blinged diaper wipe case

the other day i took sofia to the doctor because of her eye wouldn't stay clean. no matter what i do i have to clean it at least every three to four hours and all the time if she cries. i took her to the doctor to see if she had an eye infection but the doctor said all she had was a blocked tear duct. so i bought special wipes for her eye and face to bring with me when i am out. i wanted a special case for it and found some online but they are expensive, especially for a wipes case so i made my own and here they are. i am going to make like two more. :)


one from a boutique for 30 dollars.




and this is the second one...i like the animal print more better. it just looks better. i am going to make the butterfly one look better. i'll post a picture when i am done.

this is the first one i made...i like it better then the second one i made

29 and 30 weeks pregnant

i have a little time to myself before olivia wakes up from a nap. i am going to write a small post, throw a load of laundry in, and then jump in the shower before she wakes up. we have had a long day today so far. we woke up this morning, i made her breakfast, played a bit, cleaned my room, put some laundry away, sorted a few clothes, made lunch, and now she's sleeping. i'm trying to get her to stay on one task at a time. she'll ask me to do something with her and then a little while longer she will start something else to do. it makes me tired trying to chase her and being pregnant all day. it would be nice if the snow melted so we could play outside. we plan on planting a garden as soon as the ground gets soft. but since we are having a horrible winter this year we go to the mall all the time so she can play.

last week i was 29 weeks pregnant. i went to the doctor's and had a normal check up. he told me that he wants to see me every two week now. today i am almost 31 weeks pregnant, so i have an appointmet on monday and today is friday. i've been very uncomfortable at night trying to sleep. she is very low and it makes me pee every 10 minutes it seems like. and it's hard to find a comfortable spot with this big belly. i had a dream about sofia last night. i dreamt that she had weird little green eyes.(her father has green eyes) i just hope she looks normal. olivia was a beautiful baby. sometimes biracial babies are a weird mixture of each parent. i really don't want her to have blond hair or red hair. i have this little prayer that i pray every night before i go to sleep. thats when i don't fall asleep too fast.
DEAR GOD, PLEASE BLESS BABY SOFIA
PLEASE LET HER BE HEALTHY FROM THE INSIDE TO THE OUTSIDE
PLEASE LET HER BE BEAUTIFUL FROM THE INDISE TO THE OUTSIDE
PLEASE DON'T LET HER HAVE RED HAIR
PLEASE DON'T LET HER HAVE CROSSED EYES
PLEASE DON'T LET HER HAVE SHORT ARMS
THANK YOU FOR THIS CHILD AND PLEASE LET HER BE SPRITUIAL AND KNOW WHO YOU ARE
and that's the end of my prayer. i pray about her eyes beccause we have a lot of cross eyes people in my family. and i pray about her arms because my hubby's arms look a bit short, not like a dorf but just a tad short. so i pray that she is normal. and i pray that she is a calm person because her sister is very hyper. :)
i guess the last thing that i will write about my 29 weeks is that i found some money in the mall and it made me feel that my bad days are going to be over. my hubby has been laid off of work for a long time now and i feel that has robbed me of my happiness. especially because it made me a bit bitter and unhappy and i didn't enjoy olivia as much as i should have from when she was 7 months until she wass around two. because i was always worring about money. so now i make sure to play with her more, show her that mommy is happy to be her mommy, and that she is special and i'm glad that she is my daughter. i think that i should have been a better mother those days and should have been happier. but i've changed alot and it's a goal everyday to show her that life is beautiful and to enjoy everyday to the fullest.

i am 30 weeks pregnant right now and i don't have too much to say about that. but i'm very excited that she will be here before we know it. i will be very busy with the upcoming months until she is born. olivia has her first dance recital coming up in may. and it's the same weekend that sofia is due so i am hoping that i don't miss anything. she has her first dance pictures coming up in april. we have easter to plan for, the baby shower, and all of her dress rehersals for her recital. so we will be pretty busy. and i have to registure her for preschool at the end of march. i hope there is a spot for her because they have spots for poorer people and since donny is laid off we won't have to pay for this really expensive great preschool. i will post an enrty when i find out she's been accepted... so wish me luck!!!

26 Weeks pregnant

I've felt very good this week and it feels good to be able to eat and enjoy food again. It's harder having a three year old than working a job this pregnancy. I struggle with bending over to clean up messes and doing laundry. So since Olivia is capable of picking up her own things I often ask her to help me. I sleep as much as I can and I'm trying to walk as much as I can. The only thing that is wrong that the books say that I should be going through is constipation. And it annoys me to wake up having to take a dump every morning. That's not nice to say but a plus about that is I haven't been gaining weight like crazy. I think I've gained 15 pounds so far. I just don't like bad smells in the morning on an empty stomach, it makes me sick. Today I had a glucose test to make sure I don't have gestational diabetes. Olivia had a doctors appointment today because she has been complaining of a sore throat. So Donny dropped me off and took Olivia to her appointment. When he came back he was in a crappy mood, he was a mean jerk today.

