Photo happy mommy!

Wow, I don't even know where to start! Ok, I am thinking!

First things first: September 10 2005 Rob and I didn't get married. Before you go and assume the worst, DON'T!!!!! We are still together, and very much in love! It has just been POSTPONED til next year due to some financial difficulties and because....

WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER BABY!

Yes that is right folks, we are doing it again! yes so soon, I know, but Anniyia asked for one for her birthday.... so here goes nothing! hahaha! It was much surprise.. I was in the ER for major pains in my chest (turns out I have gallstones and my gallbladder needs to come OUT!) and the doctor told me I had a positive pregnancy test. There aren't words to describe my shock! But Rob and I are excited, and hoping for a boy as this is it for us. Rob will be FIXED in April after the baby is born! ( I won't lie, I wasn't very happy about this whole business when I found out, in fact I did some crying. I was angry and upset. I wasn't emotionally ready to take on another child. I was thinking about me, and not wanting to give up the little bit of freedom I had gained since having Anniyia! It was hard, but Rob and I got through it, and now I am as just as excited as I was for Anniyia. There is one plus this round.. the morning sickness hasn't been nealry as bad.. so maybe it will go a little better!)

Speaking of Anniyia, who is almost 4 months old, and growing like a weed! She is very interested in EVERYTHING! Especially food, she stares at it with this need to eat it... desperately! Soon baby girl, soon enough! She loves nursery rhymes and songs! The hokey pokey is her favourite right now! (maybe cause I look so silly doing it....) She loves to swim.. in the tub and water! She starts swimming lessons in October! I am so excited for her.... just me and her, off to the pool! She tries to sit up on her own, it is so cute to see her, pulling her head forward.... "if I could just get a little further..." She loves to stand, with help of course, but sitting jsut isn't always good enough! She likes to dance! if she is on her belly, her little arms and legs go crazy trying to crawl, but her belly doesn't make it off the ground! She wants to get up and go so badly... once she does, there will be NO stopping her! She is getting very creative and likes to paint. ( I know... how can a 3 month old like to paint? Well she does, she loves the cool feeling on her hands and toes!) This is a picture of her painting!

She loves being outside, the grass, the birds, the trees, everything. I watch her in awe, I'm jealous of her innocence to everything. She is amazed by everything. I love watching her learn. She gets so happy when she does something and mad when she can't. She is quite the little thing already! I didn't realize they did things so quick!

What else..... I went back to work last week! I need to put my hours back in to get maternity leave! I work 3 days a week, (18 hours) It isn't too bad... I just can't stand some of my co-workers, but that is normal. It is nice to be a working mom. I don't like leaving her, but she doesn't seem to mind, she loves her grandparents, who usually watch her... and I get to socialize with people who can actually talk back!

The townehouse rocks, I don't know if I wrote about it... but I love it! The space is AMAZING! And Rob's sister lives with us, so Anniyia is close with her.

I, yes, I have spoken to my own sister, a few times in fact, we have even had tea! It is hard and akward for me, but I am trying. I don't agree with the choices she is making, nor the boy she is chosing to date, but it is her life. She figure things out eventually!

I was really happy to hear about B.S. having a baby boy, and that all was well. I hate her though for having a c-section... push it out like the rest of us! lol. But Congrats all the same! Being a mom is the most amazing feeling... and I understood her desire for it.

Well I think that is about it! I don't get out much, I would rather stay with Anniyia, or play outside with her. We are getting cable again... I am excited! Grey's Antomy starts on Sunday and I can hardly wait!






Hope all is well with you and yours... lots of love

The library... is fun... lol.... but I needed to check my e-mail so, I had to go somewhere! We moved a couple weekends ago...... I love our new place... a nice BIG townehouse! Rob's sister Shelby moved in with us too! Anniyia is getting so big, and she gets a needle on Monday, that won't be fun! but this damn computer is going to kick me off... again.... I think Courtney is a funny girl! CAK FACE!!! I'll write more soon. xoxoxox

A big sister..... again!

WELCOME MEGAN ELIZABETH!!!!

Today my parents welcomed my newest sibling into the world at 9:20 am! She weighed 6pounds 4 ounces and was 19 inches long! She has a FULL, and I mean FULL head of hair. Twice as much as Anniyia! She is beautiful, looks a lot like Cody.

