6 months!
Seriously? Half a year, I can't believe it! Every day is so much fun, there is no sound greater than a laughing baby. Even going to the doctor yesterday was fun as Lyla was the entertainment for the whole waiting room! She was laughing and giggling, and smiling at everyone in the room.
What's new in Lyla's world? Sitting up is much easier these days, and she's actually caught herself instead of falling flat on her face a few times! On her stomach she can push herself either in circles or backwards across the hardwood floor. She rolls all over the place. And everything goes straight to the mouth.
Speaking of the mouth, she started solids last week. Rice cereal first, which daddy is much better at getting her to eat than me! Also a little bit of chicken, and some carrots last night! mmm mmm. So weird having her eating real food. It also takes a little more planning, I'm going to have to get things more organized.
Really looking forward to celebrating Christmas with our family this year. Haven't done too much shopping yet but getting there. Can't wait to see Lyla's face when the Christmas tree goes up!

5 Months old!
Once again, somehow another month has slipped by, and my little girl is now 5 months old! She is more and more fun every single day. She is still refusing to take a bottle, so we've pretty much stopped battling that and have decided we will just start working on a sippy cup so that I can have a little more flexibility.
Bedtime is consistently 7-7:30, and most nights she sleeps through til the morning, but sometimes she wakes somewhere between 2-5, but I just get up and feed her and she falls right back to sleep. Now I'm trying to decide if I'm going to pull out some of the 'sleep training' principles to apply to nap time, because that is not very consistent.
Now that she's such a 'roller' you never know where you'll find her in the morning. When she's on her tummy I don't really know how she's comfortable, but her snoring seems to mean she likes it
But her favorite thing by far is standing up all by herself!

Thanksgiving Day at the farm
Lyla had her first Thanksgiving this weekend. Yesterday we had our dinner, it was a small one but really nice. Greg actually made dinner which made it even more enjoyable. Lyla and I went to church while he stayed home and cooked the turkey...on the BBQ! lol
When we got home my sister Pam came over to enjoy dinner with us and then stayed for a visit. It was really nice to spend some time together.
Today, Greg and Lyla and I went to RiverBreeze farm, with the intention of picking a pumpkin at the u pic pumpkin patch. But after walking through the corn maze and looking at the animals Lyla wasn't in the mood to wait in line for the tractor ride that would take us there. So we just went up to the market and bought a couple of pumpkins and some yummy brownies and headed home.
Of course I forgot the camera in the car while we were at the farm so we just took a couple of pics. So cute in her new vest room from her auntie Karen.

4 Month appointment
We headed in for our 4 month appointment yesterday, Lyla did great. She is weighing 12lbs 4 oz and is 60 cm long. So she grew 5cm and gained almost 2.5 lbs since her 2 month. The needles were hard on her, but as soon as I got her in her sling she stopped crying. Last night she was pretty cranky. She did wake up at 12 but then slept until 7:30 so that was great.
Today she has been pretty whiny, but is right now having her second nap, so hopefully she'll feel better after that.
I am truly falling more and more in love with this girl every day, she is so amazing. I need to do a quick recap!
-Starting at 3 months she LOVES standing! She just needs her hands held
-She's rolling front to back, she started that at Kindermusik class
-She had her real first laugh last week, it was hilarious, I screamed and that scared her, lol
-She's been sleeping pretty great from the beginning, but about 2 weeks ago we went home to PEI and she was really tired so I put her to bed at 8:30 and she slept until 7:30, the next night it was 8:30-8:30! Now she almost always sleeps 10+ hours, she's been fantastic!
She is such a cutie, I need to get some new pics done very soon!

Wow...3 months goes very quickly!
It's hard to believe, but Lyla was 3 months on Monday...and I'm just getting to this now. A lot of people said 3 months is the big change, where you feel more in control etc. and it sure happened for me over the past couple of weeks.
I have a lot of stuff to catch up on here, I dealt with some pretty difficult postpartum emotions and I think that will be a whole separate post. But for now, I think I'll focus on the positive, and show off my gorgeous little girl.
Looking forward to reconnecting with people!
10 weeks old, love sucking on my bear!
3 months old! Wow...time really flies!

