I realize I am hopping on the bandwagon late. I am glad its there since I am a Target addict! I have not saved a lot. However, the last time I was there I wouldn't have saved the $1 and change if it wasn't for the scan option. I think that is the best thing. If you aren't sure if there is a percentage off just choose SCAN PRODUCT. It will tell you if an offer applies or not. Thank you Target - now if you only let me use this for online products that would be the best!<br />

I am not a name brand girl. I do love Pampers. I tried Target brand diapers and they blew out every time and left a very unwanted mess. I currently am using Luvs because someone gave me a bunch and I am going to use them up. I love Pampers Swaddlers because the poop stays in there! And then you get a code in the package. You add the code to pampers.com (after you join) and the points just add up. I finally had enough points that I am getting free prints from Shutterfly. Not only do I get free prints from my points. But I also get free gifts! For Fathers day I get a free mug from Shutterfly!<br />

I am obsessed with these. I like the gooey filling. It kind of reminds me of this candy: <a href="http://www.candywarehouse.com/products/wonka-kazoozles-candy-ropes-strawberry-watermelon-24-piece-box/?F_All=Y" target="_blank">Wonka KazoOzles</a>.<br />

If you didn't watch the series when it was on USA Network (2007-2013), then you can hop on Netflix and binge watch it from the beginning. This was one of our favorite shows. It is about Michael Weston gets burned from being a spy and then tries to find who did this and why etc. While doing this he has his friends (Sam & Fiona) help others in bad situations. If you are wondering where we got the name and love the name Fiona - there you go.<br />

For keeping my little girl content. It is the only thing that she watches at least for 15 minutes just laughing and kicking away. It is still super for littles - even at 2 months!<br />

I was a bit apprehensive about buying something expensive knowing she wouldn't stay in it long. However, I did not read one bad thing about this from the customer reviews as well as the all the moms I asked. Fiona was just sleeping in her Graco Pack N Play because she does not like her crib just yet. I would have to pick her up and rock her back to sleep over and over. Needless to say - she sleeps perfectly in this! It has been a nice blessing knowing she sleeps right by me and I can just rock her to sleep when she fusses. It is well worth it and I recommend this to any new mom!<br>
<br>
<b>2. <a href="http://www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/nosefrida-reg-snotsucker-nasal-aspirator/134043?Keyword=nosefrida" target="_blank">NoseFrida Snotsucker</a></b><br>
Two weeks ago I was really sick and of course I passed my cold to Fiona. She was extremely congested and had a slight cough. You could hear all the snot on her chest. The bulb I got from the ER (because she had this problem when she was 3 weeks old) was not working. I asked my mom friends and they all love the NoseFrida! Needless to say the night Fiona slept a whole 3 hours I went to Buy Buy Baby the next morning and bought it. Mr was willing to try anything because it is extremely hard to see your little one sick. Unfortunately, Fiona still has a bit of congestion but I am so happy this little nose sucker has been helping her breathe much easier and has removed more snot than any green bulb! Ps. It does seem like a weird thing to do but you will do anything for your child.<br>
<br>
<b>3. <a href="http://www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/little-remedies-reg-little-noses-reg-saline-spray-drops/1015005769" target="_blank">Little Remedies Nasal Spray</a></b><br>
Along with the NoseFrida this has been very helpful! At 3 weeks I had to take Fiona to the ER (after consulting the nurses hotline) because she was wheezing when trying to eat and then barely had any formula. The ER had their own snot sucker and it clogged their tube a couple times. After cleaning out her nose she ate 4 oz. That's when they gave us the big green bulb and told us to use saline they provided. After this ran out, I did buy a regular saline bottle but found it hard to put in her nose. This brand is made just for littles and you can either use it as a dropper or a spray. We use the spray frequently before the NoseFrida. The bottle is actually half gone! It is one of our favorite baby products and recommend it to any one with a little who is sick!<br>

