Estrogen Overload! (Understatement of the Year)

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Okay, so Matt has always been outnumbered as far as the male to female ratio is concerned.  Today, he became REALLY outnumbered.  Of course he has the three of us in the house, but for the next week, my mom, sister, four nieces, and Megan, the girls’ baby-sitter are visiting us.  Matt is coping well [...]

Quite depressing news (at least for me)

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

Okay, so most of you know that the last trimester of my pregnancy was full of Thin Mint Cookies and Twinkies.  I am down to only half a box of Thin Mints.  This might actually be even worse than morning sickness, or fainting, even looking like an elephant.  Matt insists that I have eaten 20 boxes [...]

Pump!

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

I actually slept for more than 3 hours total last night.  For the most part, I felt well-rested today, unfortunately, I had the headache from Hades to tip the scales in the other direction.  I think that it is mostly dehydration.  I am trying to breastfeed.  Trying because Mati refuses to eat from the breast.  [...]

First Night Home

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Yesterday was a very interesting day.  When we were discharged from the hospital, we stopped at Sonic (I became an addict once I went off the Twinkie Diet) and brought lunch home.  Matt then left to pick up Mayli.  Mati and I hung out as much as a two-day-old and her mother can. 
I was definitely [...]

And you thought I was joking about the baby elephant…

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Well, I am home from the hospital, as you can probably guess from this post.  I can say that I am quite tired, but I want to share a few things (and very few of them negative) about my labor that I’m sure you are dying to know.
Before I went to bed on Thursday night, [...]

Daddy’s Update

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

Hello all,
As you have probably all heard. Melissa has given birth. Melissa and Matty are doing well. We are hoping to take them home tomorrow late morning, but it should definitely be some time tomorrow. Melissa has gotten some rest but needs more, fortunately she is no longer a pin cushion [...]

Doctor’s Appointment (aka: The State of my Cervix)

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

Okay, so I had that wonderful appointment this morning.  You know, the one where the nurse looks at you, shakes her head, and says “Still here”. 
I would say that the doctor was surprised to see me, but well, he knew he hadn’t delivered my baby.  He did reassure me that I have not constricted.  I [...]

I love Monticello

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

I just finished reading the e-vents out of the Herald Journal.  I really don’t know why I do this.  Most of the time, it just puts me in a really bad mood.  So, what I’m going to do for this post is write what I have learned from the e-vents.
1.  It is perfectly okay for [...]

Still pregnant (surprise, surprise)

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Well, it is almost 6:00 PM.  Today has been an interesting day.  Not really, but I’ll go ahead and say that.  I have spent the vast majority of the day in bed.  I have been so wiped out today.  I tried to take two naps before noon.  Each was unsuccessful.  I just wasn’t able to [...]

Sorry, Diane (and probably Amy too)

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Well, Diane, even with your “on or by May 23 at 3:38 AM” comment (which I thought the “by” part was a little unfair), you were wrong.  Amy, you still have an hour at the start of this post. 
The good thing is that I do have my doctor’s appointment tomorrow.  It will be quite reassuring [...]
