Big Weekend

To me this is one of the biggest weekend's of the year for me. I hope everything works out for me.
Took some pics of Taylor this morning before her and Fabian headed off to go get gas and to pick up Grandpa.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Eastynn Is 2 Months

Eastynn is 2 months old today. How time fly's. She had her 2 month shots today that is really hard on a mom and a dad too. It didn't seem as bad as Taylor's shots cause she was crying prior to the needles.

The nurse mentioned that she has quite a bad temper. We're trying to figure out what side of the family that comes from. We're all pretty laid back families.

Taylor got weighed today too she weighs in at 31 lbs. Eastynn weighs 9 lbs 11 oz. And her height is 21 inches. She is in the 25 percentile for both her height and weight, I was a little concerned about her weight but the nurse said she was quite happy with her height and weight. For her head she is in the 75th percentile and there's no question where the size of her head comes from, she has the Chisholm's to thank for that.

Happy Valentines Day

I know its been awhile since my last post but we have been a little busy.

We went to Edmonton last Friday. It was a little scary but Fabian and I made a bigger deal out of the trip then it actually was. Eastynn usually cries from the time we get in to the time we stop, but she was very good I think she doesn't like traveling in the city though. To much starting and stopping.

I played darts on Friday and Saturday. I got joint ninth in all the events I played in which was a blind draw, ladies singles, and mixed triples. Which was very good, I played very well.

Taylor has been a good girl as usual making us laugh.

Fabian had his surgery on his foot and is doing well. It is very swollen but he says it doesn't hurt so that's a good thing.

On the way home from Edmonton we stopped at my friend Tamara's, who I have only seen twice in three years, but it will be a lot more now that she lives in Calgary instead of Winnipeg. She has just recently started her family her little boy Landon (who is adorable) is going to celebrate his first birthday in March.
After our visit with Tamara, we stopped and picked up Jason, my mom's birthday was on the 9th, to surprise my mom. She was definitely surprised, we all went shopping and even went to a movie at the theatre. I didn't know they still existed it been so long since I have been to the movies. "Because I Said So" is a great movie. And yesterday I made a roast beef and yorkshire pudding dinner for my parents and Jason before he had to leave.

Now that is what has happened since my last post.
This will be what is going to happen till my next post.

Tomorrow Eastynn is going to be 2 months old which means her 2 month immunization, I'm very scared the worst thing to see your baby cry.
Friday we are heading back up to Edmonton. This time it is to see if I can pull it off and make the provincial team this year. So I will post again on Tuesday weather or not I made it, just keep me in your prayers this is a very big deal for me and need all the help I can get.

That's all for now.

Funny Kid

Just thought I'd post these pictures of Taylor. She thought the piece of styrofoam would make a good hat.

Taylor's Swimming And Skating Pictures

Crazy Week End

This weekend was a little crazy. Friday night we had Jacobs birthday party. Saturday morning Fabian and Taylor had swimming lesson's when they got home I went to darts. I played ladies doubles with Eileen Haddon one of the best ladies at the sport at the time and can still throw a heck of a dart. We finished in second. After that we had a little singles tournament and I did really well and got first in that. When I got home Fabian took Taylor swimming and Eastynn and I watched. They got out of the pool at 6:00. We had a quick supper from A & W.
Then we took Taylor skating, her cousin/Godmother Tara took her actually. Taylor only lasted 15 minutes and I think Tara skated with her in her arms for about 10 of those minutes. But Tara said she did really well, I didn't think so but I know nothing, she said she had really good balance. We'll see how it goes next time I think skating is going to be a really slow process.
After skating we took Taylor to my mom's house and went and played poker at the Collins' house. Which turned out to be a good decision. We contemplated going or not going for about a week right up till we got there, just cause we had such a busy weekend. But when playing poker they paid out first and second. And Fabian and I ended up being the last 2 players so didn't bother figuring out who got first and who got second.
Sunday I went and played darts again. And Eileen and I came in third on the Sunday. Came home and sent Fabian and Taylor grocery shopping. So I could clean the house. After all that we ended up in bed by 10:00 I think. First time in forever. But hopefully bed time will stay there for good now.
But that's all for now.