<br>
The Boppy was on my registry and my good friend Erin gave me hers because she did not use it (she has 3 boys - so that's why it's a blue cover). I wanted this to help me with feeding her because of my poor strength in my arms. It helped a lot in the very beginning for this reason. Now we use this for play time. Fiona love sitting on her Boppy! We listen to her music or just sit and have our conversations.<br>

We spend every day singing and learning new nursery rhymes! Fiona loves music and it is a great way for both of us to spend time together!<br>

After 3 false alarms. I went into the hospital March 30th. I was not dilated at all. I had to take a pill every 4 hours and then at 9 am the next morning start the IV to be induced. By 5 pm we thought I might end up with a C section. A little after 7 I was finally fully dilated. I pushed for 3 hours, she was suctioned out, and I tore really bad. At 10:40 pm she was born - thankfully not born on April Fools Day!<div>Fiona was healthy and after a lot of pain medication I would be alright as well. </div><div>I don't remember the actual pain I was in while having her. But I do remember saying to the dr I want a c section now. He said I couldn't bc she was half way out & I told him to put her back in! And anything else I said was nothing that made any sense besides "get her out / get her out now"! </div><div><br></div><div>The hospital was fantastic & so was the staff. They made the experience well worth it! </div><div><br></div><div>If you're wondering we are not planning on having another baby.

I have the app Full Term & was using that to time it. They were really far apart so I just thought they would end. But In the morning they slowly got closer together so that for 1 hour they were 5 minutes apart. I called my dr and he had me go to the hospital to get checked out. It takes 40 minutes including morning work traffic. </span></div><div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">They hooked me up & my belly was getting monitored. My blood pressure was a bit higher again. 136/80. My ankles were swollen. You could hear the times I had contractions & then when she moved & her heart beat race. I got a check up from another dr that was filling in. Unfortunately I'm not even dilating. And I thought I was having a slow leak but doesn't appear to be. The contractions were now about 10 minutes apart.</span></div></div><div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The doctor and nurses were extremely nice!

While dumping everything out I did notice I over collect on receipts. I did not have any gum or gum wrappers since I am not a big gum chewer. Which is good because I used to be and a lot of purses got ruined that way.<br />

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Thirty-Organizer-Notepad-Black-Happy/dp/B0086F7PGI" target="_blank">Thirty One Gifts </a>| the most important thing I realized being pregnant is this organizer. Coupons in one side, reminders for anything baby in my note pad, a calender from Target, and of course a Bow ties are cool pin.<br />
<br />
That's everything in my bag for now.I also keep in hair ties and my cell. I am not sure what I will have in after the baby. Thank goodness her diaper bag has a lot of room and tons of pockets.<br />

