Baby Charly

easter morning!

2009-04-14T16:11:00.000-07:00

Charly got up fairly early Easter morning, so we hid her Easter basket that of course was filled with candy. She woke up saw it and started clapping, then imdiatly sat down and starting putting as much jelly beans in her mouth as possible.

After she had a candy meltdown and crashed from the high we hid the Easter egg out side. We put on her Easter dress that cost us $50 and took her outside to hunt the eggs. We only hid 11 since we were down a man do to charly's hunger. Cory just put them on the ground outside,and we got her little Easter basket and took her out there. She saw her 1st egg and was hooked, she gasped and ran to it. putting in her basket like it was the natural thing to do.

Then she went around and picked up all 11, she gasped every time and was so excited she clapped and shrieked. Her basket was so heavy with the eggs that Cory tried to help her but she said"nope" and started dragging it.

then we brought her in the house took off her Easter dress and let her eat more candy,and gave her the eggs no shell this time. She eventually ate all her candy, the eggs and i even got her to eat a small taste of turkey. It was a very fun Family day, we went outside after and drew with her new chalk, we read books and played hide and seek in the house. she helped me cook roles for dinner.Days like those are never long enough...

easter eggs!

2009-04-14T15:56:00.000-07:00

This is the 1st Easter that Charly got do it all.

We cooked the eggs and she was so excited to color them, we had little plastic cups and i layed out all the paper i could find. Then took off her clothes. she did really good for a while, then she started getting impatient, she picked up 1 egg from a color and put in in the other colors. all of the eggs were broken and cracked. then i went to put the camera down and looked back at her and she was eating 1. she had the egg shell in her mouth and was spitting in out. then she was a little raptor, picking the egg out of the shell with her finger.

going to the beach!

2009-04-14T15:37:00.000-07:00

We went to Port Aransas, by padre Island, TX. My sister Mel and her son Jake came to visit TX. first in my family to come to this state, and we were so busy charly was sitting in her car seat for 5 mins and would fall asleep. We had a great time! After these pic at the beach we went to an ice cream shop, The shop had the air on full blast it was a bit cold. Charly sat on the table with her ice cream cone and shook as she licked it. She kept saying burr, over and over again between licks. Then she gave me her cone to hold while she licked it. So i felt so bad for her i went into the bathroom clogged the sink and filled it with hot water.Then i just plunked her down in it she said "ahh it was so cute.Mel went home and started talking about her trip and what do you know my parents are finally coming to visit me... These are some pics of our trip. Then there is some sunset pictures from Cory's Birthday at sea world in San Antonio, TX.

gymnastics

2009-04-14T15:27:00.001-07:00

She started going to tiny tumblers gymnastics. It is so cute she gets to do somersaults, walk on a beam, jump on a grown-up trampoline, and dive into a huge pit full of foam chunks. The entire class is age 3 and under, so all these little one are all so uncoordinated and adorable.

(of course mine is the cutest, and the smartest and gonna be a Olympic gold medal winner). look at the pictures and decide for yourself.

and after i came back to look at the blog there is a ramdom picture of chanelle? its okay she looks great..

growing up

2009-04-14T14:55:00.000-07:00

Charly is getting so big! She has no problem telling you exactly what she wants. I ask her do you want to go outside, "yep" i say you wanna change your clothes"nope" and today she told me as i turned a corner to fast in the car "Whoa Mom, Whoa".

These are random pic of my rapidly growing baby. These are some picture of her new gynmanstics outfit, then her being silly with her easter purse, and then of her reading japaneese, we want her to get into duke so she is starting early...

misc. home pictures

2009-03-07T06:03:00.001-08:00

Charly has a found a little cubby hole cupboard that is supposta be used for laundry and she loves to get in it and read her books. The other pictures are Cory once again thinking we have a boy. Charly already has batman PJ's now Cory found Superman PJ's so of course she has to have em. I have to admit they are pretty darn cute!

charly at Gran and Gramps.

