I guess it's time to start blogging again. Not that I <em>now</em> have it all together, but because I know some readers have been wondering what's new with us. I'm not sure if I will ever have it all together. Or ever know if what I am doing as a mother is right. Or ever be on time anywhere in my life again. Getting yourself ready to go somewhere, and a baby, and making sure the breastfed baby eats before leaving the house, and remembering the diaper bag, and trying not to forget your cell phone at home for the millionth time.... It's all extrememly had work! Ha.<br />
<br />
Baby Dawson is going in and out of a sleep as I type on these extremely loud computer keys. I'm trying so hard to type gently and not make a TON of noise. Although I'm begining to think she enjoys the noise. That's always when she has slept the best.... when we are somewhere with a lot of noise.<br />
<br />
Dawson was born on August 13, 2012. We were scheduled to go in that day. It was a Monday. A couple of weeks before she was born, she hadn't flipped yet, so Dr. R monitored her and about a week out, scheduled a c-section for the little breech babe. I was also breech, so she was already taking after her momma :)<br />
<br />
On that Sunday night, it was hard to get any sleep at all. My mom came to town after a long day. Her brother passed away that Sunday afternoon. Not exactly what you want to happen around such a joyous time. But it was comforting knowing my Uncle Ronnie was entering Heaven just as Dawson was entering this world. Crazy how things work out. The Man upstairs definitely knows what he is doing. I know Dawson's arrival helped everyone out during that sad time.<br />
<br />
So my mom go into town that evening. We ate, watched some TV, talked about how crazy it was I was about to have a baby in less than 24 hours. We pondered what she would look like. My mom took one last pic of my belly. It was a great night. The next morning, Jack and I were up early and ready for our day. I couldn't eat or drink anything after midnight that Sunday - why is it when people tell you that you can't eat or drink you suddenly get SO hungry and thirsty? So I was extremely thirsty Monday morning. We packed up and headed to the hospital. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img class="largePrevImg" height="290" src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2d605b3127ccef0a5cc0d73fa00000040O01AbtmTli4YtQe3nwM/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/" width="400" /></div>
Jack and I got all checked in and sent to a small room. They were extrememly busy because they had 8 babies born the night before! The nurses came in to get me all hooked up and start an IV. This was the WORST part of the entire deal. You wouldn't think getting an IV would be so painful. I have never passed out in my life, but I was on the verge of it that morning. It took the nurse FIVE, count it, FIVE tries to get my IV in. One time she thought she had it in and she started pumping the saline in and my arm started blowing up and got really cold! She had missed the vein and the fluids were shooting into my arm! Yuck. Jack was having to fan me. I could tell her was extremely frustrated how things were going. Haha. <br />
<br />
Shortly after they finally got my IV in, they hooked me up to this machine that showed Dawson's heartbeat and my contractions. I don't think I ever had any contractions. Jack's mom and friend LaDon arrived, my dad, my mom and sisters all arrived. After they came into the room, I feel like they were only there a few minutes and then Jack went to get suited up and we were off to the delivery room! Jack's sister arrived once we went back! It was a full house!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img class="largePrevImg" height="290" src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2d605b3127ccef0a5f4e1730a00000070O01AbtmTli4YtQe3nwM/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/" width="400" /></div>
<br />
Right before I went into the room, Dr. R came by and checked one last time to make sure she hadn't decided to flip around - then it was time to go! They wheeled me in and Jack had to sit outside until they gave me the spinal block and had the sheets up, etc. Once they were all ready to start, Jack was able to come in and I swear not 10 minutes went by and Dawson Caroline was welcomed into this world! They lifted her up over the sheet for about one second, I barely got a glimpse of her. Jack went over with her and kept running back to me showing me pictures of sweet Dawson on our camera. Then she finally came over to me after Jack was able to cut the umbillical cord and they got her bundled up! I cry thinking about that first moment when she was right next to me. With Jack. One happy little family. The baby we had hoped and prayed for was finally here. Thank you God.<br />

