Ava's 1 Month Old Already!

Wow, time flies when you have a 3 year old and a newborn at home! Ava turned a month old on Sunday! It hasn't been to hard adding Ava to the mix, for the most part she is a good baby, good sleeper most nights, of course we have had our moments, but in the hard moments we remember what we went through to get her here and suddenly those moments seem less hard. In her first month Ava had a clogged tear duct which isn't a big deal, Logan had that too and she also caught her first cold thanks to big brother. Luckily it wasn't too bad and there was no fever. Ava's one month check-up went well, doctor said she is doing great, and oh boy is she growing! She weighed in at a whopping 11 lbs 3 oz (Logan was in the 9lb range at 1 month) and she is 23.5 inches (which is 95th+ percentile) I guess her huge feet do mean shes going to be tall! Her head size is also in the 95th percentile, which is no big surprise, we have big headed kids thanks to Matt, haha. So our 1 month old is about the size of a 3 month old already and has outgrown all her newborn clothes and a lot of her 3 month clothes just fit her! She loves to eat that's for sure and unlike with Logan we haven't had to supplement with any formula, what a difference the good stuff makes! We are starting to introduce a bottle here and there so she can be fed when I am not available (skating, nights out, etc) Matt gave her the first bottle and she took it with no problems so that is good, I keep building up a milk stash in the freezer and her getting a bottle once in awhile takes some of the feeding pressure off of me. So life has been forever changed, but at the same time it feels like she has always been with us! She is changing so much already we can't wait to watch her grow and start interacting with all if us and watch her and Logan together. Logan is such a sweet big brother, he needs his extra attention right now that's for sure, but he never takes his frustrations out on Ava, he only shows her love which we couldn't be happier about! So happy 1 month to our sweet angel girl, Mommy, Daddy and big brother love you to the moon and back!

Happy Halloween!!

We sure had a busy and fun Halloween this year! Of course it was Ava's first Halloween and this was the first year that Logan really went trick-or-treating, and he really, really enjoyed that! We carved pumpkins on Friday night, Logan wasn't into it much, he watched Mommy and Daddy do all the work, but he liked the finished product. On Halloween we had our usual stops to make to show off the kids and their costume's and later that night we were going to a murder mystery dinner at my Mom's house. We did our trick-or -treating out in Dundee where we actually know more people than our own neighborhood, and once Logan saw some other kids doing it, he caught on real fast. Logan was running from house to house and very excited about all his candy in his pumpkin. We went around my Mom's block and headed back since it was so darn cold outside.
Once we got back to Mom's Matt and I changed into our 50's gear for the murder mystery dinner, Matt was the business man and I was the cheerleader. My aunts and uncles also came out for the dinner and Logan had a blast playing with his cousins and little miss Ava just hung out and ate as we did our mystery dinner. You will be happy to know that neither Matt nor I were the murderer, however Matt was involved in a plan with others so he wasn't as innocent haha.
It was pretty late when we finished up and Logan fell asleep before he even made it out to the car (something that never happens at Grandma's!) All in all it was a fun Halloween this year, can't wait for next year!

It's A Girl!!!!!

The wait is over, our little bundle is finally here and as you all know by now it's a girl!!!! Surprising isn't it? After an 18 year girl dry spell on all three sides of my family we finally have another girl in the family, and Matt' s immediate family is also light on girls. It was about time, break out the pink and bows!

Unfortunately we didn't get to have our VBAC, but at 41 weeks and 1 day I was ready to be done and so was my body. We went in for the repeat c-section and my blood pressure was up so they ran labs on me again as they had done when I was monitored in L&D at 40 weeks for pre-eclampsia but this time they came back positive. I would have to be put on magnesium sulfate again which we really wanted to avoid because of the terrible side effects for both me and the baby. We also found out because they had 4 unplanned c-sections already that day, they were running very late and my doctor had to be on a plane at a certain time, so we also didn't get to have my doctor deliver, but the doctor that did deliver just happen to be the one other doctor we have seen in the practice so that worked out well. Since I was now high risk because of the pre-e I would be in one of the intensive care rooms on the old post-partum floor and wouldn't get to stay in the new state of the art "tower" rooms...everything that could go wrong right off the bat did, but once she was here, it didn't matter.