2009-03-07T05:47:00.000-08:00

Charly went to visit Idaho Falls in January. There was snow everywhere and it never stopped snowing. She got to go out and help build a snow man. (k not really she just picked up a little snow and tried not to slip in it.) Then she got to play with two little dogs that she could push around unlike her big dog at home. It took almost all week for charly to warm up to everyone there. Then the last 2 days charly was comfy enough to sit on grandmas lap. Grandpa was a different story he is much harder to get used to.

Christmas!!!!

2008-12-28T11:36:00.000-08:00

Christmas morning, This year we gave her the real gifts that she could use now,unlike last years Duke University Application.

We got her a mini sofa, a radio, a big kid trike, and a potty ( more for me then her).

The pink coat is her winter coat its not cold enough her so she just gets to wear it in the house under the cool air of the AC. Christmas day it was 80 degrees, with 100% humidity. Today of course when we went out to use her big kid bike it was not that nice so she had to wear a jacket courtesy of her uncle Kenny and Aunt Julie. she was pretty excited and ready to go out for a ride and it shows in the picture.

A gift!!!

2008-11-15T19:15:00.000-08:00

You can take it however you want,if Charly being so adorable is a gift for you than that is what i mean,or we got a dress from Cory's aunt in Oregon that is also what it could mean or that maybe she is my wonderful, precious, amazing,indescribable, all my love, better than sex, its like riding a bike, chocolate on a PMs day kinda gift. I am so glad i had a girl it is like having a living whining doll.

See Cory don't need a boy he still dresses out gal in Batman, this outfit even has a cape.

Mom do ya recognize the book?

new 2nd cousin pics

2008-11-15T18:44:00.001-08:00

Hayden Timothy Howell

Welcome!

I speak for charly in saying "thank goodness I won't have to play alone"

I am defiantly not the picture of a great aunt. All great aunts have a big nose with a wart strategically placed on the tip that seems to have enlarged pours and looks a bit bubbly and it might have a few stray hairs poking out of it. Then they all have glasses that have gone out of style more than their age group ever could have worn and have a lens that has been broken and replaced more than once with a crack in the frame and if they get to excited the lens pop out, then she forces the rest of the family to spend the entire afternoon looking for the cheep scratched piece of glass. I most defiantly do not wear long straight paisley print skirts that sway from side to side in sink with my 2 ton, bigger than my top booty.

Just in case ya'll thought that the name of great aunt comes with the look I wanted to clarify that.

Texas state Aquarium

2008-11-12T19:23:00.000-08:00

11-9-08 we took a family trip to the Texas state aquarium in Corpus Christy. It was not sea world but it was really fun. Charly loved it!!!!!
There was a dolphin Show and she was clapping throughout the entire thing, then when the crowd would cheer and get excited she did to (sometime a little late),but still she cheered.
Then we went to Macy's and she got to pick out her own dress this is what she is wearing in our up coming Christmas pictures just wait it is stinkn adorable. This was a very exciting weekend and just think we have at least 17 more to go before she starts celebrating them with someone else.
We just found out today that Charly has a 2nd cousin Hayden Timothy Howell (welcome) 11-13-08.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!

2008-11-12T18:09:00.000-08:00

11-8-2008

Charly is 1 today!!

She has a beautiful black and white poke-a dot b-day dress that of course got covered in cake. During the evening we decorated the living room, with 50 balloons, streamers, and stars. She woke up and walked into the living room, her eyes got very wide and she started to clap. Then she ran over( since she has to run everywhere, walking is for amateurs) to the pile of balloons and tried to bite em. It only took her a second or two to see the gifts and start to tear at the paper. I had to slow her down until the rest of the house got up so they could see her open them to. She doesn't waste any time, a girl know a gift when she sees one...

trick- or- sweet

2008-11-03T19:02:00.000-08:00

Charly's 1st Halloween,

The last first Holiday, she will be 1 soon and the first will be over. We took her trick or treating,it was so cute she was snow white and in a adorable little costume. She was walking all over the place up and down the street. Everybody was commenting on how stinkin cute she was, she was so into it that she would automatically leave one house and go to the next waving and smiling at the people giving away candy. Then at 1 house she said "thank You" to the lady giving her candy. Her bucket got really full and thought it was kinda heavy but she only dropped it once, after she had gotten pretty tired. We got in the car and she dug into it, a sucker in 1 hand and smarties in the other.

