a Midwife.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">September of 2011 - Found out we were expecting, interviewed Carol Hutson, Tiny Blessings Maternity Care, asked about Birth Center or other options and found out that Home Birth was the best choice!</span></div>

Where does the time go? Seriously!? It is FLYING by! This summer has gone by so fast! <br />

Looking back on it, even the time waiting for Tenley to COME when all my family was here seems like it went by way too fast as well. I know I was huge-gantic and all, but I wish I'd had more energy to hang out and enjoy my fam being here! I shoulda made Becca make me a copy of her amazing cookbook she's compiling! And I shoulda had her show me how to make that delicious bread of hers! Shoulda gotten in more sister time and more mommy time! That's one thing I love about my relationships is that, even though we're all far away, when we do get together, it's like we've never been apart. We can just relax and do LIFE together, without it being a big hassle. I LIKE that about my and Bec's relationship and my family's relationships, BUT at the same time, looking back on it, I wish I'd been up for the challenge of making sure they all know how much it meant to me that they were here!!! I wish I'd been able to make it more QUALITY time as opposed to just 'hanging out'. I guess I just thought we'd have more time once Tenley arrived, but then everyone had to go so quickly after being here waiting for so long... LUCKILY we get to go to Dallas tomorrow to see Becca and Stephen!!! I'm so excited about that! It'll be WAY too quick of a trip, but at least we get to go!<br />
<br />
Guess I'm just feeling sentimental that it's already been two and a half months! Sweet Tenley is growing like a weed! She's smiling huge smiles that will MELT YOUR HEART!!! And she's thisclose to laughing! We've heard a few sounds that I'm pretty sure were sweet little laughs, but not a 100% full out laugh yet. I can't wait for that though! She is almost 12 pounds now, she's such a good eater! I'm still exclusively breastfeeding and T has never had a bottle. I kinda wonder if she'd even take one if I tried, after not having much success with the pacifier!!! Sooner or later, I'll get around to trying out the pump, but I love nursing. It is such a special experience, one I wouldn't give up for the world!! I love the way she stares in to my eyes, and I love when she takes a break from sucking and she gives me this huge smile and milk runs out of her mouth! I even love burping her and hearing these HUGE manly burps come out of this tiny body! I'm so glad I had the loving support from Luke to encourage our breastfeeding relationship. Even though he can't help me ACTUALLY feed her, he has been WONDERFUL and creating a successful breastfeeding environment. From getting me water to actually FEEDING me my dinner while I fed T, to finding the boppy/My Breastfriend pillow, to handing me my phone and the TV remotes to burping T for me, to picking her up to hand her to me, alllll kinds of things, he has just been such an incredible help. Always sweet and pleasant, even after the millionth time I asked him for a drink of water! I'm so lucky God picked out Luke for me! He is an amazing husband and father! We are the Luckiest girls alive! <br />
<br />
Today, Luke came home around noon, and he played with Ten while I showered and got ready. Then the three of us went to the hair salon to get my hair done.<br />

Not many men love their wives enough to accompany them to the hair salon to babysit while mommy gets pretty! Tenley is such a daddy's girl! And who could blame her? T was an angel the whole time we were there! I was so proud of her! She even took a nap in her carseat and she was sprawled out in the CUTEST position! Wish I'd been able to get a picture! It was precious. Daddy had to leave at about 3:30 to head up to the High School for Band practice.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, we went to get a sonic drink and Tenley got REAAAAALLLLY mad for some reason! I HATE when she cries in the car and there is nothing I can do about it! It was Happy Hour at Sonic and they were really backed up and taking forever, so after I paid, I pulled into a stall and crawled in the back seat to get T out of her carseat! She was crying big crocodile tears and I felt soo sorry for her! She wouldn't even nurse at first, she was THAT mad! Poor baby! What are you supposed to do when they get upset but you're in the CAR??? I need to find that chapter in an Attachment Parenting book and see if there is some advice! It's not always feasible to pull over/stop and get her out of the carseat! But my goal as a Mom is to be so tuned in to my children's needs that they never need to cry for long. Just to let me know there's an issue, and then it's up to me to solve it! I NEVER want to hear them cry like that and I'll certainly never let them cry it out!! It KILLS me to hear her cry like that! Hate. IT! <br />
<br />
After I finally got her calmed back down, we headed up to the High School to hear the last part of Daddy's rehearsal! The band is playing an original show that Luke wrote and it is AWESOME! All the kids were so excited to see Tenley! We're keeping them from all wanting to hold her by insisting they wash their hands first. Surprisingly, thats enough to deter most of them from really wanting to hold her. One young guy, probably a freshman, came up to see her while she was sitting in her carseat and he put his hand out and waved at her. I dunno, maybe you had to see it, but I just thought it was hilarious that this young kid who clearly knows nothing about babies, wanted to come see her and say hi. It was cute. Oh and High School kids are awkward. lol<br />
<br />
I've been working on ordering some Birth Announcements.....<br />
<br />
Since we didn't exactly get the shot we needed during our Newborn shoot to do the Announcement we picked out way back in like, April, trying to be 'ahead of the game' and all.... I just got mad and decided not to do any announcements.... but then I got an email from a family member asking about them, so I decided to go ahead and make some. The one we had picked out was this one:<br />

We both loved the fonts, as I like the curly one and Luke likes the plain ones, so this was a good compromise for us. We loved the simplicity and the black background, but we just didn't get a shot like this since our newborn photoshoot was pretty much a disaster! so instead.... I found this one from tinyprints.com :</div>

Here's just a sneak peek at what they will look like! (Obviously, not actually Tenley!) They're pretty stinkin' expensive, but that's why I didn't do Christmas cards this year, knowing we'd be spending lots of money on Announcements, so hey! It'll be alright! </div>
<br />
Let's see... what else is going on. I haven't blogged in forever, even though it's been on my list!<br />
Never have two hands to type and I am WAY too verbose to try typing one handed! lol<br />
<br />
Ten has been going to sleep about 10pm the last few nights, so right now, she's sleeping in ther cosleeper next to our bed, and I'm sitting in bed trying to catch up on the blog! I finally decided to just start where I am, as opposed to trying to catch up the past 11 weeks b/c that's such a daunting task that I was just getting farther and farther behind! Hopefully I'll be able to catch up those missed weeks eventually!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we're packing up and heading to Dallas! We're going to stay with Jeremy and Marti and their darling kiddos, which will be a blast! Going to have sushi with some friends on Saturday, hopefully get in a Babies R Us trip to try on the Ergo Baby carrier, and then SUNDAY we will go to Justin, TX to see Becca and hang out at her friend Sarah's house for Sarah's daughter Ava's 5th birthday! We'll have to leave mid-afternoon, which will NOT be long enough with Becca, but it IS the day before school starts for Luke, so this is the best we can do. I'm just happy we're getting to go at all! We're also taking Charry, my girl kitty:<br />

<br />
Well, it's been a while since I've had two hands to type! But I keep thinking of things I want to blog about before I forget how cute and tiny Tenley was in the beginning! She's still cute and tiny, but getting bigger every moment! Her facial features are more and more developed, and her little personality is really starting to shine! She's done so many cute and memorable things, and I never want to forget any of them, but theres only room for so many penguins on the iceberg! Ya know, in order for one more penguin (memory) to get ON the iceberg, if it's crammed to maximum capacity, one other penguin (memory) has to jump OFF to make room! lol. Love that visual analogy.<br />

But I'm determined to preserve as many penguins, er, memories as possible on here, so even if I don't ever get around to making an old fashioned scrapbook for T, at least she'll have this! I still have all the stuff that was meant to go into a High School scrapbook and never happened, so here's hoping I can keep up with this at least! ;-)<br />
<br />
Ok, so as always, a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'm going to try to rewind down memory lane and make up for the silence of the past 8 weeks in one (probably long) post!<br />

6/9/12: Saturday (Tenley's Birthday) and Sunday are such a blur. I actually don't remember a whole lot of anything about Saturday. I must've just been recuperating and trying to get to know Tenley and learning how to nurse! I was struggling a little with getting her latched on properly, so Saturday evening, we had a lactation consultant, Donna Hanson, come by. She was sooo nice and super helpful. Immediately, she corrected my hold on Tenley, showing me how to hold her in a better position, "Cross Cradle" with the opposite arm, and use my hand on the side she was nursing on to help hold my breast in a position that Tenley could latch on to more easily. Genius! lol. Not at all what comes instinctually, but much better of a hold for T. She also showed me how to do "Football Hold" which we also liked, because it made it easier for me to see Tenley's precious face while feeding her, and allowed us to have more eye contact time. Nursing didn't come easily, and it HURT SO MUCH MORE than I'd expected. Every time I'd latch her on, I'd stomp my feet and make a "chuffing" sound like a tiger! (learned that on "We Bought a Zoo!" Thanks mom!) <br />
<br />
My right side is a little bit flat, meaning the nipple doesn't poke out as much as "normal" and makes it hard for Tenley to get ahold of it. Donna suggested we try a nipple shield to help Tenley be able to get a good latch. A nipple shield is a clear, flexible plastic circle with a pointed nipple shape in the middle. You basically just stick it over your own nipple area and when the baby latches on, it gives her more surface area to take into her mouth to learn how to nurse. I hesitated to even mention this because naturally, I felt a little bit of shame that my own body wasn't good enough or capable of feeding my baby and that I needed help from some artificial piece of plastic to do it, BUT since learning from this experience and talking with more women, I've found that Nipple Shield usage is actually very common! If we all feel the need to hide it from each other, but we're all doing it, that's so silly. Talking about things, and making them more well known to other women, takes out the shame and guilt over them, because that is the last thing women need, something extra giving us body issues! Child birth and breastfeeding is certainly one of those things we as a culture, SADLY, know nothing about. In the "olden" days, when women took care of other women in their families and towns, young mothers knew all these things, tips and tricks and what is "normal" and what isn't, because they'd been AROUND other women figuring it out their whole lives! I think when births moved into the hospitals and everything became so private, we really lost something inherent to womanhood, and that is the bonds of knowledge that should be shared between us as we go through the Rite of Passage of becoming mothers! Anyhow, off my soapbox! ;-) Just know that I'll always share things that others might not, in the hopes of my experiences helping at least one person to feel better about whatever it is they are going through!<br />
<br />
So, Saturday night, Donna was here helping, and Carol, our midwife, came back to check on us, and it was so fun, sitting around with these great, knowledgable women, picking their brains and learning from them. I loved having all my family and my bestie (who is family too) here with me. My dad had gone back to North Carolina earlier in the week and was planning to make it back on Friday, the day I was in labor, and had her that night, but he ended up with a nasty tummy bug and the doctor in NC said he shouldn't come back and be around the baby for 10 days! So he didn't get to come back, which was SAD, but at the same time, it gave me a lot more freedom to wander around shirtless as I was trying to figure out how to nurse Tenley and as I was healing from the labor/birthing process. Luke and I prayed every night that whoever was meant to be present at the birth was who would be here, and that we would be OK with whoever that was, whether it was NO ONE but the two of us (and Carol, we hoped!) or us and Becca, or us and Caitlin and Mama Sue or everyone like it ended up being, thankfully! Even though dad missed it, I know he was with us in spirit and it sure was nice to not have to worry about the clothes I had on!<br />
<br />
Sunday morning, Becca had to leave. I was so sad for her to go. She had been here with me for two and a half weeks. Not many adult best friends love you enough to leave their husbands, furry babies, jobs, and lives to come and support a friend/sister going through the biggest life change ever. I don't have the words to express what having her here meant to me. She cooked some of the most amazing food, all from scratch! Her homemade bread was SCRUMPTIOUS! She canned salsa and spaghetti sauce for us, made countless delicious meals, and I was SO proud to have her here and call her my best friend. Not to even mention the incredible photographs that she took during my labor and birth, or what a source of strength she was for me during the times I thought I couldn't make it. I am forever grateful that she loves me enough to come and stay 2 weeks past my due date to be here for the birth of my daughter. Love you Bec!<br />
<br />
Sunday afternoon, the Brannans and the McKnights came to meet Miss Tenley and that was so much fun to show her off to our friends! Wish we'd gotten a picture of that! :-/ Ooops! I've been getting so mad at myself for missing out on photo ops when every single person has a camera (aka iphone!) in their pocket! There is no excuse! lol. I did get this one Sunday after everyone left! She was so tiny back then! aww!<br />

