Trying to update!

I'm not very good at updating my blog! I have had a lot going on with learning how to be a stay at home mom and learning how to sew. I never really thought I would enjoy sewing but I actually do. Ever since I had Journey I realized how fun it is to make things for her! I use to hate going to craft stores with my Mom and now I love it! It's strange how having a baby makes you change. I am currently making diapers, nursing covers, tiny take along blankets, bows, bow holders, pillowcase dresses, diaper wipe cases and anything else I see that looks like fun! I am just in the beginning stages but learning quickly. My Mom and I will be going to our first craft show at the end of September. I am very excited and nervous since I have never been to one. Plus I will be taking Journey with me to all the shows. I really hope she gets use to the pack-n-play! Look up Journey Baby Boutique and come see me at the shows!
Now here are some pictures of my sweet baby girl!!

What a Journey

Well it has been awhile since my last post I know. However, I have had a lot going on! Lets see if I can catch everyone up. I had a beautiful baby girl on December 9, 2009! Her name is Journey Rose and is now 3 months old! I can't believe how fast they grow! I know everyone says that but man is it true. So I was admitted to the hospital on December 6th to be inducted. Well a couple of days before I started to get a cough and was really hoping I was not getting sick. So on the 6th they started the induction and it was going very slowly. So around the evening of the 6th my cough was getting worse. I asked the nurse if it was possible to get some cough syrup or something. They kinda blew me off until the next time she came in and I told her I thought I had a fever. So she checked and I did and they decided to call my doctor. They gave me some meds and decided to do a flu test! I have never had the flu in my life and just received a flu shot in March while I was still in Qatar. So when they came back and told me that I had Swine Flu I was shocked!!!!! What are the odds that I would get Swine Flu while in labor! Double whammy!! Well Frank, Caroline and my Mom had been in the room with me the entire time so if I was sick they were most likely to get it as well. They were allowed to stay since they had already been exposed. Plus I think the staff kinda felt bad for me! At this point I was now being quarantined! No visitors were allowed and everyone who came

into my room had to wear masks and gowns. They even had a station set up outside my room!

So now the induction has been stopped until I no longer have a fever. On the morning of the 9th i was feeling much better so the doctor decided to begin the induction again. finally after about 9 hours later the contractions were unbearable!! Since I had so much medicine to start labor the contractions were nonstop! Where was that epidural??

After the epidural I felt great! Finally around 9 pm the "fun" began! Well she was determined to make me work! she was face up and it was just not possible that she was coming out with out surgery. Finally I was wheeled in to have a C-Section

and at 10:25 Journey Rose was born! 8 lbs 5 oz 20 1/2 inches long!!

And that makes 3!!
