Tati had her baby: Thomas, our Godchild this past Friday November 3rd. He was 7,9 ponds, 20.5 inches long! Very close to Noah’s measurements, just a little more and Benjamin…
It was the first birth I was able to participate in (but not on labor - LOL) I was so excited and happy to be there! She nursed him not long after he was born. It was very special for me having her sharing this awesome miracle!

Noah’s birth
a back post on Noah's birth
Tuesday I felt something happening, the contractions during the night were pretty intense, I got up to start timing them and just like and on/off switch they stopped was I got up. So Wednesday when I went to the hospital I thought I was already in labor and things were just going to progress after that. I never got checked once I got there, last time I had I was about 3 cms. By 11 am nothing have had happened, then fast after that the contractions started coming, stronger and stronger, faster and faster…
The nurse offered for pain medication, I denied… and a few minutes go by I’m bagging for it! She checked me, 6 cm…
Within the hour I got pain relive, Dr Metherd walks in right at that time, checks me: 9cms/90% effaced & he says: “Your water is going to break soon” After that he checked one more time: “Faster progress then I expected - you are ready, but where is the head? – Nurse, get me a ultrasound machine please” And as soon as he put the ultrasound on my stomach BOOM, everyone could see his big round head right at the top of my belly…
I wish someone was there to help me out with this decision. Have a c-section or not? Breach? What is that again? I heard that word before – I did! Can I do it? Do woman have baby vaginally when they are breach? Ohh Lord! Those 5 minutes were the more horrifying for me! I so wish Randie could be there to tell me I could do it/or not!
I asked the Dr. and he says “I highly recommend a c-section”
I wish I knew this was going to happen, I would not have waited so long to get an epidural!!! Here I was trying to go as far as I could without any drugs and ended up in the OR!
The people there were: Dan, Daniela, Nicole stopped by for a little while, Linda, Carrie, Shannon & Beth Ann. We had my mom in the web can but due to the surgery she wasn’t able to watch it.
There’s more… I just need some time to sit and write!

4th of July
I’m *SO* mad – We missed the parade today. I could swear it started at 11 am; I talked to some friends right before we left home & it was almost over. I’m glad we didn’t make all the way there to find that out because then I would be REAL made! I felt bad for Claudia who never saw it before! I can’t get over it!
We hanged out at a friend’s house in the afternoon to celebrate the 4th! The food was very good and we had a good time. Dan seasoned some steaks – it was awesome and another Brazilian couple brought a “Picanha” Hmmm! Delicioso!
Again I was glad for not having anything at our place when we got back and the house was… not necessarily clean but at least in order!
Benji had a blast with boys around his age and lots of toys. The bad weather did not affect us in any way – and our grass was very happy! I’m still very nervous for how he’s going to act when the baby comes. I with it could happen while Claudia is here – things would be much easier!
I got her to help me with the folders for the mom’s group. With all the paper I want to include a CD with about 20 kid’s songs in Portuguese as well a bumper sticker with the “logo” I made. We are already with 12 moms connected to the group community!
Lebanon had fireworks last night (I never knew that). It was gorgeous! We sat on our deck and got to see Mason’s, a little of Kings Island from the front yard, lots of people in the neighborhood and LOTS from City of Lebanon. Apparently Lebanon spent thousands of dollars in fireworks! If I knew it I would have invited people over because it was pretty neat! Especially because we never had to deal with parking, crowds or anything like that! It was literally like from like 9:30-11PM non-stop!
Julie was having pretty bad contractions a couple of days ago, I wonder if she went in labor – she said to Claudia she would call but you never know what it’s gonna go thru your mind during labor!
Kroger had some very good sales on organic items… as well on pop and ice cream (Signs!) Then by the cashier I saw this baby names book and got it…
Dan said: “I think I’m ok w/ Carter” – WOW! Are we finally agreeing on something? I wonder why he changed his mind. Maybe because I don’t care for Carter anymore? LOL
I came up with Landon but not sure since it’s a neighborhood pretty close to here. Patrick it’s cool but because of Sponge Bob’s friend I think it would be a reason to tease the little guy! Felipe is still an option as well.
Amy had the perfect idea: Tati is having a boy so she should name him Ross – he would be Monica’s brother (Daaa – of course) She would name her baby either Pheebe or Joe – We’ll have Chandler what makes al our kids all FRIENDS!!! =)
Hey, when we talked about it sounded pretty funny ok? – If you haven’t laugh don’t do it now! =oP