Long overdue birth story!
If I don't get this written down soon I'm going to start to forget things, so now that I think she's asleep for a little while I'm going to get to it. There are also lots of things to get caught up on, but I'll just start at the beginning and work my way through it!
Saturday, June 6 2009
6am Woke up with period like cramps, thinking maybe this is something. So I got up and got some breakfast, plus a paper and pen to mark things down in case there was any pattern. Nothing really, except being a little uncomfortable. Just spent the rest of the morning hanging out.
Noon My Dr. called to tell me that they were taking a group of women in on Sunday to assess them for induction and wondered if I wanted to be a part of the group. I said sure, so I figured we'd be getting things rolling on Sunday.
5-8pm Feeling a little more uncomfortable, but still nothing special. It was the hockey play offs so we just hung out and watched the game. A few times I would have to stand up to deal with a contraction, but they were still only a few an hour.
10pm Had a few really painful ones, but it was hard to tell when they were starting and finishing, because I guess I was having back labor, which kind of just made it feel like continuous pain instead of a start and finish. I decided to get in the shower, and felt great while in there. So I figured maybe I would go lie down and see if I could sleep for a while. About five minutes after lying down I had to jump up out of bed to deal with a contraction. So I came downstairs to talk to Greg. He thought we should just go to the hospital, but I was waiting for the whole 4-1-1 thing to occur and didn't want to get sent home.
11pm I decided to call the birth unit and ask what they thought. After listening to what I had to say she thought I sounded like I was in labor. So we packed up the car and headed to the hospital
The whole way I kept thinking that this probably isn't really it and they are going to send me home.
Sunday June 7 2009
12:15 We got the the assessment unit where they hooked me up to monitors. Lying on the bed was the most painful thing ever, all I wanted to do was stand up. Greg rubbed my lower back with helped a lot.
She checked and told us that we were 3cm and that we should discuss pain options. I told her I was open to anything, and she said that if I wanted an epidural this would be a good time to get it. So we were send down to the delivery room and I got changed into my snazzy gown while dealing with some nasty contractions. We only had to wait about 10 minutes for the anesthesiologist to get there. I told Greg he didn't have to watch, so it was just me and our amazing nurse dealing with things. The worst part was dealing with a contraction while sitting curled over on the side of the bed, it seemed to take forever!
It took a while for the epi to kick in, so there were a few more nasty contractions, plus it didn't really cover both sides equally so I was still feeling pressure on my left side for quite a while. It did finally kick in though.
Now the fun began!
2pm My nurse called for the head nurse to come in, who wanted to check me again. I wasn't aware of it at the time, but it was because her heart rate had dropped. Once they got there they couldn't get a good read on it so they had to put a monitor on her scalp. At this time they noticed there were no membranes...even though I had no idea the my water had broke, there was also excessive bleeding. So my Dr. was paged along with the head Ob resident.
The OB said that I had little to no fluid so that they would have to start pumping saline into my uterus (yeah...didn't know they did that either!) but that the bleeding wasn't a worry, something to do with the way by cervix was dilating. Although from the bloody towel they held up to show him how much blood there was I would hate to see what 'too much' would have looked like.
My Dr. showed up and checked everything out. Said I was still just over 3 cm and that if all went well we would be pushing by 10 am and have a baby by 12. So she went home again.
The rest of the actual timeline gets a little foggy at this point. The heart rate took a dive several times (now we knew where it was on the monitor) and nurses were in and out each time.
At one point I told the nurse that I had a feeling like but butt had fallen asleep. She said that was pressure, and sure enough I had gone from 6-9 cm in under an hour.
They were getting concerned that things didnt seem to be balancing out so they called my Dr. back. We then started a really scary moment. Greg tells me that within 2 minutes we had 15 people in the room and all I remember is the stupid oxygen mask, alarms going off on the monitors and talk of forceps. First they said we were going to the OR, but then there was no time. I had to start pushing, in the delivery room with all these people, and I was bawling my eyes out trying to get someone to tell me that the baby was okay. Finally a nurse leaned in and showed me on the moniter that the hr had come back up.
So, everything stopped and they decided to let me push on my own for a while. We were back to just me and Greg, 1 nurse and my Dr. They said pushing was going well, but that maybe we could try the squatting bar. I tried but by legs just couldn't support me. My Dr. was saying this isn't going to work, lie on your side. I thought she meant the squatting, I didn't realize the hr had dropped again.
In rush all the people again, and this time they are handing Greg scrubs and telling us they are taking us to the OR. I was in hysterics bawling, but all of a sudden a calm came over me and I just started praying that everything would be okay, and kept asking my nurse what it going on.
When we got to the OR they upped my epi so that now I felt nothing. I think they used 2 or 3 different forceps, and there was lots of noise and light and all I wanted was to hold Greg's hand and hear that the baby was going to be okay. There was one nurse who stayed less than a foot from my face and kept telling me everything was okay, I just stared at her and Greg and kept on praying. When they told me to push I pushed so hard, and was so scared but I needed to see my baby.
I have no idea how long I pushed, but I'm guessing it wasn't more than 20 minutes. And at 10:07am The words 'It's a girl' absolutely stopped my heart. I was bawling my eyes out, waiting for them to take her over to me. It took a while for who I assume was the NICU team to check her out, but they brought her over to me and I just couldn't believe she was mine. I kept saying to Greg 'I can't believe she's ours...we have a baby girl'.
There was quite a bit of repair time in the OR. The Dr. explained that they had done an episiotomy, but that on top of that I also had a 3rd degree tear...fun stuff. There were 3 or 4 Dr.'s working on me, but I just didn't care.
They took us back to our delivery room where we got to start breastfeeding right away. But it would take a long time for the epi to wear off, and when it did they had to start me on Morphin. I was taken to the family/newborn unit still in my bed, I had a 24 hour cathetor put in and was pretty drugged up for the next 24 hours.
There's lots more to the story of the past 4 weeks, but I think that's all I can handle for today.
Love you baby girl!

