He's here....and he's perfect...

It's been almost 2 months. But I finally have a chance to write about it. I gave birth to to healthy, beautiful baby boy on November 25, 2013, and it all went down like this:

My second birthing experience.

11/24/13 I was 38 weeks and 6 days pregnant. At about 10:30 am I was cooking breakfast for my family...and as I was turning the bacon I felt a little, tiny leak down there. I went to check it and it looked liked my mucous plug, or so I thought. At that time I didn't think much of it. The morning turned to afternoon and with a trip to our local Sprouts market to buy Layla fruits and vegetables, Layla loves eating lettuce, we were having a pleasant day. I was still having the feeling of losing my mucous plug but I was beginning to wonder if it was more than that.Then the three of us headed to my husbands faveorite store Costco to stock up on supplies for our home.  When we got back home I wanted to get some rest so I took a short nap and also was monitoring the "leak." It wasn't getting heavier but wasn't going away either. When I was pregnant with Layla my water BROKE and POPPED. There was no questioning that it was my water that broke that day in 2011. 7pm arrives and I feel a bigger leak..so I get on the phone to call my nurse and they tell me to come in to the hospital for observation. We drop Layla off to our dear babysitters house and head North. Thirty minutes later we arrive at Sharp Mary Birch Hopital and head up to the second floor, triage department. The nurses checked my uterus and I was only at 3.5 centimeres. I'd been 3.5 centimeters dilated for the past 3 weeks. They gave me a test to check if it was just my mucous plug leaking or amniotic fluid. The nurse came back within 15 miutes with the test results and said "Yes mam, it's definately amniotic fluids!" "You're staying here mama" :) Oh my gosh, my hubby and I became so excited after hearing that news. We would soon be meeting our son! I am excited just typing this, thinking back to that special day. A few hours later at 11pm I finally got admitted to my labor room. By this time I was only dilated to 4 centimeters so I was given Pitocin to bring on the contractions. Since my water had apparantly started leaking earlier that morning they didn't want me to go on too much longer because infection could set in.  30 minutes later I started feeling contractions and they were slowly but surely intensifying. I had already ordered my epidural...BEST  INVENTION EVER!  I remember the delivery of Layla I had an epidural and didn't feel any urge to push..after all everything below your waist becomes numb! That was the ONLY drawback of having an epidural. BUT I was able to enjoy my labor and delivery. So at 12 am I was only at 4centimeres, the nurses uppped my pitocin to bring on stronger contractions but I could only feel slight tightening of my uters. WHEW!! 2am I was at 5 centimeters! 6am at 6 centimeters! 6:30 am the nurses came in to just prep my room for delivery when it came time to push. I started to feel an urge to push down there.I was HAPPY I could actually feel that feeling!!! I told the nurses so they checked me and I hear the nurse say, "oh my goodness she's at 10 and crowing...the baby's head is RIGHT THERE!" MAJOR EXCITEMENT NOW!!! YAY!!! I had gone from 6 centimeters to fully dilated to 10 in 1 hour. THe doctor was called! With every contraction I was feeling the urge to push, and I did. Push...push it real good. haha. I remember lauging with the doctor, nurses and my hubby..and doc said "yes laugh the baby out" haha. And at 6:57 am with my last push I heard a healthy cry...BABY Noah was born!! He was handed right to me..warm and wet and so perfect. All I said was.."Hi beautiful baby, I love you. Thank You God!" Such a beautiful experience. I would do it all over again. The Lord has answered my prayers, the desires of my heart. My husband and I are so thankful to Him. God bless our babies.

In Case You Haven't Heard The News.....

I AM EXPECTING MY SECOND CHILD!!! PRAISE GOD!!! I remember the day well. It was April 2nd. I was only a couple days late with my period. I just had a feeling that I was maybe pregnant. Soooo during my lunch hour from work, I went to a quick Walmart trip and bought a pregnancy test and some food from Taco Bell :)   So after I ate my lunch at my desk, I discreetly went to the ladies room with the test in hand (in a bag) LOL. Within 3 seconds the result appeared in the little "window". First words...letters out of my mouth were.. "O.M.G!!" and then, "THANK YOU GOD" ((tears)) "THANK YOU JESUS!!!" "Ohhh Jesse, brother...I"m sure you're happy for me."  I felt my face get really warm...and after I cleaned up I got down on my knees on the bathroom floor ( I know, I know) and said a prayer and praised God! WOW....so surprised and so HAPPY!!! - I remember my brother Jesse's first days in hopsice in May 2012, I told Jess "If I ever get pregnant again and if it's a boy I will name him after you" :) He smiled quietly as he always did... <3  AND It's A BOY indeed!!! His name will be Noah Jesse Pendleton!!! AMEN

ONLY 10 weeks left until my due date of 12/02/13!!!
 