Jack took her out to show all of the family our new little bundle! I was in the room getting all sewn up. This part is kind of a blur / whirlwind when I look back at it. I was taken to the room where everyone was and I was able to hold Dawson for the first time. Everyone kept saying she looked just like me. Ha, I didn't really see it. I am really bad at telling who babies look like! I think she is a good mixture of both of us. We stayed in that room a little bit and then went to our room we would be in for the next couple of days. I just held and starred at our little miracle. Jack changed all of her diapers the first day. I couldn't get out of bed until 5am the next morning. We had a nurse come in and she asked Jack if he wanted to watch her change the first diaper or if he wanted her to just instruct him. He said he wanted her to instruct him so he could do it while she was there watching him :) He scored a perfect 10! It's amazing watching the man you love so much instantly turn into this perfect father. As if I didn't already love him to the moon and back - I didn't think I could love him more until I saw him holding out little babe. What a sight. <br />

Dawson had to have an ekg in the hospital. They heard a little mummur that needed to be checked out. The doctors assured us it was nothing to worry about. They found a little tiny hole in one of her chambers and had us make an appointment with a cardiologist in the upcoming weeks (I will touch more on that later). Again, Dr. L assured us it was very common to hear a little mummur and it was nothing to worry about. So we tried not to, even though as a parent, you hear something about your child's heart and you immediately worry. We decided just to listen to the doc and put it out of our minds until we went to meet with a cardilogist.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

The next few days we had a lot of visitiors. Dawson was meeting so many people! All of our nurses were wonderful. Nurse Jackie was probably my favorite. Jack slept on this hard bench looking seat with a blanket and pillow each night.<br />

More to come later. <br />

Dawson Caroline Judd was born on August 13th at 11:25am, weighing 7 pounds 11 ounces and 19.5 inches long. Everyone is happy and healthy. We are absolutely smitten with this little doll. The love I have for this baby girl brings me to tears. Thank you God for giving Jack and I this gift. </div>

I thought I would follow her lead. I love the summer Olympics, I love watching gymnastics in particular. I used to want to be Shannon Miller. I also LOVED red, white and blue. I had my room done in red, white and blue when I was younger. My bedspread was Joe Boxer teddy bears wearing red, white and blue striped shirts. I had a red headboard, white dresser with red and blue handles. Needless to say, I love the U.S.A. Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" gets me every time. Nerd alert? Maybe :)<br />

Here are some of my favorite red, white and blue items right now:<br />

At this rate, she's gaining about an ounce per day - and I'm definitely feeling it. My stomach is heavy. If she comes out anything less than 8lbs, I'll be totally shocked.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="284" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--JH_pf2-6Qk/T0vHefngFgI/AAAAAAAABIY/jSBQAVYWNHk/s400/36-crenshaw-melon.jpg" width="400" />
</div>
Yesterday I had my first weekly appointment with Dr. R. She checked me and my cervix is softening, but I'm not dilated at all. She wanted to double check that Dawson was head down, because she didn't think what she was feeling was her head. She scanned me and low and behold, Dawson is sitting head up, bottom down with her legs crossed Indian style. Dr. R said normally if babies haven't flipped by now, usually they won't, but there's still a chance she might. She is going to check Dawson's position for the next two weeks and if she hasn't flipped, we will schedule a c-section the week before Dawson is due - I'm guessing somewhere between the 10th and the 13th? I really don't have a preference whether I have a vaginal birth of c-section. I won't feel like less of a woman if I never have a vaginal birth. I just want her to arrive safely.<br />
<br />
I was actually breach and my mom had to have an emergency c-section with me (she said I was by far her worst delivery, thanks mom). I'm also left handed. Does this mean Dawson is already taking after her momma? Will she be a lefty? That would be great for her golf game - am I about to give birth to a female Phil Mickelson.... :)<br />
<br />
I'm feeling good this week. I haven't had any pre-labor pains. No contractions or Braxton Hicks that I am aware of or have felt. Things seem to be going pretty well. It sure is hot out there, but I'm just trying to stay positive about the heat - I don't have much longer, why start complaining now! But a big 'ol girl in this heat that is outgrowing her clothes by the second isn't a pretty sight. I was talking about this the other day with some other pregnant friends. I'm starting to outgrow my clothes but I am determined NOT to buy anything else. I will make what I have work until I have this little babe. You really do get much bigger at the end.<br />
<br />
On another note, I'm wearing all black at work today and keep looking down to find white Tank hairs on me. Is it weird it kind of makes me smile :) <br />

