mikaela's birth story

I love you baby girl and I always will...

And wished i was warned about somethings like my feet would swell after the c sections and getting a epidural may cause you to end up having to have a c section anyways on with the story...

My pregnancy was a dream never did have morning sickness had a little nausahness for 3 weeks never had really any complications God truly brought us through...

I was 34 weeks and had went to the doctors for my weekly appointment they put me on the stress test to listen to the baby's heartbeat and my contractions well i was having a lot of them like 7 in 15 minutes so i was sent to labor and delivery to be checked and i spent the afternoon there i did not even feel i was having them..and they sent me home..

From 34 weeks and on i was having bracton hicks contractions they where not as strong enough that i was concerned about them and my Dr was not really concerned about them..

well November 20Th i was feeling some contractions a little stronger that night i was woken up with some they still did not seem strong enough to go to the hospital we were suppose to go to a thanksgiving dinner at church but i was not feeling that great and for me to say that i must of not felt good well i thought i should go to the hospital to get checked we were half way there and the contractions stopped so we turned around and went to home depot so i could walk then they started up again..so we left and headed to the hospital well i was in what they call the treague room and was being monitored and checked every hour i was 2 cm at that point they would not let me leave my poor husband had to sleep on the floor that night lets just say neither one of us got ant sleep and i did not get my lunch so i was so hungry..well my Dr was not on call he was out of town so Dr c was and he decided to go ahead and amitt me and start potican to help my labor along i hated it every 20 mintures they would push it up so it got stronger i addmitt iam a wimp when it comes to pain it was 7am when they did the I've which i hated so they waited til about 12pm and started the potican about 2:30 i got a epidural now that was fun it was the weirdest feeling in the world i was not progressing like they wanted me to i was only at a 2 still so they broke my water to see if that helped mean while my blood presser dropped so low that i was feeling sick and like i was going to pass out...them my Dr came about 5sh checked me and i was a 3 and gave me a little while to she if i would progress more he came back and i was still the same and said he wanted to take me for a c section it was the scarist thing to be wheeled into an operating room with out my husband or my mom being preped for surgery then they brought Jon in it was weird being numb and only feeling presser my heart stopped when i heard my little angel cry...i only regret not being able to hold her right after birth but got know....Thank you for all your prayers as my Dr said she a miracle baby..

soon very soon

well it is only a matter of days or weeks i wish she would get here already..Iam sure unconfortable..God is good to geyt me through this pregnancy well I pray the labor and delivery will go well and quick...Thank you for all your prayers...

Choices

As before we got pregnant I did not realize how many choices or decisions we would have to make before the baby was born...I was told that at week 15 they would do a blood test to check for down sydrome and some other tests..and I think they do that so you could get an abortion well that is not a choice it sad how many abortions girls have now a days..We have decided not to take the blood test cause we are not going to abort the baby.Jon had surgery 2 weeks ago friday to take the nail head out of his back he said to me last night that it has stopped hurting like it was...Well we will find out soon what the baby is..can't wait .....Iam 13 weeks and feel a little better then i was it hard....God is so good to us...We hope our next appointment to hear the babies heartbeat through the drobbler I think it called...

Baby bump...

Well here is pictures of my bump Iam not showing much but thought I should take some pictures..my bestest friend got me that shirt Iam wearing I love it..Iam 12weeks today..hard to beleive that Iam 12weeks it seems like a long time for some reason..God is good..Had a great 1st mother's day..may God bless you all...

the blessings of our lives

Well God is so good well here is our baby it still so early to see anything..but I heard a strong heartbeat that was so neat to hear..They changed my due date to the 21 of november...so this one will be our thanks giving blessing...we we are doing well seems like a lot is going on....Iam going to ladies retreat this weekend and then next weekend a baby shower seems like a lot of babies will be born this year will we are blessed to be part of that...

We are pregnant!

Well God is good...I had just given up on the idea of being a parent cause it seemed like it was not happing for us so we got another puppie cause i said to myself well i need to be a mommy to something..and then 2 weeks after getting him we found out we are pregnant. well we have a lot of work to do on the babies room so it will be such an exciting time for us. tomorrow I go for my first ultra sound really excited about that..am trying not to gain to much am watching what i eat...please pray for my health and the baby's health....for the next 7 1/2 months...

Puppy love part 2.