Brasil is out…
Claudia got here safe – thank God! She got asked a few extra questions at the immigration then usual, it kind of scared me but she is here – that’s what it matters!
With her came a lot of things to do! I never realized how popular she is in Cincy
The phone hasn’t stopped – people over all the time since the first night!
Bu I don’t care to share as long as I have her close!
We had so much to catch up on!
I don’t think Benji recognized her – but it didn’t take long for him to feel very comfortable with her! It’s like she is made of honey and kids are bees! Never saw one who didn’t like her!
Friday we got to take Benji to the park for a coupe of hours then I organized the garage – Hey we can actually fit two cars in there now! =)
Tati’s birthday was Saturday – so she had a party at her house and that was fun. I met I think 3 or 4 new Brazilian couples (I think all Brazilian girls w/ American husbands) and they all seen to be very nice! Two of then leave within 7 miles from us! And two have children… I had a pretty good time even thou we lost the game and now are OUT of the WC * no comments*. We ended up staying pretty late and watching the fireworks. Since Tati has moved back to since I feel like I have had a big break because before that everything we did was at our house! Even thou I LOVE having people over and parting at this point in the pregnancy I can use the break!
I feel an incredible pressure and baby is moving like crazy! I was in line at WalMart and the cashier was cracking up watching my belly move around. “I looks like an alien will pop out of there!” she said. –Sure it will!
Baby G 2 needs a name. -He wakes me up at night at least every hour! It really hurts sometimes – I also can tell how bad my clothing has got! Underwear & bras got extremely tight – and I only have a couple of pants that still fits me. I have a feeling this baby is coming soon… My body has really changed the past couple of days.

33 Weeks - 7 More to go!!! =)
I always refused to pay to post a blog, but I was very unhappy for not being able to post pictures (very difficult and time consuming). So not long ago they e-mailed me talking about this new tool which made it very simple. Anyways, I was happy happy with the news and today I found out they give you a very very low amount of bites… for free, what should I expect? Anyways, I may consider getting a paid page where my parents can come in and see pictures, leave messages and stuff like that.
Forget about Pancakes; forget about Smoothies, even Waffles forget about it! Benjamin’s new favorite thing for breakfast now is OATMEAL! Yucky! All to me it sounds more nutritious, I’ll make it everyday with all my love but I can’t eat it! I don’t know – the consistency, that hot smell… it just doesn’t attract me at all!
I ordered a few books on line about nursing, second child and raising children, got them on the mail today. I’ll start right the way since I don’t have much time, specially the one on breastfeeding. 33 Weeks! =)

I’m more tired then ever…
I’m getting desperate about our yard – it’s looking worst everyday! I don’t know what do to! I can’t bend down but I’ll just have to do it!
This weekend it’s pretty much gone since Dan will help Perry put their play set together and Sunday Brazil is playing for the world cup and Tati is having a big party! It’ll be fun I’m sure! And even if we tried I know we won’t find time on Sunday…
Then during the week there’s no way I can get it done with Benjamin around!
I seriously need to learn to pick my battles! Some things just really upsets me too much!
Everyone’s mom is coming to visit/help - Daniela’s mom, Tati’s mom, our friends from KY are having their parents over - How much i wish my mom could come! For a week - for a day! I miss the 3 of them so bad. Latelly it’s getting worst. It’s like I’m not gonna be able to see them again!
Anyways…
I’m planning a baby shower for Tati – I got the invitations yesterday and it’s the cutest thing ever! A little body of a pregnant lady w/ green pants and a pink shirt! I loved it! =)Simone offered to get some decoration and stuff… it should turn out ok!I’m only getting a couple of games because it won’t be a lot of time! =)I also want to see if her mother can bring party favors from Brazil (We always have the coolest stuff there).
It got me all excited to work on a birth announcement for this baby (If we can ever agree on a name for the poor guy!) I’m debating rather I stamp or print something for when he comes.. i’ll work on today while stuck at the model!
We being trying to get Benjamin out of the pacifier – it’s being a few hours – since last night. It’s being thought but I think he can manage it! He went days without before! I won’t make him suffer but as long as he’s ok I won’t have it around! Then after we go thru this one I want to try getting him to drink his milk out of a sip cup! He’ll drink water and juice but the milk when it’s on the sip cup makes him gag! It’s so funny! I’ll try w/ a straw cup, but later – let’s work on the pacifier thing first! =)