For the past 4 years, it has just been Jack, Tank and I. I told Jack it's crazy to think that we are about to be given something that we will be responsible for, to love and care for, the rest of our lives. There's no returning a baby. You can't get pregnant, test it out, see how you like it and if it doesn't work out - simply return. A child is forever.<br />
<br />
I went to bed last night thinking about that. Thinking about how our family of three will soon become four. I get emotional thinking about it. Jack and I are so ready to become parents. I've been waiting for this moment for so long. To be here - at the end. Waiting on her to come. We are so excited to welcome Dawson into our family. I've so enjoyed every second I've had alone with Jack and Tank. I wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world - but I am anxious and looking forward to what's to come for our family. I'm excited to see Jack with his baby girl - and Tank as a big brother of course :) I'm thrilled beyond belief to start making Family of Four Memories! Annnnnd to finally have two girls in the house so I'm not out-numbered anymore :)<br />

They are never on my grocery list, but when I pass them at the front of the store in the seasonal food section - I can never pass them by. How good are these things?! They remind me of growing up at our old house in Choctaw. My favorite is red of course, but I also really like the green. Our freezer is now stocked with them, along with the freezer at Jack's work. I bought a bunch for the guys out in the machine shop. What a nice way to cool off after welding a huge job!<br />

We have been working on the nursery little by little now, and it has finally all come together! Special thanks to my Mom and sister Lindsay who came to help us paint! Jack and I are so pleased with the way everything turned out. Now we will just have to wait for Dawson to make her grand entrance! <br />

Am I hearing this correctly? Actually, it's 4 weeks and 5 days to be exact... but who's counting :)<br />
<br />
Things seem to be going smoothly. I hope I am not speaking too soon! Jack and I have been working on getting our house organized and deep cleaned so we aren't slamming everything into the week before she comes. And of course she could always come early, so we want to be prepared. I actually washed all of her clothes, blankets, towels, boppy covers, changing pads, etc. this past weekend through last night. Yikes, that took forever. And everything is soooo small. Folding a 0-3 month size onesie is quite the challenge. And then of course you have stuff that says to wash by itself, wash on delicate, lay flat to dry, etc. It's not just "wash and dry" like I do most of my clothes!<br />
<br />
I should have nursery pics up hopefully next week :) I'm so excited to share with you all! <br />
<br />
This week Dawson is over 18 inches long and over 5.5lbs - about the weight of a honeydew (according to BabyCenter). She's running out of room, so I don't feel her moving around as much as I feel big jabs or kicks. I am getting more and more elbows and feet in my side than I am fluttery little movements :) Most of Dawson's physical development is complete and now she will just spend the next few weeks gaining weight.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I monogrammed about 10 burp cloths last week for Dawson. Remember me saying I hadn't really done ANYTHING for her? Well I am catching up. I am going to monogram a couple of onesies this weekend and then I think she will be set for now. I love the little ruffles and eyelet on the burp cloths below:</div>

<strike>Jack, close your eyes.</strike> Haha, just kidding. He knows my obsession with Christmas. I ordered Dawson a couple of holiday pieces in the past two weeks. It's going to be very challenging for me to resist a lot of the adorable outfits I've been seeing online. SO. CUTE. Here are three I've already purchased - I can't wait to take Dawson to the pumpkin patch with her shirt on and little skinny jeans and boots:</div>

One last thing - my bestie Nicole had her little boy Wyatt James yesterday morning. This big boy weighed a whopping 11.1lbs! So much baby to love. I can't wait to squeeze his cheeks off.</div>

The mantle was decorated with tissue poms and her future last name. We bought 99cent wooden letters from Hobby Lobby and then wrapped them in burlap.</div>

Beautiful flowers in vases made by hostess, Jackie :) She wrapped mason jars in burlap string / twine and added fabric flowers she made. So crafty.<br />

Wreath Jackie made for the front door with Brooke's "future" last name initial. The "O" is a wooden letter wrapped in fabric with fabric flowers glued to it.<br />

