Baby has Arrived! Welcome to the Family Damion Lee Cain

Our little bun in the oven is done and has entered the world, as of January 17th 2013 (I know, I know I'm really behind on this blog and am really horrible at this) weighing 6 pounds 9 ounces of a lovable, hug-able, and totally kissable baby boy that seemed to take FOREVER in a 13-almost-14 hours after my water broke to come out.

See, how could anybody say that's not cute? I kinda think that birthing center staff here at the hospital wants to secretly kidnap him because he is not only one handsome baby boy, but also because he's so happy and content all the time. Damion is really smart, for only being a few days old I swear he can already make the cutest facial expressions as a response when I talk to him. :D

He even has his own little hand movements with his expressions and has one especially for me when I tell him that mommy loves him. Oh and it takes a few times before he does it but when he does it's the cutest thing ever! He can hold on to his pacifier by himself and keep it in his mouth. Damion has even found both his hands (which for the first few days he had an IV in one hand and had some kind of cast thing around it, it was really sad to see my not even day old son already having to be tested more than I would've liked) to his face; and ABSOLUTELY loves to shove them there.Well, I'm hoping to do more posts now that little Damion is here and can enjoy going day by day and watching him slowly grow up fast; if that makes any kind of sense!

So from our little family to yours, whether it be really big like the 19 kids (I think they have more truth be told) or a small family (with a few kiddos or none) hope everybody had a great start of the new year and may it bring you lots of joy!

Daddy Finally got to Feel!

Since I have been able to feel my little man move, my husband has YET to feel him move. He would kick and kick and kick my hand; then when my DJ (my husband) would put his hand on to feel he would stop and move away. I kept telling DJ that it was all because he didn't like him, :). Sunday afternoon we were relaxing and DJ was playing his XBOX and listening to country music, our little boy kicked a few times. I interrupted his gaming to let him feel and......... he FINALLY moved for daddy! His face lit up so bright it reminded me of the day that we first found out that I was pregnant! He's been telling everybody that he finally got to feel our little Damion move, but what he omits is that he wouldn't have gotten to feel him if it weren't for me interrupting his game.

Happy Hump Day!

Well, today wasn't so bad; I went to the Medical Card/Foodstamp office to get things straightened out with my medical card (which mind you, they have messed my medical card info threes times!) The first time they messed up they still had my maiden name on file (after I had went down there to change it to my married name), my social security number wrong, AND my birth date wrong! Like really? I've had a medical card before with the RIGHT social security number AND birth date with the same office before I was pregnant. Then the second time I went down there I got a new card in the mail........ with my MAIDEN name and my HUSBAND'S birth date! For real? You didn't get it right the FIRST time I went to get it changed? So the THIRD time I went, needless to say..... I did not get a card at all. So completely fed up with dealing with my case worker I decided to call the number on the back of the medical card and the lady (who was really super sweet) told me..... I had to go talk to my case worker about it. AND the fourth time I went (which was today) I went and made sure that ALL my information was correct and in the system before I left the office. Needless to say it was a very eventful morning.

An Everyday Post..

So, since starting this new blog about my new life as a mommy; I have been trying to figure out what kind of posts I'd be making (besides the most common, the baby!) I've decided to just make posts of my everyday adventures of being pregnant; which really doesn't sound like a half bad idea, I just have to stick with it. Well, here it goes!

This morning I got to my father-in-law's nephews, which I had to watch all afternoon mind you. I got a call not too after I got up about my car that if I don't get it paid by Friday at 10:00AM that I'm going to have to turn my car in! Although I really don't want to turn it in, since I have to go to baby doctor appointments and to the grocery store, etc; I really might have to. Then the outrageous-ness began; the boys decided to go a little haywire for a little bit and now as I am writing this I have a sleeping baby in my lap and a kid playing with my father-in-law....... quietly.

Now about little Damion that is still roasting in the oven. He is roughly the size of a carrot, and weighs about 11 ounces. I can already start feeling kicks in the side, which makes me so excited to the fact that I can feel little man in my tummy, :). I can't wait until January when I can hold him in my arms for the very first time. I just hope that the next few months go by fast.

My Little Bundle of Joy

I haven't been on here in forever! So many things have changed since the last time I was on here:

• I've gotten married,
• got pregnant,
• took an EMT class,
• and became CPR certified through the American Red Cross.

It seems like time has flown by so fast that it feels like yesterday I had gotten the phone call saying that I was pregnant! Now in just four more months I will be a first time mommy to the sweetest baby boy, we're calling him Damion.

The first time we got to see our sweet baby.

My husband told me that our baby looked like a rat. Poor baby, he can't help it :/. I think now he's starting to look more like him everyday, haha. 

This was the second time we got to see him. He was still so tiny!

Now we got to see a more human looking baby, I couldn't believe how much he had changed since the first time we got to see him! I started calling him my little T-Rex because of his big head and little arms and legs, well his big head and little body!

The last time we got to see him!

We finally got to see our little man and got to find out what he was going to be (even though my husband was saying that it was going to be a boy from the very start and I was hoping that he was right for once.) We took my sister with us so she could keep his little identity a secret, since we had decided to do a Baby Reveal Party, and had to keep our eyes closed while the ultrasound technician showed his little parts.

You can tell that he was definitely NOT shy about showing his little parts!

It wasn't until later one night that we were talking and my husband finally admitted that he thought it was going to be a little girl, but we are going to be proud parents of a small boy who will give us a hard time through out his entire life and make his momma worried about him every night that he sleeps or goes out, etc.

I'm excited yet scared at the same time because of the fact that I have a previous heart condition that caused me to pass out from time to time. I want to be there for my baby all through life and I really don't think that it will cost me my life in the end, but I just don't want to take chances that could harm him or me. That being said and looking on the positive side, I'm just glad that I'm going to be a mommy for the first time and will be able to love him and support him through his decisions that he will make in his life.
