BABY PEYTEN'S ARRIVAL!!!!!!!!!!

*PROCEED WITH CAUTION! THIS POSTING CONTAINS VIVID DETAIL OF MY CHILDBIRTH EXPERIENCE. MAY NOT BE SUITABLE READING MATERIAL FOR THOSE OF YOU W/O KIDS J*


SO AS YOU ALL KNOW BABY PEYTEN WAS BORN FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2008 AT 8:26 PM. SHE WEIGHED IN AT 6 POUNDS 9 OUNCES. SHE HAS LIGHT SKIN WITH LIGHT BROWN HAIR. SHE IS A PEANUT COMPARED TO GRIFFIN WHO WEIGHED IN AT 8.9!! EVERYONE IS ADJUSTING PRETTY GOOD TO THE NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY. GRIFFIN LOVES HER AND ALWAYS WANTS TO KISS HER AND BE AROUND HER AND SAME WITH THE DOG. GRIFFIN HAS BEEN SUCH A GOOD BIG BROTHER TO HER, HE HAS REALLY AMAZED ME. BELOW IS THE TRUE STORY, THE ARIELE TRUE STORY OF HER BIRTH! ENJOY…………….

SO ON THURSDAY I WENT TO MY DOCTOR FOR MY APPOINTMENT AS I WAS ALREADY 4 DAYS LATE. THE WEEK BEFORE THEY SAID THAT IF I HADN’T GIVEN BIRTH YET THEY WOULD INDUCE ME ON FRIDAY AM. WELL, ON THURSDAY THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE GOING TO TRY AND GET ME IN TO THE HOSPITAL THAT NIGHT RATHER THAN FRIDAY B/C THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR ME FRIDAY MORNING………..

WELL, THURSDAY NIGHT CAME AND SURE ENOUGH THEY HAD NO ROOM TO INDUCE ME SO THEY SAID CALL US TOMORROW MORNING AND WE WILL TRY AND GET YOU IN THEN. OKAY, WHATEVER. SO I CALLED FRIDAY MORNING AND SURE ENOUGH THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE NO ROOM FOR AN INDUCTION ON FRIDAY AND THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING TO COME IN TO BE INDUCED……….

GREAT, SO NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT I HAVE TO KEEP ON WAITING. I LOVE IT HOW A DOCTOR CAN TELL YOU ONE THING ONE WEEK AND THEN WHEN IT COMES TIME TO DELIVER THEY GO BACK ON THEIR WORD- NICE!!!!!

SO HERE IT IS FRIDAY MORNING AND WE ARE ALL PISSED! IT IS COLD AND SNOWING AND STILL NO BABY PEYTEN. AROUND 9 AMISH I START TO FEEL SOME CRAMPING AND REALIZE I AM HAVING CONTRACTIONS. MY CONTRACTIONS WERE ABOUT 15-18 MINUTES APART AND WEREN’T VERY PAINFUL. I MEAN I WAS ABLE TO WATCH ONE TREE HILL WHILE HAVING CONTRACTIONS AND I SEEMED FINE. I CALLED THE DOCTOR TO TELL THEM I WAS HAVING CONTRACTIONS BUT THESE “MEDICAL EXPERTS” TOLD ME THAT MOST LIKELY SHE STILL WOULDN’T ARRIVE UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING SINCE THEY WERE 15-18 MINUTES APART. HER ADVICE TO ME WAS TO HAVE SOME SEX. YEAH OKAY, I AM ONE WEEK OVERDUE AND MY DOCTOR IS TELLING ME TO GO GET IN ON IN THE BEDROOM WHILE I AM HAVING CONTRACTIONS, I DON’T THINK SO!!!!! SHE SAID THAT MAY HELP SPEED UP THE PROCESS. SERIOUSLY, THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE HAD KIDS UNDERSTAND THAT SEX IS THE LAST THING ON YOUR MIND WHEN YOU ARE CONTRACTING AND YOU JUST WANT TO GET THAT KID OUT. OH YEAH, DID I MENTION THAT DOCTOR OZZIE BIANCARDI WAS HERE AS WELL AND HE WAS TELLING ME THAT MY CONTRACTIONS WERE GOING TO LAST FOR A WEEK J MEN!!!!!!!

SO ALL DAY LONG I AM HAVING THESE 15 MINUTE CONTRACTIONS. SO AROUND 4:30 MY DOCTOR CALLS ME TO LET ME KNOW THERE IS NO WAY POSSIBLE THEY CAN FIT ME IN UNTIL SATURDAY. SO I HAVE TO WAIT IT OUT. GREAT. AT THIS POINT MY CONTRACTIONS WERE STILL AT 15 SO MY MOM AND JASON DECIDE TO GO TO THE MARKET TO GO GET SOME EGGS TO MAKE FOR DINNER. I MEAN WHAT SOUNDS BETTER THAN EGGS AND POTATOES WHILE YOU ARE HAVING CONTRACTIONS, RIGHT. I’M A BIANCARDI, FOODIS ALWAYS ON MY MIND! SO THEY LEAVE ME, GRIFFIN AND DR. OZZIE BIANCARDI AT HOME WHILE THEY ESCAPE TO THE MARKET.

