The Beginning!!!

    After almost 6 months, here I am to FINALLY update the blog. I’m so sorry I have not updated it before now. Well, Michael is 5 ½ months old now! And sooo much has happened since I last updated. I’m sure I will forget some details but I’ll try to remember everything that has happened. Lol.


    Alright, lets see then - the 1st month was quiet interesting. Haha. I vaguely remember waking every 3-4 hours at night to feed him and daytime was constant nap time or feeding time. He was a little colicky that month, but I suspect that’s fairly normal as their body is adjusting to everything. The only ‘problem’ I remember having is he seemed to spit up a lot. Not only at every feeding but also throughout the day. The doctor said that its pretty normal at that age, even up to 3-4 month old, to spit up often. We tried to get him on a feeding schedule as the doctor recommended but no avail, we failed at that because Michael seems to be little too much like me - when he’s hungry, he wants it NOW. Lol! So we just fed him on demand. I remember it being soo difficult to get anything done around the house because all I wanted to do was hold and love on him. And every little cry gave me just the excuse I was looking for to scoop him up and spoon him. At 6 weeks after his birth, we went to my Dr. follow-up appt and they cleared me to go back to work whenever I felt ready. I may not have ever felt like I was ready to start work again but I knew that I’d have to sooner rather than later, so I planned to start the following Wednesday. We planned it so that Vinnie would be the 1st to watch him, which also made me feel a little better when I headed out that morning.

 I tell you what, 7:30 am never came so early as it did that morning. I had a hard time getting up in the morning and it was hard to say goodbye for even just a day, after being home with the little man for 6 weeks. Vinnie, as I knew he would, did a wonderful job taking care of him while I was gone. That day seemed to be my longest day at work yet. I was so relieved when I left work and rushed home to see my 2 favorite men in the world. My mom had offered to watch him on Mondays so I could catch a few extra hours. The 1st Monday was even harder to leave for work that that Wednesday. And I don’t know why that was. I knew she was an excellent mother and knew what she was doing but I still felt horrible. I cried on the way to work and was on the verge of crying at work through out the day. But, it got easier as the weeks progressed.

    At 2 months he got his 2nd set of vaccines and the doctor examined him. He was growing and developing exactly where he should have been. He was in the top 96th percentile of his age group for wt and height. Shortly after, within the month, he started sleeping through the night. And when I say sleeping through the night, I mean SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT. He went from waking every 4 hours to eat one night to falling asleep around 7-8pm and sleeping until 5-6 am the next. It was amazing. I still swear we are the luckiest parents to walk the earth, well.. Other than Mary and Joseph maybe, lol. He started smiling his real smiles at us by his second month as well.

 In the beginning of May, Jeremy had his annual birthday crawfish boil, this time at his house. It was a lot of fun. Pawpaw (my dad) brought 3 sacks of crawfish with him. Michael and I went over to Uncle Reds and I ate some awesome crawfish. Michael slept in his swing for most of the time we were there, lol. During the second month, I think, is when he discovered his hands and how to suck his thumb. Which is a blessing b/c he sucked on it to pacify himself, however he would NOT take a pacifier to save his life. It just made him scream louder, lol. It was still hard to leave him for the day, on the days I had to work.

    The 3rd month was great. He slowly started to learn how to roll over during this month. It started with rolling onto his belly if he was laying on the bed with us. He also started to discover his feet during the 3rd month. He got to see just what a pool was, close up. He LOVED the water. He was super tired by time we got out but he had a blast in G-ma’s saltwater pool for the 1st time. We think he’s gonna be a fish like his mommy.  In early July we visited Pawpaw and Abuela (My dad and step-mother) for vacation. We stayed about 5 days and we saw all kinds of great things. We visited Avery Island and the Tabasco plant, which was very cool. We also got to go to the Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans. We all had a great time and Michael just loved looking at all the fish, sharks, eels, otters, and all the other marine life there. After we went there, we walked around the French Quarter. We found a great place to eat some good ‘ole muffaletas. We had planned on also visiting the Audubon Zoo, but the weather wasn’t holding up and poor Michael had had more than enough for one day. For the rest of the trip we just relaxed and had a good time at home.

