Day 2 baby led weaning - avocado
Just pictures tonight.
This is an after shot. She was pretty tired tonight. But she actually got some big chunks off her fingers and into her mouth.
Tomorrow night I may try a banana. But on the FB page, they recommend carrots or broccoli because fruits can be slippery and therefore frustrating.
We shall see....

Baby Led Weaning/Solids- day 1
I have been doing a lot of research on BLW. Emma is now 6 months, and ready to start. So last night I put her in the high chair with just her diaper and a bib. And I placed 2 pieces of sliced avocado on her tray. She didn't "eat" that much. But she did try and put it in her mouth. She seemed interested.
We will try avocado again tonight and then we will move to bananas.
I have some videos to post, but will have to wait until tonight.

Emma's Birth Story
It was Saturday Jan 14th and I had a pretty ambitious day laid out for us. There was so much that I wanted to get done before the 18th (scheduled induction day). First was a trip to Ikea in College Park to pick up some dressers for the boys' room. Then to pay my grandparents a visit (since they live right down the street from Ikea) and who knows when I would be able to get my act together after Emma was here to go visit them. And, I hadn't seen them since Christmas Eve and I just wish I could see them more...
Anyway, Daniel thought I was crazy for wanting to go to Ikea on a Saturday, and he was right, it was a little overwhelming especially since I walked through every showroom and wanted to look at everything. Did i mention that Daniel stayed in the car since all three kids fell asleep??? So, it was me and 1000+ of my closest friends roaming Ikea. I knew what I was in search of but of course would get side tracked in the picture frame and organizing sections.
After about 90 minutes, I was loaded upend in the check-out line when Daniel calls and says that Hank needs to use the potty. So i leave my cart praying that no one takes it, I walk outside and as you can imagine Daniel is parked in the furthest spot away from the door where no other cars will come close to scratching our car (this is one thing I love and dislike at the same time about my honey). So, I grab Hank and take him inside to use the facilities (of course, I have to go as well - and did I mention that I lost my mucous plug that morning??? Is that not the grossest word ever???) Hank then helps me check-out and by this time, it has been 2 hours that Daniel has been in the car, so he is eager to leave Ikea and get to my grandparents house to eat and then go home, watch some football and fall asleep.
So, we get to my grandparents house and sit down and eat, then I start to not feel so good. I feel a little nauseous. Then I feel like I have to go to the bathroom. I come back to the table and I just feel like something is off. I then feel the need to run to the bathroom and I get sick...I feel like the baby is coming out. So, we quickly gather the kids (luckily my parents are also at my grandparents house as well and they help get everyone in our car.) Mom takes dad home, switches cars, and meets us at the hospital. Michael and Katie get a phone call and they also meet us at the hospital to take our car and kids home, Katie then brings our little car back to us, so Daniel has a way to get home later on that night (after we have Emma).
I call the doctor on the way to the hospital and I'm not having regular contractions, but my water might have broken or I might have peed myself (which is not an uncommon thing in pregnancy). I have the on-call schedule for my doctor's office and I know that Dr. Penn is on call on the 14th, and he is one of my favorite doctor's at my practice. He delivered Jake. So, we get to the labor and delivery floor and I get checked into the Triage. Dr. Penn checks me and I am only 3.5cm, water not broken and I am not contracting regularly. They are going to let me walk around for about an hour to see if there is any cervical change to indicate that I am in labor. I have never been into labor without pitocin before, so this is all new to me. So, instead of walk...I am doing squats, I am skipping, I am doing jumping jacks, anything to make my cervix CHANGE!!! The deep squats seem to be the most effective. I was literally sweating...I hadn't worked out this hard in 9 months. So, around 9pm, Dr. Penn checks me again, and I am only at 4cm, but still not contracting AT ALL! So, I ask him to strip my membranes. This is the worst pain ever. It feels like he is jamming his hand up there so far and then trying to stretch everything out. It was horrible...but it WORKED! I started having all kinds of contractions...and they were strong and regular. Oh, also, during my walking around, Daniel went down to the lobby to find a TV and watch the end of the 49ers/Saints game and the Patriots/Broncos game. So, my mom got to the hospital and she kept me company until the football games were over. There was no TV in the triage room...so Daniel wanted to be admitted so he could watch the games...nice, right??? Anyway, when the contractions started, they were painful so I would make some noises and my mom would tell me to breathe...I know she was trying to help, but I just wanted them to go away...all I kept thinking was, can I be admitted so I can get my epidural, please??? So, around 10pm, Dr. Penn came in and said I was at 5cm, we were getting admitted and we were gonna have a baby! Woo hoo!
