Well mating that is....lol
Orion and I went for a walk today and OMG Dragon flies EVERYWHERE, many riding each other (I am assuming mating). They were darting everywhere coming for me aiming for Orion I swear, He would laugh and chuckle but just before he fell asleep he started making that "I am not to sure about these things anymore" sounds then he fell asleep and left mommy wondering about those things...lol
As I get older I have noticed that bugs, insects creep me out more & more...... did I say a lot more. Creepy crawly, flying things, yuck, yuck, YUCK. Just think Orion will try to catch these bugs one day, mommy will have to slowly count to 10 before I start running ............

owe owe owie.....
OK O pians were BAD and painful last night I am still aching from it...... Try BDing when you are hurting like that, oh so not fun.
Temp jumped up (as it should of) from 36.2 to 36.7. Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope that in 2w or 12days or for me 10days I will start testing with a HPT.
That was my last month on clomid I now will have to take a month or two off of it, give the body a break. If not pg this month I will be calling the clinic to set up anothre appt with Dr S and maybe start IUI with clomid.
wish us luck.

Tonights the night......
I should be O'ing. I have taken OPK test (Ovulations Prediction Test) for the last 5 days and today the line was just as dark as the test line which means I will be O'ing later tonight..... here are the pics:
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
Negative Ovulation Test - No LH Surge:Only one color band appears on the control region or the test band is present but lighter in color intensity than the control band. There is no LH surge even if two lines present - as long as test line is fainter than the control line the result is negative.
Positive Ovulation Test - LH Surge:
If two color bands are visible and the test band is nearly equal to or darker than the control band, the ovulation will likely occur within 24-48 hours. To increase likelihood of pregnancy, the best time for egg fertilization is between 24 hours and 48 hours.
Invalid Ovulation Test - Uncertain Results:
No visible bands in the control and test regions. Make sure to follow the above specified instructions for optimum results.
As I told this to dh his response was "Oh man that means we have to do it again...." with a big grin on his face. Men....lol
so all I can do is hope that we catch that little egg.....
here is my chart: Temp Chart

To keep DH clueless
of when we should BD for making baby, because I don't want him to feel "used". Well he has somewhat learned how to keep track of my cycle (I am impressed..lol) Yesterday he called me from work asking "is it not time to start to um you know???" I was like "what?" he said "baby making time." I was shocked but I said "yes I should be o'ing in 4 days", he was like "then we need to get busy...lol. We should bd tonight then rest a day then bd again and that should do it" ..... if it were only that easy my sweet dear man.

What not to say.....
I came across a blog about Infertility (I was doing a search, to find others like me) and this one came up. She was commenting on what a poster that wrote something to her that well a person going thru infertility does not want to hear, especially if you have not had the struggles we had....
so here are some of what NOT to say to a woman that is traveling the infertility road..
Never say these phrases:
"You can always have another."
They don't want another baby, they want this baby.
"Now you have an angel looking after you."
They don't want an angel, they want their baby back.
"At least you didn't know your baby."
Whether you held your baby in your arms or only in your mind, this baby is real.
"Did you do something you weren't supposed to do?
Did I cause this? How could I have hurt my baby?
"I understand how you feel."
Even if you have had a miscarriage, every one feels their grief uniquely.
"Have you ever thought of not having children?"
Yes, I probably have I realize that I may never be a mother.
"Be grateful for the children you have..."
It isn't a question of being ungrateful or not appreciating what I have.
It’s probably for the best
The best for whom? Me? The now dead baby? You? The greater good of the nation? This does not make the person feel better.
It was God’s will
You know my feelings on this. God as a baby killer? I don’t think so. You as interpreter of God’s will? Even less.
There was probably something wrong with it
“It”?? So if you have a child and he has something wrong with him you are going to send him back and ask for another one?
It was not meant to be
Crap. Why was it not meant to be? Who decides? Why would I conceive at all if it was ‘not meant to be’?
Luckily it was early
You mean before it was a real baby and I got attached? Nope, this does not make any difference. It still hurts, like mad. Some of us love our babies from the minute we found out we are pg.
You can always have another
Oh, so children are now interchangeable? I am sure having another one will make me simply forget about that little inconvenience of a loss. This kid, that kid, much of a muchness really.
At least you know you can get pregnant
Yes, what a relief, because we all know the goal is pregnancy and not an actual real live baby.
Ah buddy, sorry, but at least you have another one.
Yes, thank God for that, This baby was really a spare baby any way because really I want the next one more....
Maybe your not meant to be a mom
Say what!! Not meant to be a MOM, what gives you the right and what makes you so special?
my personal favorite that was said to me from someone I work with:
You owe a debt to God that is why you keep loosing your pregnancies
I for one do not beleive God works that way, why would he do such a thing let me become pg then rip this baby away from me, what have I done to him.... I don't swear, don't drink nor smoke anything, I am good to my neighbour, I respect others....Owe a debt to god, no I do not think so.
What not to say to someone suffering from secondary infertility:
Be grateful you have at least one child
Yes the person is grateful to have their child, of course they are. Does this mean they are not allowed to want more? If you suffer from infertility are you suddenly only entitled to one child? Why shouldn’t they be allowed to want another? Luckily there aren’t limits to the amount of children available, so them having another wont take away one of yours. Why should they be satisfied with only one child if they want two?
What not to say to a person who is facing any one of these (and other) situations: threatened miscarriage, bleeding in pg, a low beta, a non doubling beta, messed up hormonal levels etc.
My cousin’s aunt’s best friend’s neighbor had the same situation and she was fine
Yes, perhaps she was, but those situations are the exception, not the norm. Again, don’t be dismissive of the person’s legitimate fear.
What not to say to a person who is suffering from depression:
Just snap out of it
Depression is a disease, you don’t just ‘snap’ out of diseases. Do you think the person LIKES being depressed? No, it’s horrible.
But you have so much to be grateful for
Yes, and the depressed person knows this, but unfortunately when you are suffering from depression, all the things that you have to be grateful for do not cure the depression. Depression is not about being ungrateful, it is a medical condition.
What not to say to a person who has a very sick child in the NICU
What will be, will be
That is supposed to make me feel better?
What not to say to a pregnant person:
God you look awful, aren’t pregnant people supposed to glow?
(men = zero sensitivity). If I look awful, granted, but you are not supposed to actually say it!!!
What not to say to a pregnant person after infertility who dares to bring up any slight (or even more serious) negative aspect of pregnancy:
You asked for this / you wanted this
Yes I wanted a baby, I did not want to have pain / hemorrhoids / high-risk pregnancy / gestational diabetes / bed rest etc etc.
Just be grateful you are pregnant at all
See above. Also remember that we are grateful for the opportunity to have a baby (hopefully). No one in their right mind would be grateful for any of the above. Got that? Am grateful to get baby, am not grateful for the not so nice stuff. Accepting yes, but also allowed to have a moan about it.
(I am sure there are plenty more, feel free to add)