Well I often wonder why things happen in life why we are put through these trials...well on thanksgiving we went with my dear friend and her family to Idywil leaving our our puppy in the yard..thinking he know the yard cause he spent the 1st week with us there my friend and I nursed him back to health since he had parvo God healed him and then our puppy ran away and we never have found him...I still wonder what ever happened to him..Well December 9th we went to the shelter and Got snickers who is the best dog there is...we felt that she was lonley and needed a playmate so saturday we got another miniture pincher puppy we named him roscoe but this time we put an E on it.He is a great puppie.

christmas letter 2009

Dear Family and Friends[J1] ,
We are entering one of the greatest seasons of the year. It is a joy to celebrate together the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ.
January- We really didn’t have much happening I went to the Ladies luncheon at Church. It was really nice they had a good speaker. We had the BIMI missions conference: it is always nice to have the missionaries come and show us their fields.
February- was Our first Valentines Day as a married couple. I cooked a nice dinner for Jon and we had a good evening together. Our truck broke down in February and it would Cost more money then we had to fix it. So we prayed, and God answered our prayers and now we have a Plymouth Colt. It is a really nice car a 1992. We also sold our truck for 800 dollars to the guy who sold us the Colt. Isn’t God good?!?
March- our Sunday School class had It’s annual progressive dinner. It was nice of course, we both ate too much; there goes the pounds we had lost. Also in march my aunt and cousin and her 2 boys came out to see us on their way to my aunt’s house in Placentia. It was a great visit We really enjoyed seeing them just wished it was a longer visit.
April our Easter was a quiet one this year We enjoyed going to our church ‘s cantata a great service. We also went with Jon’s coworker and his wife to the San Diego Zoo It was a lot of fun. The Lord was directing us to buying our first house. We thought at first we were going to get Jon’s mom’s house, but that did not work out. So we began seriously looking around.
May-Our Church had its annual mother/daughter luncheon The theme was Bear all things’ It was really a nice time together for all the mothers and daughters. We put an offer in on a house we liked very much and hoped we could get it That house fell through, so we put in another offer on a house. Jon was working 10 hr days and weekends too so I felt like I hardly saw him. Our dear friends Brad and Lola from Oregon came to visit us at our bunkhouse.
June- - We celebrated our 1st year anniversary Sure didn’t seem like it had been a year. I helped in VBS at church. The Lord sure blessed us this year with a lot of helpers. We finally had a house in escrow It seems like you go up and down with trying to buy a house!
July- We moved into our new house! It is 1104 sq feet so we have a lot more room. It is real nice. We have some work that needs to be done with the house but that take time. Thank you for all who have been praying for us through this. God sure is good to us. Well, the minute we moved into our house it seemed like Jon started fixing things he put new door knobs on the screen doors, cause I could not get in with the old ones. Then he put lights in our bedroom which were badly needed Jon got laid off due to the nation’s economy. We enjoyed spending first year of married life in the Shorts’ bunkhouse where we were quite happy.
August Well, God provided work for Jon: some of the church people needed help, or jobs done; and God provided work. We had to paint the outside of the house. It looks much better now. We watched our friends’ dogs while they went on vacation.
Sept- Well we started serving another year with our church king’s kids Jon is the club secretary, and I help in the 1st through 3rd grade class, On Sept 12 we drove to Placentia go see my cousin. She just had a baby in July and we were so excited for her. It was a really nice time with them. On Sept 22 Jon was asked to come back to work: praise the Lord’ We have been wanting a dog, so on Sept 29 we went and got Rosco He is a miniature pincher, a very well behaved 10 week old puppy. Roy short guided Jon on some landscaping for our new home.
Oct—Our puppy was so sick he got parvo, so we took him to the vet and they gave him an IV and some shot and gave us some medications and I think the Lord spared his life So thank you all who Prayed Jon and I, and my dear friend Abby went to the Pumpkin Patch and Oak Glen for outing We had a fun time. Our church celebrated It’s 46th anniversary as a church It was a great day. Jon built a fence for our puppy it is so nice.
Nov- I turned 34 on November 10: I feel old. My husband spoiled me! We celebrated Thanksgiving with my Friend and her family we went to Idyllwild for dinner: it sure was beautiful up there. This year we have a lot to be thankful for a new house,and a healthy puppy. Rosco ran away on thanksgiving please pray he will return to us soon.
Had various friends over for dinner tried to do this once a month
Jon serves as the bookstore manger at our church, and I serve in the nursery once or twice a month.
May the new year 2010 be a great year for all of you God is good!
Jon and Jenny Sherwood
