Text of the page (random words):
roll e pidural fun the anesthesiologist came in around 5 25 and i was feeling much better by 5 50 i slept after that and hardly noticed when the doctor came in around 7 she checked and i was a five she also told the nurses not me that my water hadn t completely broken and helpfully broke it for me cue the expectant gush then she left not so much as a hey how are you i slept on and off until around 10 when the nurses started asking if i was feeling any pressure this concerned me as i was definitely not feeling pressure or much of anything the only other time an epidural had been so effective was with my first when i couldn t even tell when or how to push so then i became worried that when the time came i wouldn t know when to push so i asked if they could turn down the epidural they called in the day shift anesthesiologist and explained how the night guy always gives the ladies an 18 when standard is 15 so the guy turned it down to 14 after a bit i asked if they could turn it down again as i was concerned i still couldn t feel anything man was that a bad idea he came and turned it down to 11 after that i could feel stuff it sucked i also wasn t mentally prepared to be suddenly thrown back in to feeling contractions generally speaking i can push through them by concentrating on breathing in and out screaming and causing a fuss makes them worse this time i wasn t ready i tried breathing but instead was crying i started throwing up again much to the nurses dismay i was a at a 10 for 30 min or more before the doctor came in and they were worried that puking would make me push the baby out meanwhile i keep telling everyone how dumb it was to turn the epidural down looking for affirmation i think but no one would vocally agree with me and can we turn it back up again the nurse said since it takes 20 min to change it probably wouldn t help as i should be delivering soon but she did push the emergency boost button that would temporarily give me a boost of medicine to numb things finally the doctor came in and with no sympathy to my tears and explanation of epidurals told me to just get the baby out and i wouldn t have to hurt anymore she seemed rather annoyed at me who with my seventh baby should be an experienced veteran at this point and told me to grab my legs and push i said i wasn t ready but she cut me off and repeated her instructions so i did and two and a half pushes later out comes baby elizabeth the doctor cleans me up pats my leg and goes on her way i don t think she was in the room for more than five minutes the entire time i was there so the baby was born at 11 14 am approximately 28 hours after my water had broken the baby nursed right away which was nice but my epidural adventures had made it so i was still numb hours after she was born they had to insert a catheter to empty my bladder and were very impressed with how full it was um thanks eventually they kind of shuffle rolled me to another bed and wheeled me to recovery the day nurse and then the night nurse all had to help me to the restroom as my left leg stayed totally numb and immovable until around 11 o clock that night consequently i did not get a shower or change into my pajamas i was finally able to brush my teeth which was a relief after all that vomiting yuck but didn t end up even opening my hospital bag for more than my toothbrush i didn t see the point of showering when i was leaving the next morning so i didn t there was nothing on tv and i couldn t get into anything on netflix so mostly i slept patrick stayed until around 8pm the first day and came with george and angelina to get me around 1pm the following day there were mix ups about what drugs i could take when i could be discharged whether or not the baby could be discharged i swear the doctor s didn t seem to talk to the nurses at all and nothing they said was reflected in my chart so everything i told the nurses they said i could do had to be double and triple checked by calling the doctor wherever she may be and getting it changed in my chart the one nice difference from the past were the meals they had a big menu and i got to pre select all of my food and beverages in the past no one has even asked what i wanted until shortly before i was discharged so that was a nice change our baby girl finally got one of the bow hats elizabeth was 8 lbs 3 oz so on the smaller side for our babies but very cute she has cute pudgy rolls at her shoulders and thighs that none of the other babies have had and sticky out ears like me poor thing she seems to spit up way more than the other babies and i wonder if she has a faulty stomach valve thing like babies can get i have an appt with her dr thursday and will ask then posted by kieraanne at 12 21 am 1 comments wednesday january 14 2015 no excuse mom nem 12 wk challenge so i had the baby she was 9 days late and induced there s a story behind that but i m not going into it now i really liked the different hospitals policies about delivery and baby care will not see or recommend my doctor to anyone even though she came highly recommended to me we named the baby angelina louise and she weighed 8 lbs 11 oz but that is not what this post is about this post is about weight loss total body makeover life changes etc i was excited with this pregnancy because not only did i only gain 25lbs instead of the usual 40 i also ended up entering the hospital to deliver weight nearly 10lbs lighter then any of my other babies except isabelle that entire pregnancy turned out to be an extreme aberration from my normal deal so i should end up at a lower rate too right wrong i lost about 23 lbs in the first four weeks without doing anything then thanksgiving and christmas happened and i gained 11 back usually the numbers keep dropping right but nope after week four thanksgiving week they started creeping back up again i m breastfeeding and started doing my chalean extreme workout again in december but none of that seems to matter this round as the pounds aren t budging at least not in the direction they should be i ve briefly considered that maybe there is something really wrong with me like a thyroid problem or something with my hypothalamus or something but probably not probably i just eat too much crap anyway so i ve been following maria kang on facebook ever since her what s your excuse pic of her in workout gear with her three kids started making the rounds unlike some i didn t think she was fat shaming and instead rather misunderstood by the media and rather had it right the only reason many of us are big is because we make up some excuse about why we re the exception and we aren t like them you know them the people who workout and eat right and talk about crossfit all the time and look like they could tear you apart with their bare hands if they needed to and then hike up a mountain afterwards well my excuse had often been having the kids so close together mine were months farther apart then hers were i knew this and found her inspirational anyway so recently she announced that she had written a book that would soon be published and any who pre ordered said book got links to free workouts recipes and were signed up for a 12 wk no more excuses challenge starting january 12th i ordered the book and started the challenge as part of this deal we have to make a fitness calendar where we chart our progress and workouts for the 12 wks we also track our eating habits and calories and shoot for a 30 30 30 