Switcheroo

Previously I created a blog called "Wedding Bells and Puppy dog tails" - this is a blog about [me] raising a child [Max] and planning a wedding.... Yikes! Talk about a full plate. Well, I am starting this blog today! I have retired "Baby Max" - I made his blog into a book, got it printed and now waiting for it to arrive at our house!!

In this new blog I will give plenty of updates on Mr. Max, formally known as Baby Max, all the while trying to plan our wedding that is in less than 4 months!!! Please wish me luck and feel free to continue following!!

It has been a month now, and time goes by so fast. It feels like yesterday that my water broke and my little boo bear was born. :*) Sometimes I just look at him and tears of joy run down my face and I am overjoyed with my accomplishment in life. 


In my last post I mentioned how hard parenthood is. It is hard, but its not necessarily being a parent that is the hard part, its being selfless and putting everything second to your child, that means Jordan's and my relationship too. I miss our relationship. I knew I would. I don't think there is anything wrong with that either. Parenthood is a wonderful journey, Jordan and I are experiencing this together, we just don't have much time to spend with each other, and it is kind of sad, but understandable. I am sure that once we have a schedule with Max and things have settled down a lot more, we will be able to spend more time together. I miss Jordan even though he sleeps next to me every night. 


Since Max has been here, I have been trying to get things ready for when I go back to work. With all of this "extra" time that is not really "extra" at all, I have gotten the finishing touches on my wedding dress, pretty much addressed and sent out all the save the date cards except for a couple friends and immediate family who don't necessarily need one, picked out bridesmaid dresses - all that should be done by June 8th - and well, that is pretty much it so.... I still have a lot more. My SIL, Lauren, has agreed to design our wedding invitations!!! I am so excited because they will be "custom" made and very very original. If you are reading this and you need a graphic designer for anything contact her Lauren Covington http://www.etsy.com/shop/charmandfig she has an "etsy" shop and a blog as well http://charmandconfetti.blogspot.com/She is amazing, I'm not biased at all! LOL, but really she is very good at what she does!


In the last month, Max and I have done so many fun things! We went to the beach (which really ended up being not a great idea because I couldn't get in the water and he couldn't be in the sun), he went swimming ... and hated it. This makes me sad because I am a swimmer and I LOVE it! I am sure as he gets older he will learn to love the pool. Here is a picture of Max doing "tummy time" which he hates as well. He is very good at picking his head up and looking around, especially in the wee hours of the night. 









Max looked super cute in his swimmin' suit!! I love the matching hat, he was so precious! He 
just did not like the water, at all. 

Happy First Month of Life Baby Max. Mommy and Daddy love you and could not be happier!!! Mommy just wishes she could make her blog look better. ;) I am not good at figuring out how to decorate my blog, not good at all. 

Just a note

Such a sweet little face, and not one single thing has changed except for the fact that you are chubbier and I love it. No one tells you about all the ugly and nitty, gritty stuff you go through after you have a baby. The extra skin that doesn't go back down and if it does its all lumpy, the bleeding, the breastfeeding or lack thereof, sleep deprivation, the raging hormones and mood swings that you have no explanation for, and the sudden need for a self esteem  booster. Yes, even I, the "I don't need you to build me up" girl, needs Jordan to say nice things a lot more than usual, which is not like me at all. 

Just a couple things to the new moms and moms-to-be out there:

• It is still ok to tell people that they don't need to solicit their advice

• Everyone has something to say, learn to tune them out

• Don't think for one second that you are a bad mother (unless you are doing crack) just because your baby is crying - I am 100% this person. I am constantly crying and beating myself up in private because Max cries and sometimes I can't console him

•  Don't give up on breastfeeding, and unless it is the DR telling you so, DON'T LET ANYONE TRY TO PERSUADE YOU INTO SWITCHING TO FORMULA!!! We formula feed and breastfeed Max and it is so hard to get him to nurse once he gets used to the bottle. In the beginning he WOULD NOT nurse so we chose to try formula. 

• It is ok to take up everyone on the help they are offering, especially if it means you get some "YOU" time, whether that be to nap, shower, or get a mani/pedi. You still need to do nice things for yourself because if you don't, that is when you start feeling down and blue. 