Yes for those who are scratching their heads..... Anniyia is 3 weeks older then her Aunt. What can I say.. my family is weird! But there are benefits.... both Anniyia and Megan always have some their age to play with! And there are 2 of them... so they don't need to put up with any of Cody's crap.. lol... cause they can kick his ass... haha

Congrats Dad and Ruthie! xoxoxoxox

They tell you it hurts.....

I'M A MOMMY!!!!

Yes folks I did it! Anniyia Marie Scott came into this world on June 9th at 6:24pm. She is beautiful! (and no I am not just saying that because she is mine!) They tell you it hurts, but they don't tell you just how AWFUL it is! I am SLOWLY forgetting just how bad it hurt. But for a few days, I could have been the spokesperson for abstinence!

My water broke Wednesday morning at 5:30! I had been having contractions for almost 3 weeks before that! So Rob and I went up to the hospital (for the 3rd time) and they told me that I hadn't dilated and I could go home till 10pm that night. So off we went. The contractions came, and they came hard... I was SCREAMING in pain and crying! Then finally at 9pm I couldn't take it anymore, back we went to the hospital. I prayed I had dilated. I had a shaky resident check me, who said I was 2 cm. Good I thought I am on my way! They admitted me and gave me a bed and a gown to wear. I stayed in triage till 6am the next morning. Rob got some sleep on the FLOOR! He can sleep anywhere! I tried very hard to sleep, but it hurt like hell. I got a shot of demerol (in my bum I might add!) but it didn't do much but make me loopy... Rob says I was quite funny! Finally the next morning at 6am I got my own room. Rob got a bed to sleep on. (well... Bed might be stretching it, more a window nook) I was checked again, this time by a nurse who didn't remind me a 16year old boy hitting 3rd base for the first time, and I was only barely 1cm. So the resident needed to learn how to count! Because my water had been broken for over 24 hours I needed to be induced to prevent infection on the baby. So in went the IV. It wasn't bad. I had a really nice nurse, actually they all were really nice. One never left my side. I felt quite special, famous almost. They started me on the drugs, synocin or whatever it was called. Boy did the contraction ever get worse. My advice.... DO NOT get induced! OUCH!! By 1pm I was still only 1cm. I was getting frustrated and exhausted due to lack of sleep... And food (you can't eat) At 2pm I got my epidural... It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and the doctor was super nice. Having numb legs is an odd feeling. Plus you get a catheter, not fun. I could feel mine move everytime I had a contraction, and no amount of drugs could make that stop hurting! FINALLY by 5pm I was 10cm! Yes I had done it! But the pressure was so awful. Think: need to take the biggest crap of your life and you can feel it RIGHT there, but DON'T push! AWFUL! I pushed anyways, my body sort of did it on it's own. By this time I was pissed off at the world and GRUMPY! I was swearing and yelling. They could hear me down the other end of the ward! They kept telling me to BREATHE.... My response: THE BREATHING DOESN'T FUCKING WORK! The baby was too high for me to start pushing, and I could push her down the canal, but I was too tired and the nurse wanted to conserve my energy, so we waited till the baby came down on her own. 6pm: still no baby. Rob went for dinner.... 5 minutes later, baby was down. "Sara DO NOT push or Rob will miss it" Please all nurses out there, do NOT tell a contracting woman not to push, it is DAMN near impossible. So the nurses are paging Rob, BACK TO DELIVERY PLEASE, and I am lying there, feet in stirrups, trying not to push, counting the seconds. He gets back to the room and her head is almost out, 2 pushes later and we have a baby girl! (I edited out the nasty parts of that.) At 6:24pm Anniyia Marie Scott came into the world... With a FULL head of hair! 7pounds, 11 ounces, 21 inches long! It was the most amazing feeling when they handed her to me. I can't even describe it, you are there and BAM you have a baby, makes me tear up a bit!

So they cleaned me up and her, and then left us, me, Rob and Anniyia to get to know each other. At around 8:30 a nurse came in to check on us, and bath her. Rob gave her the first bath of her life! They gave her a comb-over! haha The night seemed long, she would cry, and I would get up... With new found energy for the tiny being that is mine. She was beautiful, and I was in love. Suddenly I was looking at Rob in a whole new light, the hatred I had during labor was gone and I had fallen even more in love with him everytime I looked at her, or him with her. We had a few late night visitors, (my sister Kaylee, Ruth and Cody, and my cousins Amie and Trena. His family had gone home thinking they couldn't get in because visiting hours were over) then we were on our own.

