Blogs.

Honestly I think my blogs are a tad boring. haha they are really more updates on our lives. oh well. im sure one day something will catch my attention enough during the day and I will think "oh i should blog about that" haha maybe. (Tom just suggested that maybe he should be a guest blogger on here, but said he was gonna blog about random stuff which I think will be a nice change. so if you see him on here then thats what we have decided to do. hope you enjoy! he is pretty damn funny so Im thinking it will be very entertaining!)
Update on the girls.
Georgia is doing great as a Big sister! Im so happy. she loves her little sister and loves to kiss her or hold her bottle (with help to keep it up right) and must see her every morning before going downstairs. Its really very sweet. Havent seen any jealousy at all. The only issues we have had are a few meltdowns b/c one parent was alone with the girls and both of them needed attention at the same time. For example, I had both girls and Gigi needed a nap and Lorelei needed to eat (and as we all know with newborns they want to eat RIGHT THEN ) well all was well until gigi wanted to be carried up the stairs. I was holding Lorelei and balancing a bottle on my arm while carrying Gigis "night night" (her blankie) and her two toys that she wanted in bed with her. So this was a meltdown waiting to happen. and it did! Gigi cried and i just sat there not knowing how i should handle this. So i asked gigi to hold my hand up the stairs and that seemed ok with her. thank god.
Tom and I are getting used to two kids and less alone time. Its def going to take some adjustment and work at making time for ourselves, but we are determined to do it. Mommy and Daddy need adult time too and its just a matter of adjusting and finding the time. :)
We had a great time this weekend at Tom's best friend Dannys wedding. Tom has been friends with Danny since they were about 12 years old and we have known his finacee Nichole for many years. We always have a great time with them and wish them the best of luck in their marriage. I will post pics later as I get them. My camera died so Im waiting on toms sister to send them. :)

Lorelei Rose

Our new little angel is here. FINALLY! Only 3 days past her due date.

Lorelei Rose Lillis was born May 11th at 6:49 pm. 7 lbs 6 oz and 21 1/4.

So I had an appt the day before my due date and I thought for sure I should have been dialated more then the last time. Nope! I was so upset. Gigi was born the day before her due date and everyone always told me that second babies comes sooner and quicker then first babies. So where was my baby!? So we left with an appt for the following monday (4 days away) and a schuduled induction for wednesday night into thursday morning. sigh. I was terrified of being induced since I heard it hurts and can take forever and more then likely ends in a c section. :(

Her delievery was pretty amazing. I woke up (monday morning, the morning of my next appt.) to go to the bathroom at about 630 am and when I sat up my water broke! I have always heard about those woman who are asleep and hear a pop when their water breaks but since its so rare for your water to actually break on its own I didnt think mine ever would. But it did. and it was cool but gross and scary. Cause I knew contractions were next and that when there is no water they hurt like hell. So I got Tom up and we started scrambling around trying to get our last minute items packed. I woke my mom and let her know we were heading out cause she would be there when Georgia got up.

Off we went to the hospital! When we got there we were put in the triage room. This is where they check you and decide whether to keep you or not. Apparently there is this test they can do to tell if your water really broke. Well the nurse did the test and NEGATIVE for amniotic fluid. HOLY CRAP! you mean it didnt break??? so what was it? She said what could have happened was when I sat up to get out of bed, the baby could have been sitting right on my bladder and I might have just peed myself. EXCUSE ME! I could not believe that. How disgusting and horribly embarrassing. We had called all the family on the way to the hospital cause thats how sure I was it was my water breaking. I was so embarrassed.

We left the hospital, I think I cried. maybe not, maybe I just laughed. I cant remember. We still had our appt to go to at 1030 that morning. I was hoping the doctor could "help it along". We called off family, who laughed a little but also felt bad for me. We stopped at Redbox so that I could get a bunch of movies and stay in bed all day and feel sorry for myself. haha I got a package of twizzlers and mint tums (i was slightly addicted to them at the end) and 3 movies. We went home and got Gigi ready to go to Nanas. She was going to the dog park while we went to my appt. I went about my business like I do everyday. I noticed I was ummm, losing fluid through out the morning (sorry to those weak stomached people reading this haha).

Tom and I got to the doctors office and told her the story and even she said that it sounded like my water broke. she also said she doesnt always believe the nurses at the hospital. They cant do a good test that checks for sure. She said she was going to check me and then check the fluid under a microscope. when she came back she said it tested positive as amniotic fluid and that what I had was prob just a very small slow leak. So she said she was going to send us off to the hospital. YAY!!! we were finally going to have a baby AND I didnt pee on myself!

So we called the family again and let them know that it wasnt a false alarm and Lorelei was finally coming.

