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!


Alexis and her daddy!


Our family!

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.

I'm 9 months today!!!!!

And I have about two more weeks to go. I went to my doctors appointment once again and He checked me again and everything was the same but i was getting very soft. He told me that i probably wont have any trouble delivery when i get induce and that it should go fast. So that what im hoping. He wants to induce me either the 10 or the 13. Im hoping the 10th but whatever happens...happens! He said he would bring me in the morning and then hopefully have the baby in the late afternoon. So thats so great! I cant wait. Ive been thinking alot more now the baby is coming very soon. Not looking forward to labor or sleepless nights but im sure ill deal with it. Ill just be happy to not be pregnant anymore and i can just get back to my normal self. Ive been telling myself i need to make a list of things either i need to do or need to go. But for the most part im set. I keep saying that i need to get the carseat base but i always manage to not get it from my moms. Oh now i remember what i was going to say....I asked about the pills im taking...i think hes going to take me off next appointment i think or maybe it was when i see him next. I have the appointment for next week with the lady thats normally there is he's not and then the one after that thursday...i will see him. Hoping i can handle it when he takes me off. The contractions do hurt sometimes. Oh so much to think about.

Other then that....we have to deal with the fact that we still have the cats. I really want them gone before the baby comes...so im hoping the ads i put out on the internet...someone will email me.

Summer is still being Summer. She's been saying a few more words that ive noticed. Still trying to find her halloween costume for cheap. And of course Im getting Alexis's at walmart. Hoping they still have her size. I cant believe Summer will be 2 in like 3 months. I almost made it threw another year. Trying to figure out her room and how im going to put her crib and her new toddler bed in the room for when its time for her to change beds. If i havent said before....Ill probably start her in her big girl bed for naps at first so she can get use to it. Summer has been so crazy lately. When we had Bryon's little party...which was great btw.... Our friends that have alittle boy....they were so funny. They would chase each other and just laugh and all that. Summer played so good. I just feel bad cuz she really never really plays with other kids. And her best friend moved away...so the other real friend she has is her little friend thats a boy. Theres other people i know that have kids....but i dont really hang out with them. I try to get together with her friend and his mom but it normally hard cuz of my being prego and being tired or im busy or she's just busy. Sometimes i feel like maybe i should put her into daycare for an hour or so...so she can play with other kids her age. I dont know. Its going to be more hard when the baby comes. I dont know....im sure we'll think of something.

Im sure i have more to say but i cant think at the moment but ill keep everyone updated!!!!

Today is not going to be my day....i can see it now. I put an ad on Craigslist.com and someone replied to it yesterday. I broke down. And the lady actually wrote me back today to come and see the cats. I told Bryon that i wouldnt be able to talk to the lady and that he would have to do it cuz it would hurt to much. And then my mom's dog mine be put down cuz of what she has. And i feel bad for Summer cuz thats the only animals she actually has and sees and plays with. Yeah she has her toys and us to play with her. But she loves her kitties. I know she would understand but still i feel guilty for doing this. But we really have no choice. I just hope the cats actually go to a good home. I just have to many worries for everything. It just hurts inside to see my cats go. And here i go crying again.

But besides all that....i had my two doctors appointments yesterday and today. Yesterday went so good. Alexis is 6 lbs and 3 oz and she had alot of hair. And today was just a check up and Im still the same and heart beat was good. If nothing happens in the next two weeks...she will most likely induce me which is going to be the third week. So it will be great. Its amazing that i actually pretty much made it to full term. It was a hard road but i did it. I just cant wait until this is over with.

With Summer...She is still crazy as can be. She loves to talk but in her language. We went to walmart yesterday and got Summer and Alexis's halloween t-shirts. They are very cute! I was thinking of getting matching ones but i didnt want to do that just yet. Even tho i really wanted too. Still need to get they're costumes. I think we are either going with minnie or princess for Summer. Mostly likely minnie mouse and im still not sure about Alexis. They had some cheap ones in the baby area at walmart that were like $8 and they did have newborn size...so i was excited there. But we'll see what they have when we go in next time. Still unsure where we're going for trick or treating. We went to Bryon's work to fax something but after we did that... Bryon wanted to see how tall she was and see if she was tall enough to go on this ride...but of course its not really a ride she would like just yet but at least we know how tall he is now. She's 33 inches tall. She's getting so big. She has a check up next month...so hopefully everything is fine when we go.