WHILE THEY ARE GONE MY CONTRACTIONS GO FROM 15 TO 12 TO 11 TO 9 MINUTES APART, ALL WHILE THEY ARE GONE TO THE MARKET TO BUY EGGS.

OH AND DID I MENTION THAT THE MARKET IS LIKE 5 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE BUT IT TOOK THEM LIKE OVER 30 MINUTES TO GO TO THE MARKET. I THINK THEY JUST WANTED TO ESCAPE THIS JAIL CELL FROM ME AND MY DAD.

SO ANYWAY, MY CONTRACTIONS SKIPPED TO 9 WHILE THEY WERE AWAY AT THE MARKET AND NOW DR. BIANCARDI LETS ME KNOW THAT HE THINKS THE BABY IS NOW GOING TO ARRIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT VS. SOME TIME NEXT WEEK. SO THEY GET BACK AND WE CALL THE DR. AND THEY SAY I NEED TO WAIT UNTIL MY CONTRACTIONS ARE 5 MINUTES APART BEFORE I COME TO THE HOSPITAL. SO HERE I AM 9 MINUTES APART AND IN EXTREME PAIN AND THEY TELL ME NOT TO COME TO THE HOSPITAL. SO I AM SITTING IN A WARM BATH WITH CONTRACTIONS THINKING SOON ENOUGH I WILL GET MY EPIDURAL AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THIS LABOR AND DELIVERY WOULD BE QUITE DIFFERENT THAN GRIFFIN’S. SO ANYWAY MY CONTRACTIONS SKIP TO 7 AND JASON CALLS AGAIN TO LET THEM KNOW AND THEY SAY THE SAME THING, DON’T LEAVE UNTIL THEY ARE AT 5. AND I MAKE HIM CALL THEM BACK TO TELL THEM I WANT AN EPIDURAL AND TO MAKE SURE THERE WILL BE ENOUGH TIME TO GET ME MY DRUGS AND THEY ASSURE US THAT WE WILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME FOR ALL THAT.

SO FINALLY MY CONTRACTIONS REACH 5 MINUTES APART AND ME, JASON AND MY MOM HEAD ON OUT TO THE HOSPITAL. MY DAD STAYED HERE TO BABYSIT GRIFFIN. COULD YOU IMAGINE MY DAD IN THE DELIVERY ROOM!!! THAT WOULD MAKE FOR SOME GREAT REALITY TV! SO WE ARE ON OUR WAY THERE AND I KEEP THINKING TO MYSELF SOON ENOUGH NO MORE PAIN ONCE I GET MY DRUGS!

SO WE ARRIVE AT THE HOSPITAL AND I AM HAVING CONTRACTIONS LIKE EVERY 3 MINUTES SO THEY CALMLY TAKE ME TO MY ROOM AND TELL ME TO GET UNDRESSED AND BREATHE THROUGH MY CURRENT CONTRACTIONS THAT ARE COMING ON STRONG LIKE A BITCH. AND I SAY I AM READY FOR MY EPIDURAL. SO THE DOCTOR COMES IN WHILE I AM IN EXTREME PAIN 3 MINUTES APART AND SHE LOOKS AT ME AND SAYS WOW, YOU ARE DIALATED TO 9, THERE IS NO TIME FOR AN EPIDURAL, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THIS BABY ASAP!!!! WHAT ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME! I SPECIFICALLY HAD JASON CALL THE HOSPITAL TO LET THEM KNOW I HAD TO HAVE AN EPIDURAL, NATURAL CHILDBIRTH WAS NOT AN OPTION AND THEY SAID NO WORRIES. YEAH RIGHT!!! NOW I AM HERE AND THEY TELL ME IT IS TOO LATE TO GET DRUGS, I DON’T THINK SO.

SO ANYWAY, THE CONTRACTIONS KEEP ON COMING AND COMING AND FINALLY THEY SAY THAT I CAN GET AN EPIDURAL. SO THEY TRY TO PUT THE IV IN ONE OF MY HANDS AND THEY CAN’T FIND MY VEIN B/C OF ALL THE SHAKING AND PAIN I AM IN SO FINALLY THEY FIND IT IN MY OTHER HAND. SO HERE I AM SITTING IN MY HOSPITAL BED ON MY SIDE WITH MY ASS HANGING OUT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE WHILE I LAY SCREAMING IN PAIN STILL WAITING FOR MY DRUGS! THEY TELL ME THE ANESTHEGIOLOGIST IS IN SURGERY WITH SOMEONE ELSE SO I NEED TO KEEP WAITING. IT WAS AT THIS POINT THAT I BEGAN TO REALIZE THESE PEOPLE WERE CRAZY AND HAD NO INTENTION OF GIVING ME MY DRUGS!

