Will the REAL Jake Ryan please stand up...

Ever since we picked the name Jake Ryan (Jake to stick with our "J" theme, and Ryan in honor of Joel) We have heard many things: "Ohh Jake Ryan after 16 Candles?" or "Oh Jake Ryan from Hannah Montana?"
Nope. Just Jake Ryan...our little bundle!
In ^ that pic...he is in the moby wrap...which he is in now. Momma loves it and so does Jake!!

I can't believe he is 3 weeks old already! He has grown a lot and sleeps 4-5 hour increments during the night. WOO! He is so sweet and I still stare at him and praise God for this blessing!

I got a new flip camera for my birthday and cannot wait to use it. If I were to take vids of Jake now, it would be pretty boring. However, I want to take a video of him crying..because he snorts. I think it is soo adorable lol We'll see if I can capture it ;)

That's all for now. We are doing great over here!!!

Thankful.

Today I am reflecting on things I am thankful for, big or little. So here is few things I came up with (in no particular order):

• Jake Ryan ( he is 2 weeks and 1 day old..ALREADY!)


• My new keurig one cup coffee maker


• My Hubby who works so hard to provide for our family (even in this downpouring rain!)


• DVR (for those late nights when NOTHING is on TV)


• My parents and in-laws who help and support us so much.


• Wonderful friends and family who have brought us dinners- a huge help!


• The rain- even though I kinda of feel cooped up...but we needed a good rain.
• Jesus, who came down and saved our lives. Jesus is the reason for the season!!
• That God gave us a wonderful opportunity to raise this handsome, little boy. (I know, sappy sappy.)


• Google search-live safer, man.

  Happy Wednesday!!!!!!
  

Jake is here!!!!!!

My handsome little guy is here!! On December 7th, 2010 at 3:14pm, Jake Ryan entered the world!!! He weighed 6lbs 13oz and was 20 inches long! He has the longest fingers and big feet...which I lov to kiss constantly ;)

I went to the hospital at 12:00pm on the 7th, did the check in..was hooked up to the IV, wore the beautiful scrub hat thing and waited for the Dr. to come.

Of course he was a little late..so at 2:35ish he came and I was wheeled into the OR. The anesthesiologist had to do my spinal 2 times because she put it in the wrong spot the first time. Something you never want to hear is "I thought that felt like that right spot." Ouch. Thanks a lot. Luckily I survived..my lower body went numb..and they started cutting me open. Joel was the cutest thing ever...looking at me, then looking at them cutting, then looking back at me. He was nervous, more that me I think. I thought it was funny that the doctors were talking about golf as they were cutting me, like it was no big deal. I guess that means they were comfortable and confident :) I felt TONS of pressure as they were pushing on my belly to get him out! Joel told me they were pushing really hard. The Dr. said Jake was not even engaged or dropped at all, which made it harder to get him out. When I heard his little cry, I was so anxious to see him!!

The first thing I said was "He is so cute..and so WHITE...and red lips!" I couldn't believe how pale he was!! Hes got a nice tan color now.

After he was out and cleaned up, Jake and Joel were off to the nursery while I was sown up. After that, I was headed to the recovery room (which was an experience in itself). I reallllllllllly wanted to go to my room, see my little guy and family...but I couldn't until I could move my toes, legs and lift my hips. The nurse said "Can you move your toes..?" I said "Yes" and as I looked down..my toes did not move. Sad day. I was told I would be in the receovery room for 2 hours and try and get some sleep. Well, the man next to me had knee surgery and was clearly in pain because he was whisper "someone help me." Kinda freaky. On the other side of me was a man who had back surgery and was moaning. Try and get some sleep huh? Doubt it.