Birthday Party

We went to a birthday party last night, which is actually tonight. It was Jacob's first birthday, he is a family friend. We play darts with his mom and dad Scott and Shauna. They also have two boys Nathan is going to be 3 next month and Jacob is obviously one, as I just said it was his birthday.
We had a lot of fun especially Taylor. Nathan once the little boy who use to take all of the toys was a little gentleman sharing all his toys with Taylor. They played well definately a good friendship in the future there.
It was a great evening.

Can't Wait Till Saturday

I can't wait till Saturday. I'll have some good pics to post on Sunday. I'm going to play darts in the morning when I'm done, Fabian will take Taylor swimming, later Tara is going to take Taylor skating for her first time ever. So there should be good pictures to post.
Tomorrow we are going to a birthday party so there should be some pictures to post from that too.
that's all for now.

Crazy Day

Today was a little bit of a crazy day. Both girls not very happy. Taylor decided she should pull every toy, book, and stuffed animal out. As well as some of her dishes, from the drawer she has access too. And would not help me clean up and when I got down to her level and pulled her towards me she fell over on one of her toys and she had a big time crying session. All the while Eastynn is in her swing crying. I believe she's going through a growth spurt. I feel like she has been nursing for about 12 hours straight, she will fall asleep while nursing and as I pull away she wakes up crying. But still won't take a pacifier. Very frustrating. But now Taylor's sleeping and Eastynn finally calmed down, I had to actually give her a bottle of formula, right now she mostly nurses but on dart nights she will get formula.

Funny Girl

I find it very funny how kids a 2 and half have such a good sense of humor. Taylor is super funny. She cracks me up on a daily basis. She came out of my room dressed in my shirt. Didn't expect that. Some pictures to prove her wacky sense of humor. And also a pic of me and my two girls. They look cute as usual me I look horrible but the best picture I think I have taken since I had the baby probably before that.
That's all for now.

Eastynn Is Getting So Big

Just come to post a few pics. I apparently got to do a little more reading the pics didn't turn out to great but wanted to post anyway. One is one of Eastynn at a week old or so the rest are of her over the last few days.

What A Year So Far

This news is not about the girls although they have been a good part of my year so far.
Tony Hyde, a fellow dart player, had a amazing Christmas. He apparently got a phone call at 3 am that he finally was getting the organs he has long awaited for. He was doing good with one organ but the other was not taking so well, but apparently now he is doing a lot better.
And my good friend Becky's mother got her long awaited transplant. And from what I hear she is doing fantastic.
Just wanted everyone to know.
My thoughts and prayers are with both they Hyde family and the Painter family as well.

Car Seat

I decided to venture out of the house today, but I still couldn't do it alone so my mom came along. She quickly found out why I don't take the girls any where. Eastynn was in absolute hysterics and Taylor takes her shoes and socks off, something I couldn't deal with on my own.
We went and took some Christmas presents back for an exchange. And went to the mall in search for a little sheep skin to put at the bottom of Eastynn's car seat which seems to work, you'll be able to slightly see it in the picture. I also added some toys to her car seat. I really don't know what it is though her car ride home was good. She stayed awake and did not cry. But it could have been the toys, the sheep skin, or the fact she had just eaten.
The other pictures are again those outfits we bought with the gift card from Uncle Daniel and Linda. Taylor won't let me take the camera out without taking her picture. I wish I would have had it at my parent house too, she put on a little hat and it was absolutely adorable.

