6 months

We were 6 months old on the 10/9. I can't beleive where has time gone. I never knew I could love someone so much. Even though she breaks my heart because she's never happy to see me, but over joyed to see her daddy. Amazing I went through the pregnancy and the pain, etc. And she doesn't like me. Maybe that will pass. She can sit all by herself now. She attempts to crawl, but only goes backwards. She will eat anything you put in her mouth, that might be the reasoning she is 20lbs. She is the sweetest thing in this world.

My good friends Melinda and Eric whom have prayed for a baby for so long, finally are getting their prayers answered. They are going to be parents very soon to a baby boy. I can't wait to meet him. It's so exciting, I feel like I just found out I'm having a baby or something. I always keep them in my prayers, now my prayers will change a bit, as I will pray for a healthy baby and guidence to them as they raise him, because it's not an easy job, but so rewarding.

More Updates

Kylee is almost 5 months old, two more days.... She is so funny now, laughes all the time, playes, she loves to touch your face, pull you hair, etc.. She loves to fight going to sleep as well. The last two night we've had the hardest time getting her to bed, I believe it is due to teething. Hopefully this gets better soon. She is atleast 17lbs, and growing everyday. Her favorite toy is the JUMPEROO.. she's so cute when she's playing in it. We are eating lots of baby food, she pretty much will eat anything you give her.

Other News, Matthew was laid off about 3 weeks ago.. :(. But things are good.

I've been having issues about a job change at work, part of me wants to move, and the other doesn't. I just keep praying about it, and I think God is telling me the direction, I need to go, I just wont listen. I need to re-focus, and make a decision and stick with it. I beleive I know what that descision is, I just need to go with it. Life it's never easy.

Updates

Kylee is now 4 months old, 16lbs 14oz, 25 inches and growing.. She is so sweet. She's now found her feet, she trys to bit her toes everytime we change her diaper. She started eating baby food. That's fun, I enjoy seeing all the crazy expressions on her face. She's the best. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE thinks she looks like Matthew. I agree but she does have some of my looks as well. I did carry her for 9 months. We switched bedrooms with her, so she would have more room. She looks her new room, she can lay in the floor and play with all of her bears now, she couldn't do that in her old room.

We still need continued prayers for Matthew's career path. She is working for himself and I know we are making a good decision, I just hope the business is there.

I on the other hand am still sick. They don't have a clue what's wrong with me. Hopefully one day in the near future and I get some releif when eating. I would really like to enjoy a meal and feel normal afterwards. Pregnancy can do crazy things to your body. I've never had all these issues, until after I had Kylee. She was worth all of it, and I would do it over again.

Sad

Kylee is spending the week with my mom. I am so sad, I miss her so much. Lynn had several appointments this week, so no child care for Kylee. I can't until Friday when I can see my precious angel.

She is almost 4 months and already in 6-9 month cloths. She is so sweet. The best thing that's ever happen to me.

3 months

Kylee is 3 months old today. I really can't believe it. She is getting so big. She loves this pink bunny, that sings. It's so funny she attacks the bunny, she fights with him. She slept all night last night, I could not believe it. The dogs slept all night as well, that never happens, it was a good night, I hope we can have more nights like that.

On a differnt note, I've been sick for the last week or so and the doctor thinks its my gallbladder. :( so I go tomorrow for tests to determine if it is. Wish me luck.

Sleeping

Last night was a good night. Kylee's last feeding has been at 10:00, she's usually asleep by 10:45 or so. Well last night we feed her at 9:00, she was asleep by 9:30, and I was asleep by 9:45. I couldn't beleive it!! I was so thankful for that extra sleep. I hope we can stay on this schudule. She woke up at 3:30 I rocked her and she went back to sleep until 6:00. This is wonderful. Please say a prayer it stays like this, at least during the work week. She's growing so fast, I try to take a picture of her everyday, and she does change daily. She has brought so much joy to my life.

Next weekend we are going to the beach. I can't wait to get some pictures of Kylee at the beach. Matthew and I love the beach, so hopefully she will too. We will have to take her out on the beach early in the morning or late in the evening, because it is so hot.

Please say a prayer for Matthew, he really truly wants to find a job where he can be home with us more. He has a great job, but it does require alot of time away from home, and when it was just he and I, it was ok, but now with Kylee it's hard. It's hard for him to be away and it's for me, taking care of her by myself. I pray that whatever god's plan is for Matthew, that he will show us what that is.

Ah-goo

Ah-goo is Kylee's new word. It is so Sweet the way she says it. She is vocal alot this days. She's loves to talk. It's just a bunch of Ah-goos but I truly believe she is trying to say something. LOL! She is the best. I can't get to Lynn's fast enough in the afternoon to pick her up. I miss her so much, now that I am back to work. It's amazing how fast they grow, I think she grow from 7:15 to 5:00 when I pick her up each day. I can't image what I did with my life before her. I think it was pretty boring. I also kept a clean house before Kylee now the house is a wreak and I could care less, I don't have the time or the energy to clean it. :)I would rather spend my time with my baby!