Since my doctor was aware of our very difficult c-section with Logan and all the things I felt left out of because of it, he ordered that they not start my magnesium until after delivery, which really made a huge difference and I was awake and able to enjoy this delivery. I went back about an hour later than planned, and they got me ready to go, I got a spinal block rather than the epidural this time, and while it hurt a lot more and took a lot more time than my epidural did to be placed, I had much better pain relief during this section. Once the spinal was in they let Matt in and got down to business. The c-section took longer than my first because of scar tissue from the last one and I also had another problem they had to fix that was a result of my last section, so getting to the baby took longer than it would have other wise, which was nerve racking. Once they got her out they dropped the drape so I could see her as I had requested (with Logan I didn't get to see him until much later and he was all wrapped up already) and Matt got a picture. Seeing her right away was amazing and my first thoughts were that I could see Logan in her, and that she looked huge! She didn't cry until they go her under the warmer, it's always nerve wracking until you here the first cry, but boy once she started she sounded loud and healthy. They had Matt come over and he got to cut the remainder of the cord which is something else we didn't get to do with Logan, but since my doctor is so awesome he made sure all these things happened for us this time. Once Matt was done he came over by me and showed me some pictures he took on the camera. They weighed her and she came in at a whopping 8lbs 4.5oz (almost a pound bigger than Logan) and 20.25 inches (a little shorter than Logan). Her apgars were awesome at 8/9. She did have the umbilical cord wrapped around her body, which might have been the reason she never fully engaged and started labor, and in the long run was probably a good thing. If I had gone into labor the cord would have been compressed at some point during labor and delivery which would have effected her heart rate which happens to to be the number one indicator of scar rupture in VBAC births and I would have been hauled off for an emergency c-section. I believe that God was watching over us and this really was the safest way for her to get here and that's why I never went into labor. Once they got her all wrapped up the nurse brought her over to me and I actually got to hold her (with help) while still laying on the operating table, and it was awesome. Matt took her while they finished up with me and we took some more pictures before heading to recovery.

They started my magnesium once we were in recovery, I tried to feed her but she didn't want to eat and then Matt went and got the family to come see her. I think everyone except for my Mom who thought she was a girl along, was pleasantly surprised to meet Ava! Everyone got a chance to hold her, and eventually I started to feel the effects of the magnesium and by then it was time to move over to the post-partum floor, so we said our goodbyes and we moved over to our room. Ava was taken up to the nursery for her bath and look over and I was given another boost of magnesium which I really reacted too, luckily my Mom was still with us and she kept me cooled off with towels during the 20 minutes of magnesium hell. Eventually I started to feel a little better and Ava was brought back to us and I was able to feed her. I did much better overall this time around and was even able to leave a day early which was great because I missed Logan so much and just wanted to be home with him.

All in all this birth experience was like night and day compared to Logan's birth. It was very healing in a way. Having Ava with us the whole time and knowing she was healthy was a prayer answered, and when we all went home together this time, another answered prayer. It was such a long road to get her here and now that she is here we can't imagine life with out her. She is so beautiful and we are so thankful for our new bundle.

We thank you all for your well wishes, we are all doing well and just getting adjusted to being a family of four now!

NST and LAST OB Appointment!

Went in for my NST (non-stress test) and LAST OB visit (whoo hoo!). The baby wasn't cooperating at first and we had a hard time picking up the heartbeat which was the scariest thing ever, but eventually we got the heartbeat but I had to hold the monitor on myself pressing it into my stomach which was very uncomfortable, but they said not to worry that baby was just laying in a bad position. SO eventually we got enough of a tracing and the baby looked fine. On to the OB appointment, blood pressure still perfect, no progress has been made though. So we pretty much just sit tight. If I go into labor or my water breaks then wonderful, otherwise we go in Thursday for a repeat c-section. We have done everything we possibly could to try to avoid going through major surgery this time, but it's looking like it's not going to happen.

My wonderful doctor has been so supportive and he promises this c-section experience will be different...I hope so. So we are getting last minute stuff taken care of and trying to arrange care for Logan since I will need more help at the hospital from Matt since recovery will be rough again. If I have the c-section I won't be leaving the hospital until next Monday which unfortunately is Logan's birthday so we are trying to get last minute stuff done so we can have a little celebration for him on his real birthday and of course his party the following Saturday, it's going to be tight but we will get it done. So for sure in 3 days we will have our next bundle here with us and everyone will finally know boy or girl!

