Just chillin'--Update #3

I wasn't going to leave an update today because there isn't much to update you on since yesterday. Actually, the contractions are not coming at all. I still do get the Braxton Hicks contractions but not the working ones much. They come sometimes throughout the day but not at all like the first night of early labor signs. As far as it looks and feels, no baby coming anytime soon. Unless my water brakes. I've had this happen one time before and that was with my last baby (#7-Ephraim).

I am carrying her so low. I have plenty of room to breath but she is so low in my womb that I wouldn't be surprised if my water broke. We'll see!!! You just never know. You can't judge how things will go by the other pregnancies. Every pregnancy is soooo different. I have learned this with each one of mine.

(This is the mood I am in today....Just Chillin')

For today, I am continuing to do some nesting and carrying for my other babies in the house. Trying not to focus on "WHEN" the baby will arrive. I am just chillin' here at home. I live in Florida so I am hoping for cooler weather. It has been "hot" these past few days (mid to upper 70's). I know that sounds gorgeous to some of you Northerners. I've been pregnant during the summer and I do prefer this weather way more than those hot 96*+ weather we get down here. This weekend it should be cooler, with a freeze a couple of days. Yay!!

So enjoy your day and kiss on all your babies. I am going to be enjoying each and every day of this pregnancy, since it will soon end. Pregnancy can be rough at times but there is something exciting in the "air" when the thought of a new baby arriving soon. :) It feels like Christmas all over again.

Blessings,

Chris

She is Here!! Welcome Ana Karisa!!

Just a quick update to let you know we had the baby!! Yay!!!! :D Here name: Ana Karisa (pronounced A-nah Ka-ree-sah ) Born: January 30 at 9:15 PM Weight: 7'2 oz 19 inches Beautiful little girl. Here are some pictures and when I start feeling normal and not so much like a milk cow, then I will post the details of what took place on Delivery day. ( Ana about 5 minutes old) (Here she after her check up--about 30 minutes old) (Coming home!! 1 1/2 days old) We came home yesterday late afternoon, and I am lacking much sleep. I really haven't slept since last Saturday. She is nursing a lot right now to bring down my milk. I've been nursing around the clock. Almost every hour. I am doing this because she has been hungry and I need my milk to come in as soon as possible. I am showing signs today of it coming in. She is not so fussy and more content. It is so easy to forget about those newborn days. It doesn't matter how many babies you have had in the pas...

What Makes us Better Mothers? How do we View others?

What makes us better mothers? Do you homeschool or send your kids to school? Do you cloth diaper, use disposables or both? Do you breastfeed, bottle feed or both? Do you home birth, hospital birth or done both? Do you natural birth, use epidurals, or done both? Do you cook with whole foods or open up a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese? Do you home church or are a member of mega church? Do you wear a head covering, long skirts or have short hair and wear trendy clothes? Do you do attachment parenting or let your babies cry to sleep? Do you have 2 children or 20? Do you use birth control or not? Do you live on your own land/farm or do you live in a small apartment? Do you work or stay home with the kids? Do you immunize or never dare to inject your child? I am going to be very transparent and open with you all. I don't know if it's just hormones but what I have swimming in my heart and mind lately needs to come out. So this is the case for my posting this side of me. I know we can ...

A day away....

Life had become so overwhelming for me when Donnie was away with the older two children. It seemed we hardly ever had time to really talk about life anymore I started to feel disconnected with him I really don't like this feeling I am not a surface type of person and when "problems" in life begin to brew..... look out!! I will do what it takes to make things better.... Even if we have to make an emergency get-a-way... I wanted just one day... one whole day alone with him. Sooooo.... Donnie asked his sweet mom to watch the children for us while we took a little drive on over to the beach... ahhhhhh I think the beach has become one of my favorite places to be.... There is something that takes place deep in my heart when I come face to face with the massive ocean and the waves.... The breeze blows and there I find some comfort and peace... We had such a great time reflecting and revamping some of our vision, plans, and goals for...
