Getting Sooooo BIG!!
Well I started this blog and thought I would continue with it...but.........time flies and I forget about it.......So much has been happening it seems... Addison is almost four months and about to roll over any day! She started to grab her toes and its the cutest thing ever! Well since I've been back to work the days fly. I wake up usually around five but since my little ladybug has decided her new time is either 3 am or 4am my day starts alot earlier... Don't get my wrong I enjoy all my time with her but 3 am is alittle crazy if you ask me...

OMG... They are going to be twins....
So no, I didn't have twins...And no I wasn't told I was going to have twins, eventhough my mil (mother in law) did say repeatedly that it is possible... Back to my pregnant bff Katie.. Remember she was pregnant with me also. Well our due dates were pretty close. I think mine was the 2nd of feb and her's was the 1st, or vice versa, sorry mama brain. Well the day i found out about me having a c-section the dr said I cann pick the date.. Yippeee... this is all new to me.. SO I can pick my baby's birthday. Wow God is good. =) Now if I could actually pick the month it would have been a summer month. I forsee birthday parties with animals, fairies and all... Ya know, like how Tori Spelling throws parties for her kids, Stella and Liam. I am a HUGE Tori Spelling fan for those who don't know. Don't know why, but I am. Actually i know why, she is fun and I wish she lived here and we could be friends and hang out and be in the same mommy club. No I'm not a stalker... Ok back to picking her birthday......
Well I picked a day (friday, feb 26th) and found out about a week or two later that Katie (info on her in first post =) ) that she will be induced the same day. Ya the same day....how funny is that..........????........ WELL she ended up having a beautiful baby boy Carter hours after I had Addison.. Just so funny how things work out.. And I do insist that I will be Carter's mother in law in the future. Katie not sure if we discused the wedding colors and location? =)

A c-section? Are you serious? This can't be happening..
When I found out I was having a c-section I was so flippin' scared I thought "wth what if I die, what if Josh had to pick me or the baby?" Ok too many lifetime movies one would say if they know say well.... Seriously can't that happen??? I had to have a c-section because I had marginal placenta previa.. I won't go into detail now, but for those who are close to me or for those who let me ramble on, you already know the whole story.
I can say that it was an ok, ok better than ok expereince. I can say it did freak me out walking into the hospital saying "hi, i'm denise, i'm here to have my baby girl!" Ok maybe not in those words but I did walk in thinking ok what do I say? Hi i'm here to deliver, no that may mean I am in labor, so I think I said, Hi, i'm here to have a c-section. Gay I know but when in that situation your brain does not work properly...
I remember the nurse telling me I had to walk down the hallway to another room to "deliver". I was like um my butts sticking out (I was naked underneath) and what if someone is behind me??? I also remember walking into the surgery room seeing like 3 other nurses dressed up like Izzie, Meredith and Cristine (from Greys).. I was thinking out where is Dr. McSteamy?? It was so surreal I can't even explain it...
I won't go into detail about the surgery cuz obviously thats just gross and not the right time or place.. WHat I can remember is Josh walking in looking like a dr. (hotter than McSteamy I may add) and me saying "keep talking, keep talking".. Next thing ya know, out baby Addison was here and I looked to my left and saw how she looked EXACTLY like her daddy... WOW......I AM A MOMMY....

And let the fun begin....
Well I have heard many women say they either LOVE being pregnant or HATE it..At the beginning of my pregnancy I felt great, no morning sickness, no weight gain (yet) and didn't crave too much. At about 7/8 months I started seeing why some women HATE being pregnant....My feet swole, I craved food ALL THE TIME (especially chili dogs and meatball sandwiches) and felt just ugh gross. But on a lighter note (not my weight), I understood why pregnant women loved pregnancy jeans.. Holy cow those babies are comfy! If you feel gross and huge at least you can throw on some jeans with a huge elastic band that expands for my appetite!
It was depressing at times when I would see a new "trend" as we call it come out and I was like "ok I'm pregnant cant fit into that, but how can I still look cute?" It did get depressing at times and I think if I didn't have to work while being pregnant I would have gained like a zillion pounds. I would have just ate all day and night and said "wth I can fit into those elastic pants!"

Finding out "the news"
Well Josh & I have been waiting for awhile for us to become parents. The day I thought "ok I could be pregnant" I decided after work to take a few pregnancy tests..yes A FEW...actually I think like 5 or 6.... I remember it being a monday...And when I finally saw the + on the stick(s) I was like wth!
Actually I should start over and explain how the weekend before went....My new bff Katie, who happens to be Joshs bff from high school, and her husband came to visit us from Wisconsin for the weekend. She too had also been trying or shall I say just started trying. We would talk about how to make it happen and personal stuff like that... Its amazing how open we were about each other since I just met her but seriously we are soo alike I feel like we were seperated at birth! seriously.... It creeps Josh out sometimes. =)
Well Katie & Dan (her hubby) came to visit us and we took them downtown (Chicago) for a night out on the town. Granted Josh and I haven't partied it up in along time but we were like "ok this is our chance to entertain some friends and show them we are fun!!" not really but ok... Katie just found out like that thursday before (Katie you can clarify) that she was pregnant.. I was so happy when she called me at work with the news and as soon as I answered her call and she said "OMG, guess what?" i knew it.. ok I was alittle sad for me but sooo happy for her.. Ok back to the weekend..... We went to dinner, hung out, Katie feel alseep on the couch at like 10pm and I had a glass of wine or two... Before she fell alseep she was like take a test I know you're pregnant.. I didnt want to since I seriously took like a million tests in the past months.. Like I seriously could have saved $ and bought a Costco size box of tests! Well didn't take the test, she feel alseep, the guys hung out and they left the next morning and the weekend fun was over...
The next day, still NOTHING, so decided to take a test after work since she called me at work saying ok seriously take a stinkin' test... Got home took like 5 tests and what do you know I WAS PREGNANT!! WOOHOO Finally... Now I clearly remember that day and what Josh was doing.. He was playing video games and I was peeing on stick(s) and when I saw like a bunch of +'s I stormed out waving them in his face and he was like "seriously, seriously we are going to be parents?" And I replied with "yep, omg"...then back to his games................whatelse should I have expected!!