THERE IS A REASON WHY PEOPLE GET ADDICTED TO DRUGS- BECAUSE THEY ARE SOOO GOOD! THAT’S RIGHT, YOU READ CORRECTLY. DRUGS ARE GOOD. I COULDN’T WAIT TO GET DRUGS FOR THIS DELIVERY, WITH GRIFFIN I HAD NO PAIN, I WAS A PLEASURE TO BE AROUND AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THIS TIME- NOT SO MUCH. I CAN’T IMAGINE WHY ANY WOMAN IN HER RIGHT MIND WOULD WANT TO GIVE NATURAL CHILD BIRTH! IT WAS THE MOST GOD AWFUL PAIN I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE! THAT’S RIGHT, IT WAS THE WORST IMAGINABLE PAIN EVER. SO FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE YET TO HAVE KIDS- YOU BETTER GET DRUGS. DON’T SAY I DIDN’T WARN YOU!!!!

OKAY, SO HERE I AM, ASS OUT FOR EVERYONE TO VIEW, SWEAT DRIPPING OFF MY FACE, ME SCREAMING NON-STOP B/C OF THE PAIN, AND BEGGING FOR DRUGS WHEN THE DR. COMES BACK IN AND HAS A LOOK DOWN THERE AND SAYS DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO PUSH?!!! OF COURSE I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO PUSH- THERE IS A BABY IN MY UTERUS THAT HAS BEEN THERE TOO LONG, AND THIS DR. IS ASKING MY IF I NEED TO PUSH?! SO SHE SAYS OKAY, THIS BABY IS READY START TO PUSH! I AM TRYING TO PUSH AND NOW I AM REALLY IN THE MOST EXTREME PAIN I HAVE EVER BEEN IN. LIKE I SAID BEFORE WITH GRIFFIN I THOUGHT THE CANCELLATION OF 90210 WAS BAD THIS IS WAY WAY WAY WORSE! HERE I AM TRYING TO PUSH OUT THIS KID AND I FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING INSIDE MY BODY IS GOING TO FALL OUT MY VAGINA. THAT’S RIGHT IT HURT THAT BAD! THE DOCTOR THEN TELLS ME TO GET CONTROL OF MYSELF AND TELLS ME THAT I NEED TO PULL IT TOGETHR SO I CAN PUSH THIS BABY OUT. MAYBE IF THE DR. WOULD HAVE HAD ME COME TO THE HOSPITAL IN TIME FOR MY EPIDURAL WE WOULDN’T BE IN THIS PREDICAMENT SO IT IS HER FAULT THAT THEY HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME BITCH AND COMPLAIN- THEY DESERVED IT. SO ANYWAY, I TRY AND GAIN MY COMPOSURE IF THAT IS EVEN POSSIBLE WHILE TRYING TO GIVE NATURAL CHILD BIRTH AND SHE SAYS TO ME, PUSH LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO PUSH OUT THE BIGGEST BOWEL MOVEMENT YOU HAVE EVER MADE. OKAY SO HERE I AM, ASS IN THE AIR, VAGINA EXPOSED TO EVERYONE, AND I AM TRYING TO PUSH OUT THE BIGGEST SHIT I HAVE EVER MADE- NICE!!!!! FINALLY THE HEAD COMES. AND THIS PAIN IS SO BAD AS THE HEAD IS TRYING TO COME OUT. I CAN STILL VIVIDLY REMEMBER HOW BAD IT FEELS. SO I KEEP PUSHING AND FINALLY AFTER HAVING TO HAVE AN EPESIOTOMY WITH NO DRUGS THE BABY COMES OUT! FINALLY PEYTEN HAS MADE HER DEBUT!!!! AFTER ALL THAT PAIN AND AGONY, THIS LITTLE PEANUT HAS ARRIVED.

NOW, I AM NO LONGER IN PAIN, AND I AM HOLDING PEYTEN AND EVERYTHING IS GREAT…..THEN THEY TAKE PEYTEN TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM AND CHECK HER OUT. THIS IS WHEN THEY BEGIN THE REPAIR WORK ON ME. THAT’S RIGHT REPAIR WORK. SINCE THE DOC HAD TO CUT MY VAG OPEN I NOW GOT TO BE STICHED UP, OH YEAH AND DID I MENTION THAT THE PLACENTA WOULDN’T COME OUT SO SHE HAD TO STICK 3 STICKS UP MY ASS, YEP 3 STICKS OF WHO KNOWS WHAT UP MY ASS TO GET THE PLACENTA TO FALL OUT! CHILDBIRTH GOTTA LOVE IT!

