Gracie got her pictures taken today. They are so cute! I was really glad I applied some makeup today because for one of the pictures the photographer wanted me to kiss Gracie's forehead. There was this one picture where we stripped her down to her diaper and she was laying on a rose blanket. It literally had fake roses all over it ( Read more... )

I had my 4 week post partum checkup today. I just don't understand my body at all. My blood pressure today was 140/100. The nurse asked me if it was normally high like that. I explained about how around 37 weeks of my pregnancy it stayed around there. When I was in the hospital it was normal..during labor and after. Now here I am 4 weeks later and ( Read more... )

The other day when Ariel first told me Ash wasn't feeling good I should have said, "Call her back and tell her to come over a different day." Instead I went ahead and allowed her to come over. I thought maybe she just had a cold. I didn't feel great about that, but she was already on her way and she doesn't have a cell phone so it's not like anyone ( Read more... )

Chad called me tonight. He was trying to get ahold of me around the time I had Grace, but I wasn't up to talking so I never answered. He lives in Vinncennes now w/ his gf Courtney. His cousin, Tim, got killed in a wreck the other day and that's why he's coming up. Tim was only 31..32 tops. He had his shit together..I think had a couple kids..he was ( Read more... )

I took my time getting my newspaper this morning. It's delivered right to my door. Around noon I decided I better get it so no one would take it. I opened the door and not only was my paper not there, but my mat was gone as well. I know Paul did it to make a point. I'm praying to God I get a job within a week. Once that happens I'm putting my ( Read more... )

It's official. I'm calling a lawyer to have the papers drawn up for Paul to sign his rights over. He agreed. I called him tonight asking him for money for diapers...yes I do have money for diapers..but he needs to step up and help out. He said, "DON'T FUCKING CALL MY PHONE!" I called him right back and he had some uneducated sounding female answer ( Read more... )

OK! This picture thing is pissing me off!! I've uploaded the pictures to yahoo photos. It won't work so I'm going to have to go elsewhere. I did, however, make a new icon...which was Gracie somewhere in the 2 week range! That will have to do for now!

The doctor told me to quit giving Grace 3 oz at each feeding. She said it's too much and to only give 2. I see her point, but you always hear about how babies won't eat when they aren't hungry. I understand that she's only 24 days old, but she kills that 3 oz. Maybe the doctor is right. It does seem like when I pump now I am getting just about 2 oz ( Read more... )

Grace went and sat on the Easter Bunny's lap today. The picture is priceless. I still don't have an Easter dress for her yet, but I'm hoping by tomorrow I will. I couldn't believe how much it cost. A package of 4 pictures..I think they were 3x5s, but I can't remember was $21.19. What happened to the little $5 poloroid from when I was a kid? Now it' ( Read more... )

I finally did it. Last night I decided to weigh myself. Weighing yourself at night is never a good idea since it's the end of the day, you've been eating all day so you weigh more then you would in the morning. 18 days after giving birth I've lost 22 of the 27 pounds I gained! UH OH!! That's pretty exciting. I'm going to lose this last 5 and then I ( Read more... )
