Things have been interesting lately now that i have two girls. I forgot how much clothes a baby goes threw within a week and how hard it is to get up at night. But ive gotten use to it. Luckily i got a great hubby and stays up for awhile at night and feeds her a few times before he goes to bed. He always plays his computer game anyways. Also i just started getting use to the fact that im not prego anymore and i can actually wear my normal clothes which im very happy about. Well kinda...I cant wear the jeans i have for some reason yet...so im going to have to buy some. I got some of the place cleaned and i was going threw my closet and got all the prego clothes out. It was kinda sad....cuz i dont think ill ever wear them again since we are pretty much done having kids. Two is hard enough. But anyways....Im just still trying to get use to this breastfeeding stuff. Im like thinking that all the milk will just go away like last time but its still coming but im worried that she's not getting enough. I still dont know. We do give her formula but i really dont want to or atleast not during the day. But she eats all the time so my milk doesnt come in quick enough. I think shes gettin use to the bottle and she's not wanting the breast as much. But im sure trying. With Summer....i think she acting out more and she gets more attached to me....even more when i hold the baby when she's being feed. Im just doing my best to make time to spend with both of them.
Sorry Im just alittle tired so I lost what stuff i was going to write. Well this weekend is halloween and i cant wait to take the girls out trick or treating. Or atleast Summer. Im not sure what we are planning on doing but we might go to the mall cuz some of the stores there hand out candy. I know my store does. And then go to a friends place and walk around there. So it should be fun! Cant wait to dress them both up. I just need to get one thing for Summer's outfit and then she will be set!
Sorry i have to cut this short...Summer is getting into things! Until next time!

Alexis is here!!!!
Sorry it took me so long to get an update on here! Ive just been to busy or just in to much pain to come on here and write all the stuff thats going on!
Well anyways...on with the news. Well i had Alexis on my induce date. When I got to the hospital at 5am...we had to check in and waited in the lobby for like an hour. After they called us and got me all set and into my robe and put the everything in my arm, they started Pitocin...to start my contractions. I started feeling them pretty soon after which was good. After an hour or two after that... I got my epidural and I was in heaven! It wasnt a feeling i had last time. Im thinking they put it in wrong the last time. The only worse part was when they were giving me the epidural....he stuck me like 5 times trying to get it in right....but it was all worth it in the end cuz i didnt feel a thing....beside the pressure of the baby coming. To me it was the perfert birth i could ever have. My first one was the worse. So i had the good and bad of both worlds in labor. The only thing that sucked about the after labor cuz of the pain. Im in more pain then i was last time. But im managing it the best i can. But anyways....after the baby came out...it was the weirdest feeling to have a normal birth and hearing Alexis cry....was so great and i just started sobbing. It was so great. Another great part of the labor is that i pretty much laughed threw the whole thing. Thats how well the epidural worked. I was so grateful how everything worked out. And that i got to have my doctor do the delivery and he made it even more better. Oh another thing is...when Alexis came out and saw how much hair she had and how chunky she was. it was great. Our mouths just dropped when we hear how big she was. Well here's all the info...
Alexis Marie Anderson
Born: 10.13.09
Time: 11:02am
Weight: 8lbs & 10 ozs & 19 inches long!
Oh...another thing i remembered, My sister was there in the room with us and she had to leave at like 11:30 to pick up her girls and she really wanted to be there for the birth and kept telling me and the baby to hurry to she can see Alexis. I guess the baby heard her cuz I was dilated at like 10:55am and it only took like 5 to 10 mins to push and she was out. So it was great for my sister too! That day was just all round a good day. Gees, I keep remembering another things. Another thing was when I got all settled in...when they checked me...i was 4 or 4 1/2 cm dilated. So i made it pasted the hard part at home...so thats good! I didnt have to do it at the hospital. So i was really in real labor for like (well when i woke up really) 6 hours! It was great.
Alexis and I got to go home the next day at around 5pm. Now she's a week and a half old and doing good. She really a good eater. Its gets really hard to feed her when she wants to eat every hour but it mostly cuz she falls asleep and when i want to put her down...she wakes up. So i really get no rest. We do give her formula at night to help her sleep longer so i can sleep and have the energy during the day. But mostly breast feed all the other times. I knew it would be hard with two kids but its harder then i thought. And im just trying to deal with it the best i can along with the pain i still have.
Summer seems to be handling the big sister role pretty good. She has her moments. I can tell she's getting more and more attached to me...which is great but with the moods i have been having that your get after birth...sometimes its annoying. I know that not good to say but its just want i feel. Theres just alot to adjust to now that i have to girls that need me all the time now. And i feel bad when im in the moods and that i just seem to yell more and then later i cry about it. But im hoping things will get better soon! Im taking pills for the pain and it seems to be helping my mood too which is weird but its good too. Im also glad i have Bryon there to help me threw things. Today was actually the first day he went back to work and i had the girls all day by myself. Some parts it was hard and part of it was cuz of my pain and when Summer would get into something or do something she's not suppose to i would have to get up and it would hurt. But i think i did pretty good i guess. I did cry when Bryon lefted for work this morning and not wanting him to leave. I really didnt think i could do it but i had no choice. I just hope tomorrow will be better when he goes to work again. It is great to be a mother of two girls but its not easy. It just takes time to get use to it.
