Insanity

So lately I've been really frustrated, pissed off, annoyed, Everything. I used to be a happy go lucky kinda gal and was smiling all the time, and having a good time, just all the time. Now, not so much. I don't know what's been getting me SOO down lately, but I don't like it. I want the old Chelsey back and I'm not sure how to find her. I feel like I need to get away from everything and anything and just do some soul searching. I'm getting irritated easily lately and I feel bad for Devin who is having to put up with me. )-: I know that part of the problem is that I want a baby so badly, and it just isn't happening for us. Everyone keeps saying, "it will happen soon", but it never feels like it's soon enough. I feel like I'm behind the time and my times a tickin. I want to add a baby to our little family and start the adventure of Parenthood with Devin. We have Everything we need for a baby and everything we could ever dream of having. The only thing we really need to buy would be more diapers. Between a lady that I babysit for and our friend Ben & Christina, we have everything we need, except a baby. Please Lord bless us with a baby...... (-:

On a side note, I started working out about a month ago on the Jillians Michael weight loss program. It's a combination of eating a certain amount of calories and doing circuit training. I have only lost about 2 pounds, but I've lost some inches off my waist and my hips which is nice. I'm mad because I didn't take measurments when I first started, I only took them a week ago so I don't know how I first started. Dang, oh well. I thought working out was supposed to let out happy endorphins and all would be well, but nope! I am sleeping better in the night though and I go to bed very tired.

I sold one of my guns the other day and replaced it with a smaller one that I could wear instead of having it in my purse. I feel bad when I take my purse places and there's kids in the house. Who knows if one of them might go in there when I'm not looking and take it out and play with it. It's a safer bit to not have a gun in my purse all around. This is what I got! This isn't the exact one that I got, but this is for reference on how small it is! I think it would do the job if I ever got into a precarious situation.

I got to go on a ride along with my friend Ben on Saturday night. He is a Sheriff Deputy with the King County Transit Police. We went out and along all the bus routes in Seattle areas. We got to wake up Bums or people that were sleeping in the bus stop, Stop people from smoking and drinking in them as well. He handed me a list of things that are illegal to do when you are at a bus stop and I couldn't beleive how many items were on that list. We also drove around scanning license plates all night looking for something that wasn't "Clear". We found one lady that had a suspended license from Bremerton, but we didn't arrest her, we let her go with a warning. We also found a kid that was 17 and was smoking and drinking in the bus shelter. He also had a suspension from riding the bus for a year from a robbery on a bus. Ben handcuffed him, took all his posessions and placed him in the back of the car. I then listened to his sob story about nothing in life was his fault and he began to cry. I stared forward because I didn't really want to talk to him. Ben called his mom and let her know what was going on, and then we released him to walk home. We didn't get to arrest anyone and take them to jail, BUT I got all on questions answered and feel slightly better about Devin possibly going into law enforcement. I had a great time, and it was a such a fun experience to be able to see what he does on a daily basis, and to get to know my friend just a little better as well. I am truly grateful for him and him being able to put his life on the line everyday when he goes to work. I think that Police Officers are underestimated for the jobs that they do everyday. It takes a wonderful person to be able to do so, and an even stronger spouse/family to be ok with letting them go everyday.

Devin spent all nights last week going to hunting class. He left work at 4pm and drove straight to sultan about an hour and 40minutes away. He was then at class till 9pm and drove home. He got home nightly at 10:15pm. )-: It was hard without him there for most the week, but we did it and he ended up passing the class with a 100%. I'm so proud of him for working so hard and getting his license. He is now going deer hunting this weekend with Ben (which is the last deer hunting weekend here) and then he gets to hunt duck till January. I am excited and hopefull that he will be able to bring home a deer and to come home safe!

Well that's a little update over the last month!