I don't remember a whole bunch else besides that on Sunday, other than I'm sure Grammy and Mama Sue and Caitlin had her the whole time, because they knew they had to leave the following morning! :((( <br />
<br />
6/11/12 - Mom, Mama Sue and my sis had to take off bright and early Monday morning! I was SO sad to see them go and I felt completely lost and abandoned that they were going and leaving me with this tiny baby to take care of! How was I going to do it without their help?!?! <br />

The highlight of our first week was our attempt at taking Newborn Photos on Saturday the 16th. It was a total fail. Tenley refused to go to sleep or stay that way once I finally managed to nurse her to sleep. She wouldn't let Hannah pose her at all and she cried for the vast majority of the several hours we tried to get her pics. :( Luke was wearing a black dress shirt for our family pics, and so of course, that would be the time Tenley decided to spit up for the first time ever! Haha! I had even asked Hannah, who has 3 children of her own, if all babies spit up, because ours never had... it wasn't probably 15 minutes later that Luke had spit up all down his dress shirt! Ten also decided to poop all over the white fuzzy backdrop you see above, AND then she peed on the second backdrop Hannah laid down. But we did get this one sweet photo and several great family pics too. Hannah agreed she'd come back the next day, even though it was Father's Day, and we could try again.<br />
<br />
The next day, Luke's First Father's Day, we had plans to go over to his uncles house to see his aunt, uncle and their kids, his mom and dad, and his mom's dad. We were a little nervous about our first outing with Tenley and wondering how we would handle all those people wanting to hold her and touch her, and of course, being worried about germs and whatnot! But, we were counting on her staying awake from being passed around from person to person and figured that would help make her extremely tired so that she'd sleep really well when Hannah came back to take her pictures.<br />
<br />
Tenley started getting sleepy around noon, so we figured that putting her in her carseat would wake her up, because she usually hates it! But no, she fell right to sleep. We stopped at Walgreens to get a few things, thinking she'd wake up if we got her OUT of the carseat to take her in, we tried that, and NO, she stayed sound asleep! She even slept through being put BACK in the carseat and she never does that! So, instead of heading to his uncles, as planned, we called Hannah and said she was sleeping, so could she meet us at the house right then!? Hannah said yes, and so we zoomed home. Wouldn't you know, by the time Hannah got to the house, moments after we arrived ourselves, T woke up and was screaming again and refused to sleep for us? Hannah did her best to get some cute pics, but we were still relatively unsuccessful. By the time Hannah left, everyone had left from Luke's uncles house too, and so we messed up our whole day and still didn't have any amazing newborn pics to show for it!!! I was soo mad and emotional I just cried and cried! I think I cried way more AFTER Tenley arrived than I did while I was pregnant for sure!<br />
<br />
Later that night, we decided to attempt going to our very first restaurant.... Chilis! Luke's fave.<br />
We took the scenic route on the way there and T fell asleep in her carseat, so we thought we might have a chance! We went in, got our table, Nastasha, a former band kiddo, was our waitress, which made it fun, and T stayed asleep, ooooh about till the minute our food came! Then she woke up and cried and cried! So Daddy stuffed his food in his mouth and took her outside to walk around! I wouldn't exactly call it a "success" but at least we had our first attempt out of the way, which made for less anxiety every other time we've gone out to eat since then!<br />

Wow, so where to begin??? I just reread my last post from June 6th. Hard to even remember a time BT (before Tenley)!!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So on that day, Wednesday, the 6th, I had the acupuncture done. The doctor had told me between 12-24 hours labor would start and sure enough... At about 2am Thursday morning, the 7th, I was woken up with what I'm considering my first "real" contraction. Little did I know at that time that FORTY EIGHT hours later, Miss Tenley would arrive!!! I was able to fall back asleep for the rest of the night, but I was mildly aware of the contractions which continued coming all night. I woke up around 8am and started timing my contractions again. The intervals were all over the place, between 9 and 20 minutes apart, and they didn't seem to be getting any more painful than they had been, but they were definitely REGULAR. These contractions continued all day, and I did my best to just rest and nap and try to relax and take it easy! We watched Hugo and I made baked Brie! That's really the only thing I remember doing on Thursday.<br />
<br />
Thursday night, by about 10pm, they were still coming, and getting much closer together, between about 5-10 minutes apart, but the intervals were still all over the place! 7.5 min, 14 min, 9 min, 5 min, 11 min.... It was crazy! According to my App I was in "Active First Stage Labor"!!! I couldn't believe this was really it though because I'd been having contractions for days, but these did seem more "real" I thought! I was texting back and forth with Carol and just keeping her posted on our progress. She asked if they were getting stronger, and they were, over all, but some were still pretty mild, in comparison to others! I was feeling good at this point, and I was excited, but I'd been having so many contractions for so long, that I didn't exactly BELIEVE that this was really it! We were planning to stay up and watch a movie, but Carol told me I needed to head to bed! Sure am glad I listened to her!!! ;-) Lord knows I was going to need all the rest I could get! I was up most of the night breathing through the contractions that continued to just roll through my body! Becca and Caitlin were too excited to sleep! They ended up going to Walmart for art supplies and staying up all night making my Birth Affirmation signs that I never got around to making! At about 4am, they realized Luke and I were awake, and came in our room to show us the signs they'd made. They were AWESOME and I was so happy that they'd made them for me. Made it even more special! They were so excited, and kept encouraging me to call Carol, but I just wasn't ready to believe that this could really be it! We hung out for like an hour or something, and at around 5:30, I had to get up to pee, and being upright made me really grouchy!!! I told them we needed to TRY to go to sleep and that I would plan on calling Carol at 6 or 7 or some time that seemed more reasonable than 5am! <br />

around 10 or so on the Thursday night before Tenley arrived, everyone except
for Caitlin and me. Em wanted these
quotes posted all around the room so that she could see them while she was in
labor. Caitlin and I decided to get
crafty. We went to Walmart, Walgreens, and then back to the house for an all night event. : ) We
made about 30 brightly colored posters with quotes and decorated them with
stickers. While doing so, we watched
Chicago and the Little Mermaid! Around 4
am, Caitlin and I went “to bed”, although we were certain we would not sleep
because we were so anxious waiting for Tenley.
Not long after we realized that Em and Luke were up and moving, so we
checked in on them and the labor progress.
Em seemed uncomfortable, and was anti-call Carol at that point, so she
decided we all needed to go back to bed.
I stayed awake until 8 am, and then re-woke when Carol arrived for the
first time that day. The photos that I
took, are the best way to keep up with the timeline. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
On Friday the 8th, I "woke up" around 8ish, but really I'd been awake to some degree all night! I texted Carol around 9am, telling her I was having crazy heartburn that nothing was helping, and that I'd been having contractions all night and that they were "really hurting" (ha! I didn't know what the word "hurt" meant yet!) at that point! Luke called her around 10ish and told her I was getting really ouchie and that we were ready for her to come by and perhaps check me and see if I was getting dilated at all. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: orange;">Becca: Carol got to the
house between 10-10:30am on Friday, 6-8-12.</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: 13.5pt;">Luke: When Carol got there I met her outside and the first thing she asked was "Did she get any sleep last night?" And I said that Em hadn't slept that well and much at all because of the contractions and Carol's facial expression read something like "Oh boy, she's going to wish she would've slept!"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 19px;">Em: It's not like I didn't TRY! lol</span></div>

<br />
(Keep in mind that I had only had one vaginal check prior to this point, which was on the Tuesday before, the 5th. We let Carol check, but asked her not to tell us what, if anything, I was dilated to, just because we didn't want to psyche ourselves out either way, if I was actually dilated a little or especially if I wasn't dilated at all, I knew that would be discouraging to me after enduring allllll these contractions, so I didn't want to know! BUT we figured, if Carol knew what was going on, she could at least advise us on a plan of action, which she did, including that huge list of things on the last post I made, and we "curb walked" a lot, where you walk with one foot on the curb of the street and the other foot on the road... Can't imagine how crazy an almost-42 week preggo looks doing that! Luke and my mom were sweet enough to do it with me at least! )<br />
<br />
So, even though I really didn't want to know what I was dilated to (or not), I was motivated by and excited about blowing up my birth pool and getting it filled, but I knew I had to be at 5cm before I could get in the water so that it wouldn't stall out my labor! I was hurting quite a bit at this point, had only gotten out of bed to pee. I just wanted to be laying down, in the comfort of my own bed, with my own pillows and my own husband near by, and I wanted to be left alone to drift in and out of consciousness as I tried to sleep through the waves of pain wracking my body. <br />
<br />
Carol showed up a little while later and did the exam.... Good news and Bad news.... I was 100% effaced already! Yay! But I was only dilated to a TWO!!! Talk about a blow to the ego! After suffering through all those contractions for the past several days, I was SURE I would have been farther along than that! But no. Someone, ever the optimist, pointed out that it meant I only had 3 more centimeters to go before I could get in the pool! But to me, at that time, that seemed like it'd be eons away.... Exactly the kind of discouraging thoughts that kept me from wanting to know in the first place!<br />
<br />
Before she left, Carol gave me some nasty herbal drink that was supposed to help me sleep through the contractions, but instead it made me puke. She said that the puking probably earned me another centimeter at least! ;) So much for that idea! <br />
<br />
Carol left at that point to go run some errands, and told me to try to get some rest. ha! She came back later, mid-afternoon, and this is where things start getting a little bit fuzzier for me... Time kinda loses it's sense of meaning after all this time sleeping and hurting! Sleeping and hurting and sounding out my contractions, sleeping and hurting and sounding out my contractions. That's pretty much how the rest of Friday progressed in my brain.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: orange;">Becca: From 10:27am-3:32pm I
do not remember anything, and for whatever reason there are not any pictures
during this time. It is possible that we
were all cooking/cleaning/napping/waiting during these few hours. </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: 13.5pt;">Luke: I think this is when Carol pretty much said that Em needs to rest, and she's going to have a hard time resting if there were a bunch of people standing around staring at her and talking to her, so everybody except for me left. During these few hours I'm pretty sure Em was in the bed the whole time and we all alternated taking care of her. When Carol came the first time she introduced the concept of having hot towels in the crock-pot. Em would relax in between contractions, then when it was time for a contraction, she would let us know, and we would get the towels ready, one for her belly and one for her back. There were usually 1-3 people in the room at any given time, and we all pretty much swapped out on towel duty. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
Carol came back around 2pm I'm thinking maybe. I never did put my contacts in so I couldn't see the clock! Which is funny, because if you remember my "Birth Plan" from a while back, being "allowed" to wear my contacts (if we were to end up at the hospital) was one of the items on there! We had prepared sooo many things for my labor... Becca planned to braid my hair so it'd be out of my face, I'd put together an awesome "Labor Playlist" of music to listen to, I had the Hypnobabies recordings and relaxation exercises in a playlist on my phone too, we had tons of relaxation scripts to read dog-eared in books, plus my awesome affirmations posted all around the room, plus I had planned out this great smorgasbord of "Labor Food" that I never even THOUGHT about once I was actually in labor, much less ventured into the kitchen to eat! Never got around to doing or using any of that! Crazy!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Caitlin: We sure enjoyed the food though! And when I say us, I mean ALL of us…especially Champ (the diabetic kitty) who had rolls of ham in his mouth when we walked into the kitchen!</span></div>
<br />
<br />
I never even left my bedroom from Thursday night at 10pm, til Saturday morning sometime. This labor was progressing much differently than I expected, based on all the sweet homebirth stories I'd read and imagined for myself. I pictured walking around the house, we bought and planned to watch "We Bought a Zoo" to distract me from the early contractions. My family had already seen this movie, and they loved the little girl in it so much, they said she made them imagine that's how Tenley might look and act when she was 5 or 6! (One can hope, b/c she IS adorable!) I even planned some "Labor projects" including a cross-stitch bib, ha! Unfortunately,<span style="background-color: white;"> my hands were too swollen and carpal-tunnely to cross-stitch anything! lol</span><br />
<br />
Oh, and we were sooo concerned about how I was going to make it through labor without a snow cone!!! My sister tried to get Mike, the Snow Cone stand owner, to sell us some Cheesecake flavored syrup so we could make our own, but he couldn't do that, and in the end, we bought a JUMBO snowcone and put in the freezer to save. I had ONE spoonful of it, around midnight maybe, and let me just say that is probably where I got the strength to go on from! ;-) But I definitely wasn't as concerned about my snowcone as I expected to be. Or anything else for that matter. <br />
<br />
The contractions completely took over my mind and body, much more entirely than I'd expected. I had envisioned being a lot more coherent during my labor than I ended up being. Especially after watching so many other home birth videos, those women who can pop out a baby in silence while looking so serene and calm and peaceful..... Yeahhhh that wasn't how it went for me! lol. Now, to be fair, I think it's safe to say that "most women" who choose to have a home birth do so AFTER having a baby in a hospital. Not all, but I bet "most" is a safe assumption. So perhaps that's why it looked a lot easier on the videos, because most of them were not *first* births. Here's hoping my next births can be more calm and peaceful! (But I still doubt it! haha!) And I'm hoping for QUICKER! And maybe too much to hope for, but, less painful!?! lol<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white;">So for the next 6(?) hours or so, seriously, all I remember is hurting, and trying to cope with the pain and then during the breaks between contractions feeling normal, which is so odd, to have that kind of pain, interspersed with feelings of normalcy... I'd get up to go to the bathroom and then I'd have a contraction on the toilet. That sucked. When Carol came back, she got some towels put in the crockpot filled with hot water, and she'd shown everyone how to put a hot wet towel on my lower belly where I was feeling the contractions the worst and on my lower back during each contraction and that seemed to help and felt really nice. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Luke: Like I said above, I'm pretty sure this happened when she came in the morning.</span></span><br />
Em: See, I have no concept of time, whatsoever. lol.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The towels also gave me something to focus on instead of the pain, finding my voice at the beginning of a contraction to TELL someone, them getting the towels wrung out and placed, and then by the time they'd cool off, the contraction would be over. Wash, Rinse, Repeat, ad nauseum, ad nauseum.....</span><br />
<br />
At some point, mid-afternoon-ish, I went to the bathroom and noticed that my mucus plug was finally coming out! (Good thing I didn't wait for it to come out before I called anyone to come, seeing as how it was only a few hours (10 maybe?) later that Tenley arrived! That had been my original plan, little did we know Tenley had a perfect plan of her own!) It was the weirdest thing that had ever come out of my body, (thus far!) lol! It was clear and gooey stretchy and there was a lot more of it than I expected there would be! It was kinda gross and kinda amazing what our bodies know how to do! To create this goo in the first place that keeps the cervix plugged up, and that our bodies know how and when is the perfect time to get rid of it! God is truly the Master Creator of all things! Our bodies, the ability to grow humans and then FEED them the perfect food.... wow. Just wow. <br />

