<ul>
<li>Growth & Development</li>
<ul>
<li>17lbs 5 oz; 26.5 in</li>
<li>Size 6-12 mo, 12 mo, 9 mo clothes </li>
<li>Still no teeth</li>
<li>Says ga ga, da da, ma ma, ya ya, ba ba</li>
<li>Crawling!! :D</li>
<li>Stands more steadily while holding on to something. Can bend down to pick something up.</li>
<li>Can pull herself up by herself.</li>
<li>Points on touch and feel book where you are supposed to if you show her.</li>
<li>Bangs toys together; drops toys in box or pretends like she is going to drop them.</li>
<li>Goes from laying down to sitting up. </li>
<li>Looks for me while in crib; leans on bumper, pulls up on rails onto her knees</li>
</ul>
<li>Schedule</li>
<ul>
<li>Her morning naps are pretty short, lasting around 30 minutes. She take one long nap at some point during the day lasting 1.5-2.5 hours. </li>
<li>Bath time is at 6pm, bottle at 6:30pm; rocks with Daddy before going down at 7pm.</li>
<li>Wakes up between 6:30am-7:15am.</li>
</ul>
<li>Few firsts/Favorites/More about this stage</li>
<ul>
<li>Rolling around, on the move, doesn't want to sit still. I can hardly get her to sit still while I change her diaper or her clothes.</li>
<li>Napping less during the day.</li>
<li>Eating solids 3 times a day. Drinks water out of sippy cup but more in accidental kind of way- plays with it mostly.</li>
<li>Sits in crib all the time. I have started back rocking her to sleep before naps because otherwise she will sit there for forever. When she wakes up sometimes she will just sit there and play until I go get her.</li>
<li>Had first bite of something other than baby food (ice cream). Daddy gave it to her on his birthday.</li>
<li>Eats puff snacks, can feed herself.</li>
<li>Pulls up all by herself on laundry basket and crib rails (while standing outside of crib).</li>
<li>Gets out of bumpo chair by leaning and reaching for something so no more sitting chair up in high places unless plan to watch her the whole time.</li>
<li>Sits in grocery cart and high chair.</li>
<li>First Halloween; was an elephant. Forrest said she was a "little Republican" being that it was right before the Presidential election. Ha ha</li>
<li>Holds bottle herself if not too heavy.</li>
<li>Walks a little in walker but limited as we don't have much walking room!</li>
<li>Still loves those books, interacts more by touching and feeling. </li>
<li>Ticklish, love that tickle giggle. </li>
<li>Working on waving hi and bye. She has done it once.</li>
<li>Did gesture for "milk" a couple times while eating solids but I couldn't get her to do it again.</li>
</ul>
<li>Milestones</li>
<ul>
<li>Crawling was the biggest one this month! Laying to sitting has been a big change with how active she is (esp in her crib). Her biggest interest is pulling up on things and standing. She loves to do that. She is babbling so much more now and saying new things. Eating the puffs has been a milestone in eating because it is first time she has had to gum/chew something. She loves the puffs! And I do too because it buys me some time in entertaining her especially when we are out and about.</li>
</ul>