<b>What is a must for your bag? Do you keep a big bag or a small one? </b>I clearly can't keep a small one.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Besides being pregnant - here is what is going on in my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>Reading: </b>I honestly have been reading articles from the Parents Magazine I get. I do have the book "Girl Online" that I read when I'm waiting in the doctors office. I have not got into a good book in awhile. My mind is kind of pre-occupied. My Kindle Fire is well pooped out and only lasts a day and takes 2 or 3 days to charge. I cancelled my amazon book subscription.<br />
<br />
<b>Watching: </b>New shows we are into: 1. CSI: Cyber that stars <a href="https://twitter.com/vanderjames" target="_blank">James Van Der Beek</a>. It is a bit odd that he is doing something serious and an FBI agent. 2. Expedition Unknown with <a href="https://twitter.com/joshuagates" target="_blank">Josh Gates</a>. You may remember him from Destination Truth and being a guest on Ghost Hunters.<br />
<br />
<b>Listening to: </b>Pandora top stations are: 90s Pop Radio, Easy Listening Radio and Teen Pop Radio<br />
<br />
<b>Feeling:</b> Exhausted & Emotional - which is typical for 39 weeks. Lonely - everyone has their own life and doesn't have time for me. My husband has been working extremely hard and I don't get the time I want with him and I know that will change once she is here.<br />
<br />
<b>Eating / Drinking: </b><a href="http://www.chobani.com/products/fruit-on-the-bottom#mango" target="_blank">Chobani Greek Yogurt with fruit on the bottom</a>. I wasn't a big fan of yogurt this whole pregnancy. 2 months ago I could put it in my smoothie and be okay and was hesitant when my husband brought it home for me. But so far 3 gone and I asked him to buy me more!<br />
<a href="http://www.goldpeakbeverages.com/tea/gold-peak-products/flavor" target="_blank">Gold Peak Iced Tea</a> - I went through a bottle of it in one day. I really love their green tea.<br />
<a href="http://www.oceanspray.com/Products/Juices/By-Type/100-Juice.aspx" target="_blank"> 100% Ocean Spray Juice </a>- I recommend the cranberry mango.<br />
Water .. lots of lots of water. I feel like if I put it in a tumbler that I tend to drink more than in a regular cup. As if I am accomplishing something.<br />
<br />
<b>Anticipating: </b>Spring weather - the snow is finally almost melted and we are getting temps between 40s and 50s here. Our baby girl, she could come any day now & I hope she does.<br />
<br />
<b>New Apps:</b> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bubble-witch-2-saga/id834393815?mt=8" target="_blank">Bubble Witch 2</a>, <a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/" target="_blank">BlogLovin</a>, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/full-term-labor-contraction/id382013176?mt=8" target="_blank">Full Term</a>, and <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/calorie-counter-diet-tracker/id341232718?mt=8" target="_blank">My Fitness Pal</a><br />

It was well worth it! It was a time we experienced as we were really going to be parents. I did some stretching, breathing, learned how to correctly push (not with your face/ teeth clenched), chin down & hold your legs. I thought it as what you do when your constipated and how to correctly push for popping. Watched a video that was weird but informative. Took a tour of the birthing area. The room was very nice & everything will happen in that room (unless c/section). Knowing we will not have a crazy amount of different nurses because they work 12 hour shifts is nice. It's not a big hospital & I actually really like that!

I did ask my OB before taking it. He is the one who recommended it for me. I am not sure its the cheaper version of something I am sure. Anyway, it has been a lifesaver for me!<br />
<br />
2. <a href="http://www.bbcamerica.com/broadchurch/" target="_blank">Broadchurch </a>Season 2 on BBC America : Wednesday started season 2. Love this show so much. Season 1 of Gracepoint was aired on Fox not too long ago. I watched the first episode and stopped. I prefer the original. It is an intense show and if you missed the first season, it is on Netflix!<br />
<br />
3. Little Girl rompers <a href="http://www.target.com/p/chicco-newborn-girls-sleeveless-bow-romper-pink/-/A-16934813" target="_blank">like this</a>. I am looking forward to the warmer days where I can dress her up in rompers. Just like in the 80's but modern.<br />

4. <a href="http://scentsybuddy.com/stuffed-animal-buddy" target="_blank">Scentsy Buddies</a> : 2 years ago I bought two for a fundraiser for <a href="http://news.pba.com/post/2012/09/28/Former-Tour-Player-Tony-Reyes-Dies-from-Injuries-Suffered-in-Car-Accident.aspx" target="_blank">Tony Reyes</a> family. A cat and a monkey. I kept the cat (<a href="http://scentsybuddy.com/discontinued-stuffed-animal-buddies" target="_blank">Scratch The Cat</a>) and gave the monkey to our niece. The scent pack I got was Autumn something. It is still going strong in smell! I just put in an order to get a softer smell to put in the babies room. The buddies are adorable and soft. Apparently, the scent pack is listed to smell for up to a month. But in two years my cat still smells very strong.<br />

5. "<a href="http://youtu.be/VRpzJabYlQQ" target="_blank">18</a>" by One Direction: These lyrics ..<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I have loved you since we were 18</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Long before we both thought the same thing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be loved and to be in love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And all I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you, oh</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18"</div>
<br />
<i>We started dating when I was 19. Last night I had this dream that seemed like we were young again. And oddly it made me re-fall in love with him. We have been together for so long sometimes you have to remember the beginnings. Something I joked as a teenager, in 8th grade writing down Mrs.Dieter on my notebook came true 6 years ago. Any day we will be having a little girl come into this world - it's all so very emotional for me.</i><br />
<br />And that is my 5 Fave for Friday and some mushy feelings!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I will double check when I go to our prenatal class Saturday.</div>

It does last 48 hours. But I spray it on after my shower or before I go out somewhere each day. It is now ONCE a day though! I love it!