We came home and got all our stuff, again, plus the movies I just got since distraction is key to labor for me. haha

So we got to the hospital, they got me hooked up to all my stuff. Since I wasnt having any contractions they put me on pitocin. My nurse said she would up it every 30 min and that in about 2-3 hours i should start REALLY feeling them and they should be close and strong. well she was wrong. prob an hour later it was like all hell broke loose and they were coming every 2-3 min. At one point she stopped the pitocin (i think this was when I was getting my epidural) and they were still coming, which meant my body had taken over and was doing the contractions on their own. So I got my epidural and TOmmy and I went back to watching Benjamin Button (which i didnt like by the way, and not b/c I was having bad bad contractions but b.c its basically Forest Gump with Brad Pitt.). Well about 15 min later I realized that I could still feel all the contractions on my left side. So we called the nurse back in, and she called the epi dr. doctor back in (ok it was a different lady cause my first lady was in a c section with twins.) So they gave me a shot of something that was supposed to help but it didnt so back in they came and they decided the only thing to do was take the one OUT and start over. FSFNRDGNRITHWERJAASKD! holy hell this was gonna hurt. The contractions had obviously gotten worse over time so I was in a ton of pain (at least on one side) and now they were going to do the entire epidural over again. waaaa

But once she got it in, I was in HEAVEN! it was a beautiful thing. So all this happened at around 530ish. They had checked me at 515ish (right before I got the second epidural) and the nurse said I was still only 4 cent.

At about 630 I noticed the heart monitor wasnt picking up anything. So I called the nurse and she came in, she wasnt really worried, said that the baby prob just moved. So she tried for a few min to find it. While she was doing that, my other nurse and Doctor came in. The doctor thought maybe she would check me real quick. Well she did and said "OH WELL, UM there's a baby! right there" She told the nurse to get stuff ready and they both started scrambling around getting all the stuff ready. I started getting nervous cause Im always afriad of the pushing part of labor. Like I wont be able to do it or it will hurt too much. haha

Well the doctor told me to push on the next contraction, so I did and everyone started yelling, Tommy said "oh my god there she is!" the doctor said something like "ok stop pushing" the nurse said "megan look down at your baby". and there she was! Both the nurse and doctor started laughing cause it was literally less the half a contraction before she was completely out. The nurse kept saying "I cant believe it, one minute you were 10 cent. the next minute your baby was here".

Lorelei had to be handed over right away to the baby nurse that was there b/c there was meconium when she came out. So they suctioned her. and I couldnt even breathe. Toms cousin had meconium and was rushed to another hospital and it was very dangerous and scary. Apparently baptized in the hospital cause they were that worried. So I waited and waited for them to say she was ok. Tom was standing with her. they finally said she was ok and thats when i asked tom about her lip and feet which were both perfect!

Here are some pics of her.

Enjoy and I will add more later.

Update.

Well, Im here. At my due date. and noooooo baby. I never thought this would happen. People kept telling me "second babies come early and faster then first babies". THEY LIED. LIED I TELL YOU. I had my last official day of work on wed and ended up leaving early cause I was having a very strange feeling (down under) haha. And I mentioned it to a friend and she was like "you need to call Tom ASAP to come get you cause that sounds like your water might break soon". so I got a little freaked out at the thought of it breaking AT work. I mean it would have been my fault since I decided to work that close to my due date. but still I got a little freaked. So I left, and feel REALLY bad cause apparently they were having a cake for me. opps. Sorry Karen! So I came home and a big fat NOTHING happened.
So then comes my doctors appt early thursday morning. As she is "checking" me she says "hmmm?" I said "well thats never good when the doctors says HMMM" she said she couldnt feel her head right away and that it seems she has moved to the side a little. Nothing to worry about just yet but they will check on her again on monday morning. Also they schduled me to be induced. I go in Wed night at 730 for cerifile (sp?) and then staying the night in the hospital (shit loads of fun! for me AND tom since he will sleep on this little tiny pull out chair. nothing like a 6'5 man sleeping on something a toddler wouldnt feel comfortable on). then they will start pitocin early Thursday morning. This is of course if she doesnt come on her own before then. Im soooo crossing my fingers that she does cause I heard it hurts ALOT to be induced. and it can sometimes take forever!
Tomorrow is a full moon so im praying that helps. I went into labor with gigi on a full moon. so Im still holding out a little hope. And Im ok with it since I actually have an end in sight. It cant be longer then Thursday right. haha
So while its not what i expected, it is what it is. Im just hoping she stays this lazy when she gets here. sleep sleep and more sleep. haha
Stay tuned and I will update either monday with more news from the doctor OR post new pics of the baby. :)

Still smugglin a watermelon...

So its May 2nd and I seriously did NOT think I would still be pregnant. Everyone, and their mother would always say "that is NOT a may baby! you will for sure go in late April" well, WRONGO! In fact if she comes before her due date at ALL I will be shocked. For some strange reason I think she will be late. Compared to Gigi this baby has been very calm and chill. Gigi used to play with tom when she was in my belly. He would push on my belly and gigi would push right back. He could actually make her count. He would tap 3 times on my belly and gigi would tap back 3 times. it was fun. This baby on the other hand hides. If tom tries to get her to kick him she waits until he goes away and then she starts moving and groving. haha its pretty funny actually. But I have a feeling (knock on wood) that this will be our lazy chill baby. and honestly with crazy gigi we need that.
Speaking of Georgia, she is amazing me everyday. She is just over two and is already speaking in 5-6 word sentances. When we took her to her two year appt they said most 2 year olds only speak in 3 word sentances. I was shocked. I mean, granted she is the only child at the moment, so she does get all the attention. But I dont feel like we "work" with her all that much. Then again it could be b/c she is only ever around adults. Since she doesnt go to daycare she doesnt talk to other kids. So anywho, I hope we can give the new baby as much attention as we have Gigi.
So I prob wont be on here much in the next few weeks. The baby should be here in less the a week and then I will be thhe mother of TWO. ahhhhhhhhhhh yikes. im scurd. hahaha not really.
I will try and update when I can.