Clomid.....
I think the clomid is making my eyes weird, it is hard to explain. I finished them 2 nights ago I am now on CD 10
This is my 4th month on clomid 5th month of TTC and nothing, well I am waiting to O.
A part of me feels that this time around is not going to be easy either..... just a gut feeling, I just hope that I do not have to go thru another heartbreak of loosing a baby (I think 5 was enough even one for that matter) I said it before and I will say it again, I hope that the IVIG works like it did that last time.
Just counting the months that pass by again with another unwanted AF and those lovely fertility drugs that can mess you up some........................
I am so grateful for my miracle boy Orion

Prayers for another friend....
I feel like that is all I am doing lately is praying for friends because something is wrong, and I don't pray much (I really have mixed feelings about praying) but here I am asking for some for a friend.
She got a call from her Dr office about her unborn son, he has a cyst on his brain CPC which is a choroid plexus cyst. It's a cyst on the brain basically. In itself it doesn't cause any problems and the cysts usually resolve themselves by 24 weeks, BUT it is an indicator for Trisomy 18. Only 1-2% of normal babies have these cysts, while over 40% of trisomy 18 babies have them. The baby didn't have any other signs of trisomy 18 on the ultrasound, but the tech was only able to visualize one hand. Please pray that on Friday she get so good results from her amino.

Parenting examples.....
I want to mention something that kind of bothered me the other day when I was at the zoo.
I went to meet a friend and her little cousins, when I parked another car drove up and parked by me. Ok so here is the story..... When I looked over at them as I was getting Orion out of the car I noticed the women had quiet the hair style and it was a light pink shade in color when she got out of the car she was also dressed different then I, when the rest of her family got out I saw the dh and he was just as "alternative" (not sure it that is the right word) as she, three kids piled out of the car and were chatting away and laughing the parents were teasing them in a fun way. I smiled at them they smiled at me and Orion and I went on our way.
Well some point at the Zoo they walked by my friend and I and a bunch of other people and some of the comments I heard from these other parents about that family's mom, I was a bit taken back because the father that made the comment "I know we came to the zoo but I did not expect a circus either" as he laughed his kids were standing right there with him. No wonder kids get these attitude towards people it is from there "arrogant" parents. To me that is not called for yes they dressed different then most of us but they are still a family still have values still have feelings, there blood is red just like ours ...... So please keep your comments to yourself and don't poison my child's views.

Zoo Day....
Singing Ape, monkey, I can not remember what it is called. But the Zoo keeper said that it normally only sings at night or 1st thing in the morning so this is a really treat
Click on the pick to see the video
Orion seemed to of had fun but he did get tired of hearing the ape singing...lo
Orion wanted to check out the pecock, we were eating lunch and it kept come near us.
Awe Sleep
Gettin out of the sun
It was a nice fun day. Orion was such a good boy. He did not see the animals unless they were moving about. We were in the Butterfly house and they were flying all over and seemed like they wanted to land on us and at one point Orion started to cry because a big blue one came at us, he grabbed on to me tight and started to shake and grunt so I figured it was time to get out of there.