Those 2 hours seemed like FOREVER...but at 7:00pm, I was taken to my room. As my friends and family entered, I was overflowed with comments like "He is so cute" or "He has long fingers and toes"...which was nice to hear..but I wanted to see for myself. I only saw him for those short 5 minutes in the OR! It just figured that the nurse shift changed at 7:30pm...so I still haven't seen my baby boy. At 8:00pm I finally met my little man. I cried, of course. The next few nights in the hospital were fun, frusterating, and full of new experiences. Let me just say that I have to give MAJOR props to L&D nurses...they do and see SO MUCH for the patients.

I got discharged on Friday aftenoon and couldn't wait to come home. I was still in pain, but had pain killers all ready to go! :) My feet were and still are SUPER swollen. The Dr. said its from the Spinal and could last for 4-6 weeks! I tried putting my UGGS on yesterday...but no luck. Looks like I'm stick to flip flops for a while.

Jake is really a GREAT baby (I know i know, all moms say that. I used to roll my eyes when I saw mothers put this saying "Yeah right"..now here I am..lol) He only cries when he is hungry or has a dirty diaper. He is so content and happy (Even though all his pictures looks like he has a frown..ha!)

I now know what it means when people say "When he comes you won't even know how you lived without him." He is so precious and perfect. Its amazing that this little guy came for us. God is good, that is for sure. I look at his little fingers..and lips and praise God for this new creation he has given us. I am so blessed :)

Anyway, thats my story. From here on out expect Jake updates and pictures :)

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

As in the day after today.

One more sleep/wake up.

Dec. 7th, 2010.

I know I've said this before, but this pregnancy has flown by. I cannot believe I'll be holding Jake in my arms TOMORROW. It still doesn't seem real. As much as I talk about it, I don't think it will hit me until I can hold the little rascal.

Today I went to pre-admit at Long Beach Memorial, then headed to the bank and grocery store. Luckily I cleaned the house a few days ago so I didn't have to fit that in today.I have to get my clothes together to put them in my hospital bag, my flip video camera is charged, my regular camera is ready to go, ipod and speakers are ready....I think I'm set. As ready as I'll ever be!

Last night I broke down for about an hour thinking about how it will no longer be just Joel and I. I've heard this is normal (at least I hope so!). I have had so much fun with Joel these past 3 years of being married and I know our relationship will only grow with Jake in our lives (yes, I'm tearing up right now in case you wondered). God has blessed Joel and I with an amazing family, friends, a beautiful house...now the opportunity to be parents to this little baby. GAH! Ok..moving on! (as I wipe a tear away!)

Here is a pic of us...our last Thanksgiving as a family of 2!

We will see if I sleep tonight, but I think I probably will. I slept great the day before my wedding. I have to eat a light breakfast before 6am (there goes my plan of sleeping in) then I cannot have anything to eat or drink until after my surgery at 2. My mom and I have appointments for manis/pedis at 9, so that will be nice and relaxing!

I want to say thanks to everyone who reads this or who posts things on my facebook. I'm sure I've said some stupid things and have been repetitive I know this whole pregnancy thing is not as important to anyone besides me, but thanks for the encouragement and support.

So here is to tomorrow.

Here goes nothing. :)

Less than a week!

For those of you who haven't heard, I will be delivering via C-section December 7, 2010, at 2:00pm!! EEK! :)

(This is on the island in our kitchen...just in case we forget haha.)

In less than week I will be holding my little, Jake Ryan!!

So unreal.

I am very anxious, nervous, excited, scared, overjoyed and too many other emotions to list. I was laying in bed last night thinking, "Jenalee, go to sleep. Next week at this time you probably won't be sleeping at all!" Great pep talk to myself. lol

As I prepare for Jakes arrival, I find myself buying things I NEVER imagined or even thought of buying before being pregnant. Oh the things people never tell you. I won't go into detail for the sake of those who do not want to read..but its amazing the things you learn.

One thing I WILL miss in my baby bump. This will be the only time I can take pictures of myself looking ridiculous holding my cell phone taking a belly pic. This is the only time my belly will be hard and I have an excuse to have it sticking out. lol

Speaking of bellies..here are some belly comparison shots. First one...7 weeks...next one...38 weeks, 3 days! CRAZY!

