But with me needing a c-section it won’t really matter to much since I’ll be there probably for four days and then not really wanting to go anywhere.  And if I do <em>well</em>…I’ll have slaves. (looks innocent and smiles) I mean my mom will be there to help and Mike.  Here’s a picture of its color.  It was hard finding something that wasn’t brown and didn’t scream one sex or the other.  Last thing we need is for Keira to be mistaken as a boy at her age, since we lean towards blues and such by nature.  I just didn’t get to discover what any other new colors would be, totally found this one by accident.  But hey if there’s something better color wise out there we can always return it but this thing looks cool to me.  </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_JvP14FrwpwE/S1S1Ls3fzHI/AAAAAAAACBw/43jPMZy75bM/s1600-h/51gNID0mOcL._AA280_%5B1%5D%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="51gNID0mOcL._AA280_[1]" border="0" alt="51gNID0mOcL._AA280_[1]" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JvP14FrwpwE/S1S1L45Tt1I/AAAAAAAACB0/oqNQzEEgb9w/51gNID0mOcL._AA280_%5B1%5D_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="244" /></a></p> Vicki and Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17828843332042775412noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838983997733180615.post-30136821077234539962010-01-15T22:19:00.001-07:002010-01-16T05:46:38.032-07:00Baby update<p>OK I’m currently 36 and will be 37 weeks along on Tuesday.  Mike, Keira and I went in for our last, to our knowledge, ultrasound today to see if he’s still breach and what his growth percentile is.  For those who didn’t know our little boy has always been very low normal range.  Basically if they’re at 10% or lower the doctors worry and he’s always been around 12 or 13%.  Which is why I’ve been going for NST’s (fetal heart monitoring) twice a week for about a month (I get out of it for ultrasound weeks) at Osborn Hospital since she can’t do it in office.  Luckily though we can stop that now.  Mike and I were rebelling from it to her when we unexpectedly realized we were getting billed for every freaking time I went since it wasn’t done in my doctors office but rather at the hospital. Lame ass insurance thing.  If any monitoring is done at her office, ultrasounds whatever, its free but anywhere else, no. But since our little boy received higher marks (36% as of today) Dr. Hunt ok’d us to stop in her eyes, otherwise we were going to have a ‘talk’ about it next week.  Meaning she’d say we have to go and we’d politely ignore her or make some kind of bargain.  =)  </p> <p> </p> <p>Anyways the ultrasound today showed he was in the 36% for growth which is great since he’s only made 1 or 2% increases all this time.  The tech also made her first guess on his weight too but we forgot to ask just <em>how</em> accurate that is.  Her estimate by the way is 6 pounds 3 ounces currently  which beats Keira’s birth weight by 2 ounces but you have to remember she was born at 37 weeks so its not <em>that</em> strange.  As for the breach thing…yep, he’s still it.  In fact he’s exactly how I was when I was born, full breach.  He’s got his head up right up in my freaking rib cage on the right side which explains why its constantly feeling pushed out by the way.  Not only that the little devil’s got his hands AND his feet right in front of his face as well.  The last tech nicknamed it pike position since its what the high divers call it for diving purposes but that’s not the actual technical doctor term for it.  Because of this though I have to have a caesarean no matter what, unless of course he decides to move his head downwards.  Dr. Hunt warned us about this awhile ago since he’s always been in this position.  She said the procedure for turning him only is extremely high risk for me because of two reasons: 1) his growth ratio size 2) the shape of my placenta which apparently isn’t a regular oval but more like two kidneys with one attaching to me through the other which of course makes it fragile I suppose.  I.E.  they could break it if they weren’t careful and <em>that</em> would be very bad.  </p> <p> </p> <p>Anyways she’s officially scheduled me for a tentative c-section on February 4th this week so that we could be on the hospital’s books.  It’s tentative for the reason that he could move and babies tend not to listen to when they’re supposed to be born so obviously he can decide no that doesn’t work for him and come sooner which would make me then an emergency c-section.  The irritating part of this though was that they were supposed to call me to book it and they didn’t so when I brought it up today when we went for our ultrasound and mentioned that fact only to discover that they booked it for me already.  Without asking me…<em>or</em> seeing if that even worked for me.  The office assistant even made it sound like they booked it that way because I had an apt on the 2nd with them, which I might add I told the girl not to schedule since that fell in the time frame the doctor said I’d be getting my c-section in, but as you can see she didn’t listen every well. <em>SOOOOO</em> irritating I tell you.  From what I’ve been told from every c-sectioned mom I’ve met its typically done 10 days before the due date but <em>no</em> mines 4 days.  Mike of course thinks this is great because for him it works out well work wise.  I though have been in a <em>lot</em> of strong pain (and I have a high threshold for it) and such and want it done sooner and not later.  