Greetings fellow homosapiens,
There is always something to deal with, for real. If its not a money problem, its a pooping problem. If it isn't a pooping problem it is a headache problem, school problem, neighbor problem, maintenance problem, table problem etc etc. I am sick of it. Why can't everything just be happy go lucky. Why does the world revolve around money. Drives me nuts.
Good Note: I got accepted for the renal dialysis technician program in September
Bad Note about the good note: I will have class from 8am to 12:55pm and have to work second shift so that will be from 2:30pm to 10:30pm. When am I going to ever see my son. Yes it is temporary but STILL. Breaks my heart thinking about it
Good Note: I'm still madly in love with my boys :)
Bad Note: figuring out a money situation for the next month of my maternity leave is horrid. Yuck. Hate it.
Good Note: Axton woke up today with 10 extra rolls on his legs.
Bad Note: Ants are back. I Have a bugphobia not joking.
Bad Note: This equals massive amounts of anxiety attacks. Yes, even with ants.
Now, I must speak of PMS. Cody hasn't experienced dealing with this for quite some time. Oooooh my goodness. Before Axton, I never really got PMS at all. Now, its full bore. Woofta. I think today I have gotten mad for no reason at least 100 times. I mean really, whats even wrong with getting mad at EVERY. LITTLE. THING? Pfff, In Cody's words, "I think every woman PMSing should be put into a box and put in a room where no one on the outside world should have to deal with them" I can't be that bad can I? Granted, once second I am SOOO happy and smiling and laughing...then I see an ant and my face gets red and I am screaming. It could be worse I told him, I could be Bi-Polar and be like this every day :) :)

List Bliss
1. I haven't blogged since February 16th. I think something is wrong with this.
2. I haven't blogged in this long because I am immensely enjoying spending time with my baby and I just can't seem to pry myself away from him.
Could you?
3. I was 130 pounds when I first was pregnant, the day Axton was born I was 177 pounds, and 9 weeks later I am 140. So I have 10 more pounds until I am back to before baby weight. Although I'm not sure its going to be an easy 10 pounds to lose.
4. Student loans are really ticking me off and I wish they would disappear. Granted I am only paying 1 out of 1999000 of them at this point, but all of them will kick in, in September if I am not in school..and my monthly student loan payments will be roughly 470 a month. This makes me want to keel over.
5. When I applied to school for the Renal Dialysis Technician program, there was 2 spots open in the program for September and they were reviewing 4 applications. Now it says the program is full and 2 people are on the waitlist. Do you think they have sent me any sort of letter stating which position they have placed me? In the program or not in the program, this is the question of the century. I would like to call and ask...but I already have done that numerous times and they like to tell me I have to wait a month to find out. This is ludicrous. If I'm not going to be in school in September, then I refuse to fill out my FAFSA because that is something I dread. No school= no reason to waste my time filling out FAFSA.
6.My sister is having a baby/babies and I am SO excited to be an AUNT! I'll babysit EVERYDAY!!! After having Axton, Cody and I have baby fever. Having another baby at this point is rather unrealistic, but I wouldn't be surprised if we can't refrain for much over a year. I am SO excited..like I said..to be an aunt..and SO excited to be around another little baby to take care of my baby fever for a tad longer. Wait,that might actually make it worse.
7. I have never been so happy in my whole life. I love Axton and Cody to death and I do not know what I would do without them.
8. I am obsessed with watching prison shows. Cody DOES NOT understand why, and quite frankly..neither do I. I just find it fascinating!
9. I would do ANYTHING..and I mean...ANYTHING to be a stay at home mom. I go back to work May 10th and I honestly dread it every single minute. I can not even imagine leaving my little buddy at a day care :( Granted, my Mom is watching Axton for the first month which I am SO thankful for. BUT, after that month is over, the devastation will kick in that much more. It's just so odd because I originally never even wanted children, and now that I have Axton, I realize that I want a MILLION children. Okay, not a million. But 5. For Real. I could have NEVER imagined myself wanting to be a stay at home mom, but I have never wanted anything more in my life.
