Oh My Gosh!

Chase proved to be a difficult baby from the very beginning. From the very beginning I mean from the time I found out I was pregnant, I was moody and sick to my stomach at any given time of day, smells bothered me, and moody (yeah I know I already said I was just that moody!). He was bound and determined to stay just where he was. Eight days after the due date we had to induce b/c they were afraid of him being too big for me to deliver on my own. (I'll blog later about my labor & delivery with the boys a little later).
I felt so bad b/c I could tell he was working so hard to go to the bathroom & he would just seem uncomfortable & gassy. He was also moody (not surprised though). We finally decided to looking into the formula bottle factor. It took us almost three months to get the right combination but we finally go it right. We had to get a gentle ease formula, with Kyro syrup added to it, with the Soothie bottle brand. When I took him into one of his check ups & I just remember telling the Dr. that I remember how to take care of a baby but not a different person. It was such a shock but we are different from the day we are born and no on ever told me that! You don't think of a newborn as a little person with a personality but there he was as different from Zale as night and day. Chase was not a thumb sucker nor was he a paci baby and that made night time rough. He couldn't self soothe & b/c of that he didn't truly sleep through the night until almost 1 years old!
February 28 Chase was born and by July we had finally got everything figured out or so we thought. Henry had planned a camping trip for a weekend with a friend and I was going to be lefrt alone for the first time for a whole weekend with both the boys. I had noticed earlier that week that I was hungry out of no where and would need to eat something quickly but I was trying to lose the baby weight plus extra and didn't think too hard about it. However after my last bite of lunch right after Henry left I was sick to my stomach an all to familiar feeling. I wanted to tell him but he had already left and I didn't want to call him about it. So I kinda just let it go & the up set tummy went away too fairly quickly, so I thought that I was just getting all overly excited for no reason. The afternoon turned into dinner time and again as soon as I took the last bite I was immediatley sick, and I just got up put the dishes away gathered up the boys and went to the store to by a test. I wanted to just prove to myself that there was nothing to it that I was just sick of eating salads and that was all. I got home & put Chase on the bed & Zale sat next to him and there I was in the bathroom taking another test. I could not beleive I was doing this, we didn't plan on another baby we were done with two not too mention that even if we weren't having them this close was never what we wanted. Again immediatley after setting the test on the counter there it was.....a plus sign it was faint but it was there. I took the other one and that stinkin plus sign was there again faint but there. There I was looking at the tests and saying with a hand over my mouth in astonishment,"Oh.....my......gosh." over and over again I wasn't paying much attention & before I knew it Zale was standing there in front of me copying me and saying exactly the same thing while Chase was just lying there playing with his hands. I was pregnant again Zale was 2 and Chase was 4 and half months old and Henry was going to freak out! Now you would think I would pick up the phone and cal lHenry but he was camping & the phone is turned off when he's there unless he needs to make a call. So, I called a friend and she immediatley wanted to know if Chase was o.k. (it was around 10p.m. when I called) if I needed any help. I just told her no but next year I'm gonna have another little baby giving me problems. She was so quiet and she just said that she had no idea what to say. I saw her the next day & bought another box of tests on the way over & all of them said positive, I even showed them to her thinking that maybe I was reading them wrong. I'm not even kidding you the night before I was so shocked I was trying to figure out which way was horizontal and which was was vertical b/c I just knew they were worng. She confirmed it though they were positive.
Well, you could imagine I had a big surpirse to tell Henry and I could tell him in so many different ways. I bought a new baby blanket and shoved all the test (8 yes I said 8) in with the blanket and then video tped him opening it up. Oh man it was the best and I love watching it over & over it never gets tiring to watch him.
So, there we were having yet another baby. On first diagnosis the due date was just one week after Chase's 1st birthday. After our sonogram and finding out it was another boy he was measuring smaller than they thought so they pushed the date back to the end of March. One thing about due dates though it's just a guess in the long run. So we got pregnant with this baby just three short months after having Chase. We might have had a problem getting pregnant years before but appearently I had turned into fertile Mertyl.