Think Pink :)

Layla had her 6 month follow up for her Chalazion on her eyelid. Appointment went well...YAY! Chalazion is almost gonners. We would take care of it with warm towels and gently rubbed her eyelid with it. Within 5 months it has almost dissapeared. Here is picture's of MIss Smiley at breakfast :) I love you Layla!!!

Up close and smiling :)



You're more beautiful everyday that passes my precious daughter.

So My loving hubby has been on vacation this week being that our babysitter went on vacation to Mexico. Gary's been taking care of our daughter at home and Layla has loved every minute of it. They picked me up from work for lunch and it just felt good to be with them ot to lunch. Our layla was ALL smiles!! I have noticed she makes the same raised eyebrow silly smile faces as her daddy. So sweet. ENJOY!!!

A little bit of Rice, corn, carne and tortilla is all I need!

Oh I love my child so!!!! I Praise God for blessing me and my husband with our "Smart, Kind, Important, Beautiful and Funny" daughter. AMEN

Hugs to Heaven for Jesse

Today I was cleaning out my files on my computer at work. Come November 16th lay offs will take place and my job will be one of many. I came upon a file named MY BLOG  - JESSE. I wrote my first entry in this blog file on 10/01/2009 1:31 PM. The same year Jesse was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I've posted my entire blog on here before, but as I read the last entry from March 22, 2012 I couldn't help but feel emotional...the heartache is still there. So I had to write another entry...to heal some of the pain, at least for a while. I love my brother in Heaven. My coworker Patty helped cheer me up....she said my tears are going to disrupt Jesse from Jamin on the drums with Jesus....hahaha and that made me laugh and smile a little :)

Last two entries in my Blog for Jesse <3 See below.

Hello God, Hello Jesus, I love You and Praise You with all my heart. As you know Jesse is still sick in the hospital and feeling more pain. I pray to You to ease the pain in Jesse. We know that once Jesse is released from the hospital (Scripps Encinitas, THE BEST HOSIPITAL around) he will have Hospice take over his care at home. We all know what is ahead of us for Jesse. I must SAY OUT LOUD…I am always hopeful for your will to be a miracle of healing.  I’M NEVER GIVING UP believing in that. As You said to Jairus over his dying daughter, “Do Not Be Afraid, Only Believe” I believe!!!  I also believe that whatever Your will is it shall be done. Last night I called Jesse and talked to him for a little while.  Eva and Dennis had just left. Jesse sounded tired…but he talked with me for a few minutes.   He asked “What are you guys doing?” as he always does. J I told him I just got back from Target (bought Layla milk) and how I was taking Layla a bath while I was on the phone with him. I put the phone to Layla’s ear and she mumbled a few “words” baby babble to him, hee hee.  I asked him how the procedure went the day before, and he said “pretty good.” “They took some fluid out of the stomach.” “I might go home tomorrow.” I said OH GOOD…we’ll be up Saturday then, let me know if you need anything ok. Then I heard how tired he sounded so I said ok I’ll let you get some sleep…just wanted to speak to you… and I said “Good night, I love you!” and Jess replied “Ok, love you too!” Thank you Lord for these special even though it was short..it was beautiful conversations!

Peace, Love and Family..

Emotional. That’s the best word to describe how I am feeling right now, at this very moment.  It’s my first time writing in my blog about my brother Jesse since his passing on May 26, 2012. Oh Lord dealing with his loss has been tough as it is for any family member who suffers a loss of a loved one. I prayed so hard for Your healing Lord, to heal Jesse from cancer, but it didn’t happen. I believed in You but it just wasn’t Your will. And Lord it’s not about what WE want, it’s about what Your will is for us here on Earth in this life. I Love You Lord. I thank You for being by Jesse’s side, holding his hand through the pain and sadness and yes the fear of the unknown. It was You Lord who looked upon Jesse and saw that he was suffering too much on this earth from this ugly disease…and it was You who decided it was time to heal him from that and take him home to your kingdom. I sit here at work, 9:20 AM…writing this entry in this blog with tons of tears rolling down my cheeks…..my heart aches….Jess:: when you look down on us from Heaven, and when you see me crying, sad……don’t feel sad yourself….because my hope and faith is in The Lord that I know I will see you again!!! I miss you and I love you…………….FOREVER IN MY HEART!!!!  Thank you for watching over Layla and myself…Huge Teddy Bear Hugs to my brother!!!

Your little sis,

Anita