THEN ABOUT ONE HOUR AFTER PEYTEN WAS BORN, I AM LAYING DOWN IN MY ROOM, WITH PEYTEN, JASON AND MY MOM. I GAVE BIRTH AT 8:26PM AND IT WAS NOW PROBABLY AROUND 9:30 AND JASON, ASKED ME IF I WANT HIM TO ORDER US ALL SOME HOT WINGS. HOT WINGS, ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME! I JUST GAVE BIRTH WITH NO DRUGS, HAD MY VAG SEWN UP, STICKS SHOVED UP MY ASS, AND HE ASKS ME IF I WANT HOT WINGS! MEN!!!!!!!!!! THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHATSO EVER!!!!!!

SO, NOW WE ARE BACK HOME AND ADJUSTING TO LIFE AND EVERYTHING IS GOING PRETTY WELL, EXCEPT WE ARE ALL SLEEP DEPRIVED BUT HEY, I GUESS IT COULD BE WORSE. I KNOW I HAVE PROBABLY LEFT OUT LOTS OF STUFF BUT THIS BLOG IS REALLY LONG AND I WANT MY READERS TO KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE SO I AM GOING TO BRING THIS STORY TO AN END! THE MORAL OF THIS STORY……..DRUGS ARE GOOD, NATURAL CHILDBIRTH PAINFUL PAINFUL PAINFUL!!!!

UNTIL NEXT TIME…………..

STILL NO BABY PEYTEN

WELL.............

STILL NO BABY PEYTEN... SHE IS 3 DAYS LATE!

STILL NO BABY PEYTEN!!!!!!!!!

WELL IT IS FEBRUARY 4TH AND STILL NO BABY PEYTEN!!! I GUESS WE WILL KEEP WAITING.............

UNTIL NEXT TIME..............

PEYTEN UPDATE

SO TODAY I HAD A DR. APPOINTMENT AND IT LOOKS LIKE I AM DIALATED TO 3 CM AND MY CERVIX IS FINALLY THINNING. THIS IS GOOD NEWS. HOPEFULLY SHE WILL COME SOON,BUT NOT SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!!!! MY DUE DATE IS SUNDAY AND IF SHE HASN'T COME BY A WEEK FROM TODAY (NEXT THURSDAY) THEY WILL DO AN ULTRASOUND AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OKAY AND THEN I WOULD GO TO THE HOSPITAL ON FRIDAY TO BE INDUCED.........

HOPEFULLY THOUGH WE WON'T NEED TO WAIT THAT LONG AND SHE WILL COME SUNDAY NIGHT OR MONDAY MORNING :)

I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED.

UNTIL NEXT TIME..................

DAYCARE UPDATE: PART 2

SO, ON FRIDAY ME AND MY MOM WENT TO ANOTHER DAY CARE, AND IT WAS SUCH A BETTER EXPERIENCE THAN THURSDAY. THIS PLACE WAS SO MUCH NICER. IT WAS NEWER, BIGGER AND THE TEACHERS WERE SO MUCH NICER. GRIFFIN DIDN'T CRY ONCE. WE WENT INTO THE TODDLER ROOM AND HE PLAYED WITH THE OTHER KIDS AND AT ONE POINT ME AND MY MOM LEFT TO GO LOOK AROUND AND HE DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE WE WERE GONE. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE THE CENTER HE FUSSED B/C HE WANTED TO STAY AND PLAY.

SO I HAVE DECIDED THIS IS THE BEST THING FOR GRIFFIN RIGHT NOW AND FOR ME. WE ARE ALWAYS TOGETHER AND IT WILL BE GOOD FOR HIM TO GET SOME INDEPENDENCE AND THEN THIS WILL GIVE ME SOME TIME TO BOND WITH BABY PEYTEN WHILE GRIFFIN IS AT SCHOOL. I'VE GOT TO FILL OUT TONS OF PAPER WORK AND GET SOME DOCTORS RECORDS BUT HOPEFULLY HE WILL START SCHOOL IN ABOUT 1 1/2 WEEKS. SO OF COURSE, I WILL TAKE PICSOF HIS FIRST DAY OF "SCHOOL"

UNTIL NEXT TIME................