    I know a lot more happened within those months such as when he met his cousin Ira and Uncle Jesse and Aunt Kirsten. It was great, Ira wanted to hold Michael and play with him. Ira played a few songs just for Michael and even shared his favorite blanket with Mikey. And Aunt Kirsten took a nap with the Michael man when he got tired, though she didn’t really fall asleep. There was also a point during the early-mid summer where he got to meet Aunt Drew and Uncle Kyle too. He got to take his 2nd dip in the pool with them and get lots of hugs from both. I just don’t remember when these festivities took place exactly, though they were very memorable.
    I’ll post a blog on the last 2-3 months soon, I really wanted to get something up here, haha. Hope you’re enjoying the great times. Love you!! More to come!

Our Pride and Joy Has Arrived, Michael Anthony Armand

Labor and Delivery
Well, the wait is over… little Michael Anthony Armand is finally here!! YAY! We were scheduled for an induction on Thursday March 11th 2010. That morning I woke up having contractions, mild and ranged from 4 minutes to 1 hour apart. We had a 9:00 A. Dr’s appt that morning for an ultrasound to verify that the little man was correctly positioned. He was head down however his back was towards my back, which meant a more difficult delivery and a lot of back pain (which was pretty normal by this point anyways, lol). We left there, ate some food, and ran a few last minute errands and returned home to finish up getting ready for our departure that afternoon.


After a short nap and grabbing a small bite to eat we headed up towards the hospital to be induced. Nick and Tabby were there to greet us and make sure everything was okay. Shortly afterwards my dad and step-mom arrived along with my brother Jeremy to spend a little time with us before they started the drugs to ‘officially’ induce me. After the nurse was done Dad, Liz, and Jeremy came back in to visit and keep us company while the mild contractions started kicking in. Shortly after that it started becoming a bit of a blur, ha-ha! My mom, Pops, Vinnie’s parents, Derek, Alicia, and I think even Josiah came by to see how things were going and visit for a while. When the moderate contractions set in I asked everyone to leave for a bit. They all went, got a bite to eat, walk around outside, or even just hang in the waiting room to kill some time.


In the mean time, the contractions got stronger and closer together. Shortly after I reached 4 cm dilated and was 75% effaced the contractions were getting quite painful due to the back labor I was having, so I asked to get an epidural. They said I could get one but the anesthesiologist was in surgery and it would be another hour at least before they could give it to me. I was a little upset because I told the nurse (and gave them the birth-plan) that I wanted the epidural as soon as possible especially since I was at a higher risk for a c-section. After she told me that it would probably be over an hour before I could get the epidural she gave me the option of a very low dose I.V. pain medicine, which had little to no side effects to the baby. It was about 11:30pm or so and I decided to go ahead and receive the I.V. since I was almost in tears from the back labor. She gave me the I.V. and in seconds I started feeling a little woozy and slight relief. Within 20 minutes the anesthesiologist from the O.R. came in to administer the epidural, since the anesthesiologist from the labor and delivery was still busy. He did a great job and I felt almost instant relief from the back labor pains. After the epidural had time to kick in and things settled down again, everyone came back in to visit for a while. It was a nice to see everyone and converse about everything that was going down. Everyone was getting anxious and we started taking bets on times he would be born (which we all were wrong on, LOL). Everyone said I must be feeling good because I was laughing and cutting up during major contractions. Alicia even said that I ‘danced’ during one contraction. The nurse came in to check and see how I was progressing so, once again, I asked everyone to leave while the nurse checked my vitals and progression. She said that it was hard to read my contraction monitor with all the commotion so I told I informed everyone that we needed to calm down and be quieter so my body could relax and continue to make the progression towards labor. That seemed to help my body transition into labor a bit faster, which was nice and before I knew it, it was time for the nurses to check me again. Everyone left for the last time before Michael made his debut so the nurses could check my vitals and to see what phase I was in. At that point, around 3am, I was about 6cm and 75% still. I decided that from that point on I just wanted it to be the two of us in the room until Michael got here. We enjoyed everyone’s company and support but since I was in the last stage of labor I wanted to spend some time with just Vinnie and he felt the same way.