So I've realized it's been a while since I've blogged, it was getting to the point where it felt like no one actually is reading these things so I didn't care. Alot has happend since August. We celebrated our 2 years wedding anniversary on September 29th. We went on a hot air Balloon ride to celebrate. It was amazing, and totally worth the time and Money spent. We started meeting at a Winery in Woodinville where we met the 2 vans and all the poeple. We then got into the vans and drove to a location in Maltby. We all got out and they filled a balloon with helium to watch it go up so they can see which way the winds were going. when they decided that it went too far West we drove over East more and found a spot by a church in a huge open field.
(This was the end of our ride after we landed)

This is us at the Winery waiting for the Vans to come.

These are the 2 vans parking at the Winery. Everything they need was on that traiolr.

This is our "pilot" at the fields when they started taking in all off the trailor to set it up.

And I was SOOO excited!!!

They hooked the balloon up to the basket and put fans on each side to inflate it a little so they could get all the twine and ropes un crossed.

Looking inside was Awesome looking!

This is the top where they had to secure all the strands.

And my cutie hubby posing as they started to raise the balloon up.

To catch a moment in time together!

This is when we took off. It was really cool how they did it. They hooked a long rope to the front of the van, and connected it to the bottom on the basket. They then made the fire with the propane as it started to lift up. When we were lifting up enough off the ground, they then unhooked us and away we went!

This was our trail balloon. It was REALLY cool being able to see them lift up after us, and it was fun watching them behind us since you can't see yourself.

This is the veiw looking up the middle of the balloon. It was such a pretty day and it was about 65 out, but with this flame, it kept me nice and toasty in my tank top.

This is a lake that used to be open to hunters coming out to duck hunt. Since they closed that down, it is now a private lake that people live on. The Pilots do touch and go's on this lake when the wind is just right. We didn't quite get all the way down to the lake, but we got pretty close.

This is a veiw from the balloon over looking to Seattle. If you look close enough you can see the space needle and keep in mind, we were in Woodinville. That's such a beautiful view.

This is our follow balloon, you can see how close they came to the lake. It was amazing.

Oh my hubby. He was SOO nervous to do this, and by his kind graces he knew I wanted to so bad, he sacrificed him being scared to take me. However, once we got off the ground about 100feet, he was no longer scared! What a trooped, I love him!

And us! Yeah!

Our pilot talking away! At one point he offered us an in flight cocktail, which turned out to be a bottle of water. It was a tiny bottle too. The only thing he asked we that we keep the bottle inside the basket. Hmmm, I wonder why?

This is a view of a Winery that we flew over, and a veiw also looking straight down! It was magical!

This was the other balloon landing in the field after us. It was so cool watching it come down over the power lines and everything. It was an amazing trip and we will always remember it! hmmm, I love you hubby. <3>

Cat Naps

We have been go go go the last few days. We are now down to 4 kittens in the house and 2 of them are going to the neighbors this upcoming Monday. Which mean we will have the 2 left that we are keeping. Dolc'e and Gabbana. Dolc'e is a girl and Gabbana is a boy. They look identical only Dolc'es face is a little wider. Devin was so tired the other day he decided to take a nap with his little dolc'e. Here is a picture of Gabbana, I've just now realized that I haven't really taken any of him and I'm a little sad about that.

This is the last group shot that I got of all 7 before they started leaving us. If you look at it, Dolc'e and Gabbana are the only ones that are looking AT me, the other ones could care less. It has been a fun ride with them, but MyLee(the mamma) has been the most overprotected animal I have ever seen. She has gotten in countless fights with our other fluffy cat Myzzie over nothing. Myzzie will come into the house from the cat door and MyLee will start attacking her. I'm pretty sick of it. I would have loved to have the kitties around for a long time but it's better that they are going so the house can get back to normal.

These are our babies now, since everyone that I was pregnant with are now starting to deliver, it's nice to be able to have some babies in the house to try to get my mind off of it. SIGH.

A new Best Friend

So 4 weeks ago out cat Mylee had 7 kittens, and over the last 4 weeks it has been really fun and hard having them around. I have been trying to handle them as much as possible to get them used to people and trying to get them used to dogs as well. We have successfully made best friends with Maui and her and it just happens to be the one that we are keeping.Her name is Dolc'e and she is the sweetest kitten. Every time I come home from work and she hears my voice she instantly wakes up and is meowing for me to pet her. She is also the first in her litter to use the litter box and to have the first poop in there too. She is such a cuddle bunny and oh so friendly.

