I miss her

We are coming off a very long weekend. It was the Bills homeopener so of course we had out of town guest. Michele & Brendan came in from Milford and Pat came in from Providence. Michele watched Paige on Friday and she did great. Paige was super happy and even took a 2 1/2 hour nap for Michele in her crib. (what a good girl) Mil took Paige Saturday morning for her first swimming lession at the YMCA. She did really well, I will go to watch them next Saturday. Marilynn had her overnight Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday I started to miss her and today I just cant stand it. I cant wait to get out of here at 4:30 to go get her. My little Angel.......she is just an amazing kid. Its amazing how soon you forget what it took to make her, carry her, deliver her. But I would do it 10 times over if it meant getting the same beautiful result. I will have her alot this week on my own. Jonesey is working crazy hours at work and a few overnights. All to myself and I dont even care if she up all night..........:) Well maybe I do alittle because I do still have to go to work.

Here I am again

Wow I cant believe Paige is 7 months old this Saturday!!!! What a long road it has been for us. She just started sleeping through the night about 3 weeks ago. She has a cold currently which makes her cranky but for the most part she is the most amazing child I have ever seen (probably because she is my own:) She continues to amaze me every day with something new. Makes life so wonderful and gives it a purpose. She is everything and more I hoped she would be.

I am still dealing with major anxiety in regards to her, her health, well being, development etc..... Why cant I just let go and enjoy. Someone once told me not to wish away her milestones. Its so true. I am always saying "when she can crawl, walk, talk, ride a bike........I forget all the milestones she has already hit. Sitting up, saying babababa,mamamamama (once), giggling so much her sides hurt, eating solids like a big girl, sitting in her highchair, holding her own bottle. Ahhh where have these 7 months gone.

Last night we were walking the Bills against the Pats and she was laughing and standing with some assistance and hubby and I were laughing so hard because she was cracking up so much. It sounds stupid but was a great moment. She is and always be the center of our life. As long as she is happy and healthy I am good........


Love you little girl
Momma

4 weeks to go!!!

Wow the weeks still seem to be flying by. I think the key is to keep working as long as possible. Here we are at 35 weeks and still going strong. I am tired and sore and sleeping is pretty much out of the question. But I am happy Paige is still in there and healthy. I had my Buffalo show this past weekend and my mom was here to help getting things organized. The nursery looks amazing and it only needs small finishing touches at this point. We had an appointment with Dr. Fraas last week and she answered a lot of questions. I am officially done with Dr. White and the sonograms. (this makes me sad) Now it is just a waiting game. I have 2 1/2 weeks left of work and then a week of rest. We are so excited to meet Paige.

I will write next week

We love you Paige

Mommy

5 weeks to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant believe we are 5 weeks away (as of tomorrow) yes that's right tomorrow we are officially 34 weeks. We are really in the home stretch here. This weekend is my Buffalo shower and my mom is coming into town. She will help me wash things and get things organized and put away properly. People are commenting on how big I am getting. Baby Paige is really active in there rolling, kicking, and moving. I am so tired and sore all the time it is really unbelievable. The stress of carrying an extra 45 pounds is really taking a toll on my body. But I will take all the stress and discomfort if it means baby Paige comes out healthy and happy. My hormones seem to really be kicking up lately. This weekend was a rough one not really sure why? I booked daycare for Paige at Brierwood daycare for Monday, Thursday & Friday. So happy that is booked and I don't have to worry about it anymore. They seem really nice and I know Paige will fit in perfectly:)
We have an appointment with Dr. Fraas Wednesday and I plan to ask a bunch of questions about the c-section, birth control after Paige comes, etc...

We love you Paige and cant wait to meet you:)
Grow big and strong for Mommy & Daddy!!!

32 Weeks BIG NEWS!!! WE HAVE A BIRTHDAY

Well week 32 turned out to be an informative week. We started off with a doctor appointment on Tuesday and were surprised to hear they wanted to book our c-section now. So we are officially booked on 3/3/09 at 9am. I will need to be there at 7am and can not eat or drink after midnight the night before. I CAN NOT BELIEVE WE HAVE A BIRTHDAY!!! We are so excited we cant stand it. The c-section is with Dr. Baronski which we have not seen. We will see her at our 37 week appointment.

I had an appointment with Dr. White booked for Friday but we changed it to Thursday due to bad weather. Of course I got the nurse which is my least favorite. Paige was not cooperating with us either. First she had the hiccups and then right as they were about to do the 4D sono she turned facing inward and we could not get the shot. Otherwise everything else looked really good. She weight a whopping 5 LBS. and is now in the 89% percentale for length. (wonder how she takes after) The nurse said I might go early because she is SO BIG:)

It has been snowing so hard here lately and I am so ready for Spring, too bad we have a few more months of snow before we can even think about Spring. DH put together the swing today and I just cant wait for Paige to arrive!!!


We love you Paige keep growing big and strong for Mommy & Daddy (but not too big and strong as you are really starting to hurt Mommy with those movements and kicks:)

31 Weeks (9 weeks to go) ONLY 8 MORE WEEKS OF WORK!!!

I have not been keeping up with my updates!!!

Well here we are, its already 2009. 2009 is the year of Paige and I am so excited. I cant believe we are 2 months away from the arrival of Paige. Christmas and New Years was so nice and relaxing. I needed some time off from work to relax and get things in order for Paige. The nursery looks amazing. I have all the bedding washed and set up. My Rhinebeck shower was beautiful. I was so touched my mom went to so much trouble and really made the shower extra special. I took many pictures and we had 20 guests. I got beautiful gifts. Michele bought so many outfits from Gap I don't even know where to start LOL.
Next week we have a follow up with the OBGYN as well as a growth scan with Dr. White. I am really looking forward to seeing Paige again. I know she is still breech as I can feel her now and distinguish where her head is. It's funny when she is active, I can put my hand on my belly and she will eventually move towards my hand. That makes me feel so special, like she knows her momma's touch. I cant wait to meet her.

We love you Paige, please continue to grow big and strong......

28 Weeks (12 weeks to go)

Well we have made it through another exciting week.

Monday was our OB appointment with Dr. Trivette. We had a very quick "growth scan" which showed Paige is still doing well. She was measuring 2lbs 130z. and at the 60% for growth. Her arms and legs are VERY LONG just like Daddy. We also went for our glucose test (yet to hear the results) I am hoping and praying I pass this one as if I don't I will need to go back and take a 3 hour test.

Paige is still breech so the doctor said we will check her again at 36 weeks. If she is still breech we will schedule a c-section for week 39. This did bum me out at first but now I am finding the bright spots. (no long labor, no stitches down there etc.....)

Today was our growth scan with Dr. White

Cervix is holding strong at 4.50cm and Paige again looked really good. She is weighing in at 3lbs. and again long and ahead of schedule. Our favorite nurse did the sono and she put the 3D on and gave us amazing pictures. I am going to try and post one on this website. We go back at 32 weeks for another growth scan. They also gave me a movement chart I need to fill out.

We love you Paige, and can not wait to meet you:)