Posing for her B-Day Invites.

2008-11-03T18:40:00.000-08:00

I dressed her up in 3 different outfits, I tried to get the perfect picture to put on her birthday invites. I think we took 50 pic with 3 wardrobe changes and only got these pictures to show for it. the rest were her crying, walking toward me or playing. I think i am getting pretty good at taking pictures on the move. We finally did get one put to a card and i mailed them out on Thursday.Oct 30Th.

my pun kin & her pumpkin

2008-10-27T17:59:00.000-07:00

Last night Charly carved her very own pumpkin. At first Cory took a small amount of pumpkin guts and tried to get her to touch it. She was not having any of that and tried to run around his legs to get away from it, the entire time screaming in panic. Then I gave her a touch and she was sucked in for life, she then realized it was fun to smush it and of course eat. The pumpkin was so small i was having a hard time getting my hand into it but her little hand fit perfectly. It was a perfect Charly size punkin.

cookies in a pan

2008-10-09T19:37:00.000-07:00

I made no bake cookies and after Charly emptied out all my pots and pans from the cupboard i took off her clothes (since it is easier to clean the kid than the kid and the clothes) and put the pan in front of her it was so cute and funny and she loved it I am a super hero at least in the eyes of one little person...

11 months

2008-10-09T19:15:00.000-07:00

I am sorry our life was very hectic with us moving back to Texas and we missed the post for her 10 month we also missed our wedding anniversary. We were in a motel in I think Cortes Co. when Cory get out of the shower and says ,"Tiff ya know what day it is?" I say "ya Friday!", He says "no it's Saturday and the date is the 20Th." I swear it took me a whole 5 mins to figure out why he cared that it was Saturday September 20th. So our 5th year was spent in to different vehicles and driving across the U.S. Charly is here I have never thought a 11 month old would be excited about seeing her stuff(toys, crib, blankets.) She had many bad nights in awful hotel and many bad days in the hot sticky car seat. So far we like the area it warm, and sunny and we have hardly any bugs, I like my job way better than crappy Wal-Mart. Charly is getting so big she still isn't walking on her own, even though she can. Her vocabulary is very large for a infant i think anyway.She say pretty, dogie, Nana momma,Dada (of course), grandma, thank you, and she is picking up new ones everyday i told Cory to stop cursing or she will be saying those to.

These are picture of my 2 best Friends and Melanie's Baby Tallie, Charly and her share the same b-day. the pictures were taken on the 2nd day of our journey to Texas.

9 months

2008-08-20T21:58:00.000-07:00

Charly unbelievably has hit her 9 months........

We took her to the Doctor and got her shots. The entire time she is lying on the table all stiff then the nurse came in a tried to give her the shot. She grabbed Cory's shirt and yelled DADADADA trying to make him pull her away from the nurse when they stuck it in and she truly showed the power of her little lungs. The good news was she is 29 3/4 inches and 17lbs 13oz. She is in her 95 percentile for her height and 26 percentile for her weight. We are all hoping she is like her Dad tall, athletic and thin, not like her mom short fat and uncoordinated. The doctor asked Cory if she can say DaDa and as if she was asked to respond she right on cue said "dada",the Doctor was tickled and amazed at her brilliance.(told you she was the smarted baby, or did i say cutest, well it doesn't matter and she is the, "" ever.) Then she has 8 teeth poking out all at the same time.(ouch) This is her celebratory outfit. size 12 outfit and it fits. the she has little Nike on. my gosh the whole out fit is so so so so cute.

