[aimeefarrahfowler]

Doll15, feel free to post on this thread whenever you can, or just let me know if I should bump you down the list and I'll call you out again later.

[Doll15]

We are still trying to catch up on sleep and household chores from last week. The struggle is real. I loved jcrewgirl idea of layout. I like for things to look organized!

I will upload picures via mobile because I am totally typing this on my work computer. Gotta love breaks!

Part 1- TTC

So DH and I decided to start trying in February of 2013, we we astounded when we found out in March that we were expecting. Unfortunately we had a MMC at 10w5d. In August we decided our hearts were ready to try again, it was much to our surpise when on 08/26/13 we found we were expecting.

Part 2- Pregnancy

To say that I had it easy is a serious understatement. I LOVED every minute of pregnancy. I was unluckyin that I had severe morning sickness (all day sickness really). i had multiple trips to the doctor for fluid replenishment but other then that I would chaneg nothing about my pregnancy.

Part 3- Labor

On Thursday May 1, I visited my dad and we went for a walk, on said walk I was tellign him how great I felt and I was pretty sure I would be pregnant for atleast another 2 weeks. I feel bad even admitting it but I never even got "uncomfortably pregnant." The morning of May 2nd (my due date and lastsay scheduled to work) I awoke at 2 a.m. with pretty noticeable contractions. I gto up and got dressed around 5 a.m. and decided to head to work to finish some last minute stuff, my contractions still apaprent but not increasing. I ended up working all day timing my contractions at 7 minutes apart. Later that evening they increased to every 5 minutes, I called in to L&D to see what they recommend and they said every 3 minutes head in. They also recommend I try some over the counter sleep aid (can not remember what) so that I can try to relax and rest because if labor coninued I would be having a baby soon. On saturday, it went down. I spent the morning walking the neighborhood. DH and I had to stop every 30 feet becasue I couldn't walk through the contractions. Tehy increased to every four minutes and kept getting more intense as the hours went by. At 7 p.m. my water broke in the hallway at my house, for anyone who experienced this can probably relate in that HOLY CRAP it gets intense. I took a shower, grabbed my bag, woke DH up form his nap and we left for the hospital. It was so intense, I thought I might dleiver on the side of the road. I entered L&D and they immediately checked my cervix. I could have kicked her when she said I was 3. About four hours later they offered me an epidural (they had already offered liek twice and I said no), I decided to try it. Well, much to amazement as the anesthiologist was walking in I started to throw up. The doctor checked me and I was a 10 and crowning. She looked at me and said "no time for meds". I pushed for about an hour and  on  May 4 2014 gave birth to a perfect 6 lb 13 oz 20.5 inch long baby girl. I look back now and would change nothing of my birth story.

Part 4- Chloe

Chloe has been an easy little gal. She amazed us all when she came home and slept 6 hours straight at night. We have been belssed in the sleep department for sure. She is very laid back and easy to take anywhere. I was able to breastfeed her and we worked up a schedule and she has been pretty consistent from the beginning. Chloe is predictable. She loves people and is always smiling and waving at everyone. She said dada first at 6 months. She has been crawling for almost four months and I am sure anyday now she will walk. Libby ( our dog) and her will crawl all over the house grabbing at anything and everything they shouldn't. Curious doesn't begin to describe this child.
Today she loves bananas and chicken. She weighs 17 pounds 8 oz and is 29 inches tall.
She says: dada, mama, baba, yeah and hi. I think she only really knows what baba and hi is.
She is a little traveller and has been to 3 different states not including the one we live in.

I think I have rambled enough already but feel free to ask me anything!

Thank you ladies, it's so hard to choose pictures. I like all 2000 of them. Haha

DH calls me Dollface. I don't know why but he always has. He calls Chloe Boo or Baby Dollface.

I got her sweetheart and Boo as well.

She is feeling better. As normal as can besides a runny nose.
I work. Last week I took the first three days off and DH took the last two. It worked well. Thankfully I have a lot of PTO and my work is super flexible and family friendly.

That's good! My work is pretty flexible too. It's a lifesaver with these LOs.

Is she in daycare or something else? How does she do there?

[Doll15]

aimeefarrahfowler

She is in Daycare. She loves it. She plays with all of the older kids and loves to follow them around. She has learned so much form them. When I drop her off she cries and grabs on to me but Ms. shannon says she warms up within a few minutes. When DH picks her up he has to be quick about it or she gets mad, especially if she is playing with snother kid. It is too cute.

[ksyknelvr73]

She is such a "doll baby" - the nickname suits her I love all of her pictures. I'm sorry for your prior loss before her as well. And hey, I think it's awesome she is such a wonderful sleeper! Take full advantage of that!!

[Doll15]

First off, I had to write down your name so I could quote you haha it was too hard to remember! Thank you for your kind words. I honestly feel the same about looking like a "doll." It's funny how the LO kind of become there nicknames

[jcrewgirl]