10. I am going to try my best to write more often, promise.
11. I can't wait for Easter this Sunday! I love family get togethers, they are so so so much fun and I love seeing my family. I wish I could EVERYDAY! Axton's first easter...he's too little to search for easter eggs though :)

Update on Mommyhood
Okay I know that I haven't written in forever. Oooops! I didn't have the internet at my house for awhile, and now I do so I can start writing again. Anyhow, I am having a grand time with Axton! Being a Mom is even better than I could have ever imagined!! I am enjoying all the time I am spending with Cody and Axton! Cody has been home with me the entire time I have been out on maternity leave because he dislocated his elbow a week before Axton was born and can't return to work until March 8th. I figured out the other day that I can stay on maternity leave until June 1st if I wanted to. Of course I want to! My dad has some stuff for me to do at home for work so I can put in some hours here and there which will be nice! I am ready to start wearing my old clothes now, but my body isn't...which is upsetting. Why can't you just push out a baby and your body be back to the way it was before you were pregnant? Ugh! Even if my body does get back to the way it was someday, the stretch marks will still remain. Bumma dude. It is all worth it though for my little buddy. I can not believe that Axton will already be one month old on Sunday. Time is going by so fast already!!!!!! Here are some things that I have learned about my son:
1. He has his days and nights mixed up, which means we sleep during the day and are up during the night. Hopefully this changes soon. I try to keep him up earlier at night so that he will sleep later..but he sleeps through ANYTHING. Literally...anything.
2.When he has to poop he swings his arms and goes cross eyed. Once he is done, he is completely content like he had just went through one of his greatest accomplishments. Not to mention he seems to take a poop the second Cody starts holding him.
3.He smiles while he sleeps. Newborns aren't supposed to smile, but he does...when he's sleeping. Don't really know what he is dreaming about. I've even heard him laugh in his sleep a couple times.
4.His hair gets greasy after a day..not even. This means more bath time, which is fun time..he actually enjoys taking a bath, I think.
5.He likes to whiz on Mom or Dad at the most inconvenient times aka public places.
6.He never cries. Really he doesn't. He didn't have a cry until a couple days ago and decided to whip it out for about 5 seconds for no reason?
There, just a few things about Axton. Anyhow, duty calls and Axton is wanting to eat.

My Axton
I just wanted to share the story of the arrival of my son Axton Nathaniel..for it is something that will resound in my heart forever, and I will never forget any of it.
It all started on Tuesday morning when I was having really weird crampy feelings. It was very odd because I was having Braxton Hicks..but very regularly. I had them every 5 minutes, for about a minute each. They weren't like the regular Braxton Hicks that I had been feeling, they were much stronger..but still didn't hurt. I had my doctors appointment on Thursday so I was just going to wait it out to see what would happen. The regular braxton hicks never went away and continued for a couple days. I went to the doctor on Thursday and he said that I was still 80% effaced but I was 4cm dilated. 4 cm dilated!?! I was like..what the heck isn't this when some people get epidurals!? I was just so antsy for him to come but it seemed like he was taking his jolly ole good time...I was just happy that I was making progress. Thursday night I still had the regular braxton hicks and later in the evening they turned into heavy crampy feelings. The heavy crampy feelings only lasted a couple hours..but the doctor wanted me to come in on Friday morning and get checked again. Friday morning I was still at 4cm, but he doctor told me I was definitely in labor. Early labor. The regular braxton hicks continued and I was just so ready to meet him! Saturday Cody and I just had a very relaxed day. Later in the afternoon we went over to Jessie and Max's house and played Wii. My regular braxton hicks still continued and I just wanted them to start hurting..I prayed for them to start hurting. Saturday night they got a little more intense..and when I say that I mean...my stomach would get ROCK hard..not just hard..but they still didn't hurt. Cody and I watched a couple DVD's of planet earth. He was dead tired but I just didn't feel right and I just didn't want to go to bed quite yet. At 11 o clock the braxton hicks started getting period crampy like..and I was just praying they would continue to get worse. They did. It was about 12:30 and I called my mom and told her what was going on, and called my sister and told her. I told them that I was just going to hang out to see what was happening and see if they got any worse. They did. They say that sometimes you can go into false labor, and if you lay down you can tell the difference. If you are in true labor, the contractions do not go away, if you are in false labor, they will. I layed down and the next contraction I had was SO much worse than the others. I got up walked down