But where do I find the time?
Before I forget:
The new baby’s blog name is going to be America (since she was born on the 4th of July). 
Yesterday, America laughed in her sleep. 
You all will think I’m lying, but I swear, she’s already cooing and smiling at us too.  She even squealed at me on Tuesday.  I’ll [...]

Birth Story (Part 1)

Posted in Uncategorized on July 21, 2008 | 6 Comments »

I don’t even know where to begin.  When did my labor really start?  The week before my mom arrived, I started having serious braxton hicks contractions.  I was up all night one night, wondering if it was time, and hoping I could hold off before my mom got here.  Then my mom arrived and although I [...]

Monday, Monday

Ahhh, it’s taking some time, but maybe today I’ll get this birth story posted.  I don’t know what it is about Mondays since the baby has been born, but this Monday was just as hectic as last Monday!  Scott called me at 8 a.m. to tell me that he was rear-ended (but was okay).  Good news [...]

I should be blogging my birth story, and I can’t wait to do so, but for now, I just have to put in a quick post to say we have spent the last 2 days dealing with a lice infestation!  Imagine my horror, coming home from the hospital on Saturday with a newborn and discovering lice [...]

The Real Thing?

Well, this is Melissa’s mom.  First, let me say that I am not the writer that Melissa is.  She can write things and make them so interesting, just full of life.  But I told her that I’d try to keep everyone informed, so here I am.
Melissa has been having steady contractions now for several hours, [...]

What is it about the night that makes my uterus want to work?  I was up all night again.  The contractions became more intense and eventually I got out of bed and headed downstairs with a couple of pillows and sat on the recliner part of my couch.  I had the heating pad on, which [...]