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_534337411" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> I was featured at Kate The (Almost) Great's blog for Spoonie Spotlight: <a href="http://www.katethealmostgreat.com/2015/02/spoonie-spotlight-manda.html" target="_blank">click here</a> to read about me and my story.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yesterday I read an article in <a href="http://www.parents.com/" target="_blank">Parents Magazine</a> about a mom who has MS and raising two children. I definitely recommend reading <a href="http://www.parents.com/parenting/dynamics/parenting-with-multiple-sclerosis/" target="_blank">this article</a>. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Personally, I was given the paper work to fill out so I can park in handicap spots. I just never actually handed it in... I guess I was trying to always push myself to just walk even with my cane wherever I had to. When I had to use my cane or a scooter, the amount of dirty looks others would give me including the elderly was </span>enormous<span style="font-family: inherit;">! Please don't judge </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">people when they're handicapped because you don't know the </span>difficulties they<span style="font-family: inherit;"> go through. We don't do what we do because we want to we do what we do because we have to.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've adjusted my lifestyle to my pain needs. We moved into a one level house which has few stairs. The washer & dryer are on the same level. I do use my cane when necessary and will use a <a href="http://amandablogs.tumblr.com/post/85474231583/last-week-was-really-tough-for-me-i-had-to-for" target="_blank">scooter in the grocery store</a> if I have to. Walk until I can't and sleep whenever I have to.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But now things are going to be changing and I'm going to be a mom with chronic pain. How am I going to deal? I am lucky that I am going to be a stay at home mom for a bit until we get settled a bit with her. That means I can still wear my comfortable clothes. Leggings & tank tops. I also know when my niece was born, I could not hold her for long with out my arms giving. I made sure to get a Boppy (thanks to my friend E)! I know many moms use the Boppy because it makes it easier for them to nurse. I am using the Boppy for a better hold for when feeding her. I also bought the <a href="http://www.target.com/p/boba-wrap-classic-baby-carrier-gray/-/A-14634296#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=boba+wrap" target="_blank">Boba Wrap</a> for extra support and I can still be holding her just in a different way.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I want to make it known to women who have chronic pain who are thinking about children in their future to know that it can be done. It will be a bit harder and if you're like me - you will just want one because that's all you can truly give. Give yourself and give your baby.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Personally, I am choosing not to nurse. I want to get back on the medicine I was taking so I can be a happier healthier me. That option may run different for you. I am a firm believer I am doing the right thing for me and my baby. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I would love to hear other tips if you have any on what I can do to make it easier to care for her and myself as a mom.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thanks.</span></div>

