:: 11.04.10 :: Today Is The Due Date
It’s also the date I asked to be induced. So the hubs and I left the house at 5:40am to get to the hospital at 6. We left Zoe still asleep in our bed. My mother in law was home to stay with her.


07:00 Check into room
07:30 The hubs leaves to go back home and get Zoe ready for school. He found her awake in her room looking for me.
07:40-08:30 I don’t remember the order but they hooked me up to antibiotics because I tested postitive for Group B Strep, they broke my water, and they pitocined me up.
09:30 The contractions were getting really bad so I asked for the epidural.
10:00 They epiduraled me up. I teared. It hurt but it wasn’t as bad as when I got it with Zoe.
10:30 The hubs was back  right in time for the epidural to kick in. From here on I was MESseD up. Like my speech was slurred. I kept wanting to sleep but couldn’t. I would talk really slow and have these little 5 second dreams that I would tell C about and he’d tell me I’m crazy and to take a nap.  Like one of them was “Hun, I just dreamt that all these bubbles just came out of the hospital bathroom.” He’s like “Uh huh, ok. Go to sleep crackhead.” And it would take a lot of effort for me to even talk. My legs went numb. I was itchy. I threw up twice. Just from my eyes shifting across the room or from reclining my bed. It was like motion sickness. So weird. By 1pm I was fully dialated. My doctor made me do 2 practice pushes and jokes that she was disappointed in my pushes and that she’d come back. It’s not like I couldn’t tell whether or not I was having a contraction to push. It was more like I can’t tell because of the pain of ur hand shoved in my hooch was making it hard for me to differentiate which pain was what okay? She came back at…..
01:55 I started pushing
02:01 The baby was OH YOU TEE OUTTTTTTT!

6 minutes people! Who’s the woman? Who’s the woman?! I was so proud of my vagina. Hahaha….


The hubs told me that when he went home in the evening to pick Zoe up at school he told her that she was the big sister to a baby brother. She argued with him that he was wrong and that she was having a baby sister. Like he got the wrong information. Hahaha…. His testicles screamed “I’m a boy!”

:: 11.05.10 :: The Big Sister Visits
The hubs and I were a little scared about having Zoe visit me because we though she might have a meltdown if she found out that I wasn’t going to leave with them. I missed her so much so she skipped school and came over with the hubs at 10:30am. She was really good with him. He was cranky off and on throughout the day because he got circumcised early that morning. I cringed every time I changed him. Poor lil pee pee. We had our church pastor visit, then we had lunch, then Uncle Pinky and Aunt Liz visited, then Zoe took a nap on my bed while her dad went out to run errunds. Her dad came back later with my mil and Zoe and I had dinner together. When it was time to leave she was ReALLY upset. She kept crying and looking at me with this sad face and she kept saying “Come with me mommy! Come home with me!” It was sooo sad. I carried her down the hall while she sobbed on my shoulder. Then we bribed her with some m&m’s in the vending machine and I sent them on their way. She just called me to say good night a little past 10. I was like “Shouldn’t you be asleep already?” Her dad in the background goes “She HAD to watch the entire Toy Story 3 dvd.” Hahaha… Fine. To get her to leave I told her that I had to stay one more night because I needed to get one more shot on my hand if they stay they have to get a shot too. So while w were talking on the phone she said “Mommy don’t get too many shots, OKAY? Just one, OKAY? Don’t get two, OKAY?” So cute. I check out tomorrow morning.

Quick Update….     
  



     



          

    

Zoe’s Daily Funny:
So Zoe’s all about potty training. It is taking pretty long though I have to say. She has A LOT of accidents. I mean she’s so fast with everything else that we’re actually surprised she hasn’t caught onto this by now. I don’t know but we’ll keep trying. Anyhoots sometimes when I pee I’ll leave the bathroom door open a crack just in case she needs me. Sometimes she’ll come in, put her hands on my knees, try to peek between my legs and say…

Zoe: Mommy are you peeing?
Me: Yes. Can I have some space?
Zoe: (listening) I hear it! Good job mommy! Good girl!

