Noah was born 10/24/08 at 5:53 am, weighing in at 8 lb 9 oz, and 21 inches long! It was a 14 hour labor and I'm happy to say I did it drug free!
Wow, things have been so busy around here Noah is on a very demanding feeding schedule. Thank goodness for inlaws! They have been so much help and will be leaving Sat morning:(
I would upload a pic, but I'm not sure how and I don't have time to figure it out right now...I will do as soon as I get a chance.
Love to you all!
Jenny
Yay, congrats!!! Maybe you can get pics posted sometime later, I'd love to see what he looks like...otherwise I'll just have to come up to Charlotte and see for myself:)
Hi jenny. I saw you on a group and wanted to ask you something. Do you know any of the Varneys in West Virginia? Emil and Janet Varney, and there children? My mom was a Varney and I was just wondering. My name is Sarah, but people call me Angel.
I am 5 days away from my due date. For the past few days, I have experienced a lot of aches and pains and feeling like the baby has dropped more. I wish I had kept a journal detailing the last few days before Madelyn was born, because I can't remember the timing of when everything happened as I approached her birthday. The not knowing when it will happen is driving me nuts! My doc says I will have to be induced 1 week after my due date if Noah still isn't here...so I know that I will deliver no later than election day, lol (wow, I hope that doesn't happen!)
Jeff is still unemployed. He has one very promising lead...a driving job with U.S. Foods. He had an interview on Friday with them and it went extremely well, but we haven't heard anything yet. I am trying to have faith and remain calm about this whole situation. Jeff is under a lot of stress and isn't sleeping well at night. This is the first time in 17 years that he hasn't worked. Please keep us in your prayers.
I have so enjoyed spending some quality time with Madelyn lately, and with Jeff being home she has enjoyed plenty of attention! Poor thing woke up with swimmers ear yesterday. We took her to the doc and we were given drops to put in her ear. I can tell she's not feeling well. Hopefully, she'll still get to go to the Halloween party on Friday at Richard Lewis' house. Even if I can't go to that, I want to make sure Mady is able to go!
Hopefully, the next time I post, Noah will be here:)
WHOA!! What's going on? Why did he loose his job? Was it a layoff? Tom only worked one day last week, so I kinda know what you're going through. Prayin in these hard times! Love ya woman! *hugs*
Okay, "some people" didn't like my John Lennon and Yoko Ono video of Beautiful Boy, so I found another song that I think is equally beautiful...hope you enjoy!
Okay, maybe I should explain what I think is weird about these videos? B/c that one was weird too :) lol. Poor poor Jenny! lol I think it is weird that you are showing videos of strangers kids. How about we take pics of your family and put them on a website to the tune of one of those songs? That wouldn't be weird. That make more sense? Love ya mean it!
hey jenny. time is ticking for you..are you getting nervous/excited? we are heading out of town this weekend and will be gone for a week. maybe you will have your little one by the time i get back..if not i will try to check in on you!
Okay that was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen....couldn't watch it all. LOL Sorry...love you Jenny but that was just Weird! lol See you on Thursday, girl!
Noah Michael Varney is the name we have decided on. We have received mixed reviews on this name, lol, but that's okay.
I've made a list of things I have to do before he gets here and I'm slowly getting things knocked off. I don't know whether this is the phenomenom known as "nesting" or just common sense...he'll be here really soon, I really need to get myself in gear, kind of thing. Whatever the case may be, I hope I get this all done.
The heart condition I have, SVT, has been giving me problems lately, scaring me at times. It is very common for women with SVT to experience more heart palpitations with pregnancy. I know that when my heart rate gets above 200 beats/min, blood flow is restricted to my baby, which is what scares me about it all. Most of the time, I am able to bring my heart rate back down to normal by lying flat on my back with my feet elevated. The good news is, if I can't bring my heart rate down in a reasonable amount of time (say, 15-20 min max) I can go to the ER and be administered a shot that brings my heart rate back down within 10 seconds. I have only had to do this once. I also had a procedure, catheter ablation done in 2004 to correct this problem, but it did not work with me.
Last week, I had a scare when my heart rate wouldn't go down after doing my usual lying down and elevating my legs. I tried repeatedly to get ahold of Jeff, Mom or Dad without luck for 10 minutes. I was about to give up and call 911 when my mom finally answered. It took 20 minutes for my heart rate to get back to normal...meanwhile, my Mom was on her way from work to take me to the ER, I felt like I was going to pass out and Maddie was running around naked because she had just gotten out of the bathtub when this happened (okay, you have to find a little humor in that part, lol!)
Anyways, please keep me in your prayers, that my heart palpitations will stop happening for the rest of this pregnancy and during labor. Thank you!!!
No more margarita's with the girls! That should help out your SVT, right? :) LOL. I thought Jeff was gonna kill me for that! I felt so bad - didn't even think about the caffeine, I should have asked you :( He says I'm a bad bad influence, or is that my Mom? :) lol
Hope this week goes a lot smoother for you with no more scares :) How did the dr's appt go this am?
