Wishing You All A Happy New Year

Well just a few short hours till 2006 comes to an end. What a year, moving into a new house, getting married, trip to Vegas, buying a new van, and the arrival of Eastynn. I'm hoping this will be our busiest year for years to come. Anyway just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Hope everyone has a fun and safe night. See you next year.

Some Pics Of New Christmas Clothes

Here are a couple of pictures of the girls new clothes. Fabian's Uncle Daniel gave the girls a gift card for Please Mum and I was able to but them matching outfits. Although the pants are different colors and the main part of the shirt is a different color. But to cute, I have to dress them a like while they can't voice there opinions.

Happy Birthday Daddy (Fabian)

And finally yesterday was Fabian's birthday. Again we spent most of the day at my parents. Brett came over for a post Christmas drink or maybe it was a pre New Years drink. Other than that the day at my parents was pretty uneventful except that I got another good night sleep.
My parents gave Fabian either a wallet or a belt for his birthday and the other was for Christmas. Jason gave him what he thought was an Under Armour hat but its actually a Hurley hat. The girls and I bought him an Under Armour shirt. And his parents gave him some cash.
We came home at about 4 and spent the rest of the evening with Fabian's mom made another fantastic supper. She made quite a few atually while she was here which was great for me I haven't had to cook since Eastynn's been born. She also made a fantastic birthday cake for Fabian.
That's all for today.

Christmas With The Mellor's And Chisholm's

So Christmas morning was later than I expected everyone slept in later than usually. Most happy about this was me cause since Eastynn was born I hadn't got more than 2 hours of sleep.
We all opened our presents and again the girls got spoiled by grandma and grandpa and uncle Jason.
We all ate breakfast and showered and headed up to the Chisholm Christmas. The first car ride that Eastynn did not scream the entire way. Both girls were asleep when we arrived. Taylor slept for 2 and a half to 3 hours. And Eastynn I think was up less than an hour the entire day. Both of the girls were so well behaved they made me look like a very good mom. LOL.
Well I think all 4 of us got spoiled at Velvet's place but once again the girls were spoiled rotten. I can't believe how much our van can hold. I think its just about as big as our house. Fabian made at least 6 trips to bring everything in the house.
Supper was fantastic so much food I couldn't even try it all. Didn't get a chance to play any games but Catch Phrase was played and sounded like a good time. Poker was played a little while later and Fabian won the first round and by the time we left Grandma Chisholm was in the lead.
Just about all the Chisholm family was there the only two that were missing were Cindy's boys Adam and Aaron, but we got a family picture done with everyone which ended up being 30 possibly more. It was the first time in years we had a lot of these people here like Jason, he hasn't made it home for Christmas in about 5 years so it was nice for my mom.
Velvet was a fantastic host this year. Thanks

Christmas With The Huber's

On Christmas Eve we celebrated Christmas with the Huber family at Daniel's and his girlfriend Linda's place. And boy did Taylor and Eastynn get spolied. They got so much stuff from everyone I can't even mention it all.
We had a wonderful supper that I'm sure Linda slaved over all day, it tasted that way anyway.
Taylor had a blast playing with her new toys, with Calvin and Brooklynn's dog and with Murtle the Turtle.
Again Eastynn and I didn't stay very long, but from what I hear Taylor had a blast with Grandma.
Just want to Thank Eva and Brian, Daniel and Linda, and Calvin and Brooklynn for a good Christmas. And like I said in the previous post the next visit should be a lot less stressful.
The pic of the family posted here is pretty bad but what can you do.

What A Crazy Week

I don't know what to say about the past week except that it was crazy. Fabian's parents came to Medicine Hat on Wednesday and brought a few baby gifts for Eastynn. Thank you to all who sent gifts down to the Hat they are greatly appreciated. My dad also had shoulder surgery on Wednesday.
Fabian's parents normally stay at Daniels, Fabian's uncle who just lives on the other side of the building, but they had company so Fabian's parents stayed at our place and we stayed at my parents place in case my mom or dad needed help because of my dad's surgery.
Then Fabian's brother Calvin and his girlfriend Brooklynn came down on Friday, I think, by that time Daniels company had left so they stayed with them. They left on Christmas day.
My brother Jason came on Sunday and he left yesterday.
Everyone wanted to spend time with the girls which made it really hard to spread the time evenly, which I couldn't accomplish. Eastynn likes to cluster feed, she will feed a few times in a couple of hours then sleep, sleep, sleep. And boy does she hate the car. Which makes it horrible to go anywhere. She will cry the second you put her in the car and stop the second you take her out, most times sometimes she continues to cry.
So I must apologize to the Huber's for the lack of time they got to spend with Eastynn and I. Next time I'm sure will be more relaxed and not so much to do and people to see. I feel very bad.

How Could I Forget

We have some other good news that I forgot about. Since Eastynn was born I have not had a cigarette. And since I'm not sure if its been since Saturday or Sunday since Fabian has had a cigarette. I figure we have probably saved at the least $30 and at the most $100. Wow didn't realize till now how much we actually spent on smokes. Anyway we did not only for the girls but for us to we are going to be a healthy family.

