So I surf and am catching up on Ames blog (sooo awesome!) and going through my pictures and well just reminisicing when I was preggers with Austin and then that fateful day that Austin arrived...soo stressful!
If some of you who are reading this now and don't know how he was born I'll fill ya in as short and sweet as I can w/o scaring the preggers out there. Austin (who's fine now) was a very big baby (and still is! over 95 percent on the charts...still!) but stupid military doctors told me to push him out anyways which was not happening so they put the 'vaccum' on his head and then told me to push. POP! The vaccum (which is a suction cup on the poor baby's head) popped off with barely one push which should not happen so that damn doctor did it again, POP! Doesn't even stick on poor Austin (who's fine now) so emergency C-section! Oh no, I'm panicking b/c of the sounds of that and Kevin is nervous and blah blah blah, Austin is delievered about ten mintues later. Litterally once I say I can't feel my legs, they start cutting and three minutes later Austin was out. So poor thing was stressing from trying to get his 14 cm head through a 10 cm hole that had a lip apparently according to the doctor (don't ask me, I just was not a full circle) so he pooped myself during that time. That is bad mojo for babies still inside so he had to be drugged w/ this stuff and then his air was really really low like if they didn't give him oxygen he would have to try too hard for a lil baby to breath so he was rushed out of the military hospital and sent to the main anchorage hospital and i of course had to stay at the military hospital and away from my baby, my brand new baby for four days!!!! Oh man those were the worse four days of my life! I have yet to be gone from Austin that long since then. Thank God for that. Neways so I get released and visit my baby and he's got to stay a few more days after that. During that time he gets super better super fast and then he's home. The drugs he got for the pooping issue was a five day course and another reason he had to stay. I had found the whole process quite ironic. I had visited about 4 women at that same hospital in that same ward and pictured me being just as lucky and having the just same experience. I was the only one that had a completely different outcome and humbled me to the fullest. That I shouldn't have been so envious of them.
The one thing that did hurt a little was that no one came to visit me at the hospital...why would you visit someone with no baby? Hello, I have feelings too!
So I pray that all goes well with everyone's babies to be and that many many people visit no matter what.
So next on the list is that I'm going to be quiting work this June to go to school full time. Why you ask? Well let's see, the GI bill is going to pay me more than double than that I make right now. Plus I won't have enough time to do both and watch Austin full time. So it'll be Austin during the day and school during the night. Kevin is going as well so we will have pretty much no time to ourselves. :) Oh well. He'll be done and have his BA next year and well, I'll be in school for forever! :) I need 90 more credits!!! Yikes! But man, once I get it it'll be sweet! Computer jobs galore! So in doing that I am probably most likely making a commitment that I don't think my family will be liking too much or maybe they won't care I dunno. But I'm planning on going reserve. Yep, to keep those computer skills fresh and current I'll becoming a weekend warrior starting Aug-Sept time. Kevin's family is visiting and other things are postponing my decision but I think its going to be good for us. It's only two days a month (first weekend of every month) and two weeks a year (any two weeks you choose). So that'll be like I think 400 a month. Not too bad. Covers the cable/internet bills that we will have to start paying for here shortly. (yeah I like get that stuff for free! Sweet!) So that's about it. Austin is being ever so cute as always. We get him to say words and point to things that he knows to keep that mind of his fresh or as fresh as he'll let us. He's already refusing to hike the ball. :( Kevin is sad about that. lol! Also I've been trying to garden out in the backyard. This weed bush plant thing is driving me insane. It's soo big and the roots go forever I swear. After we cut it all down it started growing more crap so I grabbed the shovel and just started going to town on it. Still not done yet though. So that's my plan for tomorrow. Dig until there is nothing left!!!! :) Alright so it's like past 3am so I think maybe I should try to get some sleep. Austin will be up around 930am. Night!
