That I'm just going to hit the highlights because if I try and remember everything I will give up and there will never be any updates. :)
So..... I've been neglecting stats.

One Month:

Two Months: (today's checkup)
Weight: 11lb 3oz Length: 22.3 inches
Hello. Who said you could grow so fast!
And Gabby.
Oh Lord Gabby.
You all know that she has a certain.... lack of grace correct? Well while playing Wed. night she managed to fall on the cat food bowl break it and gash her shin.
5 Stitches.
5 stitches just slightly above and to the right of her other scar from falling on things. (speaking of the other scar come to find out when she is older we can have that fixed and minimized WOOHOO)
So we kept her home yesterday to give her leg one full day of healing with out any chance of running or jumping or anything, and for a quick follow up.
Last night she threw up.
I sent her to school since it was phlegm and she gets that when her allergies act up.
Only she puked at school and a few more times since.
Gabby is not having a great couple of last days here.
But otherwise she's good.
Oh and that child is now 4ft and 65lbs.
I have a bunch of pics and video up of the girls ---------> links this way including one of Gabby reading :)
Hi Dina! Yeah I seriously kinda forgot about part two.
So anyway.... they contact the Dr. and it is decided to keep me for a few hours and see how I progress. So WAY more pain and no drugs and at the check time I've only gained a centimeter. And a new evil nurse who suggests that walking may help.
Bitch.
Logic wins out and I have Alex walk me up and down the LOOOOOONG (ok it was short) hall.
Ok maybe walking is generous. More like hobbling with much stopping and wanting to die/scream/kill.
OMG that is pain I am not soon to forget.
Finally I have to give up.
After a bit the evil nurse (granted this is colored by my pain not that she was evil or mean or anything.) comes in to check my dilation. And in the, god I forget it was, like an hour or two I gained 3 centimeters. WOOOOT!
So the walking helped speed things up a bunch.
Bitch.
And OMG it was FOREVER before they gave me the epidural.
Insert much crying attempted controlled breathing more crying. PAIN!!
Natural birth is for the birds.
And the women who go through it are much stronger than I.
Finally they bring in the saint to give me my epidural.
I love her.
MUCH LOVE.
I did not get happy with the button this time.
Instead I opted to sleep.
And you know what.
The fricking thing wore off.
Seriously.
I pushed the button quite often and nothing.
The angel upped my dose.
It's kinda trippy how the pain stops and you can't feel your feet, legs anything, but you can still tell when things are you know coming out.
I mentioned to the nurse that it felt like something was going on down there and she takes a quick peek and "Yep. It's just your water sack coming out."
Uh Ok.
At this point she starts getting things ready for the Dr's arrival.
Fold out chair put back: Check Tools: Check Scale/bed thing they put the babies in: Check Bed dismantled feet in stirrups: Check Baby warmer warming up: Check
As she was arranging things another nurse comes in and asks if she can take the scale thing since we are still waiting on the Dr. and they have one coming out sooner.
HA.
Minuets after she walks out with the scale thing I have a new sensation.
Uh. It feels like something bigger is coming out than the sac.
Nurse checks.
That would be her head.
At this point the nurse only has time to grab gloves and play catch. And has Alex call for a back up nurse to clean and check the baby.
Annbalynn was born still in her water sac.
Just as the Dr. came in.
It was too funny. The OMG WTF/ Surprised look on her face was priceless.
Anne did it all on her own. I never pushed or anything. She just decided she was done cooking.
Weighing a slight 7.47
So small!
Mom and Alex kept pushing me for the baby's name, but seeing as how I hadn't really seen her or held her I didn't want to commit.
Once I had her in my arms I knew. Anne she was. And Gabby gave her her middle name. Annbalynn Rose Davila.
Such a pretty baby. Looking just like her sister.
And the weeks have flown by.
She came out holding her head.
She is already trying to roll over.
She scoots amazingly well.
She turns half circles during the night so she can kick me. (we sleep on the pull out in the living room, it lays on the floor.)
Speaking of sleep, she crashes some time between 8 and 9 pm and sleeps for 4 or more hours. (dear god I hope I did not curse that) With just minor waking up for food, and back to sleep.
I swear I'm starting to get real smiles not just gassy ones.