<br />
I labored in a million positions, if/when someone could convince me to move. I was really pretty convinced I just needed to lay in bed and try to pretend this wasn't happening! I labored on the Birth (exercise) Ball, sitting on it and leaning on the bed, on my knees on the floor leaning over the ball, backwards on the toilet leaning on a pillow, frontwards on the toilet leaning on my poor husband. Laying in bed, sitting in the shower, leaning against the wall. Standing up made it hurt soo much worse. Gravity! Argh! I <i>knew </i>with my mind, that being upright would help speed things along, but at the time it HURT so much worse, I just couldn't stand it. That proved to be a running theme throughout the rest of the night. Must be hard to be a midwife and KNOW that the mommy could speed things along and meet her baby quicker if she'd only just listen and follow directions, but yet, the mommy is hurting so badly she can't be rationalized with! lol. That would take some PATIENCE for sure! ;-)<br />

FINALLY, at some point, Carol told me I was at a 5 and that I could get in the pool. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: orange;">Becca: It was 5pm. I remember thinking to myself, so I could
remember, “she’s a 5 at 5”. And then I
had the radical notion how neat it would be for the labor to progress like that
for the next 5 centimeters. LOL. Crazy thought, I know.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<br />
We (and by "we" I mean <i>someone, </i>and I have no idea who!) got it all blown up and filled up and ready, but Luke tells me that I didn't want to get in it right away. He says that's when we decided to try the shower first. All sense of modesty had gone out the window too at some point. I'd changed clothes several times and by this point, I think I was pretty much wandering around in a bikini top and not much else. When we finally did decide to get in the pool, I remember liking it, but it was too hot, and I felt weird after a little while so I got out. Later on, we realized we could just scoop out the water with a bucket and then use the hose to fill it with warmer or cooler water or whatever I happened to think I wanted at the time. <br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> Getting the pool filled up and ready! 5:36p Fri. 6-8-12</span></div>
<br />
<br />
I leaned against Luke (yes he was brave enough to get in the water with me!) and I just focused on sounding out my contractions. If this doesn't mean anything to you, basically, you breathe in through your nose and then breath out with a long, lowwwww pitched moaning sound. The point is that if you're making long, low noises, your face and vocal chords are relaxed and if that is true, it helps your cervix to relax and dilate, as opposed to being all tensed up, fighting against your body while it's trying to do what it needs to do! Plus, it makes you focus on getting a good breath in, which gives both you and the baby lots of good oxygen. It's basically like the opposite of lamaze breathing, ya know that "hee hee hoooo" crap. lol.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Caitlin: Em did a great job at doing low moaning sounds. At one point I was in the living room with Luke’s parents and brother while she was having a strong contraction with a really low moan and they all just slowly turned their heads and looked at me with wide eyes. It was quite entertaining!</span></div>
Em: I remember when I talked to Kim and Mark the next day, Mark told me that the noise I was making was really similar to the noises that cows make in labor. O.o (one eyebrow raised face!) lol<br />
<br />
It was getting late, and I was getting really really tired. I was definitely ready to be done with the contractions and the pain and all I wanted to do was sleep for more than 3 or 4 minutes at a time between contractions! You wouldn't think it would be possible to doze off and actually fall asleep between contractions but it IS! It'd be so peaceful for a few minutes at a time, and I'd completely forget that I was going through the worst pain of my life, and then I'd wake up in the throes of a contraction and be really annoyed by it!!! Every so often, I'd open my eyes and see my mom and grandma, Becca and Caitlin all sitting around me, smiling and just watching.... In hindsight, I feel like that must've been awfully boring, sitting there watching me lay still and then writhe in pain for hours and hours. Not to mention making that noise for so long! I think that would've gotten on my nerves! lol<br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Caitlin: It wasn’t annoying at all! We all loved being there supporting you and helping you in any way we could so that you could bring that precious baby into the world surrounded by love!</span></div>
Em: I do love the fact that there was NO ONE present for her birth that didn't already love her completely!<br />
<br />
Everyone did an awesome job taking care of me though, helping me try to stay relaxed, reminding me to sound out my contractions, trying not to "run away from the pain" (yeah right!) and even feeding me little tiny bits of food. I was starving, and my tummy was growling, and I recall being really annoyed that they were giving me like, 1/4 of a cracker at a time, and 1/2 inch pieces of bell pepper, but it never even occurred to me to say, "Just give me the whole cracker!" Haha! Like I said.... really not coherent. <br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Luke: You said, "You're giving me Indy (our chihuahua) bites!"</span><br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Caitlin: I think we were all afraid that you would forget to chew!! ;-) </span></div>
<br />
I guess it was probably good, in hindsight, because during the Transition stage, I did throw up again. Guess I'm grateful they didn't give me all the food I thought I wanted at the time!<br />
<br />
Sometime after midnight, around 12:30 or 1am I suppose, I started feeling.... strange. In hindsight, I guess I was feeling "pushy" but at the time it was just strange! The contractions were coming right on top of each other at that point. Some of them were literally piggy backing right on top of each other, back to back, with NO break in between. I was really annoyed by that, feeling that it was so unfair! I was realizing that I could usually do about 4 breaths/moans per contraction and that when each contraction would end, I would have one single hiccup, and then feel the heartburn that I'd been feeling all day. Then I could sleep for a few minutes before the next one, but then these Piggy Backers kept coming and I was so mad! I really didn't want to be in labor any more at that point, but ya know what, there's no turning back! I guess my noises were starting to sound different, grunty, as I was beginning to feel the urge to push, because at one point, I remember Carol saying "What was that?" and I said, "What was what?" and she said, "That sound you just made. What was that?" I guess she knows the sound of one becoming "pushy"!!! LOL!<br />
<br />
She checked me again, to see if I was fully dilated, but I had a lip of cervix that was refusing to dilate, so she told me NOT to push until she checked me again. That was rough, but I just tried to focus on getting through the contractions! I think at some point, Carol tried to help the lip ... go away? In my sleep deprived state, I can't think of a better term than that! lol. FINALLY she told me I could go ahead and try to push! But she said once I start pushing, I have to keep going. That kind of freaked me out..... and I made the mistake of admitting out loud that I was scared. Carol jumped all over me at that moment and said, "Let's talk about that real quick. Why are you scared?" and I replied because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do it! That was when everyone started reminding me of all my Birth Affirmations that were so helpfully posted all around! I don't know if it was helpful or not, at the time, but ready or not, my body was ready to start pushing!!! <br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Luke: Em told Carol "I think I'm feeling pushy..." and Carol said" That's ok, don't push, just breathe" I think just making the point that pushing is something that will overcome you, not something that you have to try to do.</span><br />
<br />
I tried for a few contractions to push while still in the water but I was having a hard time figuring out that whole "Pushing" thing! Carol kept telling me to push WITH the contractions, but oddly enough, I couldn't really tell anything about the contraction at all after it got started. I couldn't tell when the contraction was over and so therefore I couldn't tell when I should push or stop pushing or anything! You would think that pushing (especially without any drugs!) would be something that would feel so <strike>obvious,</strike> err, natural? that it would be <strike>easy</strike>, errr, no, definitely not easy, at least obvious, but no, not so much. I pushed and pushed and I didn't feel like I was accomplishing anything! Talk about frustrating! Carol wanted me to try to squat flat footed, and lean/hold on to the edge of the pool. I didn't think I could even MOVE from the reclining position I was in laying in the water. Everyone tried to encourage me to get up and try squatting but I just couldnt! I remember at one point, Luke tried to gently and sweetly encourage me to move into an upright position to help things along, but I must have been mid-contraction and I'm pretty sure I told him to "shut up"!!! (Sorry honey!!!) But eventually I just made up my mind and at the end of one contraction I just surged forward super fast, well, as fast as someone who is almost 42 weeks pregnant who has been in labor for 48 hours and is completely and utterly exhausted can move! And I got in the position she wanted me to try. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: orange;">Becca: She flew out of the “relaxed”
position she was in, and I we all looked around at each other, with what I
would say were “wow”, “holy crap look at her move”, “she is determined”
faces. I knew that she could do it,
regardless of how tired she was. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
UNFORTUNATELY, I never did heed the advice I heard/read/was told everywhere which was to stay active, do squats/lunges, etc, during the pregnancy, and boy oh boy do I now realize WHY they tell you to do this!!! I'd heard that "Labor is like running a marathon, you need to be in shape to do it!" but unfortunately, I didn't listen. And I paid for it during the pushing stage because I couldn't maintain the physical postures that would've been the best! My leg muscles simply couldn't support me staying in that squatting position! I tried out a hands/knees position but the water at the time wasn't quite deep enough to be safe if I were to birth Tenley in that position. <br />
<br />
Carol was checking Tenley's heart rate every few minutes and at some point it dropped a little and Carol seemed worried. <span style="background-color: white;">so we decided to try to get out and see if I would have any more luck pushing "on land." So Luke and I both got out and tried a few different positions which included Luke supporting me in various ways so that I could focus on pushing. It was exhausting! I still can't believe or understand why I couldn't feel the contractions any more because I do think that this is part of why it was so hard to push. Those contractions that had been rocking my world just minutes ago, now were mysteriously absent! lol. Go figure!!! </span><br />
<br />
I tried squatting flat footed, like Carol wanted, with Luke holding me up behind me. I tried standing up and just bending my knees a little, but that felt weird. I do remember at some point thinking that I peed all over Carol and everything else, but I *think* that was actually when my water finally broke! I may or may not have also shared another kind of excrement with everyone present... :-/ Good thing Luke told me months ago that he'd love me even more if I did poop! haha! I think that conversation went something like this:<br />
<br />
Me: But what if I poop!? Will you still love me if I poop? Cuz that's gross.<br />
<br />
Luke: I will love you no matter what, especially if you poop. <br />
<br />
<br />
HA! TMI, yes I know. But I think that sharing honestly and openly is important, so people who haven't had babies yet know that it is normal. ;-)<br />
<br />
Becca told me the next day that she fully realized how hard a midwife's job is when she saw Carol's nose about 6 inches away from my butt while I was pushing away with all my might! lol <br />
<br />
I remember at one point that Carol, in a stern voice, told me that on the next contraction I needed to "get serious" and push this baby out! I remember feeling like, "Are you freaking kidding me??? "Get serious!?!?!" I've BEEN serious for the past 24 hours at least! Argh! <br />
<br />
At some point, Carol suggested Luke sit on this ottoman we had in our room, and support my weight from behind, while I squatted down facing towards the pool, and that was where Tenley eventually came out! <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Caitlin: Luke kept asking me if I could see Tenley’s head, which is when Carol suggested we get a mirror!<span class="s1"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span class="s1"><br /></span></span></div>
<br />
Someone handed us a mirror (Becca's makeup mirror, I believe! lol) And I think it was supposed to be for Luke to see, but I stole it! lol. <span style="background-color: white;">I watched Tenley's head begin to crown, and Carol had me reach down and touch her head. It felt so bizarre to be touching something, some ONE inside me that wasn't actually ME! Then I seem to remember closing my eyes and screeching at the top of my lungs while I pushed with all of my might! I remember everyone in the room encouraging me, and telling me they could see her head and to keep going! Carol was "helping" and it felt like she was going to rip me apart! In my mind's eye, it seemed like she was ... I don't even know how to describe it without a gesture! I picture that she had her hands in me on either side and was literally pulling me open/apart for Tenley! It SUCKED but I'm glad she helped! I needed all the help I could get at that point! I think I was even mentally ready to go in for a c-section! ha! "Just cut this baby out!" </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Finally, after lots of pushing, finally, FINALLY, eventually Tenley's head was out! I wish I'd been able to reach down and touch her whole little head while she was half on Earth and half still in utero! Like I said, I did get to feel her head a little while it was still mostly inside, but in my next birth I'd like to be more "hands on" so to speak! Once we made sure there was no cord around her neck, with one more push she was out! I don't remember how long it was between the head and the shoulders. I believe usually there is a few minutes between the two, but since I wasn't really feeling the contractions, I don't really know if we got that little break or not. I was totally out of it, I feel, remembering in hindsight. I was afraid the shoulders would've been harder than they actually were, but luckily she came right out! I finally caught a break! ;-)</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Caitlin: Carol had a hand in helping with the shoulders. She explained to us that baby necks are like rubber and are stretchy to help in the birthing process, so when she ended up helping Emily by pulling on her shoulders that it was a perfectly safe and normal thing! </span></div>
<br />
<br />
I don't know if Luke pulled me up on to the ottoman with him or what, but the next thing I remember is sitting with my knees together and Carol putting a baby on my lap! She was kindof whitish, and she wasn't making any noise. Carol covered her with a tucks pad and told us to rub her! So we rubbed and rubbed, and I was trying to focus my brain around what was actually happening! It was all happening so fast! Not at all how I necessarily pictured it!!! I'm kindof sad to remember that I was pretty out of it at this point, and I don't feel like I reacted in a way that I expected I would. I dunno, maybe it was just such a relief that she was here and out, and we'd DONE it! <br />