<br />
<ul>
<li>Growth & Development<ul>
<li>Size 3 diapers snug; size 4 a little big</li>
<li>Clothes 6-12 mo or 9 mo fits; some 12 months fits if run small. I am going to create a list of stores and brands and how they fit one day to keep track! </li>
<li>Sleeps on her belly all the time! It used to make me nervous, but since she can roll so easily it does not bother me.</li>
<li>Does not crawl yet. She pushes off her hands sometimes, almost crawling backwards. She rolls all over floor and has become quite squirmy when you hold her! Especially if she is reaching for something.</li>
<li>Sits well unsupported. Just have to watch her because she will lean forward to her hands sometimes and land hard. She leaned forward once like this as I was not watching and bruised her cheek on the coffee table. Momma felt really guilty. :(</li>
<li>Laughs laughs laughs!</li>
<li>Continues to babble. Still says "ga ga" and "ya ya" the most.</li>
<li>Stands while holding on to something (ie laundry basket, coffee table). She loves it! Looks at me and smiles so big like she is proud of herself. </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Schedule</li>
<ul>
<li>No strict schedule during the day other than she gets bath and bedtime at same time (7-730 bath, bedtime 730-8) and she usually does not nap after 430. She wakes anytime between 630 am to 730am. She continues to be on an eat, wake, sleep cycle. Her naps are between 30 min and 2 hours. </li>
</ul>
<li>Few Firsts/Favorites/More about this stage</li>
<ul>
<li>Eats solids twice a day; has had zuchinni, avocado, sweet potato, peas, and banana, apple, squash, pear, and peaches. She eats her solids well now. It used to be a challenge but she has gotten the hang of it.</li>
<li>Still not sure about the sippy cup. </li>
<li>Favorite toys: books, sophie, spider (bug set), and milk carton (grocery bag set). If you give her a non toy however she will love! She has her own tooth brush to play with in the bathroom. And she likes to play with some of my make up, like lip gloss. She wants so badly to get her hands on the tv remote, phones, keys.</li>
<li>Loves her pacifier. Doesn't necessarily <i>need</i> it but I can tell there are some times of the day that she would like to play while having it in her mouth. Or before naps and bedtime, it helps her go to sleep more easily. </li>
<li>We haven't been rocking before naps and bedtime as much. It is almost like it keeps her awake because she is wanting to play. If we just lay her in her crib she will go to sleep on her own. She is such an angel baby!</li>
<li>She has started to reach for people. She will hold her arms up to be held or sometimes out if she prefers me or Forrest to hold her (rare). </li>
<li>We have been doing sign language a little to her. Mostly just teaching her sign for eating and milk. She has never really gotten it but for the first time she looked at me doing sign for milk and it looked like it registered that I was trying to get her to do it. She moved her fingers a little but hasn't quite gotten the hang of it.</li>
<li>First virus. What seemed like a stomach virus (fever, diarrhea, loss of appetite) ended up being Roseola I believe. She had those three things and then a rash that showed up the last couple of days of her being sick. It made me so sad, broke my heart!</li>
<li>First bruise. I blame myself. I shouldn't have walked away!</li>
<li>First trip to pumpkin patch! She was too cute! Sat there so content so I could get a few pictures.</li>
</ul>
<li>Milestones</li>
<ul>
<li>More mobile. There is a drastic difference between now and one month ago. She squirms, throws her head back, crunches her stomach to try and sit up, rolls around, although not graceful, goes from sitting to belly/hands. She is definitely working hard now to get places and to try and show me where she wants to be!</li>
</ul>
</ul>

Now, so quickly another month has flown by and I feel like she has developed so much. She is really becoming "Hadison" and having a personality of her own! I am loving how much we can interact with her, but I am also seeing that she is going to soon learn the word "no." I am wondering how good I will be at saying that word to her, but what kind of parent would I be if I didn't do it! She is spoiled but I cannot make her rotten. ;)<br />
<br />
Who can resist this angel?<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li>Growth & Development<ul>
<li>Size 3 diapers snug; size 4 a little big</li>
<li>Grown out of most 3-6 month clothes; most 6-12 mo or 9 mo fits</li>
<li>Rolls from front to back and back to front easily; I have woken up a few times to find her on her belly during which she will cry if she is up against the crib and cannot roll back over.</li>
<li>Not interested in crawling however she will lean forward and reach for things if I place in front of her </li>
<li>Reaches for EVERYTHING; wants it esp if I/we have it. She is not understanding why she cannot have my phone or the remote control for tv. I have seen her get frustrated once and I think it was because I put a cooking utensil away that she had grabbed and was interested in. </li>