40 Weeks....plus
Well, I hope these are the last belly pictures. 40 weeks 3 days. Today I'm off to Dr., hopefully to hear that we are progressing and that we'll be meeting our little one really soon. Not that I'm all that uncomfortable or anything, but I think it's time. I'm starting to get a little bored around the house ( the clean house...with lots of baking done!), and dh is getting very anxious. Today is actually the first time he hasn't called me mid day, guess he's finally understanding that it may take a while longer.
If we don't have the baby by Monday we'll be calling our dr. to discuss induction. I really don't want it to come to that, but we'll do what we have to I guess.

Due date is here...
...baby is not!
I "think" I'm having some mild contractions, not painful by any means, but my whole belly gets hard and kind of sticks out for a minute or so. DH is VERY impatient...he wants to know when this whole thing is going to get on the go. I wish I could tell him. But I also wish he would be helpful in getting me to stay relaxed, instead of adding to anxiety.
Hopefully updates will come soon!

39 Weeks
I really have no excuse for not keeping up the blog. I've been home for 1.5 weeks now, cleaning up a storm, trying to eat healthy/walk and getting ready for this baby to come home! I've been feeling a lot more uncomfortable, but I still have times when I feel great so I'm not sure if anything is really happening. I'm heading to the Dr. at 6:45 tonight to see what's up. I think I will be fine with whatever she tells me, I just want to know something. If she says nothing is going on that's fine, at least I won't be over analyzing every little twinge.
Sleeping has become a lot more difficult. I know I can't complain because I got off really easy in the beginning. I slept through the night almost the whole pregnancy. Now I"m up 3-4 times a night, and then when I wake up around 5ish I don't go back to sleep. Walking when I get up in the middle of the night is really painful, so is rolling over.
I'm feeling more and more in need of having dh around. I just want to sit close to him and feel much better when he's around. He's been so great, constantly asking how I'm feeling, and I feel him getting more and more attached to the baby. He's told him/her that it's time to come out a few times. We got to visit with our friends newborn last week and on the way home he just said 'it's time to come out now'. Seeing my big strong husband holding that tiny little baby was amazing, and I can't wait to see him holding our little one.

37 Weeks, Full Term!
I know I keep saying how unbelievable this is, but it is so true. I only have 3 days of work left, and then I'm off for a whole year! That is really hard to grasp. I mean since I graduated in 2003 I've been working 49+ weeks out of the year and now nothing? So strange. Not that I'm complaining, I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to spend this first year with my baby full time, I know not everyone has that gift, but it's going to take some getting used to.
Still feeling pretty good, the pelvic pain is getting worse, but once I'm up and moving for the day it seems to get a lot better. I'm also getting pretty tired again, but thankfully it's interspersed with bursts of energy so I have been getting some things done. Including some more shopping! (I"m spending way too much money!)
I just got an order in the mail yesterday, an Ergo Carrier, Hotsling, and some cloth diapers.
The Ergo, is black with 'retro lining'. I also got the infant insert so we can use it right away.
The hotsling is 'Full Bloom', I'm excited to have this for the early days, it will be a great way to keep the baby with me if he/she is fussy but still have my hands free.
Finally, I added a few things to my CD stash, a couple of XS thirsties covers, since all I have are size small. 2 Bum Genius XS (So ridiculously cute!) and a size small fuzzi bunz just to try, although it seems pretty big, so I'm not sure how soon I'll get to use it. This is added to my prefolds (36 infant sized) and 4 KLO, as well as 4 other fitteds called Sugar Peas.
This is becoming a crazy long entry, so I should wrap it up! Here are this week's pics.

This is added to my prefolds (36 infant sized) and 4 KLO, as well as 4 other fitteds called Sugar Peas.
This is becoming a crazy long entry, so I should wrap it up! Here are this week's pics.

Nursery....pretty much complete!
Love the DREAM letters on the wall...thanks Auntie Pam! She got those for baby for Christmas and they really fit the colors and feel of the room.
Our huge and not so attractive but oh so comfortable chair! I'm sure baby and I are going to be spending a lot of quality time in that chair over the coming months!
Love the crib set and and the light, and I'm so happy with how the wall turned out, DH did such a great job!
This picture does a great job of showing how bright this room is, I love all the light that comes in there it makes it so cheery!
I don't think you can read the quote but it says "Every good and perfect gift comes from above...". It was a pita to put up, but I love it! And I know the picture frames are crooked, I have to adjust the ribbons!
Don't mind the dirty carpet...needs a good vacuuming, as Ella loves to roll around on it!
And that's it, so excited to have it complete...well except for the baby of course!
