Well today is Christmas Day. Where has this year went? Bella has been fighting a cold the past couple of days and started in with a fever last night. She woke this morning still running a fever. We opened presents, she ate a little breakfast and went right back to sleep. She woke up fever free though. After watching her play this morning, EVERY thing has went into her mouth and she is chewing hard on it. So I have a feeling we are just dealing with some more teeth coming in.
Today Bella is 11 months old. So in exactly one months time we will be having a Birthday Party. WOW!!! Kinda scary. We are already being told by everyone "time to start on the second one." LOL. In due time, we are enjoying Miss Bella and loving every minute of it for now. It will happen when it is suppose to happen.
Hope everyone has had a blessed day so far and that everyone is getting to spend time with family and/or friends. We would like to wish EVERYONE a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

DECEMBER ALREADY?
WOW! Where has this year went? I can't believe we are already into December. We have the entire inside and outside of our house decorated this year. It was a lot of fun doing it. Adam even got involved this year, usually I am having to ask for help to put the outside lights up but this year he asked me where they were and he went and got them out and we got them hung up. Bella has been enjoying the Christmas tree. She has a favorite ornament that she likes to pester us with "not touching". LOL. Everyone kept telling me that I needed to not decorate the bottom 2 foot of the tree. For one, I have too many ornaments to not do that and two how else will she learn she can't touch. She has done awesome the past 2 days though. It was a new temptation that she has now for the most part bypassed.
Bella was 10 months old on Thanksgiving day. She is getting so big too fast. She is walking all over the place and on days she is running. We go to the specialist today to get her foot looked at and hopefully get a brace or shoe insert to get it corrected. We shall see what they say.
We have a busy month ahead of us. Lots of family christmas parties, a couple of birthday parties, and planning for Bella's 1st birthday party in January. CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS ALREADY HERE. UGH!
We would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season! If you are traveling, whether to see family or shopping be safe!!!

9 MONTHS
WOW!!! 9 months ago right now I was laying in the OR getting ready to see my baby girl. What a 9 months it has been. Bella is WONDERFUL. We did her checkup last Thursday. The Dr. walked in and said "OH MY GOSH, I can't believe how big she has gotten." Bella's response was HIIIII!!! LOL. She loves telling everyone hi and bye. She had a huge growth spurt since her last checkup. She was in the 90th percentile on height, by which the dr said she is pretty tall for her age even before looking at that. Which would explain why Bella can't wear footie pjs. The poor girl has to keep her knees bent at all times if we were to put them on her. LOL. She weighed just under 21 lbs.
The Dr. asked,"how is she eating?" My response was "what can she not eat? LOL" We have an awesome eater on our hands. Once we got past the mashed potatoes we haven't found anything she hasn't liked. Believe it or not she LOVES dill pickles. She rakes the pickle off the peeling with her two bottom teeth. It is quite a sight to watch. :-)
Bella has a little vocabulary already, she says Hi, Bye Bow (aka bye bye)and waves, Daddy, uh oh, and ow as she is poking you or pulling your hair, all of which she uses at the right time. LOL. She has been such a joy. We are on the VERY verge of walking. She will take off walking from a piece of furniture for about 5-6 steps and getting better everyday.
She is getting big way too fast. We can't wait for her to make another stride in something she has learned and then once she does it I look back and almost cry to see how fast she is growing up.
We are gearing up for Halloween this next weekend. I am excited for these next couple of months with the upcoming holidays. But then again I am not too excited about January, as she will be turning 1. But on the flip side of that I am excited about planning the party. HEHE. So that is where we are at these days, growing up too fast and on the go.

Lovin' It!!!
I have been so blessed these past couple of weeks.
I spent well over 90 hours working in two weeks time, getting the bus routes ready and set up and all the kiddos entered into the system. On the Monday before school started I went and ran my route that afternoon. IT WAS HOT. So when I got home Adam and I got to talking about it. I would have to get Bella up about 5am and feed her. That would put her being hungry again about 7 or 7:30, right in the middle of my route. We had talked about his mom coming in, but that is a lot to ask for someone to be here at 5:30 every morning. Then after running the route it was determined how hot is was and she can't be in the heat due to her kidney medicine, so again we were at the sitter issue. I wouldn't be bringing home any money if we were to pay for a sitter, that is if we could find one for 4 hours a day, split into 2 hour increments. So we decided I would just stay home. Adam started for BNSF the week before all this took place so we had been discussing me stayin home eventually anyway, just happened to be sooner than we thought. :-)
Bella and I are both lovin' it. We play all day, take naps whenever we want :-), and do what we want.
I was given 150 lbs of tomatoes last Saturday so I spent Sunday afternoon and Tuesday morning getting them all worked up. I ended up with 14 qts & 2 pts of Salsa, 17 qts & 2 pt of Spagetthi sauce, 16 pts of Chili Base and 18 pts of Pizza Sauce. It will be nice this winter. I am still hoping to do some more apples this fall. Mainly into apple butter. We made a bunch earlier with free apples but we have went through quite a bit of it already. The canning days are about over I have a feeling, but next summer we will do it all over. So far this year we have done apples, apple pie filling, apple butter, strawberry jam, peaches, blueberries, salsa, spaghetti sauce, salsa, chili base, pizza sauce, apricot jam, I think that is it..LOL
Time to start my day. Not much going on for the day, just relaxing in this BEAUTIFUL weather. It just makes me look forward to Fall even more. Can't wait to be outside in the cool breeze wearing a sweatshirt or light jacket.