About 7:30 am, just after staff rotation switch, the new nurse came in to check me and she said that I was fully effaced and completely dilated. She said she had to step out to call Dr. Doyle and let her know. When she came back in she informed us that the doctor wanted us to start pushing real soon. The nurse got everything together and ready to deliver the baby and we started pushing just before 8am. So we started pushing and shortly after the nurse said she could see his head and asked Vinnie if he wanted to see. Without hesitation Vinnie went to take a peek as his little head and from then on he decided to observed little Michael work his way into the world. Right when Michael was ready to make his entry the Dr. had just finished suiting up for the delivery. Three hard pushes later out came a little miracle. Overflowing with emotions we both began to cry with feelings that no one can describe. It was the most amazing feeling in the world to look upon this miracle that God had blessed us with and think that he was here and ours to love and care for. The wait was finally over, 9 months of carrying this child inside my womb and roughly 26 hrs (including the start of contractions) of labor he was here with us! He was born at 8:36 am, 7lbs 13.8oz, and 19 inches long. Daddy cut the umbilical cord and they placed him on my belly to clean him off. We gave him hugs and kisses before they took him to clean him off, get his APGAR test and weight. While they were doing that Vinnie sent out a text to everyone letting them know that Michael was here. The nurses gave Michael to Vinnie and Vinnie brought him to me to be breastfed. Before I was even decent and barely got started breastfeeding we could hear everyone gathered right outside the door, lol. I told Vinnie to make everyone go wait while we bonded and everything was cleaned up. Vinnie went and told everyone that we needed a little time as a family before everyone came in to see him. Everyone was very understanding, despite the LONG night they had waited up in the hospital waiting room to meet the little man. After a little bonding time and the clean-up I told Vinnie that everyone could come meet and hold him before they took our baby to the nursery whenever Vinnie was ready. Vinnie went and got everyone pretty much right away. I bet it must have looked like a herd of people coming down the hallway because they all piled in to see the little guy minutes later. Everyone was able to hold him and get a picture with Michael before the staff had to take him away for his bath, vaccines, eye ointment, and incubator to stabilize him temperature. Everyone left to get some rest shortly afterwards and we were transferred to the recovery room by about 10 am.






Recovery at the Hospital


After a long night of labor and delivery, we were brought to our recovery room to rest and recoup while they had Michael in the nursery. We got a couple hours to rest and catch some sleep, though looking back I don’t think we got any actual sleep (After a night like that it’s hard to relax with all the adrenaline pumping through your system, Lol). I had the worst headache and was very nauseous after my epidural started to wear off. About 1:00 lunch came by and I was so hungry that I stuffed the breadstick down and started eating my spaghetti. I wasn’t able to eat much because of the nausea. The nurses brought Michael to our room after they were finished and his temperature was stable to spend some time with us and be fed. Dad, Liz, Mom, and Bruce all came to visit and see how we were doing a few hours later. The hospital brought dinner and as soon as it entered the room I became very flushed. I paused and asked Mr. Bruce to hand me the cover to the food and the fumes from the food filled the room and my lungs. Right then I sat up fast and vomited all my lunch, and then my headache got twice as bad instantly. Mom and Bruce decided to give me some time to rest and recover. Dad and Liz chose to do the same, especially since they had a 4 hour drive ahead of them but before they left they prayed for my recovery. The nurse gave me some medication for the nausea as well as for the headache. They had the doctor who gave me the epidural come in and talk to me. He said that I very possibly could have a leak of spinal fluid from the epidural. He recommended laying down as much as possible and drink lots of caffeine and that if it did not go away I had the option of getting a blood patch (which is where they draw roughly 20 mL of blood and inject it into the spinal column through an epidural needle, that way the blood clots the hole that was made by the 1st epidural). After taking meds and drinking a lot of fluids and caffeine the pain subsided. The next night it came back when I went to get up it hit me like a ton of bricks. The day we went home they did a blood patch on me and I began to feel relief immediately. They told me that we could go home that day according to my doctor’s orders and instructed me to lay flat for the next 24 hours so the blood patch had time to clot and fix the hole. My doctor gave us the okay to go and we were discharged Sunday afternoon, after a few hours of making sure the blood patch was working. During our stay, we did have a few visitors to see Michael and visit with us. Thanks to all of you who stopped by at the hospital to see us!