Family Reunion

2008-08-20T21:29:00.000-07:00

We spent $8.00 on just a hat, then we had to find a dress that matched the hat. the next set of pictures we the reunion, Aunt Wendy get her really dirty. sat her in the dirt and just casually pick the rock out of her hands as she tried to eat em'. (look at her sleeping so cute)

day off

2008-08-20T21:02:00.000-07:00

The best part of my day!
This is when i don't have to chase her around the house.
She looked so peaceful i just had to bust out the camera.

July 4th

2008-08-20T20:41:00.001-07:00

This is just another 1st holiday.

We went to the oregon coast in Seaside. There was about 50,000 people there and fireworks everywhere. You will never guess that it was chilly and windy (amazing huh the Oregon Coast cold?) I was playing in the ocean and Cory was laying on a blanket with charly to keep her warm. Then we went home and changed charly thats why she is necked and in a box then we lit our own fireworks. The entire neighborhood lit their fireworks until 2:00 am and Charly liked theirs much more than our little $10.00 box.

Zoo

2008-07-21T12:32:00.000-07:00

Charly's 1st zoo! Portland Zoo charly, her cousin Crystal and me spent the day at the zoo. luckily on 1 of Portland's nice days. we took the tram there and when we got off the train it was under ground in a tunnel with time line of animals painted on it and it was freezing. you could feel the train coming and going before you even saw it, it created a cold wind. we were there for 4 hrs and charly slept 1 1/2 of it.

Summer dayz

2008-07-21T12:02:00.000-07:00

Charly's first time in the swimming pool and at first it was kinda cold then she started kicking her feet and frog swimming. Now she goes when we are home and loves it. Its like a giant bathtub and then the neighbor kids get in and she get really excited...

The other pictures are her just posing like normal, all you have to do is put a cute little outfit on her and its like she know then she just starts posing. SO CUTE.......

self feeding

2008-06-12T11:17:00.000-07:00

1st time trying to feed her self. it was so cute and funny and she only choked once. she is the cutes baby........

1st time on the oregon beach

2008-05-28T17:40:00.000-07:00

These are video's taken on Charly's first ocean experience. Her eyes were beautiful on the beach,her and grandma went out in the cold ocean water I tried to run out of it but the blasted Arctic water got me. We have some photos so that I am putting on the blog in-case there are people out there (like Mac Users) so you can at least look at the pictures. The cutes one is when we put Charly in the sand she wasn't sure what to make of so she kept trying to jump up and spread her legs very far apart trying not to touch the sand it was so funny and cute.

"if you can't control 'em put em in a box"

2008-05-28T17:21:00.001-07:00

She was so fascinated by this box and she kept kicking at it, so i put her in it and this was her babysitter for 30 mins or so.

6 month visit

2008-05-28T16:57:00.000-07:00

The morning after her Doctor visit.

I gave her a piece of licorice and she loved it. then of course made a huge mess. Then i wanted to take her pictures with the blanket that grandma Howell made for her. The Doctor visit went ummmm. as good as a poke in the eye with a sharp stick can be. Her height was 26 3/4 inches and weight was 14.75 and her head was 33 centimeters. Then they gave her the 6 month shots, that was like her first ones all over again. Dr D came into the room and Charly started screaming he said its stranger anxiety, usually not seen until around the 1st birthday but i guess she gets it early. So she was already screaming from Dr. and now they have to poke her in the leg. I was so horrible that it was all i could do to not pick her up and comfort her. After the nurse with the pokies left i just grabbed her up didn't put her clothes back on and put her in teh car seat. That night was a mess she had a temperature of 103 numerous times through the night. and the good thing is I get to do it all over again in 2 months.

Friends Forever

2008-04-24T19:44:00.001-07:00

Tallie Shanck and Charly rose Hunsaker. Born both the same day. Thursday November 8th 2007, Tallie was born at 5:15am and Charly was born at 5:13pm. so Tallie is 11hours and 58 minutes older. When I was in the hospital giving birth to Charly my best friend of 20 yrs was giving birth to Tallie,then on Saturday I called to tell them the joyous news and Adam my best friend Melanie's husband said"you have a baby " I said "yes" he said "so do we". She was born 2-3 weeks early the timing is amazing I hope they can have a wonderful life enjoying each others friend ships like their mothers did and will continue to do...

