Where Do Babies Come From

Baby News

I haven't updated in a while.... I gave birth to a baby girl on July 6th. I named her Noella. She was 7 lbs 6 oz !

Prediction..LOL

Madame Zaritska, using her mystical powers, has the following prediction:

The day you deliver, outside will be fair. Your baby will arrive in the late afternoon. After a labor lasting approximately 7 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 10 pounds, 6 ounces, and will be 17 inches long. This child will have light brown eyes and curly black hair.

BIG NEWS !!!!!!!

School is offically post poned. I am pregnant. I've known for about 2 weeks. We were not really trying but not really preventing. Its one of those if it happens it happens. I'm excited. I've already ordered maternity clothes. The summer ones are on sale because its out of season, but thats when I will be needing maternity clothes the most so I just saved a ton. I bought 3 tees for $15 that normally would have been $45. I ordered pants for work. I needed a bigger size already from gaining 30 lbs from quitting smoking, so I might as well just jump into the maternity pants.

I've had some issues with this pregnancy. I've had some left side pain that maybe a cysts. I've had 1 u/s that may have shown a small sac. I've had my beta numbers checked. They were like 2701 and 4203. Good numbers. Last night I had some pink bleeding. Scary. No blood today so maybe this is like something i had with gavin.

Anyway my care has been managed by my OB so far....I am planning to make an appointment with some midwives soon.

Brown Mackie College

I took a tour of Brown Mackie College in North Canton tonight. I was very excited to tour with a friend of mine. My friend wants to be a LPN and continue on to RN as well someday. So we are hoping to go to school together. We were given some very bad information about class schedules. The cost of school is more then 2 x the cost of any other school I have looked at. It was a major flop and disappointment. I'm still determined as ever with a little help from my friend. THANK YOU ! I came home to find another school with better possibilities. I will be calling them tomorrow. Its a matter of time, but I will be a nurse someday.

Birth Pictures

I'm feeling really sad right now. I was reading through some of my ICAN group mail when I came across some one's birth pictures during her c-section. I was under general anesthesia for my "emergency" c-section with my oldest child. I expected my husband to bring the camera in to the OR with my 2nd child. It was not my biggest concern at the time. I was about to have yet another major abdominal surgery that I didn't want and I was going to be awake for it all. YIPPEE He didn't bring the camera in. I actually don't know if they even allow it in there. I am so sad that I don't have one single birth picture. I'm on the verge of tears. Its just that upsetting. Lately I have become more and more concerned about my own fertility. I know now is not perfect time to have a child but I am still so eager to get pregnant. It would totally mess up my plans for school, but my desire for another child out weighs my education.

Too Much Stress

OK I seriously don't think I can take stressing over it anymore. I applied for federal aid for school. I have a hard time believing I can find enough help for school and daycare. I need someone to get Brian on the bus in the morning. This is if I attend Hannah Mullins day classes which is 44 weeks. Classes next start in March. There is a medical terminology course you must take before classes start in January.

Then there is the Career Center that has classes only once a year but for a full year. Classes are evening so I wouldn't have to worry so much about daycare and cost and Brian getting off to school. I wouldn't see Brian but on the weekends which I assume I will need to study too.

If I start classes in March I can start my career sooner hence make more money sooner and move out of this house. I wont have to worry about my dumb ass job I have now so much because when I start school I don't want to have to work..Just want to focus on school. If I go to the other school next fall it delays everything above and I would have to find another job for the year's time and I doubt much is out there in a recession.

My husband is also a huge pain in the ass.. don't think I have mentioned that lately.