At 10:30, I was wheeled into a L&D room, I had the nicest nurse, she was awesome. She called for the anesthesiologist who was amazing. I have both of their names written down somewhere, I just need to find it. The anesthesiologist sort of messed up my epidural. He said that my back didn't have very much fat on it (which he kept saying was a good thing) but that it did make it a little tougher for him to get the catheter in to my back. He had to do the epidural twice and said I may get a spinal headache a day or two after giving birth. My good friend Dana had one of these before so I knew it would be awful if I did get a headache. Anyway, he hooked me up. The nurse told me that by getting the epidural, it might slow my contractions down (which it did.)
At around 2:30am, the nurse checked my cervix and said I was still at 4cm. The next time I saw Dr. Penn he came in and broke my water (at 3am). My nurse came back in around 3:45 and I told her that I didn't think the epidural was working, because I kept pressing the button and nothing was happening. I was feeling ALL the contractions. She checked me, said I was at 9cm and she quickly started getting things together. She called Dr. Penn. I had to wake Daniel up...I had to yell at him 3 times to get him out of bed. Then he wanted to brush his teeth and I almost kicked him out of the room. I said (probably screamed at him) "There is no time to brush your teeth!!!" Dr. Penn and the nurse got everything together VERY quickly and at 4am, I was crying due to the pain, and I said to Dr. Penn - this baby is coming out NOW! They got my legs in the stirrups or whatever they are called. Daniel and the nurse pulled my legs back toward me and I pushed once to get her head out, and then one more time for her body. At 4:10am, Emma was here!!! They gave her right to me and Dr. Penn had to run to deliver another baby, but he came back shortly thereafter! It was quite the experience.
Emma was so pink and had the darkest hair and A LOT of it! She was 7 pounds, 6.8oz. She was 19.25" long. She was gorgeous! They gave her to me right away and she started eating! Then she went to sleep for a while.
Teresa took her kids down to NC on Friday for the long weekend. We called them Saturday and told them we were on our way to the hospital. We weren't sure if we were going to be admitted, so we called them when she was born and my in-laws came to the hospital the next day.
It was Sunday, and I had the spinal headache already...I was so exhausted because I didn't get any sleep the night before. Michael was GREAT! When Daniel got home in the morning, Michael took the three kids to his house, so Daniel could get some sleep. Then, Michael and Daniel came to the hospital with the kids so they could meet their new baby sister. This was the best part...the kids (Elli and Hank) were OVER THE MOON! They wanted to hold her and pass her back and forth to each other, it was so sweet. Elli ended up spending the day in the hospital room with me. She took a shower with me and everything...I can never get a shower by myself. I felt a little better in the afternoon and my friend Siobhan came to visit - she brought the yummiest brownies - so good! My in-laws came, my grandparents, my dad. It was great to see everyone.
On Monday, I was ready to go home. I just wanted to get home and sleep in my own bed without being poked or prodded. So, after they did all Emma's checks, I lied about not having a headache (so I could get out of there) and we were discharged! Thank goodness my mom stayed over to help me the next few days. I really did not feel great. And, Teresa helped out with Elli, Hank and Jake taking them overnight on Tuesday night. It was weird just having the baby to watch on Tuesday night.
ANyway, this is really long and I think I am going to stop writing. The delivery was great, the nurses were awesome and I absolutely love Chesapeake Women's care and Dr. Penn!

30-Day Clear the Clutter Challenge
Stacie from Motherhood on a Dime just posted this Challenge...and I so feel like I need to DECLUTTER my life...Declutter the Toys, the books, the JUNK. My in-laws got me a paper shredder for Christmas and I need to get it out of the box and start decluttering my mail and all the crap that I save. UGH! Emma will be here sooner rather than later...so why not!!!