<li>Sits unsupported. Occasionally will fall if she is being lazy or turning around to look at something (or me) so I try and keep cushions around her while she plays.</li>
<li>Laughs when you tickle her neck, chest, or belly or during other various activities. </li>
<li>Everyday has a screaming (excited) part of the day where once she has started, she doesn't stop. Happens at grocery store, restaurants, etc and I am never really sure what to do. </li>
<li>Babbling; says "ga ga" the most; also has said "da da" and "ya ya" </li>
<li>When she wakes up she just lays there and content and talks to herself. It is one of my favorite things! She rarely cries when waking up from sleeping. If she does it usually means she is just going back to sleep so I do not bother her.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Schedule</li>
<ul>
<li>First time I can say she is not really on a strict schedule other than she gets bath and bedtime at same time (7-730 bath, bedtime 730-8) and she usually does not nap after 430. Her schedule started changing when she started waking up earlier than normal. She wakes anytime between 630 am to 730am. She continues to be on an eat, wake, sleep cycle. Her naps are between 30 min and 3 hours. </li>
</ul>
<li>Few Firsts/Favorites/More about this stage</li>
<ul>
<li>Started sleeping in crib right after she turned 6 months. Day one was actually okay but she had a hard time going down a couple naps afterwards. She slept through the night no problem on first night. Overall, I would says transition was pretty easy.</li>
<li>New babbling "words"</li>
<li>Seeing some teething symptoms </li>
<li>Eats solids now twice a day; has had zuchinni, avocado, sweet potato, peas, and banana. I made it myself and it is super easy and cheap. Her favorite is avocado and she doesn't mind the peas surprisingly. I was surprised she did not go crazy over the banana as that was her first fruit to try.</li>
<li>Introduced sippy cup but I can tell it is definitely too early for her to understand that she is supposed to drink from it. </li>
<li>If not her favorite, one of her favorite things is her book (there are two really, that are same type of book just different story) I know them by heart, we have read them so much. I love that she loves to be read to. She sits there so patiently as though she is listening and understanding.</li>
</ul>
<li>Milestones</li>
<ul>
<li>Crib transition and eating solids were biggest changes this month</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Growth & Development<ul>
<li>Just bought our first box of size 3 diapers! </li>
<li>0-3 mo clothes really tight; 3-6 mo starting to fit</li>
<li>Can lift chest when on belly but only rests on elbows for a few seconds. Still dislikes tummy time.</li>
<li>Reaches and grabs for things then brings it to her mouth.</li>
<li>Laughing :D We were twirling and looking in the mirror the other day and she was giggling so hard. I teared up because I had never heard her laugh so much! </li>
<li>She likes to make high pitch little screams too when she is excited.</li>
<li>Cooing a lot more now; we have conversations. She also has discovered she can gurgle.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Schedule<ul>
<li>Sleeps from 8:30pm to around 7-7:30am (in rock n play). I am dreading the transition to crib.</li>
<li>Loves her play mat first thing in the morning after breakfast; she is so active on it now.</li>
<li>Longest nap is about 2 hours, usually in morning (8-8:30 am to 10-10:30 am).</li>
<li>Still eating every 3 hours - her schedule is completely opposite now! Since she has been waking around 730am she is eating then, again at 1030, and so on. These times used to be her going down for nap times. </li>
<li>Bath time at 7pm</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Few Firsts/Favorites/More about this stage</li>
<ul>
<li>First weekend away from Mommy and Daddy (stayed at Lala and Pop Pops during our anniversary trip)</li>
<li>Lots of drooling! </li>
<li>Putting hands and objects (toys and blankets) in mouth</li>
<li>Puts hands on bottle when eating</li>
<li>Loves her little lovie/snuggling with it during naps and at night</li>
<li>She loves to go outside, especially in the evening. Daddy usually takes her for a golf cart ride which makes her happy.</li>
<li>Loves/smiles when looking in mirror while being held; loves being held period!</li>
<li>Kicks and plays a lot more in bath.. splashing water outside her little tub </li>
<li>Twirling with me, standing on feet while holding her up, swinging in air, anything that involves playing. She is so easy to entertain!</li>
</ul>
<li>Milestones</li>
<ul>
<li>Hmm well I would say the reaching for things and putting them to mouth is the biggest thing since that involves quite a bit of coordination. Baby center says that has a lot to do with her development of depth perception. Way to go H! </li>
<li>I was hoping to be able to put lifting chest here but she has not quite mastered that. </li>
</ul>

