3 + months...how did that happen?
Wow, its been awhile since I've posted. I think I last posted when Fiona was 8 weeks old and Mark was heading back to work. Now Fiona is almost 3 months! First its insane that she is almost 3 months old. Part of me feels like we just brought her home and the other part feels like she has always been here. Fiona is doing great, and is growing so ( Read more... ) -
On my own...
Its hard to believe that Fiona has been home for over 3 weeks. Mark took off of work for a few weeks and today is his first day back at work. I spent the day meeting friends for coffee, then lunch, then spoke to a potential new client. All while feeding Fiona a million times. Ok, not quite a million, but she seems to be going through a growth spurt ( Read more... ) -
Update
I've been bad about updating lately. Fiona got to come home on August 6th, after an emotional roller coaster the day before. Originally she was suppose to come home on the 5th, she was even discharged but as I was feeding her before we left (in a different position with a very forceful nurse) she had a brady cardia episode that was bad enough that ( Read more... ) -
Life has been crazy
Having a new born in the NICU is exhausting. First there is the physical exhaustion of having a newborn. Even though she isn't home I still have to get up every 3 hours to pump. And I'm at the hospital now for the 8am, 11am, 2pm, 8pm, and 11pm feeding, which take at least an hour. So at night I dont leave until almost midnight, I get home, I still ( Read more... ) -
The story of Fiona
So its been a busy few days...
Wednesday morning I woke up when the doctor came in to check on me. I had been having contractions all day on tuesday. Tuesday evening the contractions were pretty strong, but eventually they had tapered off and eventually stopped. I had spotted a wee bit tuesday night, but by the time the periantologist came to check ( Read more... ) -
still here...
So this morning I had more bleeding/spotting and more contractions. My doctors pretty much told me that I'm not going home. I kinda knew it was coming, but part of me hoped that I would get to go home at least for a few days ( Read more... ) -
Still in the hospital...
Well the hopes that I would just be in the hospital a few days have pretty much been dashed. I was looking good I on thursday and there was talk of sending me home. Then thursday night I was video chatting with Mark I blacked out. I was laying down being monitored and the whole room got all weird and fuzzy and I managed to push the nurse call ( Read more... ) -
Update
So this pregnancy took an unexpected turn on sunday night.
We had a great 4th of July weekend hanging with friends, and I finished cleaning the house. Sunday was pretty chill. I watched Mrs. Potter while Mark played in the Santa Cruz hills in the morning, then we grabbed some lunch and pretty much relaxed.
As you can see from the photographic ( Read more... ) -
C-section
Mark and I had our second ultrasound yesterday to check on the placenta previa. It was discovered at my 20 week ultrasound that I had a complete placenta previa. I has hoping that it would have moved out of the way, but no such luck. The placenta is still chillin right over my cervix. So there is no way that I can have a natural birth. I'm a little ( Read more... ) -

I am pretty sure I am in full on nesting mode ( Read more... )