We Have a C-Section Date

My doctor's office called with my official C-Section date. If I don't go into labor before it will be on Thursday October 8 at 1:30pm. So we have an end in sight one way or another...unfortunately the baby and Logan's birthday's will only be four days apart so we are hoping I don't last that long, but this baby sure is stubborn!

40 Week Update & A Trip To L&D...

Well we watched my due date come and go again and still no baby...bummer. Went to my 40 week OB appointment and when they took my blood pressure it was a bit high and I was spilling protein again, not good for someone that had blood pressure issues in a previous pregnancy. I got checked and I haven't made any progress since last week, so inducing me is out right now, so I was sent over to L&D (Labor and Delivery) to have blood labs drawn and be monitored for blood pressure, baby, and contractions. We were there all day, but the good news is my high blood pressure reading seems to have been a fluke, my pressures (aside from the first one they took in L&D which they don't count cause every women's first one is high because of stress of being there etc.) were textbook, I am having no other symptoms of pre-eclampsia other than the protein in my urine, which the one that is raised is the first one that starts to elevate in later pregnancy and I was told it wasn't a big deal, and lab work came back perfect, baby is moving around perfect with good heart tones, so I was sent on home....eventually. Since my doctor did an internal in the office he also did another sweep, which started up some pretty good contractions, the most labor like ones I have had so far and they were coming pretty darn close together and lasted for 2+ hours, they thought maybe I might have to stay and we were hopeful I was really in labor this time, but alas they spaced out and I was sent home with orders to take it east and come back tomorrow for another blood pressure check.

So back we went today and my blood pressure was perfect once again 120/80 so still we wait for this baby to make an appearance. I go back to the doctor on Monday for a NST (non-stress test) to make sure the baby is doing good still now that I have a post-date pregnancy and an OB visit and they are going to put me on the calender for a c-section after the 41st week if I don't go on my own. So that is all for now, we are hanging in there but I am ready to be done for sure!

39 Week Update!

Had a good appointment this morning! Blood pressure is perfect still, I am a finger tip dilated, 50% effaced, baby's head is engaged, and my doctor did a membrane sweep, or stripping of the membranes (I won't go into the gross details of what that is, but it can bring on labor by doing this). None of this progress was made with Logan's pregnancy so we are very encouraged that this baby will be indeed be a VBAC baby! We go back next week (if we make it that long), pretty sure he will check me again then and since next week is my due date week, if I haven't gone by then we will talk about induction if it will be a possibility ( I would have to be dilated to 2-3) and do a non-stress test on the baby as we move into 41 weeks if needed. My awesome doctor hasn't even mentioned the word c-section in less I bring it up, and hasn't even made me schedule one "just in case" like most doctors will, I am so lucky to have found this doctor, I think it was all meant to be. Since the doctor did the sweep, I have been very crampy, back achy, etc. so maybe something will get started today!

Update on Logan's Therapies

Logan has his school district evaluation last week to see if he would require any further therapy or special needs preschool once his Early Intervention therapy ends at his third birthday, and we are very happy to announce that Logan passed everything and will no longer being receiving any therapy! We are so proud of our little guy, he has come such a long way since he started and to not need any more therapy is just wonderful. His speech will be re-evaluated in 6 months just to make sure he is keeping up, he was borderline at the evaluation, but the speech therapist was the last therapist he met with and he was just kinda over the whole testing day by then, I think if he wasn't getting antsy he would have been on the boarder. They suggested getting him in another day of MDO or another activity with kids his age (which his MDO is 4 hours so that is like two days worth of preschool and he does have Gymboree) so now that he is back in school we think he will really take off language wise. So really we aren't changing anything other than saying goodbye to our three therapist. It will be weird not having his therapy sessions each week, Logan really likes his therapists so it will be sad, but we are very excited that he is all caught up and he will start regular preschool next fall!

