Ok ya'll! I am going to attempt to get back into blogging! Bare with me while I try to revamp it and make it fancy! LOL! I hope you will start reading it again!!!

Ryder Matthew!!!!

Ryder Matthew was born on March 11, 2010 at 9:34 am! My c/s was scheduled for 9am and they pretty much got me back there right on time! It was SO weird! Almost like it wasn't real! The cord was wrapped around his neck 1 time. He weighed 8lbs 5oz and was 21.75 in long!!! He was born at 38wks 3 days...I'm thinking they should have changed my due date back...It was originally the 11th and then they changed it to the 22nd! ACK!!!! We are SO glad he's out so we know he's okay...It was a LONG stressful pregnancy! I will see if I can email blogger some pics!!!! Hope you all are doing great!!!!

Wound up back in OB triage! ACK!

I'm telling you this kid is driving me CRAZY already! JEEZ!!!

Go to OB appt...Nervous about it, since last time wound up in the hosp! She measures my stomach...I'm 30wks, 1 day...It measured 35cm(which would be about 35wks)...Then I tell her all my aches and pains and how Ryder doesn't move that much, etc...I get a non stress test...they don't like the results, so they send me to OB triage for more testing and they do a biophysical profile(BPP) u/s...So that ends up fine and his NST at the hosp was fine...But I have alot of amniotic fluid the nurse said...AND they didn't measure Ryder like my OB wanted, so I'm going to call tomorrow and see if they want to make an appt for an u/s, since they just did the BPP, not a reg u/s....ACK...

Spent last week in the hosp...FUN

SO....I have asthma...I've had it since I was a kiddo...Usually it doesn't bother me quite so much, but these days that I'm preggo...It's been a pain in my ass...Seriously. Usually during the winter months, I just get a bad cough that doesn't go away til spring...No biggie right? Apparently that's not good when you are preggo...

So I went to my OB appt last Monday(the 21st)--Keep in mind that it was the start of my winter break and I, of course, had all sorts of plans...And she listens to me and asks about my cough...So I start telling her and then I have a coughing fit right there in the office...SO NOT GOOD...She wanted me to go to OB triage to make sure Ryder fine and then move on to ER to get chest x-ray...She was going to just give me antibiotics and then order an x-ray, but she didn't want to give antibiotics if they weren't needed...SO...I drop Hayden off at my friends house...Meet my mom at triage...Move on to ER...Was in ER FOREVER...they did 3 breathing treatments and none of them helped...SO...they decided to admit me....I got admitted Tues early morning and continued to have breathing treatments and steriods pumped in...Fast forward to Christmas Eve--still in hospital...New dr on...he tells me I have to stay and I break down and started crying...I hadn't seen Hayden since Monday and I'd barely seen Clint, since kids aren't allowed due to flu season....And he felt bad...So he worked it out and I was able to go home late afternoon Christmas Eve....
Talk about depressing though...I cried everyday I was in there...And everyone thought it was a vacation...If Hayden would have been able to visit, wouldn't have been that big of a deal...Plus he refused to talk to me on the phone and hardly anyone visited me, because it was Christmas week and they were trying to get shit done! The only reason I was able to get out was because there was a different dr on that day...If it had been the same jerk off I'd been seeing, he wouldn't have cared...
On another note, Christmas was good...Hayden was glad when I was finally home and said how much he missed me! Aww...He got wayyyy too much stuff! But he was happy! He said "this is the BEST Christmas ever!" He's such a cutie though...I have a ton of pics that I still haven't uploaded...So some day I will do that!
Clint took his ASVAB on Wednesday for the Army...He qualifies for all the jobs that he wants...Justneed to lose the weight now and see if one opens up! And one last thing, my c/s is scheduled for March 15, 2010 at 9am! Yay!!! Can't wait! Nervous for another c/s, but should be SO much better than pushing and then having one...Kind of hoping that Ryder wants to come earlier than that...Probably won't though...

Still here!

