This is the most wonderful Doctor, Dr Dyson. He made her get out! without going straight to a c-section, which i think a younger and less experienced doc would have done that. He worked about 25% as hard as i did during labor to get her out. I know i saw a little sweat on him after deliver( or it was a little fluid from me), I like to think it was sweat.

Old to New

The First picture of her crying is the same day we brought her home form the hospital. The rest of the pictures are her posing for the camera in the same yellow outfit but i just wanted to see the difference in size and sure enough she is growing. I am not sure if i have ever seen a cuter baby.

Christmas Special

If Pic doesn't say I'm a girl nothing does.
This is her Christmas dress and she loves to wear it i am not sure if its the material or the fact that she is just gonna be a girly girl and loves that its a dress. I put it on her and she stops fussing and touches all over it.
I got this white dress as a gift from my friend Racheal, Thanks rach it so fricken cute. I got the red one as a gift from my friend kris during the baby shower. I think she is thinking.She is already a poser for the camera.

thanksgiving

So This is Charly's 1st thanksgiving or holiday, and she was lucky enough to have both grandparents there.

we bought her a new born outfit for the occasion. All newborn outfits are to big for her i guess they are made for babies that start out at least 8-9 lbs cause all her clothes are too big.

Thanks mom for the wonderful dinner it was perfect... I'm sure charly loved it too!

Charly in all her beautiful poses. I think she is finally drying out and getting her good looks(from me Of course).However we are lucky she has cory's big toe, his eyelashes and calming personality.

Charly's first week at home.

At home pictures, The difference in her swollen head from the Hospital until now is amazing.She now is the real beauty queen that I see everyday. This ladies and gents is the worlds cutes baby.

charly!!!!!

leaving from the hospital in her first outfit. This outfit was gave to her from gramdma hunsaker for going home. This is a newborn size and it drowns her. Thats was she is so happy in this picture.

Top picture, Charly in her Mini hospital bed wrapped up in the best swaddle ever, and since I left the hsopital and the wonderful nurses i have not been able to get the that swaddle again. I wish i could have one of them at my house for a personal baby care.

Middle picture, Charly very soon after delivery and the first time i got to be with her with out the doctors and nurses pokin and prodin.

Baby charly's poor head right after delivery.

This is the result of the vacume used by Dr. Dyson in the final attempt to get her out.

birth experience 1of 3

This story may get graphic, if I describe is how it actually happen it may be disturbing.

I checked into Providence hospital at 7:30 am on Thursday November 8Th, to be induced.
I was shown around to room number 9. I don't even remember the hallway, the directions we turned, or the colors of the hospital, the only thing i was thinking was (well i wasn't thinking just scared).

Then they took me to into the room where I will labor, deliver and recover all in the same room. they gave me the butt showing gown and told me to get naked and in the bed, which I didn't realize at the time that was the most horrible bed i will or have ever layed in. The original bed in the room was a surgery bed used for c-sections but after they asked me if i was scheduled for a c-section and i energetically shook my head "no" they replaced the bed with the bed nightmares are made of.

Then the wonderful labor and delivery nurse Summer(who was as wonderful as a summer breeze, in San Angelo, Texas during late august), got me all comfy in the bed and told me about the process in which I was about to take part (willingly/stupidly). I answered many questions about my past health and about my family and about how the earth was made, (which i think was all a ploy to keep your mind off the pending process), then finally they came at me with a huge IV needle which Cory says was the biggest needle he had ever seen in his life (pre epidural).

I had never had any medical procedures in my 27 years of life and now lucky me i get to experience it all in 1 day. Then they flicked my vein and tied it off like a heroin junky(not that i know what junkies do) and jammed a #2 pencil in my wrist. After they took 2 liters/ syringes (who's counting) of blood from me they set up my drip bag of much needed fluids, and pain in a bag called pitocin. Across the room Cory looked a little pale and at that point i wasn't sure if he would make it through the entire process. Hell, I was still optimistic and thought it would be easy, if millions of single 14 and up years olds can do this many times over then I would be a cake walk. HAHAHAHAH.