Pregnancy was the easy part. Everyone loved seeing you, now you are forgotten about, you and your husband are chopped liver, get used to it. Besides, being jealous of a baby is just ridiculous. :) 

Parenthood is hard, but it is WORTH IT!!! I love Max and wouldn't change any of it for the world, I just wish someone had warned me about how hard it is and how stressed out I was going to end up. 

Max's Birth Story

On Sunday, April 22nd, I started to have contractions around 5 am. I didn't wake Jordan up, instead I timed them and realized they were only 7 minutes apart, so not close enough to call the doctor. I headed to the couch and tried to get some sleep. At 7:45 Jordan woke up and started to get ready for work, I mentioned that I thought something was going to happen either today or tomorrow (sometime soon) and that he needed to be "on call" in case I had to go to the hospital. I packed all of our things and headed to work for about 3 hours ( I was taking pictures of some of the associates who work for Hollister so we could send them to our Home Office). Yes, during this whole time I was having contractions :) 

After work I drove over to my mom's house where I tried to relax as much as I could. Since I had a feeling Max was going to come, my mother and I ran some last minute baby errands, got dinner and waited for Jordan to get off work. My family spent our last day together as a family of 5 (Mom, Myke - step dad, Sean, Jordan and I) We had no idea we were about to welcome this precious little boy into the world! 

At midnight going into Monday morning my contractions started to become unbearable. They were very close together and so painful. I tried to look past them but after being so uncomfortable for so long, I decided to get up and walk around and at 1:30 my water broke. I was on my way to the bathroom and I swear I thought I peed myself. I called the on-call doctor, explained my situation. They asked me all these questions and then told me they would have my doctor call me back. I immediately woke Jordan up and said "Babe, get up! We have to go to the hospital! My water broke!" To which his reply was "what? really? Do you remember how to get there?" (He was joking, I was furious! :) ) 

We were told to wait about an hour or so before arriving at the hospital so that the doctor could call and let them know I was on the way. During this time it was as if there was a party at my house! My sister and mom were both awake and so excited!! Jordan went to the gas station to grab some much needed energy,  (redbull) as if adrenaline wasn't enough. I tried relaxing like the doctor asked me to, I took a shower, laid down for a while with my sister and just tried to game plan how the day was going to go. 

About 2 minutes away from arriving at the hospital, Jordan realized he forgot to pack his tennis shoes (closed toe shoes are needed if we had to have a last minute C-section, and good thing we turned around because we ended up needing one, but that is much later in the story.) We ended up getting to the Hospital around 3:45 am and it was deserted! No valet parking attendant, no security officer up front, my water was continuously gushing out, my pants were soaked. Jordan had to phone upstairs and ask how to get to where we needed to be and what to do with the car. When we finally got to labor and delivery, the nurses station asked "what bring you in tonight?"

SERIOUSLY..... DO WE HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT?

We were put in a room and I was given some narcotics for the pain. Our nurse, Darcie, was sooooooo sweet! She took care of us and was very compassionate and helpful! Jordan watched as laid there on the delivery bed in absolute pain from the contractions. I was already 2 cm dilated and 90% effaced from my last doctors appointment a week ago. Darcie started my IV for Pitcocin and soon enough my contractions started to get worse. When they reached 2 minutes apart I decided to get my epidural because I couldn't take it anymore. I would have a contraction and try to catch my breath but before I could it would roll into the next contraction. I had horrible back pain along with them, and I am so thankful we were able to manage the pain. Jordan was in shock at how uncomfortable I was. When he saw the effects of the epidural he said I was a different woman! 

Originally I was against the epidural, since there are a lot of health risks when getting one, but.... I am so glad I did. 

I sat there in that hospital bed from 4:30 am to 2:00 pm waiting, and waiting for progress. At first I was doing well, each time the doctor came into check me I was at least 2 cm more. Until about noon where I was 8 cm and then again at 1:00 pm. Needless to say, at 2:00pm when she checked me again and I was stuck at 8 cm she told me there are 3 possible reasons this could be happening: 

1. My contractions were not strong enough ( but I was on 34 mg of Pitocin and the max is 36 mg, so she didn't think that was it)

2. My cervix and pelvis was too small

3. Max was too big (she was estimating him to be between 7.5 - 8 lbs.)

Any guesses which it could be?