Woohoo

Today we took back one of our Christmas presents and with that money and some money from both of our parents we bought a new camera. It is a canon powershot s3is. So hopefully we will get lots of new and fantastic pictures of the girls and maybe even a couple of Fabian and I.
This week has been pretty uneventful. Fabian worked and that's about all he did. He and Taylor did go swimming twice once for fun and once for lessons. I had an equally dull week spent most of the week with the girls. And had my Tuesday night darts. But I practiced Wednesday and Thursday. I also played in two jitney's (blind draw) one on Friday and Saturday. I have to play as much as possible in order to make the provincial team.
Taylor was doing really good with the sleeping but had a couple bad days. As soon as we stop being lazy and start being consistent things will all work out I think.
As for Eastynn she is doing good, growing lots. Uncle Daniel and Linda stopped over and said she was getting big. We really can't tell cause we see her everyday. She was having some difficulty pooping but when she does there good ones. I was getting a little concerned but after talking to the health nit they said some babies will go a week with out pooping. So that kind of put my mind at ease. She has went up to 6 days before pooping but then will poop everyday for three days and then not have one for awhile again. But as long as she is happy we won't worry about it.
That's all for now will try and post more pictures more often now.

I can't believe it

Last night we actually got Taylor in bed at the time we wanted her in bed no messing around. It took about 15 minutes before she fell asleep. She may get to stay up a little later tonight because of darts but hopefully tonight will be the last Tuesday she gets to stay up.

She napped yesterday for about an hour and a half. NOT NEARLY LONG ENOUGH. She is use to napping for 3 hours, she was so cranky when she got up. So today we will try 2 hours. I think that's what was the problem before is that she would nap so long she wouldn't be tired at bed time. So now we just have to find a happy medium. But for 2 days in a row she has napped at or around 1. So that how baby one is doing.

As for Eastynn, she is getting so big she's about 21 inches now I measured her yesterday. She is starting to stay awake for longer periods of time and smile a lot more. She's not very regular with her bowel movements so she gets quite cranky. Although its been about 3 days since her last one and she usually goes every third day. I couldn't imagine that myself, but I talked to the health link nurse and they said it was ok just as long as its not more than a week. Anyway Grandma Mellor will probably get a very full diaper tonight. She sleeps pretty good but she has to be swaddled or she has to be held while sleeping and if she's swaddled she won't sleep unless in her swing. I think she maybe a little harder than Taylor. And a wee bit of a temper when she wants something it has to be done now, RIGHT NOW. But whatever how can you not with a baby that cute. She is also starting to coo a little now I love that. But unfortunately there's nothing else I can say. So that's all for baby 2.

Getting Better

Well we missed a few nights of putting Taylor down early. One night cause we went to a friends the next night she went to bed on her own earlier than we would have put her down. But last night mommy put Taylor to bed it only took 15 minutes instead of a half hour and we did this at about 10:15. She did get up at 3 but Eastynn was up either with a sore tummy or celebrating the fact that she is already month old, personally I think it was a tummy ache. Tonight I will try to put Taylor down around 9:30ish. I'm very excited about her being on a schedule. I wanted her once we got the night time schedule to start taking naps at 1:00 and she so happened to fall asleep today at 1:00, lucky me. But unlucky that Eastynn decided to get up at one.
Well that's about all for now just wanted everyone to know how the schedule was going.

Holy Cow

Today Eastynn is 4 weeks old already. It is unbelieveable to me although we were really busy in December I just can't phathom that weeks weeks have passed by so quickly. Eastynn is starting to coo a little bit and she is smiling s little bit, although it could be gas she has gas all the time but it doesn't seem to bother her at all.
Taylor we got her to sleep another half hour earlier so I'm soping this will work well. I can't wait till she is in bed by 8:00 it will be a lot easier on Tuesday's when we play darts if my mom has to worry about Eastynn and not Taylor. Not that she can't handle the 2 of them. She seems a little happier already. Although she is fantastic till she has both parents around then she becomes a little harder to control. But she's a good girl maybe tonight if Eastynn will let me I can put Taylor to bed. I think she knows she can't get away with as much with me as she can with daddy. But were all going to work on that.
Fabian had his job interview yesterday and should know in about a week how it went.
And tomorrow mommy gets a day to play darts, I'm so excited although I hate being away from the girls and Fabian for the whole day, but better me got out and have some adult time then to be at home with the girls to much.