I'm still here! LOL! Thanks Nancy! I've been sick for a couple weeks, I had a sinus/ear infection and then I was stressed becauase Ryder wasn't moving as much as usual...He's a lil more active than last week, but still not back to normal! Anyone else have this? I'm still stressed about it, but everyone says that as long as I can feel him sometimes, it's fine! I'm 25wks today! OMG! 15(well if they do c/s a week early 14) more weeks!!! Man, this pregnancy has been SO completely different than with Hayden! I've been having pain I don't know where it's coming from, although I'm thinking maybe braxton-hicks? I never had a contraction w/ Hayden and then when I was in labor, I got the epi early and even though they turned it almost completely off, I didn't feel contractions, only burning pain! Ack! But I will be doing a scheduled c/s, so I am SO happy for that! I will know when I am having him, unless the lil shit decides to grace us w/ his presence early...I'm fine w/ that, as long as it's not TOOOO early! I think I am more paranoid this time around, maybe because we were trying for awhile?! I don't know! Any advice ya'll can give me would me great...I feel like I've never been pregnant! Clint's going back to the Army recruiter on Friday...Yikes...SO nervous about that! It's such a HUGE decision, ya know? He's been studying up on math and stuff...He wants a specific job and doesn't want his ASVAB score to bring him down and not be able to get that job! Let's see...What else? Oh did I mention that I may try to put Hayden in Kindergarten early? Well, if we are still here! He's doing AWESOME in pre-k and I don't want him to get bored, so I'm thinking maybe putting him in K next year...Depends on the rest of the year of course, but that's where we are headed! That kid has been SO ornery! And he acts like he's 16! He's going to be 4 in less than a month(barely, lol)! But man, that kid has an ATTITUDE! How do I get rid of it? I've tried timeouts and things like that, but it just pisses him off even more! HELP! I've said a mouthful-so hope you had fun reading my ramblings! That's what I've been doing lately, is just rambling! Haa haa!!! I will try to post more...I'm just so damn tired these days! Maybe...Just maybe...If ya'll are lucky, maybe I will post a pic!

Finally--A post! :P

Such a slacker...I know, I know...

Anywhoo..So this pregnancy is coming along! I'm a fatty anyways--So it's hard to say whether I just look fatter or actually look preggo now! LMAO! Who knows...Some days I feel people can totally tell, other days, not so much!

Monday I will be 23wks! Holy moly! I have another dr appt and u/s on Monday. They weren't able to get good enough pics of his spine at the last one...Works for me! I love seeing my baby! Hayden's SO excited to be a big brother! I'm trying to figure something out to get Hayden from Ryder when he is born! I've read lots of ideas, but just don't know what is right for us! What else? Oh yeah--I will be 26(OMGosh-I almost put 23! Where am I?) tomorrow! WOOT WOOT! I love my birthday for some reason...Don't usually do much for it...Maybe I think as I get older things will get better? Crazy lady, I know!

Hmmm...What else? Oh yeah...Clint is thinking of joining the Army...Not sure what else to do at this point...What with the economy and all...Think that's pretty much it...I will try to update after my u/s on Monday! Oh yeah! OMG-I had a dream I had conjoined twins and we found at the u/s appt! Then that morning on the news there was a story about some conjoined twins! Freakin ass weird though man!

We are having

a






BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His name will be Ryder Matthew!!!!!!!

Bullets of updates! :P

Okay. So ALOT has happened since the last time I wrote! I know, I know..Slacker over here!!! I'm going to do bullets, if that's okay with you!