My Girls

Just wanted to post some pictures of the girls together. I decided to let Taylor hold the baby and she finally agreed. So we had to get some pictures to cute.

She's Finally Here

Eastynn raced into the world on Friday December 15th at 6:47 pm. Like I said I went in to be induced at 7:30. I was sent home and told to come back when contractions were 5-7 minutes apart. I started having contractions at about 2 they weren't very painful and were 10 minutes apart. So Fabian and I watched a movie and by the last 5 minutes of the movie we decided to leave for the hospital that was at about 5:30 pm. We got to the hospital and was hooked up to the monitors for about 15 minutes before the nurse checked me and told me I was 7 cm we moved into the labor and delivery. I had some pretty intense contractions then they called the doctor. He came in and broke my water and maybe 2 pushes after that she was here.
She weighed 7 lbs 6 oz and was 19 inches long
I couldn't believe I was at the hospital for only about an hour before she was born.
Don't get me wrong it was fast but still quite painful I had a second degree tear which required stitches but I'd rather it be fast and painful then just painful.
We just got out of the hospital today cause I had a chest infection. That they thought was going to turn onto pneumonia one of the nurses also mentioned bronchitis so not sure what it is/was.

Here's The Low Down On The Induction

This morning we went in to be induced. Yesterday I was not dilated or effaced and this morning the doctor said I was a little effaced, I think.
They hooked me up to some monitors and to our surprise there were a few contractions. But they still induced me and that was a little before 8 am. The doctor said it usually takes 6-8 hours to go into active labor. The hooked me back up to some monitors. To see how the gel was working I had one decent contraction in that one hour. But it is starting to work now my contractions are about 10-15 minutes apart but very bearable. So we go back either when I'm in labor. Or we go back tomorrow afternoon some time so they can do another non stress test. That's where they hook you up to the monitors to see the baby's fetal movement and heartbeat. And apparently and unfortunately if this induction doesn't work we have to wait till Monday to be induced again. I'm not sure what measures they will go to because they will not let me go past Monday, but hopefully we won't have to find out.

Today Is The Big Day Hopefully

Well we are up and about, Fabian is just having a shower and getting ready, he takes longer than me to get ready. I've got all Taylor stuff packed for Grandma's house. And I'm getting ready to have a shower. Then we will head off to the hospital so hopefully this will all take and by this time tonight or shortly there after Eastynn will be here. Just wanted to send you guys hopefully my last post as mom of one.

Finally Their Going To Induce Me

We just got back from the doctors and they are finally going to induce me after 41 weeks and 2 days. All the nurses and the doctor were all quite confused on why I haven't been induced yet. But it was due to the doctor getting called away in a hurry last week, she had to run and said we'd discuss it at this doctors appointment. I don't think she realized how far overdue that would make me.
This will be in detail just to warn you all. The doctor did an internal exam today and said that my cervix was still closed. So what's going to happen tomorrow is.
1. We will get up at probably 6:00 am and get ready and take Taylor to my mom's place.
2. We have to be at the hospital to be admitted at 7:20.
3. Go to Labor and Delivery.
4. They will monitor me for an hour.
5. They are going to put some gel in me to thin out my cervix.
6. Then they will make me walk around for awhile.
7. Then they will monitor me for another hour.
8. Then they will send me home till contractions start if contractions haven't started by then.
9. Hopefully by the end of the day we will have a new baby.
Now if all this doesn't take they are going to try it again on Saturday.
So definitely by Sunday Eastynn will be here. I think they will pull out all stops between now and Sunday. Cause once you hit a certain stage in pregnancy you amniotic fluid starts to decrease which can be harmful to the baby.
I hope I explained good enough but if you have any question give us a call.

Overdue Day 9

Today is day 9. I do have a doctors appointment at 2:20 pm and we are going to apparently discuss induction. So everyone be patient and I will let everyone know as soon as possible hopefully within the next 24 hours we will have a baby. Most doctors appointments if you get there on time you can wait for the doctor anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. So hopefully we will know for sure by supper. I'm hoping they just send me right down stairs to the labor and delivery room but who knows. Talk to you soon.

Overdue day 8

Well today is day 8 and still no baby. I thought she'd come today but nope. I was in a lot of pain last night. Must be the baby getting into position. We do have a doctors appointment tomorrow so I will have news for everyone tomorrow. The appointment is in the late afternoon. So there maybe 2 posts tomorrow or one late one. But that's really all I got for now.

Overdue Day 7

Well another day and still no baby. My lower back is a little sore so maybe she'll come soon or maybe I slept funny who knows and at this point I don't care any more. She'll be here by Friday if they induce me. That's all for today.

Overdue Day 6

Ok this is getting a little silly now. Today I'm 6 days overdue. I totally thought it would be today cause I thought I was having mild contractions yesterday. Unfortunately there's nothing that can be done by the doctors till after Thursday. And the bad thing is this baby is getting bigger on a daily basis, I'm getting scared.
Fabian's doctor didn't end up draining the fluid on his ankle instead he scheduled a surgery for in February. That's going to be difficult to have the two little ones and a sore foot but he'll manage.
That's all till tomorrow.

