on other news...

I feel like shit because because BB gave me his cold and yesterday I took an accounting exam. Why in anyone's right mind would they think it's a good idea to make an exam worth 300 points?! I get to have three of those 'test traps' and only hope that I did somewhat OK.

It's going on 6 am and I've been up since 4. It's strange how when you know you can get a full night's rest that's when the middle of the night routine comes into play. Little man looked so freakin' adorable this morning wide awake. He's slowly starting to wake up and stay awake, Mr. Shifty Eyes.

One more thing before I venture off to other parts of the internet. Last night before I crashed out at midnight, there was an article about twins being born with two separate fathers. It's so insane because at the end of last year there was a woman who had a set of twins because she had two... count em', not one but two uterus's! She had no idea until she had them by C-section. I don't know if it's all the fertility drugs or there just happen to be some creepy people out there. But all I have to say is that I'm glad I have one baby with one baby daddy and one uterus. Puts my mind at ease a little bit. I would say that it helps me sleep better at night, then again I've been up since 4 am. I'm pretty sure I'm going to crash in the next few hours.

On a small mental note, BB is in bed with husband and he was snuggled up against his back. It was the most wonderful thing, there's nothing in the world like it. I know I sound cliche, but you never know how much you can love another human being until you help make it. I'm so lucky... lucky to have my number Seven.

tired eyes and long nights

it's going on 11:30 and BB has his first cold. poor little guy is so miserable.

i'm drained from last night and this morning. sigh... the things people don't tell you about motherhood. meh, it's all for a good cause.

in other news, lets hope i pass accounting... woop woop!

quick question...?

Why would you talk about Kegel exercises out loud in a public computer lab? Sometimes there's a fine line between what I want to know about your vagina and what you feel everyone wants to know... about your vagina. I think I would have been OK, had I not known how 'well' you think they work. I also have a pretty good incling everyone in this room is thinking the same thing.

just saying...

will work for sleep

my poor little person has constipation and is basically irritable and refusing to sleep unless he's being held. so needless to say it was a fight from 1:30am to about 5am to get him to go to sleep for more than 30-45 minutes. the most sleep i got was when i propped myself up in bed and he slept on my chest. i feel so bad for him. :(

It is now 1pm, baby's asleep and I'm trying to choke down some pesto pasta that is a day or so old. another thing they don't tell you about motherhood, unless the child is ok with you eating. you don't eat. saturday I tried to eat for a few hours and I'll be damned if that little sucker wouldn't start crying everytime I sat down.

I'm soooo~ooooo sleepy...

and i'm back...

Due my newly wed life and being pregnant I have been rudely absent for what seems like forever. But in my defense, growing a child in your belly is very tiring... ok really my pregnancy wasn't as bad as many make it out to be. Never-the-less, I found out I was expecting at the beginning of September '08, and ever since then it's been a ride to say the least. I was able to escape the morning sickness and the mood swings weren't all that bad either. They were pleasant enough that my husband had actually asked me when they were supposed to start kicking in. I was however livid for the first 3 months which transitioned to weepy for about 2 weeks and then I plataeud off and was good ever since. It took me to about 5 1/2 months to start showing and I all but exploded around month 7. Then the leg cramps kicked in and I lost my torso. I am still taking classes at the Univeristy and I was devastated to see that for Spring Quarter I couldn't fit in to the desks, so it was a good thing that all of my classes this quarter are in big lecture halls and I had to make due with taking tests and writing notes on my lap. Only a small bit inconvenient, but I was able to overcome! My prenatal appointments were every week during the last month and at my last appointment I learned that I was 1 cm dilated, but I still had about 2 weeks to go. Well, that is until the baby decided he wanted to to come early.

Long story short, I gave birth April 26 to a little boy. He weighted 7lbs 3 oz, and came out at 7:42 pm. We have decided to name him Seven Allen Foster. The name we already had picked out, my husband got dibs if the baby were a boy and I got dibs if the baby were a girl. There was a lot of controversy surrounding the name because only a hand full of people actually liked the boy's name, but it worked out. He's our lucky baby boy and I'm so glad that he came early because I was so ready to have my mid-section un-housed by a little person. He was 38 1/2 weeks gestated and healthy as can be.

It's been a crazy 2 weeks trying to become adjusted to my new baby, but I think we'll keep him... for now.