I never really talk too much about the conditions I have although before pregnancy it consumed my entire life. The past few days I am noticing some things that were not a majority pain or prominent during the main part of my pregnancy, a lot of the pain that I felt was extra back pain or extra hip pain because obviously the pressure and weight of the baby onto the normal Fibromyalgia pain stuff. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it all started about three days ago. My ankle gave out (I think). Years back my ankles would just give all the time and I would think that I was spraining them and then I would go to the doctor and they would tell me it was a strain. This would happen so many times I just gave up and had to switch footwear. So pretty much bye cute shoes and hello sneakers because at the end of the day my ankles are turned out to be a huge softball - huge! I don't know if I twisted it but it's swollen and feels bruised so anyways it's in a wrap for the third day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The top of my right thigh feeling sensation is gone, the nerve is so damaged. Prior to pregnancy, I saw a back surgeon (even though we had to put off serious back surgery) for injections to try and re-awake my nerves. It works for just a small amount of my thigh and the doctor said that's pretty much all the feeling I would get back. I could get injections once every three months. Because I got pregnant I could not get my 2nd injection to know if I would get any further feeling back. Two nights ago I noticed that my thigh was very tingly again and now when I lay on it I feel the actual pain from it which sounds weird because my nerves are damaged how can I feel pain but that's one of the things that I have its super painful but there's no sensation if I touch my thigh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want others to know I am not a wuss and I am strong. And the multiple days I would miss work was not because I am lazy it’s because I tried and was not able to conquer the pain that day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I look up to these women who have RA and they bust their butts hiking and running in marathon I think it's amazing I wish I could. Last year I proved myself that I could do more than I thought by pushing the heck out of myself. I was in physical therapy for about two years and it took me the last year to realize that I can do what I thought was impossible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started walking five minutes a day and increase that up to an hour and a half. My furthest was 3 miles!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's something I'm so proud of because the days that I walked I felt really good and I got my self-confidence back and I started feeling healthy I watch what I ate and I chose healthy foods and I just made better choices for myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was hoping during pregnancy I would keep fit. I did my best by walking back and forth to the store, work, and home. I did my best like I said. Other women are very active during their pregnancy but thanks to Fibro I was not able to stay fully fit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think my sleep is affecting my pain a lot. With Fibro you need a good amount of rest to have less pain. But if you have too much pain or very pregnant and can’t get that sleep it equals more pain. Catch 22.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Besides no sleep the amount of anxiety and stress can affect pain as well. And what pregnant woman isn't all of that?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is just a little bit of my everyday life. I normally don’t open up about it because I don’t want others to think I am complaining. I just want to share.</div>

I am having the bitter sweet moments of excited for her to arrive but will miss her growing with in me. I never thought it would be possible. Every miscarriage I had, made me believe I didn't deserve to be a mom or could not be one. And here I am 8 months pregnant, carrying a healthy active baby girl! VERY active !<br />
<br />
A couple weeks ago was my not a surprise baby shower. A snow storm hit and a lot of people could not make it. I wish I could remember the details but I was super stressed out and anxious that I went into a different state of mind. We are grateful for the people who made it and for the gifts and lots of baby girl clothing we received. We got the diaper bag as a gift from family and because we are not revealing her name until her birthday they designed it with Lil Diva.<br />

We still have to put the crib up and hang up the wall decorations and my mom still has to re-furniture the rocking chair. We picked up really cute fabric for the rocking chair when Jo-Ann's had a big sale.<br />
<br />
I sent in my resignation to work last Monday. I wasn't coming into work anymore and it wasn't fair to them for keeping me on the schedule. The biggest thing is I was coming up on 13 years with the company. I guess when one door opens (being a mom) another one closes (goodbye work).<br />
<br />
This blog post is taking me awhile to write and I really had things to write. Pregnancy brain & tired brain!!<br />
<br />
Valentines day is coming up. I have not been a fan the past two years. I miscarried the same time each year. 7 & 8 weeks and to me they are still angels.<br />
This year I hope to turn it around and still remember them but be thankful for the little girl inside me kicking me in the ribs! And I am happy that my husband has off to celebrate as well!<br />
<br />
Shortly we will be getting our maternity pictures done as well! My aunt is really great with her camera and has a lot of practice with her two children!<br />
<br />
I'm sorry for the short post. I just can't remember a thing what I wanted to type.<br />
It's late and I didn't sleep last night so I am going to attempt it now.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I will figure out what I wanted to write about!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01551603839413000526noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738043314997446798.post-48889205220218832252015-02-06T02:42:00.001-05:002015-02-11T15:11:21.956-05:00Oh Baby! 33 weeks!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The main reason I have not been blogging is because I am exhausted and had a lot of things going on and didn't know how to put feelings into words.<br />
<br />
I hope to catch up because I missed 3 weeks of blogging. Wow time went by really fast.<br />