<br />
Carol said her eyes were open, as you can see in the above pic, and she was looking around but she still wasn't making any noise! We rubbed and rubbed her, and finally, FINALLY she let out her first tiny squeak and then a little cry! The most beautiful sound I'd ever heard! She was very alert and looking around from the very beginning! Everyone kept commenting on how wiggly and alert she was. <br />
<br />
Carol said I could pull her up to my chest but I felt like the cord was pretty short and I didn't think I could pull her up that far, but we were able to turn her over and hold her and see her pretty face! At some point, Carol said I'd feel more contractions and that I could push the placenta out. I was dreading that part, but I only felt two more light contractions and it was MUCH easier to push out something with no bones!!! Once the placenta was out, she prepped the umbilical cord for Luke to cut! It was a little bitter sweet to be separated from this tiny life that had been in my womb for the past 10 months!<br />

<br />
<br />
I remember the first time Tenley heard Luke talking to her, she turned her entire head to look at him! You could see the recognition on her face of "Hey, that's my daddy! I recognize his voice!" It was soo sweet!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">We eventually got her all cleaned up and wiped off, and Luke had to ask me if he could hold her! I immediately felt bad that I was hogging her! Such is life with just one baby, (thank God!) huh??? lol.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">OH I almost forgot to mention that right after being born, Tenley passed the biggest meconium poop in the history of the universe!!! IT. WAS. EVERYWHERE!!!!!! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">EVERY. WHERE. I don't think there was a single person in the room that didn't have Tenley's poop on them somewhere. It was incredible. I don't know how it happened, but yeah. Everywhere!!! That took a while to get us all cleaned up. Unfortunately too, that meant we ended up with meconium (which doesn't really wash out!) on lots of the cute little blankets and things that we'd intended to use for her, not expecting them to get stained! Boo. Oh well, it's still worth it! ;-) Too bad I didn't pick my least favorite blankets and such! haha</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">I eventually was able to get some clean clothes on and get situated to try and nurse her for the first time. It's true what they say about babies with no drugs in their system, I was just trying to hold her up on my chest, but Tenley was able to inch worm her way over to my breast and was a champ at trying to eat right from the very beginning! I was so amazed at how it was totally instinctual for her to find my breast all on her own. </span><br />

After a while, we measured and weighed T and I got a minute to catch my breath. It was soo great to know that T never left my room or my sight. <br />

So in the end, it wasn't the sweet and romantic birth I pictured in my head. I don't feel like this birth story will bring tears to peoples eyes the way other birth stories I've read make me do! But we DID it. It was hard. And I wanted to give up at times. But we made it! It was the most amazing thing I've ever accomplished. I think I had to earn my way into Motherhood, for sure. But the cool thing is, I know that after accomplishing this amazing 48 hour labor, drug-free home birth, I feel confident to tackle the challenges of parenthood! ;)<br />

And you know what else I find interesting? I don't know that Tenley is necessarily going to be an "easy" baby either! She's stubborn and OPINIONATED! Impatient and outspoken! <span style="background-color: white;">I'm afraid she may come by that naturally! ;-) But that's ok! I wouldn't want her to be any other way!</span><br />

Caitlin and Becca ALSO made these fabulous shirts in the wee hours of Thursday night, and they surprised me with them as encouragement before I started pushing! I think y'all look pretty awesome, considering it's like at least 4am here! Love you guys so much! Thanks for being there to support us and meet Tenley the night she was born! <3<br />

<b><br /></b><br />
<b>How far along? </b>41 weeks, 3 days!<br />
<b>Trimester: </b>3rd<br />
<b>Days to Go: ???</b><br />
<b>Baby size/weight: </b>probably not yet 8 pounds but getting bigger all the time!! Approx. 20''<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>Not bad, except for the whole waking up every 2 hours to pee thing. Guess it's just getting me ready for those night time feedings!<br />
<b>Best moment this week: </b>Every moment has been great. I love having my family here taking such amazing care of us. Its been fun to get to just hang out and relax with everyone, especially with my hubby. He's been so busy and works so hard. It's been nice to have his undivided attention this week!!!<br />
<b>Miss anything? </b>Lots of things.... putting on pants without grunting! Not having heart burn! Getting out of bed easily! Not having back pain! Not having leaky boobs! (TMI--sorry! lol) Not taking tons of weird herbal pills! I miss laying on my tummy! And of course, sushi, beer/wine, diet cokes, etc!!! <br />
<b>Movement: </b>She's still moving up a storm in there! I keep telling her to go ahead and come out and she'll have lots more space to stretch out!<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>Really just snowcones!<br />
<b>Anything making you quea</b><b>sy or sick: </b>still brushing my teeth, but not every time at least.<br />
<b>Labor Signs: </b>I really thought we were doing something the other night! Carol had told us that many first time moms go into labor around midnight, and sure enough about 10:45 I started having contractions, some of which really hurt! I had about 15 total, and they were getting closer together and stronger, but it was weird b/c they were lasting 5 minutes each!!! I timed them till about 12:45 and figured if I really was in labor, I needed to go to sleep and get some rest, so I got up off the couch and puttered around for about 20 minutes, didn't have any contractions in that time, laid down, had one more light one, and went to sleep and nothing else happened!!! Bummer!!! <br />

<br />
<b>Belly Button in or out? </b>Still in!<br />
<b>Wedding rings on or off? </b>Definitely off. Even my big one leaves a mark on my finger.<br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Happy, but more emotional (at least yesterday I was emotional and felt on the brink of tears all day, but I was also feeling under attack from several well meaning people sharing their opinions which weren't what I wanted to hear!) And often just sleepy too!<br />
<b>Weekly Wisdom: </b>Follow your heart and don't worry about what other people think. In this journey of parenthood, I realize I am going to have to be strong and stand up for what I believe in, b/c many people might not agree but I'm just going to have to toughen up to deal with that. I'm a people pleaser, and so thats tough for me, but I'm first and foremost now, a mother, and what's best for my baby is what I'm going to do!!! I know I've put in the HOURS of research and when I make a decision, it is not uneducated or unfounded. I will have faith in myself and not let other people's feelings effect me negatively. <br />
<b>Current Reads: </b>Mind Over Labor by Carl Jones and several Dr. Sears books<br />
<b>Looking forward to: </b>Seeing Tenley's sweet face and knowing that we have successfully achieved all we set out to achieve with our birth plans, etc. <br />
<b>On the "Honey Do" list: </b>Wait patiently.... ;-) I want to write out some Birth Affirmations to have taped up around for when I am in labor, but that's really about it! Here are a few that really speak to me:<br />

We tried the curb-walking yesterday and I felt pretty silly but I do think it made a difference. Might try out some stairs if we can find some in some serious AC!!! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also went to see a chiropractor and had some acupuncture done this morning! He put one tiny pin in each of my hands, in that fatty part between your thumb and first finger, and he put 2 pins around each of my inner ankles. It only hurt a teeny bit, not too bad at all, and then they used a cold laser to help stimulate the pins. He said that it usually works on about 85% of people, and then said that it didn't work on only like 2 people in his experience, and he said they may have been just too early. He said I should have a baby within 12-24 hours, so we shall see!!!! I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but it was exciting to hear!!! ;-) </div>

