The best THREE years..

I can't believe in just a few months I will have a 3 year old on my hands!

I'm sad, confused where the time has gone, and proud all at the same time.

I've had the best 3 years of my life, so much joy watching my baby grow into an amazing little boy.

He's a kind soul, but wont share his cars!

He's helpful

Hilarious! 

Hyper at times

Attitude like a teenager

Best big brother

A professional on the hand phone

Crazy driver

This year we have planned his birthday at a trampoline park!

He has gone once and had so much fun!

He slept so well that night!

Mason is 3ft 6 and weighs 37lbs.

He has always been tall for his age.

Here are some pictures of my beautiful boy.

Now excuse me while I try not to cry and hug the crap out of my little guy, and try to talk him out of growing up.

Blessed indeed

Officially a mother of TWO!

So where I left off I was only 21 weeks.

From there I carried up to 36+6

Here are my pictures leading up to the big day.

This is the day I went to the hospital.

For the two weeks I was doing NST for low fluids.

My whole pregnancy went amazing.

No complications what so ever.

I had bad sciatic and SPD

(Symphysis pubis dysfunction)

So back on track...

I went to my second week of NST and came home trying to finish up babies laundry.

While I went to sit down I felt a big gush.

I waited a few minutes and felt another.

I went to the bathroom and put a panty liner on.

I called L&D and talked to one of the nurses, I let her know what happened and she was almost positive it was my water that had broken.

I was filling my panty liners up also.

She informed to take my time & not rush in because labor can take a while to start.

So I finished up what little laundry I had left, & made sure my bags were ready.

I showered and tried to eat dinner, but I was to anxious and excited.

I kissed Mason goodbye and tried to keep back the tears.

I was sure that I wouldn't see him for a while and our lives would be changed.

He would no longer be my only baby.

He was officially going to be a big brother.

We made it down to the hospital in pretty good time.

I checked in and wait almost 20 minutes just to be seen by a doctor.

This doctor that came in left quicker then she was in.

She checked to see if I had a pool of fluid, but because I did not she sent me home.

I saw her for 5 minutes max.

I told her with my first I had broken my water from the top and it slowly dripped.

I also let her know that I had already had low fluids.

She did no test; nothing .

Exact reason why I can't stand doctors.

She did not take my word.

I was sent home.

Fast forward to a week.

I went back to my NST, and guess what!

My fluids had became dangerously low.

They told me I needed to get to the hospital right away go straight home grab my bags and go in.

I would be induced that night.

So we went home grabbed my bags made sure baby's car seat was still in position in the car.

Said goodbye to Mason once again, and we were off.

On our way down I emailed my Placenta specialist to make sure she knew it was time.

We made it back to L&D,I went in the evening of May 23rd.

 This time I got a different doctor.

I explained what happened and she went over my charts.

I told her a week before I was almost positive that my water broke.

I explained what happened, she checked for a pool of fluid and decided to do a amniotic fluid leak test.

It came back positive.

I was then admitted into a room.

The doctor said that my water had been broken for a week.

I was given a pill called cervidil that would dissolve in my cheeks.

It was to help thin out my cervix it worked! 

I took 3 doses.

I walked around and showered while in labor.

Contractions were very tolerable.

I went all natural.

Once baby was coming I knew right away because that's when the pain came.

I had the urge to push so I called the nurse in, I was just checked 30 minutes before and was only at a 6.

So she did not expect me to be ready to push, she called the midwife in to check and I was at a 10 and baby's head was right there.

They prepared as quick as they could.

I pushed 4 times and she was out!

It was quick and amazing!

Maila was born May 25 at 2:03 AM 

Weighing 6lbs 9oz.

Right after birth I was up walking around, I even told my husband lets do this again!

It was so empowering! 

That morning she had to have test done because she was early and was in my broken bag for a week.

It took almost a week to find out what was wrong from all the test.

She was in the NICU.

Hardest thing I have ever gone threw.

Thanks to a lazy doctor my daughter had a bacteria in her blood.

I'm thankful she is now healthy and happy.

Once she finished her rounds of medications she was great.

A week felt like a lifetime.

We visited her everyday and spent the night a few times.

Sleeping on a recliner chair while my husband slept on the floor.

Here she is with her grandma.

My poor girl went threw hell that first week.

Constantly getting blood drawn IV's

They attempted to do a picc Line but failed.

She also had Jaundice, I call it the tanning bed.

I was so happy when we were able to finally bring her home!