Tuesday was Bryon and I's 2 year Anniversary. For the most part the day was good. Of course we had to have our daily argument. Im surprised we've made it that far. But at the same time i knew we would. All together we've been together 6 years. Thats a long time. Well for the day...we didnt really do much. He made breakfast and used our new pancake thing we got from a friend that never used it. It worked great! But when it got to be later on....we dropped Summer off at my parents house. He took me to the beach where we love to be. The waves we so cool. They were actual waves. Most of the time when you see them here...they built up to nothing but not these ones. I go a few pictures of them. And after we were trying to figure out about dinner. We were going to go to hard rock just cuz we have there card thing...for everytime you eat or buy something there...you earn points and we had enough that added up to $20 and we were just going to use that since we were low on money but decided to not go there and go to this hotel/ resort that we were thinking about getting married at and they have some good food. It was alittle more money but it was still good. We earned it. It was nice cuz we were outside and it the sun was setting but it was getting cold. Luckily they had heat lamps. And they were willing to turn them on for us. And after dinner just went to pick up our little girl and went home. Wish it could have been alittle better if we had the money but what can we do. Hopefully next year we can afford to actually do something.

Well tomorrow is Bryon's 27th birthday and I'm trying to plan a little party for him. going to make a cake and cookies. Make a dip that i havent done for a while. But hopefully everything will turn out ok. Probably after this...try to take a nap before my mom brings Summer home and put her down for a nap and then hopefully im not to tired and clean. But we'll see how much i get down! If not today...ill do it tomorrow with everything else i have to do. =)

Well that all the news i have for now.....until next time!

Update from this morning......

At the appointment....the doctor checked me again and pretty much just said that same thing. And he said i had nothing to worry about. I just just need to keep taking the pills. He even said that if i last until 37 weeks....he'll induce me! So i was happy to here that. We also asked him about the cord blood thing and he showed us which one he did for his family and its the best price that we can afford too. So i think for sure we are doing that. So it was all good news. Going back next thursday and friday. Thursday...they are going to do a ultra sound again so im excited about that and then friday....im sure he'll probably check me again and go over the ultrasound. So i think we are going to make it to the end this time. Even tho its really hard for me...i need to do it. Just hoping i can make it! Also we asked about the weigh...and he said she's over 4 pounds....so that good. Hopefully it wont be over 7 cuz i dont know if ill be able to handle it since Summer was 6 3....but we'll see. Its also cool cuz we might be able to pick when we want to induce me. If i do get induce....hopefully it will go fast. You would think i will just cuz of me having a baby already and im already at 2 1/2 cm. I just guess we'll all see! We'll im excited...cant wait!

Sorry if it been awhile since i wrote on here. Its just be a weird few weeks. Well besides the really really hot days... our air conditioner is still being a pain and turns off when it wants too and it makes me mad. And we cant do anything about it until we do something about the cats and that only story. I was totally fine with the weather until that mad dash of heat came last week...then i feet i was on fire or something. oh well. At least it over for a while from what the news said. But about the cats....we are still figuring out if we could get rid of them. I think its just time that we could. It will be hard i know but i cant handle them and then two kids. And they are chewing on everything and getting into everything. They just drive me crazy and they are pigs i swear. They eat so much. It just sucks that we just bought a bag of cat food too and it probably going to waste unless we give them the food too. Well depends on where they are going i guess. Still trying to find a home first for them. But its not really looking that good! Hopefully things will get better with them at a new home. Saves us alittle bit of money a month i guess.

On the real news.... well i had my appointment yesterday and they told me that i was 2 1/2 cm....soooo i have another appointment today to actually see my doctor cuz yesterday he was in delivery with someone. So i got the lady doctor...which is what i like. But im on bed rest until i know anything else. Which probably means that ill probably be on strict bed rest from now on....but you know me its hard...even with a toddler running around. But what helps me it...Summer's nap times. She sleep for like 3 to 4 hours and mostly thast when Bryon comes home. But im probably going to have bryon take Summer over to my parents more if thats what it comes down too or my sisters. But i guess we'll have to see how it goes. And oh...they told me i have to drink more water cuz of protein...which i dont get it...cuz thats all i drink every day...well that and ice. So i dont know what the deal is. But its weird...that like my craving....ICE! oh well!