She's growing so fast.......

I can't beleive my baby is already 9 weeks old. She is such a joy. She is the best thing ever. She is 12lbs 8oz abd smiling all the time. She is so happy in the mornings, she did not get that from me. I miss her so much now that I am back to work, but it's good for both of us. Working and taking care of her is challenging. Before Kylee I could barely get myself ready and at work on time. Now I have to get myself ready, kylee ready and feed every morning before we leave, that's been the biggest challenge, but so worth it. I am cherishing everyday because before I know it, she will be all grow up. I am attaching her 6 week old picture.

Updates

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I've been busy to say the least. Baby girl requires all my attention, and when she's sleeping I'm cleaning, washing, showering etc. Well she was born April 9,2009 @ 5:41p.m. 7lb 13oz after 10 long hours of labor, we had a c-section. It was awful. It was very painful and the recovery was even more painful, but so worth it. Kylee is 5 weeks old today and already 10lbs. She is so sweet and so precious. She is already spoiled, I know you can't spoil a baby younger than 6 months, but she is. I just love watching her grow. And what they say is true, you will never love someone the way you love you child. She is such a blessing, and I thank god everyday for giving us this precious baby!

The Big Day!

Ms. Kylee will be here sometime on April 9th, that's only two days. I've waited for this day for 9 months but now with only two days left, it's getting scary. I can't wait to meet my baby girl. She is already spoiled and not here yet. What an exciting day, especially since this may be the only one. She is special and it's a miracle we made it this far. I will post pictures as soon as I am able. I wonder who she will look like???

A child coming into this world, makes me realize God really is in control. He created this baby and now is letting us share. It's so amazing how he works!

Keep us in your prayers!

The stitches....

Well the stitches came out yesterday and that was an experience. The doctor said it was no big deal etc. Well it was. I almost passed out and got very dizzy and light headed, and thought I was going to die. I have broken bones and injured myself so many times in life and nothing was like that. Labor has to be better. Anyway I dilated 1 cm after they were removed. I've had severe cramping all night and this morning, which I had when they put the stitches in, so I believe that comes with it. I go back next Monday, if Kylee is not here yet, which I am pretty sure she won't be we still have a long way to go to get to 10 cm. Now all we can do is wait!! Fun, Fun, Fun.

March 23, 2009 Appointment

Well Ms. Kylee is 6 lbs 14 oz and is in position for arrival. She is so cute! She's going to be chubby!!! Anyway I will have my stitches out next monday and if she doesn't decide to come on her own by April 13th, I will be induced that day! I can't wait, it's so exciting and scary at the same time. I was worried about having a c-section, now that's not the case, now I'm worried about being responsible for another life besides my own. I can't wait until this little girl is in my arms and I am somebody's mommie. I think then I will have a greater appreciate for the love my mother has for me and Justin. She would give her life for us and I would do the same for Kylee. :) I will post an update next week when the stitches come out!!! I can't wait.

P.S. The doctor said if I make it three more weeks, she will be well over 8lbs.... Bless me!! :)

March 9, 2009 Appointment

Well so far, so good! The doctor said everything looks good, even though I am having contractions I have not dilated, which is good. She needs to stay put a little longer. So next appointment is 3/23 and I will have a sonogram and see how big she is and if she's in the correct position. Then the big day March 30Th, the stitches come out, so I will make sure everything is ready that day. Even though she might decided to stay put for 3 weeks after that, which she and I will have a long talk about that, when she's old enough. LOL! Anyway Matthews goes out of town 3/23-3/27 and he asked the doctor if he thought that was wise. And Doc said well you never know what can happen, but if I did have the baby that week, he would act like a proud daddy for Matthew!! TOO FUNNY!

It's Finally March!

I can't believe it's already March!! I am excited!! The end is near! It's only Monday and I am ready for the weekend, so I can rest! My new symptom this week is excess swelling. I am glad I go to the doctor Monday so he can see this, I had swelling for about the last 8 weeks, but for some reason yesterday and today have been much worse than normal. I got on the scales today and have gained 6 pounds in a week!!! That is not right, I believe it's the fluid. And yes the pregnancy hormones are in full swing this week. Saturday I wasn't feeling well all day, so that might have something to do with it, but I went to get in the shower and the rug in the bathroom was gone, (matthew cleaned the entire house, so I didn't have too) so he put the bath rug in the laundry room so it could be washed. I started crying like someone I loved just died, and I couldn't stop crying, the whole time I was in the shower I was crying about a dang bath rug. About ten minutes after I got out I was fine. Crazy!! I would say I am a semi-emotional person, I cry about things but not just over anything, it takes alot. So when Matthew got home I told him what happened, and he thought it was crazy too, not like me at all. He said let's leave the rug in the bathroom from now on!! LOL! It's got to be the preggo hormones. Weird.