Charly's Baby Blessing.

Mom made the dress and it was so cute, it took many hours and many stitches. I am going to put it in a shadow box in her room.

It was held in Idaho falls at the clover dale church and there was many friends and family there. Thanks all.....

Dad gave the blessing and it was wonderful. there was uncle David ( who made her scream like a little girl the day before), Uncle Jon, Jerry, Cousin Tim and many other men from dad's church. David put her to sleep before we went there and she sleep in his arms almost an hour then she woke up right at the beginning of the blessing and reached straight up to grab the closest biggest thing,It just happened to be Dad's nose, then afterwords David couldn't move his arm or so he says however he still found his arms able to move to eat. Howell's can always eat. ( better get used to holding a little one again.)

Birth Story 2 of 3

2008-01-02T16:06:00.000-08:00

They layed me flat on my back and they docs and nurses kinda just hung out for a while to make sure they got it in the right place and i wasn't paralyzed( thank goodness). The anasteziologiest was being paged and he looked at me and said I am with a patient and each patient get 15 min of my undivided attention( prob to make sure he did it right) then it happened. I felt all warm and tingly and no pain just slightly numb. With in seconds i was the happiest person in the hospital or maybe in the world at that point. Then after the Doc saw everything was fine he left. I told him he was the closest thing i have ever experience to GOD.
I looked at the clock for the 1st time in hours and saw that it was 1:45 wow the last time i saw the time was before masses of contractions and it was 10:30 I had been at this for quite some time hurray for me!!!! Cory and his mother decided to let me rest,go get some food, and take a break from the stillness of the room. I watched TV for about 30 min (not realizing that the 30 min of TV time was the last 30 i will ever have to my self) when they came back and showed me the purchases they made from the hospital gift shop.Cory bought a wish snowman that open at the top and you put your wishes in it and Verna bought a glass pacifier.
As we watched the contraction monitor and i felt so relieved that i didn't have to feel those awful pains anymore , then out of nowhere i started to feel something, i wasn't sure if it was a real pain or if my poor overworked brain was just remembering the pains i was having only 45short min ago. Just then i felt another and another and i soon realized that the beloved epidural was no longer working. In a flash the pain was back, i was pumping that button like it was my tongue air pump to make me run faster on my elementary Reebok shoe, but nothing was happening, i told Cory "get the nurse" in a frantic tone.
Summer came into my room and checked me I was 10 centimeters dilated and it was time for Charly to See the world. I told her "give me something for the pain"! she told me the worst news i had all day (up to that point) the only pain relief you are going to get is to get his baby out.
I started to panic as the pain became much worse than it was before the damn epidural.
I was thinking after the birth was over ( there was not much thinking during the birth) that i believe it would have been not only financially better but physically better not to have had the damn thing in the 1st place it only let me think for a brief moment that this was going to be easy.
So the birth begins and nurse summer tells me we are going to prepare you for the delivery.
I wanted this to be a shared moment with just Cory and myself as we welcomed out new baby into the world so the nurses told Verna she needed to wait out in the waiting room and they would get her when Charly was finally here.
Things kinda happened very quickly for everything but Charly from that point on. !st the Nurses call for the Dr, then they bring in the bed for charly to lay her pretty little head for the 1st time ever and they start preparing the warm towels and blankets. Then the attention was directed back to me. Okay said Summer grab you knees with your hands bring your chin to your chest and when you feel a contracting you push. I did as i was told and some relief came to me doring the contraction it actually felt better to push during a contraction than to just breath through it. So there i was Pushing when i felt stuff come out some water was laking so was some poo, now i think about it and um gross then however i couldn't care any less. I did this for ever when they decided that Charly was in a breech position and i needed to lay on my side so she would turn.They turned me on to my right side and it took both nurses and Cory for me to turn i believe at that point i had no control of my body. Oh my gosh that made the pain so much worse......
I didn't even want to put my leg down after a contraction cause it hurt way too bad,so there i was laying in bed with my butt, front bum and boobs just hanging out and ya know what i didn't care in the slittest. (Amazing) Now because of the pain after a contraction i have my leg being helped up by Cory so if you were in the front you defiantly got a full view. thank goodness Verna left cause i imaging it would have been a site.
I pushed and push for 2 day it felt like and nothing was happening in fact the nurses were just caring on a conversation about a movie they was and i was lying in that bed dying i wanted to tell them what the hell cant you see i am dying dying dying...
Just to add to the pain of this entire experience i got the heartburn, and i got it bad with each contraction i felt the entire contents of my stomach trying to come up just then i thank my dr for telling me to not eat for a while before i came in. I was trying to ride it out like i had done so many times before, but this wasn't like before this was my insides tring to come out and if they couldn't come out the hole down below provided they were gonna come out my mouth. I told the nurse help me i have pure acid creeping up my throat, she ran out of the room ( i almost felt bad cause she was about to tell the other nurse the plot to the "best movie she had seen in many years". She came back into the room with a small brown cup looked like a butter cup you get at Denny's when you order toast. She said this stuff tastes awful but it will for sure help i told her i don't care about tastes give it to me. I took the biggest sip i could from the butter cup in between contractions and once that flavor hit my tongue i could have stood up and walked out of there it was so overwhelming that it made me briefly think out that amazingly indescribable taste instead of the pain. I handed it back to her and said thanks but i will live with the heartburn.they should give that to coma patients i bet they would wake up and walk right out like nothing happened. Summer asked me if i wanted to finish the rest and i guess the look that i gave her said 1000 words cause she threw it down and apologized. I have no idea what time it is now or how long i Had been doing this laborious task( great name for it by the way, labor is what i do at my job all day giving birth is something i could most diffidently not do everyday),but they finally let me roll over back onto my back and the pain let up a tiny bit, the Dr came in a checked me again and said okay now we can Begin the real pushing ( what!!!!!!! i don't know where he had been but i had been pushing for hours) I just thought to my self "self this is about to get a whole heap worse".