This one time we had all just woken up and I was brushing my teeth in front of the bathroom mirror. Then the hubs comes in to use the toilet. He gets in that Man-At-The-Toilet stance. You know, the one hand on your wee-wee other hand on the wall stance? Zoe comes in as he’s peeing and she goes stands next to him. I watch her staring at the stream of urine. From where it starts to where it hits the water in toilet bowl. Then I hear her say…

Zoe: Ahbah you peeing?
C: Yes.
Zoe: Good job ahbah! You’re a good boy!

I don’t mind having a cheerleader when I pee but honestly she’s really vocal about things she don’t need to be vocal about. Like this one time we were using a bathroom at Macy’s and I asked if I could go before her and she said “Sure!” So as I was going she exclaims “MOMMY! I LOVE YOUR PINK PANTIES! Say ‘thank you Zoe!’” I heard someone laugh a few stalls over. THANKS FOR NUTHIN ZOE HOW BOUT THAT?! 

Last night Zoe’s dad and I were having this, I guess we can call it a contest. He would fake cry and say something like “Zoe mommy was mean to me.” Just to see how she would react and at the same time I’d start to bawl and say “ZOE AHPAH YELLED AT ME!! I’M SOOOOO SAD!” and then I’d fake cry.

I won. Girl sent his ass to time out. Then she’d come over to me and say in this consoling voice “Mommy I put him in time out ok? Don’t cry. There there.” And I would just fake sob on her shoulders while watching her father flick me the bird in the time out chair and then I’d say in my fake crying voice “Zoe it was sooo horrible. He was so mean to me and I just can’t…I can’t (sob) i’m so sad I can’t talk.” So then she’d run back to him and yell stuff like “DON’T YELL AT MY MOMMY OK! BE NICE!! TIME OUT TWO MINUTES OKAY!!!!!” and then she’d run back and console me as I fake cried some more on her shoulders while giving her father this huge victory smile.

Mommy always wins. C’mon hun. You should know better.

Man I think I just gave you 2 daily funnies by mistake. Haha well I saved the best for last. At the end of this entry watch the video.

:: 07.17.10 :: Morgan’s Birthday Party
I look at Zoe in the 2nd photo and I realize how much she’s grown since July. She lost a lot of babyfat. I so sad.
       


                                        
 

 

Video: Singing Contest
Zoe and I were having a singing contest just for fun where we would take turns singing to her dad and she would interupt my songs and I’d interupt hers and we’d start bickering. Finally I decided maybe we should get our contest on video. If you notice she bows in the beginning. I taught her that. hee hee… She’s really cute in this. Enjoy! Oh and our mics are sidewalk chalk. It’s called improvising people!
                    

Zoe’s Daily Funny:
Yesterday I went upstairs to get something from my bedroom. I hear Zoe walking around downstairs looking for me while yelling “mom!”. I go downstairs and she’s at the bottom looking up at me. She says…

Zoe: Mommy I was looking for you?
Me: You were? I’m right here though. Why were you looking for me?
Zoe: (making a sad face) Because I was gonna miss you.

Hahaha okay stalker. I was gone for like 10 seconds.

Today I dropped Zoe off at school, went to my ob/gyn, picked up something to eat, picked up dry cleaning, and then came home to clean our office. While cleaning the doorbell rang. I looked out the window and see about 5 little boys (3 of them Korean I’m pretty sure and probably around the age of 9 or 10) hiding behind our car. You little punk asses. So I opened the window and said “Hey! If you don’t need anything then don’t be ringing on my doorbell you got that?!” They all looked scared and nodded. Punk asses. Next time I’m gonna hold the phone and pretend I’m calling the cops. They did this like last friday too. Maybe I’ll dump a bucket of water on them. I should actually get my mother in law to yell out Korean obscenities. She’s good. She’d scare the shit outta them. Muhahaha…  Isn’t this sad? This was like the excitement of my day now that I’m out on maternity leave. I think I’m gonna take a nap at 4 before I pick Zoe up at school.