We spent the weekend in Austin to celebrate. Forrest's parents watched Hadie while we missed her. But it was good for us to have a weekend to ourselves and we were so grateful that his parents offered to watch her. We stayed at a resort in Lakeway on Lake Travis. We enjoyed the lake and resort as well as the down town Austin city atmosphere. It was a great getaway but we were happy to come home to our sweet girl! <div>

All is well with our little family. Hadison is bringing us so much joy as I know other parents can relate. She is growing up and really developing her own little personality. I love that she can engage with us so much more now. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am so grateful that she is just a happy baby. She just doesn't seem to get bothered too easily. Even the other night as our electricity was out for a dreadful four hours <i>(yes I am that boring that I am going to talk about our electricity going out!)</i> I was trying to put her down with no AC and in the nude, no fan, no noise maker, no warm bottle to give her after nursing, no blanket to wrap her in (since it was so hot), and I discovered how much more this momma was easily bothered than she. She went to bed around 945 after I put her in her room and laid next to her around 915, taking only a little longer to go down. I was thinking great, now how am I going to sleep in this sauna! Then she slept just fine that way. I woke up when it came back on, just to cover her up and all. I was so impressed the next morning that she had so easily adjusted to different circumstances. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Anyways she is my little monkey on my back during the days, allowing me to drag her all over the house. Family time in the evenings is nice and then once she is asleep, Forrest and I get to talk/hang out. We have settled into a nice little routine I guess you could say.</div>

Forrest makes me a birthday cake every year. It is my favorite cake. He was inspired by his dad who has made the same cake for his mom's birthday every year for the last 35 years. Then the night before my birthday we went out to a nice dinner with friends.<br />

Something else new for us is that I have gone back to work but am working part-time now. This means I schedule myself one and a half shifts a week. Working at night allows for us to not have to use childcare which is great and it allows for me to be at home with Hadie during the days. I am glad and feel fortunate that I do not have to give that time up with her. It really is the ideal schedule for us for now which I am really grateful for.<br />
<br />
Since I have been back, being there less, I feel I appreciate it so much more. It is a great thing to love your job, especially as a nurse because it just makes you that much better. I want my patients to have the best experience possible in the hospital so I know my attitude is important. I also feel more compassion for my patients now that I have been through what they have been through and am a mom too. I have realized there is an instant bond you develop with other moms, whether in the hospital or anywhere. Like people you may not have connected with before, now you can relate with them and share stories. <br />
Anyways, Hadie is a happy girl! <br />

