Hormones are driving me crazy!!

My hormones are so out of whack and it is really starting to frustrate me!!!

I know that this is so totally normal, but I don't like it! It seems like I have absolutely no patience for anyone (except Addisyn)! Cami has been so defiant!! Don't get me wrong I know it is a normal part of being 2 and then add in the new sibling (which I am sure has something to do with it) and you have a diabolical combination! Also in this defiant age we have also reached the "I Can't" Phase! For those of you reading who have yet to reach this phase I wish you the best of luck it is a difficult one to survive, and those of you survivors out there please share your pearls of wisdom!

Ernie and I are constantly in some idiotic argument because I am picking a fight! I don't want to fight with him, and I don't want to get angry with him but sometimes he just doesn't get it!! Over the last week I have had to return to the hospital for myself 3 times!! The first and second time because I developed an allergy to surgical adhesive after having Addisyn!!! Which means that all of the areas that they used any type of adhesive on me during my surgery now itched, and burned ridiculously. Apparently I also had blisters in those area's also (but I couldn't see them so I was oblivious to it till I looked!!) The 3rd time was because my incision started to come open and was getting infected!!! Well to remedy that problem my Dr put in a prescription antibiotic (Clindamycin), and sent me home with gauze and betadine!While I was already there I mentioned the Crazy back pain I had been having! I show him the vicinity of the pin and he "highly" recommends me calling the SAC ward and speaking with an anesthesiologist! Apparently they can fix it with a "blood patch" not quite sure what that entails but I will share more after I talk to the nice people in SAC!!! Two days later I am back at the hospital again with my 23day old baby girl!!! She has a yucky nasty Viral cold (which for those of you without any knowledge of small children there is nothing that can be done for her except let it run its course!) Though of course before we were told that she just had a cold we went through the dreaded RSV/ Flu possibility in which the Dr advised me that we were going to be hospitalized overnight when the results came back positive!!! Of course I got emotional and cried thinking OMG I am a bad mom because I let my 2yr old get my new baby sick I should have done this and I should have done that!!!! The thought process was never ending!! Thankfully I have an awesome mother who calmed me right down and told me there was nothing I could have done different and that sometimes these things just happen! She also told me just take a deep breath and relax that all would be well!!! And everything was (well sorta) Addi is still sick but it is just a cold and it is getting a little better!! Stupid doctors sometimes they just don't think before they make an idiotic comment to a hormonal mother!!!

UGH it feels like the stress is never ending!!!

My View on the Vote!

I have found myself more interested in political things this year than in past years! I have never known much about politics and there for have never voted cause IMHO if you don't know anything about the topics you are voting for (in other words what the people running stand for and your own personal view on those issues) than you probably shouldn't make an uneducated vote!!
That being said I have been researching the candidates for this election cycle and am torn. I am really not overly comfortable with either becoming the president of our country ! How do you make a decision like this? How do you decide who is qualified and stands for the right things if you can not agree 100% with the values that the individual stands for?!?! How do you make a decision that will not only effect the immediate future but the future of the world our children will inherit?!
Ugghh I am off to wallow in my thoughts of who to choose! I myself will refuse to vote if it comes down to flipping a coin in my own head! And the reason for that being I feel that if you can't 100% stand behind the decision you make than you should not make that decision till you can!! Just my 2cents good luck to everyone else in making there own!!

And another one is born!!!

Yes I did it!!!
I gave birth to another healthy, beautiful child!!!! Addisyn Makaia came into the world at 9:01 am on October 1, 2008!! She weighed a healthy 8lbs. 3.2oz. and was 18inches long!!
Everything about my C/S went well and recovery started off simple! I was up and walking around within 12 hours of my surgery (as soon as the spinal wore off) and the cath was removed soon after that! Recovery in the hospital was smooth sailing until I (like an idiot) decided I needed to lay flat on my back to get some sleep! Well anyone who had ever had surgery on there upper bodies know that if you lay flat on your back all of the gas that is inside of you travels to places where you do not want it and causes a great deal of discomfort and pain!!! So yeah I was an idiot and wound up causing myself a great deal of discomfort that was unwarranted! I got out of the hospital on the 3rd (Happy Birthday honey!!) and came home to an absolutely fabulously clean house (Thank you Wesli and Rachael!!) I was doing well till my incision started itching and driving me batty!!! Come to find out I have developed an allergy to surgical adhesive!! The reaction has almost completely healed up and my incision is doing great!


Cami is a wonderful big sister and has surprised us all with how well she has adapted to her new role!! Potty Training is still a process but we have not yet regressed any (knock on wood) and I hope that we continue on this forward path!!

Well everyone Ernie is back to work and I need to get some rest!! So I will add more later love to everyone!!

Frustrated!

Let me just post to any OB/GYN's who in the future may read my blog!!! It is not nice or polite or even funny to give a very pregnant woman a C/S date and then change it!!!!
For those of you who have not gotten an update as to what is going on I apologize! I went back to the OB yesterday for my pre-op appt and was informed that someone else was taking priority on the date of my scheduled C/S! So I have been bumped back 2 days! Really not happy about this and really upset about it to be honest! Frustrated because all of the planning I have done is now having to be rearranged the people who have rearranged there schedules to accommodate me and my family in our time of need are now having to rearrange their rearrangements! UGGHH I don't even know if that last sentence made any sense! So now my scheduled date is for the 1st of October. If I go into labor naturally before my scheduled date they will just take her then! So please everyone sends lots of labor dust my way! As I am waiting impatiently for Addisyn to get here!!

Not much longer!