Charly's 1st Christmas...

2008-01-02T15:39:00.000-08:00

Charly's first Christmas. We went to the Coast, next year we are going to the snow.She was so excited and alert like she knew she was getting presents. We didn't actually buy her anything all the gifts there are from Grandma Hunsaker, Aunt Margie and cousins. The Things we got for her are the Stanford and Duke university applications and resource books. In the Pictures she defiantly shows witch one she prefers. When we got home from the Newport there was another pamphlet in the mail that said early Duke regristration is December 28Th. ( we were wondering how early we can register, we can make it by the 28Th, for the fall of 2025.) The mail also contained her Yale application and resource book it just didn't make it to us before Christmas.

Duke University is where the t.v show host on (O.P.B channel) Charlie Rose graduated. So it is kinda set in stone so far. We just gotta make sure she gets a scholarship cause 45,000 a year is a bit much for us.

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.

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

2007-12-18T09:27:00.000-08:00

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

2007-12-18T09:10:00.000-08:00

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!!!!!

2007-11-14T23:17:00.000-08:00

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

2007-11-11T14:16:00.000-08:00

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.

After charly

2007-11-10T18:45:00.000-08:00

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!

2007-11-10T18:42:00.000-08:00

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

Thanks Ladies!!!!

Tuesday Oct 30th

2007-11-06T08:28:00.000-08:00

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

2007-10-23T18:19:00.000-07:00

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.

2007-10-17T18:27:00.000-07:00

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!!!!

2007-10-02T18:01:00.000-07:00

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

2007-10-02T17:59:00.000-07:00

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

2007-09-18T21:00:00.000-07:00

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

2007-09-18T20:32:00.000-07:00

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.!!

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 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

2007-08-20T17:42:00.001-07:00

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 know I know this is tacky

2007-08-18T21:29:00.000-07:00

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.