At 8:30 am Dr Dyson came in to the room and said spread em.... He tried to touch my rib cage from the inside and then got this huge white 2 feet long Crockett hook and poked it well ya know where he poked it. Then goooooossssshhhhhhh!!!! Niagara falls was now in my room, I wasn't sure if I was peeing or well I don't know what else i would be doing down there but it was not a natural feeling. The water just kept coming out draining and draining, I guess there is an entire liter in there, who would have thought! The water had maconium in it, this is the first problem in the beginning of a long tramatic day.All was well at this point and all Cory and I could do was be happy smile and think of what our precious little charly was gonna look like. As Cory and I laughed and had conversation the water just kept coming out, it was a little..... or alot gross. I thought about peeing just to say i peed the bed then I could have at least a little of each body fluids left in the delivery room. At 9:00 am my wonderful nurse summer came into the room and increased my pitocin drip from 2 -4 and just then i felt them....

The first serious contraction, I thought "so far so good I can handle these, it feels like a menstrual cramp on the first day of a bad period".Cory and I just sat and relaxed watching TV, and day dreaming. Then at 9:30 the nurses came back in and increased the pit drip from 4-6 and wham i felt em, still not so bad that i couldn't keep my head on, just getting more intense with each contractions. I could tell the second that the nurses increased the pit drip cause a doozy of a contraction would creep up on me. Summer asked me if i had thought about pain management? I told her i wanted an epidural, and if i can go through this labor process with out pain than that's good for me. When they increased the pit to a 6 they asked me if i was ready for a epidural? I told them no I was on top of the pain at that point. This was my first mistake, i should have taken it when it was offered. For all of you reading this with out the wonderful birthing experience this is the 1st rule to remember, If pain meds are offered take em!!!!! All of a sudden out of nowhere about 10:30 am I was breathing deep and tyring to remember all the blasted things they taught me in my waste of $ childbirth education class. I was in with the nose and out with the mouth breathing and closing my eyes trying to shut out he pain. Then Dr Dyson came in to check on my progress, i was dilated to a 4 and 100% efface. Charly's heart beat was a little to sporadic and the contractions were a little to strong for the progress being made during that time. Doc decreased the pit drip to 4 and ya know ,that didn't decrease the pain at all, in fact at that point i was in a perfect contraction rhythm and steadily increasing. I was holding/squishing Cory's thumb between the bed railing and my hand and i was squeezing as hard as i think i could. The contractions were the worst pain at that point i have every felt in my life, at that point. I thought i couldn't do it anymore and i was thinking with every contraction " if i have one more contraction I am gonna puke." The pain was almost unbearable.... I found out later that i just about dislocated Cory's thumb.He don't need that thumb anyway that's just an extra finger. He was my hard place and i needed him to be by my side and holding my hand throughout the entire process. I told Cory to call the nurse about 11:00 am and get me some relief..

Summer came into the room checked me and said she would call for the anathzologist to start my epidural. The contractions just kept building and building and Cory's thumb kept swelling and swelling. The at 1:00 pm the Anatizeologist came in and prepared his tools of small peacefulness on his table. He had Cory come around to face me and help me sit up on the edge of my bed with my back facing the Doc and all hunched over my belly in the most uncomfortable position along with extreme contractions FUN! Cory came over to my front and proceeded to hold my arms. The Doc said "no he needs to sit down, he did a epidural one time and the husband was holding his wife then the monster of a epidural needle came out the Husband passed out banged his head and died, so I need him to sit down." Thne as I watched cory's eyes get bigger than I had ever seen eyes get I felt the pressure of the needle. Then I felt a contraction and everyone is yelling at me to hold very still. I just watned to yell back " you try to hold still while a bulldozer plowing into your stomach", but i did and the needle was out the plastic covering was going on and the nurses were helping me to lay down flat and wait for the miracle drug to kick in.

offical baby charly first internet pictures

baby charly

7lbs 03 oz

13 in head

20 in long.

The first picture with the pink blanket was taken on friday afternoon around 2:00 she still had some major swelling on her head and face.

the second Picture was taken on saturday evening around 6:00 p.m. the swelling was much less and she looks even cuter.

After charly

This is the same outfit I wore to the hospital to get charly out and now I am wearing it again home to show how much space little charly took up. I am a little disapointed that i have any fat flab left i was hoping i would come home wearing a size 6 even thought i was a size 12 before i got prego with her but she is a miracle and since miracles happen everyday a size 6 is completly fathomable..