Sometimes I wonder HOW???
I have so many passwords for many different sites and they are all in my head, it is funny how I can remember that but yet I can not remember where I put my car keys or grocery list and so on.....
It has been hot here, so hot where you open your windows and you get a warm breeze.... So I go looking for a fan same with everybody else here in the city. I bought 2 but when I tried them at home then did absolutely nothing unless you were sitting right in front of it, so I returned them and I am back to being fanless (if that is a word) I would really like to find the Twin window fan that either Walmart or Canadian Tire sold but they are all out and wont be getting more in so here we suffer in the hot heat..... And speaking of opening your windows well we have some lovely people thing that they will take advantage of that and break into peoples homes at night while the homeowners are asleep it has happened 5 time this past week. You just can not trust anyone anymore, so now at night I make sure I do the rounds to make sure that all window and doors are shut tight and locked.

He shakes his head (m)
Last week Orion found out that he can move his head back and forth like "NO" (I am sure he does not understand that is what it means) But it is cute to watch. You shake your head he then shakes his then I will nod and he looks at me funny but he did do it yesterday he just looks up then brings his head (well lets it drop) forward chin to chest, you think whip lash..lol
And just 2 days ago he started to smack his lips together so he is constantly doing that...lol
He also is doing much better at walking while we hold onto his hands, he bings his legs right up then stamps them down all the while with a big smile on his face, he is a proud boy.

Orion is 302 days old....lol
Week 44 for him on this Earth.
So far Orion is not crawling,he rolls when he wants too. He does have fast hands tho, as I hold him and walk by things he grabs ahold of them, and the grip he gets on it too... He is stand with our help and almost getting that he needs to put on foot ahead of the other to move...lol
Week 44 for him on this Earth.
Week 44
Not only is your baby getting into things he should not be getting into, but he is probably learning how to get out of things that you would rather him stay in. Any cabinets, drawers and doors that are not secured are fair game and you can be sure that your baby will discover them.
Many parents will begin claiming that they gave birth to a monkey as your baby starts to crawl, wiggle, and climb out of numerous situations. He may try to climb out of his crib, or scale baby gates. Diaper changes will become even more challenging because lets face it, who wants to lay there for a whole minute and do nothing? Strollers, high chairs, and baby swings will all become victim this month as well.
What Your Baby Might Be Doing
As the month goes on you will notice your baby understanding more and more of what you say. It will become clear that your baby does know what you are talking about, and he will start responding appropriately, but only when he wants too. Questions and comments like, "Are you hungry?", and "Bring me that book." will be understood and responded to by your baby.
What You Might Be Concerned About
Has your baby taken a few steps but looks a little bowlegged? If you are concerned about this, have no fear. Most babies start out bowlegged and stay that way for a couple of years. The bones are not mature enough and the muscles are just not strong enough.Overtime your babies legs and ankles will straighten out and even up. Your baby will be running and playing like other kids and will look exactly the same. If you are concerned, be sure to ask your doctor at the baby's next visit. He will be able to judge if the extent of your baby's bowlegged ness is more than what is normal for your baby's stage of development.

Thinking of my dear friend while
she is in labor about to deleiver her miracle baby boy Jacob only to have to say GoodBye to him. This hurts me on many levels, it brings back many feelings that I have tucked deep inside of me and once again they flow. I have cried for my friend Jules because I know part of what she is going thru then I cry for my Sweet little William the pain of loosing him is back and only knowning what she (Jules) is and will be going thru in the next few days, weeks even months and then when his due date arrives more tears will be shed. Dreams are lost, just taken away.................................
I have a new Flower I will be planting in my garden this year along with my Sweet Williams and lilies there will be Jacobs Ladder blooming beside them, this little miracle will be remember with my others.
Jules I am thinking of you as you wait to deleiver you precious little boy, he may even be in you arms now.

Orion's Angel Care monitor went OFF this morning
I have NEVER jumped out of bed so fast.... 7:30am
All was fine little man just was tucked nicely at the bottom of his crib breathing and all, WHEW! Guess he was just out of range a bit.
When I went back to my room DH said he just about had a heartattack.
It has only gone off twice before and by the time I got to his room he was breathing fine, some times he goes into a deep sleep with shallow breathing.... I think he is testing me.

Next is a Duck......
Orion passed his swimming lesson, he is a starfish.
He did really well, At 1st he was like what is going on here, to splashing the next class. There were a couple of times where the pool was cold and he hated it, because we have to sit on the side of the pool 1st before entering and I have to put the water on his legs, back, arms and head.... Well let me tell you he was NOT impressed with the cold he would give I little Grrrrrrrr (I kid you not) then he'd start his little hiccup cry.
All is forgotten when we are finally in the pool, he starts to splash and kick and babble...lol... But I could not get him to blow bubbles in the water, when I would try to show him or even the instructor at times he would be looking everywhere but us.... He is learning to ignore the mommy already...lol
here are a couple of swimming pic granma took:
Just before we enter the Pool
Floating on back and kicking legs
Getting use to the tummy and arm movement
Floating on his back
In every class we'd sing songs like Row Row Row you boat and It was funny because every class the intructor would ask us to sing this song but she would always ask "are you all familiar with Row Row Row your boat?" We would all be like yeah we sang it about 5times already....lol
It was fun, he gets to become a Duck when he is 18months old. SO for the time being we will play in the water parks and pools.

