Stubborn Kid!

Word of advise:

Men and any moms who were before their due date- Take your "Be Patient" and find a place to shove it

Moms- Do NOT tell me how over due you were with your first (it doesn't help get this kid out any quicker!)


(I promise I am not crazy to be around as much as it may sound)

No change since Saturday except the kid is now 2 cm bigger than last Thursday...What the! Stop child!


Last vent: Why does my pregnancy counter go back to more time till my due date?! It should be flashing "Stubborn Kid, Anxious Parents"

close call!

3 A.M. ... woke up to contractions
Awake with them until 5 A.M.
The whole time I freaked out about going to the hospital...NOT to be in labor or to be a mother

Freaked out because all I could think about was that I needed to clean the bathrooms still!
The only reason I didn't bleach the toilets at 3 A.M. was because I didn't want to wake up my baby daddy!

Then they decided to disappear and allowed me to scrub the bathroooms...whew! Now labor can begin...PLEASE!

MTV Cribs...Baby Style

The nursery is officially ready for this kid to come poop and scream in it...can't wait! Much credit to Grandma White who made all the bedding and accessories. And to my mom who helped the most indecisive pregnant chick make decisions. It has been pretty cool to do, but it feels good to have nothing left to do to it, even if I wanted to (I still don't like the white color blocks...I'm over it!)

Baby Shower #1- So Cal style

In November my bestie, Leslie, and my mom gave me an adorable shower to celebrate this little rascal that's about to come. It was awesome to see so much family and long time friends I never get to see. All my favorite things (egg bake, teal and fuscia) and nothing I hate (pastels and lame baby games)

Is this what the Doc ordered???

This is my version of bed rest
New Years Day in the Snow with the Wellman crew. Rozzi was a natural


A So Cal Christmas

We weren't sure if we were going to make it down this Christmas until the last minute. We had to get the doc's okay to go. As long as we drove the 99 (more hospitals) we were given the green light. Since I was on bed rest I didn't get to do a whole lot, but my mom became my official wheelchair chauffeur. We did manage to get some family excitement in, but most importantly..NO Christmas baby! (phewww!)

Some highlights of the awesomeness that took place:

My mom's tradition of candy trains with the grand kids
2nd annual Tomseth gingerbread contest

We won..again!
(we did a Tomseth family vacation theme)

Competition got a bit intense this year...Grandma and Grandpa did a straight castle! Too bad they were disqualified, I don't think lego men, hot glue guns and spray paint are edible. Quite a step up from last years Northridge earthquake gingerbread house

My nephew making me proud! Yes, he's smelling his dog's butt!

Bed Rest =...

Baby Shower #2

Tim's work gave us a baby shower. It was so funny to watch Tim at it. He didn't really know what to do or how long to look at each gift. Since it was his work I had him do all the unwrapping.
(Tim intently investigating what is in the Survival Kit)
They spoiled us with all kinds of useful things...one being 8 frozen dinners already prepared to be put in the oven! Awesome!
(Look at this adorable cake!)
They were so generous and we are so grateful for all the people he works with.

My mom is great!

The day after I got home from the hospital I was surprised by a wonderful delivery on my front porch!
My mom knows me so well...
*no pastels
*no baby's breath
*nothing frilly
*Gerber daisies are my favorite
*red is my favorite
*cherry candy canes on the side (I hate peppermint flavor)
*sleek vase

Guess that's what happens when she has a daughter who is ultra picky...or as I like to think of it, she knows what she wants.

Thanks Mom!

What a pregnancy!

Yesterday we experienced one of the scariest events imaginable with this pregnancy...Let me just recap about how adventurous this pregnancy has been from the beginning...

*This posting by no means is a complaint fest...simply a recap of the exciting events*

7 weeks- sent to the ER and then told we lost the baby, come to find out 3 days later the doctor told us everything was fine and baby was good (weirdest, longest 3 days ever!)

8 weeks to 28 weeks- Worst morning sickness imaginable. I became best friends with the toilet and worst enemies with the thought of having to eat


20 weeks- braxton hicks start ( I could handle that)

26 weeks- contractions start, right when I had a 3 week lapse in insurance (had to slow down on the exercising)

28 weeks- sent to hospital for increasing contractions (officially had to stop working out! ahhh!)

30 weeks-got the swine flu and in a small car accident that increased my contractions (all during Thanksgiving vacation)

31 weeks- hospitalized for contractions and swine (everyone needs to chill out on the whole swine thing)

32 weeks-At rountine appointment had a Non-stress test for increasing contractions. Given a shot of something during the test, next thing I knew I was in an ambulance, after going into basically cardiac arrest from the medicine. Had bad tremors and my speech turned to stuttering and slurring. After a LONG night at the hospital and monitoring the baby, I was released. Contractions got real bad in the hospital and we thought we were for sure coming home with a baby...thank goodness they slowed down after awhile. Still having bad stuttering and my body hurts from the tremors, but thank goodness we're doing okay now. Now on modified bed rest...I should be able to watch every movie I have ever heard of now and read everything I never had time for.

Needless to say, this pregnancy has been a wild one. Tim has already grounded to kid for putting "its" parent through this. Labor should be cake after all this...right???

After everything I still managed to get a 32 week picture in (actually 2 days late)

(The strips actually make my belly look smaller...didn't know that was possible)