Here's hoping some of these crazy things help get things going!</div>

<b><br /></b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>How far along? </b>40 weeks!<br />
<b>Trimester: </b>3rd!<br />
<b>Days to Go: </b>????<br />
<b>Baby size: </b>20 inches, the size of a small pumpkin!!!<br />
<b>Baby weight: </b>7.5 pounds!<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>Getting worse and worse! haha. Having to get up MULTIPLE times to pee, seems like every 2.5 hours or so, also having lots of middle of the night-heartburn, my hips are going to sleep more often where I feel like I need to roll over more often, which takes an act of GOD to do! I'm still hot and sweaty unless (or even sometimes if I do) I have a fan blowing right on me!<br />
<b>Best moment this week: </b>Realizing that Tenley didn't arrive before all my family got here! (Now I just need to make sure she comes out before they all have to leave again!!!)<br />
<b>Miss anything? </b>Yoga! Exercising, sushi, wine! Now that my parents are here, I'm missing Diet Cokes a bunch b/c they like them, but they're being really sweet and not drinking them around me at least!<br />
<b>Movement: </b>Lots and lots! Love watching her squirm!<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>Snow cones! lol That's really the only thing I'm going out of my way to get! lol<br />
<b>Anything making you queasy or sick: </b>Nothing really lately<br />
<b>Labor Signs: </b>I've been having lots of little contractions! I usually feel a small pain in my lower belly, and then if I touch the top of my belly it feels all hard and tight everywhere! It doesn't really hurt at all, and I'm not even sure if I would notice it if I didn't feel the tightness in my tummy! That's it! I keep checking for the mucus plug every time I pee, and wondering if my water breaks when I'm in the shower or when I'm going to the bathroom, or whatever, would I know? LOL Carol says I can't worry about that though! haha Carol did say that she's "very very very low" and I'm feeling lots of pressure "down there"!<br />
Carol thinks it'll still be a week or so, but I'm hoping she just told us that to alleviate some pressure!<br />
I'm really feeling quite comfortable, all things considered. I'm ready to meet my sweet daughter!<br />
<b>Belly Button in or out? </b>Still in, pretty much completely flush with the rest of my belly!<br />
<b>Wedding rings on or off? </b>Oh definitely off. ;-) My hands are still feeling kinda arthritic, not sure if it's the pregnancy induced carpal tunnel or swelling or what. Carol said I should avoid pork, shellfish, and sugar..... well I'll see what I can do! haha. <br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Happy!!! and very Excited!<br />
<b>Weekly Wisdom: </b>Patience patience patience! Get all the rest you can while you can!<br />
<b>Current Reads: </b>Finishing the last 50 Shades book! Then I'm going to try to get through a few more baby books before Tenley arrives!<br />
<b>Looking forward to: </b>Getting my first labor pain and knowing that meeting my little girl is just around the corner!<br />
<b>On the "Honey Do" list: </b>Resting!!!<br />

<b>How far along? </b>39 Weeks, 3 days<br />
<b>Trimester: </b>3rd!!! Almost done!<br />
<b>Days to Go: </b>5!!! (8 as of Monday, but 5 today!)<br />
<b>Baby size: </b>20 inches, the size of a mini watermelon<br />
<b>Baby weight: </b>7.25lb (can't wait to see what she actually weighs!)<br />
<b>Total weight gain: </b>harrrumph<br />
<b>Stretch marks? </b>lots and more each day<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>not so much great. I think I have pregnancy induced carpal tunnel, and it's definitely worse at night. My fingers tingle and go to sleep, my hands are stiff and sore when I wake up, and it's waking me up at night b/c my hands are numb. They really don't look swollen, but they're certainly feeling abnormal. Luckily this should go away as the fluid retention drains... Then theres the having to pee every two hours of so, and the needing a crane to get out of bed, made worse only by the necessity to pee. PLUS--- we went ahead and made up the bed the way it'll need to be for labor, (i.e. one set of sheets, the vinyl mattress cover, topped with another set of sheets) but the vinyl cover has made me SOOOOO HOT and sweaty. I can't stand it. Going to have to take that off before tonight. Can't stand it!<br />
<b>Best moment this week: </b>So many great moments this week, but a very special one that comes to mind was at Luke's Spring Band Concert this past Tuesday, he premiered his very first piece of music he's ever written for Concert Band. It's called "Spoken Softly with a Gentle Heart" and it is a fabulous piece of music. Though it was commissioned in honor of someone else, he dedicated it to Tenley! So. Sweet. Brought tears to my eyes. <3 Love my precious little family!<br />

<b>Have you told family and friends: </b>Have I told them? I've told them they better be getting here quick b/c this baby is coming sooooon! ;-)<br />
<b>Miss anything? </b>Being skinny! Exercising! Heck, bending over!<br />
<b>Movement: </b>Lots and lots! Tons of hiccups, lots of stretching. I'm going to miss seeing her move in my belly! I'll never forget the way she feels.<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>yes. snow cones. lol<br />
<b>Anything making you queasy or sick: </b>Nothing really right now! Nice reprieve. <b> </b><br />
<b>Labor Signs: </b>I'm having lots of Braxton Hicks. They don't really hurt, except for a second or so around the bottom of my belly, and then I feel my whole tummy tighten up, and it stays that way for a minute and half or two minutes! Pretty crazy, but it's giving me some good practice trying to relax and breath through it, even though they don't really hurt. I mean, practicing relaxing when you feel fine is kind of a joke when you realize you're supposed to be envisioning flowers and relaxing all your muscles when you're body feels like it's self-destructing or something! Not exactly an adequate preparation for that!<br />
<b>Belly Button in or out? </b>Still in! Don't guess it's going to pop out! I'm ok with that. <br />
<b>Wedding rings on or off? </b>Definitely off. <br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Happy and tired.<br />
<b>Weekly Wisdom: </b>I thought this quote was encouraging! I have faith!!! <br />

<b>Looking forward to: </b>My mom and dad arriving tomorrow night, and Becca arriving on Friday!!!<br />
And THEN we can get this show on the road!!! I can't wait to see Miss Tenley's face!!! <3<br />
<b>On the "Honey Do" list:</b><br />

<b>How far along? </b>38 Weeks. I can't believe we've already come this far!<br />
<b>Trimester: </b>3rd<br />
<b>Days to Go: </b>14ish! Eeeek!<br />
<b>Baby size: </b><b> </b>19.75 inches, the length of a Leek<br />
<b>Baby weight: </b>6.8 pounds (remembering this is just according to the app, she could definitely be bigger than that! lol)<br />
<b>Stretch marks?</b> more and more! I have some above my belly button now too, and more on my sides.<b> </b><br />
But I'm choosing to look at it like this: (caution: language! sorry)<br />

<b>Sleep: </b>Not bad, but my hips are getting more particular about how long I lay on them at night. Getting up about 2 times in the middle of the night to pee, plus I always have to pee first thing in the morning, so now that I can sleep in, I'm going to count that as getting up THREE times each night! And the physical act of actually getting up... harder and harder. Sometimes i feel like I can't actually move my legs, even though my brain is sending the signal. AND my hands have been sorta numb and tingly and unable to grip/close all the way lately, so moving the body pillow is proving to be difficult too! Overall, it's definitely one of my most difficult physical tasks!<br />
<b>Best moment this week: </b>I had so many great moments this week! Maybe the BEST one was sleeping in on Monday morning and realizing I didn't have to get up and go to work!!! :-D Here are the rest of my best moments, in pictures:<br />

Luke cooked a delicious dinner of lasagna, blue cheese chopped salad, garlic bread and iced tea! And finished it off with an apple pie and vanilla ice cream! He even cleaned it all up too! What an amazing husband i have!<br />

<b>Miss anything? </b>Mobility! Sleeping on my tummy! <br />
<b>Movement: </b>Oh she moves a lot and gets hiccups all the time! She's down so low right now, it seems like her movements are getting ouchier and ouchier. Especially down low. I still haven't had much trouble breathing, or felt her in my ribs or anything like that up high, she's just been really low the whole time.<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>Just snowcones! ;-)<br />
<b>Anything making you queasy or sick: </b>Not too bad lately!<b> </b><br />
<b>Labor Signs: </b>None yet, but I'm sure checking really closely for the mucus plug to come out or anything like that!!! <br />
<b>Belly Button in or out? </b><b> </b>In, but extremely shallow, almost completely flush I think! I'm reallly curious to see what it looks like afterwards? Will it just go back to normal or what??? lol<br />
<b>Wedding rings on or off? </b>ohhh off yes. Even my size 8 big ring leaves marks on my fingers some days. :( None of my solid bracelets will fit over my wrist either! lovely!!!<br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Happy and tired. ;-)<br />

<b>Current Reads: </b>I finished reading 50 Shades of Grey and promised myself to read a baby book before I bought the sequel to 50 Shades... So I zoomed through "Your Amazing Newborn" which was pretty amazing!!! And then I let myself buy "50 Shades Darker". I haven't had any time to read it yet, but I'm eager to start! ;-) It's much easier to find time to read when you're not working!<br />
<b>Looking forward to: </b>Becca, Mom and Dad arriving soooon! Our new couch is supposed to arrive on FRIIIDAY!!! SUPER excited about that!!! Going to see "What to Expect" with friends this weekend I hope! Getting my hair done by Toby on Saturday! My hair has missed him! lol Since this is a little late, I was also really looking forward to the premiere of Bachelorette which was on Monday! And of course.... I'm looking forward to seeing Miss Tenley's precious face!!! <br />
<b>On the "Honey Do" list: </b>I have two To-Do lists on my phone and I created one on a dry erase board to display in the house so hopefully we can get everything done soon, while interspersing each item with some feet-propped up time/and/or a nap!!! ;-) <br />

<b>How far along? </b>37 weeks... Oh my!<br />
<b>Trimester: </b>Third! Oh my!<br />
<b>Days to Go: </b>21 days... OH MY!!!<br />
<b>Baby size: </b>19.25 inches! The length of a stalk of Swiss Chard! Oh my!<br />
<b>Baby weight: </b>6.3 pounds! (ya know, according to the app. Could be more or less, in reality!)<br />
<b>Stretch marks? </b>yup. But I'm trying to be proud of them. I'm a Momma Tiger after all! ;-) Rawr!<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>Not so much... Waking up 2-3 times a night to pee, my hips are getting more sore when I lay on one side too long. Scooting over to the side of the bed to get up is getting SO hard! Especially when I have to pee! lol TMI, I know, sorry! ;)<br />
<b>Best moment this week: </b><br />
Friday was an awesome day! I took the day off work, and the Band Kids threw us a beautiful shower during 1st period! Here are a few of the cute pics we got:<br />

After the shower was over, I went and got a manicure and a pedicure, which was FABULOUS! I even got Tenley's monogram on my toes! ;-) Then I went home and took a nap, had a visit with a sweet friend, and then I went to get my hair curled, and my makeup done, and after a rain-scare, we went off to have our Maternity Pics taken by the amazing Hannah Vickers! We had a blast, and I think the pics are going to turn out wonderfully!!! She sent me this as a sneak peek: :-) We should have the rest in a few weeks! Can't wait to see them!<br />

<b>Miss anything? </b>being able to lay on my tummy! <b> </b>Caring about what my house looks like??? lol<br />
<b>Movement: </b>Lots of movement! Last night, she had such a big stretch! It didn't hurt, but it was amazing to see! Ten-Ten is getting so crowded in there!<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>Really just snow cones and lots of water!!! <br />
<b>Anything making you queasy or sick: </b>only brushing my teeth. Don't know what the deal is with that, but I'm ready for it to quit!!!<br />
<b>Labor Signs: </b>I do think I'm having some Braxton Hicks. They hurt, kindof a lot, so that's making me a little anxious about actually going in to labor... But I'm praying it'll be a relatively short labor (though long enough for everyone to GET here!) <br />
<b>Belly Button in or out? </b>Still in! Dont think it's going to poke out! I'm OK with that for sure!!!<br />
<b>Wedding rings on or off? </b>off. My extra big ring fits now with no bandaid-sizer too. None of my bracelets will fit over my wrist and none of my shoes can go on my feet except the ones a whole size larger than normal. I sure hope everything goes back to normal size soon after she comes!!! I will CRY if my feet have permanently grown!!! <br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Happy? Definitely more prone to random tears though! lol<br />
<b>Weekly Wisdom: </b>Ummmmm I don't have any wisdom for y'all this week. <br />
<b>Current Reads: </b>"50 Shades of Grey" ..... no, not a baby book, but a really good read!<br />
<b>Looking forward to: </b>My last week of work this week, my prenatal massage on Saturday and Mama Sue and Caitlin arriving on Sunday!!! Whoohooo!<br />
<b>On the "Honey Do" list: </b>Just need to hang some shelves in Tenley's closet! No big deal. We need to get a tarp to cover the floor in our room, and honestly.... I think we're ready. wow!!!<br />

