YouTube link and update

I will be 35 weeks Friday the 28th.  The 28th is also a full moon and I've had spells of contractions when the weather changes so I'm hoping the moon will throw me into labor (not likely though). If I make it to 37 weeks I'm gonna start begging for a c section (he's still breech) and my doctor says that's reasonable.  I will be 37 weeks on january 11th!  I didn't belive it was possible to stay 4cm 100% effaced for 5 weeks.  Technically I'm almost half way through labor and been like this for a long time.  I guess anything is possible.  He's measuring 5lbs 14oz so he's a big baby! I've been posting a lot of videos on youtube!  Here's the link go check it out!

Update on baby

Yep Gabe is still breech with a huge pocket of water between him and my cervix.   Hes a big boy weighing over 5lbs... hes also long and chunky.   Nothing has changed... I'm still here and will be for what looks like a while... I hope he comes soon...

Its been forever

Its been forever since I've been outside... November 23rd to be exact.  I miss the trees and I miss home.  I never thought I could call a place home since we moved out of our first apartment at Mallards of Wedgewood.  I loved it there... it was beautiful and very cozy.  I was always determined to eventually go back, one day hopefully I will.  We now live in a small (tiny) 2 bedroom house with a huge front yard.  The back yard is just as large possibly bigger and its fenced in.  We have very oddly shaped rooms but its cozy.  Our bedroom and nursery is shared although there is an extra room... that room already has plans.  
The weekend before I was sentenced to bed rest torture my husband had rearranged the house.  We moved our living room into the dining room so we could clear out the extra room.  That room initially was going to be the nursery, although plans always change.  We will be getting the kids back and our former living room will be their bed room.   I look at this time in my life as a transition.   I will be stuck in this hospital probably until Gabriel is born.  Then I will go home and be a mommy... for a long while.   Its going to be a change going from no kids to 3.  But in all honesty I enjoyed taking care of the kids last year... the financial burden was too much though and now I feel as if we are a little more stable. 

My husband isn't as convinced but I just feel it.  I will no longer be working at all.  2 kids and a baby won't allow for that.   Although I am going to try my best to fulfill my lifelong calling...  I have always wanted to be a stay at home mom,  a house wife.  No occupation has ever interested me enough to actively pursue.  Yes I am a CNA but that was only for conveniencey.  Now that I will be a stay at home mom I want to pursue my love, writing.  I want to be a writer not because of money or fame.  The reason is that I believe there is power in words and I believe it becomes magical when someone can harness that power for others enjoyment.   That is my plan.  Next step... get my laptop fixed so I can write and research and improve my skills.

Back in the hospital

<p>Early sat morning I started having contractions again and went back to the hospital.&nbsp; They checked me and I'm still only 4 com dilated but 100% effaced. (Never said 100% only said there wasn't a cervix left)&nbsp; I got admitted and they stuck me back on magnesium and they started an antibiotic.&nbsp; Gabe is still breech.&nbsp; I'm back on strict bed rest although they got me up yesterday and I got to wash up a little.&nbsp;&nbsp; They also put a thicker pad on the bed and they turned the magnesium down.&nbsp;&nbsp; They also let me eat, I've been on clear liquids since I got here. Only 3 contractions last night and they took Gabe off the monitor but checked him every 2 hours...  now I'm waiting on the doctor to see if I can eat breakfast or if they want me to stay on clears longer.

They say if I go into labor than they have done as much as they can to prevent complications so its still just a waiting game.

I went in for a routine ultrasound ...

Now I'm on bed rest in the hospital... I will be 30 weeks Friday. My u/s tech said my cervix was weekened and they wanted me to see the doctor...  I walked back to see the doctor and she said: "I spoke with Dr. D she's on call at the hospital you need to go to labor and delivery now... do not stop anywhere go straight there..." so we headed to the hospital... Dr. D came in quick to examine me and I am 4 cm dialated and about 50% effaced (I think that's how you spell it).  So they admitted me and I'm on bed rest...  they gave me a shot of steroids and magnesium sulfate... the steroids to help Gabe's lungs develop faster and the magnesium sulfate to relax my uterus...   I'm not having contractions and I'm not in pain... my back has been hurting recently but I was sick and thought it was just sore muscles... that's about it... I just hope he stays in there longer.