Its a start

Today instead of 12:00 am we managed to get Taylor to bed at 11:30. So if we manage a half hour per night she should be in bed by 8:00 next Wednesday. That would be awesome although I like the fact she sleeps late. But I guess a schedule is more important and hopefully with the routine she won't be so cranky.
We are also going to purchase a card for the swimming pool where you can go 10 times. Hoping in doing so that when we take Taylor swimming it will tire her out a little more. Which will also make the evening schedule full.
Wish us luck with getting her in a routine, that will work for us all.

Eastynn is doing well. She has been sleeping a lot today and eating a little better. Not that she wasn't eating good before just a lot at once, which was personally wearing me out. Hopefully this will stick with her. I think she was going through a growth spurt and I'm getting a bit better at not feeding her every time she cries. Next Wednesday if it is nicer we will go to the breastfeeding clinic just to make sure she is gaining adequate weight and we're doing everything right.

Fabian has a job interview at the hospital tomorrow so hopefully for his sake he gets that job. It would be nice for the whole family although I like the flexibility at his job with the college.

As for me just pretty much taking in all that's going on with the family. Still been having some mild headaches but I think that maybe from lack of sleep.

Schedules?

Why is it so unbeilevably hard to get toddlers on a schedule. I want Taylor to be going to bed before midnight but it is so hard. We actually had 2 nights recently where she was in bed one night at 8:30 and one at 9:00 it was very nice but very short lived. All I want is a schedule that the whole family can be happy with. in my ideal world it would be:
8:00 get up, change bum, eat breakfast, brush teeth, get dressed, watch dora and blues clues
12:15 lunch
1:00-2:30 nap
5:15 supper
7:00 bathtime, brush teeth, storytime
8:00 sleep
Not sure what we could do with all the free time
If anyone has any ideas on what I can do let me know, cause Taylor is getting very whinny and I think it due to the lack of schedule.

Bath Time

Well I know I promised you all some pictures. They are going to be few and far between from now on because for some reason both of our cameras are broken. So I want to get a new camera but want to get a good one. Anyway.
Here are a couple of pics of Eastynn having a bath she really likes being in the bath tub.
These pics were taken with Fabian's phone.

3 weeks already

I have no idea where the time has gone but my baby is already 3 weeks old. She is getting a bit bigger. She eats very good during the day but at about 8:00 she its a non stop deal till the wee hours of the morning which makes me very tired.
Taylor has been having a tough time at bed time not going to bed till 1:00 am most nights. We did however get her into bed at 10:00 the other night only to have her wake up at 1:00 am and not go back to sleep until 6:30 am. That really sucked. She is so tired she is becoming very whiny but maybe its jealousy of Eastynn, I'm not quite sure.
Fabian went back to work. So he has been very busy with that.
Me I'm exhausted. I had a migraine the last couple of days, yesterday it was so bad I made Fabian come home from work. I would have got him to take me to the hospital but I wouldn't have been able to feed Eastynn. I have been a little overwhelmed and haven't done a whole lot of house work except for cleaning Taylor's toys. It is pretty hard when you have a baby attatched to your boob.
And finally Fabian and I have been smoke free for 3 weeks. That is a HUGE deal.
Will post some pictures soon.

It Was A Nice Evening

Well Happy New Year to all. We had a nice evening with the Chisholm's. We played a little poker, ate some food and had some fun. When New Year's rolled around, Taylor had a blast giving hugs to everyone over and over the snowman even got a hug. It was probably the cutest thing she has ever done. It was so much fun.