We made it threw the night, just the 3 of us. The nurses were impressed with me, up and walking 2 hours after I had her. It pays to have babies young.... your body is stronger. I hurt like hell "down there" but I wanted to go home. At 9am I showered and was ready to go. Dad came to visit around 9:30, and called her "his little angel" (his own new baby, my new sister, is due on the 26th!) Finally at 12:30 the doctor came and told us what we already knew.... our beautiful baby was perfect and we could go home. Hospital food isn't that bad when you are hungry! But the shower water pressure sucked!

We left, baby in tote and surprised his dad and sister at work. His mom met us at home. We all agreed on one thing: She was perfect! She has been here 15 days and I can't remember her not being here. She is an awesome baby. Sleeps lots and doesn't cry much. She is a perfect combo of both Rob and I, with the cutest chubby cheeks I have ever seen! I love being a mom, I wouldn't trade it for the world. My fairytale has come true. I have my baby, and my husband comes in September. Am I happy? Couldn't be happier!

Was the pain worth it? You look at her and tell me! Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. Did I forget the pain.... NEVER! haha

I miss you all! Keep in touch! E-mail me your address and I will mail you pictures of my little princess!

Days pass me by just like moments

Sorry I haven't written in so long.

Rob and I got our own place and we don't have a computer yet. Living on our own has been fun. We have had some challenges.... ants, crazy neighbours among other things but we are enjoying it over-all. It's a 2 bedroom apartment and next weekend we are painting the nursery. It's starting to look homey, that stuff takes time.. and money and we are working with both.

I am doing well. I feel the size of a house, and the baby, she is good too! She moves around ALL the time! I miss sleeping comfortably and for more then a couple hours at a time before needing to pee yet again! But I guess this is just a lead in to not sleeping for a few years. I can't wait for her to get here. I am due in 11 weeks, but I hope she is a couple weeks early, cause she is gonna be HUGE! haha I go on Maternity leave soon, 7 or 8 weeks left, and I can't wait! I have been taking pre-natal aerobics on Tuesday nights, I love them!

Rob and I need to get a move on and start REALLY planning our wedding. It is just hard finding the time to do it. It was our one year anniversary yesterday. We didn't do much to celebrate, but we will eventually...... haha

Well I don't have time to write much more, sorry. I will write again soon

the little things fall into place

Just when I am not sure that anything is going to go right, things start to change.

• Rob gots that job with the Catholic School Board that he really wanted.
• We have a great chance with an apartment, that we should hear back from in the next couple days.... keep your fingers crossed on that
• Work is going good, my hours keep changing, but I still like my job. Plus I get to leave it 3 months for a whole year, and get paid!
• Our beautiful baby girl is healthy and moving around like crazy. Just when I can't stand being pregnant and the puking has become too much and I want to die or cry cause my head hurts so bad, she moves around and then for some reason it all seems worth it.
• I start my pre-natal fitness class tomorrow night at 6:45... so far there is only 2 people in my class, but I'm excited. I'll get all in shape and become one hot mom.. haha Rob calls me a MILF..... then I laugh at him.

It helps to have good things going on, because with all the crap and stress that you realize you have, while your pregnant it intensifies. I think the huge hint is everything makes you cry.... I need the good things. Things with Kaylee, and unfortunately my mother haven't gotten any better, but I am not sure what else to do with either situation, so I am trying not to worry about either. Kaylee came into work the other day and well, was herself, excpet the owner, the big fish was standing behind me, oh how I wanted to ring her neck. She has such an attitude, and this thought in her head that the world owes her something and she owes them nothing. I want to poke her with a sharp stick... in the eye.

Everyday Rob makes me smile and surprises me with how much he loves me. I keep him up half the night with itchy skin, and a sore stomach and I can't get comfy, and this and that, he might get frustrated with me, but he just helps me get comfy and soothes me until I can finally fall alseep. Or during the day when I have a headache and I whine (really bad trust me!) he just takes care of me, and puts me to bed for nap and gets me water and medicine and whatever else I may call out for. No matter how gross I look, or how much sleep he isn't getting he just tells me he loves me and that I am beautiful. That the little (very ugly and gross) stretch mark I have doesn't make me any less beautiful, that nothing would change that. I fall more in love with him everyday. He is so patient and sweet, he is gonna be such a great dad. He is the greatest guy I have ever met. I just look into his eyes at night when he has been up an extra 3 hours because of me, and I just feel.... I can't even explain it. It is so many things, so many emotions, I guess that is what love is. It's funny how much your life can change in a year.

Well my darlings I'm going to go, laundry calls.... good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite, unless he is cute... then make sure he just nibbles.....
