Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This was created by MckMama, head on over to her blog to see what she and everyone else have NOT been doing this week!
In the last 5weeks I did NOT go to the Maternity Triage unit 5x before finally being admitted on my 5Th visit.
I have NOT been having contractions almost daily since I was 30 weeks pregnant and these contractions did NOT end up materializing into real labor until I was 37 weeks & 2 days along.
My Mother came to town at the beginning of April and until 2 days ago I had NOT done any dishes, laundry or cleaning what so ever!! She is leaving on Saturday and I do NOT know what I am going to do.
With the girls I was against baby wearing. The idea of having a baby strapped to me in a clingy style wrap wasn't appealing. I did NOT buy one this time around after seeing a friend using one & raving about how much she loved it. I do NOT love, love, love using my moby wrap.
Breastfeeding this time around wasn't on my agenda. With 2 busy little girls and a newborn I just thought it wasn't going to be my friend. I however changed my mind at the last minute, borrowed a friends pump and am breastfeeding Micah. And I am NOT enjoying these very special bonding moments tremendously with my little man.

It's been a long time
It's been a long time since I've posted a new post. Life has been Craaaaazy!!
Since my last post my mom arrived from Florida for a 3week visit, my friends threw me a baby shower, Bill is off on his 5week paternity leave, Addie has gotten sick, gotten better & is now sick again, the girls visited the dentist for the first time and oh yeah our precious baby boy arrived......early!
Since I turned 28 weeks I have been having contractions and dilating. Four trips to the triage to be turned away and sent home with drugs to stop contractions & help with pain. Finally on trip #5 I called the Triage nurse and this was the conversation:

Since I turned 28 weeks I have been having contractions and dilating. Four trips to the triage to be turned away and sent home with drugs to stop contractions & help with pain. Finally on trip #5 I called the Triage nurse and this was the conversation:
After giving her my name etc
Yes, I am 37 weeks 2 days, having contractions 2-3Min's apart for the last 4.5hrs."
Nurse - "And are they strong enough that you cannot breath through them or walk?"
"Yes, they are"
Nurse - "And you're how far along again?"
"I am 37 weeks and 2 days. This is my 3rd baby, and will be my 5Th trip to Triage, I know what needs to be transpiring for me to come in, I am on my way in and will be there within 10minutes"
Nurse - "Well, alright then, I guess we will see you when you get here" and she was very snotty about it!!
So we arrived at the hospital and after being checked it was confirmed that I was 4cm and 90% effaced, contractions every 1.5 - 2Min's apart & hard. And I will save the rest of his birth story for another post. Micah's birth story was something!! All three of my kids births have all been different in it's own way. Just like our kids.
Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks of the kiddos.
Addie did NOT like the dentist, well at least when she checked her teeth
Ellia was a champ!