Tank was bunny hunting from our living room last week. He jumps around on the back of the couch like a cat. I'm very surprised he's never fallen. He loves his bunnies though! There are two in the front yard in the pics below:</div>

I started monogramming stuff for Dawson last night! Finally! You would think I had a ton monogrammed for her, but I just haven't had time. Here's a burp cloth with fabric I did and two little kimono tops for her first weeks. I have been seeing kimono tops on a lot of mom/hospital check lists so I bought a couple of cheap ones and added her initials for extra cuteness:</div>

Jack put together Dawson's swing! We are trying to get rid of boxes since our trash service is changing and we can no longer pile tons of crap by our curb to be picked up :) It was nice getting this checked off the list of things to do:</div>

We had a holiday on a Wednesday then had to come BACK to work on Thursday. When I arrived at work on Thursday, I actually thought it was Monday for probably an hour or two. I'm not sure I'm a fan of Wednesday holidays. Especially when then majority of my friends either don't work or took off work and were on vacation, at the lake, etc. <br />
<br />
So I didn't blog at all last week. I just sat at my desk and sulked apparently :)<br />
<br />
Weeks 33 and 34 have gotten a little tiring. I feel like I've been going, going, going lately and it's really starting to catch up with me! Laying in bed at night, I'm having trouble flipping from side to side and getting up to go to the restroom. Luckily Jack has become an excellent lower back rubber! I've been kind of sore and achy in that region. Other than a few aches and pains, I really do feel great..... Not too much longer until we get to meet our little doll.<br />
<br />
The drapes for the nursery came in! I'm so excited to show you all the room! Just a few more little touches and I think I will be done. I'm hoping to have it all wrapped up in the next week or two. It already looks so good and I'm so happy with the way everything has turned out. It's just what I have been envisioning! The bedding came in and it's precious! A friend of my mom's made it and she did a fantastic job! I'll put her contact info up when I post pics of the nursery. She's amazing and does fabulous work.<br />
<br />
I'm debating when I should start washing Dawson's clothes, towels, blankets, etc. Doing laundry is one of my top least favorite chores to do, so I'm sure I will drag that out as long as possible :)<br />
<br />
This week I am 34 weeks and Dawson is about the size of a large cantaloupe. Her skin is getting super soft and she's fattening up!<br />

The start of college football! There are 66 days until OU FOOTBALL begins! Here are some things I am loving right now and think I should add to my wardrobe this Fall for the games:<br />

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband, Jack. I couldn't imagine a better way to spend my life than with you! I'm the luckiest girl in the world! Here's to many, many more years! I love you!</div>

They were so nice to host me a shower this past weekend and my friend/hostess Alexis said it best, the shower is worthy to be blogged about and pinned on pinterest. It was just so cute, simple and classic. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Everything at the shower was based around Dawson and her initials. Also, the shower was at 2pm, so I requested no food and just desserts :) That might have been the prego Jamie talking. Haha. The desserts were delicious and the company was even better. I was so excited for everyone who could make it - and those who weren't there were definitely missed. Thank you to my amazing hostesses: Ande, Brooke, Lacy, Mary, Alexis, Madeleine, Karns and Sarah. I will post a picture of these girls when I have uploaded the pictures on my own camera and from my mom's camera.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of my favorite parts about the shower was Mary walking around and taking pictures of me and all of my guests with an <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-MINI-7s-White-Camera/dp/B001AK1DOG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1340716810&sr=8-3&keywords=instant+camera">instant camera</a>! Just like the Polaroid's back in the day, but just a little more updated/modern camera! The guests signed their pictures and they put them in a book for me. Super neat.</div>

