The weekend!

Well the weekend is almost over and what an interesting weekend it has been...or not lol. First of all it was Ryan's weekend to work all day on Saturday, I HATE HATE HATE those weekends. When he has that full day it feels like the week never really ends because we only get him home for a day and then its back to Briggs. Anyway that made the weekend start off sluggish just because I had nothing to look forward to then Fallon has been not sleeping for the past week and I am EXHAUSTED. She is not hungry, not wanting her paci ,not wanting anything, except for to be fussy and in the end that makes for one sleepy mommy. So I finally gave in and on Saturday called my father in law and asked for help. I hate asking for help but I needed some sleep, and to clean my house, and to shower. So anyway, after finally giving in while waiting for my father in law to come get Sully I got this plan in my head about what to do with the rest of my day. It was around noon, and I decided once Sully was gone I was gonna feed Fallon, then with any luck get her to sleep, take a quick shower, lay down for a nap, set an alarm, and then get up and clean. Well out the window went my plan! Sully left, I fed Fallon, and in the process of getting her to sleep fell asleep myself around one thirty or so and the next thing I knew I was waking back up and it was five thirty. Talk about sleepy!!! It felt good but I was mad I didn't get anything done. Why is it that when mom's get five minutes to themselves they feel they should be cleaning or cooking or just trying to get stuff done!? And then when we fall asleep instead of doing what needs to get done we feel guilty for taking some time to give ourselves some much needed rest or relaxation? Suppose that is one thing I need to learn because I am a mom who feels guilty for taking time to myself. I rarely get it, and even when I do I still feel bad for having gotten it. Anywho to wrap up my blog about the weekend....Sully stayed the night at grandpas...AWESOME stuff! Ryan and I went to bed at ten thiry last night...I felt old lol, down one kid and we were ready to pass out! I remember the days when it was like YAY no kid for the night lets stay up late, then we would still pass out at ten thirty haha! Man do kids take some energy but I love having them even if I am exhausted. We have spent our sunday doing mostly nothing. I made doughnuts this morning, we picked up Sully, and have been dealing with a cranky Fallon all day. Now its off to make dinner and get Sully in the tub in hopes of getting to bed by ten thirty again. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

A few basic facts!!!

Well hey everyone!!! Not sure why but I figured heck I am a stay at home mom I love the net why not start a blog lol!! I always need places to vent thoughts and shoot it could be fun! Anyway for those of you who don't know much about me at all or just not much about me these days. I am Amber..Dembkowski now used to be Workman! I am married to Ryan he and I have been married three years now and have been together for four. We have two kiddos! Sully Michael, who will amazingly be three on Tuesday I am in aww of that little fact. He is an adorable little monster lol but we love him! Next Fallon Elisabeth, who is just six weeks old but still has loads of personality already and is amazing us every day! Shes also an adorable little munchkin! I say munchkin simply because she's still too little to be a monster yet lol. We live in Manhattan,KS have lived here since '04 except for a short six month move to Pittsburg,KS last year. We love it here! Its small enough to not be overwhelming but big enough to satisfy that need for a city urge. Ry works at a dealership here in town..Briggs...he loves his job! He is such a people person and so dedicated to work. I am a stay at home mom. I love it! Being at home with my kids is such a rewarding experience in itself. Yes some days pulling out my hair sounds like a wonderful idea but most days that subsides because of a smile or a hug or a kiss because of the appreciation and love my son has for me or a coo or cuddle with daughter. Anyway those are just a few of the basic facts about our little family! I figured I would start with that and then go from there! Alrighty well until next time bye bye!!!

Kiddo Update!!!

Hey Everyone!!! Well Fallon is a month old already!!!! Its nuts! I think the first month in particular flies by so quickly. She is growing and getting bigger and bigger each day! At her one month check-up she weighed 8lbs 14 ounces and is now 21 inches long! So now she is at Sully's birth size lol. She can hold her head up and loves looking around and she smiles a lot, but we figure thats just gas lol! Sully adores her! He is always talking to her and shaking rattles for her to look at and cuddling up to her, and holding her! He has taken to his new sister very very well and thats about the best thing we could have asked for. Yes he is jealous a little but nothing that we can't handle. Ryan and I are doing great! Fallon is a good sleeper so that has helped us keep our sanity lol. I am doing great healing fine just learning to handle two kids instead of one! Anywho not much more to update about so HAPPY HALLOWEEN hope everyone has fun and is doing well.