Anyway we almost are finished with baby girl's room. I can't wait until it's all done and my bag is packed for the hospital and then I can surely relax and await her arrival. It's hard to image in a few weeks, I will be a mom. I hope I am a good mom, I have my mind set on the parent I want to be, but you know it never works out like that. I just hope we can raise a child that turns out to be a productive member of society. I plan to raise her the way I was raised. And so far I turned out ok!! :) I know I want make all the right decision's but I hope I at least make mostly right decisions. It's exciting and scary at the same time. It's crazy to think that soon I will have a child that everything that she becomes and does in life will mostly be because of how her parents raised her. That's alot on your plate as a parent. I've put all my fears about parenting in god's hands and I know he will lead me in the right direction.

Little bit of everything...

What a day already and it's only 9:25a.m. I am in so much pain right now, my legs and other areas feel like they are going to explode. The doctor's say it is normal preggo pains, however mine will likely be worse than usually due to pressure on my cervix's. :( So I am trying to tuff it out but it's getting worse from sitting here, so I may have to go home today and lay down. YUCK!

Anyway my mom and mike landed safely in Atlanta and are on their way to the Caribbean. I am so jealous. Mom is scared to death to fly so hopefully it wasn't that bad for her. While they are soaking up the sun, I get to spend the weekend with Justin. I am excited he is growing up so fast and such a big boy now, I cherish all the time we get to spend together. Even though we agree to disagree most the time, but hey that's what brother and sister's do!!!

One of my best Friends mother is in the hospital. She was having headaches so she went to the doctor and they wanted to run a cat scan. She had that done yesterday and they found a brain tumor. At this point they say they can remove it and all should be well. They will not know if it is cancerous until it is removed. I would like anyone and everyone to pray for her. She is very young, and such a inspiration to all. She is a wonderful mother and grandmother and deserves only the best. Please keep the Burrell family in your thoughts and prayers. God is a healer and I know she is well taken care of. As my pastor said Sunday, surround yourself with people who are like Jesus, well Ms. Burrell is like Jesus. She is a wonderful woman!!

Have a great weekend!

Doctor Appointment Feb 9th 09

I went for my check up today and everything is great. My blood pressure was good, the baby is right on track for growth and her heartbeat sounded great.I start going every two now, which is good I get to hear her heartbeat more often. I complained to my doctor about the swelling in my feet and hands and also the pain and pressure I've been having lately. He informed that's part of it. "Great" :) and to rest and stay off my feet as much as possible. So I am trying to do that. I went home last night and relaxed and it does help when your off your feet. I also have a scheduled appointment to have my stitches removed March 30th. I am so excited. That's only 6 weeks 6 days and the doctor will not stop labor after that. So as long as I make 6 more weeks we are in the clear. She will be ready! I know I sound so ready for this to be over, but at the same time I want God to bring her in this world when he's ready and she's ready. Anyway my next appointment is Feb 23rd I will post an update then.

Emotions.......

Boy being pregnant is a roller coaster, one day I think omg I only have a short time before she's here, the next I think I am so miserable and ready for this to be over. I love my little girl so much and can't wait to meet her, but I promise if I could get her here without have to go through the pregnancy I would. I guess some people love being pregnant, and I love some parts of it. I guess I've really just had a hard time. It's only thing after another. I try to be strong for the most part but some days it just gets to me. My back hurts so bad sitting all day at work, and I think everyday "This will be a better day" unfortunately it doesn't turn out that way. By lunch or some days before my back hurts so bad all I want to do is go home and go to bed.... I know my pity party!!! I will say I wouldn't trade what I am getting in the end for anything in the world, and she is going to be so spoiled and so loved... but at the same time I will think long and hard before we have another one. I now have a deeper respect for pregnant women, especially those we carry multi babies at a time. "Bless their hearts". And poor Matthew he is so helpful and understanding, and doesn't yell back (for the most part) LOL when I just bit his head off. He surely trys to understand what I am going through. Anyway after my venting I want to say I think god everyday for the blessing's he's given me and my family. And the blessing he is about to give little Kylee Jo. According to my doctor's she was not suppose to be here. She was suppose to be the baby I lost. But due to a higher power she will be here soon! I truly believe everything happens for a reason.

Anyway I am looking forward to my Dr's appointment on Monday, can't wait to go over my list of aches and pains! LOL! I am also looking forward to my baby shower next Thursday! And then my mom, mike and Justin are coming on the 19th and I get to spend the whole weekend with Justin while mom and mike are sun bathing in the beautiful Caribbean. Justin, Matthew and I always have a fun, never dull moment experience when we three are together! LOL!

I will update on our process Monday after the Dr's appointment.

New

Well this is my first time using a blog. I thought it would be nice to start one, so I can post updates and information on Kylee as grows.

As of today 1/22/2009 I am feeling good, just getting bigger everyday. Kylee now weighs around 2 1/2 pounds and will be here soon. Her EDD is April 19,2009 but I feel like she will come early or maybe that is wishful thinking. I can't wait to meet her.

My next doctor's appointment is Feb 9th. I will post an update then on our progress!
