UPDATE

ok so I am a mom now!! My last blog I was still Pregnant! I had a beautiful baby boy April 11, 2011 at 1:53 that afternoon. He was 7 pounds 4 oz. and 20 inchs long. It was a wondering experience and I would do it all over again in a heart beat! I love him to pieces and I am so happy that we have Chandler party of 3 now! Being a Mom is the best thing in the world. Dont know how much love you can give a person untill it happens to you. There itsnt the words to describe after childbirth. Just BLISS.



Ok now I will update you on everything that has happened the past 8 weeks.. while I am supposed to have a wonderfull maternity leave... NOT!!

The first weekend home we went to GA for Easter. That was fine. Alittle stressful only becuase I wanted to make sure everything was packed in the car right and organized and he was happy and full. I was breastfeeding and I knew it would be a little harder than normal becuase of travel. But all in all we had a great time .. and I am so glad that we got to see Jakes family. We dont get to see them muchn and they had a good time meeting Kaleb.=)
The very next week we have a series of storms that pass through Birmingham. A we dont have a basement at our house so Jake and I would make a decision to go to my parents house with a basement. On April 27th we made that call.
Jake woke me up from my nap and told me to get dressed and have a diaper bag packed becuase the tornado was headed our direction. We got Kaleb and Glory in our car and went on our way to my moms. After 6 oclock that night the storm was over and our neighbored never looked the same. Its terrible. I live in Concord. Concord is gone. My neighborhood was flat.. homes were distroyed. animals were lost and people were killed. Terrible. We are very thankfull that our house is still standing but damaged. Our Yard is destroyed and trees are gone.. but that can be fixed. I have everything i need and that is my family. I dont know what I would have done if we were home and had to witness all of it first hand. Scary. I am very sad that we are not living at our house. Kaleb has yet to experience his nursery. He has not got to sleep in his bed yet. I never had that chance to rock him to sleep in his bedroom or read him a story in his bedroom. I cry everytime i think about our home. Jake ,poor thing, wants his garden so badly. He worked so hard planting and tilling up the ground. so for 6 weeks we have moved into another house untill ours is fixed. We are just wanting for the insurance to help us.
After the tornado my body went through alot of stress. I never produced the breastmilk that I wanted. Kaleb never got full and was fussy. I pretty much dryed up and couldnt nurse anymore. My body just couldnt keep up with what was going on. I started giving him formula. I am very sad that the lord gave me breast to feed my child and I am unable too. Its the worse feeling in the world to know that your child is hungry and you cant really do anything about it and you cant give him the healthyest food out there. But he is happy with a bottle of formula that is all that matters.
Along with everything else, my grandmother passes awhile on Mothers Day. Kaleb was born on her brithday and she passed away on the day he was dedicated at church. My best friends mother is dying of cancer and its only a matter of time when that happens. That will be another sad day for me. She is like my second mother. Always been there for me.

My life is a struggle right now. I am an emotional basket case. I started back to work Yesterday. Which is a good and bad thing. I want my life to get back to normal and that is the only thing that is normal for me right now. I miss my son to pieces though. I miss that smell and that face soo much. I want to work for the adult time and the pay check.. but i want to be home with him and watch him grow. I am so stressed beyond you can imagine with life. I want so badly to be the best mother and the best wife. I dont feel sexy anymore for Jake. He can tell me I;m pretty all day long... but I still look in the mirror and see a fat person. I am so ready for the baby weight to go away. I wish there were enough hours in the day to work out when i got home and not feel mentally and physically exhausted. I want to say that everything is going to be ok about my house... but I cant say that for sure. I want to move back home soo bad... but cant live there with a newborn. Jake and I are already stressed having a newborn... and then to top off the fact we arent home and dont have all our stuff... its crazy. I try and keep a smile on my face and tell him that we are goign to be ok... but its soo hard. I want to cry all the time. So does he everytime he see a garden. To top everything off , yesterday my car has transmission problems...so I am in a rent a car. Thankfully my car is under warrenty, becuase we dont have any extra money right now.

Anyway, that is my life in a nutshell. We are making it .. =) Please pray I dont loose my mind.