I was wishing everyday to get her out thinking how much more comfortable i would be........

hahahhahaha I think i prefer her inside than the pain i am feeling right now. I would rather have heartburn, not being able to eat, and not roll over cause right now i can't do anything anyway.

last one!

11-8-07

The last big belly picture with charly inside.

This is 6:00 am and we are very anxious to get to the hospital and get her here. I can't believe in 10 hrs from this picture she is here with us and cute as a button.....

I got tons of things and not enough room on this page to show it all.

Thanks Ladies!!!!

Tuesday Oct 30th

I gained weight!!!

I thought at this point you would start losing it.

I am now at 17 total lbs, she better weight like 10 pounds and the left over 7 pounds are gonna be found in my boobs.

I am more than ready to get her out, i wanna see what kind of beautiful person my husband and i can create and of course i wanna be comfortable again.

All my life up until recently I thought people who got heartburn were whiners and weak, thinking "just get over it, just burp and get it out" but now i feel terrible for ever thinking that. So for all those people i ever said that to or thought that about, I AM SO SORRY!

I Still have not had any action, no dialation and no thinning, basically i have created such a nice house for her that she can't figure out why? she would ever wanna come out. Doc. Dyson said in the office on tuesday that we can set up a time to be induced on thursday the 8th. I didn't have much of a reaction but i turned around and looked at Cory and his mouth was hanging open like the mask on the scream movie. He couldn't figure out why no one else had a reaction. He just kept studdering ,so we are gonna have her on thursday, so she is gonna come out on thursday ah! Tiff we're having her on thursday. hahah he is so funny and panics so easy.

Then i asked the Doc if he thought charly was bigger than normal and his response "well i don't think she's huge." Wowwy thanks for that Doc that clairifed alot. I gotta run the tile in the bathroom has mildew on it.

board, boring, blah

Everyday is a new and exciting......(J/K) is a very boring day, I have to get up everyday and watch TV. I have a very close relationship with maury, and all them po' ladies who just can't seem to find the daddies to there 8 kids. I also think i have seen as many boobies as I can handle all shapes and ages on the Jerry show, thank goodness for that so I don't get scared when i see my own saggies at 69yrs old, see mom some of the programs I watch are still educational.
I am very prego and very aware of it everyday. I can't sleep since everytime I roll over my internal organs move making me a little sick, then I can't eat since all food is evil and makes me blow fire, then I do also think I have rented another small apartment in side mine called the bathroom.
I have still not gained anymore weight and Dr. Dyson says i may even loose some since it is common in the last few weeks.
I have no dialation, no thinning, and no sign of labor anytime this week.
Oh well one more week of baby inside.

36 weeks

10-18-07

Yes,

I am still prego..

I still have only gained 15 lbs so far.

I must have lost lottsa my fat cause Dr. Dyson

said I am bigger than normal.

I don't know if that means I'm gonna have a 10 lbs baby or if i am just luck enough to me very fat or if I am farther along than he thinks I am.

I have no dialation, and no thining. Yeah just one more week of no movement.

I am getting very tired and just thinking last night that 1 month ago I was scared to death of the delivery now i am very excited to get her out and have my body back to me!!!!!

The thought of being able to sleep in any position without the aches of turning over..

One of these pictures will be the last one of me and then its nothin but her..

The 1st and only full body shot ever!!!!

Disreagard the messyness of the house behind me and focus on; well actually go ahead and focus on the mess and disregard the bulgyness in front of you.
I know its hard to believe i have only gained 15 lbs but that just tells ya how much i weight before the pregnancy. I am hoping that after the baby is born i loose like 25-30 lbs. Is that possible?
4 weeks left Yippee and HOLY SH*& !!!!!

the first and only full body shot you will ever get

final count down............ danaa naa naa da na na na na

(everytime I think the final count down i hear the music with it. go ahead rock out a sec..)

35 weeks
TWG- 15lbs
I saw Dr. Dyson today and Charly is head down and her little head is about 2 1/2 inches wide. To bad they don't stay that small delivery sure would be easier.
I already knew she was head down before i went to see the doc cause every night around 7-8 o'clock she sticks her hyper active booty out the left side or the right side and sometimes both sides very quickly like she is sitting on a slippery surface grabbing the sides and spinning around faster and faster. I have to admit I am fricking out a little now!!!!
In this pic I have to hold up the pants cause if not the viewer would get more shot then they bargined for. Belly growing bigger and taking the butt from the backside to the front.

some more gifts from us to her

One is the pack in play/ playpen/ changing table/ bassinet.

called cherry blossom, it plays music, vibrates and has a cute little flower Mobil decoration.

