Well, I know I have posted on here since September.... Here is what happened. I found out I was Pregnant and I wasnt telling anyone yet. I was always tempted to post something about it on here every time I logged on. I stopped blogging for a while so no one would find out! Then I got out of the habit of blogging and totally forgot about it. So here I am.... back to blogging.
I found out I was pregnant in August when I was about 3 weeks pregnant. We were so excited. but after our previous miscarriage wanted to wait a while before we told anyone. I think we finally started telling people around October.
I had a great pregnancy. It was super easy for a long time. I felt great. I actually felt better than I ever had. I was a little nauseated at first, but never really threw up. I was just a little nauseated for a few weeks. I had more energy than I remember having in a long time. Things stayed great for many months. Then in February, I was put on bed rest.... I had a couple of high blood pressures at checkups, and was diagnosed with pregnancy induced hypertension. In order to prevent it from turning into preeclampsia, my Dr decided modified bed rest was the way to go. It was tough a first bc I felt so good, but could not do anything.... then I quickly got used to doing nothing! LOL I also go to have weekly ultrasounds as a result. This was super cool because I watch the baby's growth and progress week to week. That is a really nice treat when you are pregnant for sure. So, the bed rest went well and I made it to 38 weeks when I decided to be induced.
I was induced on wednesday, April 21. This was also a great experience. We checked in to the hospital the night before and got all settled. then they started the meds early the next morning. It took a couple of hours for me to dilate to 3 cm.... then within the next hour I was completely dilated and ready to go. I started pushing at 2..... and pushed for 2 hours and 55 minutes.... Which sounds terrible, but really wasn't. I really couldn't feel a thing. At 4:55 Isabella Kate Fiore was born. She weighed 7 lbs and 8 oz and was 20 inches long. My Mom and Brent were with me and it was fantastic.
We had a great 2 day stay at the hospital and then came home on Friday.
So far, we are adjusting well to our new life. Izzy is the sweetest little angel you have ever seen. She changes everyday and does new cute things everyday. I love watching the new things she will do each day. She is sleeping pretty good most nights.... 3-4 hours at a time, then eating and back to sleep. We have had a couple of rough nights, but mostly good sleep for all.
I guess now my blog will probably be more devoted to her than to me.... I will keep you all up to date on the daily cuteness I live with.