As far as surveys go, this maybe be my last one!!!!! Bitter sweet. I liked filling these things out, but that just means my posts will be MORE exciting! woo!

How far along? 38w5d

Total weight gain/loss: Gained a few more this week, I blame it on Thanksgiving :)

How big is baby? Well, the ultrasound tech said he is about 7lbs 11oz! We will see next week!!!!!

Maternity clothes? necessary!!

Sleep: I've been sleeping better...minus the waking up 4 times to pee.

Best moment this week: Scheduling the C-section, knowing he is coming on Tuesday!!!!

Movement: Love his kicks and hiccups.

Food cravings: Sadly I've been eating e v e r y t h i n g lately.

Gender: Boy boy boy!

Labor Signs: I've just started having lower back pain...otherwise I have a few contractions every now and then!

Belly Button in or out? In!

"Think of stretch marks as pregnancy service stripes." -- Joyce Armor

How are you feeling? Feeling good, but tired!

What I am looking forward to: Holding Jake next week :)

What I miss: Sleepin on my belly!

Weekly Wisdom: "You're gonna miss this, you're gonna want it back"

Milestones: Making it to full term and setting a c-section date!!!

p.s. I almost forgot!!! I got my computer back...300 bucks later I have a new operating system and all my pictures, music and documents!!!! Hoo-freaking-ray!

Let the countdown begin!!

Thats right. Jake will be here either Dec. 6 or 7th via c-section! According to the Dr., my pubic arch is very small, so this will be the safest way for Baby Jake!

that is 9/10 days away!

I have an ultrasound appt and my LAST prenatal Dr. appt. this Wed, where we will see how big he is and set the csection date! We are planning on the 7th, but we'll see how things go!!

I am so excited but slighly freaking out! I'm thinking of all the things I would like to get done before then, and thinking about how this next week is going to be the last week of just Joel and I...too many emotions, man! Many people ask if I am "done" with being pregnant..and I say "No" because I'm really not. lol I am anxious and excited to meet him, but also so nervous of this life changing event! I'm told this feeling is normal (atleast, I hope its normal!)

I can't wait to see what he looks like!! I'm hoping he is a cutie like his daddy :)

On another note, my computer crashed on Tuesday.

Major fail. :(

I took it Wed. morning to the computer guy and he said it had something to do with Vista (My operating system) and would get back to me on Monday (of course they were closed for the holiday weekend ahh!) Not gonna lie, I am pretty much DYING without interent. Yes, I can go to my mom's house and use hers..but its NOT the same. I am so behind on celeb gossip and facebook status'! I am @ work right now and am trying to cram in all the sites I need to see before 12!

I just pray that my music and pictures are all still there when I get it back.

Anyway, back to baby. :D

How far along? 37w5d

Total weight gain/loss: Ok I’m biting the bullet…I’m up 31lbs!! I don’t think the gain is TOO horrible…but will I think that after Jake gets here when I need to lose it all? Blah! I've got the jogging stroller out and ready for action!!!

How big is baby? We have a ultrasound to determine his size on Wed….but the books say: Size: 19 inches Weight: 6.5lbs!

Maternity clothes? L.o.v.e them!!!!

Sleep: Sleep what?? Ohh that thing you do at night. Yeah. Not happening. I’ve been waking up every 2 hours or so. Sucks. They say it’s the body preparing you for what’s to come….I just want to sleeeeep!!

Best moment this week: Thanksgiving!! I have so much to be thankful for. J

Movement: All the time!!! Love it and am gonna miss it!

Labor Signs: I’ve been feeling those darn Braxton hicks for the past week!!!

Belly Button in or out? Innie!

Stroller. Check.
Pack & Play. Check.
Carseat. Check.
Jake. N/A


Jake- Mom & Dad are ready when you are!!!!!! :D (saying this kinda freaks me out...but in a good way...I think lol)

I have my first internal check this Wed. We'll see what the Dr. says!