ALL of our kitties are starting to get friendly and sweet. They all wake up and start meowing for attention. when you pet them, they stop meowing. It's so very sweet. I need to take some pictures of all of them so everyone can see them. We have about 4 who have homes, and need to find the other 3 good homes. they are very loveable people, so if you are looking for one, they are free!!!!

Baby Kitties Have Arrived

So last Sunday Mylee (our 1 and a half year kittie) had her babies. We unfortunatly had to leave her RIGHT before she started. She was pacing around the room going in and out of her box and meowing. She would also growel everytime she had a contraction. When we got home 5 hours later we checked on her and she had delivered what appeared to be 6 babies. (I was hoping for 4 just so they would be easier to get rid of, but lately god has has WAY different plans then what Devin and I have). I started petting Mylee and she got up to come see me. SURPRISE, there was one hiding. She had SEVEN, SEVEN baby kitties. Holly cow, what were we going to do now. Ugh. So we showed the neighbors (they already planned on taking one, but they are now taking 2) and we are keeping one, so that's 3 down and 4 more to go now. We ended up with 1 Grey striped (which the neighbor is taking) 2 PURE black (not a mark on them) 3 brown/black/grey tiger stripe (neighbor is taking one of those and we are keeping one) and 1 Tortie (like her mamma).

I touched them alot that night and Mylee got pretty ticked at me and refused to feed them. It was a battle with her for the next 6 hours trying to keep her in that room with them. We would close the door and she would claw at it for a while, and meow, and she even pushed the screen off the window and ecaped onto the back deck. We kept her in there overnight and during the day while we were at work. Eventually, she got back into the swing of things, and she now spends almost all her time with them. In one week I can't believe how much they have grown. They are already getting so cute and so soft. I check on them everyday to make sure they are all still breathing and still with us. She hasn't shown any signs in wanting to move them at all and I'm so happy about that.

Here are just a few photos of them, since when I pick them up they cry and Mylee doesn't like that.

This Tiger is personally my favorite!

This is the only Grey one.

Mamma and all 7 babies.

Doing OK

(This is Tatum's Urn. We keep it on the fire place mantel with my dad's urn)
So, we are doing ok. Father's day was a little hard (especially because we lost Tatum a few weeks ago and my dad passed this last October), but we started doing some projects around the house and just worked together. We made it through the day together!!!

My milk I think has finally cleared up and is gone, and I have started missing my old boobs, and old body. I have lost half my baby weight, and I still have 4lbs to go. We are walking everyday with the dog (and I'm talking LONG walks, either 1 mile, or 1 hour) and I started back on weight watchers again. I hate the feeling when you start because you feel hungry ALL the time, and boy do I feel hungry. It makes me want to eat much much more then I did while I was even pregnant, that and since I know i'm not supposed to have cookies, it makes me want them more. But i'm hanging in there and not giving in, at least not every night. I want to get back down to my pre-baby weight. I can fit back into my normal jeans (some of them are a little tight, but I can button them and wear them all day). Physically I'm feeling great, just emotionally once in a while I'll get a little sadness. We went down to a street Fair in Puyallup this last weekend and there were pregnant ladies everywhere, and that made me sad. I know that we will get another chance again, but it's sad for the one that you lost. I love the fact that we got to see her and hold her, and we have a few pictures from the photographers (Now I lay Me Down To Sleep) and I love those even more. It helps the healing process for me to have these beautiful photos of Tatum for us to keep. I printed out one of them so far and it's in a frame in her room. It's precious and beautiful! I feel so lucky to have that!

July 7th is our check up appt. At that appt we should be getting back my blood results and the placenta results. We are hoping that it all can give us some insight to what happend, but most of all if we are ok to reproduce and try again with out the fear that the placenta will fail again (we are pretty sure it was the placenta). We would like some good news after all the bad news. If we can figure out the finacials again I think we will end up trying again in 3 some months.