Moving on... we decided to investigate, we did a couple practice pushes to see what was going on in there. She told me my cervix was swollen and that he wasn't going to make it passed it, so in order to get him out we would need to preform a C-section. I immediately said I needed to talk to Jordan about it, and when I did the tears just flooded out. This was not what I was prepared for. Jordan calmed me down and told me I could do this... that I need not to be scared. I was terrified! 

Around 2:15 pm they took me back into the operating room and started prepping me for the surgery. I was violently shaking and they chalked that up to the epidural but I could tell something else was wrong. I was having some major anxiety over this procedure and I was very upset that I hadn't been able to see any of my family before going under the knife. 

I swear they started cutting me open before they let Jordan in the room, which was not how they told me all this was going to happen. During my surgery Jordan held my hand and talked to me because I was so nervous. I was on the verge of crying the whole time. I could feel the blood running down my body and the doctors tugging on stomach and moving my organs around, it was NOT painful at all, but it was very uncomfortable. They told us that Max was out and showed him to us over the curtain and Jordan and I just started balling!!!! He was/is beautiful! He weighed 8 lbs. and 6 oz. a fatty baby, which was way more than the doctor predicted in the first place. 

Jordan was on the other side of the room with Max getting his footprints put on his birth certificate and Jordan's scrubs when all the sudden I started to feel sick. I ended up violently throwing up while they were stitching me up. This continued into the Recovery room where for some odd reason my heart rate got up to 175 bpm. Not good!!!! Jordan was very nervous and worried for me, he was also very supportive and helped me calm down in order to lower my heart rate. 

While I was in recovery, Jordan wheeled Max out in his little cart to see our family. Apparently Jordan walked down the hall, stopped and said "He is chunky!" then started to cry!!! I love my sweet man!

Our family, including one set of Max's Great Grandparents!!!! 

After recovery I was finally able to hold my sweet baby boy!!! We stayed in the hospital for 3 days and were luckily released on the third day ( we were suppose to stay one extra day, but we begged our doctor to let us go because I was fine!) Jordan and I are so happy and so in love with each other and our sweet little family. We could not have asked for anything better! Max is such a blessing! 

Welcome to the world Baby Maxwell Clark Covington!!!

Maxwell Clark Covington

Born: April 23rd, 2012 at 2:36 pm

8 lbs. 6 oz. and 20 inches 

WOW. May I just say I am in heaven and my heart just melts every single day!

I have never been more in love with my sweet little angel and my little family of three! 

Max came on my first day off of work, literally! I had taken the week off before his due date (I am sure most of my friends and readers remember the comments I made about how excited I was for a week of relaxation and preparation for the little stinker) Needless to say I went into labor on Sunday and delivered on Monday! I was 38 weeks and 6 days! 

These are just a few picture of Max's "Birth-day." I will get around to writing Max's "Birth Story" but we are a little busy right now, :) and I don't have much time to sit around on my computer! I don't mind it at all though.

I knew that I already loved the little human that lived inside me, I just never realized how much love I had for someone. It is an amazing feeling, being a mother. Something I would never trade for anything in the world. Last night I just looked at Max for 10 minutes and my heart was so happy I just couldn't help but cry. 

Jordan and I are so proud of this little creation we made. Everyday we say to each other "he is so cute!!!" We are so happy with our little family! 

Week 39

Well, I am starting this post the night before I go to the doctor (4/22). Tomorrow (4/23) she is suppose to strip my membranes, but like I mentioned before... I am not so sure I want to do that. I woke up with contractions at 5 am this morning, they have been roughly 7 minutes apart...ALL DAY!!!! Once they hit 5 minutes I am suppose to go to the hospital. I am partly terrified of when that is going to happen. Let me just say, CONTRACTIONS SUCK!!! For those of you reading who don't know what they feel like, they are like the worst period cramps imaginable coupled with major back pain. OUCHIE!!!!! Maybe since I am already having them I won't need to get my membranes stripped.... maybe...

Over the past week I have been thinking a lot about how this will be the last couple days, EVER, that it will be just Jordan and I, and despite the fact that I love our son, it makes me sad to know that the relationship we know is coming to an end and a new one is going to begin. It is kind of a scary, yet exciting feeling. I pray that Jordan and I don't get too lost in all this to not be able to remind each other the reason for our little angel, we have him because we love one another. POINT BLANK. 