Update:
The doctor checked me this afternoon after I had my 2nd steroid shot said I was still at 4 cm and that I could go home on a modified bed rest.  So I can get up to go to the bathroom and fridge and I can be on a couch but that's it... I can go to my baby shower which I'm excited about but I can't really participate.

I can't believe out of the hours I've researched labor I totally missed the warning signs...  I had lost my mucous plug Monday I think, I had also had sever back pains... and the diarrhea.  I totally missed it...  I had gotten sick Sunday with a really bad sore throat and I felt stuffy.  Monday I felt worse and that's when(I think) I had went into labor, all my muscles ached and my back hurt so bad I pulled out the heating pad (which I never do) and that was the only way I could get comfortable ...  I just thought I had the flu then Tuesday I felt a lot better there were still back pains but I just thought I was still getting over a 24hr flu (that kinda tipped me off that the next day I felt so much better but I didn't put much thought in it at all.)  I'm kicking myself now for not seeing it!

I have not forgotten you

Nope I'm still here... meaning to post lots of things shortly...  not the time now as its a bit past 7 and I am suffering from insomnia.   The baby won't be still...  I will post later.... just don't give up on me....

Yay! happy news

My husband finally got a smartphone.  We were finally able to afford 1 this week so I got him a straight Talk from Walmart.  Of course its a Samsung because we love samsung's.   I got his Facebook page back up,  his email address backup and all of his stuff organized so that he can access his multiple online accounts. 

So my doctors appointment went well I have to go back on the 11th to have more anatomy measurements done.  And they confirmed that he is definitely a boy.  He just wasn't sitting in the right spot and the tech couldn't get a proper picture of him.  But I don't mind going back.  They also said he's much bigger than what he is supposed to be but that's okay.  He's measuring about 2 weeks ahead of schedule.

I need to get this house clean and organized.  I have a lot of coupons to clip and organize as well.  But at least all the bills are paid for this month including rent, car insurance, utilities, and the loan that I claim is the biggest mistake of my financial mess ups.

Me and Gina are going to hangout for little bit tonight I'm really excited I haven't got to spend a lot of time with her recently.  Although I do have a headache and I'm kind of tired. 

Let me try to find an interesting picture that you guys might enjoy

Blue Hair and cream puffs

Yes I have blue hair. Well the front of it anyway.   I love it. But the color is still off.  I'm thinking about doing more of a turquoise over it just to pull some of the green out.  It was really fun to do but now my bathtub is blue.  Not to mention it was bright bright blue and after about 2 washes has turned to this greenish light blue. 
I have a doctor's appointment in the morning.  It's just to see about Gabe and if he's growing properly I'm sure he is.  Been kicking pretty hard now and I'm only halfway through my pregnancy. See right now he's doing flips so yeah... that's always fun.
I was wondering if Gabe is allergic to strawberries and I eat a strawberry will he be okay?   Well I don't know if he's allergic to any of that like strawberries or anything but I was just hoping if I accidentally do eat something he's allergic to it's not going to kill him or anything. 
I really do love the cream puffs at Chinese restaurants they're in the desert section I want 1 so bad. 
Another 1 of my favorite things especially for Fall is warm apple cider with a little bit of cinnamon in it.   And I just discovered this new website called pinterest you all can follow me on it...  I think it's linked to my facebook account and you can find my Facebook page by searching my email address skyfreak2007@yahoo.com.... I hope you can find me that way you should be able to.
Alright enough rambling for tonight I need to go to bed cuz I have a doctor's appointment good night everyone!

Hello

So hello world of blogging.  My name is Lacey ... and this is my place for ramblings... I will be random, unorganized and a few times you may feel the need to have me commited but just hold tight everything will work itself out.  I can't spell so forgive the typos and don't judge my grammar I am still working on perfecting my flow of the english language.  I aspire to one day become a writer but that will take time. So in the mean time sit back relax and enjoy what little excitement I have to offer.
