Happy Anniversary & More

Happy Anniversary to ME!! Well actually I guess it should be to us. lol Cant believe its been 1 whole year already and I didnt have to keel Logan! I had no doubt that we would  make it this far. I know there are many many more years to come.. There were days that I did want to keel him, but I didnt.. I love him so much.
Tonight dinner at Texas Road house or maybe Lotta Watta Steak house (mmmm) and then movie.. Think we are going to see Shrek since we have the kids.. Ellie would love to was a HUGE tv.. lol And if Garrett cries, it should be that big of a deal since there will be kids running around being obnoxious.


Ellie now says "I love you" as of yesterday. Its so cute.  She is saying so much. Maybe Ill make a post of all the things she says..


I have a Fashion Bug credit card eating a hole in my pocket!! lol I want to go get a new top to wear tonight, but probably wont... I just keep telling my self to wait that I am losing weight and dont want  waste money on clothes that hopefully wont fit long.. I want to someday be that "stylish" mom... Working on it... slowly..

A good start would to get dressed and go to the gym after the kidos wake up from their naps...

Motivation

 Im so sad and hate my belly.. Why is it so hard for me to get motivated to go to the gym? I dont like using my kids as an excuse, but after dealing with crying kids first thing in the morning really doesnt put me in the work out mood.. Ugh!! But it isnt really just about working out.. Im so unmotivated to do much of anything, house work, anything.. Im so unorganized, ta boot. I just wish I could be motivated and organized every day.  Id settle for 4 out of 7 days even.

Every night I tell myself "Tomorrow Im going to get up and go to the gym and work my butt off." I know that the end results will be great, but when morning comes its like , bluh....... I just want to be able to wear normal pants and normal shorts without having to buy new ones to fit me. Heck I cant even buy new shorts to fit me right not.. Not cute ones.. The only ones Walmart has in 18+ are like long  shorts that are dorky. Not what Im wanting to wear. Plus Id love to be able to sport a cute swim suit this summer. Doesnt even have to be a bikini, just long as my "hate" handles arnt bulging out.

I love Logan and Im proud of him for the progress he has made on losing weight, but some times when he is talking about it, I just want him  to stop.. He talks about having dropped so many lbs already and I havent lost any yet...

I did manage to get motivated enough to make a couple lovies today. But not motivated enough to get them all done. I have to make 6 by Friday. Now thats a hard thing to do with kids of this age.. Ellie has been good for the most part. I have the travel DVD play set up for her and some toys to play with in the basement where I do my sewing. But they cant always be good.

Alright, I got my vent out for th night. Its almost midnight and Ellie is still awake, though she did just say she is ready for sleep.. Daddy will be home soon.. So I guess it should be meemee time..

testing moble updates.....

My Son

I just realized, that because I am just starting to blog again I havent blogged about my son.

Garrett Michael-Wells was born January 25, 2010 at 7:10 pm. He weighed 8 lbs 11 oz and was 20 inches even. Here's our story.

I went in on January 25th, 2010 to be induced. We were scheduled to be there at 6 AM but of course we were a little late. Once we got there and admitted, the hooked me up with IV fluids and a drip for GBS. Around 8 they started the Pitocin drip. They checked me at 9 and said I was still 3 cm and baby was still high. My OB wanted to break my water, but decided to wait til the baby dropped more. Contractions started to get stronger but nothing serious or painful. 12:45 they checked me again and I still hadn’t dilated passed 3 cm, though baby had dropped little. They had me laying on my side saying it would help to bring him down. I was so hungry since I hadn’t eaten anything since 8 the night before. Around 3 pm, my OB decided to brake my water since I wasn’t dilating. After he did that the contractions got way strong and painful! I was for sure ready for my EPI! The nurse said she wanted to wait at least 15 minutes to see how baby reacted to my water being broke. I finally got my epi at 4 pm and OMG it hurt soooo bad!! First doing the numbing shot, I didn’t know she would be poking me more then once, so when she poked me the second time it scared me and hurt, I pulled away.. I had a pain down my hip. Then the lady doing it said I may feel “electricity in my legs or back.” She wasnt kidding! I got this weird electric pain in my leg, my leg jerked all by its self.. That was enough to make me almost cry. It was horrible.... HOWEVER, it was totally worth it because it make all the pain go away! It was also done good this time again, like with Ellie, I could still move my legs some and still feel minor pressure from the contractions.. I also started itching instantly! EVERYWHERE! My tongue itched! My eyes itched (lol) everywhere itched. The nurse came and checked me again around 5 pm and I was between 6-7 cm. The epi made me a little jittery too. Not much longer! I called my mom to let her know she should come to the hospital. By six my mom was there and I was 8 cm. Shortly there after I started feeling pressure down there. I told my nurse. She got me all set up and turned the “flood light” on. She held one leg and my mom held the other. She told me to push.. We did a few “practice” pushes to see if baby would come down. I was kinda embarrassed at first cause Logan was there, I was afraid Id poop on the table and he would never let it go. But I finally had to tell myself to get over it and push. My nurse says “Stop! He’s about to come! Have to get your OB!” So off she went to fetch my doc.. They came rushing back in. It took two big pushed to get his head out. That was a weird feeling. I could feel him crowning, no pain just the pressure. Then two smaller pushes to get his body out, which also was a weird feeling! Baby Garrett Michael-Wells was born at 7:10 pm. He weighed 8 lbs 11 oz and was 20 inches long. Everyone kept saying how big he was, but he was still small to me! I only tore a tiny bit. They called it “skid mark.” lol (I had “road rash” with Ellie) We had to stay in the hospital for two days. So glad to be home now!

Couple days old

3 Months old- He is a great baby. So quiet, hardly fusses. Already sleeping through most of the night. I love his smiles and giggles! To cute!!