Week 38, getting so close!!!

I couldn't remember if I posted these pictures already, so... I just did it anyway. Easter Egg!!! 

My last day of work, geez, I am huge!!! and of course my "looks like I am naked" picture from the beach the other day! I think that picture os super funny!!!

How far along? 38 weeks

Total weight gain: 150lbs. (+31 lbs.) Geez Baby Max, you are making mommy a little heavy huh?

Maternity clothes? FOUND a nightgown!!! but NOT buying any more maternity wear, no point!!!

Stretch marks? None!!!! WOOHOO, and we are almost done, so maybe I'll never get them!

Sleep: Yea right, from this point on the only time I will be able to sleep is when he is at Grandma's or moved out in 18/20 years! Yay me :( I honestly don't even want to think about him being that old. It makes me soooo sad! 

Best moment this week: Being 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced!!! PROGRESS!!! Jordan and I talked to our doctor at our appointment this morning (4/16) and we decided, Monday the 22nd we will get my membranes stripped and if the baby doesn't come that week then I will be induced on May 2nd. SO EXCITING. As of (4/21) I am not so sure of this plan....  

Miss Anything? Honestly, I am going to miss this. Every single little kick, hiccup, punch... but at the same time, being able to see his little face will make me happier than anything else. 

Movement: His movements get more painful everyday, that is good because that means he is on his way out!

Food cravings: No cravings except sometimes I really want ice water or something really really cold! I love Sonic ice!

Anything making you queasy or sick: No I have been fine. Thank goodness!

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: Contractions, my doctor says everyone's contractions are different and mine are just really really bad period cramps, no tightening up really. 

Symptoms: Swollen feet, swollen ankles, high body temp, tired, contractions, etc. I have to remember that it's almost over and a new beginning is about to start!

Belly Button in or out? Way out.

Wedding rings on or off? on during the day

Happy or Moody most of the time: So happy, but so tired and at the same time super relieved that I took next week off of work so that I can have our little angel!

Looking forward to: Taking graduation pictures for one of my sister's friends, Jennifer and just relaxing!!! I can't wait to have our baby!!! EEEK, I am going to be a mom!

Week 37

My mom took me to the Beach on 4/13 because this was my "last wish" before I have Max. We really enjoyed ourselves!!! Minus getting pooped on by a seagull, gross, and getting hit with a tennis ball by some stupid kids!!!! 

How far along? 37 weeks

Total weight gain: 147lbs. so +27/28 lbs. in total. 

Maternity clothes? Still looking for a nightgown for the hospital. Other than that, there is no point in buying maternity clothing. I have been wearing long Maxi dresses, which work great. They are cute, fun and I can wear them after I have the little boo bear also! 

Stretch marks? None, but my skin feels really really tight and so I am worried that I might get them soon.People say you usually get them in the last month.

Sleep: Sleep... I dream of sleep. I envy the people who have no problem sleeping while pregnant.

Best moment this week: Figuring out exactly when I am taking off of work and having it set in stone. Also, I have a pretty good feeling Baby Max is coming soon, let's just say my body is doing what it is suppose to, we will just leave it at that. I will be pretty disappointed if he stays in longer than May 2nd. I'm still 1 cm dilated though, :( We go back to the doc on monday 4/16 

Miss Anything? Since I am so close to being done, I know that I will miss this, feeling Max move and having him all to myself all the time. Pregnancy is such a wonderful event in life, It is hands down, the most joyous thing I have ever experienced. I am sure that when Max arrives, that will trump being pregnant. It's just that when I think about what Jordan and I have made, this little angel, it makes my heart melt. <3 No one means more to me than them, and of course my family. But MY little family is different, they are all mine. 

Movement: He still moves but not as much as when he was in the earlier weeks. The movement now is painful and powerful, but not often. In 3 more weeks I will watch him move instead of feel him! :( / :)  Those are happy and sad faces! 

Food cravings: Eating is a chore, and I usually have to make myself eat, only because I have no room and it hurts to be full. But I know that my little mister needs his food. I have been trying to eat super super light and healthy. Especially since I don't want to gain a ton in these last couple weeks. I want him to be full and chubby, but I don't want to be chubby, lol.