Pure bliss.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

And thank you for taking the time to read threw my experiences.

This is my tribe.

Who knew going from a mother of one to a mother of two would be so amazing.

I watch over my children with so much love and pride.

I made two beautiful, amazing children that bring so much joy to me.

It was a lot easier adding her to our family then I expected.

She is the perfect baby.

I can't wait to add more children to our tribe.

Pure perfection.

21 week update!

Hi guys!

So I know I say this like every post but here's my update post on what's going on with us.

I'm currently 21 weeks with little miss Madilyn!

At 19 weeks we had our 4d ultrasound done.

It was an amazing experience and really considering going back in my third trimester.

Here are a few photos of her.

I have a little over 100 4d photos but only posting a few photos.

She is so stubborn! We originally went in at 17 weeks but she would not budge! She had her back to us while laying on her placenta.

So we returned at 19 weeks and got her to move finally!

 

This pregnancy it completely different from with my son Mason.

She is always active.

She moves all day and night.

I'm not as tired as I was with my son.

With Mason I had bad leg cramps in my calves, this time I now just have bad sciatic nerve pains.

It's caused my right foot to swell.

I'm now waiting to make an appointment with physical therapy.

Besides that I've started doing yoga again and it's helped so much!

 

 

 

So here are a few pictures of the bump.

 

My uterus is growing much faster then it was with Mason which has caused me to show much more

earlier.

For cravings my #1 craving is limes!

I don't know why but I love eating limes this pregnancy!

 

So recently I bought a chalk board and started writing down my pregnancy progression.

This is the last week I've done.

I will be making another one for week 25.

I bought a cheap chalk board and I'm not really happy with the quality of it.

So I will be buying a new chalk board very soon, I will be checking staples if nothing I will just buy one online.

 

Now that we know the gender we have been shopping non-stop!

I'm so happy to finally have a little girl!

Here are a few things I've bought.

Nothing compared to what I really have! I have a giant bin full of clothes and blankets from shopping.

 

I can't stop shopping!

I think instead of a baby shower we will be doing a sprinkle shower.

Instead of asking for lots of things, we will put our registries with only little things if people want to get gifts.

We have a full registry but we will buy all the big things on our own.

We love to have family parties so this will just be an awesome reason to get our families together and celebrate our princess!

 

That's about it for now!

Here's the awesome big brother!!

Bye!!

 

 



We found out what we are having!

 

We are beyond excited!

And already have her name picked out.

I can finally finish my registries!!

I've already started shopping and I bought an adorable outfit when I first found out!

So happy I don't have to return it! 

Our events.

It's been a while , so I thought I may have been a good time to come and update.

Post a few pics and what not.

This year we celebrated Mason's birthday early.

He had a big party with lots of family and friends.

He received so many amazing gifts! 

We are so thankful to have such amazing people in our lives.

Allen was so excited when he got his Navy beanie.

We were going to do pay 200 for Mason's birthday cake it was going to be huge and amazing!

But we ended up canceling the order and went with a smaller cake.

I'm actually kind of glad we did because we ended up using the extra cash for more presents.

This year we are getting Mason his first real christmas tree!

We are waiting for around the 15th to get one .

It's our family tradition to go around that time.

This is our last year in this apartment then we will be most likely buying our very first house!

I'm due June 14 when our lease is up in June so hopefully this baby does not come in the middle of the move!

Speaking of baby I'm officially in my second Trimester!

Baby peach is doing good!

I felt little movements the past two nights which was truly amazing.

I had bleeding for a week last month and it got so bad we ended up having to go to the ER.

The doctor could not find baby .

So I was sent down to a specialist who was able to find our blessing!

Baby was moving and heart was beating!

I almost cried from how happy I was to know baby was ok.

 I was trying my hardest not to break down when the doctor said she could not find baby.

Allen whispered in my ear that he was sorry.

I told him don't be .

I hid my fears well then.

But thankfully for the second opinion.

Doctor said it was a threatened miscarriage and that it was a 50/50 chance of baby miscarrying.

So far we are doing amazing and no more bleeding!

We have officially agreed on babies name.

I planned to not announce babies name until after birth but who knows.

I suck at keeping surprises lol.

All I have to say it's an out there name that you don't really hear .

But it has so much meaning to it.

Our next appointment is next week! 

 I can't wait to go see how this little one is doing.

 Then Jan 3rd we are find out the sex! 

I'm so excited to find out what we are having!! 

Crossing our fingers for a little girl!