<b>How far along? </b>36 Weeks! Only 4 to go!!! We can officially say we're due THIS month!<br />
<b>Trimester: </b>3rd!! Almost through!<br />
<b>Days to Go: </b>28 (as of Monday)<br />
<b>Baby size: </b>18.75 inches, the size of a crenshaw melon, whatever that is!!!<br />
<b>Baby weight: </b>5.75 pounds!!! Holy Moly!!!!<br />
<b>Stretch marks? </b>more and more... :(<b> </b><br />
<b>Sleep: </b>hot, sweaty, up every 3 hours or so to pee. Getting harder and harder to move around and roll over! Scooting to the edge of the bed, while having to pee super bad is virtually impossible now! It's like my brain is telling my muscles what to do, but my muscles are physically incapable now!<br />
<b>Best moment this week: </b>Getting the Carseat, Stroller and all our Home Birth Supplies! I think we're officially "READY"!!!<br />

<b>Miss anything? </b> Laying on my tummy and drinking diet cokes!!! I've really been wanting one lately! But I'm avoiding them successfully!!!<br />
<b>Movement: </b>still LOTS! Some more painful than others!!! Her head is really far down, already "engaged" Carol said yesterday! She's putting a lot of pressure on my bladder and sometimes it's really painful, especially when I cough! But I haven't had any rib pain to my knowledge. <br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>Snow Cones! That's really just about it!<br />
<b>Anything making you queasy or sick: </b>not too much at this point! Just brushing my teeth still sometimes.<br />
<b>Labor Signs: </b>I think I've been having some Braxton Hicks and I've definitely been feeling more pressure and pains. My movement is becoming impaired, some days more than others. I can tell we're getting there!<b> </b>Feel like I'm walking around like an old lady sometimes!!!<br />
<b>Belly Button in or out? </b>Still in!! <b> </b><br />
<b>Wedding rings on or off? </b>Off. Even my size 8 fake big ring is getting snug, but mostly b/c my hands have started swelling the past few days! <br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Depends on who you ask, I'm sure! I say Happy, but my students would probly say "moody!" Hahahah I don't know if it's solely my fault--- they're losing their minds these last 6 weeks of school!!! I had one pee her pants yesterday, one get sent to the office during naptime, and today those same two kids got caught doing something that seemed awfully sexual in nature inside one of the little houses on the playground! Losing. Their. Minds. and I'm losing my patience!!!<br />
<b>Weekly Wisdom: </b> Research research research! Many people do more research before buying a big appliance than for having a baby! Whatever choice you make is great, as long as you know WHY you're making it, and you have an educated opinion on the subject. Birth choices, feeding options, vaccinations, pediatricians... We interviewed 4 before finding the right one, but I am so glad we were patient and didn't settle!!! Lots of people just pick one out of the theoretical "phonebook"... But you should DEFINITELY interview! I highly recommend it!<br />
<b>Current Reads: </b>toooo many books to even list and growing by the minute! I still haven't gotten around to the stack I posted last week, plus now I ALSO have these:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And let me tell you, those bottom two are GINORMIC! Thick and large. <br />
<br />
OH PLUS I bought "50 Shades of Grey" on iBooks... can't wait to have time to dive in to that!<br />
<br />
<b>Looking forward to: </b>Our last shower on Friday, given by the band kids during 1st period at the HS, getting a pedicure, my makeup and hair done, and our maternity pics done later on Friday night, a pool party with my fabulous coworkers on Saturday, my last week of teaching next week, my prenatal massage on the 12th followed by Band Banquet, (hope I can find something to wear!) and my 1st Mother's day, complete with the arrival of my best lil sis and my awesome grandma! After that, the arrival of my mom, dad and BFF... And of course, the baby coming!!!! <br />
<b>On the "Honey Do" list: </b>Hmmm not too much for the Honey. Biggest thing on his list is "Take total care of me so I can try to rest and keep my feet up!" That's hard for both of us b/c I'm such a control freak.... I feel guilty asking him to do things while I sit on the couch, and he just isn't bothered by mess the way I am.... And there are just NOT enough hours in the day!!! So much to do! <br />
<br />
On my list is:<br />
"rest and put my feet up" haha yeah right!<br />
Read a bajillion books<br />
Find outfits for our maternity pics<br />
Buy a new couch<br />
Shampoo carpets<br />
Hang cute little shelves in Tenley's closet<br />
Cut tags off all her clothes and blankets<br />
Wash all her clothes and blankets<br />
Pack a "just in case" hospital bag<br />
Make a shutterfly book for Tenley of her in-belly pics<br />
Cross stitch cute little bibs<br />
<br />
So much to do and not all that much time to do it! eeeeee! Getting so excited!<br />

</b><br />
<b>How far along? </b>35 Weeks! Only 5 to go!!!<br />
<b>Trimester: </b>3rd!<br />
<b>Days to Go: </b>35 more days!<br />
<b>Baby size: </b>18 inches! The weight of a honeydew melon!<br />
<b>Baby weight: </b>5.25 pounds!! wow!<br />
<b>Total weight gain: </b> la la la.... don't know, but I'm looking forward to getting back to normal!<br />
<b>Maternity clothes? </b>um, even my maternity clothes are feeling snug and uncomfy now!<br />
<b>Stretch marks? </b>yeah some. hopefully they wont be too noticeable after she's out!<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>Well, last night was not so great. I think I was awake every hour or so, either needing to pee, or dealing with heartburn, or so hot I was sweating, even though I had the AC set on 70, the ceiling fan on AND a small fan blowing on the bed too!<br />
<b>Best moment this week: </b>Getting soo many sweet presents for Tenley! She is so loved already!!! I don't think a day has gone by that we haven't had a present or package on the porch, or one of us hasn't brought a gift home from work! We are so, so, so blessed!!! Thanks to everyone who has made this time so special for us!<br />
<b>Miss anything? </b>Mmmm sure a few things, but I think more than that, I'm going to miss feeling Tenley move in my belly and miss my round tummy! I'll miss not having to worry about what my belly looks like in my clothes too! haha<br />
<b>Movement: </b>Not as much as before, think she's getting a little crowded. But still plenty! And lots of hiccups too! Love it!!!<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>SNOW CONES!!!!!!! <br />
<b>Anything making you queasy or sick: </b>Really no, just brushing my teeth still sometimes, and if the bathroom sink is dirty that makes me gag! lol. <br />
<b>Labor Signs: </b>None yet!<br />
<b>B</b><b>elly Button in or out? </b>Still in!!! I'm glad, but it's crazy! Wonder if it'll pop out ever or not???<b> </b><br />
<b>Wedding rings on or off? </b>My fake one still fits, but the bandaid i have around it is starting to make it too snug. But w/o the bandaid it's too loose. <br />
<b>Ha</b><b>ppy or Moody most of the time: </b>Happy! For sure! But more and more exhausted too! Which in turn, is making me a little more cranky than usual, I think!<br />
<b>Weekly Wisdom: </b>Interview pediatricians!!! Don't just pick one randomly out of the phone book or b/c you've heard s/he's good... we've interviewed 2 so far, meeting with another one tomorrow and another one in a few weeks. I hope we find a good fit!!! <br />

<b>On the "Honey Do" list: </b>Ummm nothing? Is that possible? He's already working sooo hard writing marching band shows... Our schedule is just soo crazy hectic alllll the time! Argh. Seriously though, there are ONLY TWO DAYS in all of April that we didn't have some sort of obligation or appointment on the calendar! Two days!!! Is that normal? Are other people that busy??? Seems nuts to me!<br />
<br />
But I think the nursery is pretty much finished! I still need to take the tags off of everything and wash all the blankets and clothes! But I've been waiting to do that till all our showers are over, just in case we get any duplicates or anything like that! I need to pack a "just in case" hospital bag, and I need to start gathering up all of our home birth supplies too! I'm excited about that!<br />

</b><br />
<b>How far along? </b>33 Weeks!<br />
<b>Trimester: </b>3rd<br />
<b>Days to Go: </b><b> </b>50! (as of Monday the 9th) Seems like breaking the 100 mark was just yesterday!<br />
<b>Baby size: </b>17 inches! The size of a pineapple!!!<br />
<b>Baby weight: </b>4.25 pounds! This just seems completely unbelievable to me! How is it possible that we're so close to having a full size baby!? <br />
<b>Total weight gain: </b>haha. Well the interesting thing is that this past 2 weeks I gained less than a pound! But I still have no idea how much total I've actually gained! Only 6ish more weeks till I can start getting my body back!<br />
<b>Maternity clothes? </b>Most definitely. And even plenty of them are starting to feel too tight and too constricting! <b> </b><br />
<b>Stretch marks? </b>yes, unfortunately. I have the one on my side, and a few on either side of my lower belly. I'm really curious to see what happens to my belly button after she's out.... THAT should be interesting. <br />
<b>Sleep: </b>Not too bad, except for the waking up to pee, and the trying to get and stay comfortable. It's really the getting UP that's the hardest.<br />
<b>Best moment this week: </b>All our showers! They were both so fun, and I love seeing and hearing from all the people who already love Miss Tenley!<br />
<b>Miss anything? </b>Sleeping on my stomach, stretching, diet cokes and wine! And real sushi! And wearing my wedding rings! And my shoes fitting? lol. Went to try to buy some new flip flops this week and I had to try on a NINE to find straps that weren't uncomfortable, but then they were sticking out like, 2 inches from my toes and heel. I usually wear a 7, so yeahhhh. No luck there.<br />
<b>Movement: </b>Tons, and lots of hiccups too! Some of the movements still take my breath away! She's really not making me uncomfortable yet. I reallly havent had any of those "Oooh get out of my ribs!" or "Oh I can't breath!" moments. Her movements are still sweet and I love it. At our appointment with Carol this week, she said that Tenley is "cliffhanging" on my pubic bone, meaning that she is head-down, and her head is right on top of my bladder area which is part of why I'm having to pee so often. But perhaps, her being fairly low already is keeping me more comfortable in the rib/diaphragm area!<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>Nothing in particular, just food, and lots of it. And often. :-) While doing our banking this week, I realized that we've spent over 6x what we normally spend on Restaurants this month... ;-/ I'm just too hungry, too tired and too prone to the power of suggestion right now! lol <br />
<b>Anything making you qu</b><b>easy or sick: </b>Nothing really!!! The only thing bothering me this week is this nasty cold/allergies that's been hanging on for over a full week now! Stuffy nose, deep chest congestion, LOTS of coughing! General exhaustion and weariness! <br />
<b>Labor Signs: </b>none yet!<br />
<b>Belly Button in or out? </b>In, and shallow!!!!<b> </b><br />
<b>Wedding rings on or off? </b>Off. :(<br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Definitely happy, but maybe a little more short tempered. And SLEEPY! <b> </b><br />
<b>Weekly Wisdom: </b>Hmm.<b> </b>Do lots of kegels early in your pregnancy so you don't pee in your pants a little bit every time you sneeze or cough! :-P<br />
<b>Current Reads: </b>I have LOTS of books on the list.... now if i could just find some time to read! lol. We're also doing our Birth Bootcamp twice a week if we can manage, so that's adding a lot of study time too!<br />
<b>Looking forward to: </b>interviewing another Pediatrician on Thursday, going to a Candlelight for the next Women's Walk to Emmaus on Saturday, and hopefully being LESS busy in general this week!!<br />
<b>On the "Honey Do" list: </b>Not a lot, actually! It's time to start gathering our Home Birth supplies! That's super exciting!<br />

</b><br />
<b>How far along? </b>32 weeks!<br />
<b>Trimester: </b>3rd<br />
<b>Days to Go: </b>56 days! eek! (as of Monday, the 2nd)<br />
<b>Baby size: </b>16.7 inches, the size of a large jicama, whatever that is! haha<br />
<b>Baby weight: </b>3.75 pounds... that's almost FOUR pounds! holy crap!<br />
<b>Stretch marks? </b>I got my FIRST one this week!!! It's small, and on my right side. I'm not DEVASTATED yet, only b/c I already had some there from middle school, getting tall too quickly. Maybe that will be the only place i get them??? Fingers crossed!<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>Getting harder and harder to get comfortable! My belly needs support under it, my hips get a little numb if I lay on one side too long, and turning over takes an act of God! Still getting up at least once to pee, I'm considering it a good night if its only once! But I did sleep in til 9am today (Friday) so that was AWESOME!!!<br />
<b>Best moment this week: </b>My first shower was on Tuesday!!! My besties threw me a work shower, and it was SO beautiful and fun! I got lots of adorable gifts and I'm even more excited now for the rest of our showers! I posted a whole album of shower pics on Facebook if you want to see more! ;-)<br />

