The little Mr

Turned 3 on Sunday!
How did he grow so quickly?!
He is such a sweetheart and a great kid. He has his days like any kid where he loses his mind. But still a sweetie.
He loves to read books
Loves playing out at the park
Loves bike rides with daddy
New words are " no, I can't!"
& " please u help me"
Goes pee on the potty ( working on the other)
Can't wait to see what this year has in store for him.
This year we took him over to chuckie cheese since I didn't have the time or energy for a party ( planning to though him one in a few weeks)
Happy birthday again to our little mr!

Our crazy labor story:
So on Saturday night at around 9pm I was just getting into bed and I started getting contractions. They were not painful. But I started tracking them. They were anywhere from 5-20 mins apart. But after about 2 hours of this I thought maybe we should go in and get checked to bed sure. I call the on call and they tell me to go to emergency, I then go wake up deon who jumps out of bed like I was a murderer. Then I quietly tell him it time to go.
He gets dressed & I call our friend Janelle to come stay at the house.
By the time we r on the road , about 12. My contractions r so bad I can't speak.
We rush to the hospital. And I mean deon was going 75-80mph.
We get to the hospital and then we take forever getting me a wheel chair & registering me, which Deon had already done last week,;(
So they get me up to labor & delivery, I am beyond in pain. My face is numb.
Ask they r checking me out. I am just trying to consentrate on my breathing which is becoming harder & harder. I start getting the need to push as deon & the nurses try me to stop pushing just breath threw them. They were trying to contact the on call doctor.?finally get him . Let's say I was so far into my labor that my water broke about 20 mins after getting to a bed. And let me say that by the time the doctor got up to my room Mackenzie was already starting to come, the doctor didn't even really have prep time he just walked in and saw me and said go ahead and push when u feel the urge. So after 3-4 pushes she was out!!!... There had been no time for pain meds!
Our beautiful little girl came in a rush ;)

Baja Fish Tacos

3 talapia

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp paprika 

1/2 tsp chili powder

(if you wanted it more spicy add a pinch of chaeyne pepper)

Slaw:
1lb shredded cabbage

1/2 c sour cream

1 1/2 Tablespoon vinegar  

1 teaspoon white sugar
( mixed all of the slaw together and then taste it, it should be a little tangy, may have to play with it a little bit to get the taste u want)

corn tortillas
fresh cilantro
fresh limes
salsa

Make the slaw in a bowl, chop up cabbage and add sour cream and vinegar mix very well, stick in fridge while u cook fish.

 Cook fish in Pan with a little olive oil. Use all the spices on the fish. Cook til it flakes, only about 3 mins on each side.

I also usually cook black beans to stick in the tacos. And cook mexi rice for the side.    These r are family favorite!

 

39 week check up

What an eventful afternoon we had. At my appt my blood pressure was elevated to the point that my doctor was worried that I might have toxemia so to the labor and delivery dept at the hospital we went.
After being there for about over 2 hrs of monitoring me, my blood pressure went down & all the labs they took came back normal. They released me. Even though I was having contractions they were not strong enough to keep me.
I have another appt next Friday. & if nothing has happened my doctor said we would start discussing inducing me.
Also when she checked my cervix I was at a 2, but still not thinning! That I find very annoying! Lol
Anyhow. Let's see how this week goes.

Ventura county fair

Last night military got in free to the fair and so we decided after deon got off work to head over and let marek go on some rides & also eat some fair food;) I was on a mission to find some Indian fry bread' and I found it and it was so yummy!!
Marek really had a wonderful time going on the rides, and the lines were not bad so it was perfect! We also walked around for a bit and looked at some animals... Marek wanted to pry them ;)
We did a lot of walking & I am hoping it helped in the baby department. Our appt is later this afternoon.
Enjoy the pics

38 week check up...

It was this past Friday. And I left that appointment frustrated and needing a nap!
So my doctor checked my cervix and said I am maybe barely a 2 on the outside and still a 0 on the inside. She said if I don't progress more by my next appt she can try to scrap my membranes.. But said it would be much more painful then when she just checks me.. And might I say this appts check was super painful. I think it was because I had Marek with me and he had not been listening in the waiting room..( which my appt was at 11 and I didn't get seen til 11;45) I am sure it was more painful because I was so tense. Hopefully deon can watch marek this Friday at my next appt.
I haven't really had much in the way of contractions. But I hope to see progress.