DAYCARE

SO, TODAY I WENT TO LOOK AT A DAYCARE WITH GRIFFIN. OH GOODNESS........... IT DIDN'T GO OVER SO WELL. FIRST, ONCE WE WENT TO SEE THE CLASSROOM THAT HE WOULD BE IN, HE LATCHED ONTO MY LEG AND WANTED TO BE PICKED UP AND THEN BEGAN TO CRY OVER AND OVER. HE WOULDN'T STOP. HE WOULDN'T STOP UNTIL WE GOT HALF WAY HOME. TOMORROW WE ARE GOING TO CHECK OUT ANOTHER DAY CARE AND MAYBE HE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

YOU MAY BE READING THIS AND SAYING TO YOURSELF, DAYCARE???? WHY ARE YOU PUTTING GRIFFIN INTO DAY CARE WHEN YOU ARE A STAY AT HOME MOM??????? WELL, BECAUSE HE NEEDS THE SOCIAL INTERACTION OF BEING AROUND OTHER KIDS. HE IS ALWAYS WITH ME AND IN ONE YEAR HE WILL BE GOING OFF TO PRESCHOOL, SO THIS WILL BE GOOD PRACTICE FOR US BOTH. HE WILL ONLY BE ATTENDING DAYCARE 2 MORNINGS A WEEK, AND HE WILL BE WITH ME THE REST OF THE TIME.

I AMHOPING THIS WAY HE WILL LEARN TO SHARE AND NOT BE A BULLY, OH YEAH THE WHOLE BULLY THING IS ANOTHER POST ALL IN ITSELF!!! AND IT IS GOOD FOR HIM TO GET SOME INDEPENDENCE AND SURE IT WILL BE A NICE BREAK FOR ME TOO.

WELL, I WILL FILL YOU IN ON HOW IT GOES TOMORROW. I WOULD WRITE MORE NOW, BUT GRIFFIN JUST GOT UP FROM HIS NAP. (I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO WATCH MY TIVO OF ONE TREE HILL LATER)

UNTIL NEXT TIME..................

Misc.....

SO IT HAS BEEN A WEEK SINCE MY LAST BLOG SO I FIGURED I SHOULD DO A NEW POSTING ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOTHING IN PARTICULAR THAT I FEEL LIKE WRITING ABOUT.

GRIFFIN IS GOOD FOR THE MOST PART. HE HAS BEEN SICK ALL WEEK WITH A COLD SINCE WE ARE HAVING ARCTIC WEATHER HERE- SUCKS!!!!! I WISH I WERE SOMEPLACE WARM AND SUNNY ON A TROPICAL ISLAND SOMEWHERE, BUT WHO KNOWS WHEN I WILL GET THAT CHANCE AGAIN SINCE WE WILL HAVE 2 BRATS RUNNING AROUND. I GUESS IT IS A GOOD THING NONA LISA AND PAPA OZZIE LIKE TO VISIT GRIFFIN EVERY MONTH SO THEY CAN BABYSIT :) SO SINCE HE HAS BEEN SICK WE MISSED PLAYGROUP AND TUMBLE GYM THIS WEEK SO HE DIDN'T GET TO BE AROUND ANY KIDS. I AM TRYING TO GET HIM AROUND KIDS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE B/C I WANT HIM TO LEARN HOW TO BE SOCIAL AND HOW TO INTERACT WITH OTHER KIDS HIS AGE. RIGHT NOW, HE LIKES TO CRY AND HIT AND IN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR HE WILL BE OFF TO PRESCHOOL, AND I WANT HIM TO BEHAVE HIMSELF. I AM EVEN THINKING ABOUT PUTTING HIM IN A DAYCARE LIKE SETTING MAYBE 2 MORNINGS A WEEK JUST SO HE CAN START TO GET USED TO IT, BUT WE WILL SEE................

ON ANOTHER NOTE PEYTEN IS DUE 2 WEEKS FROM TODAY- NOW THAT IS CRAZY!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST 9 MONTHS WENT. ME AND JASON HAVE A FEELING SHE IS COMING EARLY BUT HOPEFULLY SHE CAN WAIT UNTIL THURSDAY WHEN MY MOM COMES TO HELP. I AM REALLY GETTING NERVOUS ABOUT 2 KIDS BUT I GUESS WE WILL MANAGE.

ON ONE LAST NOTE I AM GETTING READY TO WATCH PRETTY BOY TOM BRADY KICK SOME SERIOUS SAN DIEGO ASS TODAY SO WE CAN GO TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!!

UNTIL NEXT TIME...................

MY NEW OBSESSION!