Fallon's Birth!!!

Hey everyone so I haven't really said much about what happened with Fallon was born so I thought I would update my blog to let people know how things went!!! Well for starters she was early by a week she was born on the 17th instead of the 25th. I can't complain though hehe I got to meet her sooner this way! I am not sure what set off things but my water broke at 4:30 a.m. on the 17th I was a little freaked out at first lol but once I calmed and took everything in I realized I couldn't go to the hospital yet lol I had too much let to do before her birth! Then realizing I couldn't do it all I settled for I wanted to have a clean house before I went to the doc lol so I cleaned then we headed for the hospital. We got to the hospital around 6 a.m. found out that my water had for sure broken and I was dialated to a two so the docs and nurses started on prep for an emergency c-section. We went in for surgery and she was born at 8:22 a.m. weighing in at 7pds 3 ozs and 19 and a half inches long. She came out and was in wonderful shape and the surgery went beyond wonderfully!!!!!!! I can't even begin to explain the ease and relaxation that came along with the surgery and the hospital visit it was all just so wonderful. Since the hospital and being home she is doing great eating and sleeping well and I am healing up very nicely from surgery anxious to be done with the first two weeks of healing as they are the hardest. Sully is very curious about his sister, he seems to really like her and want to talk to her but he is rebelling of course to mommy and daddy but we expected it so its not that upsetting to us. Well not much more I can say if anyone has any questions feel free to ask other than that I just want to say thank you all for all of your congratulations and compliments I am a very very proud and thankful mommy and wifey!!!!

Two Weeks Left!!!

Hey everyone figured I hadn't updated on the baby lately wanted to let everyone know whats going on! Had a doc appt today did another sonogram Fallon looks great!!!! She weighs around 6pds 6oz which is well, great!!! At this point we are just patiently waiting for her arrival. Not dialated at all yet doc is very optomistic about the way things look considering the scheduled c-section and all. Unless something changes drastically in the next few weeks we will be meeting our little girl exactly two weeks from today September 25th!!!!! I won't post anymore blogs about her until she is actually here so hope everyone is ready for fall can't wait to blog again and post pics of our baby girl!!!!!!!!

Bab Update 35 Weeks!!!

Hey everyone!!! Well I had a doc appt and a sono appt this and a diabetes appt lol so its been a busy week. Anywho at my doc appt found out that everything is going great! I have to start doing non stress tests once a week just to make sure that Fallon is ok. Basically I get hooked up to a machine and they monitor her movements and heartbeat and then my contractions for about 20 mins. Did one this week and it went great! Still haven't gained much weight but doc isn't concerned about that at all.

Doc wanted us to have a sono appt to make sure she was doing good in terms of size because Sully was a big baby and because of the diabetes there is a risk for a big baby. Fallon is looking great! Weighing in at 4pds 1oz right now! Which is wonderful! She was head down at my doc appt then at the sono appt she was head up so she is still flipping which would explain some of my discomfort. Fun thing that happened at the sono is Fallon started sucking her toes and fingers all at the same time lol. It was something to see all hands and feet and nose and then all put straight into her mouth. We got a few pics but really they are blurry and would have to be explained so I am not gonna post them. Oh we also got to confirm that she is a girl!!!! It was very easy to see lol she cooperated very well.

Diabetes is going great...I am on insulin and still on my same diet but no troubles with that so far. We are all doing great here just patiently waiting for Sept and Miss Fallon to get here. Still the same date for the c-section Sept 25th. Hope everyone is doing good and had a great summer!

Baby Almost 30 Weeks!!!

Hey everyone! Well miss Fallon is doing great! According to everything she is growing just fine and her heartbeat is great! It was funny because she actually kicked the heartbeat monitor while they were checking her heartbeat. She is a very active baby which reassures me that she is healthy. Not much else to report really. I am doing good starting to get uncomfortable as she is getting bigger. My diabetes is going ok. My numbers are getting high and I will most likely be put on insulin in the next month or so, but that's life. We are gonna start working on her room this week so once we get that done I will post some pics. Hope everyone is doing great
