Today!

PP Appointment

Today I went to my PP appointment. I saw the Dr that did my c-sec. She asked what BC I wanted to be on. I told her that I didn't want it. She said that since my uterus was tore that I really needed to be on it. She said maybe something permanent or long term. I told her what my Dr said about waiting 2 years before getting pregnant again and she said that wasn't a good idea. They never know what can happen...

iCandy Diaper

After my appointment I went home and did a workout. All star workouts are awesome. Well, I decided to check the mail to my surprise I had a package... it was my iCandy Diaper from Urban Fluff that I won from Beth at Happily Domestic. She had an iCandy review and giveaway and I won!!!!WOOO HOOOO I love it! I picked the pick monkey design. As soon as I have a camera I can post pictures of Teresa in it. Also, write about how it works and if I like it or not. I'm sure I will though!

Brown Sugar Face Scrub

My cousin had posted a link to a brown sugar face scrub. I knew I wanted to try it as soon as my face scrub ran out. Today I asked my husband if he could get the ingredients that we didn't have here for the scrub and when he got home I made it! I also washed my face with it as soon as I put it in my glass jar. It made my face real soft and I loved the way it smelled. The only thing was after I told my husband to touch my face. His hands were oily after and I looked at mine and my hands were also real greasy looking and feeling. My face was too.. I washed my hands with some soap and then got a paper towel and went over my face with it. I don't know if the oil would clog my pores or not. Well anyways I really do like it the only thing is the oil. Tomorrow I'm probably going to add a bit more brown sugar to the mix :)

Little miss model!

I was looking on HollomanYardSales and found a lady that wanted newborns to take pictures of for her portfolio. I emailed her and told her that my daughter will be 7 weeks (which she was Sun) but she was the size of a newborn. She was giving out 10 free birth announcements also! We had our appointment this morning at 9am. We were there for about 3 hours! Teresa was not wanting to do any of the poses. The photographer wanted one in particular where she lays on her tummy with her hands under her chin while she slept. First off, Teresa decided she was not going to sleep the whole time we were there. So, we were still going to try it. She cried every time we attempted to put her like that. Actually she cried about the whole time we were there. She wanted to be held. I had to pick her up numerous times to calm her down then slowly put her back down. She would then get about 4 to 7 pics before she started crying again. She put her in different hats and positions and even wrapped her and laid her in a basket. The photographer takes beautiful pictures. She started 1 1/2 years ago and if you ask me she is pretty good! She is going to give me a link to the pics and since she is older we aren't doing the announcements ( we actually have some that we NEED to get in the mail still ) she is giving me 2 pics of my choice. The other pics she would put on a CD if I wanted for a price that she would tell me later since we didn't get her normal amount of pictures. I can see why she wanted newborns... they are easier to work with! As soon as I get my pics I will post!

I want my camera!!!!!!!

So, I got this very much wanted and needed camera for Christmas from my awesome brother. I took a few pictrures with it and put it away. Nobody touched it while in my bag that I had to take to the hospital when I had my baby. Well Jan 17th we took my bag along with my camera to the hospital to take pictures of my daughters birth....
It was VERY disappointing when we went to take a picture and the battery just died. My husband went out and got new bateries (after she was born) we put those batteries into the camera and it said low battery and turned off! Now everytime I turn it on the lense comes out and the camera turns off without the lense going back in. My hubby called the company(not mentioning the name) They sent him an email on how to send it in to get fixed. We should be doing that shortly. I just want my camera working! Im missing out on so many pictures that I can be taking of my new baby and son :( As soon as I get it there will be some major updates and pictures on here!!!
By the way today is my wonderful husbands birthday.. Too bad we don't have my camera I could have taken a picture of him the day he turned 39!

Nothing is ever the way I planned it to be!

It's funny how we think something is going to be one way and then when that time comes it's nothing like we planned. When I was pregnant I said " I'm going to breastfeed with no problem because I won't substitute with formula or give her a binky. Also I'm going to nurse her within 1 hour of her being born." Well, my daughter was born Jan 17, 2010 at 5lbs 11oz. I didn't get to nurse her within that hour like I planned. She was so sleepy from all the meds that they gave me for my c-section that she didn't wake to eat until 1:12 am (she was born 1:36pm) She was always latched yet she was losing weight like crazy. I felt like I was doing something wrong. I even had thoughts that I might just HAVE to give her formula even though I didn't want to. It didn't help that when we went to her weight check just 5 days after she was born she was now 4lbs 13oz. It broke my heart thinking that my milk wasn't doing it for her. I'm glad that I had a cousin and an aunt to talk to they were reassuring and made me have that boost again.. Yes, I knew I could do it! Well, she started gaining weight slowly but it didn't matter she was packing on the ounces!

I feed her when she wants. I don't care about minutes and the time anymore. The only thing that I need to get down is what side she was on last. Since she eats so often I never remember! We did it and I wouldn't change anything. This way when I do have another one I will be prepared just in case this happens again.

Another thing is I was so worried about her not having a crib when I found out I was pregnant with her. My son didn't have one and slept in a playpen. He wouldn't go to sleep if anyone was around. If Shelby or I were holding him he would just cry until we swaddled him and put him in his playpen with then lights off and the door closed. He HAD to have his heartbeat music therapy CD on also (until 2yrs) without it he wouldn't sleep! Well, I wanted her to have a crib and not have to sleep in a playpen. One of my aunts let me borrow one that they had for her grandson Eddie. A friend of mine from church gave me a bedding set also. I thought she was going to go to sleep in there every night and for naps. Since that's the way Eddie Rey was. It didn't happen like that. She is my high need baby who LOVES to be held 24/7. I don't even sleep in our room. I have a new bed in there for me as well as her crib. Her and I sleep in the recliner in the living room. It's just so much easier when she wants to eat to just feed her there. I've tried sleeping in my bed with her and she doesn't like me feeding her laying down. So, there is no use in us even having a crib!

I also wanted to have a nice pretty little swing for her. It even matches her bedding! She NEVER wants to be in there. The longest she was willing to be in there was 2 min if that!

I have a bassinet that a friend let me borrow..of course she doesn't sleep in it. I have junk in there now! Her playpen that we have that has a bassinet in it and changing table is still folded up and in the closet.

Like I said there were so many things that I had planned out to go a certain way. She is so much different than her sisters and brother. :) It's ok though.. I love her all the more for it! I know she is going to surprise me her whole life! :)