Where has our baby girl went???
Our baby girl is sittin up on her own and playing. It is so much fun watching her reaching and grabbing for things. She is also attempting to crawl. Time has flew by. :-( I am just so thankful I am able to spend all day, every day at home with her. She loves her johnny jump up, she bounces all over the place in it. HEHE!!
We went to the dr. last week. She was SUPER cranky for 4 days straight,we thought maybe she was back to the kidney problems. Everything checked out great. Since we were there and we live an hour away they went ahead and did her 6 month (yes, already 6 months old) check up a few weeks early. She is doing great on her height and weight. She is a super eater and already prefers her solids over her bottle...which the dr. laughed and said that is great!!!!

Where has the time went?
WHEW!!! Summer is flying by at a high rate of speed. Where do I even begin.
Bella is doing WONDERFUL. She has started to let her little personality shine. She is such a happy little girl. Nothing but smiles unless she is hungry or tired.
We have been spending a lot of time at the pool. She loves the water. The new pool in Spring Hill is amazing for little kids. We go with some friends of ours that have 3 kids under the age of 7, so we always have lots of fun. Bella loves to lay in the innertube with us and ride on the lazy river. She just jabbers all the way around it. She has started eating solids, the dr. suggested we go full 3 meals a day since she is on the antibiotic and probiotic daily. She was having lots of tummy aches before we started the meals. So she gets cereal/fruit in the morning, veg. and fruit for lunch and cereal/fruit for dinner. She is lovin' it.
I was officially laid off in May. The company I worked for lost the contract. It has been taking over by a new company but they won't give us any word on job placement until the end of July to 1st of August. In the state of Kansas a bus driver or any school employee for that matter isn't allowed to draw unemployment if you have a job guarantee for the following fall. (Kansas is 1 of 4 states in the US that don't allow this). So by the company "closing the doors" we were able to draw for this summer. Nothing like getting paid and not working. LOL. So if they even give us a verbal agreement on a job we automatically lose the unemployment. If I do get hired back, the one great thing about the new company though, Bella will get to go with me on the bus. The old company had a policy that the drivers personal kids had to be at least 1 year of age to ride along. So I am pretty excited about that. Hopefully I will be able to keep my old route since I had both of my nieces on my bus, they will be able to entertain her. :-)
Our garden is in full bloom. We even have green beans almost ready to pick. One of the local church's here in town does a Harvester's food bank once a month that is open to the public. Sometimes they get an extra shipment in and usually that truck is amazingly full of goodies. Well 2 weekends ago they had an over abundance of apples and cherry tomatoes. We ended up with 4 bushels of apples and 100 lbs of tomatoes (that they would have to had throw away if no one took them). So on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday my mother-in-law and I put them up. We made spaghetti sauce, salsa, apple pie filling, apple butter and just peeled, cored and sliced apples for later use. Canning season hit us a little early. :0)
We don't have anything really planned for the summer. Bella and I just take it day by day. One day we sit at home doing nothing and the next day we are busier than ever. But there is no better way to do it.

Spring has sprung!
WOW!!! This weather has been spectacular! I have been having some HORRIBLE winter blues. I am not much of one to stay in the house regardless of the weather and since Bella has been here we haven't been getting out much. It was to the point that Adam kept telling me I needed to talk to the dr. about depression, which I knew I wasn't to that point, it is just I am a very outgoing person that likes to be busy. So needless to say with the weather getting nice we have been out and about alot.
We spent all day Friday and Sunday shopping. I have been trying to find those perfect curtains for Bella's room without having to change the entire theme...not alot goes with Pink camo you know. I am to the point of having to make my own. I have been attempting to put her in her bed during the day, since we are about to outgrow the bassinet and she won't hear tell of it. As most of you know, my living room is somewhat of a dark room as is our bedroom..the two places she sleeps. So I don't think she is diggin' the white blinds and valances in her "bright" room during the day.
My brother and his family just moved into their new house so we have been spending alot of time out there helping them get settled. They have a beautiful new home that is just the right size for their family. Bella will have a blast with her cousin's playing in the huge yard.
Bella has been sleeping through the night for about a week now. I say through the nite, from 10:30 to about 5:30am or 6:30am. It has been great! She may wake up fussy in the middle of it, but we change her diaper and she is right back to sleep. And we can just lay her down in her bassinet when we go to bed and she will usually lay there and play herself to sleep, just hope this is a trend that will stick around our house.
We have to make a trip to the dr. tomorrow morning. Let's just say today has been a WONDERFUL day. We have spent the past few days in nothing but crying and screaming fits, to the point of her choking herself from it and lasting about 6-8 hours. She has been asleep today (all day), has only woke up once to eat. She is probably so wore out from the past few days though. Or it could be the fact, Mom finally broke down and called the dr. so she is going to be good as gold now. LOL. The dr. seems to think she may have a bit of reflux going on, so we shall see tomorrow. It has been a very stressful, trying time for mommy and daddy. It is so hard when you can't do anything to comfort them.
With spring approaching we plan to be out and about every chance we get. Bella will be an outdoorsy girl if mommy and daddy have their way ;-).
I was planning to return to work tomorrow morning. Went to the dr. yesterday for my 6 week checkup, to be told I wasn't returning to work tomorrow. The dr. is very strict about her pregnancy/diabetic patients that have a csection taking a full 8 weeks maternity leave. Noone said anything about this the entire time we were even discussing csection. Which I am fine with, I am not sure I will be ready to return come the 22nd either. HEHE! Luckily I am able to work a couple hours a day and those couple of hours are split up. So we will get to play outside and do fun things in the middle of the day. Which I am looking so forward to!
Better get back to getting stuff done around the house while she is sleeping. Hope everyone is well and able to get out and enjoy the weather as much as we are.

