I would like to introduce to the world Zayden Andrew Craddock. Zayden arrived via c-section on January 9, 2013! Here is his lovely little birth story….with pictures to go with it!

40 Weeks Pregnant!

I talked to my OBGYN about maybe just going ahead with a c-section, I talked to him the first week of January. I was miserable, tired, miserable, sleepy, a bitch, and did I say miserable? LOL. My vagina was so swollen my doctor wouldn’t even attempt to see if I was dilated or anything because he knew how much pain it would put me in. He kept insuring me, there was no need to even know because it doesn’t make a difference, when it was my time to pop, it was my time to pop. I was determined to try for a V-Bac, that is all I wanted but at that point in the pregnancy I honestly didn’t care...

OH WOW…I knew school was going to take up all my time, but honestly I didn’t know it would take up so much that I wouldn’t be able to blog like I love to do. I really was hoping to document this whole pregnancy. I am going to really try to get caught up on all the posts I want to post and update within the next few weeks. Well, let me catch up!

First off, this mama is now 30 weeks pregnant…can you believe it? I have only gained 4lbs at my last doctors appointment, which I was very excited about but I have my 30 week appointment this Friday and I know that is going change. About a week ago my hunger has sky rocketed, especially at night and I just want to eat anything and everything. I am holding back and really trying to keep it healthy, but I let some things slide. I think the last time I...

1. My husband and I moved in together a month after we officially started dating, been together since! (sorry mom)

2. One of my dreams is to be on the Big Brother reality TV show that airs each summer!

3. I am a Sims addict, been playing since the first day Sims 1 was released….love it.

4. I have 8 tattoo’s…but they are in places I can hide them and only show when I want to.

5. I watch “The View” Monday-Thursday just for Hot Topics. (Friday is always prerecorded and I don’t like that)

6. I was obsessed with the rapper Bizzy Bone for the longest time, even turned around in his driveway. (pathetic)

7. My all time favorite singer is Selena, I have the movie memorized. “Anything for Selenas”

8. I love to read, my ideal rainy day is curled up on my couch and reading, but I have a 4 year old….

9...

I really have not too much to say today. I am 29 today. I know that is  not “old” but it is a reality that this is my last year of my 20′s. My 20′s have been wonderful, I got married, had my son….they are the best years of my life. I just cannot believe that it has been 9 years already since I turned 20…like seriously? Where has the time gone? That is what I am sad about, not the number, but how fast life really does fly bye! On that note….I am staying in my pj’s all day and spending it the right way….watching cartoons with my lil’man!

I am a 28 (29 on March 8th) stay at home mom to a feisty four year old little boy, Xavier. My husband, Andrew, and I have been married for 6 wonderful years. I also am a cat lover, we have 2…Tobie and Waldo. We treat the 2 cats like we have 2 more kids…! These are the most people you will hear me talk about because they are my life and I love them more then anything.

More about me. Well lets see, I had gastric bypass a year and half ago, I was never into good nutrition until I realized how important it is to maintain a healthy weight and body. I have lost 120 and still going pounds. I could not be healthier and happier. I have also had a Pulmonary Embolism, and DVT a month after I gave birth (via c-section) to Xavier...