Less than a month!!!!

Hello all!

I skipped the update for last week (I know you were ALL bummed..haha), so I figured I'd make this update worth it! That's right, I've got shower pictures AND nursery pictures! HOORAY!!!! I have to say, I think Jake's nursery is the cutest one out that, but I may be a little bias ;)

I have been keeping busy with subbing. I decided that my last day of work will be Dec. 2nd, and even Joel thinks that's pushing it. I guess we'll see how I'm feeling!! I might as well make as much $$ as I can before Jake comes!

A lot of people have been asking me if its starting to feel "real" yet. My response? No. I really don't think its gonna hit me until I'm actually in labor or he is in my arms. I mean, yes I have all the necessary items for him to come any time....but I am sitting pretty comfortably. Don't get me wrong, I am so anxious and excited for him to come, but it just doesn't seem that in less than a month he will be in my arms! I still think its SO weird how one day He is in my tummy, and the next he is out.

I got my early birthday/Christmas gift....A NEW CAMERA! (shouts of joy!) Yep, I got a new camera. It is an Canon EOS Rebel T1I! I absolutely love it, although I don't know how to really use it yet!!! Now I'm searching for a cute camera strap and bag for Christmas ideas! :)

How far along? 36w2d

Total weight gain/loss: I go to the Dr. today...I don't think its going to be goo because I've been SO hungry lately..oh well! :)

How big is baby? Size: 18 inches Weight: 6lbs!

Maternity clothes? Yes please. I'm going to be super sad when it is no longer acceptable to wear these!!

Sleep: Sleep has been O.K. I've been waking up and been very uncomfortable.

Best moment this week: Shower on Saturday and shower this Saturday!! woo!

Movement: He is on the go!!!

Food cravings: Nothing. I did give in to my chicken pot pie craving @ Bake a broil. YUM

Gender: Boy!

Labor Signs: I've been having some braxton hicks and shooting pains..but nothing TOO horrible. yet.

Belly Button in or out? Innie!

Stretchmarks? I am praying they really do turn white..otherwise I'm going to be stuck with big, purple, ugly marks. :(

How are you feeling? Still feeling good!!

What I am looking forward to: Thanksgiving!

What I miss: Nothing really this week.

Weekly Wisdom: Keep on keeping on!

Milestones: Less than a month away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kristin's Redneck dinner party was so fun last week! Here are some picture of what Joel and I dress as (Joel was wearing a pair of shorts and his work boots) and the other redneckers:In other news, Joel's 26th bday is tomorrow...then on Saturday we are celebrating my niece, Brooke's 1st birthday (her birthday is today!!)

"Never Grow Up"

You're little hands wrapped around my finger

And, its so quiet in the world tonight

You're little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming

So, I tuck you in

Turn on your favorite night light

To you, everythings funny

You got nothing to reget

I'd give all I have, honey

If you could stay like that

Oh, darling don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up

Just stay this little

Oh darling don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up

It could stay this simple

-Taylor Swift

Jake isn't even here yet, but when I heard this song I got so teary eyed. They say once you have kids time flies. I'm sure I'll be feeling this song once my little man gets here.

33 weeks!

Another week down, which means another week closer to meeting baby Jake! Woo! (45 days!)

I've been subbing in High school this week, which I was DREADING, but its actually been really fun. All the girls ask about my pregnancy; How far along I am, boy or girl, do I have a name, is it my first?- I never knew High school girls to be so interested! I also got to talk to one of my high school teachers, who is also having her first child! So fun- PLUS I get to have lunch with my dad!

I'm excited to be starting a 3 week sub job for the ERC after-school program! It will be fun working with the kids in my city M-Th! (http://www.erc.la/afterschool)

Taylor Swift's new Cd, Speak Now, came on out Tuesday! That girl can write!! If were a guy, I would definitely NOT want to get on her bad side, or else I"d expect a song to written about me...which might be pretty cool! I already have my favorite songs that I put on repeat! :) (If you haven't seen the music video for "mine," I would totally google it and watch it now!


