men say the darndest things.

so if any of you know James you know how funny he is and the things he says.

I honestly think I could write a book about some of the hilarious things that come from his mouth. Some may not be funny if you haven't met him but if you have then you know what I mean.

Maybe its just a guy thing though... silly silly boys!!


when I was pregnant he said to me:

James: so if you ever want to leave the house after you have the baby I could totally babysit him all day.
Me: well what would you feed him? I'm going to be breastfeeding you know.
James: Chocolate milk. Kids love that stuff.
Me: james!! babies do not drink chocolate milk.

another time when I was pregnant:

James: so whats the average birth weight of a baby? 22 pounds or something?


a conversation we had this week:

James: Guess what! I'm writing on your facebook wall
Me: what are you writing? you never write on that.
James: I love you more everyday....
Me: Ahh!! You don't love me now?
James: well I love you more each day!! and you are the poppy to my cock
(its a carmal popcorn we love)
Me: well your the diet to my coke and the cheese to my macaroni
James: ohh that must be a lot since I know how you feel about all those listed.
Me: yes its a good thing.

something he says to me on a daily basis:
holding a diet coke on ice. (my fav)

Me: Is that for me?
James: you, you get nothing.
then he laughs histarically

at walmart while I'm purchasing him beer:

James : My little girl is growing up so fast.
Checkoutperson: I know how it was when my daughter turned 21.
James: she's not my daughter she's my girlfriend.
then he winks at the checkoutperson.

Oh!!! how I love that man of mine.

Kingston is now 2 weeks old and weighs a wopping 6Lbs.

He still fits in all his preemie clothes but we have now graduated to newborn diapers. YAY!!

Dear Kingston

Dear Kingston,

Do you know how much mommy loves you? Do you know how much you've changed my life? From the moment I found out I was pregnant with a little boy I was soo excited!! You've made me grow up so much little mister. You are such a good little baby boy you hardly cry only when you are hungry or when I change your diaper. I love how itty bitty you are and how you barely fit in your preemie outfits. Can you please stay my little boy forever?

I will never forget the feeling when you came out of me that day I was in shock looking down at this beautiful little angel I loved holding you and doing skin to skin with you.... I'll cherish that moment forever. I love your little button nose and your gorgeous black hair. Your cute big ears and your lips... your lips are just like mine baby boy. I love the faces you make when you are asleep or when you are having baby dreams. You already crack me up so much. I could watch you sleep all night... infact I do. haha.

I can't get enough of you little Kingston I love you so so much poodin. You've brought me so much joy and happiness and you are only one week old!! Everyone that has met you has loved you to pieces you are just perfect little angel baby!! Know that you are loved little man... loved by your mommy and your daddy and even your Billy Dog loves you.

A wee bit of heaven

Drifted down from above

A handful of happiness

A heartful of Love

A mystery of life

So sacred so sweet

The giver of joy

So deep and complete

Precious and Priceless

So loveable too

The world's sweetest Miracle

Baby Boy, Its you!

I love you Little Peanut Poodin Pie!

Love always,

your mommy

my labor story

I've been dying to post my labor story but haven't had time due to being super busy with my new little peanut! Kingston has been such a blessing in my life since I found out I was pregnant he has seriously changed my life in so many ways. Made me grow up big time and realize how much I needed to be a mom! I never knew how much I could love someone until I had him. I love love love times enfinity this little boy oh so much.

Here is my labor story... It might be all over the place and hard to read but this is how I remember it. haha plus I am really bad at writing stories about myself using proper grammer!

On December 17th 2009 I had my 36 week appt. which was supposed to be my last because I was going to be induced that next Tuesday. That day I remember I was feeling crummy as usual because of my PREECLAMPSIA. I had the worst head ache ever. Nothing new there... but this time I was seeing little stars and felt just awful.

( You see a couple of days before that I was leaving to go with my sister Alexis to get my grandmother and It was a bad snowy day. I was walking to her car and fell in the snow.. haha lucky me right?? Well I fell on my side so I hit my stomach and part of my head. I had to go to the hospital to see if Kingston was okay and from then on my headaches were sooo much worse)

Anyways. So I headed to my dr to do my last and final visit. Yay!! When I got their I did the usual pee in the cup , get your weight (hate that) then they took my blood pressure. It was sooo super high which is nothing because it always is but this time it was really high. My dr. seemed very concerned from then on. She kept leaving the room then coming back then asking her other partners for advice. Finally she came back in and asked me how I was feeling.. I told her that I had the worst headache and that I was seeing these crazy weird spots.

