He said the "C" word….

January 3, 2007 by Wendy S

…c-section!

The baby is still breech. So please send “baby flipping” vibes my way. I have 10 weeks to go so there is still time.

I know it’s not the worst thing on the face of the planet that could happen, but those of you who know me well enough know that I really don’t want a c-section! I really want to go completely natural this time!

I know of one woman who actually found a doc that would deliver a breech baby but I’m not sure if I want to do that either. I need to do some research.

Other than that , things are great! Baby’s heartbeat was 142 and I’m measuring exactly 30 weeks. Blood pressure was good…gained a bit of weight but I blamed that on Christmas
But prior to finding out that the baby is still breech, I informed the doc that any time after March 2nd (my last day of work) I’d be okay with having the baby. He said that a week or so before my due date he’d do an internal check and strech me if possible! Woo hoo! So that is some good news. I’d so much rather this baby be early than late

Ummmm….cookies!

December 6, 2006 by Wendy S

Since I’m still learning the ins-and-outs of the blogosphere, this post might be a little late.

I found out about a Virtual Cookie Exchange so I wanted to share this:

Bowler’s Delight

Ingredients:
1 cup butter/margerine (but not the healthy stuff…Imperial is good)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped nuts (we use peanuts)
1 package Graham Crackers

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350
On a cookie sheet, place graham crackers to cover the bottom.
In a small pot, add butter and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, remove from heat. Stir in chopped nuts.
Pour mixture over graham crackers evenly.
Put in oven for 8 mintues.
Allow to completely cool before cutting.

Enjoy!

just like daddy!

We had a doctor’s appointment and my little girl is great! The doctor says she very healthy.
da
Now here’s the interesting part….She 36″ tall!?!?! That the 96%ile! And she weighs 30lbs! (87%ile)
My little baby isn’t so little.

Tho I forgot to ask when her next appointment should be.

Tonight was also the Peel Partner’s Annual Bowling Tournament. We went and watched Daddy and some work people bowl. Munchkin had a good time…seemed to be very interested the bowling. We’ll have to take her sometime. Maybe with the bumpers so there are no gutter balls!

Big Ultrasound is a big disappointment!

October 24, 2006 by Wendy S

First off, I’ll start by saying that the baby is great! Heartbeat was 164 bpm! And is folded in half…literally, the baby’s feet were above it’s head!

But the rest of the story isn’t as exciting.
We get to the U/S place, 5-10 minutes early. I asked how the wait was becuase my bladder was ready to explode, and they told me that there was one person ahead of me so it shouldn’t be long.
They call me in at 5:40…10 minutes late, not too bad. I say to the tech that my DH wants to come in and she says “yes, if there is time at the end”. Well, they always say this, and he has always come in….at the other clinic that I had been going to. So she starts the U/S. The bed is in a position that is really below the screen and where my head is I can just see it from the side….barely seeing anything!
She’s having trouble finding the things that’s she looking for so she sends me to empty my bladder. I go and come back and she continues. Baby is a bit more cooperative and she’s able to finish everything up. So she turns the screen to start showing me the baby and I say “can we call my husband in” and she says “I’m sorry but there isn’t time. We were already running late and now I”ve missed an appointment”. I’m almost in tears at this time. She hands me 5/6 pictures…I didn’t even count them and I head out to the waiting room. I fight thru the tears to tell Dh that there wasn’t time for him to come in. He’s furious. He says to me “but another couple went in and the guy got to go in too”. I didn’t know what to say, all I could do was cry.
This is the one thing that he looks forward to cuz he’s actually able to share this with me and he gets cheated. I’m so upset, disappointed and angry over this whole thing. Last night I cried myself to sleep becuase I just couldn’t believe what happened. I feel horrible…my stomach is in knots. This is something that we might not be able to get back. I’m hoping that when we see the doctor on Monday, I can get him to give me another U/S.
It wasn’t supposed to happen this way!!!

forget webster…we’ve got munchkin!

October 21, 2006 by Wendy S

So we got Munchkin winter boots with Barbie on them. I didn’t really care what was on them, I bought them because they co-ordinated with her snow suit.

But if you ask Munchkin who is on her boots, she says “Bible”.

Huh??

And how embarrassing is that when she says it in the shoe section filled with parents and kids.

It’s amazing how her vocabulary is increasing everyday, but it’s funny how she mixes words up. Maybe we should send Munchkin’s entries into the Webster Dictionary people and see what they think:

Bi·ble (bbl)

1.Trademark. a brand of doll representing a slim, shapely young woman, esp. one with blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin.

–noun

2.Also called Barbie doll. a person, esp. a young woman, perceived as blandly attractive and vacuous.
