Baby-wearing, Cloth-diapering, Breast feeding (in public!), tattoo having, concert attending mom
I love the looks I get when out in public. I have always lived life to the fullest no matter what any one else thought. I used to get crazy looks for dancing on bars or all my tattoos. Now I get crazy looks for feeding my baby, and changing his diaper! You can't imagine the shock on the faces at Walmart when I walk in wearing my child !! GASP!!
Recently we attended an all day concert in Buda, Texas (close to Austin). You would be amazed at the gawking crown right outside of "weird" Austin! Yes, it's a baby. Yes, he can breathe! Yes, that is a cloth diaper. Yep - I wash them in my washer! O, is he eating?? No, I make sucking sounds for fun. I have the greatest time explaining all of these strange occurences to people. After a silly sarcastic comment or two I have even converted some people. I doubt I will see any of their 3mth olds with a mohawk anytime soon, but a girl can dream, right??

Eff you Reflux. or, Reflux can suck it.
We=baby & I
We sleep in 45min intervals. (Hubby sleeps just fine)
We breastfeed every hour.
I change 8-10 cloth diapers a day.
I do 2 loads of laundry a day because everything has been puked on.
We wear our outfits for a maximum of 2 hours.
I now know that a dog will eat vomited breast milk.
Reflux you can eff off thank you very much.
Words of wisdom from reflux.com:
Beth’s Rule of Sixes – completely unscientific
If you can answer yes to six of these, maybe it isn't "just" colic... maybe it is acid reflux
Your baby cries six hours a day
For six days a week
It has been going on for over six weeks
The neighbor six doors down can hear the screaming
You tried six formulas or cut six foods from your diet if nursing
You and your baby need six changes of clothes per day
It takes six hours to feed six ounces
Your baby never sleeps for more than 60 minutes at a time
Your baby spits up six times after each bottle
You keep wondering if you overlooked a 666 birthmark
At the last six appointments doc said "colic" or “babies just cry”
You dread driving anywhere more than six minutes away
Your baby belches like a six year old
Six hours alone with the baby is the max anybody can take
You do six loads of laundry a week - just for you and the baby
By six pm you want a 7

Boob man
My exclusive breast feeder is only happy on a boob. Like father, like son I guess!
I will say that bf'ing at your 13-year olds baseball game is interesting.

Birth Story
Should've gone natural as planned...
Baby boy is here, and smaller than estimated LONG - sorry.
I was induced 4-22 due to suspected macrosomia, excessive swelling, GBS positive, and issues with my IBS. I arrived for my induction at 7. By 9:00 Pitocin, antibiotics, and fluid were all running.
At 10:30 I was between a 2 & 3, so he broke my water. Baby was still -4 station. About 1:00 my sister had talked me into an epidural. Boy, was that a mistake! My blood pressure dropped. I had to have to hits of epinephrine. This in turn made the baby's heart rate erratic. He slowly adjusted, and I was given Zofran for nausea. It only worked on one side, and I could not lift my right leg. I was not happy. My last 3 births were epi free, & I should';ve held out on this one. I truly regret the useless epi with all that I am,
At 3:30 I was only a 4, and baby was in same station. The nurse and I started talking about a c-section. All of a sudden about 3:45 I felt a burning sensation with a lot of pressure. I knew something had changed. My wonderful nurse agreed to check me again. I was a 10, but there was a small lip. OB was called, along with several other nurses. I pushed for 2 contractions when they had to turn off the epidural. We waited for it to wear off enough so that I could feel where to push. I began pushing again. Baby was still very high.
There was also the issue of tearing. In my 3 previous pregnancies I experienced 4th degree tears in 3 directions. When baby's head was about half way out the OB had me stop pushing so that I could stretch around baby (hoping to prevent a tear), After a while he could see that there was no way I was going to stretch that big.
He performed an episiotomy, I also tore internally. I asked the OB how many stitches - he said he stopped counting. Baby Harry V was born at 4:56. He was 8 lb 9 oz. OB had projected 10lb based on 33 week sono & me measuring between 4-6 weeks ahead.
He had some breathing problems in the first cpl of hours, but everything seems to be ok now. I am breast feeding him now, and he is already a pro. He has eaten 3 times in the last 2 hrs. He is a monster already, lol.
Recovery will be a LONG process, but he is SSSSSOOOOO worth it,

