Got me some Glee icons, yo! : )

I am feeling a deep need for snow. I want to run away to a place with snow. I have no idea what has propelled my deep childhood wistfulness for an Indiana white Christmas into a fever pitched frenzy of desire to be up to my eye balls in snow. *shrugs*

Kellan is being super insanely cute tonight. He is smiling now and seems to find everything Stephen and I say deeply amusing. What's better is that he doesn't do the big huge grin like some kids do. He just looked politely amused about everything. It reminds me of me, LOL.


ETA: Politely amused







Also, Aidan is the best Christmas tree ever!

herminia I don't know if you read post secret or not, but this one made me think of you today.




I have so many things swirling through my brain today. I wish I could see just a short distance into the future. Are we going to move to TX? To Boston or Chicago? To somewhere else? Not at all? I feel so unsettled by the not knowing, and yet I'm almost dizzy with anticipation. Just the thought of all the something that might be waiting for me in someplace I haven't seen yet.

How is everyone?


PS_ My perfect baby is sleeping through the night now. I'm almost afraid to have a 3rd baby now. He is even better than Aidan was as a baby and I fear that the next one would be Rosemary's baby to make up for it.

Ok, I made $50 from this site in 3 weeks, so I'm sharing the link. If nothing else I get $5 if you sign up from this link so here it is!

I fail at life. MY girls went out to see New Moon tonight. I did not. IT was for ASH's birthday so it's kind of a big deal. I could not find any motivation to go. I was up and very productive today. I cooked. I cleaned. I remade the f-ing bed. I made brownies and did laundry and dishes. This isn't a situation where I was too tired because I have a new baby. I could have gone. I even had 10 oz of breatmilk frozen and ready to be bottle fed. Instead I watched Bones. I fail at friendship I guess, but all I want to do these days is cuddle my baby and watch Bones.

Am I the only Bones watcher here? Because the last 2 episodes have been freaking epic, and my 2 Bones buddies are DVD watchers so I am alone in my Squee. If anyone here doesn't watch it, shame on you and start. But from the beginning or you won't like it.

So I got behind on tv (what with having a baby and all) btu last weeks episode of Glee was way awesome, and OMG Best Bones EVER!!! IT featured my 3 favorite things: Booth/Brennan shipping moments, Mr. Nigel Murray, and Gordon-Gordon! : ) I was so squealy after it was over it was kind of ridiculous. So far, I have managed not to watch it again so Stephen won't mock me, but !!!!!

Also, new baby pictures. Kellan is the world's easiest baby, I swear. He eats, he plays he sleeps with only one 30 minute wake up at night. He's like a baby in a tv show that never bothers or disrupts anything. Plus he's sooooo cute!! :)

I have no idea if this will work, but here are the hospital pictures of me and Kellan. Don't worry, no graphic shots!

Also, please someone explain to my son that 5am is not bed time. Thanks!

WE are home!! : ) I was wondering if I was ever going to get out of that stinking hospital, but here we are. More pictures are to come of course, but here's the link for the hospital website with today's pictures.

Sorry my voice post was apparently a mess. He's here!!! Kellan Paul joined us at 4:03pm after only 10 minutes of pushing. He was 7lb 12oz being 3 weeks early. Dr said he eould have been 11 if he had made it to his due date. *phew*. He was 19 inches long and has a ton of hair. I will be adding pictures as soon as we can figure out what's up with the wifi on the laptop.

It's time to push! Here comes Kellan!

Wow. So they took Forever to get in here because of some emergencies but after 30 minutes I am contracting like a fool. Woo hoo! This ... Device was only supposed to ripen my cervix but it seems to be moving things along very quickly. Maybe tonight?!? I will keep updating

Yes I can! The induction begins!!!! I only had to wait 6 hours for the maternal fetal specialist to tell me what I already knew.

I am beginning to get really irritated here. There was in fact protein in my urine yesterday. Now my fluffy dr said if there was protein there was no conversation to be had and we were inducing. Doc on duty today wants maternal fetal medicine to come in and assess my risk to decide something. WTF??? My bloodpressure is high, I have protein in my urine which to me is even a bigger deal since I spent all day on bed rest and it still went up like that. She keeps talking about my being a "little bit early" like I am only 7 months pregnant or something. I am 37w4d. That's freaking full term by any standards. Grrr....
Anyway... I am still sitting in the stupid hospital, STILL waiting for someone to decide what the hell is going on just like I have been for the last 36 hours.

*sigh* The softest, fluffiest doctor in my practice is on call today. That is good in a way (and not just the way that I love her) but she is also not just going to induce me flat out. At this point if they lay me down my blood pressure is perfect, but if I am sitting up or moving around it spikes very high. They did 2 sets of labs to check for pre eclampsia, which were ok, but there was some glucose spilling. This means I get no baby at the moment. Instead I have to stay all day and overnight again to continue watching my labs and doing a 24 hr urine catch to check for protein output. If those results are not favorable then I am induced in the morning. If they are ok, then the maternal fetal specialists will come in to some sort of in depth testing to see if there are indications for delivery without an amnio to check for fetal lung maturity.

She did point out several times that if I would just go into labor on my own that this would all be much easier. I would love that both for the sake of getting on with it, and because I would really like for her to be the one who delivers me, but they won't let me even walk around because it raises my blood pressure. I am going to be a pregnant rebel and make tiny laps in my room today. This whole thing is beginning to annoy me. Plus, 8.6lb is more than Aidan weighed at birth, and no one else seems to find that nearly as alarming as I do.
So, labor vibes for me, please?

Still here. Nothing productive is happening with my contractions but they are still monitoring my BP and labs. Last nights ultrasound puts gigantor here at 8.66 lbs so I am going to be begging for delivery today. I'm hoping one of the softer, fluffier docs is on duty today so I have a better shot.

Good morning everyone!

First- Happy Birthday to be beautiful rainbowstrlght I heart you so, my fairy god lesbian!!

Second- My last blood pressure was 173/105 and my contractions are 12 minutes apart so we are going to the hospital to see what's up. The laptop is along for this ride, so there will be updates.

Today was from hell, but I will get to all that later. For now, fingers crossed that this is it and they keep me.

So it's October 31. I am due soon... Still having contractions.... If you thought today was the perfect day for our car to stop working, you'd be spot on. *headdesk*


Who wants to take bets on whether or not I go into labor with no car? AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so beyond stupid. I don't even know what's wrong with it. Grrr... I am very very irritated.