Anything making you queasy or sick: No I have been fine. Thank goodness!

Gender: Boy, I wonder what our next child will be... ;)

Labor Signs: Contractions, they are a mix between Braxton Hicks and real ones. They are annoying and painful at times. 

Symptoms: Swollen feet, swollen ankles, high body temp, tired all the time and I mean all the time... today I just cried to myself for 30 minutes because I was so tired. 

Belly Button in or out? Way out.

Wedding rings on or off? on, but not at night. My fingers swell up at night. Well, my fingers swell all the time. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: In hindsight I am very, very happy, but I am also super emotional because I am physically run down and trying to run on E, I am anxious and nervous and still have a ton of things to do (packing, cleaning, saving money, etc. No one could possibly ever really be prepared for a life changing experience like this)

Looking forward to: OUR LITTLE SURPRISE!!! I am a major planner, so waiting for Max to come is a little strange for me and gives me anxiety because it's not "planned" but at the same time I am overjoyed because it should be an exciting experience!

One great thing that happened to me recently was my mom and sister threw a "Surprise Baby Shower" for Max and I. Jordan unfortunately had to work and wasn't able to come but he was so excited, we got some really great gifts!!! We are so thankful to have such a wonderful family and circle of friends!!! I cannot be happier with all of the wonderful gifts I have received from all of my baby showers! Everyone has been so loving and generous!!! Thank you all!!!!

Week 36

How far along? 36 weeks and 1 day

Total weight gain: 146 lbs. (+26/27 lbs. in total)

Maternity clothes? In search of a maternity nightgown for the hospital but I can't find any that I like, nor any that are my size.

Stretch marks? Not yet!

Sleep: I still can't sleep

Best moment this week: Being 1 cm dilated!!! Progress!!!! It's happening!!! We are going to have a baby!!! Also, I got a wonderful SURPRISE on Sunday, my mom and sister planned a SURPRISE baby shower for Baby Max, I had no idea! It was great!!! We got a ton of cute clothes and a JUMPEROO!!! which I heard he will LOVE!!! I am so excited for this little boo bear to be here!

Miss Anything? My flat stomach!

Movement: His movements are like karate kicks in my ribs and bones. OUCH! They hurt!

Food cravings: Not really hungry at this point. It's more like I am forcing myself to eat.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not sure what it is but I have been kinda sick, throwing up throughout the day :(

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: Still having contractions about every 20 minutes, a couple nights a week.

Symptoms: swollen feet, :( body temperature has sky rocketed!

Belly Button in or out? OUT! FOR GOOD!

Wedding rings on or off? on

Looking forward to: APPOINTMENTS EVERY WEEK!!!! EVERYTHING is getting so close!!! I am so excited!!!! :) I am going to have a baby!!!

My thoughts on a less stressful pregnancy!

I have been meaning to blog about all the wonderful items and people that have helped me through my sweet and tiring journey through pregnancy. If it weren't for my loved ones and the help they provided me, I do not think I would have made it out alive let alone, sane! :)

First of all, even though every pregnancy is different, my advice to all pregos out there is.... READ THE BOOKS!!! they are very, very informative and can answer pretty much any question you have!!! Luckily, not only do I have some great reads, but I also have a wonderful Mother and best friend, Rebekah, who have really stepped up to the plate and helped me out so much with all the crazy questions I have about being pregnant, delivery and life with my sweet boys!

Things I could not live without:

1. My Boppy - which is really called a "Preggle" (not sure why) - Jordan bought it at Babies R Us, and I have not been able to sleep without it.

2. TUMS!!!! - Heartburn is the absolute WORST!!! and I really have only found relief with Tums

3. Vanilla Oatmeal Lotion from Johnson & Johnson, The reason being is for the itch relief and smell. I lather up everyday sometimes a couple times a day and the smell is wonderful. The lotion itself really helps relieve any itching I have from stretched skin.

4. Maternity Underwear. Ok, ok, I know this sounds weird.... but they sit really low on your stomach and do not push on it hard, they were a lifesaver in my third trimester. I KID YOU NOT!!! They are really cute too! :)

5.

to be continued....

