Hello everyone! How is everyone! Johanna is 10 months old. Shes crawling and crusing. Man its been forever since i wrote. I miss live journal. I forgot all about it. Well lets see whats been going on with me?! I work everyday but Johanna goes with me to work so its nice. I miss being at home but this works too. My husband and i bought my parents business so we are self employed now. Its really nice. My dad works for us and is our sells men. its going great.
*anyway*
I met a friend who has a baby girl named McKenzie. Johanna and her are 3 weeks and 3 days apart so they are best friends. They play and "talk" to each other. Mckenzie is 19 lbs 27" and johanna is 20lbs. 28". johanna is alittle bit bigger. Shes a solid girl...the girl got muscles. She lived in her jimmy jumper for a long time and jumped and jumped and jumped some more...lol! At johannas last doctors appointment the doc said i could put johanna on cows milk but its all over the place to wait till after the frist b-day so i'm still on and off about the subject. Any advice would be great. Well gg now...talk later

Hello! Well I would have started work yesterday. I was sad about not going back because I really loved what I was doing but Johanna is soooo worth giving up my job for. Hopefully by the time she is 3 we will be on our second child, thats the plan anyway. Jo Jo is growing so fast. She has her second doctors appointment coming up monday. I'm excited to see how much she weighs now. Sunday is my 23rd birthday and mothers day. You know I'm going to do? SHOPPING!!! I need clothes badly! Well, i thought I'd say and update! BYE

Well, i'm gonna be a stay at home mom. i was gonna go back part time but its not worth it. child care is $25 a day and for 3 days thats $75 so i would only be brining 10 home a day after i paid the sitter. that is stupid. I feel better about it totally.

Gosh its been so long since I've wrote in here. I've been soo busy with Johanna and stuff. She had her first doctors appointment and she now weighs 6 pounds 12 oz. she has gained all of her weight back plus some. She is hungry just about every two hours except for at night, she goes about 4 hours or so. I'm really not losing any sleep. we take naps and stuff. Its nice starting your days at 7am instead of sleeping in till 10 or so and the day is about over or at least it feels that way. Breastfeeding is going good, sometimes i get frustrated because it seems like it takes forever. I always have something to do/clean and i get antsy when i have to sit down and feed her. She always seems to fall asleep and i think shes done and i lay her down and she wasnt done eating. Its getting better though but i had no idea it was gonna harder than what i thought. No wonder new moms give up and go to formula...its easier. I did buy a breast pump so its helping things. I really dont have anyone to hang out with now...just to busy but i dont feel lonely at all maybe becaue i have something worth wild...johanna! Well i'm going for now....

Everything is good. Johanna is 5 days old now. We love her sooo much! She is so funny. Last night I was changing her diaper bc she had pooped well during the diaper changing she decided "hey i'm not done" but thankfully i caught it but then she decided "well i might as on well pee too" lol then she got so worked up over about changing her diaper that she decided to spit up. I just stood there and laughed because I know those are the moments you never forget! Motherood is the best!

What the last couple of days I've had. Johanna Grace Walter was born on friday March 21th at 7:49pm. She was 6 pounds 9 oz and 20 1?2 inches long. I was induced at 8:00am so almost 12 hours of labor. I was only 1 cm dilated when i walked into the hospital so i went from 1 to 10. The doctors broke my water at 3cm and i think that was about 12 or so. Then I started to have some back labor so I had to newban (sp?) for that. I just relaxes you between contractions. It was so cool when she was born. I couldnt believe I got a girl. The heart rate theory is a myth. She had a heart rate of 130 or so throughout the whole pregnancy. So I was excepting a boy. Anyway she is such a good baby. Breastfeeding is going great. She likes her pacifier. last night I fed her at 9:00 so fell asleep and didnt wake up to eat till 4:30am....I got alot of sleep. She is so content and happy! I'm surprised how much patience I have now and this love I have never expierenced before. Its amazing. I will get pictures up asap.

Well we went to the doctor today and the fluid was low so we two choices...either i would be on best est for the weekend and go in monday and se how the cervix was and put me on the fetal monitor or induce tomorrow, so we chose to be induced tomorrow. We have to be at the hospital at 6:00am. I'll update as soon as i get home and settle in. I'm so excited! The baby is 6 pounds!

Well last night I started getting contractions but nothing regular but i did have a stressful 45 mins. My husband and I watched american idol and after that the war started and i started feeling really sad for the people fighting and the iraqi people. Also that my baby will be born during a war :( then larry and i heard a loud crash outside right before the president was about to speak. Of course we thought it was some anti-war people doing something or terrorist becasue we do have alot of muslims who run the marathon gas stations and that makes us all alittle aware of things. Anyway, we went outside and it was foggy but i thought it was a fire but it was an accident...a lady was turning left and hit a motorcylcist. he was in bad shape and the lady in the car was sitting on the crib rocking back and front balling so loud. My heart went to her. It was just a sad night really. but i have the doc appointment today s maybe i'll have the baby tonight or tomorrow....we'll see!

Well, yesterday was an interesting day. I woke up at 4:30am with a major backache and it never went away so i called the doc and they had me come in and they put me on the fetal monitor for about 1 hour. The heart rate was up around 130 or so then drop to about 100 or so and this concerned the doctor so they sent me over to the hospital for a special ultrasound to see if the fluid around the baby was low or if the cord was restricted somewhere but everything was fine but if it wasnt then they would have had to induce labor. So now tomorrow i have go in to do a nonstress test for 1 hour again and they will monitor the heart rate again and see if they need to induce or not so i will be anxious for the next 24 hours.....

Last night was so weird. I got home from the shower i was tired so i went to bed about 11:30. My husband had some friends over and they watched the green mile and he didnt come to bed till 12:30 or so! I was wide awake when he came to bed so i got up cleaned the guys mess, did dishes and mopped the kitchen floor! I had so much energy it was retarded. I didnt go to bed till 3am and I was awake at 8am. I'm running off of 5 hours of sleep. Thats not like me at all. I'm a bitch if i dont get my 8 hours of sleep. Anyway my mother in law had it will be here by the end of the week...lol! I guess we'll see
