Leigha was born 01/07/10 at 10:10 pm...That day at about 11 am I was shopping at Walmart for my job...and i started to feel some pains....i thought okay...maybe its just cause i'm walking around WALMART at 37 almost 38 weeks....lets see if i still feel it later....fast forward to 3:30 I'm on a bus run for work...and I am still feeling pains...so i call my drs office and get some lady i don't know asking me if they are every 15 min apart, and if so then to go to the hospital and the nurses will monitor me and call the dr...i told the lady several times, that I don't know if they are even CONTRACTIONS and I'm a SCHEDULED C SECTION and I just want to know if MY dr is the one on call......SEVERAL times i told her this and she REPEATED herself and the whole 15 min and all that jazz....so i said to her....SO your telling me that you aren't going to tell my dr/drs nurse i called and IF they are every 15 min THEN i need to do something about it...and then I think i hung up...don't remember if she gave me a response.....about 10-15 min later...my dr, HIMSELF calls and says..."soooo...whats going on?" and makes it all better....tells me to go to the hospital and they'll call him once they've evaluated me...so that was around 4-4:15..I figure it's false contractions, and i'll finish work (off at 6:30pm) and get Maile to her aunt/uncle's house and have seth meet me at home so we can go to the hospital together..
We get there around 7:30pm they hook me up and I am having contractions, they are about every 5 min apart....so they try to give me some fluids cause i think i might be dehydrated....that slows them down to 10 min....so they call the doctor and he says it's time, we'll go ahead with the c section. He is there within 30 min and we are getting prepped and ready and in the OR by like 9:45 and Leigha was born at 10:10. Amazing how FAST everything happened...Maile was a Scheduled C Section so we had time to prepare and I had a nice shower before..had my hair and makeup ready for my after pictures....I was so exhausted after Leigha was born I think I might have cat napped while they were closing me back up!! (They said that was alright...i was a little nervous that something was wrong with me, but they said that it was normal) Since she was a little thing they did take her to the Nursery to get her cleaned up and checked and poked and prodded and all that good stuff.....but within a little bit they brought her to my room and she has never left our side since!!

soooo....some exciting news!!!
We are expecting our 2nd baby girl!!! She should be here around Jan 22.
Still thinking of names...so any suggestions send them our way!
when i'm not in the in between chubby and preggers stage i'll post belly pics...especially since there have been some on facebook begging for them...hint taken TT.
So think of a name that goes with Maile. We have one....but it hasn't been a hit when we've thrown it out there.

Maile turns two!
Maile is now two...and potty training.
So far she'll go once or twice a day..especially at school...however at home she's a little more shy.
She has Elmo goes potty, and when she watches this she'll go in her potty. When Daddy and i aren't around. She'll come running out and tell us.."potty?" like she thinks she did something. Or she'll say "i pee pee pottyd"
Her 2nd birthday party was very low key...pizza and cake at home and cupcakes at school. Her favorite part were the cupcakes. She kept seeing them and saying "MY upcakes".
Someday soon i'll add more pics!!

Maile the China Doll
This picture is for my Uncle Randy and Aunty Cathy.....they went to San Francisco in 2007 and brought this outfit back for Maile. I wore one similar to there wedding, when I was about the same age as Maile.
I finally uploaded it to the computer so i could upload it here. sorry....
THANK YOU to Uncle Randy and Aunty Cathy!!!!!!!!
so.....we're still here
i really would like to update this more often....yet.....we've just been so busy trying to get better....and ok i've been a little lazy too. With trying to get maile better i'd rather use my time to SLEEP...or read or relax in a nice hot BATH!
so here's the update....almost two weeks ago Maile was acting kinda funny. She would lay her head down on your shoulder or put her ear to her shoulder, or put her hand to her ear. So i thought , another ear infection. She had been doing it for a few days, started friday and continued through sunday. So monday I made an appt with the dr. We came in and they said we'll take a rsv swab, i guess its that time of the year? and we'll wait on those results, then the dr comes in and checks her says that she does have redness and irritation in her ear, so we'll do a antibiotic...ok...then the nurse comes in and says that the rsv test was positive....NO WAY. All of her other appts, they've tested her and tested her and they have ALWAYS been negative. But Luckily we caught it way early...she had just started to have a fever and was going down hill fast from there. So with that diagnosis, Maile had to stay home from school ALL week. And so did mommy. Other than the 1/2 day her tutu watched her, and daddy's wednesday off.
What a FUN time that was. Maile was pretty good, other than being clingy, and a little whiny. But I felt sooooo....bad for her. She had a temp of 101, with alternating motrin and tylenol, her fever would sit at around 99. For almost 3 days this is how we lived..maile wearing only a diaper. And when her fever scared the crap out of me...102 with motrin and wearing only a diaper... I threw her in the bathtub full of lukewarm water and she played with her bath toys and it DRAMATICALLY brought her fever down and she was my happy baby girl again!!
By Sunday she was definately on the road to recovery and on monday she was back at school!! Yea!!! Her teachers said they missed her, the life of the party was definately missed. Maile has them all wrapped around her little finger. Can't blame'um though, she definately rulles the roost around here.
