Thinking about a Birthing Pool...

Ok so iv been thinking...and if any of you read my last blog you would know that i am 13 weeks pregnant tomorrow. Yup, baby number 2!!
But, iv been thinking about my labor and delivery that i had with Makayla. Other then being long and drawn out (which im hoping this one wont be so long) because i was in labor with Makayla for 27 hours before she finally poped out lol. And i only pushed for about an hour, but i was so freaking tired from such a long labor i didnt have the strength to push her out without help from the doctor. And its my own fault because everyone was telling me that when i start having contractions to eat lightly because i dont know how quickly my labor will progress and eating a lot will probably make me sick...well i should have never listened to them because the lack of food (all i ate in 27 hours was a milkshake and a large fry from Wendy's then ice chips in the hospital) is what made me to weak to push her out myself; resulting in Dr. Durkee having to use that stupid vaccum to get her out which gave her a big bruse on her head, making her have those stupid seziures. Lol so at least i know this time that i need to eat more during labor!!!
But i also know of another reason why i couldnt push her out very well...i couldnt feel a damn thing down there!! Which in a way thats good, but i think that if i could have felt where she was, and actually felt my contractions, i would have been able to push more affeciently.
And i also think that i would have been able to handel the pain, because i went threw the first and second stages of my labor with no problems. I even walked around the mall to see if it would move faster!
And yes i had to stop and breath, but it wasnt anything i couldnt handel.

So here's what im thinking....with this baby, i want to have a natural delivery (absolutly no drugs!!). And iv been looking up information on birthing tubs for water births, i dont know yet if i would actually want to give birth in the water. But i do know that i would love to relax in one during labor up until i have to get out and push. And at The Medical Center, they have labor and delivery rooms with large jacuzzi tubs for women to use for relaxing threw the labor and then delivering in the bed, and im very interested in that. But im still looking into the water birthing tubs too, for just in case i decide to try it. The only thing is that i dont think that The Medical Center will let you bring in a birthing tub (becaues they dont have them). So if i decided to go all the way and give birth in the water, i would have to find a Dula or Midwife and do it at home...and im not sure i would feel completely comfortable with that. Because if something did go wrong i would have to be rushed to the hospital, but if i just do the natural birth and use the tub at the hospital for the labor and give birth in the bed, we would already be at the hospital in case something went wrong.

Well im 100% sure that the vaccum making that bruse on Makayla's head is what made her have those sezuires, and so is all of the doctors iv seen and talked to. So thats not really a concern for me, i didnt have any problems with my labor and just needed assistance with the delivery because i didnt eat and was to weak to do it myself. So im hoping that everything will go smoothly with this pregnancy, labor and delivery...smoothly enough for me to have a natural birth, and possible even a water birth. I still have to think about it somemore and figure out exactly what i want to do...but i want input, so comment and tell me what you think.

Today...

Okidoki, so today is Jace's 21st birthday!!! YAY He's excited to be 21 but at the same time doesnt really care because he doesnt really drink that much lol. But whoever reads this should give him a call (478-361-0989) because he's not feeling well today and he is having a hard day at work. So im sure he would love for friends to call him and wish him a happy birthday....so as for me, im happy he's 21 because i am not ashamed to admit that i enjoy a wine cooler, and somethimes a little stronger drinks every now and then. He can buy now lol, but it doesnt really matter right now because i cant drink...i guess i should tell people now, im 12 weeks and 5 days PREGNANT! It came as quite a suprise, i havnt been feeling well for the past few months but i didnt really think anything of it. But i went to the doctor and he confirmed it lol. But dont write anything about it on my facebook, i have family i havnt told yet on my facebook. We were definitly suprised, but were definitly happy and yes i know it will be hard having a 14 month old and a new born but im glad that they can grow up together, i always wanted a sister or brother when i was growing up, then i finally got a little brother when i was 12. But by then i didnt really want one anymore lol. And Jace and i always talked about having a big family, lol we were planning on waiting until Makayla was 2 then trying for a boy, so its just a little sooner then expected. But were very excited!...Lol i guess im proof that if you want your birth control to be 100% affective, make sure not to skip any pills lol. I only missed 2 because i forgot to take them over a weekend we had to ourselves lol. So exciting stuff going on, we will be moving into our apartment hopfully the end of April, and Makayla's trying to crawl, were making good money and paid off a lot of bills and now baby #2 is on its way! Lol