My Heart breaks, I am in tears
A very dear friend, thou we have never met we found each other while TTC after losses.
I pray hard that she and her DH find the strength to move forward thru this difficult time, you see she is now 19w pg and just had an u/s that gave her tragic news, this miracle baby boy she is carrying this baby she so desired, may not live long enough for her to meet...... and as parents of their unborn son they may have to make the hardest decision yet.......
Please if you can send her a prayer or two.
Life can be so cruel....

2 week wait ....
ah the lovely 2ww, I O'ed (oveulated) on CD16 two days later then normal but hey I O'ed that is the main thing and we bd the day before so good timing. Now we just wait and wait........... the joys of TTC.
It is funny that when you've be TTC for so long that become comfortable with other knowing your cycle and you will talk about it, yes women have spoken of there cycles before but not in they way of TTC. My TTC life is an open book for those to see if they want to.
I was at my sisters the other day and there was another baby there and she is 2w younger then Orion and she is way bigger then him, it is funny to see how differently babies do grow...lol. She has no teeth while Orion is working on #'s 3&4.

Swimming canceled today do to an incident.....
this is after my friend I spoke with told me about her swimming class when her DD was 7m. She was in the water and they were going in circles with the babies bouncing them up and down when my friend noticed that ladies baby infront lips were blue (baby 4m) so she said to the mom I think your baby is cold and at that Moment the teacher came over and said to the mom may I see your baby for a moment, thinking nothing of it she handed her baby over that is when the teacher took the baby raised her up and yelled LIFEGUARD!!!
She said they came running out of every direction took the baby and started CPR the poor mom could not stand they had to take her out of the poor and support her she was in shock. While all the other moms we told to stay in the water and not to move, they were all crying and holding there babies close.
While my friend was telling me this I had and still do have tears in my eyes this just send chills up and down my spine. It ended up the baby came thru alright but they never went back to the swimming lessons.
There is a mom in Orion's class with a baby 4m old and last class the baby's lip were turning blue plus she was shivering and the teacher told her to get out of the water NOW and warm her up because hypothermia is starting.
It can all happen so fast. I truly believe that a 4m old should not be in swimming, Orion handles it well but in the beginning he shivers too.
So whatever the incident was I hope and pray all is fine.

Swimming up date
We started swimming lessons on Mondaythe 5th and we go Monday & Wed. 1st lesson was good he did not freak out. I will say he did not like the shower part before you enter the pool area, he is the type of baby that does not scream when scared he flails his arms about and then his whole body shakes then he grabs on to me for dear life...lol, then he will start say ah ah ah ah a a a a.
By the end of the lessons he was splashing with his arms and gee gee geee gggggg (that is his laugh now...lol)
Second lesson he was good, he floated on his tummy and back (I do have a hand on him altimes) and we splashed some...lol. He still does not like the shower part so we skipped it.
There is 3 boys and 3 girls ranging from the ages of 3.5m to 9m, personally I think the 3.5m is to young the baby is always shivering and her lips turn blue so her mommy has to take her out of the water to warm her up every few minutes thru out the last lesson.

Great Grandma is here.....
She is from Antigua (she goes there for the winter plus she is from there) She called Saturday morning telling us she is coming to town and asking (well telling) DH to pick her up at the airport at 1am Sunday morning because that is when she is coming in....lol ...... Talk about notice...lol
So dh got her at 12:55am buy the time they got home I was in bed, I guess she wanted to peek in at Orion so dh let her then she told dh to turn on the light so she could see the boy, dh said oh no" Y" will kill me if we wake the boy...lol
Sunday she spent the day with Orion and moi, I have a hard time understanding her sometimes (well most of the time)...lol She held Orion right away and he was good in her lap. She told me that when we sent her the pictures of Orion she cried because she was so happy he was finally here.
DH sister and her dh and son came over for a BBQ Sunday night and Great Grandma said to SIL & I that she has now seen her grand kids have her great grand kids so she can die now....WHAT! Sil (sister in law)& I just looked at each other we were like um okay then......(what do you say)
Great grandma told DH &I again that she cried when we sent her Orion's photos she is so happy he is finally here but we should of called him Noah (after Noah's ark)...lol so jokingly DH said Noah it is, as of this moment it shall be written...lol
How many kids have two Great grandma's still alive and well? The other is still over in Antugia, we will try and see her before Orion is 2. Well just having grandparents is an amazing thing since I pretty much grew up without them, I was too young to really remember my grandpa (mum side, never met her mum) and only met my "dad's" mom once (never met his dad nor was there ever any mention of him)

Lets see what is Orion up to.......
He has cut his 1st tooth, Sitting up much better still topples over in front, says da da da da ba ba ba and I swear he has said ma ma once...lol (I can hope right), he grabs for things. While on his tummy I notice him pushing up with his knees, he is not quiet there yet but he is trying.

Is that a tooth I see.........
it is, it is a tooth I see.
Orion is cutting his 1st tooth and his is still happy. It has come thru because it is sharp and I think he has hurt him self a couple of time because his hands will be in his mouth then he's start crying, so I think he has bitten himself...lol
He also has a we bit of a diaper rash I am assuming it has to do with the tooth.