I tried to talk to the lady about it today but unfortunately Mike kept interfering and said it was fine so just leave it.  <em>Yes</em>, I realize its best for the baby and such to stay in longer like he used as part of his sides argument later on (the other being it works well for him) but the boy does irk me when he ends it by telling me its best for everyone that way.  Because to that I naturally think… well I’m glad <em>I’m</em> a nobody then since I don’t agree. He also commented its ‘only’ 19 more days.  To which my little eyes narrow at and think, then YOU carry him and take the pain, since any women whose done the late stages of pregnancy knows there’s no such thing as <em>only</em> so many more days.  Its more like kill me now I have …. more days to go.</p> <p> </p> <p>As of now though that’s what's basically going on baby health wise.  On the home front we’ve already got his room done (its a surfer theme) along with everything else I can think of besides perhaps more clothes when we know his actual starting size. (Keira surprised me by being preemie and we didn’t have any preemie clothes.  My mom had to hurriedly get us some to take her home in like the day before when I discovered to my horror what I’d brought with us was <em>way</em> to big.) Besides that we just need to buy a double stroller but for them to use but we’re waiting to see what releases for the 2010 models…if they EVER release.  We even picked out his name  (NO we won’t tell you so don’t ask) which I knew would suck for me because Mike isn’t used to the newer style names so he devastatingly killed almost all my favorites with his veto rights on names.  Naming goes like this: I pick them and he tells me which he can’t stand, leaving me with my list of options to work with. With Keira I learned the harsh truth that he dislikes unisex names because he doesn’t want the child confused gender wise by their teacher and others. (Hence why her first name isn’t Riley) Me… I don’t see the problem with those types of names, as I teacher I’m used to them and most teachers are as well.  With boy names the new style (such as Hayden, Aiden, Jaden) seems too feminine to him and yes they ironically rhyme.   When it came to ideas from him…(I was desperate to ask this by the way) all but one of his ideas for unique names to me were and actually are insanely common. (I hate commonly used names…like ironically his or Jenny.  Since there so many of them. Case in point Mike has had like eight friends named Mike as well since I’ve known him)  An example for you of his name ideas was Christopher… which I might point out is in the top five most commonly used of <em>all</em> time names. It’s like third I think. Good luck by the way as a teacher NOT having one every year in your class.  I’ve had two with the same last name initial in one year alone. Which is another reason I hate the name…one of my Christopher's was <em>irritating</em>.  Such teaching experiences can ruin names I tell you.  I loved the name Damien and Brandon for a long time and then I got two of them in my class.  One of each I loved and wouldn’t have had a problem naming a child it. Brandon from third grade I would’ve even spelt his way Brandyn since he was so cool.  But the other Brandon I had in my second grade class….(shivers) would only bring up bad memories every time I heard it. That kid was like the devil incarnate. </p> Vicki and Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17828843332042775412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838983997733180615.post-72968190494051380022009-12-28T19:06:00.001-07:002009-12-28T19:06:08.728-07:00Christmas thanks<p>We just wanted to thank everyone for all the beautiful gifts and Christmas cards we received.  Keira really loves all her new toys.</p> Vicki and Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17828843332042775412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838983997733180615.post-80327230307518202022009-12-26T21:18:00.001-07:002009-12-27T22:19:40.122-07:00Christmas<p>Here are the videos we shot of Keira opening and playing with her gifts on Christmas day.</p> <p> </p> <p></p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px;

Mike needs to do it or I need more ports. I vote more ports.   Anyways we had fun and Keira loved eating at the big table with all the big people food.  The weather though was raining for a lot of it and with Keira’s common bad mood from teething we decided to bail out on Sunday rather then stay till Monday.  </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Baby news</strong>:</p> <p>Went to my doctor today for my next regular appointment which had this ‘fun’ thing for me to do plus an ultrasound they unexpectedly threw at me the day before.  I.E. I got to do my Glucose test, which is mandatory for all expectant moms and if you haven’t done one it requires you to drink a dreadfully sweet fruit punch like drink and then <em>not</em> be able to have anything to wash it down with for an hour until they draw blood.  It’s even too sweet for me and <em>that’s</em> saying something.  I can tolerate it if I drink it over like three to five minutes but I’d probably puke if I tried to just down it in one go.  Anyways I did that and got my ultrasound done while I burned my hour of waiting.  Which apparently almost cost me having to do the damn glucose test again because I had three minutes left  out of the 15 minute grace period to get my blood drawn.  Why they didn’t just come and get me I don’t know but I would’ve been pissed if I had to come back to do it just because of them messing up scheduling.  