Week 34/35

I went to the Doctor on Monday and she told me I was measuring at 35 weeks, a week ahead... so needless to say I am actually blogging for the start of my 35th week!!

This picture is of me, at work this morning. 35 weeks and 2 days. Jordan and I also got some super cute pics of our baby boy!!! This pic is of his mouth and nose. I apologize that it is upside down.

How far along? 35 weeks and 2 days

Total weight gain: Yuck, officially (at the dr) I weigh 145. I have gained 25lbs. and apparently need to slow down. :( I am really worried that I won't be able to get all the weight off and that I will be a fatty for the rest of my life! Max weighs 5lbs. 11oz. ~ he is a big baby already!!!!

Maternity clothes? I purchased more maternity underwear and a nursing bra. I need a nightgown for the hospital, but cannot find my size ANYWHERE!

Stretch marks? No, but now that I have gained "so much weight" I feel like they are not that far away :(

Sleep: I still can't sleep

Best moment this week: Seeing my boy's sweet, sweet face on the ultrasound!!! I can't believe he is almost here and I just know he will be the cutest little boy ever! We start going to the doctor every week now!!! SO exciting!

Miss Anything? This is definitely a different feeling than from last week, but, I miss sleep, my body, peeing without being uncomfortable (I know, TMI) my feet not being swollen.... the list goes on. Just a few more weeks and I will have some of these things back.

Movement: Still moves like a maniac, but since he is head down, the movement is starting to hurt!!!

Food cravings: I don't even want to think about food anymore. I have no room for it.

Anything making you queasy or sick: nothing recently.

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: I have been having contractions about every 20 minutes, a couple nights a week.

Symptoms: SWOLLEN FEET, I don't think people understand how horrible this symptom is... my feet are hot, tight and they hurt to walk on. Being in Hollister and walking around is seriously painful!!!!SOOOO PAINFUL!!!!

Belly Button in or out? OUT! FOR GOOD!

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY!!!!

Looking forward to: APPOINTMENTS EVERY WEEK!!!! EVERYTHING is getting so close!!! I am so excited!!!! :) I am going to have a baby!!!

Ok readers, I have a question.... hopefully enough people read my blog in order to answer my questions

1. Does anyone recommend "stripping your membranes"?

2. At what point do you think I should stop working? My feet are in so much pain, and I am not just being a baby about it. I do not plan on being "induced" but I am considering getting my membranes stripped in order to start labor within a couple of days. Should I just stop working then or should I work all the way up until my due date? (Mind you, I work in a store where I walk around constantly.)

Week 32 and 33

Sorry friends, I apologize for being such a bad blogger. I've been soooo busy with washing baby clothes, and getting all of our final things ready in the room and for our delivery!!! :)

How far along? In this picture I am 33 weeks, at work, lookin' huge in my shorts!!!! ;)

Total weight gain: On our scale I weigh 140. Wondering what I will weigh on the scale at the Dr on 3/26

Maternity clothes? I bought more maternity underwear and some shirts.

Stretch marks? No sir!

Sleep: I will never get to sleep well, ever again!

Best moment this week: Washing all of Max's clothes and packing his diaper bag, which is the cutest thing in the world, stuffed with tiny tiny diapers! I LOVE being in Max's room. It has always been a real feeling to me that I am about to have a baby... but... the closer I get the happier I feel and I honestly cannot wait. I would be so excited if he came tomorrow!!!

We had Jordan's diaper shower on March 11th, It was a SUCCESS!!!! We got over 3,000 diapers!!! Can you believe that?

Miss Anything? At this point I don't even care anymore!!! I am so overjoyed with pregnancy and having this little stud muffin that missing anything doesn't even matter!

Movement: He is a little, well a lot, cramped now which makes his movements very intense. He still moves a ton but can go for hours being super still!

Food cravings: yum, food!

Anything making you queasy or sick: nothing recently.

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: I have been having contractions but I am sure they are nothing to worry about.

Symptoms: Heartburn, leg and hip pain, leg cramps, it all gets worse by the day. I still have morning sickness, which disgusts me because I am so close to my due date.

Belly Button in or out? it's an outie!! It's been an outie!!!

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY!!!!

Looking forward to: Our last ultrasound!!!!!!!!! It's so close!!!!