Started IVIG today
Got there at 8am and was home by 11:15am.
The nurses remembered me they were surprised to see me so soon..lol.. one was like you back but your baby can't even be a year yet...wow.
So ofcourse I showed Orion's photos & they all thought he was a cutie.
I found out that the IVIG cost about $100.00 per 1mg(maybe a bit more) I get 27mg each treatment, if I had to pay for it it would cost me $2700.00 each month. I do IVIG once a month for 3months pre conception then when I get pg I do it once a month till 28w (7months) that would be quiet the cost.

Dr S update ..... TTC
My Dr appt was yesterday I am to Start the baby Asprin and prenatal Vitamins start clomid when AF decides to find me (due yesterday and no sign of her, nope not pg) Dr said if AF not here with in the week to call them they'll run tests(I don't think I O'ed last month). I got weighed and measured for the IVIG which they will call me to let me know when my 1st IVIG treatment will be.
The Dr said wheres the baby? when she entered the room, I said well I was not sure if I sould bring him did not what to step on toes or hurt any feelings (the waiting room) they said no that is ok you can bring him in next time. But I did give the Dr a photo of Orion to put on the wall of HOPE and Miracles. She LOVED the pic of him.
So here we go again officially TTC, the Dr dh & I all hope it does not take as long as it did for Orion.... fingers crossed. I can not beleive we are here once again, I feel okay and relaxed................. for now ...lol
UPDATE: IVIG is on Monday April 24 @ 8am.
I went for a blood test aswell for IG (or something like that) and while sitting in the waiting room there was a mother there with her 7m baby boy made me smile and think Orion is doing good because he is doing the same things this little guy was doing. Well when it was time for that mom to do her bathroom test (you know what I mean) she asked if it was ok to leave the little guy here in the waiting room on the floor in his carseat...... what went thru my mind is WHAT we are a bunch of STRANGERS here (I am sure no one would of done anything...to many witnesses) That never would of crossed my mind. She ended up leaving him behind the Clerks desk. Then when she came out and waitied for her to be called for the blood test she againg wanted to leave him alone againg in the waiting room...WHAT THE! The told her there is room for him in the blood draw room.
Never I say Never will Orion be out of my sight in a room full of strangers, School is the only time he will be in a room with strangers and theat will be hard. Not to mention she did turn her back on him to go up to the clerks desk to fill out the forms..... I say she is a bit to trusting in her fellow stranges, there are just to many freaks out there to trust anyone.
------
On another note I think Orion may have his 1st cold, He has been sneezing lots latley his nose is stuffy or runny and his sleep last night was terrible. He was not crying he was just sneezing so much it would wake him up and at one point I did have to go comfort him, It just seemed that everytime he would fall back to sleep he'd sneeze and wake up.. Should I let it run its course or should I call the Dr... When do you call the Dr?

All was fine then I started to try and cook supper and well that is when Orion started to freak and everything started to go down hill, I could not figure out the stupid rice cooker and messed it up burnt some of the meat (Orion still freaking)TV started to do something funky. Orion settled some and just as I was about to start to dish out my food he freaks again (this is after attempting to cook for 2hrs I am hungry and now he is too....my head is hurting...... So I feed the boy and then I realize why I feel so emotional..... PMS! Dh comes in notices the Rice cooker is a big mess I said yes I now the stupid thing, one look at me he knew....lol... I told him what happened so he came and took Orion from me said go eat have your tea relax....... That was all I needed....even DH said a mommy needs a break too.

Food Mill and much much more ......
I went and bought a Kidco Food Mill yesterday and tried it out today and I love it!
I made some carrots for Orion and it was so easy, way easier then I thought it would be I am looking forward to making other stuff for him. He gagged and ate then gagged more but he is getting the hang of it...lol
---
I always wondered how I would handle this one moment I was always warned about when you have a baby, it went well ........ wonder what I am talking about, well read on..............................
Today I was playing with Orion then I put him in his saucer while I did some dishes. When I was done I picked him up again and went to the computer to check my mail, snif snif what is that I smell......... so yup I do the smell test in front (you know what I am talking about) and it seemed fine so I continue to check my mail when this scent passes my nose once again so I figured I better check his diaper, up stairs we go. Have him on the change table unsnap his pj's then his under shirt pull out a new diaper lift his legs up to put it under the Old diaper and low and behold what does my hand slid in to .......................................................
POOP! YUCK!
I grab a wet wipe, wipe of my hand and think to myself "my 1st diaper blow out" I slowly take off his pj's and see no marks .... good sign .... then I see the back of his undershirt a big spot there, my thought how to get it off him with out it getting smeared all over..... (yuck)! Meanwhile Orion is giggling away. I decided to change his diaper 1st, and where does his hands go .... waaaaaa yuck I say! Luckily mommy was faster then he...lol. I got the diaper off only to discover that I had to maneuver his undershirt off him still, got it off but I did not win the battle it was all up his back (yes he is still giggling away, it is like he knows...) So a few wipes later and a bath I had a clean smelling boy back..
That was my adventure for the day, off to feed Orion then put him to bed and start a new day tomorrow.
I'm a survivor of the blow out.