38 Week Update!

Nothing much to report. Blood pressure is perfect, still spilling some protein but within normal limits for this stage of pregnancy so no worries there. No progress check this week, our doctor wants to take a hands off as much as possible approach and let things happen naturally so if I don't go into labor by next weeks appointment he will do a progress check since we will have to have a couple plans of action in place at that point, but otherwise we are just waiting for things to get started. Lot's of pre-labor symptoms going on along with contractions, but nothing regular or intensifying so we just wait now. Tick tock....

Logan's First Day Back To "School"

Logan went back to his Mother's Day Out program at one of our local churches this past Friday and boy was he excited to be back at "school". He was ready and raring to go in the morning got dressed, put on his shoes and got his backpack and lunch bag and was practically running out the door to get there. When we arrived he was Mr. Sunshine and saying "Hi!" to everyone he came across. Once we got into his room he took off to go play before I could even get his backpack or lunch bag away from him. I took care of some paper work and he was off playing like no time had gone by (whew!). His favorite teacher that use to take care of him last year and give him cuddles when he still cried at drop off time, came over and he gave her a big long hug, it was so sweet. Of course Mommy had to beg for a hug before I left...my how they grow up over a few months. He was a little upset when I got there to pick him up, it was the first time he stayed for the entire program length (and without a binky), last year I picked him up before story time which is recommended for the older kids, so it was his first time and he didn't want to sit for story time (they clean up and then have to sit for story time-no playing which is hard for a almost 3 year old) and he saw a Mom on the video monitor that was dressed similar to me and he thought it was me coming to get him so he got a little upset, but other than that his teachers said he had a great day. He ate most of his lunch and I am sure he ate all his cookies and snack time and he painted a picture which he showed me as soon as I walked in the door. Hopefully in the next weeks he will get use to story time and learn that routine. He keeps talking about going to school everyday so we know he had fun and is excited to go back this week!

First Day Of School!

When Your Child Is Playing Nicely Always Check On Them...

Because they might have found something very fun to do that
will require a lot of clean up...

37 Week Update

We had our 37 week OB and ultrasound yesterday and we are very happy to report that baby is head down and ready for business! We are so happy that we don't have to make the decision between a version and a repeat c-section now. Baby's weight estimate was 7lbs 3 oz which is a little scary since Logan was 7lbs 6oz at 40 weeks, but ultrasound weight estimates are not that accurate and can be off up to a pound or more so we are taking that with a grain of salt. Otherwise baby measured perfectly. My blood pressure is still perfect 120/80 (with Logan at 37 weeks in was in the 140's so doing much better this time) and it looks like we might get to skip the whole high blood pressure racket this time...thank God! I am having a lot of contractions but they don't stay regular or last too long and they haven't dilated me any so far. So now we are in for the long hall. As long as both me and baby are doing good I can go up to two weeks past my due date, our goal is to let my body go into labor on it's own and show up to the hospital in active labor or with broken water. My doctor is so wonderful and he knows c-section is the very last resort and he is willing to really work with me, so we feel very good and not pressured at all. That is about it for now, I go to the doctor weekly now until I deliver....which could be any day now!

Logan's 1st ER Trip

Well we had an eventful Labor Day weekend, and unfortunately it doesn't include me going into labor. Logan had his first ER trip and first stitches, six to be exact. Logan was outside playing and Daisy, Grandma's dog and Logan buddy was outside also. Logan was playing hopscotch on the drive way and from what I saw, looks like he tripped and fell on top of Daisy and she just swung around and snapped a couple times at him and happen to get him. The bite is on his upper lip both outside and in and then he got a some scratches up by his eye as well. Once I got him cleaned up (and myself, mouth injuries bleed A LOT!) and saw what was going on we were headed to the hospital. Luckily I called Matt right after it happened and told him to high tale it home from work because I knew he was going to need stitches and there was no way 9 month pregnant me was going to be able to get Logan through it alone. So just as Matt got home I was finished grabbing stuff and washing us up and off we went. We got right in at the ER and overall weren't their too long by ER standards. Logan was very upset anytime the bite was touched or looked at, but while we were waiting for the topical numbing stuff to take hold he did fall asleep for maybe an hour, unfortunately he was woken up when the doctor came in to stitch him up. That's when the fun really began. They put him in this contraction that made him look like a mummy so he couldn't move around, Matt and I still had to hold his hands down and then a nurse had to keep his head still and the doctor covered his face up. All of this equals one p-offed 2 year old. I have never heard cry so much or so hard and he kept crying for us to help him and that he was stuck. It was heartbreaking. But our little guy was a trooper, once he was stitched up be got his discharge papers and an script for antibiotics (and Elmo stickers and a stuffed dragon from the nurses) and we were on our way. Of course all the stress, noise, etc of the experience was making me have some pretty painful contractions, but once we got home they settled down thankfully, as much as I am ready to have this baby, I wasn't in the mood for it yesterday. Logan is doing good today, he is much more swollen, but otherwise acting pretty normal. He is on a soft diet for a couple of days and antibiotic's for a week and we just have to watch for infection since dog bites become easily infected even when kept as clean as possible. We have ointment to put on the wound twice a day as well and he will have the outer stitches removed Friday or Saturday by his doctor and the inner ones are the dissolving kind so we don't have to worry about those. Matt and I can check this experience off of our parenting list now and hopefully the next time we head to the hospital it will be for this baby!