• I had my 2nd prenatal visit! Baby's heartbeat was 160! Went great!
• I had been having this feeling to where it feels like my heart stops-so I went to ER, since it was happening like over long periods of time, so I went a cardiologist and my heart looks great...And what do you know...I haven't had them since last week, when I went to ER and stuff!!!
• Hayden is learning how to trace his name! It is SO cute! I can't believe he will be 4 in Jan!!! OMG--My lil baby!
• Speaking of Hayden--he had his toenail appt...He's got weird,paper thin, nails and I wanted to be sure he's okay! So I went and he has to eat lots of fruits and veggies that are good for the liver and goes back in Nov...Now, I'm not sure if specialist thinks he's got an issue w/ the liver or what..those are just my instructions-So any prayers you could toss our way would be great...Just in case!
• Clint and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary yesterday! Aww..Hayden was 8mths and walked me down the aisle w/ my Daddy in Vegas...He looked SO cute...I will see if I can find some wedding pics, to show ya'll! :P Clint and I have been together almost 6 years! WOW!
• Clint's depressed about his upcoming birthday in Oct...He'll be 26 and in Nov I will turn 26! I can't believe how time flies!!!
• But it seems like this pg is DRAGGING! Maybe it's because we wanted it SO bad and now we finally have it? I don't know...But it's pissing me off! I want to know what we are having! I keep referencing it as a "she" and so does Hayden! LOL! He's SO excited!
• And my morning sickness is GONE! WOOT WOOT!! I never had that w/ Hayden, so it was NOT FUN!
• I'm going to be 14 weeks on Monday!!!! YAY!

Guess that it's for now...Think I'vfe highlighted all the big stuff! OH WAIT!!! We are MOVING! YAY!!! Currently we live w/ our friend who is remodeling his house, w/ NO kitchen and hardly ANY room! So we are moving on the 30th to our own place! It's tiny--but it'll do for a year and then we can find someplace bigger and better and hopefully...Hopefully be able to buy our own place in a year!!!

Anywhoo--I'm off to MNO w/ some friends! It's game night!!! LOL! I will *try* to update more! I just feel like a dork if I have nothing to say! LOL! Take care!!

Vote for Hayden! :P

I put Hayden in a blog contest and need you guys to vote for him! You will see him--I used the same pic that's on top of my blog! I think it's the CUTEST!!!! So please---Check out Lauren's blog and vote my lil guy!!!! TIA!!!!!

HEY!

I'm still alive! LOL! This baby is kicking my ass! I've been sick and not feeling good at all! UGH! It wasn't like this with Hayden, so it's all new! Anywhoo! I hope you all are doing great!!!

1st OB appt!

Had my 1st ob appt yesterday! OMG--This is REAL! I keep thinking it's a dream that I am going to wake up from...I am 9wks3days today! I have an u/s scheduled for Monday at 12:30! I cannot even wait...Maybe then it will seem real! We are still in shock...I'm hoping it's a girl!!!! Hayden at one point has said he wants 8 brothers!!! UMMMMM....NO kiddo! Now he's saying he wants a brother AND a sister! LOL...He's really excited though! I've been SO sick w/ this one...I mean this is my 3rd pg...The 1st one I m/c @ 10wks...But w/ that one and Hayden I didn't even realize I was pg! With this one, my belly is all over the place...I got a script @ the dr yesterday for a pill for that since I have to go back to work next Wedneday! My edd is 3/11/10!!! WOW...

I'm PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to the dr yesterday, just so I could get a pill to start AF, since I haven't had her since June 3, which for me...Is sometimes normal! Well, they did a pg test...and I am PREGNANT!!!!!! 6-8wks!!! Will probably be due sometime in March!!! I have my 1st OB appt next week!!!!! I *still* cannot even believe this!!! We are SO excited! We've been waiting a long time for this and it's hard to believe that it's actual true!!!!!!!

Wisdom Tooth

Umm...I think I have an impacted wisdom...It's hurting SO bad...OMGosh...Anywhoo...Have an appt tomorrow @ noon...Wish me luck...I hate going to the dentist...

Happy 4th of July!!!

Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th!!!