10 balance of carbs proteins healthy fats other in our meals the goal is to eat 5 small meals a day do cardio at least 3x wk and also include her core training videos at least 3x or some other ab exercise actually i think the goal is just to exercise somehow doesn t matter what just do something 3x wk anyway so i had already been doing my chalean extreme which has three days of heavy lifting and two days of interval training along w abs on one day and yoga on the other the point being i wouldn t have to change what i was already doing in that area so i decided to do the challenge around this same time i happened upon a post titled 14 things you didn t know about celiac s disease you hear so much about gluten intolerance these days that i clicked on it out of curiosity one of the categories listed some non digestive symptoms including an itchy skin rash called dermatitus herpetiformus for those of you that know me you know i ve been struggling with an extremely itchy rash that appeared our of nowhere about 10 years ago after seeing several doctors including a dermatologist and an allergy specialist they generally agreed that i have excema the dermatologist seemed annoyed that i wanted her to fix it and explained that this is just something that you have and i should get used to it and treat flair ups as they occur the allergy specialist to whom i was referred to since excema is an allergic reaction by the dermatologist put me on allergy shots for five years would have gone longer but i quit and sometimes proclaimed that i didn t have dry skin like i should for excema and how i should see a dermatologist to take care of it anyway i had given up at this point i have a high dose steroid cream that i m to use as needed which really means every day because i have never in ten years not had a patch somewhere so this dermatitus herpetiformus sounded promising i looked it up it said that it typically appears in adults in their 20 s for the first time and is the skin manifestation of celiac s disease wheat intolerance i had some blood work done last year that was supposed to test for food allergies i think the test was crap for several reasons one of which being that it didn t actually test for food allergies just food reactions that said i had a very high reaction to wheat the doctor that went over my results with me is a chiropractor that has some ideas that seem a little off to me so i didn t pay this much mind but then the wheat thing came up again and i really really want my rash gone so i thought i d try it i haven t managed a day totally wheat free but i ve come pretty close and in just four days one of the worst patches is almost gone so i m combining the exploration of a wheat free diet with this 12 wk challenge yesterday i did pretty good i went over my calories but i didn t eat too much junk and i did my exercise today i ate pretty good food and did my zumba video for some cardio but i had a chocolate attack and ended up eating 1108 calories of crap symphony bar reese s donuts a marshmallow mint chocolate chips junior mints it wasn t pretty annoyingly enough if i had refrained from this indulgence i would have been 300 calories under my goal i just re read my posts from my attempt to give up sweets for lent and was reminded that i tend to grab sweets when i m hungry i think i m craving chocolate but really i just need to eat something so tomorrow my goal is to have healthy snacks ready to eat when i need them and not go too long between my mini meals today i was an hour past due for my first afternoon snack and i think that was the catalyst that started the chocolate frenzy so maybe i ll keep this blog updated for some kind of accountability and see how it goes posted by kieraanne at 1 01 am 3 comments thursday october 09 2014 16 days left my little counter in the sidebar says there are only 16 days left to go until baby gets here this week i finished up the last of the big projects i wanted to get done before baby came all of which i didn t really start until 36 wks first project paint the dining room i ve disliked the dark green of the dining room for a few years now but haven t been able to picture a better color to paint my inspiration came from watching under the dome where big jim renny s living room was painted a yellow based green my mind tends to lean towards blue based colors so this shade hadn t occurred to me one long weekend later and here are the results before circa 2009 after why yes i am on the top of a ladder at 36 weeks thanks for noticing mid way note the stark contrast in color although the new green really isn t as lime as it looks in this light there was also much drama surrounding what color to paint the inside of the bookshelves i wanted to do it the same as the trim then i accidentally did the slightly more beige hallway color instead since i didn t notice i was doing the wrong color at first and then couldn t find the extra trim paint and then when i did find it i had already put the stuff back on the shelves and didn t want to go back and re do it so right now it just looks slightly darker as if the yellow from before is showing through it s not that s just the paint color also some drama surrounding the curtains i had it in my head that i wanted to get new blue ones but after dragging my two littles around to various stores for three hours and coming home with curtains i still didn t like i decided the old ones looked just fine after all project two baby dresser i had been trying to think of where i was going to put the new baby clothes i didn t really want to buy another of those cheap plastic drawer sets from walmart like i did with george as i know i have more girl clothes then boys and the drawers were too deep to make digging through them practical then i remembered how patrick had once brought home a small ugly dresser from a garage sale that had since been parked on our back porch for a year or so the problem with it was the awfully garish shade of pink it was painted before in all of it s buried on the porch glory i thought i could fix it up and paint it green with pale pink drawers well the first attempt didn t turn out so well i used the lighter of the two shades of green used in the original dining room scheme see above and had planned to leave the drawer faces as is the problem was that once the dresser was painted the drawers looked kind of sad no matter how clean they were as they were still old and chipped and slightly stained in places i thought hey i painted the kitchen red a few years back and have left over white trim so i ll make my own pink the result looked like a bright garish watermelon theme from an overly colorful pre school note my pink was supposed to be subtle but instead looked like i had dumped pepto bismol on the drawers first attempt so after staring at it for a day or two i decided there was no way i could stand looking at it in my bedroom for the next four to six months and took another stab at it this time i used the more subtle newly purchased yellow tinted green from the dining room and mixed a whole lot more white into the pink for the drawers the result was much more to my liking after like i said it s a subtle difference but just enough that it won t clash with the wall in my bedroom in the past month i had also needed to hall out of the attic the bouncy seat cradle girl bumper pad and car seat well really the car seat wasn t in the attic as george just barely moved up to a toddler seat but still willia...