Anyways, my doctor came in at the end and demanded info from the tech.  The tech you see reports to someone else first and that someone made her wait a month for the last results which they just told me about yesterday.  </p> <p>According to Dr. Hunt our baby boy is still in the normal range for his ultrasound results but he’s on the very bottom of it.  He ranked 12 percentile this scan and below 10 they start getting uncomfortable.  He was 8th last time I might add so at least he’s growing which is what she said she wants/needs to see.   Because of all this though she’s decided I have to report to the Osborn’s birthing center (where I’ll have him and had Keira) for twice a week baby monitoring unless of course I have an ultrasound that week then I don’t have to go.  Lucky for us I guess that she booked one for Christmas week.  This of course will be a pain for us both, me because its freaking 35 miles one way to get to and Mike because guess who he gets while I’m there for 45 minutes of testing plus drive time,  yep, Keira.  I <em>could</em> technically bring her but I have to lay still and yeah can you see Keira quietly sitting on my lap or something like that.  Not quite…but it’s a nice delusion.</p> <p>Along with all this I also got informed that he’s <em>still</em> obsessing about his beloved placenta or in layman terms he’s still head up with his face happily against it (he’s been posed there for every freaking ultrasound we’ve had)  when most babies have started meandering head down.  I was told by the tech that he’s basically got two weeks to get his act in gear since I’m 30 weeks right now and most babies don’t move their position after they’re 32 weeks.  To top it off Dr. Hunt told me that because of two factors, his small size and my apparently unusually shaped placenta (its like two kidneys which only one is connected directly to me and the other one connected to the first part via something instead of a whole piece like normal), she <u>cannot</u> at all risk turning him <em>if</em> he is breach.  For that procedure only I’d be considered high risk because of his size and the possibility of damaging my placenta in the process, which yes…would be a <em>very</em> bad thing to do since it’s kind of his life line.   Anyways that’s why we’re getting another ultrasound in three weeks no doubt, to check his progress position wise as well as size wise.  I might add this boy should feel like a freaking movie star already.  Keira had like two more then normal ultrasounds but he’s probably at like six or seven so far when most moms get like one a trimester.  Oh and that’s just the extra stuff to do I still have to come in every two weeks and then after 36 weeks every week like normal.  Which is why I freaking feel like I should just live up there.</p> Vicki and Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17828843332042775412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838983997733180615.post-58516046792650514732009-10-24T20:48:00.001-07:002009-10-26T21:46:38.094-07:00Holiday Plans<p>Since it’s probably not expected to most of the family here’s are our holiday plans.</p> <p><strong>Thanksgiving:</strong> Normally we don’t come out lately for Thanksgiving……probably will this year. (We’ll see how we feel.)  After all it’s a long drive for a day thing when you have a one year old so that’s why we normally rather not.  Who knows our our laziness may win this year too.  </p> <p><strong>Possible affecting factor:</strong> I have to get an ultrasound soon (Nov. 4) just for them to check something on me and not the baby so since that sounds a bit weird to me who knows I may be unexpected banned from stuff like travel for some reason.  (Something about checking my veins with it again because they were larger then expected and being worried about my blood pressure going up when its naturally low.)  Why exactly for sure that bothers them I don’t know.  My <em>What to Expect When Your Expecting</em> book though says that higher blood pressure is fine by itself to occur but can be an issue if there are some other signs involved.  Together those signs would be indicators for preeclampsia or better known perhaps to some as toxemia.  Which for those who don’t know what either is it’s basically the poisoning of my blood and of course would be <em>bad</em> and could lead to bed rest or a lovely long stay at the hospital so that they can make sure I don’t deliver early. (Severe cases do so automatically but those are never people who had prenatal and have gone past preeclampsia and into something worse call eclampsia.)  Anyways, I knew someone who was in hospital 2 months before their child was born because of preeclampsia.  SUCKY.  But like I said there would need to be more signs so that <u>may</u> be why they’re nervous about my veins and want to ultrasound me for it again.  That said only like 8% of all pregnant women get it, which the nurses on both sides of the families will tell you so don’t freak out that I will actually have it.  </p> <p><strong>Christmas</strong>, we always do the drive and multiple house thing…..<strong>this year</strong>…..you know where we live. Yep… that’s right you heard me right, I said you know where we live. It’s home this year for us not San Diego, San Marcos or Irvine.</p> <p>Why you ask?  Well since I’m pregnant there’s a no travel time put on us pregos and yep… Mine’s right at Christmas so if you want to see us for Christmas well…. You know where we live. (That does <u>not</u> mean we’re housing everyone by the way.  