False Advertisment

I am little dissapointed in a website called Nicki's Diapers. They gave false advertising in my opinion and I feel as if I was taken advantage of. I bought a pocket diaper from them and above all their pocket diapers were the words "FREE SHIPPING and FREE MICRO FLEECE INSERT (except Happy Heiny's)"

I bought a Rumparooz pocket diaper and did not receive my free insert. I called and the lady said that my diaper came with a insert. I said.."Yeah, because I purchased it..it was a set". She informed me that pocket diapers that already come with an insert do not get the free micro fleece insert.

WOW..False advertising much

Stressful Doctors Appt.

I have had the doctors appt. from hell today. First, thanks to I-5 being backed up I missed my personal OB and got stuck with one that seemed to be way to bothered to answer any questions. As most of you knows Sophie was very small due to my bicornuate uterus..she weighed 5lbs13oz...not bad just small. Well the last couple appt.s my fundal height has been measuring big. 2 weeks ago I measured 3 weeks ahead and today I measured 5 weeks ahead. It freaked me out and asked her what that meant and she casually threw out that it could Polyhydraminos, our a big baby. Since my first was exceptionally small I figured it would be the Polyhydramino's. My blood sugars have been good as well so I doubt it is gestational diabetes. Anyways, I have my normal ultrasound scheduled on the 7th and apparently just get to wait it out until then. I tried to ask her a bunch of questions and she sort of half asses it and left me to Dr. Google. Polyhydramino's does not sound good. It basically means I have way too much amniotic fluid. This could be from the baby having something wrong with her or her kidneys not working properly. Im really pissed off that I get to just wait it out and find out later what is going on with my baby. I seriously feel sick and am pissed off that I can not just have a natural pregnancy like everyone else...

I will repeat...

Why can't pregnant women crave vegetables and whole grains? I have often wondered if I can really count a bowl of chef boyardee as a serving of vege's for my day.

My poor husband hasn't had a wholesome home cooked meal in weeks because I simply do not want to eat healthy. I know it is better for baby that I eat better, but when it coems down to it nothing else sounds good. My food groups are the following: Mexican Food, Pizza, Chocolate, and chips.

I try to make up for my horrible dinners by eating super healthy breakfasts' and lunches. oh and taking my prenatal...

but when little Violet comes out looking like a pizza or weighing 12+ lbs I will have nobody to blame but myself...

So maybe tomorrow I will force feed myself some broccoli...

National Pregnancy & Infant Loss Day

October 15th is pregnancy & infant loss remembrance day. Today we remember all the babies born sleeping, the ones we carried but never had the chance to meet, the precious babies we have held but didn't take home, or the one's that came home but never stayed long. Make this your status if you or someone you love has suffered the loss of a baby. Light a Candle @ 7pm to honor all lost babies.

Tomatoes?

So the other day we carved Sophie's first pumpkin, one where she was actually able to help. We brought out the pumpkin and Sophie started calling it a tomato. We laughed and said, "Its a pumpkin", but she refuses to call it anything but a tomato. So we carved Sophie's first "Tomato".
Oh, and she actually ate pumpkin raw which I thought was super gross but she seemed to enjoy at. lol

Things have started to dwindle down in the pregnancy area. My cervical length checks are coming back great and baby looks great, so I am starting to feel more comfortable. I think I will luck out again and have a term baby again. Though, in all honesty I won't start feeling better until I am 28 weeks because if Violet was to come early she would have a very high chance of surviving and being healthy. Violet is definitely small again like Sophie so I want to keep her in as long as I can. Jared and I went up to St. Pete's to have a tour of the hospital again, and the nurses made me feel so much better. They have an awesome area for babies that are very jaundicy and small. One dissapointing thing is that our favorite pediatrician doesnt have privliges at St.Petes so we will have to have a hospital pediatrician while there and apparently they get a bit over concerned about small babies. We had to stay a day extra with Sophie and I didn't mind it, but this time now that we have Sophie I don;t want to be away from her for to long. :( So Jared and I are just going to hope for the best and hope for a 6lb baby at least.!!

Sometimes I write about..

...absolutely nothing. Actually, a majority of the time I write about a bunch of random things, but I find that someday it will be nice to look back and reminisce about days back when. I am getting exceptionally excited about the upcoming holidays but I think I have already covered my obsession with this. Today and yesterday have been super lazy days and I am fine with that. It is nice to just curl up on the couch while it is raining and watch re-runs of Caillou all day with little Sophie. These are the days I will remember.

So I have been trying to decide on what to have Sophie be for Halloween this year, and I think I'm going to go homemade. Thinking  I will make her a Halloween tutu (orange and black) and make her into a cute kitty or maybe a puppy since we did that last year. Ideas..ideas...

Well I love ending on cute pictures so here you go:

Wasn't she such a frickin cute baby!

October


For most of you who know me, you know that I am a holiday nut. Once October hits I have already busted out the Christmas music. I find that having Sophie definitely makes the holidays way more fun. For this month, we plan to take Sophie again to the Lattins Cider Mill's "Apple Festival" again. They do this the last weekend of September through October and it is a lot of fun for the kids. They can pick out their own pumpkin, go on hay rides, ride ponies, and see all of the animals. For the parents..well...you can eat their delicious food. :) I really want to do some serious baking but I don't want to be baked out before Christmas. So I might look into some Halloween themed baking items. Sophie has really shown a huge interest in cooking. She will stand there for the whole time I am cooking just watching. We might have a little chef on our hands. Speaking of Sophie..I think I will end on a pretty stinking cute picture of her.
