Quality time with my husband.... but what do I get? Excuses! All the time... Everything else is more important. Georgia Bulldogs, Twitter, Facebook, The Gym, Etc. All I get is the tired man that wants to go to bed after he's played with all those things... If we watch a movie that I want to watch he falls asleep.... If I ask to do something, sometimes he'll say I'm tired but will stay on his laptop for another hour... funny right? The other day he says I must go to the gym 3 times a week and I got so upset because he doesn't even say I must spend time with my wife at least once a week. All I asked was to play scrabble before bed and you know what he said "I'm not staying up all night playing that game b/c you know that game is long" but guess what he's doing at this very moment. ON HIS LAPTOP:-) I didn't even get upset like I normally would b/c I seem to get a little out of hand some time but all I said was don't worry about it. I WILL NOT beg for his attention. I'm upset right now and all I want is "US" time but what do I get? excuses....
He did say he was taking me out this weekend (which will be the first time we've been out in months since before I had the baby) so I have to make sure I have enough milk pumped in order for us to go anywhere. However, don't get me wrong I have a good husband and he takes care of his family and he loves me unconditionally but when it comes down to quality time with me he neglects it. I won't keep writing about this situation b/c I'll keep working myself up.... LOL

Here's a sneak peek of my Madison during our photoshoot in November.
Mallorie's Birth Story
I'm going to try and make this as short as possible:-)
On October 17, 2011 Little Miss Mallorie Victoria Lockwood was born!
To make a long story short on October 15th around 11pm I started having little cramps and they begin to escalate to me. I dont know if it was b/c I just wanted her to come out or if it was really happening but I ended up calling my Dr. on Oct 16th around 5 am and he told me to head to the hospital (I was 38 weeks and 4 days at this point) so we dropped Madison off at my Aunts house and headed to the hospital. We got there signed the papers and headed to my Labor & Delivery room. I'm going to skip a few things and lets just say I wasn't in active labor but I was 2 centimeters dilated and 70% effaced. My contractions had slowed down so they had no reason to keep me but my Dr. came and said he wanted to keep me so we knew that she was coming soon.
While we waited on something to happen I got extremely hungry and I begged my Dr for an hour to let me eat so my husband went downstairs and got me a big mac meal and I was good to go. The meal put me to sleep so while I was sleeping I was awaken with 3 nurses at my side yelling telling me to turn over because her heart rate got really low and to make a long story short throughout the entire day I went through that and yes it was a little aggravating having to lay on my left side for hours but I knew I had to, they also put me on pitocin to help speed up my contractions.
I think I was around 6 or 7 centimeters when I decided to get epidural and after that epidural I couldn't feel ANYTHING until a few hours after she was born. I was told that the nurse pumped a little to much of it in my IV. However, after the epidural I went back to sleep for a while and when my nurse came back in to check me and a she was checking me I said I feel something tingling. Honestly, thats all I could feel. It wasn't a pop or a gush that I felt but it was sort of like butterflies in my stomach and my husband was standing over me and said that my water had broke and I look down and water was just flowing everywhere and while that was happening her heart rate got extremely low and all I can say is that everything started moving so fast at that point, I got so scared.
They put me on oxygen because they said the baby wasn't getting enough oxygen. Dr came in and they were like push we have to get her out, so I started pushing and to my knowledge I was so numb I thought I was pushing but I wasn't so he has to use a vacuum to get her out which I couldn't feel either. Luckily, I didn't tear throughout that whole process. My husband was unable to cut the cord because it was so much going on but she came and she was healthy and that's all that matters. She was born on October 17th at 1:05 am weighing 6 pds & 9 oz. I was so happy and so was my entire family who was waiting in the waiting room to meet her. By the way- Northside Hospital Atlanta is THE best hospital Ever! AND so is my DR.:-)
I had her on that Monday and the night before we got ready to leave (Tuesday Night) we found out she had Jaundice and to make a long story short we weren't able to go home that Wednesday and she had to stay an extra day until her skin was a little clearer. However, they let us stay with her and we all came home Thursday Night!

Welcome Back ME!!!!
After having Mallorie I totally didn't have time to write on my blog.... Especially having a 3 1/2 year old and a newborn at the same time it was pretty rough. I would try and start and then Madison would want something or Mallorie needed me as well so it became impossible. I'm back and ready to share my day to day adventures of a S.A.H.M and wife... Things have been so rough for me lately! I've felt lonely, afraid, happy, furious, depressed, excited, etc. I have been on a crazy emotional rollercoaster and this is my place to release and share so today I may be posting more entries than I have in a day I guess it depends on how free I am. However, I'm glad to be back to the blogging world, I will try my best to stay faithful to my blog! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
