hi there!

oh my gosh! I'm so bad at this when i was pregnant with Sadie i was so good at writing all the time now

not so much this little miss keeps me on my toes and that plus housework and work work i have hardly a

single minute to my self. so here is an update Sadie is seven months old today, has four teeth loves to roll

around is beginning to get up on all fours. her favorite toys are her tigger and her violet pal. she loves to

talk (boy are we in for it) and dance.she claps and giggles all the time. she is am awesome sleeper and

has slept through the night since she was a month old yay for us!! we did have to stop breastfeeding

working and getting sick at a bout three months totally dried me up there fore screwing up everything but

I've decided that at least she is getting food and now its hard to get her to take a bottle now she just wants

solids. my Sadie bug has her daddy's hair its red red red and i don't think its gonna change now. she has

my blue eyes. she likes peeps hahah she so funny with them. well that's all for now I'm gonna be better i

promise!!

wet nursing among other things

i can not belive that my baby sadie is almost a month old already its not fair! i dont  want  to go back to work. well other then that everthing is going great sadie dose great at night for a 3 week old and only gets up 2 times a night and 4 times on a bad night. i cant beilve how big she is and she eats like its going outta style. i produce a ton of milk and have had to pump to prevent geting mastitice because she never gets the girls compleatly empty and i want to keep my supply up too and its even more important to me now. ive been praying for a way that i can help someone else and yesterday my nana called me and told me there is a family in her ward that has a baby in primary childrens who cant eat formula or cows milk and the mother cant nurse. they need help geting breast milk and my nana thought of me. now i had not told anyone in my family that i had been wanting to maybe donate my milk i had looked into it online but there was alot of tests i would have to do. honestly i was willing to do those tests to help someone but helping this family while it is easier by far its closer to home and selfishly i can see the results of helpping this family insted of just sending it to california to be pasturized

our birth story.

i never made it to tuesday. Saturday morning felt just like any other morning tired and not wanting to go to work my husband had sprayed the house for bugs and the smell was killing me so i got ready for work and went and sat on the grass until it was time for him to drop me off. my father in law came out and we started to talk about my induction and what i hoped it would be like then he left and i started towards the basement stairs. at the top, just as i was about to descend i felt a big gush like i had just lost control of my bladder. i just stood there in shock what the heck just happened?! meanwhile my husband was coming up the same stairs and saw me just standing there he asked me if i was okay and i said i think i just peed my pants! so i walked down to our apartment and changed no sooner had i put my pants on i felt another gush of fluid i started to change for a third time i put on shorts it happened again. i then turned to my husband and said i think its my water, its time to go to the hospital. i had left my phone in my locker at work the day before (stupid me!) so i couldn't call and tell work i wasn't coming in it was 11:50 i was due at work at noon oops! anyway we grabbed the hospital bags and went upstairs to tell the in laws where we were going and borrowed a towel (i forgot to grab one when i was down stairs) while hubby put his shoes on. i was just standing in their kitchen with fluid leaking down into my shoes feeling so very embarrassed finally we were in the truck on the way to the hospital it was a short ride not any time to think at all about what was going to happen,five minutes later we were in the lobby of the hospital the whole back side of my shorts were soaked and i felt like a grade school er who had peed her pants and had to walk to the office to call her mom lol. we got to labor and delivery and i said i thought my water had broken they quickly admitted me. we got settled in the room and and found out that my Dr was still out of town though on his way home soon. i was a bit worried id go to fast and he would miss it but at the time i wasn't having any contractions nor was i dilated anymore then i had been at my last appointment. they wanted to start pitocin after 2 hours finally i stared feeling them a little before my mom got there they hardly hurt. the first nurse i had told me i had to labor laying down because of the med they were giving me but that hurt i wanted to sit but she said no she grumbled when i said i had to use the bathroom i really didn't like her i told her my birth plan and she didn't follow it at all my next nurse was amazing the first nurse hadn't told the the Dr that my fluid was green Sadie had gone potty already but my first nurse when i told her just said "OK" and went on with what ever she was doing when Michell came in she explained what it was and what the Dr said about it . when i told her i didn't want an epidural she helped me and my birth coaches do techniques to lessen the pain ( sitting, standing, the birth ball etc.) with her help i was able to go 10 hours with almost no pain medication at all we tried a dose of morphine but it turns out that i am allergic to it! at ten pm after my Dr had gotten there nothing was helping contractions any more i was having them right on top of each other with no breaks in between because of the pitocin so my Dr came in and advised me that it would be best to have an epidural but it was still up to me then he said because at this point i had progressed at all that there may be a c section that need to happen and that i need to be aware that it might happen but at this point we could wait or just do it then. I opted for the epidural and waiting. a few hours later my brother and father in law came and gave me a wonderful blessing. i was instantly calmed and was assured that everything was going to work out and that baby would be okay and that it didn't matter to me anymore how she came. the nurse checked me at 2 am and said i had gone to a four finally! i felt happy she told me to take a nap i tried but about an hour later i was feeling pressure i called the nurse she said she would check me in 20 min after the epidural had warn down a bit so when she did she said your a 10!! lets start pushing. my mom and husband held my legs and helped me through it was hard and painful i was only half numb so i felt her head and shoulders be delivered which is what really wanted it hurt but it was worth it. i did tear a little but again it was worth it. our little peach was born on Sunday august 21st at 5:43am she was 7lb 2oz and only 18.5 inches shes so little! she is an awesome baby and very good at letting us sleep she had a heart murmur at birth and a left arm weakness but the Dr is not concerned so i wont be until he is. she also failed her hearing test on the right side then nurses redid it 3 times for me but it always came back a fail im trying not to worry bout it they say lots of babies fail at first then nothing is wrong but its really hard for me not to since it was my biggest worry my whole pregnancy. all in all its been the best experience of our life. we love  her to death and Eli is so precious with her i cant wait for more adventures with our Sadie Ruth!!!! love you all and we will keep you all posted!!!!
here are some pictures!!!