She told me that it had to do with my preeclampsia but this was really bad and that if I went home I could have a stroke or a seizure and that would be really bad. She told me that we were going to call it a day and get little Kingston out because it was to much of a risk for me. Wow... I was sooo scared.

She wouldn't even let me go home and get my things together. I had to just head down stairs and get induced right after I left!! Sooo scary for me. I sort of knew it was going to happen though. She told me that she was going to have to give me Magnesium Sulfate which is a drug that helps you not seize or have a stroke in labor, it would make me really loopy and feel rather flush like I was sick with the flu. I would be taking this the whole time I was in labor and 24 hours afer delivery. I also would be given cervidil to soften the cervix and pitocin to get my labor going. I would only start the Mag that night along with the cervidil and the following morning I would be given to pitocin.

I headed down stairs after calling James to get his arss to the hospital then called the rest of my family to let them know. I was put in a room and got into the adorable hospital gown. :S they came in and started hooking me up! The lady nurse said that I could have one last supper before they gave me the Mag... so guess what I chose? Jimmy Johns!! Yumm haha.

After I had ate she started the Magnesium Sulfate. I hate that stuff with a passion. This is where the fun began. I started feeling awful like the world was spinning and really loopy and not able to concentrate. They also gave me the cervidil and I had to stick it in my cheek. That was pretty odd to me... That whole night I was throwing up badly I dont really know if it had to do with my nerves or the medicine but no fun for me.

The following morning Friday my dr. came in and broke my water around 7 a.m. I did not really remember that at all. I was still so sick from throwing up and I was soo messed up on that crappy medicine!! Then they started the pitocin. This was awfu!!!

Pitocin makes contractions harder and fast. That they did.. they came sooo fast. Around 10 am I was starting to really feel the contractions and debating when I wanted to get my epidural. I had to make a decision fast because he was going to be busy with c-sections and he might not be able to get to me when I really wanted it. The nurse checked me and I was only at a 3. I tried to last a little longer then I decided to get that most amazing drug ever!!! I really don't know how people do it naturally!!

1 hour later I started to feel major pressure down in my area and I could feel my contractions again they hurt sooo effin bad. I could feel them but had to keep my eyes closed because the room was spinning so bad from the Mag stuff. ick. My nurse checked me and I was at an 8. I went from an 3 to an 8 in one hour? This is not common for most first time moms. I was pretty proud though but I was hating life!!

They had the anthesiologist (new best friend) come back in and fix it. I could still feel a lot of the contractions but didn't care at that point I just wanted my little man out of me!! About 25 min later my dr. came in and checked me or someone did.. can't remember really and I was at a 10 and ready to go!

My sister Alexis, My grandmother Marnie and my boyfriend James were in the room. I pushed through 5 contractions all messed up on that medicine.. I ripped a little on the side (sorry tmi) I don't really remember my grandma or my sis in the room or pushing all that much I also didn't know the cord was wrapped around his neck twice when he came out. All I know is I pushed and for not long at all! Also really good for first time mommies :)

Kingston LaMar Moran

was born at 1:53 pm weighing 5lbs 13 oz and 19.5 inches long.

I did not cry when he came out. For some reason I thought I would be bawling. I was soo in shock seeing this little thing come right out of me. It was soo sureal. I did cry though when they did the skin to skin. Most amazing moment ever. Oh and trust me I've made up for the not crying when he was born. Everytime I look at him I cry! He is so beautiful!!

My lovely and talented sister Jennifer came into the room right after he was born to take pics. There could only be 3 people in the room because of the swine flu rule at the hospital. Jen took the most amazing pictures that I'll cherish forever. I wish she could have also been in there along with my other sister.

I didn't remember much of the first 24 hours with baby King because they still had me on that Magnesium Sulfate shiiz. But the next couple of days in the hospital were amazing. I had the most amazing nurses and drs. Everyone is so amazing at the IMC. Love them

Kingston had trouble eating and had to stay in the hospital a little bit longer. We finally got to go home on Monday. He left the hospital weight 5 lbs 6 oz. He is soo itty bitty but oh so cute and precious! We are still working on eating but he is getting it down. After going to the dr. today he now weighs 5lbs 9 oz. :) Yay!!

All in all I had a pretty good labor other than having to be drugged up! I wouldn't change my experience for the world. I am so glad they got my baby boy here healthy and safe and thats all that matters.

SO After:

Being sick for the first and half of the second trimester throwing up everyday

Having to take four 24 hour urine tests for protein in my urine
