More 2009 the move and more

We moved to a very nice apartment in August 2009. I was very pregnant I always am when we move it seems. Everything was going great. We started preschooling in September and we were really doing good both kids had a lot of fun learning.

In the beginning of October Genevieve arrived and our lives changed again. We had alot of fun with the new baby in the house it was exhausting getting used to have 3 kids it still is pretty exhausting but its also very full filling and wonderful.

Halloween we just stayed home and had a little party just for us it was very cold and rainy that year.

We found out that Aunt Amber is pregnant and she is having a girl she is due July 5th 20010.

Thanksgiving was very nice we had Grandpa, Amber, Amanda Lee, and Ashley over.

Christmas was special but not big. The kids wrote letters to Santa and got one back which was so very cool.

New Years eve was fun, we didnt do much just had some wine and good food, the kids ate and ate and then passed out before the ball drop, I almost fell asleep feeding the baby but I managed to stay awake.

2009 Rochester

I am leaving alot out of 2009 it was not a good year for us as a family and its nothing any of us want to remember, but I will tell the good things now.

I found out I was pregnant with baby #3 in early January. We decided not to find out what we were having Chloe and Adam were convinced I was having a girl and well they were right. Chloe learned how to use the potty in March and Adam learned how to use the potty in April. Chloe turned 3 .

found this on babyfit:

Chloe and Adam ended up having dinner and birthday cake at her desk, oh and of course she opened the rest of her gifts at the desk too. She got lots of clothes she does NOT need more toys we did get her a few new puzzles which she mastered right away so now we have to get more challenging puzzles soon, thankfully Adam is still learning them so they wont be tossed aside any time soon. Chloes friend was there and brought her the dora mermaid that swims in the bath of course we had to test it out that night even tho mommy was ready to pass out lol. We also bought the mellisa and doug set of musical instruments there all real and noisy lol they love them but we only can use them at certain times hee hee.

Anywho it was a super fun day she got lots of nice stuff and had lots of fun, p.s. never buy 1 balloon when you have 2 toddlers.Adam turned 2 and got some really cute clothes, some trucks, and other random toys.

We had a nice back yard where we were staying we had a nice sized kiddie pool for the summer and Chloe and Adam loved playing with snails.

We did not have a camera where we were staying :-( so no pictures.

On Adams birthday we went to the Rochester museum of play for 4 hours it was very fun, I have never been there since I grew up in Buffalo and not Rochester. Anyways it was really great we had a blast and brought a lunch with us. He got a lot of nice clothes, trucks, books and blocks for his birthday.

Chloe and Adam; Each year you get older and you amaze me with how smart and wonderful you are.

Springville 2008

After reading this blog and seeing where I left off it was around the time that we decided to move back to the Buffalo area. We had no way of finding a place from Rochester so my brother offered us to stay at his house, he let us stay in this really big room which was very nice. I got a job at Tim Hortins and so did my brothers girl friend. We did find a place near by it was a big apartment but it wasnt the best we stayed there for a few months the landlord there was a complete jerk so we eventually moved out of there and went back to Rochester a very big mistake I think.

Chloe and Adam; We had alot of fun in springville I was able to show you my old school and you played on the new playground that was amazing and I thought our old one was the best ever but this one was the best I have ever ever seen you both loved it, they also took out the town pool and put in a sprinkler park which is way cooler and you both loved it so much you ran and played nad laughed I just wish we could have stayed in Springville it felt safe and like home but daddy did not like it, he was home sick, maybe someday we will be able to live in a fun safe place again.

Genevieves Birth story

For the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy I was in the drs and hospital more than Id like when they did an ultra sound the techs left the room and came back with a doctor he told me my fluid was very low and that they would have to put me in the hospital over night, I was not pleased. So I stayed at the hospital getting fluids and being watched and checked all night I was having on and off contractions I ended up dilating 3cm. The next day I got another ultrasound my fluids went up and they let me go home reluctantly, I told them I could not stay any longer I have kids at home. So after that they made me come 3 times that week and twice the next week for NSTs and to see if I dilated again oh and I had a few more ultrasounds. They kept telling me my baby was too small and my due date must be wrong, well since I keep a close watch on my periods I knew mine wasnt wrong they were trying to set it at the 25th of October.

So I had already lost my home birth, since I was now considered high risk. Unless I wanted to do it on my own (which I so could) but DH would not allow that. At my last appointment they set up a date for me to get the giant needle in my belly 8-O so they could see if the babys lungs were fully developed and if they were they wanted to induce me just in case I was over due, My appointment was set for the 12th.

Saturday the 10th came and I felt fine that night DH for some reason was determined to get me to go in to labor so we did the do for the first time in months he past out lol, and sure enough at 1:30am I was in labor full swing kick me in the butt labor my contractions came fast and hard. Now we dont have a car at the moment and we dont have anybody we can trust to watch the kids not to mention everyone was sick so I had to call the ambulance very scary I thought lol. Well they showed up and I got to take the longest ride of my life at least thats how it felt luckily the EMT was great he told me about how he just got back from Gana where he would deliver babies and they had to use a weird horn type thing to hear the heart beat of the woman and baby anywho he was nice and he said I was the quietest woman in labor he ever met lol.

I went in to triage where I had to get naked pee in a cup all that. The ladies were saying how I might be sent home since I hadnt progressed and the baby was still kinda high. I almost died I was in such pain and I had no way home. Thankfully my dear midwife who delivered both my other babys came in and said she wanted me admitted since my contractions were less than a minute apart. Now by the time they bring me to my room and get me "comfy" I was checked to see if I had hopefully dilated and well I was 9cm the doctor left to check the ladies in triage he told me if I felt the urge to push to let my nurse know and she would call him. Well he left the room and I was already feeling the baby come down I knew but I wanted to wait and give him time lol so next thing I know I feel that burning sensation and I knew what that was the head was there and coming there was no stopping it I looked at the nurse and was like I need to push or something she put gloves on and looked down at me and was like oh my gosh she called the dr with one hand and held the babys head with the other. The doctor runs in telling me not to push well I wasnt pushing she was just slowly inching her way out. the cord was around her neck 3 times so he had to un do that and she was a bit blue so I wasnt able to hold her right away which was a real bummer cause I didnt get to hold Adam either since he had the muc. They said from the time the dr checked me and came back in to fully deliver the baby it was 6 mins everyone was amazed all the nurses and staff came in threw out my stay saying I was amazing lmao, I was proud of myself I did it all by myself no drugs no screaming no family just lots of breathing and thinking of care a lot(yes the place the care bears live) lol. So my baby girl (I couldnt believe that) was 6lbs 12ozs my biggest baby yet 19 3/4inches. Because I did not push I was not as emotional as I was with Adam, I did miss my babys and AJ but I knew they were there for me at home sick as dogs and I talked to AJ on the phone all the time. Once again I enjoyed having that 3 days alone with the baby nurses taking care of me people bringing me food, I spent most of the time holding Genevieve and telling her about her brother and sister, explaining why daddy had to stay home and not be with us, telling her how much I love her and how I will protect her and care for her for as long as I live.

Genevieve; we gave you this name after lots of thought and research its an older fashoned name and its beautiful just like you, Jasmine is your middle name and its also a beautiful name and the flower Jasmine is amazing not only is it beautiful but its very useful they make oils, teas, syrups, incense, and perfumes.

I just remembered ...