Arriving Home


Once we got Michael loaded up in his car seat and put in the car, I got in the backseat with him and we headed home, finally!! We were so ready to be home. As we drove down the street we saw a bunch of balloons tied down to the mailbox. I was excited to see them, it was a great idea and we felt so special. Then we got out the car and headed into the house with Michael for the 1st time. We opened the door and there was a huge banner saying ‘Congratulations and Welcome Home Vinnie, Jolene, and Michael’ with signatures from Derek, Alicia, Josiah, Mom, and Bruce. The house smelled wonderful and everything was so nice and clean. They had also set the table with some gorgeous flowers and balloons tied a chair. It was fantastic to walk into a nice clean house with a newborn baby. Everyone was so extremely awesome and thoughtful to do all of that for us. Thank you all a billion times over for all you’ve done for us, we really really appreciate it all!


The 1st Week


The 1st night was horribly long, we didn’t get but maybe 2 hours of sleep that 1st night. Trying to figure out his sleeping/eating patterns, not freaking out about every little thing, staying sane, trying to sleep, and TRYING to follow the dr.’s orders by lying flat seemed impossible to do all at once. We were both already exhausted from the labor, delivery, and hospital stay so lack of sleep and general exhaustion from the 1st 2 days home really started to set in. But after the 1st 2 nights things started to calm down and become somewhat ‘normal’ or at least more so that it had been. Each night is a little different and has continued to improve for the most part. We are generally able to get about a 3 hour stretch of sleep at a time, and sometimes 4 – 4 ½ which is nice. Let’s hope and pray he continues to sleep well. We have really enjoyed having him here with us. He’s a little gas machine but we love him anyways, Lol! We are soaking up every little minute we get to just sit there and spend time with the little guy. It’s so hard not to just hold him all day and kiss his little hands and feet. He truly has been a blessing from God and we feel so honored to have him in our lives. Words honestly can’t explain the feelings you have for the little life that has entered your life and changed it in every way. I know this is just the beginning of the new chapter in our lives but we are so excited and can’t believe that he’s finally here. Thanks for reading the blog and sorry it took me a week to get it up. Lol! I want to thank all of you for coming to visit us in the hospital and during our 1st week home. We also want to thank and let you know how much we appreciate all of you who prepared dinner for us. It really did make a Huge difference and gave us more time together as a family. We greatly appreciate it. Also, Thank you to those who helped get the house all beautiful for Michael’s arrival. Take care and God bless! Feel free to leave comments.


Love,

Moving and Baby Shower Adventures February 2010

These past couple of weeks have been very productive! We have had 2 wonderful baby showers and have completely moved into the house on Bixby. We are so stoked to start this new and exciting chapter in our lives! God has blessed us in so many ways! We found out that I have an increased risk of getting a c-section. With that said, the Dr thinks its best for me to be induced. We are scheduled to go into Sacred Heart @ 5pm on March 11th to start the induction, if we make it that far. We will keep you posted on what the Dr says and when everything goes down, lol. Here's a bit of whats been going on.


The move: (Feb 14th - 21th)

We started moving into the new house on Feb. 14th and got completely moved in by Feb. 21st, thanks to some hard work by our families. Jeremy and Mom came over the evening of the 13th and helped clean the house so we could start moving the following day. My mom, Pops (Mr. Bruce), and Josiah started helping us move all the boxes over that Sunday, the 14th, after Vinnie and I had a Valentines breakfast and had the car tire fixed. I was quite under the weather that day and didnt do anything but stand there and watch. Luckily Vinnie made up for my lack of ability to do anything. Throughout the following week Josiah and my mom came by and helped clean, put up curtains and move things as they could. This weekend (February 20th) was the baby shower from my family and my dad came in town to attend. Not only did he, Liz, and Hannah (as well as Jeremy and Josiah) attend the shower but after that they came by and helped us finish moving what was left and the next day they helped clean up the apt before they rolled out to LA. It was such a blessing to have everyone so willing and able to help us move. We thank you all for all of your help moving and cleaning, We can't begin to tell you just how much we appreciate everything you've done for us. Thank you and we Love you!!