<b> </b><br />
<b>Miss anything? </b>I miss sleeping on my stomach and being able to stretch without worrying about leg cramps!<br />
<b>Movement: </b>I think she's starting to get a little more cramped in there! I still love feeling her move though, and it is definitely something I will miss when she is here! <b> </b><br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>Nothing specific really, but I am definitely getting hungry more often than I have been!<br />
<b>Anything making you queasy? </b>If i go too long without eating, I'm noticing that I feel queasy again. <br />
<b>Labor Signs: </b> This question used to seem soooo far away... ;-/ it's feeling much more real now, but no, no labor signs yet!<br />
<b>Belly Button in or out? </b>Still in! Pretty much flat or flush with my belly though! The other day I was examining my belly, and I noticed that theres a large 2'' circular area surrounding my existing belly button that seems more curved in than the rest of my belly. I pointed it out to Luke and he said, "yeah that's what the rim of your belly button used to be." And I'm looking at it going .... "Nooo way!" But I guess he's right! That's really bizarre!<br />
<b>Weddi</b><b>ng rings on or off? </b>definitely off. Miss my ring!<br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Happy! totally!<br />
<b>Weekly Wisdom: </b>You're the mom. You do what YOU want! Do what's right for your kid!<br />
<b>Current Reads: </b>Lots of great blogs, such as: http://styleberryblog.com/the-baby-list-everything-you-need-to-have-a-baby Also, doing an awesome Birth class onlilne: www.birthbootcamp.com<br />
<b>Looking forward to: </b> Our next shower on Thursday and our Jazz Band shower on Saturday!!! ;-)))<br />
<b>On the "Honey Do" list: </b>Pretty much completely finished... just need him to help me hang some shelves! So fun. I LOVE being in the nursery. It makes me happy!<br />

<br />
<b>How far along?</b> 31 Weeks! <br />
<b>Trimester:</b> 3rd<br />
<b>Days to Go: </b>63 days! wowzers!<b> </b><br />
<b>Baby size: </b>16.25 inches, or like carrying 4 navel oranges<br />
<b>Baby weight: </b>3.3 pounds, (at least!) lol<br />
<b>Maternity clothes?</b> yessss<br />
<b>Weight Gain? </b>Well we're still not talking about that, BUT I'm excited that in 9(ish) short weeks I can begin the journey back to my 130s!!! Can't wait to get started getting my body back! So glad I'm going to be blessed enough to stay home with Tenley so that I can eat healthy food and have time to exercise! Whether that's with her in a stroller, or on DVDs while she's napping, whatever that means, I'm ready for it!!! <br />
<b>Stretch marks? </b>still none yet, thank you Lord!<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>pretty much seem to be waking up twice a night now... that's even less fun. Getting harder and harder to roll over, get out of bed, get comfy, etc. And i'm SUPER HOT at bedtime. Even with a fan blowing right on me, plus the ceiling fan, and the AC on 71, I'm still hot!!!It's weird b/c I don't seem to be that hot-natured all the time. Just while I'm in bed. Odd!<br />
<b>Best moment this week: </b>Hearing little Miss Tenley's perfect heartbeat at our appt with Carol yesterday!<br />
<b>Miss anything?</b> Moving with agility and balance.<br />
<b>Movement: </b>Still feeling her quite a bit. She's getting a little more crowded, so not as much as before, but I still love feeling her move. It's definitely a different feeling than before too. It used to be more sweet little nudges, but now it's more like I feel her rolling around, it's more "movement" than kicks that really catch my attention these days. And I think she's taken to stomping on my bladder too. that's not very nice, Tenley!<br />
<b>Food cravings:</b> Nothing specific, just hungry more often than usual. <br />
<b>Anything making you queasy or sick: </b>No, not really. Just teeth-brushing.<br />
<b>Labor Signs: </b>None yet, but I MAY have had a light Braxton Hicks or two but I'm not really sure!<br />
<b>Belly Button in or out? </b>Still in!!! <br />
<b>Wedding rings on or off?</b> off. :( <br />
<b></b><br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Tired? is that an option??? They weren't lying about being tired again in your 3rd trimester. There just aren't enough hours in the day to do everything I want to get done, keep my feet propped up to let the swelling go down, AND get to bed on time!!!<br />
<b>Weekly Wisdom: </b>Hmm, did you ever stop to think about how when we feed infants formula, it's actually cows milk? Cows milk, which was made by our Creator to feed baby cows, is meant to make a 30 pound calf gain 100 pounds in a year.... is that really the best thing to feed our human babies? Breast Milk is BEST!<br />
<b>Current Reads: </b>The Joy of Breastfeeding by Linda McDonald, Hypnobabies<br />
<b>Looking forward to:</b> Our showers! Can't wait to get some real baby stuff and start feeling more prepared!<br />
<b>On the "Honey Do" list:</b> Need to hang the mirror over the changing table, and the shelves up on the wall. I am bound and determined to try to get the "Family Tree" put up TONIGHT! ;-) wish me luck!McMillan Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12429667335329194447noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768611700281425143.post-29010629100565962562012-03-19T20:43:00.003-05:002012-03-22T19:59:31.327-05:0030 weeks!

<b>How far along? </b>Holy THIRTY WEEKS BATMAN!!!<br />
<b>Trimester: </b>third!<br />
<b>Days to Go: </b>70<br />
<b>Baby size: </b>15 and 3/4 inches and about the size of a large head of cabbage! <br />
<b>Baby weight: </b>Almost 3 pounds!<br />
<b>Total weight gain: </b>ha. well. alls i know is that I can't cross my legs anymore because my thighs are too fat and my belly gets in the way! BUT--- the good news is, I'm "supposed" to gain about a pound a week for the next ten weeks, and THEN I get to start losing again! Can't wait to have my body back!<br />
<b>Maternity clothes? </b>The softer, looser and comfier the better!!!<br />
<b>Stretch marks? </b>None yet! yay!<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>Hit or miss! Some nights I wake up 2 or 3 times a night to pee, sometimes I can make it 6 hours! I haven't been getting ENOUGH sleep lately, because I've got soo much to do, and I've also been really HOT at night! I've got a fan right next to my bed blowing on me!<br />
<b>Best moment this week: </b>Seeing the CRIB all set up in the nursery, FINALLY! Luke put it together as a surprise for me on Saturday when I was busy cooking all day!<br />
<b>Miss anything? </b>MY MOBILITY! It's getting hard to lift my leg up to get in the car, especially now that I'm in the Element, which is substantially taller than my Bug!! Putting on undies or pants with ease, not to mention socks and shoes! Thankfully it's getting to be flip flop-all-the-time season!<br />
<b>Movement: </b>Oh yes! Lots! Some of them are getting to be a little twinge-of-painfulness, but generally I still really love feeling her move and watching my belly wriggle!<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>mmm nothing specific. I really like spicy stuff now, moreso than ever before. I even ordered jalapeno breadsticks when I was not with Luke the other day! That's odd.<br />
<b>Anyt</b><b>hing making you queasy or sick: </b>Really no, just gag sometimes when I brush my teeth still.<br />
<b>Labor Signs: </b>none yet! I have felt my belly tightening up at times lately, but I don't think these feelings are necessarily Braxton Hicks yet. <br />
<b>Belly Button in or out? </b>Still in! I hope it stays there. lol<br />
<b>Wedding rings on or off? </b>definitely off.<br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>both. ;) I'm much more short tempered and easily grouchified. Still feel like I'm complaining a lot, which I don't mean to be, but I think it's just b/c I want Luke to understand what I'm feeling! lol<br />
<b>Weekly Wisdom: </b>hmmm i got nothin' this week!<br />
<b>Current Reads: </b>The Hunger Games trilogy!!! Wait, what's that you say? That's not a baby-related book? oh!<br />
<b>Looking forward to: </b>Our showers! Can't wait to get some useful baby stuff, as opposed to just all the cute stuff I've been buying!!! And seeing the nursery alllll finished! It's SOOO close now. I bet I'll have it MOSTLY done by the time Luke gets back from his Walk to Emmaus, but there are still a few things I need him to do for me when he gets back!<br />
<b>On Luke's </b><b>"Honey Do" list:</b><br />
-hang mirror over changing table<br />
-hang shelves up<br />
<br />
<br />
On MY to-do list while Luke is gone:<br />
-finish touch ups on the furniture (I've pretty much completely "un-shabbied" them all! lol) See below!<br />
-put up "Family Tree" circles and get/decide on family pictures to hang in the circle-frames.<br />

