PostHeaderIcon OUCH!



A few weeks ago I jinxed myself. I knew i shouldnt have uttered those words out loud and right after I did I knew I would regret it.

Even with my pressurized vag, I still felt lucky. You see i hadnt had any other pregnancy discomforts.

I said to my husband one evening when i was geting ready for bed " wow babe im pretty lucky so far, I havnt had a bladder infection, yeast infection or gotten hemmoirids yet! So far so good" then i said "shit! i shouldnt have said that out loud"

and he of course laughed at me and said, "oh now your gonna get all three at the same time! hahahah!" (you all can im sure picture him laughing)

Well, No, I didnt get all three. I did get one of the three though. It arrived last week after my horrible constipation I now have the rhoids! Yep. OHHH they are soo painful, earlier I was in tears. Then when we were driving (steven was) i got the butt grasping sensation as i felt we were not stopping fast enought....OUCH....and a little tear....

ahhhh the joys of pregnancy...arnt you jealous?

PostHeaderIcon wow



Well I was already having a crappy day for multiple reasons.....then I get a message from some snotty little 19 year old girl....

Well appearently a year and a half ago...yep you heard that right, I sold her my jeep cherokee, She has yet to register it appearently and of course lost the bill of sale, and the pink slip and the dmv has sent her several notices that the jeep is subject to towing and impound in the event that she is pulled over or parked on a public street!

So appearently where i come in is that if this happens since im the legal owner of this vehicle, in order for her to finally register it, she needs my signature.

She wanted me to just meet her and sign a paper, But im not willing to do this, cause she will probably just loose it! So I am meeting her at the DMV first thing in the am to make sure that she actually registers it!

So I get to take my painfully pressurized vagina and go sit in an uncomfortable DMV chair with a snotty 19 year old girl first thing in the morning.....ummm sounds like tomorrow is going to be crappy to.

I guess I should go to bed.....

PostHeaderIcon S-A-V-A-N-N-A

So you will all be receiving your invites very soon if you haven't already, and you may notice a SLIGHT misspelling of her name. just to clarify, there is NO H at the end.
Please spread the word. My fear is that people will buy or make me wonderful personalized things with the wrong spelling! AHHH!!! So my cousin will be telling people when they RSVP so that they know. But I also wanted to make the announcement as to clear up any confusion on the spelling ASAP!
Love to you all!

PostHeaderIcon 30 weeks! whoo hooo!!!


I celebrated by sitting on the toilet for like an hour, and then i cried a little.


i know TMI, but really im not a shy girl. I think my face actually looked like this meerkat when it finally came out.

my poor bum. now not only is my vagina sore and swollen but now my bum hurts.

but the good news is savanna is 30 weeks today just 10 more to go till the little sassy one gets here.

Today was also a bittersweet day in our home, Most of you know today is the 5 year anniversary since Casey passed and Steven got to take brynn to school for the first time today. He was so cute when we dropped her off, we stopped where she couldnt see us and we watched her play on the playground for a few minutes while we walked back to the car! She is so funny, they blew the whistle for everyone to stop, and she stopped at first.....but then she figured she was where the teacher couldnt see her...so she continued on her way!! lol! stevens response " oh no....she is going to get the whistle blown at her all the time!" It was classic!

We got our first homework assignment this weekend, we have to decorate a shoebox! so stay tuned for those pictures!

PostHeaderIcon why im on disability!

So after my trip to labor and delivery (see blog below) Not much has changed, I'm still in pain and the pressure is still immense and I have been off work since. The only way to describe it is, it feels like there is an elephant trying to come out of my vagina. lots of pressure. which when i try to get up or drive or walk to far turns into pain.
After numerous tests the Dr's state that there is NO SIGN of pre term labor at this point, and I'm not dilating or anything like that. My cervix is long and thick :) But if i were to continue about my "normal" activities the pressure could cause dilation earlier than we want. So until I'm at lest 32 weeks I'm to take it easy. I'm not on actual bed rest, but my Dr told me to know my limits and to not push myself. So Here I sit on my couch with my little dog. bored out of my mind. Its times like this i really wish i had a real hobby. I do laundry, make dinner and little things here and there but mostly u will find me in my pj's on the couch watching the crap they call "day time" TV. PUKE.
I will get paid on disability, but its only like 60% of my normal pay....which is going to hurt. i know were saving on gas and such, but really its going to be a hard adjustment, and not something we were planning on, we thought we had much more time to prepare for me being off work. it will be a rough adjustment but I'm sure well get threw it.

PostHeaderIcon Disability......BLAH!

So my Dr. has officially put me on disability most likely till Savanna comes. BLAH. at first I thought it might be kind of nice, NO its NOT. Im bored, Im bored, Im bored.

I cant drive very far cause it hurts, I cant do too much at one time so it feels like im home all day and get nothing done....i hate that feeling.

Savanna is good she pretty much beats me up from the inside all day! I can watch her kick, its pretty neat. I think she is sideways right now from the way she kicks me!

But as bored and as miserable as I may be....it will all be worth it when our beautiful healthy baby arrives!

PostHeaderIcon the dark night.


So last night we ventured out on a date, to be adults, and go see a grown up movie, because we love each other and know the importance of spending quality time together, and because i really wanted a slurpie, and we had free tickets! :)


So it was Stevens turn to pick the movie, as i have picked the past 100 or so!! And he picked Dark night. This did not excite me, as my brother warned me that there were lots of clowns in the movie, and I really have an irrational fear of clowns. they disgust and frighten me, and really i see no purpose for them on this planet.


ohhh...anyway, so we went and saw the movie, And I have to say, it was awesome. It was a little longer than savanna liked, but it was worth it. I highly reccomend it and I will see it again once its on video! Heath Ledger was great in this movie.

PostHeaderIcon Savanna is great! Monica....in a lot of pain!


Id like to start of by saying everyone is OK! and she is still in there where she belongs!
Since Friday, I have been having immense pelvic pressure, that has worsened each day. Today being the worst so far. It turned into pain, pressure and cramping. Period type cramping, the ones that make you have cold sweats, shivvers, and nausea. NOT GOOD!
I have been trying to hold out till friday, as that is my next regular pre-natal appt, but when the cramping started, there was no more waiting for me. So i made an appt for tomorrow am with an NP, but it was still getting worse as i drove home, So i called the advise line, and they transferred me right to labor and delivery.....who told me that i should come in to be monitored. Fear kicked in to full gear, and i needed to go to kaiser. i couldnt get there fast enough, but mary really helped calm me as i drove there. Thank you mary!
I got there, they hooked me right up, found Savanna's heartbeat, and she started kicking the monitor! She is so sassy already! Then Steven got there, and I felt so much better, knowing that no matter what they told me...We would get threw it!
But they had nothing but good news (about savanna) for us, She had a perfect heartbeat, and was active, and appeared to not be in any stress! my cervix is long and thick, (which is exactly what we want!) I have no bleeding or fluid loss. the bad news is Im in pain, and may continue to be in pain for a while.
They monitored us for just shy of 3 hours, and every few minutes i was having terrible cramping (and still am as i type) But they are not considered actual "contractions" as they do not show up on the monitor...They checked my cervix again, and no change! So they said i could go home, and to follow up with my reg dr at my appt on friday, to take it easy.
He says that the pain could be a number of things, Round ligiment pain, Pelvic bones spreading, muscles stretching, or disk pain in my back.
So my dr will check me again on friday and hopefully be able to provide me a little more relief (aside from my piece of mind that she isnt coming soon!) and untill then i will just have to stay as comfortable as i can while in pain.
