Movies Mania!

Oh boy, there's a ton of good movies that I am looking foward on watching;

Funny People
G.I. Joe
The Time Traveler's Wife (which I'm actaully going to read the novel first!)

Hmm...those are the only 3 I can think of so far!! Although, I know there is a few more...let's see how I manage to get out to the movies. Daddy said we could take turns but I'm going to miss having our family movie dates!! I think we can manage taking Ailea out..she sleeps most of the time anyways & she can nurse or get breastmilk bottled..Shouldn't be no biggie..

Whew...I'm excited

[FiTLiCiOUS!]

Where to start/.......\ I'm 25lbs lighter since July 7, 2009!

I've been weighing myself every 2days since Ailea's Arrival. Today i finally reached my pre-pregnancy weight although I'm not feeling lighter. I guess, i've just been used to carrying around baby weight for so long. Even after having Leanna, i was carrying some extra lbs! I'm extremely ready to start working out, daily!! However, my body needs the given amount to get back to normal after pregnancy before exercise! Geez..I attempted to walk, at a good pace this past Saturday & my body rejected it...Ewwww....But I guess I can take it slower!
My "goal" is to lose 25lbs by October...is that realistic!! Well, I'm gonna "try"! I love working out, if I have the energy..so my plan is to squeeze in a work out in the morning before he goes to work. Whether it be on the Wii, pilates or some type of execise dvd, or going to the gym. The gym would be the best since I get out of the house ALONE, it'll be like My Mommy Hour! I also plan on working out in the evening with an outdoor walk or at the gym! Obviously, my I would much rather work out at the gym, since I'm less likely to get distracted and I have a variety of equipment to use!! YAY!! I can't wait!!!

My beauties

Words can't begin to describe the emotions runningthrough...when I observe Leanna interacting with Ailea. She so desparately wants Ailea to pay attention to her. However, Ailea is too young to interact with her at the level that Leanna expects...I love being a mommy, I love my girls with all my heart!

Baby Girl #2

FINALLY;Ailea's birth story...

I had scheduled to get induced on July 7, 2009 [Due Date was July 4th]..Checked-in to hospital 7amISH...I was 40wk, 3days....and was still dilated at a fingertip. They started pitocin around 830..was having minor contractions all morning that I wasnt feeling. Around 1pm Doc came in and stretched me from a 2 to a 3..and broke my water. [OUCH] They noticed that baby had a bowel movement..and said things should speed up since they broke the water..I started feeling contractions but kept calm & took long breathes through them, I managed to survive for about 30-45 minutes until they became much stronger & longer..30sec-1min long almost every 1-2minutes..OUCH! About 2pm, I asked for the epidural after crying my way through the last 15minutes. I felt like such a big baby...the epidural took affect around 2:30-2:45ish...even then i was feeling slight contractions. It took some time for the epidural to kick in, like...20-30minutes. I was feeling nauseous & miserable, I was in&out of napping..i reached a 4c around 3ish..they also had to give me the oxygen mask due to baby's activity. Nurse came back around 4:50pm and I was a 6c ..still feeling out of it..but anxious at the same time..I was texting/updating myspace&facebook [LOL] to keep myself distracted but at the same time I started feeling gassy and bloated-like..when the nurse came back in around 5:30..she asked how I was feeling and I mentioned the gassyness..She said, No..you shouldn't feel gassy..went to check me & said I was fully dilated and the gassy sensation I was feeling was probably the pressure..The epidural was still in affect..from there eveyrthing started going by fast..Doc came in and said baby is right there and all I needed to do was PUSH! ..I gave 3 good pushes in the matter of 2minutes and out came BABY!! I saw the whole thing..baby, umbilical cord..was even able to snap my own pix of daddy cutting the cord..I was shaky, i guess from the epidural and was crying...tears of happiness!!!

Ailea Nicky arrived at 5:54pm weighing 6lbs 15oz, 21inches long!!
