BuffedWildCat’s BodyBlog

I’m FINALLY getting around to getting on here, just been WAY, WAY, too busy and sleep deprived to even think about logging on until now.  I will type more later, again, sometime, I’m out of time now (as usual, story of my life these days) but I thought I’d type a quick blog to let you all know that Karissa arrived safe & sound via C-section at 9:54 AM on Monday Sept 15, 2008.  She was 6 lbs 7 oz and 18.75 inches long.  By contrast Conner was 7 lbs 15 oz and 20 inches long when he was born, so quite a difference there.  Anyway, by coincidence I guess, Karissa would have arrived on Monday Sept 15 anyway whether or not I picked that day to have the C-section!  I actually started having contractions at about 5 AM the morning of my surgery!  We left for the hospital at 6:30 AM and by that time the contractions were about 10 min apart.  Then they had me up on the pre-op table getting me ready and my water broke, THEN, the contractions REALLY started coming fast and HARD!  All I wanted then was for them to hurry up and give me the spinal already cause I wanted to be FREE of the PAIN!!  So though we were informed that they were running behind on the C-sections, they had to hurry it up anyway to get me in there.  My C-section was scheduled for 9 AM but they were running behind.  Well, they couldn’t run too far behind cause she was coming whether they were ready or not, LOL!  So anyway, that’s the story.  Now I’m just extremely busy taking care of her and Conner.  She is eating about every 3-4 hours and unfortunately she has her nights and days mixed up (what baby doesn’t, Conner did too) so I’m up all night with her with barely any sleep then I have to be awake all day yet to take care of Conner!  So the only real sleep I get isn’t until hubby comes home from work in the evenings then he takes over while I sleep.  Hopefully this won’t go on for too much longer but I certainly won’t hold my breath on it!  By 4 months old most babies will sleep 6-8 hours straight overnight without any feedings so hopefully that will hold true for Karissa cause I sure am tired of being tired!  Sleep deprivation is NO fun!  Just…  gotta… get thru…another…  few… months….  of this….  ugh…  gotta… make it.  I’ll be SO GLAD when that part is over!  The first 3-4 months are definitely the hardest when it comes to taking care of a baby!  Twice is DEFINITELY enough for me!  Heh.

And in other news…  so I lost all but 3.5 lbs of my pregnancy weight in the first month.  Same thing happened with Conner, lost all but 3 lbs in the first month.  Interesting…  Now I just need to tighten back up, mainly.  I can already make out 4 packs when I flex my abs.  ~grin~  I should have my pre-preggo body back by summertime, yippee!
