It's 11:30pm and I just changed your diaper.. you like to stretch you arms and legs out on the changing table and it's soo cute.  I just put you in the cradle and you are wiggling around.. think it's time for some milky ( Read more... )

Tavi slept in our bedroom in the rock n' play while danny, lagrima and I all slept in the bed for the first time last night! It went well, but I was restless.  She slept from 9ish to 1ish, I fed her and put her back in the rocker.  She got up again around 4 and I fed her again, danny changed her diaper, back in the rocker.  Finally she got up at 5: ( Read more... )

Danny and I are officially sleep deprived parents!  Tavi has been overall, a pretty good baby.  She only cries when she's fussy, meaning she's hungry/gassy/poopy.  Although, the nights have been a bit of a challenge. Last night we decided to use the cradle Danny got from his friend Ben, and she LOVES it! Or at least, I do! She is so comfortable ( Read more... )

First let me just begin by saying I have no idea what day or time it is and haven't really had any concept of either since my baby girl was born! It seems crazy to think of where I was just a week ago, but I can't wait to go over every detail (that of which I can remember) with all of you!

Ok. My due date was 5/22, but by last weekend that day had ( Read more... )

Oh BOY! Here I am officially OVERDUE! And to think I thought you would come early, how silly of me! You must find my uterus quite comfy.  I've had such a weird week.  Having nothing to do everyday is strange and I feel out of it.  I've been having braxton hicks contractions all week but nothing that ever progresses to much.  On Tuesday they went on ( Read more... )

Woke up today with consistant braxton hicks contractions around 8:15am after (masterbating) and eating some cocoa crispies and my prego tea.  I also had some, what feels like, gas pain.  It started in my back and now it's wrapped around my sides down to my belly.  I can hear my intestines digesting good up in my chest which is weird.  Tavi is still ( Read more... )

I was really hoping you would come, moon baby... but you are currently nice and snug inside me while I eat yummy food and listen to the Beatles.  I can feel your little hands and big butt rubbing against me.  It's pretty incredible.  These last few weeks have been quite trying on me, physically and mentally.  Allergies are out of control bad, and I ( Read more... )

The last couple of days have been a blur.. I decided to end work earlier and applied for TDI Friday.  Sunday night I stayed over my rents place, in my old room, with lagrima.  She could hear people walking around and smell the cat, so she literally kept me up ALL NIGHT LONG.  I was soooo pissed off! She kept whining, and pacing and scratching the ( Read more... )

The past few weeks have been kind of a blur.. but I'll do my best to recap.  Between my 36/37wk doc visits I didn't gain any weight (holding steady at 135lbs!) but, they did find some protein in my urine.  Further testing confirmed that I should get a 24hour pee sample.. so they gave me this huge jug that I will be filling up all day.  Due to ( Read more... )

Very eventful past few weeks... we have a new doctor (Waddington), new midwife (Suzanne Lowe) and new hospital to deliver this little bundle in (Pawtucket Memorial Birthing Center)... all good changes! Danny and I took a tour of the hospital yesterday and everyone was so friendly and it felt so calm and quiet, not like a hospital.  I'm feeling more ( Read more... )
