Zayden Skye Ormsby

i thought it was time to share our little zayzay with the blogging world.

this was by far my best experience in labour,

 (i know, it's kinda freaking me out that i can say that and so soon after).

i woke up with no intentions of giving birth on the monday, 

but by 5pm that night i was beginning to have contractions.

i'm not going to lie i really wanted that epidural, so with that in mind i told jevan that we needed to leave for the hospital at 6:00pm.

we headed on down to Hornsby Hospital and arrived at 6:20pm.

we met my midwife downstairs and walked to the birthing unit.

i have always wanted a water birth since makai but because of complications due to birth weight i have never been able to have one.

but this pregnancy was completely normal, so my midwife ran my bath which took 20 minutes to fill.

i hoped in, by now my contractions were 2-3 minutes apart and lasting for a minute long.

i got the gas - boy that rattling is a good distraction.

i started to push at 7:00pm, on the first push my waters broke and by the second push at 7:05pm we welcomed our little boy into this world.
 and of course the moment i laid my eyes on him, i fell incredibly in love.

The Nursery

i'm pretty darn excited about this.

this is my first nursery that i've been able to set up.

and i finally decided, seeing as this is my third boy, that i should have some sort of blue theme to it.

i fell in love with the colours on the felt garland so that basically chose my colour palette.

my two favourite items in this room are the quilt and the cloud pillow.

i actually made them, me i know right?!

that year 7 textiles teacher who told me i would never be able to sew, wish i could show her now ;).

but, i could not have done it without my super great friend nelani do basically hold my hand the whole entire way of putting these projects together, THANK YOU !

now all it needs is a little baby boy to occupy it.

What Shall It Be?

this week is a pretty exciting week in the ormsby household.

we get to find out what this little person is going to be and i turn 21 for the 3rd time ;).

what do you think it will be?

a he or a she?

daddy is guessing a boy

mummy is guessing a boy

kaikai is guessing a girl

brax is on the fence.

Our First Meet

i thought after i had my first child i wouldn't have the same excitement when the rest of the tribe would follow.

what a silly thought.

i was so very wrong.

today i had my 12 week scan for baby number 3,

 i was ridiculously excited to see this new little baby growing in me for the very first time.

it's hard to think your actually pregnant when you can't yet feel the baby.

and when you get to see them you think, oh i really am pregnant.

everything looked good - apart from the fact that it is measuring 5 days bigger than it should (it's always the complete opposite for me).

there is something so special about being able to look at your little baby and to think that they chose to come to you out of all the people, they chose you.

Announcing...

it's been a long 5 weeks not being able to blog about this.

i have had urges but i have waited until our announcement picture was all done.

we are excited to announce the we will be growing to a family of 5 with baby #3 awaiting it's arrival in
february 2014.

these last 5 weeks have been a roller coaster ride full of morning sickness, lack of energy, sleepy eyes (straight after waking up in the morning) and the biggest thing missing all the foods that i love.

each child i have carried has been different, but this one has been the hardest and feels like an eternity.

i have never had nausea straight from week 5, i have never not been able to eat the foods i love, i have never lacked energy quite like this before.

but in saying that, when those 2 lines came up i was so - i dont even think excited covered my emotions, i think it was more close to ecstatic. 

it was an emotional journey to this point, this child is the only one that we have tried for and it took 5 months (it seemed much much longer to me) to fall pregnant. the other 2 lads only took a month because surprise surprise they just came along without my knowledge ; ).

having taken so many tests with the result of negative being the common result, the last test i took with a very level head saying to myself "it's ok if your not, just give it a go."

i closed my eyes then re-opened them to see a second line appearing rapidly.

my eyes were full of tears and i literally wanted to do a fist pump while jumping in the air.

i found this picture on pinterest once and knew that's how i wanted to tell jevan the next time i fell pregnant, and that's exactly what i did. while he was at work because i could not wait to tell him.

the excitement came to a crashing holt when a week later nausea set in, my 6:30am walks ceased because i was super tired, i could no longer drink my carrot and apples juice daily, vegetables made me want to hurl, my hormones were all over the place and i was crying one minute and then screaming the next. i did promise myself whilst we were unsuccessful those months before that i would really enjoy this pregnancy and not wish it to fly by so this week i have been not only counting down the weeks until all this goes away but i have been enjoying this journey because quite seriously if this bambino is boy # 3 this mumma will be done. 

makai is so excited to help he tells me he is going to feed it and give it baths and play buzz lightyear with it, i'm excited for him and braxton, they are going to make the best big brothers : ).

on another sad note - i'm already feeling super super SUPER bloated and for someone who never shows until after 19 weeks this is a different feeling, still undecided whether i like it.