I will start off small with baby steps - my mail cabinet. I also have my stack of Christmas cards staring at me and I need to get a few binders from Walmart because I saw the cutest idea on Jamielyn's blog, I heart nap time to organize and keep Christmas cards every year. I love getting Christmas cards and I love seeing how much all my friends' kids have grown and it would be neat to keep them all filed by year in a binder. I definitely have last year's cards and this year's cards, so somewhere to start!
With the baby coming, I also need to start getting serious about the other kids' rooms. Elli's could use some updating and the boys' room just need a whole lot of help. I bought them name decals almost a year ago and they are sitting in my hall closet collecting dust. So, I have a list of things that I would like to accomplish before Emma makes her big arrival.
Speaking of Emma - it was a little crazy at work today. I was feeling all kinds of pressure down there. And, my back has been starting to ache - like bad menstrual cramp feeling. Since I have never been into labor naturally, I am nervous that something will happen that I am not prepared for. God forbid I don't get my epidural!!! I know that women do it all the time...I just don't want to be one of those women - I like my relaxed labor - watching Grey's or Sunday football and then a little drama when I have to push for 10 minutes or so (I'm sure it will be quicker this time around). I remember with Hank, I had to check-in at 7:30pm on a Thursday night and it was the season premiere of Grey's anatomy and right as it was starting, I was getting my epidural and I was hoping the doc would just let me watch it while he was doing the whole needle thing...not so much, I had to hunch over and look at Daniel. Grey's is new tomorrow night, maybe I will go into labor then - ha!!!
Alright, I gotta get back to menu planning and couponing...
Goals for 2012, so far - still working on a BIG list:
1. Organize my life - financial, clutter, etc.
2. Go on at least one date night with Daniel at least once a month
3. Take the kids back to Great Wolf Lodge (we had so much fun in December)
4. Buy at least 2 more chairs for our dining room set - 6 is not cutting it anymore
5. COUPON and menu plan
6. I know I have more...I wrote them down in my notebook, but can't remember anything at the moment.
7. More to follow!

Okay, as I type this, I am 37 weeks pregnant with baby #4...I am so over this pregnancy. I go to the doctor once a week now and I was already measuring 1cm dilated last week. I hope there is some progress this week when I go. I need to start getting out and walking...
Here are my stats from last week - 36 weeks:
Weight: +22 lbs
BP: 101/72 (which is a little high for me)
Baby's HR: 138
Everything is on track for me to have another induction the week of January 17th...at least that is what I am planning.
The holidays were CRAZY!!! We didn't leave the state of Maryland, but managed to travel all over or so it felt. I felt terrible the whole time and eventually went to the doctor on Monday, the 26th. Upper respiratory infection - awesome! Elli then came down with something the week after Christmas - just a virus...
I am now in organizing and simplifying mode - getting rid of all my tupperware (especially the ones with mismatched lids - there is nothing more annoying to me). I got new pots and pans for Christmas so I am recycling my old ones...I hope you can recycle them - they are in the yellow bins...we'll see if they take it later this week...
Christmas decorations, tree, etc came down after our last Christmas celebration on the 27th, then I got a bug up my butt to sort and organize the kids toys. We have too much crap. I need to donate 50% of what we have...it is so hard though...maybe this will be a spring cleaning effort.
My goals for this new year start with financial stuff - get my financial house in order and get rid of my one credit card...it is annoying that I carry a balance and I really need to get serious about getting rid of it. I have been following a lot of money saving mom blogs, and hopefully they will give me a jump start and motivation to follow through. It will be tough for the 6 weeks where I am not working...and our maternity leave plan SUCKS...it isn't a maternity leave plan, it is short term disability and it is just crap. I love my company (well, I love the people that I work with) but the benefits are not that awesome when it comes to maternity leave...I will keep harping on the President until he fires me or until he retires...
Packing my bag for the hospital - this has been quite a challenge for me. I think because I am just lazy right now and I keep putting it off because I know that I will probably have to be induced and it will be a night before I am scheduled to have the baby. The problem is that with my last pregnancies it was always hot out, so I didn't need to really bring anything EXTRA. This time it will be freezing out and I just feel a little unprepared. Oh well, my strategy is LESS is MORE. As long as I can take the laptop and get a connection at the hospital, all will be fine. I will only be there for a day or two...
I installed the car seat this morning, after washing everything so it smells wonderful! It will be weird to have 4 car seats in our suburban. We will no longer be able to take the camry anywhere - for emergency cases, we were able to fit 3 car seats in the camry by slamming the doors shut, but not anymore...no room for 4!