With me getting more dilated...its making me more nervous and scared. I dont mind going into labor its just having the baby and the after. I just hope she's in the right spot for when she does come. I see all this baby shows and you see all these things that could go wrong....and it scares you alittle. But So far the doctor say she's doing good. Heart beat is still going strong. We decided that we are going to save Alexis's cord blood...just cuz of everything that has gone on and with Summer. We just thing it would be a good thing to do for our kids just in case anything happens. Well i was thinking yesterday that its kinda cool that im dilating at home and not have to be in the hospital and have them do it. Less the drugs...the better she'll be. And if Tammy is reading this....i found that dog you gave me finally that was in Summer stack of stuff animals. I really want to take it with me to the hospital when i go into labor...cuz i know how much it helped the last time around. I dont know what it was ...but it helped me sleep alittle more and just get threw my days in the hospital. So its my good luck charm.

Anyways.... I think Summer is really into her two's already. The way she acts is unbelievable. Half the time....we have no idea why she is crying...is just so hard. Im sure it will be easier when the baby is born and i can actually handle it. But at the same time....she's so funny. Im just still trying to figure out...why or if she even knows what i say half the time. Cuz she doesnt listen to anything we say. I dont know. Her next appointment is next month...so i guess we can ask questions then. The other day we went to the park...and she had alot of fun. Try to stay back and let her do things was hard but was there when she needed me or Bryon. But she did really good. She loved that tunnel that was on it. And yesterday before the appointment...we went to the beach for awhile and it was nice but hard for me cuz im prego. But i managed. Just sat down alot and drank water. Summer went on a few rides which she probably liked. But after all that....on the way home...she fell asleep thank god. She needed one. but it was only like 15 to 20 mins tho cuz she woke up when we got the my parents to drop her off so i could go to my appointment. But this morning...im all by myself. Bryon took Summer to my moms to watch her for the day cuz of me being on bed rest and that i have an appointment. So hopefully today will go ok. And we'll see what happens.

Well better go lay down...getting alittle tired and i will let you all know what happens! See ya!

Probably sooner then we think!

Well I have this weird feeling that Alexis will be here in the next few weeks if not sooner. The contractions are coming more as far as i can tell. Im so cant wait for the appointment tomorrow to see if anything changed and everything else. I do think something has changed cuz of the contractions and that im kinda starting to feel them more in some of the contractions. I told Bryon i think we should put the hospital bags in the car. Thats how serious i think its changing. If anything...i just hope she last at least until im 32 weeks. And im so close. I have like 4 more days. What would be kinda cool...is if she did come tomorrow...it would be on my dad's b-day. Im sure that wont happen but cool to think that it could happen. Another thing I'm worried about it that my water is leaking but its probably not since ive been going potty every half hour cuz I read that could be a few reasons i get some on the contractions...that and not drink enough water (i think). So hopefully it nothing. But we'll see tomorrow.

I try so hard to keep this apartment clean...since we dont know when the baby is going to come. With Summer, all over the place...its really hard. Well at least i got Alexis's stuff all set. Thats was more important. The only thing that i want to get now is....a box of diapers. We got that little bag for when we go to the hospital but i know that wont last long. Thing im hoping i dont for get is the camera when we head to the hospital for real. Ill just have to put it in my purse when we go to the hospital just in case! =) Im like super stressed but kinda excited at the same time. I just hope everything goes normal when i actually have Alexis. I just want to hear her first cry and actually hold her since i didnt get that last time. But i guess we'll see what happens with that. The really thing im worried about is C-section. Ive been watching all this shows today where they're giving birth and one had to do c-section. And at one point...it hit me again that this is real and i could be having this baby very soon. Im sure everything will be fine but still.


I think Summer knows there something going on....cuz she been acting up more. It could be just what kids do but to me its not normal for her personality. She's acting like a 2 years old (the horrible two's) even tho she had like 4 months to go. Its weird. Im sure the eating weird in normal. She's being more picky on what she wants to eat and even drink. I just feel bad that i have to lay down alot and she has to play by herself alot. I wish there was more people i knew that had kids her age to play with. Im sure we'll think of something. Yesterday, we were going to do laundry but Bryon would have to go to the store to get change. But instead, Bryon got her piggy bank and counted out $20 and just put a 20 dollar bill in it instead and i was wondering how much she actually had in it. Well it came out to be like $92 dollars in there. This was a tiny piggy bank and I was surprised to see all of the fit in there. We might have to get a bigger one again since she broke the other one or we might just start an account and just put it in there. We'll see!

Well i have more...but its kinda boring. So until the next up date!
