Lots of News!

Kailey's birthday is on Sunday and she'll be 4!! Incredible, I just can't believe it. I think we're going to take her to Jeepers next weekend. Ashlyn is on day 3 of not having her binky. She's doing great going to sleep at night, but not very well during the day. She hasn't napped at all. After a year of debating with myself about becoming a vegetarian, I'm going to do it! But first I need to go to Red Lobster! lol Baby Dylan is doing great, but I feel like I'm gaining too much weight too fast, so I need to figure out how to curve that. I have everything I need for our homebirth, the last package arrived yesterday! I'm very excited and comfortable with the decision.

My 1st Midwife Appointment

We had our first appointment yesterday. It was awesome! Kate is great. Baby's heartbeat was in the 150's. He is breech and small still. His head is just under my right rib. She changed my due date back to Sept. 27th. We got our birth kit list and I ordered a different birthing pool and some other things we'll need. I also have everything on the list together and in a storage container. I just need to place an order for some other things that I'd like to have. I am so excited and I have no worries at all. I talked to Jesse and told him we should have his mom here to help out with the kids...since I want them here. I know we can depend on her, unlike my mom, and she will help with no back talk...etc. Ayden and Kailey got to hear Dylan's heartbeat for the first time, Ayden loves it. Kailey thought it was cool too.

Have an appointment with Kate!!

Saturday is our first appointment with Kate! So I called Dr Bart's office and the receptionist gave me some grief. I told her that I had decided to have a homebirth and that I wanted to let Dr Bart know in person. I have a lot of respect for him and would like to see him after baby is born for paps. Well she told me I couldn't get in to see if any sooner than July 3rd, the date of my appointment. I asked her about my records and she said I could do it that day. Well, I would like to have them by Saturday if possible. So because of all this, I really just want to get my records and not say anything to Dr. Bart.

Homebirth

I'm having a homebirth!! Jesse and I met with Kate yesterday and she's great! Jesse likes her and I love her personality. She is very open to us having an unassisted homebirth, but her being there if anything goes nuts and loves the idea of Jesse catching Dylan. I'm so excited! I've already bought a birth pool. lol I just need to meet with Dr. Bart and let him know what we're doing.

Ob Appt Yesterday

I met with Dr. Bart yesterday. I'm measuring 27w, but that's because Dylan was breech. My weight is 154 and his heart rate was 145. Everything is great.

A Whole New Day

I had an interveiw we a midwife this morning and she is great. But she'll be out of town over my edd so Stacia from Trillum would deliver me. So I'm just wondering if it would just be better to use Stacia. I'm so excited that this is a real possibility now.

Emotional Breakdown

Oh boy. I was watching Birth Day, House of Babies, Run Way Moms and they were having homebirths, or births at birthing centers, and I really do want a waterbirth at the hospital (chance of that is so small) or a homebirth. I decided against the homebirth because I really didn't think I was going to still be pregnant now. And I'm really kicking myself because I do want one. Jesse isn't comfortable with it because of my low lying placenta and he's more comfortable at the hospital. But I really want a homebirth! I have an ob appt tonight and Jesse told me to talk to Dr Bart about it, but he's against homebirths, so that does no good.

So much...

This weekend Jesse and I took the kids to the zoo. We had fun although we weren't there for long. My aunt and uncle were taking the kids overnight so we could go out to dinner and Jesse could go to his Ron Paul meeting. We had this fabulous dinner at Miyako Japanese Steakhouse. The cooked the food right at the table, it was so yummy! We can't wait to go back! Sunday Jesse went to the Ron Paul thing and I heading to IKEA for an end table. I took mine into the baby's room, so I needed another one. Then I went baby clothes shopping at Once Upon A Child. Got this really cut Gap outfit. When we got home, I went out a bought a pool with a filter for all of us. I haven't been in it yet, needs to be warmer out. Yesterday was Ashlyn's 2nd birthday! I can't believe she's 2, feels like yesterday I had her. She got a bike, 2 outfits, sandals, a cabbage patch doll and an electronical book of farm animals. She's been playing with Alyssa's for months now. I also bought a Morning Glory Beco, it's so beautiful! It will be here tomorrow. Oh and my camera is here! I'm just waiting on the flash card!

Monday!!

Not only is it my baby girls birthday, but my camara will be here!

Hyena Cart

I just start my own hyenacart for resaling the kids things, and other odds and ends. I'm very excited about it and I think it's much easier than diaperswappers or ebay. I can't stand ebay, I made enough money, but with the fees, it wasn't as good as it should have been. I don't even know how much money they took.

CANON REBEL!!!!

I just ordered it! I can't wait to get it, I'm so freaking excited!!!!!!!!!!! It should be here Wednesdayish. YAY!!!!

It's been a rough week!

I feel like Ayden and Kailey are out to get me! We went to McDonalds for lunch yesterday. The kids wanted to go there. So I get them what they want and we come home and they don't want that. They want something else. Oh I was furious! So they didn't eat lunch, I put it in the fridge and they ate it for dinner. Gross, I know, but I can't keep making a thousand mini meals a day. This nonsense is driving me up a wall! So today I made mac/cheese and hot dogs. Kailey doesn't want mac and cheese and Ayden didn't eat most of his either. So all I've been hearing is that he's hungry. On a good note I'm selling all my Quickutz in order to get a new Rebel or D50. They all end today and I don't think I'm going to make much money. I have almost 1000.00 in QK stuff and I don't think I'm going to make a quarter of that. :( I've also sold a lot of stuff on Diaperswappers and bought more diapers too! I'm just waiting for them to get here!

So Much Fun Stuff!

Yesterday I registered Kailey for dance again next year. She's so excited! She'll be taking tap and ballet on Friday evenings. The classes start on Sept 10th! I've been completely addicted to Diaperswappers.com and have sold, traded, and purchase tons of stuff for cheap! Love it! The baby's room is done for the most part, just needs an interior door. We put up the crib and the closet door the other night. It looks so cute in there! I need to take pictures. Speaking of pictures, I'll be getting a Nikon D50 (or D80 if Jesse is feeling frisky! lol), I can't wait to have a good camera to work with. I would love to take professional like photos.