Hi everyone!! I hope everyone is doing well and staying out of trouble! Things here in Hawaii are going well just puttering around trying to get things in order. We recently added a new addition to our house hold her name is Princess! She is a Lab mix who is just over a year old! Well behaved and well mannered (for the most part, we still have a bit to work on in that department). She has been a great addition to the family and Cami loves her very much! She has even started helping to feed Princess and let her out in the morning!Lets just hope that this willingness to care for her continues as Cami gets older! Also being added to our family (shortly after Addisyn) is Rambo, he is a Shitzu, whom we are getting from our friends Channa and John! Rambo has always been a welcome member of our household and I am extremely happy to be getting him!

Cami is doing well ornery as ever but still doing well! Potty training is still a work in progress as I am sure it will be for the next few weeks(if not longer!) But she is doing good with other things she throughly enjoys playing with her friends in the evenings. Any ideas on how to get her to eat the meals that I prepare are very welcome!! She is proving to be a very picky eater and if I try to "make" her eat what I fix she gags herself! Frustrating terrible twos! On the brighter side 3 is right around the corner!! And for anyone interested in purchasing Christmas or Birthday gifts for my girls they each have a wish list on Etoys Camille
Addisyn

Well Addisyn is growing stronger every day!! We went back to the Dr on Monday and things are looking great they did a quick ultrasound to check on her positioning (which is head down) and she is slowly making her descent into my pelvis to prepare for "natural" birth (which I won't be performing). The Dr did the GBS test and since I have been having so much pressure he went ahead and checked on my cervix just in case! I am still closed but I am 50% effaced. It doesn't seem like much but to me it is a huge thing!! I don't think I am going to make it to the 29th when I am scheduled for the C/S! The Dr didn't say in so many words, but I don't think that he thinks I will make it to the 29th!

Ernie and I are doing well just ready for Addisyn to be here! Ernie is up for his E6 exam and took it last week though he doesn't think he did very well he said it was really hard! I haven't been doing much just hanging out and cleaning house like crazy . I know the end is near because I have become a baking fiend and anyone who knows me knows I don't care for baking (I love to cook but baking is to exact for my taste!)! Well I guess this blog is getting a bit long and I need to get Cami down for a nap! I will post another update soon!!
Hugs and Kisses to everyone!!

Just an update!

Ok so the picture is a little old sue me LOL It is only from last month so no worries! I have lots of pictures from our fun Hike at Makapu'u point and I want to share them LOL!

Things here in Hawaii are going ok just kinda slow waiting 8 more weeks for Baby Addisyn to arrive and Cami is hitting the high point of her Terrible 2's (and not the good high point!!!) I am tired all of the time and it seems like sometimes I have NO patience whatsoever! Thankfully I have made some pretty awesome new friends and in the evening between them and there children I become a sane (semi) relaxed person LOL! Cami really enjoys playing with "her Guys" in the evenings and I can actually tolerate the heat! I thought I would be alright with the heat after being preggo with Cami here but it seems so much hotter now than it did then! I am sure it is because I had time for my body to adjust to the heat before I even got pregnant with Cami! And now I just freeze everyone out of our house LOL! Thank god housing picks up the electricity bill LOL I would hate to see what that looks like!

Well I guess I should update the munchkin blog! Hope everyone everywhere is enjoying life! We love and miss everyone!

Just a quick update

Ok so things have been crazy but not too crazy! I really have no excuse for why I have not blogged to let everyone know we are alive other than the fact that I am now 29 weeks pregnant and lazy LOL! For those who don't know we are having another girl her name is going to be Addisyn Makaia! Addisyn was a pretty easy name for us to come by we both aggreed on it right away now Makaia however was another story!! We tossed around Ideas like we were playing basketball, and nothing seemed to fit it was such a difficult decision and Thanks go to our good friend (and one of Cami's many Titi's LOL) Leslie! I am sure we would still be heeing and hawing over what our poor daughters name would be had you not suggested Makaia! We both wanted it to sound Hawaiian (I would love to find a meaning for it but have yet to find one) but it had to fit between Addisyn and Williams. So many thanks to you hun if you read this!!
Addisyn is developing nicely I am now 29 weeks and go back to the Dr next Monday the 28th to see how she is doing and hopefully I will discuss the process for planning our c/s.
So far we are enjoying being back on Island and LOVING the fact that we still have some friends here! It has been awesome to reconnect with them and hang out! We have also made some amazing new friends in our neighborhood and can't wait to see what kind of adventures we find ourselves in with them!
Cami is doing great she has made the adjustment like any true Military child and is really getting into the swing of things! We are trying to potty train it is going ok I could ask for it to go better but I am not complaining about the progress we have made already! Now we are just going to finish putting the house together and get ready for "baby sister" to come. Once we getinto the swing of things with Addisyn Cami and I are going to stat working a little harder on preschool type learning! We may even start before then it just depends on how long it takes to get the house fully set up and unpacked!
Ernie is enjoying his new job for the most part I know I am enjoying the hours. He is excited about the fact that they push the guys to go to school and do volunteer work while in the command! He is looking into different schools in the area and is thinking about maybe doing online schooling. Whatever he decides to do I am here to support him over and beyond 100%. All I ask of him is that he be a good husband an amazing father and an awesome man!
Wish us all luck as we are all going to be busy busy busy in the next few months but we should (hopefully) find our groove rather quickly! I hope this comes to everyone in good health, and high spirits! We love you all!
The Williams Family!

I am working on figuring out how to post lots of pictures without it completely bogging down the page!!! As soon as I do you all will have lots of pictures to see on here!!!