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

Last Doctor's Visit Hopefully

Today we had another and hopefully my last doctors visit. Last week I hadn't gained any weight and this week I gained only 0.4 lbs. Which the doctor seemed a little concerned about but she didn't go into much detail. My blood pressure was good, the baby's heart rate was good. The baby is still moving around really good. Good enough to just about bring me to my knees on a daily basis. Weather the baby's jabbing me in the ribs or hanging out on my groin muscles (which hurts the most). She also asked me cause the baby's head was so low if I was having contractions, which makes me think it won't be much longer. I was told to come back in a week but I'm hoping I don't have to.
On another note I'd like to wish Uncle Colin a Happy 50th Birthday I know it on December 1st but I don't think I'll post again tomorrow. Maybe I can give Uncle Colind a great niece or nephew. I have been told its a girl but I have my doubts.

Taylor's Bad Day

Sorry I haven't had a post for awhile. I don't know if we've been busy or lazy but its one of the two. On the weekend I played darts, on Saturday I played the final day of zones and ended up coming in first for the day and in my zone as well. On Sunday I played darts in the Kelly Allibone Memorial. Good tournament Kelly was about my age and died 3 years ago of a heart problem. All the money from the tournament goes to Kelly's kids so its a good thing although I spent a lot of money but I guess I don't need to feel bad as it goes to a good cause.
As for Taylor and her bad day on Saturday when I got home from darts she thought it would be a good day to get sick. She must have thrown up at least a dozen times from about 9pm to 2am. It was a long night for Fabian as I can't get down to the floor long enough to clean it up. And she also threw up on him 4 times. Although the next morning she was a lot better. But now we think she is getting a cold which I had anticipated , because Fabian and I had both had it. And I just assumed she'd get sick just in time for Eastynn's arrival. Taylor has been very sensitive and her nose is a little runny. I hope I'm wrong though.

Two More Weeks

Today I had another doctors appointment. Everything looks good. I told doctor Clugston that I have been having severe pain in my groin, he said the baby's head is really low down sitting on my ligament in my groin. He also said that the baby could come at any time now. Which makes me very happy.
Next dr appointment is on Thursday of next week and hopefully that will be the last one actually hopefully this was our last one.

Chris Hatter Memorial Dart Tournament

Well this weekend two years ago is when Fabian and I started dating. So we celebrate it ever year at the Chris Hatter. Its nice because it involves two of my greatest passions my husband and darts.
Friday was the blind draw and neither of us made it out of our section. I definitely should have I had a good partner who I've played with before and that I'm comfortable playing with. Unfortunately Fabian got drawn with someone of a low caliber not something you want in one of you first big tournaments.
Saturday I played ladies singles in the morning and came in second in my section and got knocked out the first round to a Medicine Hat player which is fine by me cause I think I played well. At least I played as well as can be expected considering I'm very close to my due date. Ladies Doubles I played with Becky we played well together, we get better and better all the time.
Fabian played with, as I like to call him, Tiny Tim in the men's doubles. And they didn't make there section which is ok because it is a tough accomplishment just to make your section when it comes to the men's. In the afternoon he played men's singles. And got out of his section and as I just stated that can be a very hard accomplishment. But his first draw was Gerry Convery, who I believe is number one in Canada if not number 2. Gerry goes to England a lot to play. So Fabian got beat by the best and Gerry came out with the overall win. I was very proud of how well he played.
I'm just heading out to play mixed doubles. I'll let you all know how I did later.

37 Week Doctors Appointment

Well I should technically only have 3 more visits after today. We went to the doctor today the wait was quite awhile usually with Doctor Prince its maybe a 10 minute wait today it was at least 20 minutes. But once he came the visit went very well. He said that she has a very healthy heartbeat of 155 beats per minute. She is not to big and not to small she is going to be a very average size baby at the rate she is growing now. I also got a form where I suppose to keep track of fetal movements. They say you should have 10 in two hours which makes me laugh cause she probably could take care of that within 5 minutes. I do have a cold but the doctor said I could take some cough drops and use vicks vapo rub or a vicks inhaler.
That's all the news for this visit. My next visit is on Wednesday.