April 7,2011 Wow. Cant believe this day has finally arrived. Its offically my last day of work for 8 weeks. Its bitter sweet. Very pumped.. but werid. I hate leaving the office with tons of paper work. It like the feeling you get when you leave your house , heading on vacation. You pull out of your driveway and you imediatly think of all the stuff you packed and if there is anything that you may have forgotten. Underwear, pillow.. toothbrush.. makeup.. ect. Then about half way on your trip you say" shit , wheres a walmart" haha That is how I feel today. I have work to do, and I dont want to leave the office with paper work. I feel like everything should be cleaned and done. That way my poor manager dont have tons to do next week. Course it will pill up on her if she dont tackel a little bit everyday. She has done told me that she is dreading having my job for 8 weeks. Several others, includeing Greg ( one of the owners) has hugged me and said they will miss me. He said he was going to take a 2 month vacation while I was out.. becuase he didnt like the fact he wasnt going to see my face there. He is so sweet. I will miss everyone at work. Work gets on my nerves sometimes.. but I love who I work with. There is always sometype of adventure at work and always crazy phone calls. I swear our number is just like the courthouse.. becuase we seem to get all the calls " umm hey.. can you transfer me to the boat licenses dept." umm no.... Or the crazy grandmother that calls and thinks we are a doctors office and she explains to me that she has a in-grown toe nail.. and she needs to come in for the doctor to see it.. and I have to listen to this whole huge mess and then tell her she has wasted her breath becuase this is not a doctors office. She has the wrong number. poor woman. But on a positive note!!! I am having a baby boy within the days!! DAyss.. can i say that again.. DAYS!! I cant believe the moment is finally here! I have my last doctors apt. today at 1:45. I am kinda wondering if they will want to just keep me there and do it this afternoon... but if not. I may have him this weekend and then still if not.. I will be induced Sunday night at 8 and then they will break my water and all early monday morning. His birthday may be the same as my grandmothers.. April 11th, 2011. Sounds good to me!! I cant wait to see him and hold him. It werid thinking about it. I always go and visit people and little babies in the hospital and now I'm going to be the one layying there and people will visit me! I really hope I look ok. haha I dont want me hair to be greasy and no make up. I mean.. what if the preacher comes and I look like complete crap. haha o well..the joys of parenthood!! I will post pictures later and give you another update when I have one.

Hotnesssssss

Let me know shout out that I am HOTTTT! So thankful that I had most of my pregnancy in the winter months and not the summer! I would pass out... literally. Poor Jake is freezing to death in our house and I am sweating. =) Hope everyone enjoys their Tuesday!

The Past Few Days

Friday I had my doctors appointment and many many chores before my Maternity Pictures with Taylor Haynie. After the pictures we were off to the lake!

Friday morning at 9:45 I saw Dr. Estes with St. V. She was a new doctor that was super sweet! She just did a routin check up with my weight and blood pressure. This was also my very first screen to see if I had started dialating. I had not. Which is ok, becuase I still have 4 more weeks. She also checked to see if I had some type of bacteria. I will get the results this friday when I go. I start to go every friday now. This friday I will be 36 weeks. yicks!! This means full term!! I am soo excited that we are near the end and we are soo much closer to seeing Kaleb's sweet face!! I am so thankful for everything that I have been through these past months! Everything is ready for him. Room is done, Check... Car seat , check... camera and video camera on charge... check!

Right after the doctor I had tons of stuff I needed to accomplish before our pictures at Tanneyhill at 3. I wasnt in Hueytown to start my chores till 12:30 So I was pushed for time to get ready and pack the car for the lake all within 1 hour and 3o mintues.. I was a crazy person!!! Pictures went perfect! I am so excited to see her post the pictures. She took tons! We got to bring our dog to the site and she took some with her and then some of all of us and then some of just me. This photographer is great, I recommend her to anyone! TaylorHayniephotography.com

Traffic to get to the lake was terrible.. everyone was heading to the beach. We finally made it friday night around 8 a clock. Jake and I had a great time relaxing over the weekend with the family. He did lots of fishing and I did alot of sitting haha! I think the whole weekend he only caught 1 fish! poor little buddy. So glad we got to get away for a couple of days. Get out of Hueytown , get fresh sunshine and just relax before this little joy comes! I had cramps yesterday morning getting out of bed. I guess they were contractions... Jake is a nervous wreck... =) But going to be a super sweet Daddy!

Hope everyone had a great weekend too, and has a wonderful work week! Yeah to Monday!

Kalebs Bed

This is a pictures of me by his bed. I am 33 weeks in the picture.

HELLO!!!
gosh I havent been on here in forever!! I always forget about blogging.

Update... Im 35 weeks this friday!! crazyness! Only 5 more weeks left! I just recently had both Alabama tea and Georgia tea , which were wonderful! I enjoyed them both very much! Jake and I got a bunch of stuff we needed and some things we needed to return and exchange. I went today on my lunch break to Babies R Us and got sheets, monitor and car seat , and extra base, ect. Things that we havent gotten yet. Cant wait to get home and start organizing Kalebs room and the house.. its a wreck!! OH I didnt know if you guys knew his name. Joshua Kaleb Chandler. =) Double time on bible names! we have had several people ask us the name and when we tell them they say " wow double wammy in the promise land" that right!!! I love his name. Joshua is after Jakes friend that pasted away. Kaleb is from both sides of the family. Jake has cousins named kaleb with a "c" and so is my brothers middle name. His intials are Jakes dad's intials too. So we have a little bit of everthing in that name. Just perfect for him=)
