where is pointer?!

so peyton is just about 4 days old today...at 2:02p.m. she will be!

we're loving every bit of her.
she seems to have a fussy time at midnight but other than that her nights seem to go well.
here's s pic of her from that i took this morning.
she likes to suck on her pointer finger. hehe.

oh ya...on a side note...went to the dr. this morning to get my staples removed! yay! and i lost 10 pounds already from the 31 i gained! hah! 21 more to go! hehe. my belly is gone for the most part so i'm happy about that. sweet!

PEYTON ELIZABETH!!!!

peyton elizabeth is here!!!

i went in for my dr. appt friday afternoon and they sent me to the hospital for my high bp once again. so i waited and waited as they monitored my bp. it really didn't go down. so i walked myself over to the hospital. they monitored my bp some more and did labs and the one for uric acid came back high so the on call dr wanted to keep me overnight to observe me and retake the labs in the morning and if they still came back high then he'd do the c-section the following day. so obviously one of the labs came back high and so the c-section was scheduled for later that day.
and tada, peyton was born 11/22/08 @2:02 p.m.
weighing in at 5.7 and 18 inches long!

Purple Room
today we finally went to dance class again. after 3 weeks of no dance class and missing last week due to me being at the hospital, we finally made it! taylor was soo excited! i was proud of her too! she reminded me too that she needed to listen to mrs. diane, follow directions and not copy the naughty girls who were misbehaving. she did great at the new, bigger dance studio and regardless of there being so many new girls in the class. she's in the purple room with mrs. diane. today they did their normal dance exercises and also started learning the routine for the recital next month!

Korean BBQ
Last weekend the family headed out to k-town to celebrate jp's b-day!

The BIG 3-0
on november 8th, katie and i turned the BIG 3-0. did i take any pics to remember this milestone? nope. shame on me. my lovely hubby and taylor took me to have lunch at one of my ultimate favorite restaurants-Thai BBQ. then, we had to prep for the party we were hosting at our house later that night. we had a great time with kt and i's family and closet where we consumed yummy juan pollo, mixed with some filipino favorites: pancit and lumpia, and all kinds of dessert. thank you friends for celebrating this special day with us!

bloggity blog updates

i have soo many blogs to finish and post. still no new usb key. anyhow...just wanted to blog...we thought we were going to have Peyton today. false alarm. sorta. went to my regular dr. appt this morning and bp was high when they took it. so after my routine stress test and ultrasound they checked my bp again and it was still high. so they checked it again and again and it kept getting higher. well duh...that's cause they were stressing me out and making me think baby was coming out today. so off they sent me to the hospital...so that they could evaluate me and monitor my bp some more. after about 2 hours of being there and monitored and getting blood work. my bp was back to normal and lab tests came back normal. so no baby today. they sent me home. so if it had remained high they would've done my c-section today. i was almost a mommy of 2 today. hehe. but she's still inside. it's any day now. 36 weeks and 1 day today...which is considered full term. keep us in prayer!

usb...

oh usb key where are you?!

once i get a new one...i can upload pics and finish all my blogs posts.

argh!