the stairs, had another contraction 4 minutes later in which really caught me off guard. I called the hospital to ask them if I should come in since they were about 3 to 4 minutes apart and lasting from 50 to 60 seconds. She asked if I could talk through my contractions....and I said..well yes...and she said..well you can come in and get checked if you want and we'll just go from there. So my mom came to pick Cody and I up and off we went to the hospital. We got there at 3am, the nurse checked me and I was at 5cm. She called Dr. Sorenson to seek advice as to what to do with the situation. He said that he didn't want to admit me just yet..and to monitor me for 3 to 4 hours and check me again at that point. I walked the halls and still had the contractions in which were getting stronger. I took a bath in the amazing whirlpool tub..but I was much more fond of standing during contractions instead of laying. At 6am, the nurse checked me again and I was at 6cm. She said that when she was checking me she felt something weird. She could definitely feel Axton's head, but there was something else that she didn't know what it was. She called the doctor again and he said he would come in and check me. He came in at 7am, and I was 8cm dilated!!!!! (the little thing she was feeling was his finger by his head I guess? But it wasn't there anymore when the doctor checked. Anyways, I was 8cm dilated and was soooo happy that I had made that much progess in such little time. I was very adament about going all natural...and I was just so happy that I had made it that far already. The contractions at 8cm were way more intense than the ones in the beginning, but the time inbetween contractions I was dancing and singing in the halls..and I'm sure no one would have guessed I was in labor. An hour later the nurse
came to check me and I was 9cm. During this whole process I was dealing with my contractions standing up, walking around that kind of thing. When the nurse had to check me, I had to lay down and the contractions during that time made me wish I was dead. Laying down during contraction + me = wanting to die. At that
point the contractions were getting prrrrreeetty unbearable. My water still had not broken..so I was just waiting for that to happen as well. My mom, sister, Cody and Cody's mom,Missy were all there with me to help me through everything. The contractions were getting REALLY REALLY absolutely disturbingly horrible
and at that point I was thinking in my head that going all natural was the stupidest idea I have ever had in my life. Unbearable. I knew that to make it through I had to be really mind strong and just focus and get in the zone. And that is what I did. I thought that maybe the whirlpool in the last stretch would feel nice so the nurse filled the tub. I got in and was out within 15 seconds. Not for me that is FOR SURE. It was about 10am, the doctor came in and said he was going to start to get set up. He wanted to break my water since it hadn't yet. I had to lay on the bed to do this. This means that I REALLY wanted to die. After he had broken my water...I felt like my life was ending. Literally. I was SO exhausted and I literally did not think my body could handle one more contraction. The nurse needed to take my blood pressure and I could not even lift my arm, I was BEAT. I was not even getting breaks inbetween my contractions. They would last 45 seconds or so..but they were back to back on top of each other with MAYBE a 10 second break before the next one began. The doctor told me that I had to lay down to deliver. I begged and pleaded with everything in me to let me deliver standing up cuz laying down was SO unbearable..but I knew that was rather unrealistic and if he felt more comfortable delivering with me laying down then I would much rather do it that way. I had a little tiny bit left to dilate before I could start pushing. These last moments of my labor before I could start pushing were actually very special to me. Granted..I wanted to die..and I thought I was dying. Everyone in the room new that I had hit my wall long before then, and were just giving me silence before I could begin to push. I had a couple of the worst contractions I had felt yet...and after that it was showtime. I started pushing at 10:25am. I was actually VERY relieved when I could start to push. I would feel a contraction come on, then start pushing. While I was pushing I didn't feel the contraction anymore because I was so focused on pushing. It felt SO relieving not to feel those dumb things..not saying that pushing felt like nothing because that definitely was not the case. Everyone got so excited when they saw Axton's full head of hair! They kept telling me, OH MY GOSH CAITLIN HE HAS SOOOO MUCH HAIR! Everyone else got to see his hair but me! It was such an unreal feeling to know that I was going to meet my son any second. His head came out and I got to see him for the first time. My stomach filled with butterflies and soon enough he was on my belly and I was holding my pride and joy. The child that I had been growing for 9 months..and what seemed like the whole reason for my existence on earth. I was instantly in love. I was so exhausted and so glad everything was over with, and SO glad that I finally had my son in my arms.