3days to go!

and 2 days about left of work! im so happy but so tired lol i know that this is just the beginning. at least when shes here it will seem much more worth it to be tired all the time. can not wait for miss Sadie ruth adams!!!

Eviction date set for august 23rd 2011!! XD

yesterday i went to the doctor again and found out that i have made pretty much no progress in the Sadie getting here campaign still at a 2 oh well im fine with that now because i found out that next tuesday i will be induced!!! the doc said he dose not like fist time moms to go over their due date because he doesn't like babies to get to big so im being induced 2 days before my actual due date and im praying that she doesn't come before that my Dr is going out of town for two days this week and i would rather nobody else deliver her. plus i love the idea of just going in and all calm and getting set up it all having been planed now i know that this is not realistic and you can plan for when a baby comes but just the thought is very comforting to me and has really helped me relax so nobody jinx me please and every body pray that we make it to tuesday. i cant see how things will change i went from having tons of contractions to virtually none at first this made me mad but now that im getting an induction im very grateful. i know its kinda bad but i kinda hoped i would be induced even though i know it will be harder to go with out a epidural because pitocin makes your contractions pretty bad but im so very excited to meet our little girl ive been dreaming about this day for along time and now its so close. i still dont feel scared or anything which i find kinda weird but maybe its because i know exactly whats going to happen and that the Dr will know whats going on even if i dont. this is just going to be a happy thing no matter what and im going to maintain this attitude whether i get my unmediated birth, an epidural or, heaven forbid a c section. any way my daughter needs to get here is fine with me i just want her here and healthy! im so happy guys and i cant wait to start my adventure as a mother i know it will be bumpy and hard but i think its worth it.

still a'cookin!

well no baby yet.
its getting a bit aggravating last Monday i thought it was it i was at my moms and i started having contractions 3 minutes apart for an hour i finally decided it was time to go to the hospital so we called the hubby up and told him to grab the bag and meet us over there. i get over there and get all hooked up to the monitors and i really am having contractions some of them so bad i dry heave. they check me and say im at a one! i say uh no my Dr said im at a 2 and have been for 3 weeks and the nurse retorts well your Dr measures big. uh OK??? no but what ever your a nurse so obviously you don't know much. any way my contractions stay steady and only space out to like a four although i was counting them at 2 because i was feeling them more in my back and the nurse told me that if that was the case then the monitor they were using wouldn't pick them up as good...... great! i was really sorta rude to the nurses at this point they really had ticked me off. then the icing on the cake...... she checks me again after an hour and she pushes so hard up there that she makes my spine ache my Dr has never hurt me at all when he checks and then she says that ive made no progress so they are sending me home i was really mad. then she gave me percet i hate that stuff it makes me not able to sleep and on top of that i was still getting contractions 3 min apart and had that until wednesday.
on tuesday i saw my Dr and he did a membrane sweep to help move things along but still no success yet i see him again this tuesday i may ask for another sweep or maybe he will tell me that we are ready to go and to head over hahaha not likely but hey  a girl can hope right!?!

Tick tick tick..........boom? is she ever coming soon???!?

So the week is pretty much over and no baby yet. im trying to not let it bother me but im so ready for her just to be here already. her room is done and mamas done being in constant pain all the time and i just want to hold my daughter. I've told her that its okay for her to come out now she obviously isn't budging. i have contractions all the time they start out close together but then they move apart its driving me CRAZY! im tempted to ask my Dr to sweep my membranes next appointment but i don't know if he will since i will just be almost 38 weeks i want things to get moving I'd like her to come while my uncle is out they are never here so I'd like them to be able to see her. also her godmother is in town until wednesday and i would love it if she could be there too! im sick of people asking me why im still at work and that they thought she would be here by now. you guys are so not helping!!! i don't want to be at work and you know i want her here more then you do so stop talking about it!!!
my husband is just so laid back about it. drives me nuts he says she will get here when shes ready. ive tried to be patient like him but he also doesn't have to carry this big old belly and have lots of  pain. i feel like a walking time bomb every little pain im like is this it? no! is this it?? NO! dang it im so on edge and that's probably not helping anything. i want it to be tuesday so my Dr can check me and say oh hey Sarah your a 5 and 100% effaced head to the hospital I'll meet you over there! wouldn't that be grand!!alas it probably wont happen like that but a girl can dream cant she lol.
i really kinda hope shes on the smaller side i was 5lb 13 oz when i was born maybe she will be similar i just think it would be better for me if i didn't deliver a 9lb baby im really not that big so i doubt i have room in my belly for a 9 pound er ha ha.
today i had a really hard day i haven't been able to stay awake hardly i even fell asleep at work! i woke up at 7:30 this morning and went right back out at 10 thank goodness my husband was home or i would have just slept all day he woke me at 11:30 and i fell asleep in the truck on the way to work (which is only at the most a 5 min drive pathetic i know) then one at work i fell asleep 3 times and then again at the work party. when i got home from work i slept another 2 hours until i woke up with really bad stomach and back pain and sad to say i will probably be going back to bed around 10 and sleep through the night. doses this mean something? is this the calm before the storm? or am i just turning in to a narcoleptic lol i think Sadie's been asleep most of  the day too if any one knows if this is normal or not please let me know. im tired of feeling like my volcano belly is going to mount vesuvius any moment!!!!!!
