so yeah miss gabby is almost 6 months old and really close to crawling. i recently decided to start excersizing again. i have put on a few pounds but i am assuming its muscle because i went to old navy and learned that i dropped a jean size! as well as my first adventure ever into an express store where i learned i could fit in a size MEDIUM! i was so happy i danced and cried. it was a big moment for me. also started going back to church, which i am ok with, i watched "to save a life" and am currently doing devo2go. its for teens but considering how little i know i figure its a good place to start. hopefully i will get to update agian soon! hope you all are doing well!

i dont know if i mentioned it in my other blog but we had to bring Gabby back to the dr. on friday to check her weight. she was born at 5 pound 13 ounces but she got down to about 5 pounds 4 oz so the doc was worried about her gaining weight, so we went back to the doctor this week and she was 6 lbs 2 oz! yay! almost a pound. i had to up her formula, i started pumping breast milk and i dont get even close to what she needs..i pump 10-20 ml each time and she takes up to 90! she's a big eater!! but i felt much better knowing that she gained some weight. she can wear socks now ( even the preemie ones we have for her were to big!) and can almost fit into a new born onesie without being completely swallowed! im trying to let my milk dry up but i keep getting clogged ducts and its mega painful! so i just pump and dump mostly because gabby is also alergic to something in my regular diet..


in me news i have been really bad about my vitamins, really bad, and since i had gabby i haven't been even the slightest bit hungry, so i forget to eat and when i do eat its just apple jacks..or string cheese. i cant decide if im depressed or not, which most likely means im not, prolly just being lazy. i think i might of torn something internally and that kinda blows, it hurts on my lower left side, i had a c section for those of you that dont know. my moms dog was up on the table eating my sons food so i stood up really quickly to get him off the table and when i did i felt instant and intense pain in my tummy it's gotten better but it still burns when i walk around alot or stand up to fast.  i can't wait to see how much i weigh..my scale broke when we moved and i haven't weighed myself since before i had Gabby and then it was 197 which put me at a 19 pound weight gain from before i was pregnant. i did lose some weight during my first trimester thanks to morning sickness..but  i am going by the weight i was at my last appointment with my surgeon which was 178 so i would love to see that number on the scale or less, less would be better!  but i will take what i can get. 

wish me luck!

and she is wonderful.

she was born 3 weeks early and she's extremely small.5 pounds 7 oz currently. i tried to breast feed, and i love the closeness that i get with that. it's not for me though. i can't seem to produce enough anything, when she doesnt get formula she doesn't pee..and that is a personal cause for concern, we had a trip to the emergency room because she hadn't pooped in a week and that was no good especially because she was trying so hard to she was straining and crying and shrieking it was hard to watch i worry about her being so tiny though, my son was like 2 pounds heavier and 3 inches bigger. i know boys are supposed to be bigger but i wonder if it has anything to do with my surgery..she is long though 19 inches. i am having a rough time with the "baby blues" i had depression during and after pregnancy with my son, so i wouldnt be suprised if i have it this time. im going to try to post pictures, im really no good at it on here..which is why my avatar is still a before picture...i do have the internet now so im going to try to update more, hope everyone out there is well!

it's offical im in my last trimester! yay! i forget how hard the last few months of pregnancy really are. im gaining weight..makes me sad but i know its the baby and not me, total pregnancy weight gain is offically 10 pounds. i did buy some shoes that are similar to the 110 dollar reeboks that help tone your legs and butt when you walk. i do think they are doing some good, my calves are tighter my butt just seems to be getting bigger, not that my husband minds, i do though. we decided on the name Gabriella Rose for our daughter. i wake up all the time but welcome to being preggers right? i can't wait to meet her. as of right now her birthday is april 29th. my due date is may 3 but since im having a scheduled c section i had to pick a date within the week before my due date, i was hopeing for the 23rd which is a friday but they wont let us do it, i am trying to conserve the hubbys vacation time. who knows though babies are on their own time, just because i pick a day doesn't actually mean that she'll be here. she may come early. guess we will wait and see.

Girly!!

yay! we were really wanting a girl and we prayed our tushies off and well ask and ye shall recieve and we are getting our little girly! her name is going to be Gabriella Rose i think it's pretty and matt agrees, he doesn't have to much of a say though, he picked lijahs name so now it was my turn. my only complaint thus far is that my feet are starting to swell at night and it hurts!! no major back issues yet im gettin a touch of acne but thats most likely hormones, im not really tired like i was with lijah but i do get  sick to my tummy which i didn't do at all with lijah. at our last ultra sound she wasn't being cooperative so we have to go back next week for another one so they can take a look at her spine and something else but i honestly can't remember. so back we go, she tends to lay on a nerve close to my hip on my left side and that really hurts and i think it makes me swell more i will bring it up at the next dr. app.

that's pretty much all for now.

it's been a while so i figure why not update.

im 17 weeks preggo, im finally not having morning sickness, instead i get constant headaches. it was rough until i learned that you can rub a little peppermint oil on your temples and the back of your neck to cure a headache. i went and bought some peppermint oil. i threw up alot, i thought i wasn't having cravings really but i am. sour cream is my current biggy, when i dont want sour cream i get a jr. size frosty from wendys. not the best choice but its the smallest size they carry and i dont have one everyday.

they finally started building my parents house, we are hoping they get the main part done before snow starts heading our way.