Lets talk formula's .....
Orion has been on Formula on and off from birth. He is a puker, I mean a puker when he was a few months old what went down pretty much came up (something to do with being a preemie and a valve not fully mature yet in his tummy) Then it went away for a bit, breast milk all gone so I bought formula "Parents choice" milk based with iron, then the puking started up. Kept him on it a bit longer thinking it was just the change of "milk" no change puking still happening so I tried Enfamil A+ (had a small can from the Dr) that seemed to work so off to Walmart to buy more.
I get there and noticed Enfamil had a another kind Enfamil Thickened A+ "babies who spit up" so I thought hmmm last Enfamil work this may be good too. I thought wrong the stuff is thicker that is for sure was so hard for Orion to suck out and then clumps would stick in side the nibble and block it all so I had to keep shaking it only for it to clump up and in the meanwhile Orion is getting MAD. Another Idea buy a different nipple (bigger hole) nope still clumps no matter how much and hard you shake or stir it.Dh tried a sippy cup and then well that just came out to fast for the little man and choked so I tossed that can and will just stick with the Enfamil A+ normal brand much easier for Orion to suck not to mention our ears too.

I bought a new carseat for Orion and Eddie Bauer Alpha Omega, very nice and it was on sale I came across it by luck. I went out shopping to look at carseats I was at one of the big department stores here and I saw the Eddie Bauer on the floor with a sale price on it saying $50.00 off well .... hmmmm. I could do that since I had a $100.00 gift card for that store and all I would have to pay was the difference plus tax.
Do you think I could find anyone that worked there to help me... no... so Orion & I strolled around till we did. I finally saw someone she came out from the back so I asked her if she work the dept.(she nodded yes) and if they had anymore in stock other then the floor model she said I had to check at the till, when I turned to look at the till it had a big line up and I also thought why could she not check I worked in a similar store I now it is an easy check) I looked at her and she gave me an annoyed look so I shurgged my shoulders and off to the till I went.
Standing in line and watching it get longer and then the cashier called for help, well guess who came to help her (the annoyed girl) and guess who the "annoyed girl had to help next.... ME.... lol. So I push Orion up to her and said to her well you know what I want, she sighed and said yeah (thrilled she was) then she asked what seat again I told her then she typed in the 8 digit code and out pop what stores had some and how many left. She ripped it off the till and said here these are the stores that have them left then turned her back on me.... What a little Witch, no customer service skills at all. I looked at her and said "ok, thanks I guess..."
I called one of the stores (on the paper it said they had 6 left) they said only 2 left now I asked to put one on hold I'd be there in 30minutes. I got there and the girl was so very helpful (totally opposite for the last one) she even carried the seat to my car. Anyways she said I was lucky because as she hung up from me and put the seat on hold a couple came in looking for 2.
I was ment to have this seat for Orion. The original cost of the seat was $199.99 then $50.00 off used my $100.00 gift card and paid only $60.00 and change for it, now that is a deal. Orion likes it too.
I get there and noticed Enfamil had a another kind Enfamil Thickened A+ "babies who spit up" so I thought hmmm last Enfamil work this may be good too. I thought wrong the stuff is thicker that is for sure was so hard for Orion to suck out and then clumps would stick in side the nibble and block it all so I had to keep shaking it only for it to clump up and in the meanwhile Orion is getting MAD. Another Idea buy a different nipple (bigger hole) nope still clumps no matter how much and hard you shake or stir it.Dh tried a sippy cup and then well that just came out to fast for the little man and choked so I tossed that can and will just stick with the Enfamil A+ normal brand much easier for Orion to suck not to mention our ears too.

I bought a new carseat for Orion and Eddie Bauer Alpha Omega, very nice and it was on sale I came across it by luck. I went out shopping to look at carseats I was at one of the big department stores here and I saw the Eddie Bauer on the floor with a sale price on it saying $50.00 off well .... hmmmm. I could do that since I had a $100.00 gift card for that store and all I would have to pay was the difference plus tax.
Do you think I could find anyone that worked there to help me... no... so Orion & I strolled around till we did. I finally saw someone she came out from the back so I asked her if she work the dept.(she nodded yes) and if they had anymore in stock other then the floor model she said I had to check at the till, when I turned to look at the till it had a big line up and I also thought why could she not check I worked in a similar store I now it is an easy check) I looked at her and she gave me an annoyed look so I shurgged my shoulders and off to the till I went.

A few things
A few nights ago dh and I were sleeping peacfully then we hear this racket come thru the baby monitor ... band bang crack then his little lullabye plays then bang bang off it goes then all is quiet .... not for long as it repeats again and again, dare I go see what the boy is up too.... .hmmm No...lol
So when he wakes in the morning guess what I see, and the racket from the night makes sense ... Orion did a 180 in his crib and he was all smilies when I got him. His feet must of been hitting the side of the crib and that is also where his lullabye thing hangs.
---
He slept, Orion that is for 11.5 hours...... We will see if he does it again & if he does then it may be time to put him to bed earlier.... nope did not happen woke up at 8am again, which is fine with me.
--
Little man is rolling from tummy to back and now he is trying to roll on to his tummy but gets frustrated because his arm (right that is) is in the way, he starts to cry whine when he is stuck, ah one day he will get it.... he is Sitting pretty good still a bit wobbley but good he lasts a minute or 2.