SO YES, IF YOU KNOW ME PRETTY WELL YOU KNOW I AM OBSESSED WITH TEENAGE SHOWS. YES, I WATCH GOSSIP GIRL, THE HILLS, NEWPORT HARBOR, AND 90210 RERUNS, AND NOW I HAVE FOUND THE NEXT BEST THING- ONE TREE HILL. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SHOW. IT IS THE NEXT BEST THING TO 90210. ONE DAY I WAS SITTING ON THE COUCH WATCHING SOAPNET- YEP SOAPNET- THIS IS WHERE THEY PLAY 90210 AND AFTER 90210 WAS AN EPISODE OF ONE TREE HILL. SO I SAID OKAY, I WILL TRY IT OUT AND EVER SINCE I HAVE BEEN HOOKED. I MEAN SERIOUSLY THIS SHOW ROCKS!!! LAST SEASON ALONE THERE WAS MURDER- BROTHER MURDERED BROTHER, TEENAGE PREGNANCY, HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING, TEENAGE MARRIAGE AND MY FAVORITE A PSHYCHO KILLER OUT TO GET PEYTON! YEP, THIS SHOW HAS IT ALL,A ND NOW I CAN WATCH ALL NEW EPISODES ON THE CW!!!!!

AND I WAS AFFRAID THAT THE NEW SEASON WAS GOING TO SUCK B/C SAESON 4 WAS SOOOO GOOD, BUT IT IS AWESOME. THEY SKIPPED 4 YEARS AND ARE NOW 22, SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THAT COLLEGE DRAMA OF GETTING 6 CHARACTERS AT THE SAME SCHOOL, THAT OFTEN FAILS SO MANY TIMES WHEN A SHOW TRYS TO DO THAT. SO FOR THOSE OF YOU OUT THERE LIKE ME THAT ENJOY THIS TYPE OF STUFF, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ONE TREE HILL.

UNTIL NEXT TIME................

POST FAMILY UPDATE

SO IT HAS BEEN FOREVER SINCE I HAVE DONE A BLOG POST. I'M NOT SURE WHY B/C MY MOM AND DAD WERE HERE TO HELP OUT AND I GUESS I JUST TOOK THAT TIME TO RELAX AND WATCH ONE TREE HILL- MY NEW OBSESSION!

WE HAD A REALLY NICE HOLIDAY HERE IN BOSTON. MY MOM AND DAD WERE HERE TO CELEBRATE AND WE HAD A WHITE CHRISTMAS, WHICH WAS FUN TO SEE GRIFFIN GOI SLEDDING- HE IS SUCH A BOSTONIAN!! SANTA WAS GOOD TO US AND BROUGHT US EVERYTHING WE WANTED AND I WOULD SAY THAT GRIFFIN MADE OUT PRETTY WELL. IT IS SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT NEXT CHRISTMAS WE WILL HAVE 2 LITTLE ONES RUNNING AROUND- CRAZY!!!

WE HAD A NICE NEW YEARS AS WELL. MOM AND DAD WERE STILL HERE AND THAT NIGHT ME AND JASON WENT TO A NEW YEARS PARTY AND TOOK GRIFFIN B/C KIDS WERE ALLOWED SO IT GAVE MY MOM AND DAD A BREAK FROM US :)

WE GOT SO MUCH DONE WHILE MY PARENTS WERE HERE. GRIFFIN GOT NEW BEDROOM FURNITURE- INCLUDING A BED- BUT HE IS STILL TOO LITTLE FOR IT. HE LIKES HIS CRIB. I BET ONCE HE IS 2 WE WILL TRY AND PUT HIM IN HIS BIG BOY BED, SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GET ANOTHER CRIB. WE ALSO MOVED GRIFFIN'S WHITE FURNITURE INTO PEYTEN'S ROOM SO HER NURSERY IS COMING ALONG. I AM GOING WITH THE COLORS OF PINK, GREEN, WHITE AND CREME IN A SHABBY CHIC THEME WITH BUTTERFLIES :) WE ALSO WENT THROUGH GRIFFIN'S OLD CLOTHES TO SEE WHAT WE CAN USE FOR PEYTEN SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO BUY ALL NEW CLOTHES. DON'T GET ME WRONG, WE ARE STILL BUYING THINGS FOR HER AS I TYPE. INFACT, TODAY WE WENT TO ORDER A DOUBLE STROLLER THAT MY MOM AND DAD WERE KIND ENOUGH TO GET FOR US AS A GIFT.

WELL, OTHER THAN THAT,NOT MUCH ELSE TO REPORT. I WENT TO THE DOCTOR LAST WEEK AND IT TURNS OUT MY CERVIX IS STILL REALLY THICK AND NOT DIALATED AT ALL AND HER HEAD STILL HASN'T DROPPED. I STILL THINK SHE IS COMING EARLY- HOPEFULLY!!! HER DUE DATE IS SUPER BOWL SUNDAY, AND I CAN'T MISS THE PATS WIN IT AGAIN!!!!!!

OKAY I GUESS THIS POST GOT KIND OF LONG SO I WILL END IT NOW. I WILL BE BLOGGING MORE OFTEN- PROMISE!!

OH ON A SIDE NOTE- WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH BRITNEY SPEARS- THOSE POOR POOR KIDS!!!!!