Devin has a test today for a new career path (I'm not allowed to say what it is yet). I know that he will pass this test, and when he does he will probably start this new direction within 4 months. At that point he will be a lot happier with his job and hopefully be ok with me getting the new career that I want (stay at home mommy).

That's about it for what's been happening with us. We are just hanging in there and loving on eachother more and more. Life is still turning around and we are turning with it, we are just trying to get back to a normal life, with the normal every day happenings! Don't be afraid to talk to us, we really are doing OK!

Our Birth Story, Tatum Hailey Trowbridge

I figured since it's been a week that I would finally sit down and type out this birth story.

We went in on Thursday May 28th to get a growth check. The appt. didn't go as well as we thought and much to our surpirse there was no longer a heart beat. She checked the blood flow to the head and the heart areas and there was no more blood flow. She had passed away and they don't know exactly when. We then headed down stairs to our normal Dr. office to talk with our OB. We got down there and immediatly got a room. Our Dr. came in to talk with us and get my vitals, and then to talk about the next step. She was going to be out of the office for the weekend, so she wanted us to schedule the birth for Monday. That was going to be hard knowing that I was walking around with a dead baby in me for that amount of time, but I wanted her as my Dr. there so I agreed.

Saturday we got scheduled to go down to Swedish to OB Triage so that they could start my dialation process. When I got there they checked me and I was about a finger tip dialated, so at that point my body had gotten the message and started it on it's own. However they wanted to help the process along to make sure I was ready for Monday. I will only partially discribe the process as it's gruesome and just plane MEAN. The had to stick these dialater up me and there were 7. They leave them there and they release some sort of chemical that helps with the dialation. It's very uncomfortable but yet they tell me to go home and relax and maybe see a movie if I'd like. This was at 3 in the afternoon and there was no way I was doing anything but laying on my couch taking in all the Vicodin that I could.

Sunday morning came around and I woke up at 8am. Layed in bed for about 30 minutes when I started feeling slightly crampy. I then went and took a shower and just sat there as this pain started and I just couldn't sit anymore. I got out and warned Devin that he may want to think about packing his bag and taking his shower. I then went and woke up my mom (who was staying with us in our guest room) and warned her that she may want to get up and start getting ready. (she had kinda explained the night before what contractions felt like, so I got the heads up a little). I then went directly to my bed in my towel and just layed there as I was told to count how long between the contractions. It started at 7 minutes apart. I rolled out of bed and put my sweats on along with a tank top. I had already packed my bag on Saturday just in case they had to addmitt me when we went in. When they got to 5.5 minutes apart I had Devin call the Dr. to see if we should head in yet. The nurse told him to have me Drink some water (because I could be dehydrated) and then to have me take a shower. WHAT???? Is she kidding me? Seriously? So I drank some juice to see if that would help. Then they got 4 minutes apart and mom left to get Tom and meet us at the haospital. I got up from the couch and headed to the rest room because I was starting to feel slightly nauseous and Devin handed the garbage can to me and it looked gross. I made it right into the bathroom and opened the toliet just in the nick of time, to progectile Vomitt over and over again. I was not feeling very good at that point. So I sat back on the couch and started counting some more as Devin watered my flowers for me and got the bags in the car. When they got to 3 minutes apart we took off for the hospital which was about 40 minutes away. Well, when we got into the car they started to be 1.5 minutes apart and I hated time right then. I would just look at the clock in the car and think to myself "oh dang here another one comes" right before it would happen. I think that was the fastest trip to Seattle that Devin has ever taken. I'm not sure how fast he was going becuase I had my eyes closed everytime a contraction came, but I'm sure at one point that I saw him going about 90. FINE by me at that point the sooner we could get there the better!