Raining

So its Saturday the 28th and its raining...I love days like this when I have no reason to leave the house. It kind of sucks when you have things you have to get out and do though lol. But just being able to sit at home and listen to the rain hitting the windows and air conditioner (which is a window unit) and just relax, ahhh...its so nice. Iv just been playing with Makayla and resting on the sofa all day and i dont get to many days like this. Usually if I dont do something to clean the house by the time Jace gets home then I get bitched out about how im lazy and never do anything but sleep all day and take care of Makayla and how I need to get my butt i gear and be responsible and do my job. Even though I usually never go a day without cleaning unless im honestly to sick to get out of bed or off the sofa. Well im going to have an actual lazy day today and i dont really give a shit what he says. Everyone deserves a little down time and time to themselves and just because im a stay at home mom, i never really get "lazy days" because if im not playing with Makayla im cleaning or cooking....so im going to enjoy my day today!!! :D

She actually came threw...

Ok so the other day I posted a blog about the fact that my mom said that she was going to buy us some living room furniture. Knowing my mom and how she is (and Jace knowing as well) we didnt really have our hopes up. She usually comes up with excuses to get out of it. For example, Saturday we agreed that if it wasnt pooring down rain by noon that we would meet at Farmers Furniture. She just told us to call her after Jace's meeting at 9am and after we went and paid Sprint for my phone (thats newly reactivated by the way ;) call me 478-321-5386). So as Makayla and I sat in the car while Jace was inside the Sprint store i called my mom, no answer.

So i tried again...still no answer. So I finally just left her a message after like the 8th try and said, "well i was just going to let you know that its not raining and we just paid Sprint so we're on our way to your house to pick you up, just letting you know we'll be there in 15." Lol so as we turned into Lake Wild Wood she called back and said that Steve (my stepdad) wanted her to stay home, something about him being mad at her because she didnt clean. But anyway she said that she wasnt going to be able to go today because he was really upset. Lol but when we got there, Steve was outside and Jace asked him if it was ok if we borrowed my mom for about an hour. Steve said, "Yea i dont care." Jace told him what my mom said about him being mad at her, and he said, "Theres no telling what she'll say to get out of things."



So we went inside and my mom had just got out of bed!! Not like thats very suprising lol. But Jace said, "Steve said he's not mad at you and that we can borrow you for an hour." Lol dont you just love how he called her out like that? Lol I thought it was funny, because then she started to think of more excuses to not have to go.
She said things like, "Well they might not even approve me for the cost since I havnt been in my new job that long. And it takes more then an hour to do a credit check."
So Jace said that he talked to the woman at the store and she said that just to do a credit check only takes about 10 minutes. Lol so needless to say we ended up making her go.

So anyway, the good news is even though she put up a fight because she didnt feel like going that day, she still got us furniture so she actually came threw, for once!! And it will be arriving on the 23rd...so Monday week!!
Be excited!

Apartment news...

Ok so we finally found an apartment! The Park at Northside has a 3 bed room 2 bath 1275 square feet flat apartment that we plan on moving into no later then the end of next month. It is a gated community, and has a big pool that goes to 8 feet deep, and it also has a fenced in playground. We have been looking for about the past month, were only going to have to pay $650 a month for this apartment, we were interested in another apartmnt in warner robins that had a 3 bed room 2 bath but it had less square footage and they wanted more for it. Like about $800 a month! So i think we found ourselves a pretty good deal.



On another note, when i told my mom that we found an apartment and will be moving in next month she said that she wanted us to go to Farmers Furniture and pick out a living room suit and since she has an account there then she will pay for it. So we went today and picked out a really nice set that includes a sofa, loveseat and chair, and a coffee table and 2 end tables. Theres a pic of it that i found on google below...its not the exact ones that were getting but its almost the same.

So yea things are going pretty good...ill try to keep everyone updated. I havent really had much time to write the past few weeks but ill start making more time to update.