Griffin and santa the second time

yep, that's my boy. After waiting 1 1/2 hours to get his picture with santa this year, he cried and cried and wet his pants! That's my boy. Good thing while we were in florida we took his pic with santa but i only have a hard copy of that one, and of course he had a big smile on his face!

my computer is down

HI ALL, MY COMPUTER ISN'T WORKING SO I HAVE BEEN USING JASON'S WORK LAPTOP. HOPEFULLY ONCE MINE IS WORKING AGAIN I CAN POST A BETTER BLOG WITH PICS, B/C I HAVE TAKEN SOME HOLIDAY PICS OF OUR HOUSE AND ALL THE SNOW :) HOPE TO BE BACK UP AND BLOGGING SOON.

WE'RE BACK

SO WE ARE FINALLY BACK HOME FROM SUNNY WARM FLORIDA. WE HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME. WE WENT TO THE ZOO, THE BEACH, THE PARKS, BUTTERFLY WORLD, BOATING AND PLAYED OUTSIDE EVERYDAY. GRIFFIN LOVED ITB/C HE GOT TO WEAR SHORTS AND T'S AND NOW HE IS WEARING LAYER UPON LAYER OF CLOTHING. IT IS SOOOOOO COLD HERE! THIS AM MY CAR SAID 27 DEGREES!!! HOW CAN IT BE THAT COLD!!!! ANYWAY, WE ARE BACK IN BOSTON FOR A WHILE NOW SINCE I CAN'T FLY AND I'M SURE THAT WITH 2 BRATS WE AREN'T GOING TO WANT TO MAKE THAT ADVENTURE BY PLANE ANYTIME SOON :)

THIS WEEK WE HAVE JUST BEEN GETTING BACK IN THE SWING OF THINGS. I HAD MY DR. APPOINTMENT AND EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD. WE ARE AT THE POINT WHERE I GO EVERY 2 WEEKS NOW. GRIFFIN HAD HIS 18 MONTH CHECKUP AS WELL AND SO FAR SO GOOD. I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE MADE IT 18 MONTHS ALREADY. TIME FLIES WAY TO FAST!!!!! GRIFFIN ALSO HAD HIS FIRST DENTIST APPOINTMENT THIS MORNING TOO. HE DID REALLY GOOD, EXCEPT SHE TOLD ME GRIFFIN IS GETTING ALL HIS TEETH IN AT ONCE! HE ONLY HAS 8 TEETH RIGHT NOW, AND HE IS GETTING HIS BOTTOM MOLARS ALONG WITH LIKE 4-6 OTHER TEETH ALL AT ONCE. LORD, GIVE ME PATIENCE TO DEAL WITH THAT :)

OH YEAH, DID I MENTION THAT ONCE AGAIN LIKE WITH MY FIRST PREGNANCY I HAVE KIDNEY STONES. YEP, WHEN I WAS 7 MONTHS PREGGERS WITH GRIFFIN I PASSED 2 KIDNEY STONES AND SO FAR I HAVE PASSED ONE BUT I KNOW THERE ARE MORE. I GUESS IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH CALCIUM. SO IT ALWAYS FEELS LIKE I HAVE TO PEE ALL DAY LONG- FUN, RIGHT!

WELL, JUST WANTED TO CHECK IN AND FILL YOU ALL IN ON WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON.

UNTIL NEXT TIME..........

HOPE YOU LIKE IT. WE WILL BE LEAVING FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS THURSDAY SO I WILL POST A NEW BLOG ONCE WE GET BACK.

UNTIL NEXT TIME.........

Pampering Myself!!!!!!

So this weekend I have decided to take some time out for me :) Yep, no Jason and no griffin, although I will miss them- not really :) I am getting my hair cut tomorrow, and you may be saying big deal- but yes it is a big deal b/c it is very hard to do this with Griffin. Jason works during the week so i can't go mon-fri b/c who would watch griffin?? So, tomorrow after his swim lessons i am off to get my hair cut and styled, and yes, it is before his nap time, so then i can come home and relax while he is napping.

Then Sunday morning at 10 am, i am treating myself to a prenatal massage for an hour and a half. I have decided that i am going to get one of these every month until baby number 2 arrives- so that is 3 massages :) and if you have ever been preggers you know what a godsend the prenatal massage is :) and yes, i should make it home right as griffin is going down to nap again :) So 2 free mornings in a row all to myself- i can hardly contain my excitement!

Oh yeah, and stay tuned for the announcement of the name we have chosen for Griffin's little sister :)

Until next time...........

