Tsula Update

So I haven't posted in awhile because I have been VERY busy. We have been reunited with my husband and are moving into a new house. Tsula has made some incredible process at 8 months she has been pulling herself up and stand against chairs and tables for a month.She started eating cookies a little after starting solids at 6 months. she's been a crawling machine and sitting be herself since 4 months and babbling her mama's and dada's since 3 months. She started lifting her head early at only 3 weeks; she was holding it up for 10 minutes at this time too! Overall Tsula is progressing quickly and is a happy healthy baby. Currently she has 2 teeth pushing through at the bottom. Only thing that helps her teething is a cool damp washcloth she has 2for teething; one with knots and one without. She's also been eating harder foods to help relieve the itching like apples and crackers. She is also in the hair pulling and everything goes into the mouth stages. She loves going to the park and swinging on the baby swing. I myself have found a teacher whose going to teach me to sew and to can food. I've also made a lot of progress in my crocheting skills. I have made Tsula 2 dresses with matching hats, 4 pairs of shoes, a stuff elephant and a stuffed bunny. I am planning on making myself a shawl soon too. My day consists of me waking up early to feed Tsula, then she falls back asleep cuddling with daddy  while I go clean up the living room and make breakfast.Then if my husband isn't going into work we go out and do some dog training or other out of the house chores. If he does go into work I clean the rest of the house crochet or watch TV while I tend to Tsula who is always either napping, playing on the floor with her toybox (not her toys the box for them) standing in her bouncer eating or playing with the dogs. Once daddy is home from work she plays with him for a little bit before going off to bed. She is a lucky baby she has a 9:30 bedtime that's consistent. All in all I'm am a very fortunate woman to have such and awesome husband and unbelievably easy first baby girl. More to come as I learn new things with Tsula.

Tsula came a day early!

December 15 10pm i am suddenly attacjed bu contractions 5 five minutes apart I go to the hospital at the hospital they tell me I'm still probably early labor so they send me home saying it could be a couple days I didn't feel right I should've trusted instincts because as soon as I got home my water broke and I have to go back but I don't live close to the hospital so it's now 230 by the time I get back to the hospital. I dont want pain medication so i spend time in a hot shower. The water feels so good I don't want to leave the shower but five hours go by and I decided about time I left the contractions hurt so bad I asked for the gas but doesn't work very well and the doctor comes and says of 8 cm dilated and could still be another hour maybe two finally a give in and said I don't want an epidural but I'll have the IV pain medicine. The doctor and the nurse walk out and I shout you liar and the nurse comes running back and said she's going to check to see if i dilated more and yells "oh shit!" and runs to get the doctor the baby was crowning. 2 contractions later at 7:45 i had my 6lb 9oz baby girl!

Tmi pregnancy side effects no one talks about

Ok everyone tells you about the morning sickness, the heartburn, the constipation and frequent peeing. But they don't tell you about how it suddenly feels weird to pee and needin to remember to pee in the third trimester. Now that the baby is getting close to delivery there is a constant sudtly pressure on my vaginal area. Also because of poor circulation at night when i wake up my feet are always asleep makin the first steps of the morning tingly and frankly painful. I cant wait for it to be over but its worth it to have a little stranger that needs me at the end.

Week 33

So tomorrow I will be 33 weeks pregnant, only 3 more weeks until my baby is full term! I'm so excited! I've been thinking about maternity leave and decided to take it Dec 5th. That's 12 days before my due date so if the baby is a little early, I will be ready and done all my nesting haha. I've moved the baby's stuff around the room so many times I hope I'll have it done before the baby decides to pop out of me :P. Anyways, heartburn has been a pain but I'm glad I don't have any other annoying pregnancy symptoms. It's still weird when the baby moves.  But in a good way except when it hurts.

Baby's movements

So my baby is now increasingly active s/he is moving more when I'm still. Te kicks are fine but the squirming is so weird! I love it I do but sometimes it feels like there's and alien trying to get out not a baby haha. Just a few more days to go i can't wait! 

Being sick and pregnant!

As if being tired and in pain wasn't bad enough i'm now sick! This sucks a big one since there are so many medication i can't take. Ive thought about taking infant tylenol lol but of course no medication without a doctors ok. However i can drink a tea made of peppermint, lemon and ginger which has helped a little so far! I just wish i was allowed to drink more than 2 cups a day! Haha wish me luck! <3