And we love her so much. Here are some pictures over the last 3 months that were taken on mine or Forrest’s phones. We can’t get enough!<br />

<br />
I have been so lucky to have spent these last almost 3 treasured months with my sweet Hadie. This time in my life I will cherish forever because we have bonded so greatly, and I have learned so much about being a Mommy. To see her little face everyday brings me joy only a mother would understand and to watch her grow makes me proud beyond words. I hope that when she is with me she feels as safe as can be. I hope she feels like she is the center of my world because she is. She must know just how much I love her and that I would do anything for her.<br />
<br />
I cannot talk about motherhood without mentioning my other half. It brings a smile to my face to see the love Forrest has for Hadison and to know he is the only one who loves her like I do. It makes me love him more and feel even more connected to him. I am grateful to have a husband who <strike>is </strike> has become a team player in this whole parenthood journey. He has been a natural with Hadie from day one, but we have certainly had to adjust to being a family of three. <i>I have never used the words, "sacrifices, freedom, and inconvenient," so much as I have in the last 3 months!</i> I know we have a long way to go but I am proud at how far we have come.<br />
<br />
Anyways, speaking of loving my husband and baby girl. I will remember forever the card Forrest gave me on behalf of Hadison for my first Mother's Day this year. It is stamped with Hadison's footprint <i>which explains the Hobby Lobby plastic bag I came across.....I didn't know Forrest even knew a place like Hobby Lobby existed! </i>It says the words every new mom dreams of hearing. All I can say is, my heart is full.<br />

A Mother's Day blog would not be a good blog without mentioning my wonderful Momma and Mother in law. I was not able to see my Momma yesterday but that is okay because we are going to get to hang out in about a week when Sister comes home, and we will all be together then. Momma will have a full house which she will love. Here is a link to her book from me and Sister. She was long overdue for a good photo book and she got it just in time. :)<br />

<br />
I did get to share the special holiday with my special mother in law, Cheri. I am grateful to be so close with her and am looking forward to the summer when we hopefully will get to have our girl days like we did last year. And for when she will be able to see her other baby, Amberly. I know she was missing her yesterday!<br />

She did really well but I wasn't too surprised considering La La and Pop Pop held her the whole time! She also got lots of love from the church congregation. Everyone was just all smiles as they came over to look at her. <div><br />
</div><div>We came home to enjoy a nice lunch prepared by Big Forrest on the grill and piece of chocolate cake made by Cheri. Afterwards we enjoyed the afternoon outside, sitting on the porch mostly. It was so peaceful and relaxing. I couldn't help but think of next year when Hadison will be one year old and old enough to hide eggs for. I can't wait to see her face light up then.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Although no egg hunt this year, Hadie still received a surprise Easter basket from the Easter Bunny. Glad La La got her a surprise because Mommy didn't have anything! </div><div><br />

<br />
Hadison turned one month old today! I cannot believe how quickly this past month has gone.The days go by fast, surprisingly, just being at home with her planning my days around her schedule of course.<br />
<br />
Right now she is supposed to be on a 3 hour eating schedule but she is a 3.5 hour baby I have learned. She gets breast fed pretty much every feeding except the 6am one, Forrest feeds her breast milk by bottle before he goes to work so I can sleep. She sleeps in between feedings well minus her 9pm feeding which is usually the hardest for her. I think it is because Daddy comes home from work and holds her after her 6pm feeding in which she gets extra good sleep so she is wide awake later and upset someone isn't holding her!<br />
<br />
Her activities include lying (hopefully sleeping!) in her swing especially at night while we try and sleep and sometimes during the day if I am doing things around the house. As time has gone by, I have been able to sit her down a little more although I still love to cuddle her. I do it for her own good because I worry she won't be able to sleep unless someone holds her! She also enjoys the rock n play from time to time as long as you rock her. Lately I have been bringing the rock n play outside when the weather is nice and rock her in the shade. She also "plays" on her play mat about twice a day which includes staring up at the blinking lights. She loves to look at the lights.<br />
<br />
Other things about this stage. She really likes looking at the windows and pretty much anything bright. She likes getting her baths and only cries sometimes when you take her out because she is cold. She likes laying with her arms up by her face or over her head - that is usually a good sign she is the most comfortable she could possibly be. She does not take a pacifier but will suck on her fingers every now and then. She likes when you play with her legs especially if she might have a belly ache. Her favorite thing is to be held of course. It seems she is content no matter what as long as someone holds her. She has grown out of most her premie clothes and is in between sizes right now. Some newborn is just a tad too big so the best clothes for her right now are the Gap size "up to 7lbs." She is also growing out of her premie diapers and will soon be wearing newborn. She sometimes makes little cooing noises that sound kind of like a high pitched "sigh" as she sleeps. She had her first ride in the golf cart. Daddy drove very slow and avoided big bumps. She slept the whole time. She also had her first professional photo shoot which I have yet to see only a few pictures. As soon as I get them I will post!<br />
<br />
That is all I can think of for now although I am sure there is more. We take a lot of pics on our phones so I thought I would post them all here. They pretty much sum up our lives right now!<br />