Christmas Shopping

This is absolutely crazy. It November 13 and we have got over half of our Christmas shopping done already. We have got both dads gifts Jason's gift and both the girls. It was really hard to buy for Eastynn considering she isn't even here yet. And we got Taylor some pretty cool gifts that I had to leave at my mom's I don't trust myself not to give them to her before Christmas. It will be nice to get the rest done I can't wait. We are hoping to have all the Christmas shopping done before Eastynn's arrival. And it looking good.
On another note we are already for Eastynn to show up the bags are packed and good to go. I was ready for her to come but I would like her to hold off till at least Nov 26 now. Cause this weekend coming up is the Chris Hatter Memorial Tournament and also our anniversary we started dating two years ago on the Chris Hatter weekend so we don't actually know the date but we use this weekend to celebrate. The following weekend of the 25 I have to play darts one more time to determine my seed for provincial's. If I come in first that day and Tracey comes in second there will be a play off, so as it stands right now me and Tracey are fighting to get the top seed out of Medicine Hat.
Finally Taylor, what can you say about that one. She has got the most unique personality. She makes me laugh everyday she also frustrates me everyday. She is getting so smart I can't believe what she says and does some days and I just sit back and try and figure out where she learns some of the things she does. We got her some new winter boots and some new shoes both Dora of course. They have lights on the bottom and she loves that. That's all I have for the time being.

Busy Week Appointments And Darts

Today we had another doctors appointment they are weekly now. Everything is very good with the baby. Although I wish she'd hurry up and make an entrance into the world, I know its only a month more but I'm at the end of my rope with being pregnant.
I honestly don't get those women who love being pregnant sure its got a few perks but I could go with out them. I like the fact that people will always give me a chair but that doesn't make up for the back pain. The kicking is really neat, a vouple of times a day and if the baby stays off the bladder and out of the ribs. Anyway enough about that.
It is techinically 29 days till Eastynn is to arrive and I can't wait. My back is so sore and the darts that I have been playing lately have been affected by my back aches and I have the Chris Hatter Memorial coming up on the 17, 18, an 19th of this month. Which is also the weekend me and Fabian started dating 2 years ago, so it will be a pretty special weekend, my mom took the weekend off so we could have a good weekend without kids for the most part anyway. And the following weekend I'm suppose to play zones, zones takes 3 days you have to play 2 of the three days or you don't qualify to play for provincials. I played both days this weekend just in case something is to happen before the 25th. On the Saturday I finished third, my back was really sore but my wonderful husband gave me a great massage on Saturday night and I felt a lot better on Sunday, on Sunday I finsihed first.
On Wednesday Fabian made a trip up to Edmonton for some training for work. So Taylor and I were on our own from Wednesday till Friday. It was a pretty lonely 3 days. But Taylor was a good girl and I was still able to communicate with Fabian through text. And I did manage to get some good and needed sleep having the bed to myself and all. Fabian also had an appointment for his ankle today and they are going to see what they can do on Decemeber 11th. They may drain any fluid or inject it with something I would imagine it would be cortisone.
And finally Taylor not much new with her she needs a haircut and we may do that tomorrow. We are going to try and potty train before Eastynn's arrival I asked the doctor today and he said it would probably be a good idea to start over again now instead of later, although I need some motivation and energy for that one. And it seems like she is getting more of a sense of humor. She cracks us up everyday. For example she's been doing this thing where she sticks out her but and will back into me and giggle hysterically.
Also I'd like to send my condolences out to Stephanie Williams, her boyfriend Ross Becker, her daughter Ravyn, Her brother Jonathan, and his girlfriend Jennifer. I'm so sorry about the loss of you mother Stephanie. We love you.