Some pictures from after we got home from the hospital

A Visit From The Binky Fairy

Last Saturday, the "Binky Fairy" made a stop at our house and took Logan's binkies/plugs/pacies/*insert cutsie name here* away for good. We've been weening him off of them for a while, throwing them away when they get nasty and encouraging him to take it out or taking it away during the day, but we finally came to the point when we needed to take them away completely. We also wanted to give him at least a month or so before the new baby's here so that hopefully he won't be feeling dependent on the plug if the baby takes one.

So Saturday morning, before Gymboree, the plugs were rounded up and stuck into a large envelope addressed to the Binky Fairy. He and Brandi put the envelope into the mail slot, and then he and I left for Gymboree. Brandi threw out the plugs and then went to pick out and wrap a new toy for him. Apparently, the Binky Fairy operates much like the Tooth Fairy. They're probably related, as there's a lot of that kind of interbreeding stuff going on in the Fairy community, or so I've heard.

Logan did pretty well for a while, but about halfway through Gymboree we had a major meltdown and he wanted to go home. Not even the temptation of getting fries after Gymboree if we stayed for the whole thing would assuage his meltdown. On the way home he repeatedly asked for his Binky, wailing "Binkyyyyy," and when I told him the Binky Fairy had come to take them away he screamed "Noooo!" He was sure to go through the list in the car too, "White Binky...Blue Binky...Nemo Binky."

When we got home and he saw and opened the toy, a sweet Imaginex Helicopter, he was less whiny. It didn't hurt that Brandi got a couple suckers to go with it too. Cool Transformers G1 type suckers. I was a little jealous.

The rest of the weekend went pretty smoothly as far as tantrums and binky-based meltdowns went. Monday morning we experienced meltdown number 2. His therapist was over, and while Logan was climbing into one of his favorite hiding places, he very lightly bonked the back of his head. Oh man, did that set off the waterworks. He didn't want to cooperate with the therapist for the rest of the session.

Later, we went to the store, and while he and I waited in the car because he'd been crying in the store, he continued to cry and it drove me a little nuts. What are you going to do though?

There's still one plug that we couldn't find in the house to ship away to the Binky Fairy and while we think it's stuck behind the bed somewhere, we're waiting for Logan to come walking through the living room with it one day with a smug grin on his face.
Binky's all ready to go off to the Binky Fairy

The Binky Fairy of course left something behind for Logan for being such a big boy and giving up his binks

34 Week OB Appointment

Not to much to report this week. Blood pressure is awesome still at 116/74 so pre-e is not a concern, proteins were good as well. Baby's measuring 35 weeks (which I will be on Wednesday) so growth is good. I was having a huge and painful contraction as I was laying down on the table so the doctor got a pretty good feel for the baby and he said based on feeling he would say head down, and then he found the heartbeat below the belly button much lower than two weeks ago so that is encouraging that those two signs are pointing to head down, we will still have an ultrasound at the next appointment (which because of labor day won't be until I am 37 weeks). If baby is breech we will make decisions about attempting external version or repeat c-section but we are leaning towards the version at this point. Since he prefers to do external versions during week 36 we will have to make that decision and probably have the version done if needed within a day or two of our next appointment since I will 37 weeks by then (as baby gets bigger it's harder to turn). After the next appointment I will go down to weekly visits until delivery day. That is all for now!

On The Go!

