Baby #3 Wanna-Be Birth Story

So last night, I thought my water was leaking. Every time I turned over, I would feel a gush. Around 3am the contractions started. About every 7-10 minutes apart, and they starting getting more intense. around 5:30am I was tired enough to lie down and try to sleep. I finally got to sleep, with a few contractions waking me up. Got up at 7am with the Hubby and started packing the hospital bag. The catch? Contractions were gone. I would get a few tightenings here and there. But nothing compared to what I felt during the night. At 9am I got a big one and I wasn't surprised nothing else was happening. Both my other labours, I needed to sit and do nothing. Other wise I don't progress.  Then I called my doctors office about my water and was told I should go to the hospital right away. All my instincts were telling me not to go. But I had been bawling all morning, (Scrubbing bloody nose, blood off the walls and carpets. Tiredness. Frustration that nothing was happening. Horomones. Dirty house. No clean clothing.... you get it). I was so tired that I decided to go and just make sure nothing was wrong, getting rid of the kids was a bonus!!
On the way to the Hospital I starting having contractions again. Because I relaxed? Not sure. They put the monitor on me at Noon. There I lay for TWO hours (They were worried about babies heart rate for some reason), I had three hard contractions. To finally have the Dr come in and check me and say the test came back negitive. So she wanted me to go get food and walk around for two hours. We did as we were told. (Just FYI rocky view is a big hospital!!! Walking around the outside took more then I thought)!! I came back having felt nothing the whole time. The reason my Dr made me do that, was she was worried that my sack had torn. High enough that she wasn't getting evidence of it, so she was right on the line for inducing me. But didn't want to go that route unless needed. BOOOOooooo. just induce me.
So I got sent home. As soon as we left the hospital I had a couple more contractions. Also some spread out throughout the night. But thats it.
So thats part one of my baby adventure today. A wasted day at the hospital. But minor contractions and  a CLEAN HOUSE (thanks to my sister and bro in law) to show for it!!! Hopefully soon. Im going NUTTY!

Cam and I have told people more then once, "Carter is suspect Autism Spectrum Disorder". But after so many months of waiting, and having a specialist sit you down and say  "After observing you son, we firmly believe that he has Autism".   I now realize that I was not prepared to deal with the fact that Carter has Autisum.  I was, and still am, Devastated.  After the specialist told us of her conclusions she then asked , "Now after hearing that, how are you feeling? Are ok? Do you have questions? Can I help?" Honestly I thought I was fine. "We knew this was coming" I said. "I'm fine". Cams answer was the same. After she said "Yes, but sometimes having it confirmed makes it sink in, and you don't react how you thought you would". She was right. As soon as she said that I looked deeper and I knew I was ready to burst into tears. I wanted her out of my house and NOW. I knew Cam was dealing with his own feelings, so I h...

So i have been wanting to post all the projects i've been working on. But we are sick. Lovely flu. But the reason I am posting... Erica started rolling over yesterday! I could barley drag myself out of bed, but then i was greeted with this. She looks SO proud of herself when she does it too. Shes been trying since she was 2 months old. So I was wondering when she would get all the way. Shes 5 months in a week or so. She would only do it when you weren't looking. But now shes going crazy! She gets on her belly and tries to push with her feet. SO CUTE!!  She wont stay on her back anymore. Then when she rolls over she stares you down until you praise her. This is this morning. She is an old pro now.

What a HORRIBLE word. It is consuming. I wonder how many times that word runs through my head. I know at least once a day...... or twice.... or three or four or five..... ok ok 50! x 100.. anyways... On Saturday at work I helped this man. He didn't speak English well and I found him very frustrating. He thought it was $15 for EVERYTHING. Glasses, exam... everything.. He was suppose to go back in to see the doctor but walked out not realizing he wasn't done. (Were still talking about Fat hang in there). Last night he came back, and I avoided him like the plague. I could tell my co-worker was having a hard time with him too. Little did I realize why. Afterwards she told me that he was very confrontational and kept saying "Well the fat girl on Saturday said this". "But when I talked to the fat girl"......... over and over and over and over again. She asked me if I knew who helped him. Aren't I lucky? It was me. Nothing like hearing the thing you are mo...
