Are baby girl was born on Sept 4th at 8:50 am. She was 6 pounds 15 ounces and 19 3/4 inces long. She is a very Happy and healthy baby. Here is a picture for you guys.

ONE MORE WEEK

Marlena — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 11:56:31 -0700

So next week is the day for my C-Section. Tuesday Sept 4th, and I think I have everything ready, it just feels like I am forgetting something. I cant wait until she is out!!! Ever since I dropped I have been in pain so who ever said dropping was good was a man LOL. I keep thinking I am going into labor but nothing happens, the Braxton Hicks (sp?) are getting worse and worse but I am almost done. I am just getting this house cleaned up for next week because I wont be able to clean for a while which is OK by me, but it is gonna bug me to have an untidy house, I know the hubby will try to keep up with it but work will get in the way and I just know I will go nuts. I will try to write after the baby is born and show some pics. Talk to you all later.

I did

Upload photo's

Marlena — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 11:39:41 -0700

Is there a way to upload photo's more then 1 at a time. You used to be able to but you cant now. It makes it to hard and long to upload.

SUCKY

Marlena — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 11:39:52 -0700

Now I know why I haven't been on Minti in a month and 1/2 because it is really starting to suck and I dotn feel like I can share anything on her anymore.

SO SO SO LONG

Marlena — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 11:30:09 -0700

OMG it has been so long since I have written on my blog. Things are going ok, baby should be here soon. I am 32 weeks now and I am getting excited. I am just working on the babies room. Austin seems to be getting used to the idea of having a sister but only time will tell. I have been having premature labor so I am suppost to take it easy. Austin is doing really well with the potty training. We stopped for a bit because he just didn't want to do it and now he wants to do it and he has been doing poop to in the potty which is awesome. So over all I am doing well and so is Austin. I will try to write more as the weeks go by and after the baby is born. I am sure I will have pictures of Faith after she is born.

Hello

Marlena — Thu, 24 May 2007 22:30:16 -0700

Hello you all....I know I know i have been a bad Minti member and not doing much on here. Just wanted to let you all know that the pregnancy is going well. We have some slight concerns about pains in my tummy but we just have to watch to make sure it isn't premature labor. Other then that I am good. I am so done the first trimester thank God because i like that I am not always sick. Last month I was really run down but that was because my thyroid was down a bit but it is all back to normal. The main thing is that baby is moving a lot and the heart beat is very health and strong. So I hope all is good with you all in Minti land and I will try harder to keep you all up to date with the pregnancy.

Night

It has been awhile

Well we have such a busy week coming up. Tomorrow we are going to the city to hang out with some of my friends at this coffee place called Jump'n Jiva and my friend says there is so much for the kids to do. Train cars to drive I cant wait. Then on Thursday we are going to go to are play group which is going well and Austin is doing so much better with it and playing with others. He still has his additude but I think that is just his personality haha. Thursday I have another Doctors appointment and we will probably go to the Play group drop in since we walked all that way and it is right around the corner, or maybe the park if it is nice. The weather has been getting nice so I hope it stays that way, it is so much easier to walk everywhere when it is nice out and it makes me happy. Well I hope that everyone is doing well and I will let you know how the appointment went.

It's A ???????

Here is a picture of Austin when we got back from are easter party at are
play group. He made those ears while he was there. Hope everyone
has a very Happy Easter.

Doctors appointment

Marlena — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 09:38:21 -0700

I had a doctors appointment on March 29, but I haven't had a chance to blog about it until now. Everything went well with it. New doctor was nice and my swollen legs that my family was concerned about is all good and I have nothing to worry about. I have to get a whole bunch of inhailers because I have really bad breathing problems with this baby. I have an ultrasound on April 9th and hopefully if the baby is nice enough I can find out the sex of the baby. My hubby is gonna be working so it is gonna be hard to learn these things without him. He didn't miss an appointment with my son Austin, but he wasn't working then. I got to hear the babies heart beat for the first time and it was awesome. Doctor says it has a very strong girls heart beat (cant go by the heart beat for the sex I know) so I am hoping the doctor is right. Well I have to get cleaning. Talk to you all later.

Little funny

just got this online...Useful comebacks to rude pregnancy comments
• "At least I made somebody's heart and brain today. What did you do?"
• "You're huge too — and you don't have the excuse of another person living inside you."
• "Go ahead, but I'm not touching yours."

I am big

Marlena — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 22:14:57 -0700

Well I wanted to share with Dramamom how big I was already. 15 weeks and I am bigger then normal (i think). I know I am not further along then they think unless they missed judged the ultra sound. I also know there isn't twins. Maybe it is just because I am so tiny that there isn't any room but out. LOL. Here are two pictures of you Dramamom and everyone else.

I don't think I have taken any pictures lately so I will find something.

Here is a picture of Austin sleeping. It took me a while to figure out how he could sleep like that and which arm was which. His cousin who is older is the same way, very flexable yucky.

Just another day

Marlena — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 14:55:04 -0700

Yesterday was such a nice day. We did are shopping then we went to KFC for dinner then for a walk. We went down town where we got to take a look at 2 trains that they have on display. When we were walking back to the car we walked past a parent link centre. So now Austin and I will be going to play groups on Wednesdays. It should be so much fun and it is gonna be great to meet new people and maybe even make some friends. I cant wait to start going and when Austin looked inside he wanted to go straight in and play with all the toys. It is 3 hour long meetings so it is gonna be nice. It is walking distance so it is nice also. We went outside today also for a bit, but just enough time for me to clean off the porch and Austin to splash in the puddles and get messy. Today I am gonna attempt to make sushi for my hubby, he likes it and when I was in Victoria my brother in law showed me how to make it and my sister took me to China town to purchase all the stuff to make it so I am excited about that and so is Roy. Today Austin did some painting to put in his cousins birthday card and he is gonna make a pencil and pen holder for his unorganized Aunt for her birthday that is coming up. I have to run to the store soon to buy pens and pencils so i think she will like that. She likes it when Austin makes things for her. Well Rachel Ray is on and I need some couch time before I start dinner. Hope all is well in everyones lives.

Well on Saturday I had a great surprise. I was lying on the couch after going for a walk with my hubby and my son. Then my boyfriend called me and said that Austin had done something and I had to come look. I yelled back to him is it good or bad and he said bad very bad. So i made my way to Austin's room and guess what I found. Austin and my hubby next to each other and Austin had an open ring box in his hand and he said "Momma it's for you". Then my hubby asked me to marry him. I was so happy but crying of course lol. It was so perfect and the ring so beautiful. So I am now engaged......6 years waiting lol.