After getting this tricycle this past Easter Logan has shown little interest in it, until now that is. Whenever Logan is at the park there is usually other kids there and they often show up on their tricycles so Logan finally put two and two together and the last couple of park trips he has pedaled his trike to the park (with some help from Daddy). He puts his drink in the trunk and and away he goes!




Big Brother Love

Logan had his sibling class at the hospital this weekend. We got to see the new patient tower which was really nice and they took the kids to see the babies. The look on Logan's face when they held up the newborn was priceless. The kids also got to see one of the rooms where their Mommies will be staying, Logan was a little timid in the room, he didn't want to explore it like the other kids, but at least he has had exposure to the areas that he will be visiting when the baby comes. Logan got his official Big Brother Diploma as well, we are going frame it and put it up in his room for him.

Logan loves giving kisses to the baby!

Day Out With Thomas The Train!

This past weekend we took Logan to Day Out With Thomas at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union IL. We went last year as well, but Logan seemed to have a lot more fun this year and wasn't as scared of taking the train ride as last year. Logan had fun seeing all the trains and kept asking to ride on Thomas, he only got a little upset when we actually got on the train but he was much better than last year and enjoyed the ride for the most part. Since he is a big almost 3 year old now, he was able to go into the bounce houses they have set up which he loved and he also rode on the little push trains they have set up with a little help from Daddy. Logan loved watching the little Thomas the Train the model railroad had running and he had fun playing at the train tables they had set up as well. Logan got two tattoos as well (one of Percy and one of Rosie) on each arm. They also have a little mini golf course set up so Logan got to play mini golf for the first time, and he was actually pretty darn good at it, we attribute that to all the Wii Golfing he does...Of course the best part is getting to watch Thomas run through the park area, it is amazing how much kids love Thomas. We had a wonderful day together and here are some pictures from all the fun!

32 Week Check-Up

We had our 32 week check up this morning, for the most part everything is ok, but wasn't the greatest check up we've had. First off by feeling the outside of my stomach the doctor said baby seems to be head down still, but after finding the heartbeat above my belly button, doctor thinks baby may have flipped back to breech. So that is not great news, I will have another ultrasound at 36 weeks to confirm position and if baby is still breech we will talk about doing an external aversion, which we are still undecided about we have to do some more research and talk to the doctor more in depth about it because there is a slight risk of having to deliver if something goes wrong while they are doing it. If baby is indeed breech and we pass on the aversion or it doesn't work we will schedule a repeat c-section for 39 weeks, but as always this is our very, very last resort. We also found out that I am starting to spill protein in my urine (one of the signs of pre-e which I had with Logan) however it was just a little and my blood pressure is still perfect (whoo hoo!) so doctor said not to worry and that the chances of having pre-e with subsequent pregnancies is low. My blood pressure with Logan started to go up at 36 weeks though, but I didn't start spilling protein until they checked it when I was in labor, so I seem to be doing the opposite of last time. So really we just wait now, I have another appointment at 34 weeks which is two weeks from now and then at my 36 week appointment we will do the ultrasound and my last prenatal test which is the group B strep test and start weekly cervical checks and ob appointments and then we can make some decisions on delivery once we know position, although our ultimate goal is still the VBAC. We will just keep an eye on my blood pressure and protein and pray it doesn't develop into pre-e again and I can avoid the mag that I had to be on last time which made me feel like death.

Summer's Last Hurrah!

Last week we went up to Lake Geneva to go to Timber Ridge Resort and Water park with my family. We have been wanting to take Logan to a water park hotel, and thought it would be something fun to do with him before the baby comes next month so we were excited to be able to go up and Logan loved having his Grandma and Grandpa and uncles and aunt there as well. We had a fun day, Logan took to the water right away and the water slides. It was so cute to see him trying to "swim" in the water. Matt of course got to enjoy all the water park had to offer, and for me it was kiddie play area and the lazy river, but it was still fun. We had a nice suite were we could relax and fix food and Logan got to watch some movies and play there as well. It was a nice way to end the summer for us, we won't be doing any more traveling for the summer since I am getting increasingly big and uncomfortable and it was probably our last get away as a family of 3 which seems weird to say. Here are some pictures from our day!

Just Because...

It's so darn cute!
Father like Son for sure!