Just one moment....
to post that is. Orion has been very needy today I am thinking it was from the needle yesterday, he slept fine last night (8hrs) had a 3hr nap today (took forever to put him down) he has no fever he is just a grouchy boy. I think his legs are sore because he does not move them like he normally does. Hoping tomorrow is a better day.
Got to go he is crying again, like I said just one moment

Needle Day......
My poor little boy got poked again today.
I arrive at the clinic and once again I forgot how warm it is in there and I was wearing a light jacket. Undressed Orion he was babbling away the nurse calls his name we go over to get him weighed. Orion is a little flirt he kept eyeing the nurse and when she'd look at he'd give her a big ole slobbery smile, that was it once I put him on the weigh scale took his diaper off he did not like that and cried. Once back in my arms he was a happy camper only to be put down again to be measured once again he was not impressed...lol
Weight ~ 14.1 lbs
Height ~ 26. Inches (I think she said)
Head Cir ~ 17 inches
he is in the 25% range.
Now for the needle and boy he was not happy about it let me tell ya. I was holding him in my lap clapping his hands when she poked him not once, not twice but three time and he cried so hard he held his breathe. The nurse was trying to show him a flashing toy but his eyes were closed so tight to even see it and crying to hard to hear us. I stood up and bounced him some then he calmed down then the nurse showed him the toy again, Orion reaches out to try and grab it he was a bit clumsy at 1st but he did manage to grab it. We then sat around for 15min to see if he'd have a reaction and at 2:15pm we left and went shopping.
Went to Zellers then Toys R us looking for a potty for him (yeah I know he still has a ways to go) I used up one of my gift cards for the baby shower and I thought a potty would be a good thing to get with it. I bought the 1st Years Disney Potty.

I think it is cute.
Orion is starting to show interest in sitting up he last about 7 seconds then off to the front, side or back he goes, smiling all the way.

Well hello AF
Yup looks like she found me, I had to take a double look...lol... I had no warning...lol... that does not happen.
OMG that just means I am that much closer to TTC again........ I'm a little scared, I am ready to try again but scared of the unknown and I so hope the IVIG was not a fluke.
Well welcome CD1 gosh what memories does this bring back...lol
Next step is to call the Ffertility Clinic.

2 nights .....
Orion has slept in his room for 2 nights now or should I say it has been 2 nights that mommy has been able to sleep away from him... It is tuff..lol
The 1st night I put him in his room at 10:30pm he slept till 4am, I woke to him babbling to himself so I let him babble and he fell back to sleep then my baby monitor when alien like (freaked me out) I swear this Angel Care Monitor picks up everyone's baby monitor in the cul-de-sac I live on (4 babies under a year old). Orion woke again at 6am to eat.
The second night (last night) he went to bed at 11:30. Before I put him in his room I set up the old Fisher Price monitor plus the Angel Care monitor for the movement sensor fisher price for hearing him, this worked much better no alien like noises this time. I am not sure about the Angel Car monitor it gets so much interference but I like the movement sensor. Orion slept till 6am I went and got him brought him back to my bed and he slept till 8:30am. Another hurdle we or shall I say I have over come...lol. Baby steps right..lol
Oh and I am pretty much done pumping I am down to one pump every other day or when I get very full, I feel guilty for stopping but with going back to TTC I have to stop. I do have a small stash in the freezer but not as much as I wanted. ...... I will get over it, this is just another step right?

Bad Dreams.....
I have had bad nightmare dreams the last couple of nights.
The 1st dream someone was telling Orion is gone he is gone and I remember in the dream I could not see him anywhere, then I kept telling myself in my dream that this is just a dream I will wake up and that is when Orion woke me he was laughing in his sleep.
The second night same thing someone told me Orion is gone but this time a could see him so a ran to him picked him up and he did nothing but he was so warm and I cradled him to me thinking no no no this is not real.............. I woke and looked for Orion next to me he was breathing just fine in his own deep sleep.
These dreams have felt so real and I hate that, hate it hate it. What is my mind telling me......

Dropping pumps...
I have decided that I am going to start to cut back on my pumping my milk for Orion, it's been almost 5months of pumping and really is getting tiring. I don't get to motivated because I have to pump at least every 4 hrs for 30minutes, it's really getting in the way of things. Yes I feel guilty for wanting to stop because that will mean no more breast milk for Orion but I do have some stashed away in the freezer but that will only last a couple of weeks. I just need a break from it all before we start to TTC #2 in March or April.
Ah Mommy hood is filled with so much happiness and guilt...... lol. You feel guilty to do things for yourself now.
Next step is moving him into his own room for the night sleeps.
----
Tummy time it not a happy time for Orion. He screams his head off then DH says why did you put him on his tummy now he is grouchy, well if I waited till he is grouchy to do tummy time it won't happen Orion is such a happy baby and well he really needs tummy time to build up his arm strength since he has none he holds his head great but just does not push up on his arms at all.