Celebrating Baby Dawson that evening. Perfect way to end a wonderful day! Don't worry, this momma didn't drink any bubbly :)</div>Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12843502956237097375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-464362900213597886.post-47277974318507387702012-06-26T08:41:00.001-05:002012-06-26T08:41:30.085-05:0032 Weeks.32 weeks! Okay, so I thought the time was going by quickly but now I feel like it's starting to slow down. This morning I told Jack I feel like August 19th is never going to be here! I'm so ready for Dawson's arrival and to not be pregnant anymore. I'm giddy.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week Dawson weighs about 3.75lbs and is about the size of a jicama (about 16.7 inches long). Don't worry, I'll post a picture of a jicama in a second for those of you who don't know what this is. I hadn't the faintest idea. I mean make comparisons with easier fruit/veggies, Baby Center :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This past week was busy, but like I said, I feel like it's starting to drag a bit. I had a baby shower and then I hosted a wedding shower for my dear old friend Brooke that I grew up with. She is getting married in October - let's hope some of this baby weight is gone before I have to slip into my bridesmaid dress.....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I feel great. I seem to be growing at a rapid pace. Baby Center says I should be gaining about a pound a week with half of that weight going straight to Dawson. She will gain about half of her birth weight within the next 7 weeks. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been eating a lot of sweets. Maybe that's why she's been so active in my tummy. Sugar high, perhaps? I feel like she's running out of room. My stomach is getting tighter and tighter. I still haven't seen stretch marks, so hopefully I can steer clear of those. I don't know if I have mentioned this, but all I've been using is the <a href="http://www.kiehls.com/Creme-de-Corps/259,default,pd.html?start=5&cgid=body-moisturizers">Kiehl's Creme de Corps body lotion</a>. I love it! Such a great lotion pregnant or not pregnant. So moisturizing. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And here I am at 32 weeks on Sunday. Wowzers. I think my stomach is more along the lines of a jumbo basketball than a Jicama.</div>

One of the dessert items were these mini s'more bites that her sister made! I wanted to share with all of you. She said they were easy to make and they were SO GOOD! <a href="http://texascottage.blogspot.com/2011/08/smore-cups.html">Here's the link to the recipe!</a><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My sweet mom sent this to my sisters and I last week. Such a great reminder. Happy Sunday!</span></div>Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12843502956237097375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-464362900213597886.post-49349100356093854202012-06-23T07:00:00.000-05:002012-06-23T07:00:06.991-05:00Infant Seat Cover.So my fabulously talented friend Jackie, and her mom Becky, made Dawson this super cute Infant Seat Cover! I wanted to share with all of you. I love the fabric choices they used. You can find these covers on esty.com I'm sure, but how nice is it that mine was made by such special friends? I know baby girl will really appreciate this if she's trying to sleep and we take her into a bright loud restaurant. I also know she will appreciate that this cover will keep those weird-o strangers we pass from trying to touch her in the mall or in the grocery store :) She appreciates her personal space like I do I'm sure.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Side view! As you can see, it just velcro's on the handle of the infant seat that is popped onto the stroller. If you don't want the cover on, simply remove it and fold it up into your diaper bag.</div>

Some people tell us now that we kind of look alike. What's funny is that statement couldn't be more false when looking at these baby pics! So funny. I had a good 1.6 lbs on him at least. I was joking with him last week telling him I probably would have beat him up in the nursery. He's just a dainty little thing :) Who will Dawson look like?!?! I can't wait to meet her! Will she look like the chubby little Indian on the left or the skinny little white boy on the right? Only time will tell!<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="298" src="http://www.kodakgallery.com/imaging-site/services/doc/5965:604840584214/jpeg/BG" width="400" />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Jack didn't have hair until he was about 1 or 2. I had a some hair and it was dark. Jack turned into a little toe head and had the prettiest head of blonde hair (and so handsome!). I was blonde around Kindergarten/1st grade. Could Dawson be a blonde? Will she have her Dad's wide set nose? Her mom's small eyes? Will she be long or short? Oh my goodness I'm so excited to meet her I can't stand it! She's already the prettiest baby on the planet and I've only met her through Ultrasounds :)</span></div>Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12843502956237097375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-464362900213597886.post-74794304902079184532012-06-21T07:00:00.000-05:002012-06-21T07:00:06.407-05:00Funny little chip clip.I recently came across these chip clips. When you squeeze them to un-clip them from a bag, they make animal noises. Might be a good gift to someone who is trying to lose weight. If I was going to open a bag of chips and heard a "Mooooo" or "Oink" sound, I might second guess those chips. Maybe I should pick up some of these clips to help lose post baby weight?<br />