What else is going on?? Halloween is coming up in a few short days..and, I'm not gonna lie, I'm so excited to eat some candy! I could easily eat a tremendous amount of mini kit-kats. Those and the taffy are my downfall.

Now on to baby news!!!

How far along? 33w4d

Total weight gain/loss: So last week...I actually LOST a pound! WOOO! I highly doubt it will happen next week, especially after my kit-kat ramble (above) and Halloween being on Sunday!

How big is baby? Size: OVER 17 inches Weight: 4lbs! Keep growing, Jake!!!

Maternity clothes? Pants are a must...but I've actually been taking out some non-maternity shirts and wearing them! Woo for more variety!

**Sneak peak of some Maternity pics Holly Leach took!

8 weeks, but who's counting??

Hey everyone!!

Things have been SO busy lately with work and life! I finally have a day for "me" so, of course, I'm updating my blog :)

I started taping "Bringing Home Baby" and I'm absolutely addicted to this show. Not gonna lie, it kinda freaks me out..but I can't stop watching. For those that don't know, it documents a couple from delivery to the first 36 hours of being home. So, I pretty much see the no sleep, feed/poop/sleep repeat of an infant, and usually women complaining about how much breastfeeding hurts. ah. At the end it shows the baby at 2 months...and everyone is still alive, the mom talks about how things are going much better..so that brings me hope.

Though I would throw this in...11w vs. 32w4d

How far along? 32w5d

Total weight gain/loss: Not like I would tell you, but I go to the dr again today, so we will see!!!!

How big is baby? Size: 17 inches Weight: 3.75lbs! He is growing!!!

Maternity clothes? Same as all my other posts...can wear some non-mat tops..but bottoms are a must!!

Sleep: Great!! (knocking on wood again)

Best moment this week: Hmm not sure yet!

Movement: We felt Jake hiccupping this morning. I've felt it before but Joel got today. So fun.

Food cravings: nothing. boo hoo.

Gender: Baby boy :)

Labor Signs: Nada!

Belly Button in or out? Innie!

Stretchmarks? Urgh. I found some more. MORE! Give me a break here. They look really bad. I'm ALMOST embarrassed to go to to the Dr. I'm sure he's seen worse.

How are you feeling? Feeling good, minus this dreadful cold that won't go away!

What I am looking forward to: Dr appointment today, the Birthday food fun on Sat with friends, and Danielle having her baby!

What I miss: You guys thinks I'm joking, but really..Diet coke. I am sooo glad I get to have a can or 2, but I would love to over-indulge in a whole pitcher while eating Mexican food.

Weekly Wisdom: Never expect, always hope.

Milestones: 8 more weeks!!!!!

December is coming!!!!

I put my itunes on shuffle...low and behold Nsync's Christmas music came on! (Don't hate, you know you secretly like their cd too!)

My feelings: AHH and YAY all at the same time! (Would that be YAHHH??)

I have ALWAYS loved Christmas time...the lights...music..presents..family time- plus my birthday is in December!!!! I cannot wait till Black friday, getting out all my Christmas decor, getting a Christmas tree and drinking a peppermint hot chocolate!!!!! Little did I know that Christmas 200
9 was the last Christmas as a family of 2! Crazy. I.cannot.wait. :)



I dragged Joel to the movies to see "Life as we know it" and it was soo worth it! Joel actually enjoyed himself too! I think I liked it because it involved a baby, a cute story line, a love story, and MAJOR eye candy! Definitely worth seeing!

I skipped week 30 because I was soo busy..but I'm back. I'm sure you all were wondering-ha! (like anyone reads this anyway, right?)

How far along? 31w0d

Total weight gain/loss: under my goal so far!

Food cravings: none. pretty boring.
Gender: BLUE!!

Labor Signs: Nope!
Belly Button in or out? Its still in...I think thats where it will stay!

Stretchmarks? what about those little devils? They are still there..