Cody cut his umbilical cord and it was just such an emotional time for everyone there. I couldn't believe it. Axton was FINALLY here! I loved watching everyone meet him for the first time. I just couldn't get over that HE was inside me that WHOLE time. Duh there was a baby in there..but it just was sooooo crazy to think about once he was out. Axton was 7 pounds 6 oz and 19 inches long. My labor in total was only 12 hours, and I pushed for 35 minutes. My contractions started at 11pm Saturday night, and he came into the world at exactly 11:00am the next morning. Cody and I enjoyed every second we got to bond with him at the hospital. They kept encouraging me to sleep and take advantage of the nurses ability to watch him while I sleep. Excuse me, if you could please tell me how to shut my brain off...have someone watch my son that I had been waiting 9 months to
meet, and not cry at the thought of him leaving my arms..then maybe I would have considered. We came home Tuesday night and I have been loving every second of being a mommy! Being Axton's mommy! I love seeing all the silly faces he makes, hearing
the ridiculously loud farts this little man has coming out of him, just EVERYTHING. I am so blessed in the fact that everything went so smoothly. I followed my birthing plan..and made it all natural. He is as healthy as can be, and I just can NOT get enough of him. I love with with allllll my heart and cannot wait to watch him grow.
Meet the love of my life :)

Doctors Apt. 1/14/2010
Well this morning I had an appointment at 9:45. It was my second weekly appointment. Last week when I went to my appointment, he did a cervical exam and my cervix was "mid consistency." Before you can start to dilate, your cervix has to soften. My cervix was halfway softened at that point. This morning my doctor told me that I didn't need a cervical exam since last week my cervix wasn't even fully softened, but he would give me one if I was curious as to my progress. Well DUH I wanted to know my progress!!!! Last week my cervix was high up, closed and halfway softened. This week my cervix is fully softened, 80% effaced, and I am 2cm dilated!!!! Before you go into labor, your cervix is really thick. As you go through the process, it thins out, which is called effacing. 100% effaced is paper thin..and thats eventually where you need to be. I cannot believe that in 6 days I effaced 80% already..leaving me with only 20% left to go! And 2cm dilated!!!! Oh my gosh. I know that people can be dilated up to a 2 or 3 for awhile with nothing happening..so I didn't wanna get my hopes up..but the doctor said that if I progressed THAT much in just 6 days..he would not be surprised at all if I didn't make it to my next appointment. HECK YES! Lucky doctor got to feel Axton's head, but soon I will be able to hold my little man and love him up every day!

Pumpin Gas
Yesterday evening after work I went to the gas station. My low fuel light was on..so it was a must. I HATE getting gas when it is so stinking cold outside. It is honestly one of my least favorite things to do. Besides folding laundry..which used to be one of my favorite things to do. Regardless, this is how the pumping gas situation unfolded to make my experience even better.
I am standing there freezing cold waiting for my tank to fill. I can feel my snot freezing, and I can feel my back start to throb even worse from shivering. I notice a man next to me pumping gas as well. He is staring at me. He is staring at me and won't stop. He is continuing to stare at me and I don't understand why. I make direct eye contact with him conveying the look of death and why the hell are you looking at me. He smiles and says, "did you uh, did you uh...ummm....smuggle a basketball under your coat this evening? bahaha"
Yes idiot. I smuggled a basketball under my coat. Thanks for asking.
