Really???

Poor little Arlee Bear, she is having some issues. We think we have a really gassy baby. She is so fussy and uncomfortable, she just can't be happy. Monday we switched her formula and nothing good happened she actually got fussier. She was pretty much crying the whole time she was awake, and she fights her sleep so bad. Finally I gave up and called the Dr. to tell them that something was up. So today we went for an appt and we did find out some good info. She is now with new bottles, formula, laxiatives, and acid reflux medicine. So far so good. I hope it works. Anything to make her happier!

2 Weeks Old

Here is a pic of Arlee at 2 weeks

Things have been super crazy. It is so fun to be a mom, but also a ton of work!! We have been working and waiting to have a schedule to go by but she doesn't want it that way, haha. We discovered that she has some major gas issues. She just crys and tenses up her little belly you can tell shes in pain. So, yesterday we switched her formula to see if that will help her. So far not really any improvement. I wish and hope we can find a way to help her. Other than that she is a good baby.

The first week was tough, but I had someone come stay everyday with me. Now I feel better about being home by myself. I just can't wait to get moved so we can have our family right there for help. We will be moved hopefully by the end of next month!!

We had our first Dr. appointment in Chanute last Tuesday, everything went smooth, she now weighs 7lbs 12oz.

That's all for now.....

BIG YAWN!!

Arlee Has Arrived

Hi everyone! Well Arlee finally made it here! She was born July 14 at 6:18 pm. She was 7lbs 3oz and 20 inches long. I have been really busy with everything so I will post more later, but here are some pictures!

Last Dr. Appt!

At my appt. today we decided that I needed to be induced. So, I go to the hospital Tuesday night! They are going to give me some meds to get me started, then first thing Wednesday morning break my water and everything should progress from there. She said there still is a possibility I could go into to labor before on my own, but who knows.

I haven't been nervous up until now. The thought of being in the hospital just scares me, and then all that is involved in delivering! I'm tough, but I don't like to be! I will probably be a nervous wreck until it's all over and I get to see my baby girl!

No Baby Yet

Still no baby. I have a Dr. appt. tomorrow morning, hopefully we will find out when i'm getting induced. In the mean time we drove back to Chanute Saturday to check out progress on the house. My parents and grandparents helped get Arlee's room pretty much finished, minus some blinds and pics hung up it is completed. So here are some pics of her room so far.

Thanks to my dad for putting together all the furniture!

I was rocked in this rocking chair!

My grandma made these curtains.

I don't get it

Whats the point of a due date? They give you a day and you go by that, but really they should give u a time frame. I think that would keep people from stressing out about one specific day. I read that only 10% of people actually have their babies on their due date. Whats the deal?

Not another Week!!

I am ready to pop! Went to the Dr. today hoping to hear that the baby would be coming this week. Nope, I have not dilated anymore than last week! I haven't felt any contractions or pains either. So the Dr. gave me a choice, to be induced, or to wait another week. She said if she induced me I may have an extra long labor since I have not dilated much. She said if I wait another week I may go on my own or progress a little more and be a better candidate for inducing. I decided to wait, I just want to have a good labor on my own. So if she doesn't come I will be induced Tues or Wed next week! I did lose some wieght, which we decided it was because my sweeling has went down some from not working! Its nice to see my ankles again!!

It has been nice having time off to get things done. We are completely ready for Arlee to come. It is so nice to be able to say that. Wayco and I spent the entire holiday weekend just getting things together and enjoying some time together. It has been a long time since we have had 3 day weekend together, it was so nice, we needed it!! Now, I just have to wait!! Hopefully not long!
