We all came to a unanimous decision we FINALLY found crib bedding to match our Fairies & butterflies Purple/White theme for Aaralyn’s Nursery

Here is a photo of what it will kinda look like:

I ordered it with all white trim around the blanket etc…

Two round end pieces instead of one PLUS we ordered a custom made Diaper Bag and Changing Table Pad cover all for under $500 cant believe it!

Something made and designed specifically for our little Girl….so precious!

Cant wait for it to get here so we can finish the nursery but unfortunately since it is all being made specifically for Aaralyn it wont be here for 6 weeks or more….

I ordered it from www.kustomkidsbedding.com

We’re kinda funky people so all the bedding that I found for little girls was all that country quilt stitch stuff or pink which I am soooo not about. I was so happy when I came across this site. She makes everything and ANYTHING you can think of curtains, diaper bags, stroller covers, shopping cart covers, changing table covers, diaper pail covers, diaper stackers, pillows, crib bedding and much much more….Once nursery is finished will post pics…

The white butterfly in the middle was our place seater for my sister at our wedding:

This is Aaralyns Aunt Megins Dresser:

We decided we are going to keep the walls white so we just have to finish spot cleaning the walls and get the crib (which  is a Gift from my Parents–Thank you!) the changing table, bedding and decide what we are going to do decoration wise on the walls whether Aaron will do art for them or we will buy it…

Love how its all coming together!! In case you havent guessed the theme is Butterflies and Fairies….

Aaralyn Megin Anderson Due November 20, 2009

Found out today that Baby Anderson’s size is equal to the size of a Large Mango

Just thought it was kind cool cause you always wonder in relation to the Ultrasounds exactly how big the baby is….

Immaturity or just plain ignorance amuses me especially when you try over & over to be nice and include someone in your life even when you dont particularly like them but you do it because they are Family. Then the worst is when you have done everything to try to include them they then try to outcast you from the rest of the Family by making up bullshit about their own insecurities because they feel they have entitlement for themselves and that by you being involved may take away from their pockets some how, they think everyone should just GIVE to them and they have to do nothing in return! Disgusting!

Every time you turn around they are Rude, Ignorant or just plain think they are better than you and dont have to acknowledge you even when you offer (& are denied by them) to set up a Trust fund for each of their 3 children with monthly deposits by you, send a Gift, Email or IM your treated poorly, ignored or not appreciated but yet you still keep trying because they are FAMILY!

Here’s an EXAMPLE from today:

“Person” is Available Yahoo IM
Me:Good morning nice to see you
(Mins go by) Me:Ignoring me….or not there?
Suddenly “Person” is Offline

Funny part of this whole thing is the EXCUSE this person always gives for NOT acknowledging her family is because she doesnt have time with the 3 kids…Funny though when being online only takes a second to send an email to wish someone a Happy Birthday or Fathers Day etc or reply to a message that has been sent to you instead of ignoring it or having someone else make the ‘call’ for you.

Convenient or Connection issues? Immature or Ignorant??

When they are related to you I say its just plain IGNORANT!

….you decide!

If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe ”

… I meditate on this thought basking with the sun on my face

“Change, change, change,
I want to get up out of my skin
tell you what
if I can shake it
I’m ‘a make this
something worth dreaming of ”

keeps me hoping …

My Plea: God help me, I hope I made the right decision…Please dont let me have this beautiful baby then end up dying from Cancer cause I ignored the “warning signs” and my family history…Please dont let this cyst burst or twist causing me to have to have surgery in an unsafe time where it will jeopardize this baby’s life…

So, I faxed a letter to the doctor this morning saying I was not comfortable with having the surgery that I just wanted to wait and monitor it and God forbid it ruptures or twists we will handle it then but for now I was Canceling Surgery

It was about 2 hours ago and I havent heard anything yet so I dont know what their response will be….I have another U/S scheduled for June 24th with the High Risk doctor

Aaron bought me a book on Curing Ovarian Cysts and we are going to make drastic changes to my diet…which turns out will be a benefit for baby too…We will continue to have me doing nothing unless necessary and Pray it all goes well, we have no more issues and a safe/healthy delivery in November

Thank you all for your Love and Support

So over the weekend we had to visit the E.R because I had some slight bleeding in the middle of the night. They said everything was fine with Baby, heart rate was 165 and everything measured perfectly. The cyst did not rupture as we feared and was in tact and no bigger than it was 3 weeks ago. The said they suspected I may have Placenta Previa so they put me on complete bed rest and suggested I see the High Risk doctor today

So….

We went to the high risk doctor today and had a pretty extensive Ultrasound. We do not have Placenta Previa…WOO HOO!!  The cyst on my left ovary is a bit smaller than the last time they measured it and the thickening that they were concerned about last time was not seen this time, not to say it wasnt there it just isnt seen. Baby was great a bit stubborn again I guess they enjoy afternoon naps like Mommy….
Had hard time once again getting good photos cause it was all balled up.
Heart Rate was 173BPM.

Here are the pics we got:

This is the Face Only….we are at the skeletal phase in case you cant tell….lol

Predictor still says “GIRL”!!

Now the question remains do We proceed with the surgery on Thursday because the doctors suggest to do it now or do we wait and see if something happens then worry about it then?

Weighing the pro’s and con’s and will make a decision by morning

UGH…this is so difficult

Will Keep you all posted

Menstrual disorders such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, ovarian cyst and fibroids can all respond positively to herbal medicine.

For ovarian cysts the aims are to reduce the cyst size and rectify the hormonal imbalance that has enabled them to grow.

CA-125 is a chemical found in the blood of patients with ovarian cancer. Of course the logical sequence is not that the premise is true… not all patients with cancer posses this chemical

Vitamin B and E are well represented in whole grains and have the ability to regulate the levels of hormones. Vitamin B and E have both been shown to be beneficial to both ovaries and liver.

Herbal teas based on chamomile, raspberry and mint have all been shown to sooth muscles and moods when they are tense. Acetaminophen lessens pain and brings down fever but does not act on inflammation. Aspirin and ibuprofen are anti-inflammatory. It is recommended to reduce sugar intake and to avoid both alcohol and caffeine. NSAIDs are only effective when used immediately symptoms are detected. Secondary effects include
feelings of giddiness and being nauseous.

Foods that are important to counter recurrence and lessen the discomfort are whole grains, garlic, fruits, legumes and plenty of green and raw vegetables. The items that need to be avoided are processed and refined foods, red meat, caffeine, eggs, alcohol, fat, white sugar and carbonated beverages. Do physical exercise and eat a balanced and natural diet to fight cysts.

Lady’s mantle and Raspberry leaf. Should only be used under supervision of a medical herbalist during pregnancy and lactation.

Home treatment of ovarian cysts is still an unsettled discussion
amongst in medical experts.