The Baby Shower at Jolene's work: (Feb. 17th)

My work held a baby shower for Vinnie and I mid-week, though Vinnie was unable to attend due to work. Sandie, Heather, and Bonnie did a wonderful job planning it. It was so pretty, had lots of yummy foods, and the punch was amazing! Hehe! Sandie had me go to the staff room at 11am and told me not to clock out. So I went and stuffed my face for 2 hrs, haha. It was a pretty busy day but I got a chance to see, talk, and hang out with everyone at one point or another. Everyone welcomed the break to eat some tasty food and watch me open the present that they picked out for the little guy. We got all kinds of great stuff, even got 2 of some things (which was pretty funny when it came to the whale bathtub). Everytime I thought I was almost done opening card and gifts someone else would pop in and bring something. By the end of it, I was barracaded in my seat by gifts on either side of me, haha. I had a very nice time and thank you ladies and Doc for everything. You guys are great and we appreciate you!

The Family/Friends Baby shower: (Feb 20th)

My mom, Vinnies mom, and Vinnies sister all got together and collaberated this blissful baby shower for us. I'm sure it was a lot of headache to get 3 minds on the same page, but it turned out to be just perfect. It was held at the Club House of Govenors Gate, where Vinnie's parents live. Josiah sat by the entrance directing everyone where to go and letting them into the gated community. It was pretty funny because he sat in the truck slouched over with big 'ole sunglasses covering his eyes that barely peered over the steering wheel, as if he were undercover. Haha! They had signs up telling the guests (and us) where to go. The decore was beautifully set. It was too cute, the punch was blue with little duckies floating in it. Sheri had a friend make the cake, which was way cool. The top was blue with clouds and airplanes. It was just as tasty as it was pretty. Vinnies mom made an edible arrangement which looked just as good, if not better, than the ones you spend a ton of money on. They put a lot of love and work into this baby shower. After greeting everyone and hugging their necks for coming and celebrating little Michael with us, we all got a plate of food and munched on that while playing some fun games such as baby word search, baby word de-scrambler, and creating words from the name Michael Anthony Armand. We also played a few other games like guessing how many items were in the container and one of my favorites: Guess Whats in the Diaper - for the guys. It was pretty comical to watch them open those diapers and guess which candy bars were melted in the diaper. Which, by the way, they all got right. Then after all the games everyone gathered around and we started opening gifts. We recieved a TON of things. Some people were so creative in their gifts it was pretty impressive. There were a few duplicates but not a whole lot, suprisingly. At the end of the present opening, second round of hugs, and thank you's Derek was nice enough to help get everyones attention so we could make our big announcement - that we were scheduled to be induced on March 10th because of my increased risk of a c-secton. Everyone was excited (and shocked) to hear that we had a set date for Michael to come into the world. I know one thing, He is going to be loved and will always have what he wants. All he'll have to do is ask one of his 3 sets of grandparents or one of his many Aunts and Uncles. I want to thank each and everyone of you for attending the shower and also for all the awesome gifts.

Shout-outs:

Superbowl Weekend 2/7/10

Hello Everyone!
This is our very 1st blog post. A lot has happened this week and weekend. 1st off, Grandma Joanne bought a brand new crib with matress for little Michael, which was greatly appreciated. We (or he) will get a lot of good use out of it, lol. Vinnie has almost wrapped up the website and its almost ready to be loaded. The web address is going to be http://www.littlemichaelanthony.com/ if you wan to add it to your fav's. We also got the baby scrapbook up-to-date, as much as possible, for the time being.
We found and put the deposit down on a house to rent. Its 3 bed and 2 bath and has a privacy fenced in yard. We are stoked to have that in line. The landlord is to call us when he is finished with the few touch ups he has left and then we'll get the keys! Once we get the keys we'll be able to start cleaning up and moving in, which will hopefully be by next weekend. WOOT!
We bought a camcorder to record all the new and exciting things that are to come so you know whats been going on and can see it, even if your not there with us. Both Vinnie and I are uber excited. We will keep the videos and pics updated on the website, so be sure to check in.
Also, the superbowl was this weekend. The Saints VS Colts. It was a great game. We had a lot of people there at Mom and Pops house. I think everyone had a really good time, I know we did. At half time the Colts were on top 10-6 and everyone was upset. But in the second half the Saints decided to start playing like a real football team and came out with a victory ~ Saints - 31, Colts - 17. It was an excellent game and a well deserved win for the Saints.
So, all-in-all we were able to get a lot of things done and feel a little more prepared for Michaels arrival. We can't wait to move into the new place and set up the nusery. There will be many more posts to come throughout the months and years. The next big event before the big day will be the baby shower, which we will try to update you on as well! Everyone have a blessed day, we love you!!!