Jake started his new "structured" playgroup this morning. It is a one-on-one intense learning environment. He cried the almost the whole time he was there. The poor guy, in the past month, he has been to a neurologist, he has seen a sensory specialist, Thursday he is having his hearing checked, and we are still waiting on confirmation back from Kennedy Krieger to see if they will schedule us an appointment at their Center for Autism Related Disorders. The structured playgroup is a free program offered by our county infants and toddlers program. I love the county program and have been very satisfied with them so far. Jake is 27 months old and not talking. He babbles, but he doesn't say "Mama" or "Dada" or "Baby" - none of the words he is "supposed" to be able to say around the 12-15 month range. So, he will go 3 days a week for 90 minutes each day to be seen by an Occupational Therapist, a Speech Pathologist and a Sensory Specialist. We have been doing a lot with the sensory "diet" and he seems to be comprehending things more now, but not vocalizing anything...so, I hope this playgroup helps him. They thought he might be on the Autism Spectrum, and they might still think this. But, I had him evaluated by Dr. Marc Disabella from Children's Hospital and he said he thinks he just has a developmental speech delay. More to follow on his progress later. He is such a sweet boy.
Hank is just as lovey as ever. He does this "thing" where he kisses my whole face. He kisses my eyes, both of my cheeks, my chin, my forehead, my nose, and my lips and he is just so freaking adorable. It just melts my heart. I hope he always does this to me. He also tells everyone all the time that he loves them...could there be anything more sweet???
Elli is also doing extremely well. She was very interested in where Santa lives and why we celebrate Christmas and how old is Jesus? She is so cute and in this questioning sort of phase right now. She is also goofy as ever.
Anyway, this is a long overdue update...
Did I say that I am DONE with this pregnancy??? Who knows maybe I will go into labor naturally??? Ha!!!

I'm on a roll...
I am trying to think of a list of things to do once this baby gets here...or better yet, a list of things not to do. This idea for the list came to me this morning as I was complaining to my husband that our 2-year-old (almost - October 4th he will be 2) needs to sleep in his own bed because he was waking me up in the middle of the night and climbing all over me trying to get to a mole on my arm that he is obsessed with. It used to be nipples - his, mine, Daniel's...thank goodness he stopped with the nipples, but clearly he likes bumps...
So, rule #1 for Emma - no sleeping in our bed - PERIOD! As I said this, Daniel kind of chuckled and laughed because he knows that I love LOVE love breastfeeding in bed. I think there is no better way for the baby (and Mommy) to get much needed rest. So, this is going to be a tough one for me. Are there things that you would want to re-do or do over with your kids? One part of me says that they won't be little forever, and I really do like to cuddle and snuggle with them. I love it when Elli asks me for some snuggles. There is nothing that warms my heart more and I am more than willing to give in. Ugh, I think my list is going to be more of a challenge than anything else.
On another note...I finished the book, One Day. Anne Hathaway is in the movie that is based on the book. I started reading it when Hurricane Irene hit and I wasn't that into it. I finished it and was so MAD. It has the WORST ending EVER. I thought I wanted to see the movie, but based on reading the book, I will NOT go see the movie. My brother, Michael, and his wife saw it this weekend and Michael said it was so SAD! Obviously someone dies...but it was a really terrible ending and I will NOT go see the movie. The ONLY good thing about the book, is that I really liked the main character's name - Dexter Mayhew. I love the nickname Dex! But, that is IT!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVED the book, The Help! I finished this book in a little bit over a day, I couldn't put it down. I am dying to see the movie too!!! Anyone want to go and drag me with you???
This weekend, I also rented, Something Borrowed...which incidentally, I also bought the book, but have yet to read it. It was a cute movie and I love Ginnifer Goodwin and Kate Hudson...not to mention the hot guy who is caught in the middle! So, I will be starting this book as soon as I can. I also downloaded the Kindle App for our (Daniel's) iPad, and bought Water for Elephants...anyone read the book???
Anyway, we had a fabulous weekend and there will be another post on that later this week!!!
TTFN!
Have a great week - stay dry - it is supposed to rain all weekend here! But, it is cool...which is nice!!! My jeans have been calling me, I can still fit into my 8s!!!