The "older" mothers

So, Griffin doesn't like to eat- big shocker! He is a very picky eater. I was a picky eater as well, and as my mom likes to say payback is a bitch, and yes, she was right. At first i used to call the doctor every other day and take griffin in to the doctor b/c he doesn't like to eat. The nurses and doctors have all assured me that this is very normal and most toddlers don't eat much. So , i have decided not to be concerned with this sinceI have other things to think about right now. Like, um, a baby is coming in 3 months and we need to get a nursery together, pick a name, yada yada. And i am taking griffin to California and that is a 6 hour plane ride so that is consuming my mind everyday about how sucky that ride is going to be. But back to griffin not eating, so okay, i figure one day he is going to have to eat, right? Right! I mean don't get me wrong there are a few staples to his diet- crystal light, juice, milk, yogart smoothies, dunkin donuts, gold fish crackers and mcdonalds french fries- that about covers it. So when he eats fries i am like wow, he ate fries, i mean hello, fries are potatoes right?, so he is eating his veggies :)

But like i said i am not concerned b/c it is just a phase. Once the "older" mother finds out what Griffin eats i feel like i am being scolded by a mother figure (not you mom, bc/ you understand how it is). In my neighborhood most of the moms have kids around griffin's age but they are like 10 + years older than me! the average mom is 40 in my neighborhood and i guess b/c they are older they are the type moms that puree all the organic food for their babies, don't let them drink juice, etc.- that' s the mom i am talking about. Shit, go to the market and get some gerber jars- seriously! i mean who has that kind of time- not me! so they all say wow, aren't you worried he doesn't eat, and i say no he eats, and i tell them what he eats and they can't believe i take him to mcdonalds. yep, these are the type of people i deal with on an everyday basis. then they tell me that b/c he doesn't go to bed until 8:30 pm and sleeps all night until 7:30-8am and he naps for 2 hours in the middle of the day that he is going to bed too late. HUH!!!!! he sleeps all night, what is wrong with that. The older" mom says he should be going to bed at 7pm. Well, let me tell you something those kids that go to bed at 7 wake up at 6 am, sorry, i need my beauty sleep, and at 7 we are just sitting down to eat, they all eat at 5pm, i guess the early bird special! It's just like they are all alpha moms and i am pretty laid back about griffin. so far he seems to be a normal healthy kid- so i think we are doing something right.

I could go on and on with different stores about the "older" mom but i don't want to bore you. I am just glad that for me, i had my kids when i was younger b/c shit when i am 40 griffin will be 13. I couldn't imagine being 40 and having a one year old- yikes!

Until next time.......

I'm Bored

Griffin is napping and I have alreay eaten and watched my tivo, i am exhausted but can't sleep, why can't i sleep during the day??? i have been cursed and i can't nap during the day , it is insane. i will lay there and nothing, just can't do it. So, i figured i would post a pic of griffin and bentley. if anyone has any napping tips let me know!

until next time....

Tom Freaking Hot Brady!

So Mr. Brady is the new face of stetson and me likee a lot! He is just sooo good looking. He is up there with David Beckham in my book for good looking athletes :) We love you Tom!

Until next time........

Pats vs. the Cowboys

Okay, so this upcoming weekend the Pat are playing the cowboys and people here ask who are you cheering for? Well, I say, that's an easy,. the team that doesn't cheat! I am planning on cheering for the Dallas Cowboys against the Patriots this weekend. People are in shock, how can you cheer for another team, you live in New England. Yep, I sure do, and I love Tom Brady. He is HOT HOT HOT!!!! But, I just can't bring myself to cheer for cheaters, and they admitted the cheated! And what is really sad about the whole cheating thing is, they didn't need to cheat. the Pats are a kick ass team and didn't need to resort to that, they would have won anyways. They truly are that good. But they did cheat and i am not cheering for them this season. If you ask someone here in Boston, gosh it sure sux that the Pats did that, and all they can say is, oh well, who cares, everyone cheats- good morals they are teaching their kids!!!! So, i am going to be the black fish this weekend, and me and griffin are cheering for the Cowboys :) We are going to wear our cowboy attire out and about and be proud. And you ask who Jason is cheering for???? He has turned into a true new englander b/c he is cheering for the Pats! Oh well, what can you do. I'm sure that the cowboys are going to loose but hey, at least they have heart and don't need to cheat! But yes, Brady is still HOT!

Oh yeah, and how 'bout them red sox!!!!!!!!!!!

Until next time...........

Brit Brit!

Okay, so after turning over her kids to K-FEd yesterday you would think that Brit Brit woud be sad to leave her kids or at least try and change her ways. WRONG!!

(an excerpt from perezhilton) She went to get some burgers at Carl’s Jr. She dropped off her kids to K-Fed’s bodyguard. She went tanning. She went to the DMV. She spent time at the Peninsula Hotel.
And, Britney even managed to find time to squeeze in to her busy schedule to have dinner at Nobu in Malibu on Monday night.
How does she do it all? She’s a superwoman!

All i can say is I feel so sorry for small fry and tater tot!

Until next time.........
