wow 11 weeks!!!!

Tennyson is now 11 weeks, the first month was crazy hard, he was so hungry so breast feeding was so challenging, I unfortunately had to stop... this has now led us to trying out four different types of formula...We are now using a hypoallergenic formula, as we are sure Tennyson is allergic to milk. Now on his second day with the new formula he has slept through the night from 9 to 5am and is not as constipated,,thank goodness WOOO HOOO.

Tennyson also holds his head up, and tries to talk making funny sounds, he is without a doubt the cutest baby in the world. ( i think so)


The girls have been so helpful, and Ryan is amazing!!!


Time is going by fast, I love the fact that I now can sleep a full 6hours.. thank GOD!!, I feel good, I starting running again as I would like to fit back into my jeans,, soon......


Life is good, everyone is adjusting just fine, and Tennyson is truly a amazing baby.

baby, 11 weeks
XOXO

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Tennyson Rayn White only minutes young, 

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!


 Monday July 25 at we went to Kelowna General Hospital,we arrived at 8am only to be turned away due to priority..we waited and waited, went out for sushi which later we find out was a bad idea.. (due to gas)!! lol, but we call ahead and at 3:45 and we are asked to come in as they are ready to start our induction. We are being induced by a application of gel as we are one week over our due date......At about 6pm things are not feeling great my contractions are all in my back and they are one after the other, (the gel is working), but i feel horrible, I'm in so much pain , crying and yelling. I have now scared two new moms waiting in the next bed....by 8pm I have had enough, sweating, shaking and puking~ i ask for a epidural... 45 mins later ..I fall in love with the anesthesiologist, THANK GOD FOR PAIN MEDS!!!!! I now am able to have a rest but I am freezing and shaking so the nurses bring hot blankets to cover me ~ after about a half hour I feel the urge to push~and at 10:15pm I have pushed and screamed ready to faint and then a TEN POUND TWO OUNCE Tennyson joins the world..at 10:45 OMG!! 10 pounds!!!wow,

Tennyson looked so big already, he had rolls and a very good cry. Ryan cut the umbilical cord and was there helping him get adjusted to his new surroundings. I could not believe it was all over, the pain was gone and I immediately felt unbelievable joy and was completely over whelmed with so much love..xox



After a shower and a few stitches, we went back to our room. We just stared at this little miracle, we couldn't stop staring,.. by midnight or so we went to sleep, with Tennyson there by our side all peaceful.  


 After all those months and all the pain, he was here and we couldn't be happier. You forget the pain,( breifly) when you see your baby for the first time, and when the doctors placed him on my belly just moments after given birth, and I looked down to see this baby, crying and unbelievable so beautiful, your heart instantly fills with so much love~xo


Happy Birthday Tennyson, 
glad to finally meet you


love Mom

new TITLE 41 weeks

I am now over 41 weeks, my fundal measurement is measuring 45cm.. what that means is when this baby comes out he will be looking for the fridge for food!!!lol

I get induced on Monday, but they will just give the gel, and send me home.... this is driving me crazy, I know he is one BIG baby and he needs to come out of Hotel Uterus and meet the family,... maybe that's why he's staying in there..lol

Time will tell, I say a little , no big prayer every night to just go into labour....what can you do?? wait wait and wait... I do know that he will be here by Wed July 27th at the latest...but until, then it is up to the universe, stars, powers to be, and Tennyson~ohhh please come soon........


Mom

Dear Tennyson

Dear Tennyson,




It has been 9 full months soon to be ten months of anticipation. I can't wait to meet you , see you , smell you and hold you. It has been a long 10 months, but we probably needed all that time to get prepared and of course you needed that time to grow and grow.....and grow....


You have two older sisters awaiting your arrival, they already want to spoil you and just love you to pieces. They can't wait to show you off to their friends. Your Dad is excited, and ready to meet you, as he has watched you move and kick for months now. We also have two cats that I'm sure will be very interested in you....There are so many people waiting to just LOVE you, and hold you.


It has been a long time since there was a baby around the house..... your sisters are twelve going on twenty five, but are still very young at heart. They will be a big help, like your second moms that is until Glee is back on T V..lol, There are so many great relatives you'll meet, some you'll probably never meet, but they are all waiting to love you......



Your Dad has never done this before, but I know he'll be just fine. I have not done this before with so much help, I'm looking forward to just taking it all in with ease and calmness....I have so much help and love.


   Tennyson your Birthday is coming up, I'm not too sure what day yet, but I know it will be a big celebration, just be prepared for a ton of love and affection, cause you are going to be SOO LOVED!!!XOXOX




Can't wait for your Birthday, I'll see you soon

 Love Mom XOXOXO