Quick update about us...
We are considering buying a mobile home if an owner will finance, since we have bad credit-there's no way we can buy a house, plus we can't really afford it...What else? I'm still jobless, but I go back to work in Aug!!! I cannot wait to have money again...We've been BEYOND broke with only Clint working, it has pretty much sucked...Although Iwill miss spending time w/ my lil man, but jeez...LOL...Hayden will be 3.5 in 2 days..I cannot believe in 6 months my lil man will be 4!!!! Holy cow...And that's all he can talk about is his birthday! He's such a goofy boy--I wish you guys could meet him. Oh and I'm waiting on AF, so I can officially start our TTC break...I've come to terms with the break, I think. It still makes me sad, but I'm so worn out on trying. I don't know how people can try for SO long...My cousin tried for at least 10yrs I think and then finally had enough money for an IUI and got pg that way and now her son is already a year old! But after 2 yrs...Man, I'm just tired of this crap...I have to hand it to the women who try for years and years and years...I don't know how much longer *I* can take it. I'm not sure if it's because I've concieved 1 child, so maybe my brain thinks I should be able to have another? Or what? It's just frustrating! GRR... Enough about that! My dh Clint lost 30 lbs!!! WOOHOO!!! He looks fantastic! His goal was 40, I think, and today was the end of it, but man he lost 30 and he always gets compliements...Me on the other hand...Have only lost 12lbs...Oh well...I haven't been that into it either, so my fault...OH and our city isn't doing fireworks this year because they don't have any money! WTH?! So I'm not sure what we are going to do...Have a safe one everyone!

Taking a break :(

Yep, we are going to take a break from TTC...I'm bummed, it feels like wasted time ya know? Clint thinks we need it mentally, which I'm sure we do. But I'm still bummed. The longer it takes, the farther apart our kids are going to be. Everyone keeps saying maybe when we aren't thinking about something will happen, I don't agree, but one can hope right? Wish us luck on this break!

Yikes, Father's Day....

Yep--Such a slacker right now! I cannot even believe that Father's Day is THIS Sunday! WTH?!?!?!?! Where did the time go! I was *just* looking at the calendar thinking I have a few weeks! Crapola! I feel like the Dads are going to get jipped this year since I'm not working! Everything that I got for the Mother's Day was homemade w/the exception of the boxes, but Hayden painted those...I don't even have the money to buy something for Hayden to make! Wish it was the school year right now! UGH! I hate not having money! :(

Any ideas? So far, I'm going to make a coupon book. WOW--LOL...And then copy a poem for Clint w/ Hayden's handprint or footprint or something like that! Oh and a painting from Hayden! But what else? I need like a *major* thing..Like for Mothers Day-the boxes were the major thing--the other things were just supporting it, KWIM?!

Pinkeye...UGH...

Thats what I was diagnosed w/ this morning at urgent care...Fantastic...I just hope the entire household doesn't get it...I tried to take necessary precautions, just in case...But dammit...I was using Hayden's old pinkeye drops! And they didn't do anything! They gave me a different kind and my eyes feel better already! Whew...

Just checking this out. I added my phone to my blog. Fun! Lol.

It has come to my attention....

That I have been a slacking blogger...by Morgan. So thanks girl! To be honest...Shit's been going on and I just haven't felt like blogging. Sorry. I'm going to the do the bullet thing for recent updates...I know I know...BORING....

~I still haven't found a summer job...CRAP..But really, right now-it maybe kinda pointless...School resumes like Aug 8th or 10th or something like that...By the time someone actually hires me, I probably only end up working like 3 or 4 wks maybe...

~Hayden's behavior is FANTASTIC now...We were having super bad behaviors for the longest time...So we started a star chart for him and he can earn 1 star everyday...Usually he gets 5 stars which he can get a new car for that...The past 2 wks and looks like this week, he got 7 stars, which consists of either going to Bounce U or whatever he wants...I'm amazed...We've been doing this since March...

~I think I have an eye infection...It looks like pinkeye-but doesn't itch like pinkeye-and the stuff in there isn't green like pinkeye...Hurts SOOO bad though and feels like it's going to explode...FUN Stuff

~I haven't talked to my mom since the day before Mothers Day...She *finally* text Hayden yesterday...I've been so pissed that she hadn't done that and she finally did...and that was it...

~Obviously I did NOT get a bfp in May...SO pissed at that too...I did have an ob/gyn appt(that's who I'm having help me get pg, not an RE) and I think I'm going to switch dr...He put me on the same shit I was on for 3 months...Rather than try metformin, he put me back on dexamethasone and clomid...GRRR...Why try that again? It didn't work the 3 mths I took it!

I think tha's it...Nothing too spectacular here...And thanks Morgan for thinking about me! I feel special! LOL!

Take care...Will hopefully have a FUN update soon..