Once we got there it was a painful walk through the lobby and up the stairs to get back to the OB Triage while walking through those stupid contractions. I got onto the bed in so much pain that I didn't really want anyone to talk to me. They took the dialators out (which they only found 6, so somewhere there is another one that they STILL can't locate) and they never checked to see how dialated I was. What is wrong with people? I layed in that bed for what felt like a lifetime waiting to get a birthing room. It's a good thing that Devin has family conections because his parents had called in the friend who is an Anesthesiologist and I guess he used to be cheif of staff there too, so he made a call and got us a bed. So right before I got moved i felt like I needed to pee so Devin went with me to the bathroom (after taking about 10 minutes to get out of the bed) and I then just sat there going through contractions leaning my head on his because I was exhausted and in pain. Nothing happend so I got back up and as I walked out the door they got me a wheel chair. I sat down and felt like I had to throw up again. They handed me a little pink dish that I threw up in a few times until they had to give me a bucket. They wheeled me to the room and I felt like I was going to die.

They got me into the room and onto the bed. Our friend Paul came in and tried to give me an IV before he did the epideral. Problem was that I was so dehydrated that they couldn't find a good vein for quite some time. He finally got it in and then I had to sit kinda sideways on the bed so he could get the epideral in. He missed the first time and my heart started racing and my ears were ringing and the 2nd time was a hit and a go. I still felt them a little bit but not as painful as before. He bid us fairwell and wished us luck and he was on his way. I got to lay in the bed on my left side (because it was the most comfortable position I could be in). The nurse checked my signs and then walked out of the room. Within 5-10 minutes of getting the epideral I felt this really weird sensation and I had Devin get the nurse. She checked me and then looked at me and said "oh hunny, that was her head". I looked back at her and said "oh that's disgusting". At that point I told my sister, her hubby, mom and tom to leave the room so we could be alone while birthing the rest of her. It took about 30 minutes to get the whole thing done, especially because I could no longer feel the lower half of my body. She came out all in the sack and they took her and cleaned her up. We then got to see her and be alone for a few minutes. We had the family come back in to be with us. She was born at 1:15pm. Total labor time was 4 hours and 45min. Her name is Tatum Hailey Trowbridge, she weighed 9.1oz, and was 10inches long. She had beautiful hands and feet with the cutest nails on them.

We had some photographers (a company called, Now I lay me down to Sleep) come and take pictures of her for us for when we are ready. They also got our family photo for us. It was very hard, but I'm SO glad that I had Devin there with me the entire time to take care of me. He was and still has been a wonderful support system to me and I love him even more every day for it.

I took a few days off from work and just layed on the couch on percocete and vicadin. On Wednesday morning my milk decided to come in. I spent the next 2 days on the couch with cold wash cloths on me trying to keep them from leaking. Didn't work, it just kept a little of the pain down. IT's been 5 days now and they are still slightly leaking but seriously deflating fast. That part is sad. Yesterday was a hard day and I'm sure there will be many more hard days to come that I'm not looking forward to. Anyways, that should be it, but here is our first and only family photo with Tatum (you can't see her because they did cover her up)....

Devin's TATTOO......

On Monday Devin decided that for his Grieving process he wanted to get something to remember her by. He decided to get her foot prints tattooed on his body (hist first and I'm sure only tattoo). We went down to the tattoo shop and it took about 30 minutes. It's almost all the way healed now and I get a little emotional every time I look at it. I'm glad he got it done! So here it is, and you can see the size comparison of her little foot next to my pinky finger...

Sad Day

So yesterday we went in for an Ultrasound to check the growth, and to much of our surprise, little baby Taytum was no longer with us. She wasn't moving, there was no heart beat, and there was no more blood flow between her and the placenta.
Saturday we are going in to start the inducing process, and on Monday morning at 7am we will check into Swedish Medical Center to go through the labor and delivery process. Once she is born her body will be released to a funeral home, that will do the cremation for us. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers so that everything on Monday may go as well as it can. We made it through 26 weeks of pregnancy, and now it's time to say good bye to her.

Quick little update

I just wanted to give a quick little update about the baby. I don't want to explain everything from the beginning but here's what's going on lately.

We started going to a new hospital (Sweedish Medical downtown Seattle) where the Doctors gave us different information then the ones that we have been seeing (at Valley Medical). This ultrasound shows that her brain is full and her heart is full, and her kidney's look fine. We then got an amnio done that day to find out if she has any syndromes on why she is so small. She was 4 weeks behind at that appt.