The next one is her coat. its a coat and its so cute.

The other is so friggen funny cause as said best by Patrich Swazy "nobody puts baby in the corner". hahaha saw it as the store and had to get it. Those people who are siting in a tiny room puting catchy little, women snager slogans, on cheep oneies are making a lot of money off me and many other women that just can't seem to pass them up.. Damn hormones.

background

back ground is the focal point this time.

Do ya see my only real artist picture ever purchased. We purchased this in the market in downtown San Antonio, Cory thought it reminded him of us. I am the wild foundation one on the bottom and he is the stable uncertain one on the top and this is the story of our life... We purchased this from a street vendor and now in order for this picture to go up in value we just need the artist to well uh..(go to god/die), sad but true. Actually this is all a ploy to get the focus off my growing stomach and ever growing stretch mark. yeah mom I guess its not genetic. You would think with my constant weight fluctuation throughout my life my skin would have been done stretched out enough, but pregnancy is different HUH! My poor husband is having the hardest time i think dealing with the teddy bear fuzz he crawls into bed with each night, I cant see above my knees, If i can't shave it all the way, why shave at all? HAHAHAH.!!

30 weeks

Total weight gain: 13 lbs ( i have a constant craving now for chocolate milk and they haven't yet made a lowfat)

Big difference from 2 weeks ago I fill about how I look, very full! I never relized why my dad always grunted when he bent over to tie his shoe or put on a sock. NOW I KNOW!!!! It's an automatic responce to your inerds being squished. The air in your body get suddenly pushed out it has to go somewhere in my dads case 50 % of the time it was a grunt from the mouth and 50% it was a grunt from the butt. Fortunatly the only grunting I am doing is from the mouth. I have a feeling with the steadly increasing size of my enlarging mid section I may suddenly underswtand why I am my fathers daughter..

I start my 2 weeks visit

next appointment is labor day.

I believe i have officially popped. more and more people are commenting that they didn't even know i was pregnant now however there is no dening it.

Look closely very closely.............

Yeppers there it is, the nasty red indentation on my beautiful hairy belly.(oxymoron)

I have a stretch mark. i thought for sure that i was already fat enough before that i wouldn't get any of those nasty little belly curses. Okay now its getting to a new level and i'm not very excited about the next skin distaters yet to come.

LOTSA BLOOD

I had a very traumatic experience today.

Cory tried to take my blood, thinking he could save us some money......

Actually I went to the doc today 3 more lbs gained totaling 10 total...

8-20-07 28weeks

I drank the dreaded cocktail, and to tell ya the truth it wasn't that bad.I had a icee machine that i purchased when i had that craving. So i grind down some ice and put the lemon lime drink right on top of it. tasted just like a summer sweet limon icee. I got a bit shaky and felt like i just down a pot of coffee, but i held it down. I got to the doctors and they made me wait for 1 hr before they took my blood, I don't think it was intentional cause they didn't waste any time sticking me with a huge needle. the nurse pulled out the needle and quickly put a small piece of gauze that i assure you was once white. then placed a small child scrap size band aid on the now oozing hole in my arm. the pressure began to build and then like the sound of a small water balloon popping it sent a stream of crimson blood streaming to my wrist. I thought briefly "i 'm not sure this is right", then i went to grab the nurse. I guess to them it was no biggy, so she chuckled quietly and wiped up the mess saying, "better get used to this honey, there is alot more of this scene in the delivery room" yikes!!!!!

I

I know I know this is tacky

8-10-07

26 weeks

I went to the Doc and he gave me the dreaded puke in a bottle. Maybe I am just hearing all the bad stuff associated with the sugar test. Is there any good?

my work shirts are getting smaller i think when i reach up the entire world can see the belly hair, i guess is could be worse they could get a glimpse of my butt hair.. The Doc told me the hair will go away after delivery thank goodness cause if ya ever felt unattractive to your husband trying adding that insecurity to the hairy beast we like to refer to as "the belly"

weight gain at this point is very shocking 7lbs

I know at some point I the weight will catch up to me and the 50 lbs will show up in the shape of a Suzy Q.