i am a bit worried about my sucess with wl after the baby, and during though i haven't actually gained anyweight yet (thank god) i gained about 70 pounds AFTER my pregnancy with my son because of post pardum. only time will tell. i worry about the baby because of vitamins and protien, i take my prenateal and my childrens chewable 1 time a day just like the doctor says. i haven't had an ultrasound yet, we are going to find out the sex of the baby just not tell anyone. grandmas are being too nosy. i understand excitement and all but they have been asking me since my first ultrasound 6 weeks in which literally showed me cells, nothing else, there was an egg and it was fertilized but i didn't even see an outline of a child yet. they just gotta back off. after lijah was born, after 25 hours of labor and an emergency c section i didnt see my son for 12 hours after he was born, when i finally got to meet him my mom and mother in law rushed into the room and just snached him outta my hands and started taking pictures, i have been told by my mother in law that i will regret not having her there..i have already had one baby and you know what she did while i was in labor, sat in the waiting room. yup and im gonna go out on limb here and say that's pretty much what she'd be doing at the hospital this time. not only that but while i was being sewn backtogether they were screaming at nurses, and my husband. needless to say im not going to be like yes please come to the hospital and harass the staff..my mom understands my mother in law is very upset by this. its aggitating. they can hold the baby and cry all over it at home, when i say.

Im almost 11 weeks into this baby! i had my ultra sound at 6 weeks, so i got to see this itty bitty blurp on the screen. i did have a bad bad case of heartburn so bad infact i went to the er. that sucked. i thought i was having a heart attack but nope just reflux. 1100 bucks worth of heart burn. luckily i have amazing health insurance. and the only bill i have gotten is 40 bucks for the lab.

in the land of finaces, because i complained about not having money, and things were amazingly hard for us. the hubbs and i decided to take a step forward and get ourselfs out of debt, we ended up taking a loan out of his 401k the best part is that well there are like 3 bests, 1 is we paid off our car, and credit card debt. as well as cancled the credit cards. 2. we can afford groceries!!!!! and vitamins and diapers 3. no more angry phone calls.

i can breathe and not fret over silly things we will most likely move back in with my family when our lease is up so we can afford the new car we need and save a down payment for a house. i hate living in our apartment. its crappy and loud and overpriced. but with the new baby on the way and us desperately needing a car its just better for us finacially to move back with them.

i gotta go now but im sure i will get on here eventually.

yep baby number 2 is on his or her way, im exited this is not nearly asterrifiing as it was the first time around, here goes nuttin.

my birthday was also my six month surgiversary. i hit the -100 lb mark that day as well, i had hoped to be down 110 but 100 pounds in six months is still pretty good. im 25 years old now, still a mommy and still broke as all shit. but i will live, i have been looking for a job, luckily the economy is poop so i can't even get a job at the dollar store. the kid is potty trained, mostly because we couldn't afford diapers anymore but i will take it. i want to put my son in preschool but with no health insurance and the simple fact that it costs 12 bucks a shot to get his shots at the clinic not to mention that he'd need a psyical before they'd let him in means no preschool for my kid. whatever i can teach him most of everything he'd learn in preschool anyway. my parents house is being torn down and built a new thanks to code issues and the insurance thinking its cheaper to do that. my husband has graduated from college nd now has a 15,000 dollar degree in something he can't get a job in. one day we can even frame that paper but not currently. hopefully the hubs can get a job somewhere that isnot so expensive to live, and we can figure our crap out. on the upside it is a poor kid economy the dollar store and aldi see us a lot and i have been getting clothes from clearence racks for the same price i can get em used at good will so i figure might as well get it new right. i want to have another kid, as terribly white trash as it sounds, if we have another kid we can get food stamps that we currently make 10 bucks too much for, eh now im just being whiney..

i can shop in jrs departments now, the sizes are weird though at least in plus you could be a 24 one store and a 24 at another..

so in the short month or so i have been gone...
MY MOMS HOUSE BURNED DOWN!!! 

yep. i did lose my kitty. She was about 11 years old. but seeing as she and all of my laundry were the only casulaties of the house fire it could of been worse.

I am gonna be a bridesmaid. which is cool  my best friend is getting married in august so i am gonna be standing up there on team kathy yay. i  will post pictures when i can.

I walk about 4 miles a day now. and i am throwing jogging in there too. my asthma seems worse since surgery, im gonna assume this is because i never worked out before and now im doing it frequently. i keep hitting walls with the weight loss and i am mega determined to be minus 110 pounds by my birthday which is july 27th and that is also my six month surgiversary!  so i dont have much time but i also am going without protien shakes and stuff because they are too expensive, my mom bought me a multivitamin so i take those and my b 12s as regularly as i can remember and i have offically made and eaten my first lasanga with zucchini instead of pasta. it was super yummy

my tastes have changed drastically! I think white carbs are disgusting, no potatos,rice,white bread, or pasta for me thanks! in a better note i can finally eat chicken again! it took almost 6 months but here i am eatin it! i can also eat hamburger meat, i have yet to try steak or any thing like that. besides that it's pretty expensive stuff. if someone else were buying sure but not gonna happen currently.

the room mate got a job so yay for that. but its only a temp. position. My hubby is lookin for work because he recently graduated from broadcasting school and would like to use that 15000 piece of paper he bought so maybe we will move soon maybe we wont. only god knows
but for the time being things are looking up. its nice..but i wont get to comphy

hope everyone is well!