Just A Quick Note

Well December 5th has come and gone and still no baby. Although this evening around 6 - 7 pm I was feeling like she was going to for sure make her arrival but the pain only lasted a couple hours it was pretty intense pain, not quite as bad as a real contraction but there was a lot of pain when I would stand or sit but once I was standing or sitting I was good.
The dart tournament for Fabian went well. He ended up 5th in his section. Then they went to a knock out round and he ended up finishing third over all. I'm very proud of him today.
Tomorrow Fabian also has a doctor's appointment for his foot. They are going to drain some fluid and possibly give him a shot of cortisone.
That's all for now hopefully I won't be posting tomorrow and that means the baby is coming but don't worry unless there is no post by 4 pm.

Overdue Day 5

Well today is day 5, I'm posting a bit early today. Fabian is already gone to play darts. Taylor is going to have a bath then we'll have some lunch, and go over to grandma's house. Then I get to go watch Fabian play darts for awhile. Then were going to my parents for supper. I suppose Eastynn could potentially still come today but as of now nothing.
that's all for now.

Overdue day 4

Well you guessed it still no baby. Which I guess if fine I'm getting use to her waiting. She's like her daddy when he gets ready in the morning they both take there time. I'm hoping she doesn't come now for at least the next 30 hours or so. Fabian has a dart tournament tomorrow and its geared towards new players so he has a very good chance at winning it. As well all the money raised goes towards the women's shelter here, a good cause right before Christmas.
So hopefully she will be ready to come out near the end of the dart tournament or afterwards. Monday would be Eastynn's great uncle shane's birthday so that would be an ok day for her to come. I just hope its not Wednesday the doctor on that day I don't like and its the 13th. I don't want Eastynn to have her birthday on a Friday the 13th.
Will post again tomorrow.

Overdue Day 3

Still no baby. I guessed she would be born on the 8th I guess I was wrong. Not much else to say. Just remember mom and dad Huber I put in one of the post a couple of days ago that I will post before 4pm. I know you called all curious and worried yesterday but we had the doctors appointment that's why I said after 4 and just in case I forget but no worries you will be the first ones we call. We can't and won't forget about you.

Overdue Day 2

Well another day has come and gone and still no baby Eastynn. Getting frustrated more and more each day. Today we had a doctors appointment and our appointment was at 1:10pm and the doctor didn't show till about 2pm and the doctor came in and left right quick she had to go delivery a baby (lucky girl). But she had said the baby has dropped but every time I go they say something that makes me think any day now and here I am still pregnant. The heartbeat was good and my blood pressure was good. So my next appointment is next Thursday and they said we'd discuss induction then. Although the nurse said the latest I can go is the 15th so I will probably be at the hospital a lot next week. So I will keep you all updated on any progress or lack there of.

Overdue Day 1

Today is my first day of being overdue and since it 12:30 I don't think she will be making an arrival for great grandma Chisholm's birthday. I do have a doctors appointment tomorrow so we will find out if they are going to choose to induce or if they will wait another week. I hope not. I'm going to ask to be induce as early as Monday because that would be Uncle Shane's birthday. Hopefully she will come before that though. I will keep you all updated. Posts will most likely all be before 4 pm till the day I go in.

And The Due Date Will Come An Go

So today is Eastynn's due date it is about 2:15pm. So weather I go into labor or not today I don't think Eastynn will make it before midnight. Tomorrow is the day that everyone thinks Eastynn will come. It is great grandma's birthday, so she wants the baby born on her birthday, my mom wants it born tomorrow, and Fabian's guess is it will be tomorrow.
Keep your fingers crossed I just hope any time the sooner the better in my opinion.

Tomorrow is SUPPOSE to be the big day

Tomorrow is suppose to be the big day and I'm starting to feel like she'll never come. I have been so ready for Eastynn's arrival for such a long time, I'm starting to get frustrated. Although I know I should be spending these last few baby free days with Taylor it is actually quite emotional. Every time I hold her or get some one on one time I'm always thinking this could be the last time we get to do this. And it breaks my heart that my baby isn't going to be my baby any more. Although I know every women I have talked to says my oldest is still my baby they never stop. And I'm very scared about the pain of child birth. I'm just hoping I get something for the pain this time. With Taylor I progressed so quickly that there was really no time for pain medication. Although I wouldn't be all that upset to have another quick delivery. Eastynn is suppose to be born today or tomorrow. Today according to the weeks and months and tomorrow according to the ultrasound. If she waits till the 6th that is great grandma Chisholm's birthday, which would be very nice as well, considering I was named after her. But they say the latest I could go would be the 15th which is next Friday but I think I would ask to be induced on Monday cause that is Uncle Shane's birthday. And I just thank god she doesn't have a chance to be born on her daddy's birthday I don't think Fabian or myself could wait till then (boxing day for those who don't know).
But we will keep everyone updated maybe a quick post before we head off to the hospital.
Keep your fingers crossed and us in your prayers in the mean time. Thanks