Besides all that news... Im still hoping to take the family to the pumpkin patch before halloween. Just hoping that i can get somewhat better with the pain and same goes with Bryon. He's been having back/leg pain. He went to the doctors and they gave him pills to take. They seemed to be working alittle bit i guess. But who knows. But i know we'd have fun at the pumpkin patch. Theres a few cool things we all can do there. I also cant wait for halloween. Dress both the girls us. Im sure i told you before what they are going to be but im just going to say it again if i didnt. Summer is going to be minnie mouse and Alexis is going to be a flower. We are still not sure where we are going to go for trick or treating but i sure it will be super fun! And i will take alot of pictures for sure. I just cant believe halloween is in like a week.
After that, we are going to have to plan alittle bit of Summer's 2nd birthday! Its kinda hard to believe that she'll be 2 in 2 months. She surely acts like she is! And about a month after hers...is my 25th birthday! Thats even crazier! Hopefully we'll have some money to do something. Just kinda sucks that i dont really have any friends to celebrate with except 2 or 3. I guess all that matters that i have my little family to be there. Im just glad i wont be pregnant.
Well anyways....Im sure i have more to say but i just cant think of it at the moment like always. But I will write again soon...whenever that is! =)
Alexis a few hours after birth!

Update.........
Sorry its been awhile since i last wrote....Alot has happened. Well from the beginning... first we finally found a new home for both cats. They didnt get separated. Which is very good. And it was a very hard time for me...and somewhat for Bryon as well. Its even harder for me to see Summer not have any pets unless she visits my sister's. She has two dogs. I would say Bryon's grandma's but she got scared the last time...probably just cuz they were barking alot. But is got me ever sad....is when she found a book and saw a kitty on it and that then looked under the table where the cats used to lay. And they werent there. Sorry im in tears again. Its been pretty much a week since they've been gone. We are kinda getting use to them being not here now. But to me it still hard. Luckily the own owner said it would be ok if i email her every now and then to see how they are doing. I just have go much guilt that i had to do it but we had really no choice unless we wanted to get kicked out of the apartment. I sometimes thing....they're are probably thinking what they did wrong and why they are at this new place. Im just sure if ill ever really get over this. I know your all thinking that i will sooner or later....but i dont know. Im just worried about the depression part and then after the baby is born it will be worse...cuz i got it pretty bad last time. I dont know....im just taking it one day at a time.
ok moving on..... next would be Summer getting a toddler bed. Finally got one but only tried to get her to use it once and it didnt really go well but will keep trying and hopefully sooner or later she'll sleep it in for good. She seems to love to play on it and sit on it but not sleep on it. We also finally got the room changed to have both bed fit good in the room. So the room is looking good besides the toys every where. Got Alexis's letters up on the wall that spell her name. It looks good!
In the last week....we got the girls costumes. Alexis is going to be a flower and Summer is going to be minnie mouse. Cant wait to take them out on halloween.
And the big news is.... not this last appointment but the one before that....I had the lady doctor and she took me i was 3 cm and that i go on bedrest for the weekend and i did and then i had an appointment on tuesday and i was think same and that im going to have the baby in a weeks. So next tuesday (the 13th)...hopefully by noon...Ill have little baby Alexis! The only think that sucks is that i have to bee there at 5AM IN THE MORNING! I know im not going to sleep at all that night. I know this cuz...i normally dont go to bed until about 12 am or 1 in the morning...i dont know why i just cant sleep. So knowing me....ill be up cleaning and getting ready. Ive been starting to get nervous and thinking about it more. Im sure ill be fine but the pain and just everything. Im just hoping the medicine doesnt wear off like last time. That was one of the hardest parts. But i really cant wait until its over and im not pregnant anymore. Just trying perpare myself as much as i can. Always trying to make some kinda list. My sister ended up buying Summer a shirt that said "Big Sister" on it. Its cute. So hopefully she'll have it on when the baby is born and she comes and visits me.
For Summer.... she has been says a few more words. Just cant think of them at the moment. But she's been more.....bratty i guess you can say. She's been trying harder to make us mad by getting into things and just etc. She's a good climber now. Getting on the couch more. Its funny...the little boy next door...he's about 7 or 8 years old and he likes to come over and play with Bryon on the PS2 game and she always tries to follow him around and talk to him or his mom. Oh yeah thats her new thing now. Say hi to everyone at the store. Its so funny. For who knows her well...she more shy to people but the last time we went to walmart...she said hi to everyone. Oh and she likes to be really loud. We dont know why but she does. At least she's not crying i guess. She's just a weird little girl.
Well thats all i can think of right now....so probably the next time will probably be either the day before i get induce or after i come home with the baby. Probably before cuz ill probably wont have time to write a big long thing. So until next time.