Bella has arrived
Annabella Maryana was born on Jan. 25, 2010 at 12:50pm. She weighed 8lbs 2oz and was 19 3/4inches long.
My water broke on its own at 12:05am, that is an experience in itself. lol. We got to the hospital about 1am and was only dialated to 1/2cm. They hooked me up to all the machines and placed cerivdal in my cervix. My blood pressure started going up and I wasn't able to sit up without it going into stroke range. About 9:30am or so my dr. came in and checked and I hadn't dialated AT ALL since I arrived at the hospital. I was suppose to go to her office that morning for a sonogram to determine if we were in for a csection for a big baby or not. Since my water broke, they weren't able to do a csection at the hospital that would determine a good reading so she decided it would be in the best interest of myself and the baby to do a csection anyway. So they scheduled me at noon, there were already 3 scheduled ahead of me. We went in at noon and I was started prep for the epidural. My dr. was running late at the office so she didn't get there until 12:23pm. They brought Adam in after I was all prepped and laying on the O.R. table and started the procedure. She was born within about 30 minutes. The procedure was nothing, seriously. The dr. and nurses were talking about grocery shopping and everyday life while doing it. Adam was laughing and said "it must mean everything is going as planned if they are talking about that." LOL.
We were able to come home on the Thursday following delivery. It was rough coming home. I wasn't able to breastfeed, but it took a good week to figure out she wasn't getting enough. The final straw was on Wed. morning that next week at 3am Bella was crying and screaming and I was crying because she wouldn't eat and Adam didn't know what to do for either of us. Now she is doing as a baby does, eats, sleeps, and poops...lol. We are finally getting on somewhat of a schedule. She is waking herself up every 3 hours or so to eat.
We are so happy to be home and enjoying our baby girl. We did family pics on Sunday and they turned out SUPER CUTE! She did a super job during the photo session. If you are on Facebook, you can see them there.
We can't wait for her to get a little bigger when she starts cooing and laughing, we are only getting the gas smiles now. :-) Believe me, we get them often. HAHA! She has been a super baby now that we have the feedings down pat.
I am hoping to be able to keep posting her milestones and funny stories on here, but getting on the computer has been a hard thing these past couple of weeks, so there may be a space between updates. ;0)

She is almost here
So Miss Bella is getting closer to making her appearance into this world.
We have been making lots of trips to the dr. these past few weeks. I have had to go 2x weekly. They have to hook me up to the NST machine and watch Bella's heart/activity waves. With the gestational diabetes, the dr. said the placenta can stop working faster than it would in a regular pregnancy. So far, Bella has passed everyone of the tests.
We made a trip up on Wed. morning as I was having severe back pains and abdominal cramps. The dr. checked and I wasn't even dialated yet. Bella had just decided to lay directly on my pelvic bone and apply LOTS of pressure. They say it can happen when a person is on bedrest. If it is going to happen, it will happen to me. LOL.
We go back Monday for our last sonogram. This sono will determine exactly how big she is and the plan for delivery. The dr. is already pretty much saying she will be doing a scheduled csection. Again, due to the diabetes, if Bella's chest cavity is much wider than her head I will not be able to do a regular delivery for fear of once her head passes through the birth canal she will get stuck. YEAH, we don't want that. UGH!!! Especially after having the dr. tell us stories yesterday of past patients having it happen. I am all game for a csection to keep that from happening. LOL.
We are both more than ready for Bella to be here. The car is loaded with everything we need for the hospital...thanks to the mad dash we made Wed., we just decided to leave it in there. HEHE!
Being on bedrest sucks! There is only so much a person can do when they can't get up and around. :-( But I have managed I guess!!!
I am hoping to be able to keep the blog more up to date once Bella gets here with pictures and such. We shall see how well it goes.