Pregnancy

2007-08-17T15:34:00.000-07:00

Hello,
This is the site dedicated to the "belly".
I am experiencing all new things that I never thought could happen to a human body.
This may get descriptive and is intended for a mature audience.
Don't worry I will also post pictures of the "belly" necked and clothed (no silly I'm not necked, just the belly is).I guess we will start at the beginning. One night in February my wonderful husband Cory and I layed down (not that descriptive) some new carpet in our apartment then went to McDonald's for a $99 burger (cause we are poor).
At the restaurant we discussed the prospect of a new baby, little did we know the ideas were more than just ideas we were already in it for the long haul.
I decided I no longer wanted to work for the wonder world of wal-mart and Cory had just got a new job at Nutrition Now, a vitamin manufacturer in Vancouver Washington. ( no I live in Portland, Oregon). So I called in sick for 4 days while I went to interviews in search for new and better job. On Monday Mar 5th I called in sick for what I thought was my last day,and Cory went to for for his first day.
I didn't have a car but it doesn't matter, cause in Portland we live next to a bus stop and many stores, so i walked down to fred meyers to pick up some lunch for myself. I was walking around the store that they were currently remodeling and I ran across a full shopping cart of pregnancy test and condoms (yea i know its funny combo in a cart huh!). I just had this sudden thought that it has been a while since i had a visit from Aunt grunt, so i grabbed a test and laughed about it as i went through the checkout.
I made my way back home thinking about the odd feeling I had.
I finally got in my house after walking 10 miles up hill both ways and with no shoes, so of course after a 8 hr shift of walking I had to visit the latrine. I grabbed the test and tried to aim for the stick the size of a needle and not get any more on my hands.
I set the stick on the sink and finish the doodies. I stood up washed my urine covered hands, and with out even reading the directions for the color code,I saw the bright Blue lines making a plus sign , I new I was prego.
I had a moment of panic where it was like a over dramatic movie scene and I dropped to my knees and dry heaved once or twice. Then as if it never happened I graped my running shoes and ran the 10 miles (this time it was downhill both ways) back to the store. I graped just 1 more test and ran to the back of the store to the bathrooms, and of coures there is a little 200 yr old lady who just ate a high fiber diet of prunes and laxatives in the single stall bathroom. I was thinking doesn't this lady know that pooping her pants was very low on the scale of importance when it comes to seeing that plus sign again was. Finally after me contuning to pound on the door and the extreme explicits I was shouting through the door, she scurried out of the bathroom.I ran in with my pants down to my knees about ready to do the test in the hallway and peed on the stick in a frantic pushing panic I wasn't much concerned on hitting the target i just wanted to get the results back.
And there is was in the middle of the fred meyer store in Downtown Portland I saw (what is now the most wonderful plus sign I have ever seen ) at that time I just saw a plus sign with no emotion attached to it.
I mosied on back home and waited for Cory to get home from work. Then about 5:00 Cory came in and was so excited about his job that I put my day on hold. We needed to get new telephones so we headed to the mall and started shopping and for a while i forgot about the growing being in my belly.
On the way home form the mall we needed to get some diner so we stopped at the same fred meyer where I previously sent a old lady into a heart attack. I told him I needed to pick up more more item and went right over to the pregnancy test (i knew i needed to prove it to him and also i was still in disbelief) As i picked It up he said "really" I just shrugged my shoulder and proceeded to the check out line.
We got home after riding in the car in extreme silence, we went in and he pointed to the bathroom and then came in with me. Now imagin this:aiming my pee on a thin needle, while trying to avoid my hands,in the middle of a tiny room, stressed out and your husband sitting on the edge of the tub after his very first day of work, with sweat beads dripping down his head, more pit sweat then a construction worker and looking at you with the eye of, if you miss one drop were doing it aging, is not pressure i don't know what is. I wasn't ever sure i could squeeze any urine out. Sure enough after what felt like a eternity we slowly looked at the stick and there is was the bright blue plus sign shining out like the star of David.
Cory started to cry and then so did I then he hugged me and said through a croaky voice "were having a baby.".........
