Family of Four

Has it been more than a week already since we gave birth to Zoe Addison! OMG... It has! Boy does time fly. Let me just say, it was another amazing time and experience with the Epidural. We were together again working together to help relieve the pain which is still called Laboring. It is no easy task but this time around, it only lasted hours as opposed to on and off for a whole week!

Majority of my pain from the contractions with Zoe were just in the front of my belly. With Haydn, they were in my belly and back and traveled down to my thighs. Crazy.

I have a lot of adjusting to do and Haydn is doing really well being a big sister. She is very patient and just waits till I'm done feeding or changing Zoe before its her turn to cuddle. Although I do miss just having my day with Haydn, I'm sure I am going to love the adventure of being with little Owen and little Jp. (I totally see Jp in Zoe)

Well, cheers to being a family of four :)

12 Week Countdown

Hi again!

12 weeks left! woohoo! I feel ssooo good this time around. I have more energy, I'm eating better but have my occasional cinnamon roll :). I just went to the Doc on Tuesday... and it was time to weigh in... uugghhh!!! I was scared... But happy to announce I gained 6lbs this month :) I was quite proud of myself considering how much junk I ate.. hehe... But still eating better this time around... I know.. bazarre.

My tummy grew 6 centimeters this month too... Thinking back this month, I could actually feel myself getting bigger and stretching more than I have already. I feel bigger and I look way bigger. At work, when people come in , they are starting to notice I'm preggy now... It's about time too!

So my total weight gain... 18lbs! I'm really proud of myself... Now let's see how I do with the home stretch... Officially 7 months preggy!

OH... and the name game begins... I hate this part!

15 Week Countdown

This pregnancy is a breeze! It really went by so fast! But I am looking forward to it ending soon. I know... so soon! But I know what kind of damage is ahead of me if I keep craving Cinnamon Rolls from Cinnabon! OMG! They are really amazing!

Topic of the day... Cravings! They are truly an amazing gift from God! hehe. I didn't have any cravings with Haydn but this one... man oh man... if I hear something appetizing, I have to have it! Like cinnamon rolls for example... Cinnabon is pretty good, BC Cafe was amazing, homemade ones.... they filled the craving... not so much amazing!haha. I went from fruit to pure sugary calorie filled desserts! I really hope my 12 lb weight gain doesn't turn to 30lbs by June 17th... my next appt! Eeks!

second topic of the day has to do with haydn... I am so thankful for Haydn's school and her teachers! Especially Mrs. Flo. Not only is she seasoned, we see eye to eye in regards to God and she supports whatever Jp and I decide on how to raise Haydn and I truly feel like she was meant to impact our lives so much more than just her taking care of Haydn. Anyway... she brought up the topic of setting boundaries for Haydn. I don't know if you know, but Haydn is one of the most friendliest babies ever! Yeah... it's cute, but is it fun when she runs up to people in the mall and says hi to everyone and sometimes ask people to carry her... NO! It scares me with how open she is to anyone... Friends and family, by all means, but total strangers... she doesn't know any better, so we are starting to "Set Boundaries"

Now how the heck are we gonna do that! Sheesh... Right now, we are teaching her she can only kiss Mama and Dad on the lips, anyone else, she can only hug or kiss on the cheek... but she gets a kick out of kisses on the forehead. When she kisses you on the forehead, you can get a little giggle out of her too! How do you guys "Set Boundaries" First time parents... a concept we knew we were gonna have to learn, but we didn't think so soon.

20 Weeks Preggy

Hi Everyone! So I'm 20 weeks preggy today! Woohoo! I'm not sick anymore and time is flying. Thankfully... I still fit in my regular pants too. This pregnancy is a little harder but I'm not as conscious about it or I don't realize my growing belly as much. Haydn kisses it and says baby, but other than than, I think she just likes the extra cushion :)

This baby kicks and moves so much. Don't know what we are having yet. But maybe, just maybe, we will get another ultrasound in the next month.

Haydn.... she is growing so fast! I love it and hate it. Not really growing in height... haha, but she can say so much now! She says and knows what Boba is too! When she sees me when I pick her up at school, she runs to me and says my name. Oh boy! I really love it! Hopefully we will get to sign her up for swimming lessons next month. I wanted to do April, but good thing I didn't cause it keeps raining.

She loves pasta or anything with noodles. She tries to use a spoon and is successful, but when she gets frustrated, she sticks to what she knows... her hands... lol!

I still need to get back on the computer cause there are so many pictures and so little time. How the pants got off her legs and at her face, I have no clue!

I'm so clumsy!

Being pregnant does not help with my clumsiness! Seriously, I will spill drinks, drop food, walk into doors and the list goes on and on... but the worst so far... I fell down the stairs!

It wasn't as horrible as it sounds, I just missed a step and fell on my butt, and slid down a few. More funny than anything, but my arm and hip are soar! LOL!

Me and the baby feel fine, but we are gonna check just in case.