Orion's 4month needle
which I forgot about thought it was on Thursday good thing I look at his calendar on the fridge because I was about to get ready for my Dentist appointment at 1:15pm and his Needle was for 1:20pm, I had to call my mum tell her I don't need her today because I screwed up then called the dentist and rescheduled.
Arrived at the Clinic ten after 1 let them know that I or shall I say Orion was here they sent me to the back to dress him down to his diaper (which Orion was not impressed b/c I had to wake him up) The nurse comes and calls out his name get him to the weigh scale have to take his diaper off (and I pray he does not pee) he weighed in at 11lbs 13oz put his diaper back on (he did not pee, whew) lay him on the measuring table I have to hold his he against the top board so the nurse can straighten out his legs to get a good measure which was 23 1/2cm. Put his top back on and go into room #1 we sit down the nurse asks a few questions and if I had any, Orion at this point was babbling and laughing away he was even watching the nurse take out the needles getting them ready.
I cradle Orion in my arms get him ready the nurse comes over and I watch that needle enter my sons flesh (as I am watching I am thinking to myself that the needle itself looks to big to put in his leg) he flinches and cries, she then gets the next needle does that real quick then I have to turn Orion around for her to jab into his other leg when I really wanted to comfort him but the nurse made sense get the last one done before we settle him down. When she was done I hugged my boy close while he whimpered when I turned him to face the nurse he turned his head away from her so she tried to look at him and again he turned his head away from her, guess he wanted nothing to do with her now...lol.
He settled down pretty quick, we go back out to the waiting room I dress him back up sit down and wait the required15min so I feed the boy make him happy. As I was feeding Orion I heard another little wailing cry come from room #2 and it was loud that little baby was NOT happy, when the door opened that mommy and baby came out I could tell the mommy cried too so I smile at her. She later asked me how old Orion was because she was next in line to be weighed after he was done and she thought I said he was 4m old and that her Daughter was 2m old and weighed exactly the same as Orion and she was thinking OMG...lol I told her technically he is 2 1/2 months old so your DD is doing good.
I hope the night goes well and my little boy stays happy.

Shake shake shake
shake that rattle.....
Orion holds a rattle, mind you I have to give it to him but he does open his hand then clasps it, He then shakes it then laughs then shakes it again hits his head with it looks startled then tries to shove it in his mouth.
The other morning I introduced Orion to baby rice cereal just to see what he'd do, well he tried to suck it off the spoon...lol then it went all over his little chin... messy messy boy, I put the rest in his bottle since it was quiet runny and he ate the rest well gobbled it up.
well he is hungy yet again time to feed...

Orion's 4 months check up
Orion had a Dr appt today.
his 4 month check up
Weight is 11 lbs 5 oz
Lenght 24 inches
Head cir is 17 inches
he was a laughing at the Dr so she was laughing back at him.
She said not to worry that he is not pushing up on his arms yet. She said that he is using his chest to lift his head while on his tummy but his arms are going to the right position he just does not push up. She is impressed with the way he controls his head tho.
Then we went hunting for a jolly jumper one that has a stand since we do not have door frames in our house, do you think I could find one anywhere NO Toy R Us said to call them next week they should be getting some in.
That is it from here.

GooGooo Ga ga.....
I remember my DH saying that it annoyed him when people would talk to their babies in that high pitched baby voice, well now who is doing it...lol. I just sit back a smile as I watch as our little boy turns my big man into a googoo gaga high pitched talking man... oh the smile to my face.
It is amazing how this one little person can change your way of thinking, the way we do things, they way we see things, how we see things that we forgot that were there and how we get back to being a kid ourselves again, all this from one little being that came into this world only weighing 4 pounds 3.5 ounces

Happy New Year
Ahhhh What are my goals for this year.......
To be a good wife, mommy , sister and friend.
Where did 2005 go? It flew by so fast maybe because I was preoccupied with my pg (pregnancy) .
We went to my BIL brothers house for New Years. I really did not feel like going out that night but DH said yes that we'd go, it's a pain to go places right now since I pump my milk for Orion (he does not breastfeed from me) so I have to lug around my pump, baby diaper bag and my sweet little boy and if I don't bring the pump or don't pump within 4hrs my little breast become little ROCKS sometimes they get so hard it feel like the move up my chest (the swelling) it is uncomfortable, when who had babies will now this men well men will never know or yet understand my dh does not really get the full picture even though he did see me bawl my eyes out a few days after I had Orion because my breast were so hard and so so red and sore.
Anyways once we got there it was fine I was able to pump in their bedroom.
Orion was a very good boy did not cry until I got him ready to leave.
We got home around 2am I skipped a pumped and DH feed Orion got to bed around 2:30am, Orion woke at 6:30am and my breast were hurting so bad they were so hard felt like they were in my neck I contemplated on waking DH to feed Orion so I could pump, but I managed to put Orion in his little vibrating chair feed him the bottle while I positioned myself on the floor beside him and pumped... talk about multi tasking. When DH whole at 10am I told him that I was tempted to wake him and why all he said was I would of been upset if you did I finally got over 8hrs sleep...(what the&#^$%) is all I thought, he get almost 7hrs every night while I get between 4 or 5 hrs on a good night....hmmmmm
