so i haven't been blogging. :P big surprise unfortunately (not). between working part-time, being pregnant with my 2nd child, caring for a toddler and running a home (oh yeah, and my marriage too *sigh*) i did not have any motivation to blog.
so what's happened since the last post? lots. had a good summer with August off where hubby and i got to do lots of projects around the house. and deal with a stupid neighbour. but i digress. then i went back to work for 6 weeks (until i was 33 wks pg) and spent the time counting down! LOL
then my pregnancy took a turn. i started putting on a bunch of weight, due to excess fluid in my uterus. i had to go for weekly ultrasounds, weekly midwife appts, and then weekly OB appts to monitor my status. *sigh* however, it is very good i took off work at 33 weeks. at 35 weeks my lil' stinker decided to turn BREECH! uugh. the babe had been head down for months, but with all my excess fluid, it's apparantly very easy for baby to flip around. so i then spent the rest of that week doing exercises from here. lying upside down, doing hand stands in a pool, inversions, etc. thankfully, prayer and inversions worked and baby turned back head down by the next ultrasound.
now, i had been having conversations with this babe about when it was allowed to come. my older daughter came at 36 wks 4 days, so was a "preemie". i told this babe it could come anytime after 37 weeks, 0 days. well, it did what it was told! my water broke at 37w0d. :O right after an afternoon getting maternity shots done by my Dad (LOL. i know. talk about cutting it close!)
the main story about this child and this birth is that she was born on Nov. 4th at 4:14pm via c-section. she was 7lbs 10oz and 20.5" long. her name is Rebecca and she is a cutie! we are in love with her and getting used to being parents of TWO!! kids. whew! it's busy.
anyways, there's the catch up! :) later gaters.