</div><div>Since bringing Hadison home from the hospital, she has done really well. She had her first doctor appointment two days after being discharged. She weighed 4#5oz which was 2 oz over her birth weight. This was great news considering the doctors said it could take up to two weeks for babies to get back to their birth weight (she was 4#1oz at discharge) and it was a good sign that eating feeding/eating was going well. She was 17.5 inches long which meant she grew 1.5 inches in length since birth. The rest of her examination went well and everything was normal according to her doctor. They stuck her heel for her newborn screening tests and she didn't even flinch. She had just eaten and was out! We discussed vaccinations which she will get starting at her 2 month appointment. I am not looking forward to this! </div><div><br />

</div><div><div>We have had some friends and family come out to visit us. My good friend Matt was the first to visit. He called himself my "manny" while he was here. Hadie enjoyed sleeping in his arms as he rocked her in the glider. Then Bless came the following weekend and she was so kind to bring us donuts!! We also enjoyed a nice visit from Nena and Gramps that weekend on a Sunday afternoon. Then that following week my friend Ashley came (I forgot to get a picture) and she brought me some chocolate rasienettes - my absolute favorite! </div><div><br />

It wasn't entirely a typical morning for me, as I had had a terrible nights sleep. Being pregnant meant I was a little accustomed to not getting uninterrupted sleep at night, but this was probably the worst. I had a lot of cramping during the night which more so bothered me than concerned me. I thought I was probably just dehydrated. So around 5am I got out of bed to make myself a glass of water then laid back down until Forrest woke up a couple hours later. I got up with him, ate breakfast, then planned for a long morning of catching up on sleep on the couch.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;">I slept all morning, eventually waking up around 1pm to realize how late it was. I hadn't showered, changed out of pjs, or honestly even brushed my teeth. I wasn't really hungry but thought I better eat since I hadn't had lunch. I popped some leftovers in the microwave and while cooking I felt something fluid -like, come out down there, if you know what I mean <i>(I don't think any guys read my blog besides Forrest but sorry in advance if this grosses anyone out. It takes a lot to gross me out and I am trying to be as "clean" as possible!)</i>. I went straight to the bathroom as it was continuing to come out, pulled down my pants over the toilet to see that it was bright red blood. It didn't stop. It wasn't even like a period, it was like active bleeding. I stuffed toilet paper, panicking, as if I could apply pressure like a wound and make it stop but it just kept coming. I saturated two wads of toilet paper in seconds. I can't even tell you what I was thinking at this point. All I knew was this is bad, and I am alone and 40 minutes at least away from the hospital. I started to worry that I was maybe abrupting <i>(placenta separates from uterine wall). </i>I called Forrest right away, told him to come get me, then grabbed my keys as I thought nevermind I am crazy to think I can wait that long. I told him I was leaving for hospital now and to meet me there. He said he would meet me halfway and that he was leaving work as we speak.</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;">It was pouring down rain. I had windshield wipers on high and still had hard time seeing at some points. I drove about 90 miles an hour and I think without a seatbelt, stupid I know. I was panicking and my mind was racing. Before the bleeding occurred, it had crossed my mind that morning that I hadn't felt Hadie move since after dinner the night before. Usually I feel her move when I lay back down after getting up to use bathroom around 4-5am every morning. So as I was driving I was just waiting to feel her move and my mind even played tricks on me wondering, "Was that a movement? Was that a kick?" Even if I may have convinced myself I was feeling subtle movements, I knew I had not felt obvious movements in several hours which really concerned me.</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;">I called the L&D unit at the hospital and asked for the charge nurse which was Ruth, a day nurse and friend of mine, like a mom to some of us younger ones. I told her what was going on and that I was about 40 minutes away. I told her to tell me that everything was going to be okay even though I knew she couldn't say with certainty. She gave me some assurance, saying "Megan it is going to be okay. We will be ready for you when you get here. Please be careful driving." While not on the phone, all I did was pray. 15 or so minutes down the road, I met Forrest in Navasota at a McDonalds, got in his truck, and from there he flew like a mad man down the highway and all the way to the hospital. On the way to get me, he had called Stacie (L&D nurse friend of mine). She happened to be working that day so she said she would come down to ER to get me as soon as we arrived. I text my sister and told her to pray. I was so short with her. I knew she was worried, but I just wanted her to tell family to pray everything was okay.</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;">We got to the hospital, Stacie met us in the ER, and we went straight up to L&D. Once we got up to the unit, we came off of elevator and saw everyone that could possibly be needed for a stat c-section was there and ready in case that was the direction we would soon be going. After going into our L&D room, I quickly changed into a gown as I showed Stacie and Ruth the bleeding. It had slowed by that point and was more like a period. I honestly didn't know as we were driving what was going on down there and was too afraid to look so seeing that it had drastically slowed felt good. Immediately after changing, monitors were placed and we waited to hear a heart beat. I can't explain the feeling of relief when I heard that little beat pick up although I am sure moms can imagine and probably relate. Even moms who haven't gone through this know what a relief it is to know your baby is okay anytime you have had concerns. Although I was filled with so much gratitude and relief, I was still anxious and worried as to what was going to happen. I really thought we might be heading for a c-section, but with the bleeding getting better, I just wasn't sure.</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;">The monitor showed that I was contracting every 1-2 minutes, little did I know. I think I was so worried about Hadison, I didn't even notice the pain because after I heard her heart beat, I noticed the "cramping" was much worse. I was shaking uncontrollably and according to Stacie my demeanor was just really quiet. She kept asking me "are you okay? I am worried you are about to seize on me." I thought, what a seizure?! I looked over to see what my blood pressure was and couldn't see the monitor. I asked Stacie, "are my blood pressures high?" I didn't realize it but they had been taking my blood pressure often and they were reading 160s-180-s over 90s-100s. I realized at that point everyone was suspecting sudden onset of pre eclampsia <i>(precursor to eclampsia which means mom has a seizure. Pre eclampsia can also lead to placenta abruption.) </i></div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;">Stacie went ahead and checked my cervix, and I was 1cm and 75% effaced.. Dr. Bertsch arrived shortly after, came in to talk to us and discuss plan of care at that point. Basically said she didn't know for sure what was going on <i>(pre eclampsia? abruption? pre term labor? all of the above?) </i>but that she would check me in hour to determine if I was in fact in labor <i>(determined by making cervical change)</i>. If I was she was not going to stop me, being that I was 34 weeks and bleeding. She said the bleeding concerned her and that if baby looked bad at any minute on the monitors we would go back for c-section. Either way, she said, we were not leaving hospital without having a baby. Forrest and I couldn't believe it. I felt so unprepared but glad that at least everything at the moment was okay and we were in good hands if things at any point were not okay. Forrest didn't even know where to begin with questions especially considering all the medical jargon being used around him. After talking with Dr. Bertsch, I could tell he felt much better and that he had gained the trust for her that I had already had for her.