We saw an Echo Dr. a few days later that checked her heart. All her chambers are there, but she might have a possible hole between her bottom 2 chambers, and a possible blockage in her aeortic valve. We have another appt. with them sometime in June. If she is born with these problems she can get open heart surgery within a few days and that will fix the problems. The Dr. seemed very positive about her heart being just fine and being able to be fixed just fine.

AMNIO- came back Normal. They did 2 different tests on it. The first one was a fast track that was 98% accurate (which was normal) and the 2nd test came back on Tuesday and that was normal the rest of the 100%. So we are in the clear with her. There is nothing Wrong with the baby itself. They are thinking that it might have to do with my placenta. The last ultrasound that they did showed that it was abnormally bigger then what it should be. The blood flow looked fine going through the placenta to the baby.

So they haven't figured out anything with her size and why she is 4 weeks behind in growth, and there aren't really any other tests that they can do to figure it out. The plan for now is to just keep going check ups and ultrasounds every 3-4 weeks to watch her growth. Our next appt. is on next Thursday the 28th and we should know just a little bit more on her growth size. She isn't really kicking too much more lately, although I have felt her ONCE with my hand. Other then that she just mostly rolls and I can feel that pressure.

I appreciate everyones thoughts and prayers that have gone into her and her success so far. We are slightly hopeful now but aren't getting our hopes up too much. We still haven't bought much, just the absolute necessesities, the crib and the car seat.

Well that's all I got for now, things are looking slightly up.....

Here is the 24 week belly pic, it's still not too big:

And here we have her hand saying Hi to everyone!!!

Hawaii Vacation!

So we took a much needed Vacation to Maui. We went for a week and got away from it all. We flew out on Friday the 17th and came back Thursday night the 24th.Here we are at the airport waiting to catch our plane.Here's the plane!Here we are on the plane happy that we can finally see land!The land we see! Finally to Maui! When we got to Maui we got our rental car which was a Convertible Sebring, not the greatest car but it did get us everywhere we wanted to go, and we only used a half a tank! We got to the hotel which was the Ka'anapali Beach Club and here are some views from the room...View from the Balcony toward the waterView from the balcony to the Koy PondOf View of me on the balcony. The View from our door going down to another Koy pond and the restaurant area in the middle of the rooms.another view from the balcony on a bad day.

Once we got settled there we went swimming down at the pool for movie night. They were playing 27 dresses, we watched a little as we swam and then it was time for bed. We spent the next day putting around and then going on a dinner cruise that night. It was ok, the weather was good, the food was ok and the magician was ok. I wouldn't reccomend that trip but it was an adventure. WE did see a few whales while we were out there, so we got one on the camera, it was a picture right before it came up out of the water, the thing was massive.

WE spent the next few days lounging around a visiting Lahina (front sreet) where we shoped and ate at some restaurants, here are some of the Lahina photos:

WE rented some Snorkel equipment (it was sad because I have such a small face that the normal size didn't work for me and it leaked, so we had to go back and get a childs size mask for me)and did snorkeling outside of our hotel, (an I got a panic attack the first time in the water, so Devin had to go out for a while with out me) so here are some views from the beach and those fishies:

Ok so we did take a Snorkeling trip. We were supposed to go to Molakini, but the weather was severely bad the day we decided to go. So we ended up going out farther to an area that is a reserve. Much to our surprise when we got there, there were dolphins in the water that we got to jump in and swim with. I was SOOO happy about that since the "swimming with dolphins at the place" was off limits to pregnant women. But out in the open ocean they can't Stop me. MMMMWWWWAAAHHHHHH. Anyways, we didn't see much out there because it was murky because of the wind, but we did get a few photos of that trip! Totally worth it!

So here are just a few random ones from the week:
The last day. The last day we took it easy. We had dinner plans at the Lahina Grill (very upscale restaraunt) so, we played mini golf, and then went to dinner.. so here are the photos from the last day)-:So I know there are a lot of pictures, but so many people have been requesting them that I tried to get them all on one post. People it took me seriously 5 days to do this post, so I hope you really enjoy the pictures and the not so much commentary.
