Oh My Poop

OK... so everyone knows that with little boys that you will probably get peed on at some point, well yes this is true. Blake and I have both been "blessed" as some of my friends like to call it. But did anyone tell you about the poop? Let me just tell you a story...

I was going to change Cale's diaper because I smelled something. So I open the diaper and sure enough he had pooped, not a lot but poop is poop right. So I start cleaning him up and then all of the sudden he decided to start pooping again, well I am kinda stuck here because I was done cleaning him and was in the middle of putting a new diaper on him, so I grab a wipe and literally hold it under his butt and he is pooping in the wipe that I am holding. My child has now basically pooped in my hands, and yes my mom and Blake are in the room laughing hysterically. All I can do is hold this baby wipe and let him finish. Pretty funny huh?? Well there is more! So I clean his little butt and have the new diaper in my hand to put on him and what does he do??? He starts pooping AGAIN!! Come on kid how much poop do you have in you?? Where did all this come from and why do you wait until I have completely cleaned you up to start pooping again? So once again I am holding a baby wipe under his little butt as he poops AGAIN! And this was in my first week of parenthood! Oh man I can’t wait to see what the next few years have in store for me!

Finally Made His Arrival

Our life has certainly changed in the last week. Our little boy finally decided to make his arrival, and boy was I happy about that! Starting a week or so before my due date Blake and I started walking every day. Mainly because we wanted this little boy to come on time, and I had also heard that if you walk then it can make for an easier birth. So May 1st came and went and we had NO BABY! I had an amazing pregnancy and was never really uncomfortable until the last two days. Somebody told me that the saying is "Easy pregnancy, hard labor" OH NO..... Well my cute and adorable son decided that he would play a joke on me and take FOREVER to get here!! Soo here is the story...
So on Thursday afternoon (May 5th) my friend Leyla asked if I wanted to go to lunch so we went and ate at the bowling alley. Little did I know that this would be my last meal until Saturday afternoon! So after we ate we went to the commissary, and while we were at the commissary, I started having contractions. Leyla was pretty excited and I was like oh my gosh, my brother was right! I am going to have this baby on Cinco de Mayo. Well the contractions continued all afternoon, and around 5 that night we called labor and delivery and told them that my contractions were 3 to 5 minutes apart since about 3:30. They told me to go ahead and come in. This was it!! We were finally going to have this baby!! Cale was coming! So we get to the hospital and they start tracking me and yep I am in labor and my contractions are 4 minutes apart BUT I am only 1 1/2 cm dilated. CRAP.... so we were sent home and they told us to come back a little later if I am still having contractions, well around midnight we go back because my contractions are still happening and they are still 3 to 5 minutes apart. So when we get to the hospital, there is no change! :( so they gave me an ambien to sleep and we went back home again! So Friday we had already had an appointment for a stress test, so when we got to the stress test the doctor checked and I was 3 cm dilated and during the stress test I had contractions the whole time so they sent me up to labor and delivery. However at the hospital we go to, they won’t admit you until you are 4 cm dilated so we were told to walk, and that is what we did for an hour... WALKED!! We got back and YAY we are 4 cm dilated, got admitted and I was there or the next 18 1/2 hours in labor with this sweet little boy. He wanted to take his sweet time because he liked the pool! :)

FINALLY had Cale Mason Allen on May 7, 2011 at 7:54am (Germany time)
He weighed 8 lbs 12 oz and was 21 3/4 inches long

He is amazing; I can’t believe that he is here! But I love him and when they say that the love for your child is like no other, people are not lying! I am beyond blessed to have an amazing husband and an adorable son!!

The picture uploader isnt working, so I will upload pictures later! :) Promise... I have tons!

May 1st

Well it is officailly May 1st. Our due date, and no baby yet. Everyone knows that being a first time pregnant woman, that most likely you will go over your due date, and that is perfectly fine. However what the doctors and friends dont tell you is this... For the past 9 months you have looked forward to that ultimate due date! You create a countdown, get nervous as the day gets closer and are ready for that baby by that date. But then your due date is here and you are sitting in your house feeling the same way you have for the past couple of weeks and you have no baby! I am super excited about Cale being here, I just dont know when he will actually decide to make his arrival. I am hoping soon!! Blake and I have started our walking! :)