We’ve got 1 guest room 1! …And I guess maybe the babies room if we had too but we’re not a hotel.) I say this because we suggested it one year for Xmas and Grandpa Craft teased we’d better be able to hold everyone then room wise. </p> <p>And of course our house is where to send our gifts too just so you know.  =) (Keira wants that mentioned since it’s very important to her.) That said it’s kind of nice to stay home for once… after all I can see and <em>use</em> my Christmas tree!  Whoo hoo!  Normally it gets little love and is rather a burden then a cool thing but I won’t let Mike <em>not</em> get one because that would be well… just sacrilege to someone who grew up on Christmas Card Lane.  (That’s three streets who do the big signs for everyone to drive by if you don’t know the areas Christmas events) </p> <p>So anyways that’s our Holiday plans this year. Figured everyone should be told <em>before</em> we’re just not there or just suddenly there. =) Or its <em>way</em> to late for make other plans for seeing us when it wasn’t expected…i.e. Christmas.</p> Vicki and Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17828843332042775412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838983997733180615.post-44972077345567734812009-10-24T16:07:00.001-07:002009-10-24T16:07:59.129-07:00Pumpkin Patch Videos<div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:40621f72-d24e-49e6-8eb0-e2337266d463" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><div id="58f35452-e8da-4103-a79e-d9aafb6746b1" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline;"><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTNXgnLnWCM" target="_new"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JvP14FrwpwE/SuOIynsBNII/AAAAAAAAB_o/EInNfU5lHCU/videoa5d8d7bfe60e%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-style: none" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('58f35452-e8da-4103-a79e-d9aafb6746b1'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML = "<div><object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/GTNXgnLnWCM&hl=en\"><\/param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/GTNXgnLnWCM&hl=en\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>";" alt=""></a></div></div></div> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:b4fb1f6f-8cd1-4638-9458-81be2a424e87" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><div id="ebc7c804-a7fe-4a23-8766-1d66776325af" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline;"><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPf3xwJDAYs" target="_new"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JvP14FrwpwE/SuOIy504RdI/AAAAAAAAB_s/J54XFyFFlSY/videoe167144ad218%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-style: none" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('ebc7c804-a7fe-4a23-8766-1d66776325af'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML = "<div><object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/wPf3xwJDAYs&hl=en\"><\/param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/wPf3xwJDAYs&hl=en\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>";" alt=""></a></div></div></div> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:144eb444-6011-45e8-a556-1d2b1eb1d552" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><div id="07fd39c4-c948-4270-857e-8ed54089aafe" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline;"><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDL5O9zbd24" target="_new"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JvP14FrwpwE/SuOIzQnTluI/AAAAAAAAB_w/ySj72UDZz5o/videoe1d78a421bd9%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-style: none" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('07fd39c4-c948-4270-857e-8ed54089aafe'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML = "<div><object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/SDL5O9zbd24&hl=en\"><\/param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/SDL5O9zbd24&hl=en\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>";" alt=""></a></div></div></div> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:6fbcdbff-48e9-4ecb-abba-ca9b1c27e158" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><div id="5f1c7fd3-94d4-4192-8faa-a03a3ea30344" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline;"><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBExESQLi8s" target="_new"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JvP14FrwpwE/SuOIzrxKfUI/AAAAAAAAB_0/_xQelaXN-K0/video33a53034815d%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-style: none" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('5f1c7fd3-94d4-4192-8faa-a03a3ea30344'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML = "<div><object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/KBExESQLi8s&hl=en\"><\/param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/KBExESQLi8s&hl=en\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>";" alt=""></a></div></div></div> Vicki and Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17828843332042775412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838983997733180615.post-85486044983032607002009-10-24T15:36:00.001-07:002009-10-24T20:49:33.925-07:00Blocks<p>We’ve been debating getting Keira some blocks but didn’t like how expensive they were for not knowing if she’d even like them or not.  I went to the Kid to Kid store (second hand) and found some cheap randomly though and got her some and yes… she likes them.