38 weeks
How far along?: 38 weeks
Total weight gain: 26 lbs
Maternity clothes: yes - and none of them fit at all anymore. Wearing the same pants/tank tops everyday, beacuse they are the only ones that fit.
Sleep: none. Between carpal tunnel, swollen right foot, and hips, I cannot get comfortable. Sleep is not possible.
Best moment of the week: Setting the induction date!
Movement: A LOT!! He likes to try to push his butt up between my ribs. Head butting my cervix like a trampoline.
Gender: ALL Boy
Food cravings: Strawberry milk, spinach
Labor signs: some crazy BH, Pelvic pressure, head butting my cervix. Contractions all the time - but they are doing NOTHING...
Belly button in or out: Flat. Stretched and yucky brown color. Looks like a weird smiley face w/my piercing and the scars from my lap chole.
What I miss most: sleeping comfortably, seeing my feet normal size, heart burn medication, not throwing up in my mouth, not peeing when I sneeze, cough, laugh, walk...etc. Not being stared at. People not falling over themselves when they see how big I am. Breathing. Walking.
What I'm looking forward to: Next Thursday!!

Induction is scheduled!! April 22nd. EARTH DAY!! Which for all my friends who call me a tree hugger, ha!
Anyway, so how do I feel about induction for the 4th time? Let's go back to when I first found out I was pregnant - I said I wanted the completely natural - call the hubby & tell him my water broke, labor at home, experience. Yeah, I'm over it. This baby is HUGE, I am miserable. Between reflux, asthma, and IBS I am over this pregnancy. I want an outside baby! My feet have swollen so large that I have stretch marks!!

The Benefit for my sister.
Danielle is only one of the 1,100 women killed each year due to the act of domestic violence. Thousands more are continuously being abused and only a handful of them are seeking the aid of shelters. We need your help in making a difference.
The Battered Women’s Foundation has become an enormous part of my friends and her families lives. In just four years, thier memorial/benefit has impacted numerous women and children and helped to provide them with life changing experiences. As they approach thier 5th Annual Danielle LeBlanc Memorial Concert on June 12, 2010, at No Frills Grill in Arlington, their family would like your help. They are still in need of some larger items such as fencing, authorities, staging, shirts for volunteers, etc. All of these things have a price and with the ability to network I believe we can make this one of the most beneficial years yet.
We are also collecting any items that may be put in the raffle.
The Battered Women’s Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to the support of women and children whose lives have been affected by domestic violence. The foundation provides clothing & food distribution, counseling, educational services, and more.
We would like to thank those of you that graciously contributed to last year’s event. You played a very large part in making our benefit a huge success and helped warm the hearts of many women and children.
If you are able to contribute or help us out in any way, please contact me or mail to: Anna Marie Corbin, Attn: Danielle LeBlanc Memorial Concert, P.O. Box 746, Burleson, TX 76097-0746. Or, if you would like, I could arrange to pick the item up at your convenience.

37 week OB appt
GBS swab. Dilated to 1cm and 70% effaced. With my last 2 boys I was dilated to 3cm @ 35 weeks, and they were both induced at 41 weeks. So even though I am due April 30th, I predict I will be induced with this one also. In fact, if I left it up to this kid I bet he would be a June baby, lol.
Dr still says I am measuring about 4 weeks ahead - so 41weeks. After growth ultrasound, DH birth weight, and previous babies, dr predicts a 10lb baby. I have to agree since @ growth u/s he measured almost 6lb.
Feet are HUGE. Nursery is closer to complete.

Growth U/S
We had a long sono, probably because Amazing Hubby and silly OB could not quit talking. Yeah, I probably had something to do with that, also! Anyway, after many comments about how huge his head is, how he looks like a hippo baby, how massive his feet are, etc. The estimated weight is 5lb 12oz. That can be + or - 1lb 3oz. Dr says he'd guess larger, rather than smaller. He is head down, and his butt is in between my ribs. Yeah, like I didn't know that already!
Amazing hubby and OB discussed male part size. Said daddy should be proud. Yeah, they were really having a good time. Hubby even asked if OB had located the motorcycle that he was sure his son was building! OMG.
Little one was there, and chimed in frequently. He is crazy excited, and has been SO helpful!
Had Hooters for lunch. Baby either hates it, or loves it. He was kicking like crazy!
Today I am making burritos, soup, enchiladas, and lumpia to freeze. I hope it lasts a few weeks after birth, but I bet it'll all be gone before he even gets here, knowing my family.

How far along?: 24 weeks
Total weight gain: 11 lbs
Maternity clothes: yes - since 9 weeks!
Sleep: Can't get enough
Best moment of the week: baby kicking the golden doodle which was laying on my belly
Movement: more every day, he's pretty regular
Gender: Boy
Food cravings: hot chocolate
Labor signs: no
Bell button in or out: In
What I miss most: being able to get off of couch w/out effort
What I'm looking forward to: hubby's back healing
Milestones: V day!