</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;">One hour later, Dr. Bertsch determined me to be in labor as I was now 2cm and 90% effaced. At that point, she broke my water, hoping to get things going. I started to hurt pretty quickly, still contracting every 1-2 minutes but more intensely. I was more than ready for that epidural which after about 3-4 attempts/sticks in the back, the anesthesiologist had me nice and numb. Not sure why he was having such a hard time. He just said it was all very "tight" back there. Stacie checked me about 2 hours later and I was 5 cm, 100% effaced. It was good news that I was progressing so well and that Hadison the entire time looked great on the monitors. We were all much more relaxed at that point. Family came to visit then left to grab dinner. Stacie got me a toothbrush and helped doll me up a little, haha. </div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;">It was around 8pm, she was just sitting on the edge of my bed talking with me, when she said "I feel like I need to check you right now" <i>(around one hour after last check which was one hour sooner than she was supposed to check me)</i>. You have just progressed so quickly." So she did and said, "Whoa, don't push, her head is right there! I am going to call Dr. Bertsch." We called and text family to fill them in. Forrest's parents and grandparents had just sat down to eat. Bless, my good friend, was getting updates from my sister and offered to bring me her camera, since remember...I had nothing. I had my purse and keys, and the walmart flip flops I threw on before leaving house! That was it. So as they are putting my legs in stirrups, I am texting Bless my status and luckily she had just pulled up to ER with her camera. If it was not for her, we would not have any pictures of Hadison's birth!</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;">Anyways, I pushed for about 30-40 minutes, having a hard time telling if I was in fact pushing. We told jokes and laughed in between contractions which painted a picture of labor and delivery totally opposite of what Forrest had imagined. There were about 10 people in the room - all health care professionals and Forrest <i>(since she was expected to be 34 weeks). </i>Her delivery was very smooth, slow, and easy. She was born at 9:08pm and looked perfect. She didn't require any help breathing, not even supplemental O2 for color. They took her to NICU for further observation after letting me and Forrest have a moment with her. It was of course such a happy, indescribable moment to hold and look at her. And very surreal knowing that she was here, early, but after 8 months of growing in the belly. This was who was in there, who we've been talking about, planning for, named, and most of all, who because of the two of us, has been created and is alive. She was just something so big in this little, tiny body.</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969);"><span style="color: #222222;">After Hadison's arrival and relatively quick departure to the NICU. We awaited the delivery of the placenta, which is usually uneventful but in this case was going to be interesting because Dr. Bertsch could possibly look at it and determine if I was in fact abrupting. Once it delivered, she inspected it, then pointed out where it looked as though I had had a 10% abruption. So for any of you interested in the medical side of this, the chain of events were: sudden onset of pre eclampsia --> placenta abruption --> pre-term labor. Something too we see in hospital, and in my case, is that mom labors quickly when something is not right in her body (i.e. abruption, pre eclampsia). It is like her way of going into survival mode and doing what is best for both her and baby. That is why I labored like a house on fire!</span></div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;">Anyways, I stayed in post partum for 3 days. Recovery went well minus the continued high blood pressures <i>(expected)</i> in which I was given medication on a few occasions. I was on my feet in no time it seemed and was back and forth to the NICU the next day with visitors. Pediatricians informed us that Hadison was expected to stay in the NICU for 10 days to 3 weeks. They would be able to have a better idea as they evaluate her on a daily basis. Since she would be at the hospital longer than me obviously and being that we live so far away, Forrest looked into places we could stay in town. This would enable me to make it to her feedings which were every 3 hours. </div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;">He came across a bed and breakfast online located about a mile from hospital called Abigaile's Treehouse.When he called to see about making reservations, he had to fill them in a little on our situation because he was unable to tell them how long we would be staying. The lady called back a few minutes later and left a message on Forrest's voicemail. We missed her call because we were visiting Hadison after she had just been transferred from regular nursery back to NICU for temperature regulation problems and spike in bilirubin levels. Her phone call couldn't have come at a more perfect time which you will understand why in a minute. Forrest stepped out to listen to her message and when he came back into the NICU, there were tears in his eyes. He choked on his words as he told me that in her message she said that she had spoken with her husband and that the Lord had placed it on their hearts to let us stay as long as we needed and not to worry about room rates at this time. She also said that she and her church family would like to provide us with home cooked meals everyday and that they have already begun praying for our little family. We were both in tears as we looked at each other and looked at Hadison in her little isolette. It was a moment I will truly never forget. It might be the most memorable and cherished memory for me from our hospital experience because in that moment we were reminded of God's hand in our lives, of all of our blessings including the biggest one of all, our new baby girl, and of all the people we have been surrounded by who love and care for us not just during this time in our lives, but in our lives in general. It was like how could we be so lucky and so deserving to have the lives that we have. </div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;">At 4 lbs 1 oz, our little Hadison was discharged after 7 days and we were able to bring our baby girl home. </div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;">Thank you family and friends who were there for us, even just thinking about us on that day. We feel truly blessed to have you in our lives and are humbled by all of the visits, dinners, gifts, phone calls, texts, facebook messages, but most of all prayers. We are also thankful for the supportive and loving staff at St.Joseph hospital and the very warm and good-hearted church families of Zion Church of Kurten and of Brenham Church of Christ. </div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222;"><br />