</div><br />
<b>How far along? </b>29 Weeks<br />
<b>Trimester: </b>3rd trimester! ahh!<br />
<b>Days to Go: </b>78 days to go... oh boy!<br />
<b>Baby size: </b>15 and a half inches, or the size of a butternut squash!<br />
<b>Baby weight: </b>2.5 pounds!<br />
<b>Stretch marks? </b>Still none! Praise the Lord! And my belly button isn't feeling quite so tight or sore lately either!<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>Depends on the night! Some nights I'm having to get up 2 or 3 times to pee. That sucks!!! I need to get my sleep before the baby gets here!!! I'm also having more hip pain and needing to roll over more frequently, which is getting harder and harder to do! Especially in the double-size bed we were in at Disney! Argh! And my body pillow is just starting to make me HOT, more than anything! So, yeah, sleep and I are growing more distant by the day! :((( Anyone who knows me knows i love my sleep!<br />
<b>Best moment this week: </b>Having our picture taken with Mickey and Minnie Mouse! See above! I can't wait to take Tenley back and get the same picture, but with her on the outside this time!<br />
<b>Miss anything? </b>I miss having a long stride! This has never been more apparent than it was at Disney, when I had to walk about a bajillion miles a day, and I had to keep asking Luke to slow down, but finally I realized that it wasn't that he was walking too FAST it's just that his legs are long, and so his STRIDE is super long too... and mine is about, ohhh 6 inches these days! That was a really frustrating realization for me! <br />
<b>Movement: </b>Lots and lots! Getting stronger and stronger every day! I love watching my belly thump around. It's not painful yet, but sometimes I DO think she's stomping on my bladder intentionally! lol<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>Actuallly this week, I was randomly NOT hungry... for several days. Could've just been the traveling, the resort food, thought it's quite yummy food! My belly was pretty displeased about it in general. So I had to force myself to eat. That was no fun. Finally by our last night, I was feeling better just in time to eat in Epcot's World Showcase! My fave!!! I had a delicious platter of chicken and onions, hummus, cous cous, and parsley salad from a restaurant in Morocco!<br />
<b>Anything making you queasy or sick: </b>Nothing in particular! I have had crazy heartburn that never seems to go away though! no fun.<b> </b><br />
<b>Labor Signs: </b>None yet!<br />
<b>Belly Button in or out? </b>still in!<b> </b><br />
<b>Wedding rings on or off? </b>Off. :( I like the giant (glass) rock in my $10 claire's ring, but I miss wearing my wedding and engagement rings!!!<br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Mmmmm I wouldn't say "Moody" so much as "Complainy" perhaps! Or maybe it was just mostly the traveling? I dunno, but I felt like a Complainy Complainerson this week and I hated to be at Disney and feeling grouchy, but it was hard to be away from home!!! Especially while pregnant, asking my body to be more physical than I am used to, for longer amounts of time than I'm used to, eat on a different schedule than I'm used to, wait to go to the bathroom for longer than I'm used to, ride on brake-happy charter buses for way longer than necessary, sit in uncomfy airports for longer than you'd like.... and sleep in a teeny tiny bed! In a second story room.... with no roomservice during the day! lol. But it's ok. I survived, and I'm glad we got some cool pictures! I definitely didn't force the issue on some days. In fact, I stayed in all day on Sunday because it was raining, and we slept in most mornings, and we went back and took a 3 hour nap during the hottest part of the day on Tuesday. So I tried to listen to my body and do what I needed to do instead of just forcing myself to try to have fun!<br />
<b>Weekly Wisdom: </b>Ummmm don't go to Disney World when you're preggers. lol<br />
<b>Current Reads: </b>This week, I took off from reading birth books (or, should I say, feeling guilty about NOT reading the birthbooks I need to be) and I finished the first and second Hunger Games books! I'm eager to start the third book, but I need to knock out a few things on the to-do list first! I HATE how slow I read non-fiction when I can blast though a fiction book in a day!<br />
<b>Looking forward to: </b>Getting the crib in the room and seeing the bedding all put together! Getting the rest of the decorations on the walls! <br />
<b>On the "Honey Do" list: </b>We need to hang the mirror over the changing table and hang some shelves. I finished the Name letters tonight and I can't wait to hang them on the wall! Also still need to put up the Family Tree, but I'm waiting on having all the furniture in the room before I commit to decorations on the walls.... just in case we need to do any rearranging if it doesn't fit or feels too crowded. We picked up the changing table today, and I was a little disappointed in how it looked... It is a black dresser, with two big openings in the bottom for baskets to go in. The place I bought it from does custom paint jobs, and they almost always do "shabby chic"ing to the pieces, where they sand down the edges and give it a slightly antiqued or worn look. When we bought this dresser in January, I talked to the owner about NOT shabby-ing it, because I wasn't sure that would match with the theme of the room that I was going for, but then she told me that I really would want it, and that even people who have them not do the shabby, usually come back and ask them to shabby it later... so I took her word for it. But the more I thought about it, I was worried, so when my custom knobs came in from Etsy, I made it a point to go up there and talk to them about not doing the shabby again, and AGAIN I left with her talking me into it, and that I really would want it. Then I went up there a THIRD time and specifically said I didn't think I wanted the shabby and I talked to the owner and the 2 other worker-women this time, and they all three said it would look great, and not look country, and that it would fit nicely in the modern room that I was planning........ So again, I left agreeing to it, just to do it lightly... Sure wish I'd been more assertive on the fact that I didn't want that. Because now, I have a $300 dresser that I'm not 100% happy with and that sucks. And I paid an arm and a leg for them to paint my cheap crib and toy box.... and they're going to be shabbied too. Not sure what I want to do about that, because It's already taken them forever to get my stuff finished in the first place, so the last thing I want to do is take it back up there and wait some more. But at the same time, I've paid this place over $500 so I really should be happy with the finished product... :-/<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>How far along? </b>28 Weeks<br />
<b>Trimester: </b>THIRD! Eeeeek!<br />
<b>Days to Go: </b>84 more days! wow.<br />
<b>Baby size: </b>14.8 inches, the size of a chinese cabbage<br />
<b>Baby weight: </b>2.25 pounds! at least!!!<br />
<b>Total weight gain: </b>la la la..... At our appointment with Carol this weekend, I didn't gain as much this past month as I did the month BEFORE, but still kindof a lot, I gathered. I'm still not looking and asking not to be told. I just don't want to know. <br />
<b>Maternity clothes? </b>yes, and some of them are even getting too tight. I (dumbly) attempted to put on an old pair of non-maternity pants that used to be way too big, and yeah i couldn't even *attempt* to close them. Like, at all. lol (I have to laugh or I just might cry!)<br />
<b>Stretch marks? </b>Not yet.... but i feel like I'm thisclose to getting some on/around my belly button. It is TENDER! above and below. Very tender. And tight. Yesterday Luke accidentally put too much pressure on my belly button while he was talking to our baby, and I shrieked! It's realllllly tender. :( But that seems to be the only place!<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>Not too terrible lately. But I'm feeling sleepier and sleepier! I did find out Saturday that my hemoglobin (iron) levels are low, so I'm starting to take some chlorophyll, which is supposed to help. And I bought some new prenatals so maybe those will make a difference too! <br />
<b>Best moment this week: </b>seeing my sister's face the first time she got to feel her niece kick! ;-)<br />
<b>Miss anything? </b>I'm about to be missing my CARRRR! :( My sister is here<b> </b>from North Carolina and she brought my dad's Honda Element for me to drive, and she's taking my VW bug back to NC for my mom to drive. I miss my car already! I LOVE driving my fast, tiny, YELLOW car with my huge pink flower! I'm going to miss it a lot, but I am looking forward to this next chapter. I SUPPOSE Lil Miss Tenley is worth giving up my precious car! haha!! Luke is not quite as disappointed in this new exchange as I am. lol He's looking forward to driving something a litttttle more manly! lol<br />
<b>Movement: </b>Lots! Every so often they make me exclaim out loud, "Woah" or "Oooh!" Sometimes when I feel her kick now, I can tell it's definitely a BODY part, as opposed to just fluttery popcorn popping inside there. Really crazy to think about. I LOVE sitting here with my shirt pulled up watching my belly wriggle and thump around. I like to put the remote control or my iphone on my tummy so I can see it teeter-totter around as she moves. (did I say that last week? lol! I can't remember!) Sometimes, her dad and I like to play a little game where we push on my tummy in different places, and occasionally she'll push back in the same place! haha! It could be coincidence, but we like to think we're interacting with our daughter! ;-)<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>Nothing in particular!<br />
<b>Anything making you queasy or sick: </b>just brushing my teeth.<br />
<b>Have you started to show yet: </b>ha. ha.<br />
<b>Gender: </b>teeny sweet lil girl!<br />
<b>Labor Signs: </b>none yet!<br />
<b>Belly Button in or out? </b>extremely shallow!<b> </b><br />
<b>Wedding rings on or off? </b>ive been wearing my fake-bling with my wedding band, but even those are starting to feel tight and i take them off several times throughout the day. :( <br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Happy MOST of the time, but I am definitely feeling more emotional than normal.<br />
<b>Weekly Wisdom: </b>I may have said this before, but I wish I'd taken the advice to "Eat BETTER, not more." I'm TRYING... but not being as successful as I would've thought I'd be able to be. <br />
<b>Current Reads: </b>Hypnobirthing, Chicken Soup, and I'm about to start reading The Hunger Games!!! Eep!<br />
<b>Looking forward to: </b>Leaving for Disney on Saturday (in the wee hours)! I'm so excited about one last "Babymoon" but I'm also tired already just thinking about it! I can't ride any of the rides, so I don't know what I'll do besides EAT! But I'm still excited about going! I'm also looking forward to taking some maternity pics, if I can decide on a (or decide to pay a TON of money to a great) photographer!!!<br />
<b>On the "Honey Do" list: </b>Tonight, Luke sanded the wooden letters we got for her name, and Caitlin has been helping me cut out paper circles and get the curtains ready! We're really playing a waiting game for the furniture to be finished getting painted, because I don't want to put anything on the walls until I'm SURE the furniture will fit where I think it will! Just in case I have to rearrange! But I'm really really really getting excited to see the finished project!McMillan Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12429667335329194447noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768611700281425143.post-18232764228505119822012-02-27T22:04:00.000-06:002012-02-27T22:04:02.667-06:0027 Weeks!!!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
<b>How far along? </b>27 Weeks! Holy Moly!!!<br />
<b>Trimester: </b>Ummm 2nd Trimester, according to the two apps I use, but according to other sources, 27 weeks is the THIRD TRIMESTER!!! Ahhhhhhh! It's going by sooo fast! So fast!<br />
<b>Days to Go: </b>91 days to go!<br />
<b>Baby size: </b>14.5 inches, if her legs were all stretched out! wowzers! The size of a head of cauliflower!<br />
<b>Baby weight: </b>2 pounds! And she could be even more, ACTUALLY! It's just 2 pounds according to my app. I have a student this year who was only 3 pounds when she was born! That's kind of amazing to think about.........<br />
<b>Total weight gain: </b>hmph. And I'm SURE I'm going to be in trouble with my midwife b/c she moved up our appointment to this THURSDAY so I'll barely have ANY time to undo the damage I did by eating myself into oblivion this weekend!!!!!! Argh. <br />
<b>Maternity clothes? </b>yesss<br />
<b>Stretch marks? </b>none so far! fingers crossed! But feeling like it's GOT to be inevitable at this point! lol<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>not too bad lately. I am starting to get some leg cramps, especially when I wake up in the morning. As long as I quickly flex my feet and stretch out my calves, I can avoid a true "cramp" but I'm just hoping it can stay that way! I read in my weekly pregnancy info this morning that those cramps are caused by pressure from my uterus pressing on veins and nerves. I've also been having some shooting pains in my lower back when I walk sometimes. Especially when I step on my left foot. That's kind of interesting to me. Our bodies are miraculous creations!!<br />
<b>Best moment this week: </b>My Walk to Emmaus--- in it's entirety. I loved growing spiritually, strengthening my relationship with God, working through some deep-seated personal issues I've had for a long time, and becoming a more confident and Godly woman who is moving into a whole new chapter of life, MOTHERHOOD! :-) I feel more equipped now to provide Tenley with what she needs to feel a sense of belonging in her church home, and for me to be a confident, genuine, outspoken Christian example for her to witness.<br />
<b>Miss anything? </b>sushi, diet cokes, wine! Bending over easily. Wearing my engagement ring! Being tan!<br />
<b>Movement: </b>Tons! I think she had the hiccups tonight! I LOVE watching my belly bump around. I'm often sitting here with my shirt all pulled up so I can watch her wiggle! In fact, I missed being able to do that on my Walk, since I had a roommate I was trying not to freak out! lol<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>Yes. lol. Everything! Nothing in particular.<br />
<b>Anything making you gag: </b>Just brushing my teeth.<br />
<b>Have you started to show yet: </b>Ha. ha. One of the girls on my walk, (who happened to be 5'10''!) sweetly told me that she was as big when she delivered as I am now... haha. Thaaaanks! lol<br />
<b>Gender: </b>I LOVE buying sweet little girl things for her to wear, have in her room, play with.... so sweet.<br />
<b>Labor Signs: </b>none<br />
<b>Belly Button in or out? </b>Verrrry shallow! The scar I have from having my belly button pierced USED to be right at the top curve of my belly button, but NOW it's like, an INCH from my existing belly button. And I've been feeling a lot of tightness/pressure/tenderness around my belly button, top and bottom lately. <br />
<b>Wedding rings on or off? </b>My fingers are definitely getting too fat for my rings. All of them. :(((<br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Happppppppy!<br />
<b>Weekly Wisdom: </b>Losing a lot of weight before getting pregnant, while still a good idea, results in gaining too much weight and having size-image issues! lol I really would've thought I knew better!<br />
<b>Current Reads: </b>Chicken Soup, Hypnobirthing, Adult Children of Alcoholics- a book I picked up on my Walk, as well as Shepherding the Child's Heart, Who Moved My Cheese, and a book of quotes for Moms that one of my table-mates picked out for me! So sweet!<br />
<b>Looking forward to: </b>What am I NOT looking forward to would be an easier question!!! I guess, this week, I'm looking forward to getting my hair done on Wednesday, and seeing our midwife on Thursday and hearing little Tenley's heartbeat, and then on Friday Caitlin and Colin get here!!!!!!!!!!!! Yayyyyy!!!<br />
<b>On the "Honey Do" list: </b>Paint the wooden letters that we got for her name sign, need to move the dresser into the closet and make sure it fits like I'm expecting it will, hang the giant mirror on the wall above where the changing table will go! Oooh and I got a call this morning from Furniture Junk-It saying they were starting on our pieces!!! Yay! I want the furniture now!!! lol :-))))))) I need to be working on making the background pieces for her name sign, attaching the ribbon, cutting out the circles for the Family Tree, attaching the ribbons to her curtains and hanging them....

to trace and cut out and glue on, as well as an addition to our shower curtain to hold my iPhone and allow me to see messages or perhaps listen to music if my speakers are loud enough (pics to follow), as well as sew on the ribbons for her curtains, and as soon as her name letters arrive in the next few days, I get to cut/paint circles for them to go on and attach ribbon to hang them with! Also gotta finish prepping my My Sister's House stuff to consign! Lots to do! The nursery is coming along, and I can't WAIT to see it finished!<br />
<br />
Here's just a few more pics for fun:<br />
