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!
Alexis and her daddy!
Our family!