Danny and Forrest have been friends since childhood and were roommates in college. As a couple, they have been good friends of ours since college, meeting each other around the same time Forrest and I met. <div><br />
</div><div>Over 5 years ago, they took our engagement photos which was when Ashley was barely getting into photography. Ashley just has a knack for taking great pictures and Danny has great ideas for getting great shots. She started a blog called <a href="http://ashley-dashphotography.blogspot.com/">Dash Photography</a> in which she takes pictures and blogs for a hobby and even has begun to do some sessions on the side, while working full time as an accountant! She is a talented woman and one of the sweetest people I have ever known. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Anyways, they came out to take some pictures for us and hanging out with them was like old times. We thought the weather was going to slow us down but it ended up being perfect. Ashley even captured a beautiful rainbow in the back of some of our pictures. Overall it was a fun day and great photo shoot. Thank you Danny and Ashley for doing this for us and for being a part of such a special time in mine and Forrest's lives. These pictures will be cherished for forever and I cannot wait to hang a big one in our house! :) We love you guys. </div><div><br />

This technically was his first marathon although he completed a 26.2 mile run during the Ironman. His goal was to finish in less than 4 hours which he did. His finish time was <b>3:53:08</b>.<br />
<br />
He worked hard for this race as he does with all of the events he signs up for. I am so proud of how much of himself he gives towards training and like I have said in regards to other things he has completed, I enjoy so much this aspect of his life and just being a part of it. I wouldn’t miss any of his races for anything. <br />
<br />
He hasn’t signed up for any events in the near future although I know he will continue to do some half marathons and triathlons here and there. He told me he knows his priorities are about to change once the baby is born, which makes me proud. I think after a few months of being a new parent, we will be able to better time manage and he will work in some type of training schedule for something. I will always support his decision to devote time to these types of things as I know it makes him happy to accomplish goals he has made. <br />
<br />
Here are some pictures from the weekend of the race! We stayed at the Inn at the Ballpark. I was in the best spot possible to get a good finish line view and still pictures were hard to get. After the race we went to Papasitos where Forrest enjoyed a nice big margarita...while I sat and salivated over it.<br />

Which means I am officially entering the third and final trimester! I can't believe how quickly things have gone...seems like it was just the other day I was blogging about us finding out we were pregnant. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I had a follow up appointment with my doctor yesterday. I am measuring 28 weeks and have gained a total of 16 lbs so far. Her heartbeat sounded good on the doppler. My glucose tolerance test results were normal. I have no signs or symptoms of pre-eclampsia (blood pressure normal, no protein in urine, etc.). So overall, looks like we are continuing to have a happy and healthy pregnancy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I feel her move all the time and now we can actually see her move. It is kind of crazy to see little bumps in my belly, but I like it. In an email I read from the baby center website, it says she is able to blink now and has eye lashes too. The website says she is about 2 and 1/4 lbs. I just love the thought of her growing and developing and hope I have done all that I can to give her the best home.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We are making progress in accumulating baby gear. We have purchased a white, wooden high chair that I found on Craigslist. We ordered the glider for the nursery and after seeing the fabric swatch, I think it is going to match her room perfectly. I have bought a couple clothes for her here and there (of course), mostly 0-6 month things because that is what she needs most. I ordered her a vintage baby blanket/quilt off Etsy that hasn't come in yet. My Sister has a bassinet and rocker that we can use. We will pick up furniture this month depending on when the armoire will come in which should hopefully be at the end of Jan. I am excited about the baby shower this month (Jan. 22nd) and also about maternity pictures which my friend Ashley is going to do for us the first weekend in Feb. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyways, that is an update on us. Counting down, we have any where form 9-12 weeks to go! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I love how every year we can expect the same traditions but yet things are always changing. This year a big change, a sad one, was that we did not have the Halls there since they are all in London. We missed them and especially their little ones running around with smiles on their faces. But we did have a new little addition, Trenton (Forrest's cousin) and Whitney's little baby girl who was just 10 days old. Zoey Elise. She was precious and everyone couldn't keep their hands off her. Trenton was not there as he is in the Marines and did not make it home until a few days later. We missed those not there but enjoyed adding to the family and seeing a couple new faces.<br />
<br />
One thing that stays the same is that we eat good food. Everyone brings their usual, their signature dishes. <i>Dede's is usually my favorite side dish - sweet potato casserole. And this year, my favorite dessert was actually a new item on the menu - Nenas peanut butter cheesecake. It was absolutely delicious. </i>As we enjoyed Christmas dinner, we joked about how the kiddie and adult tables change. <i>Usually Forrest is the one to bring it up since he always gets stuck at the kiddie table.</i> Although we are joking, I can see how over the years, kids get older and move their way up in the kitchen/dining area. And I have only been around the last 7, so I cannot imagine how it seems to them. Forrest says he somehow always gets stuck at the kiddie table. I told him maybe after we have a baby, we will get promoted. Or maybe that means since we have a baby, we are back to the kiddie. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens next year. <i>If I remember correctly, the high chair stays put next to the adult table. :)</i><br />
<br />
After the kids open gifts, the adults always play white elephant as our gift exchange. However this year we had two new members join the adults' game, Ricky and Lane, since they are out of high school. The game was fun as always and it is especially entertaining to watch the boys steal and try to manipulate the game. They get a little more aggressive than the girls. Half the time the girls end up with what they brought which is what happened to me this year. No complaints though on that... I always would like to have what I brought and I think everyone else kind of feels the same. Hot items this year included Cheri's leopard lounge chair for the girls' team and the safe for the boys team.<br />
<br />
Then the night ends with a few games of pool in the garage, or one too many, and some game playing inside. We played a new card game this year - Canasta, which was a first for me. It was fun especially considering me and my partner, Kim, were the champions. It was not even a close call. :)<br />
<br />
The next morning we had breakfast -Nenas yummy breakfast casserole and bisquits. Then we stuck around until lunch to enjoy some left overs before going home. It was yet another fun and memorable weekend for us, like it is every year. Thank you Nena and Gramps for opening up your warm home for us to celebrate the holidays in.<br />

Wish I had pictures of everyone. I have been bad about not getting my camera out lately. Next year, I am going to make it a point to get one big family picture.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16146572274957852028noreply@blogger.com0