5 months prego already

This pregnancy is going by so fast. I was 5 months pregnant on Monday, today is already Thursday and I had a doctor's appointment also on that day. I was anticipating this one because we had our ultrasound right before Christmas and the lady that did the ultrasound didn't give me all the baby's information even though I kept asking. With the first ultrasound the tech told me the thickness on the baby's neck looked normal. And the 4 chambers of the heart were closed as well as the baby's back of the spine. She was very detailed but I was worried after this one. And because of the holidays I had to wait until Monday January 3rd to hear back from the doctor. He assured us that she was okay. I just knew it was a boy when she said it was a girl Olivia started arguing that she was wrong. But I am happy that it's a girl. The day we found out I took Olivia shopping and we bought a the baby a onesie thats says little sister. She still says...but I wanted a boy.

2nd Trimester

Well I went to the doctor’s the other day because a week ago I had to go to the hospital because I couldn’t keep anything down. I got to hear the baby’s heartbeat again and I just love hearing the sound of pound, pound, pound. I will be 14 weeks pregnant on Monday 15th 2010. I will be in my second trimester and thank god for that. So hopefully I am giving up throwing but I will have to go through those lovely leg cramps in the middle of the night. That is going to suck. I remember when I was pregnant with Olivia waking up in the middle of the night screaming like someone was killing me. I will just be glad when I can eat again. I read that I should gain around 4 pounds the first trimester and I’ve lost 10 pounds. The thing that helped me the most was keeping food in my belly. I have to eat something small every two to three hours. I am not having anymore kids after this. I do not want to go through this again. Especially trying to take care of two kids, throwing up, being tired and sick all of the time. I can feel the baby moving all of the time. Mostly at night when I’m laying on my side. I can poke the lower bottom of my stomach and it will make the baby move. I have to get some blood tests done at the end of this month, two days after thanksgiving and then my doctor will order an ultrasound. I’m excited to know what it is. I’m hoping I find out before Christmas. I will wrap up the news for my parents and then Donny’s as a Christmas present.

Back in the ER

Back in the ER

Thursday night Olivia and I were watching t.v. in my bed and she got mad at me and starting hitting me. She may look little and innocent but she went wild on me hitting me with her curious George doll. She has a horrible temper like her father. So I yanked the monkey out of her hand and she starting hitting me with her itty bitty hands. So I kept pushing her away from me. I was feeling sick that is why I was laying down in the first place. She got really mad because I pushed her down and she hit her butt. So she gets up and kicks me in the stomach. I screamed so loud like someone was killing me. I have been in and out of the hospital since I’ve been pregnant. My mom heard all of the commotion and started yelling at her. So I called Donny and told him I was on my way to the ER cause Olivia kicked me in the stomach. To make a very long story short, I had to take this tiny three year old to the ER with me and I felt like an idiot. They checked the baby’s heartbeat and they checked me out to make sure the baby was okay. Olivia got to hear the baby’s heartbeat for the first time. So I wanted to write down the date which was Thursday November 11th 2010. I told Donny the baby isn’t born yet and she is already kicking the poor thing.

THE NEW LIFE UNDER MY HEART

I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT BEING PREGNANT RIGHT NOW. I FOUND OUT VERY EARLY ABOUT THIS BABY BECAUSE I WAS TRYING VERY HARD TO GIVE OLIVIA A BROTHER OR A SISTER. I PLANNED ON HAVING TWO CHILDREN WITH MY HUBBY WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT MARRIAGE AND HAVING CHILDREN. AND I WANTED THEM TO BE 2 YEARS APART. SO THIS BABY WAS PLANNED AND WANTED AS WELL AS THE FIRST CHILD. TODAY I AM 13 WEEKS PREGNANT GOING INTO MY SECOND TRIMESTER. AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE THROWN UP SO BADLY IN MY LIFE. I'VE BEEN SICK FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS. THIS PAST WEEKEND HAS BEEN THE FIRST TIME I'VE FELT OKAY. I HAVE A FEW PICTURES I WILL POST THAT I HAVE IN MY PHONE. THEY ARE OF MY PREGNANCY TEST WHEN I FOUND OUT AND OF ME IN THE HOSPITAL. WHEN I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT I WAS IN THE MALL WITH OLIVIA. DONNY WANTED TO KNOW IF HE GOT ME PREGNANT OR NOT AND ACCORDING TO OUR SCHEDULE I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE A TEST THAT DAY. SO I BOUGHT A TEST...WENT TO THE BATHROOM IN THE CHILDREN'S PLACE...AND THE REST IS HISTORY. OLIVIA WAS WITH ME..BUT I DIDN'T TELL HER UNTIL I WAS SICK ALL OF THE TIME AND DONNY WAS TAKING CARE OF HER ALL THE TIME. SHE TOLD ME THAT I WAS LAZY SO I TOLD DONNY IT WAS TIME. AND I AM SO EXCITED THAT I AM HAVING ANOTHER BABY. I GET TO FEEL ANOTHER BABY GROW INSIDE OF ME. IM HAPPY THAT DONNY AND I ARE GOING THROUGH ANOTHER CHAPTER IN OUR LIVES TOGETHER. OLIVIA IS HAPPY SHE IS GOING TO BE A BIG SISTER. SHE IS EXCITED TO FEED AND CHANGE THE BABY, AS WELL AS I AM. AND BOTTLES AND MORE PASSY'S. I AM STARTING A NEW BLOG JUST FOR THIS BABY SO ONE DAY HE OR SHE CAN READ ABOUT HOW HAPPY I WAS AND WHAT I WENT THROUGH.
