Papi Ronnie is here!

A post by Brett:
On Saturday night, Michelle's Dad, Ronnie Robinson flew into San Diego to come and visit! HURRAH! We are all so excited for him to be here, especially Ariella :) I told him to bring his arms since Ariella loves to be held. We drove around Coronado Island to see the aircraft carrier and the helicopters. Then we went to 22nd Street to see all of the Navy surface ships (cruisers, destroyers, and Marine carrying Amphibious Ships), but as a submariner I call them "targets" or "skimmers." For a late dinner, we all went to a busy Californian delacacy of In'N'Out, a local burger joint.

Ronnie is here for the "heavy lifting" of Ariella and loving on his granddaughter. Oh yeah and to visit us in California! On the agenda for this week is to visit the US Marine Corp Aviation Museum at Marine Corp Air Station Miramar. Ronnie loves jets and I have heard many stories of all the air shows Michelle went to as a kid. The museum has about 15 planes and helicopters displayed outside. Early tomorrow will start with a visit to a local mom'n'pop donut shop that Grandma Myers has discovered.

Well...that all folks! Thanks for reading!

From Michelle:
BRett did a great job of posting :) I might add Theresa aka Mimi sent a surprise gift for me and I LOVE IT!! some comfy jammies- shes REALLY REALLY knew what I was needing right about now! Plus a awesome Victoria Secret giftcard to treat myself later, which will be nice to get a little pick me up and since the one I got for my bridal shower from Wendy got stolen with my purse :( sad day......


Anyways we're doing good!
Love you all

Ariella's Birth Story

So I realized with all the excitement of the arrival of Ariella that we didnt get to actually TELL the story of the birth, so heres my (Michelle's) version, from what I actually recall. Brett will hopefully post his version as well.


Monday October 5th

So I posted that morning, and had felt a little achy and VERY much suffering from insomnia the night before. That day I had an appointment with the uriologist in Encinitas (about 20 mins from our house) to basically "get to know" him before I could start my testing after the baby (to fix my kidneys). Grandma Myers had a hair appointment at the little salon a block from our house at 2:30pm and I had the Dr appointment at 3 so I said I would go ahead and go by myself to the appointment- we were all lulled into a state of false confidence since we knew when the c-section would happen.

So I left and drove to the Dr's office, a little side note the Drs office was actually at the hospital in Encinitas that we WERE going to have the baby at, but decided against once we found out that we would never have a private room- we are VERY happy we chose to go with the private room option.

While setting in the Dr's office I started feeling a little crampy, and as all pregnant women do when they are close to their due date, I decided to look at my watch to see what time this crampiness was happening. I noted the time, and continued to wait, the crampiness continued and my stomach started feeling a little upset. I kept note of the time and realized after awhile that these "crampiness" feelings were happening about 4 minutes apart. SOOO I thought, hmmm maybe Im in labor? I stepped into the hall and called my OB office, I told the receptionst that I thought I was in labor and the pains were about 4 minutes apart. She said, well we usually like people to go to the hosptial when they are steady for an hour (which I had been waiting in the Dr office for an hour), I informed her that I was having a c-section LOL they quickly got her off the phone to talk to a Dr. She came back on and said, go ahead and get checked out at the hospital. So I went back inside and told the woman at the urologist office that I needed to go because I was having contractions. She said, "oh wait let me see if the Dr can see you first", and tried to call him over, "oh, no, I said, you dont understand Im in labor, I need to go" LOL..That was pretty funny. She gave me back my copay and I was on my way to La Jolla hospital.

I called Brett and told him what was happening, I thought surely, Im not REALLY in labor and didnt want him leaving work for a false alarm. He said he wanted to come be there, but I didnt know yet what was going to happen and told him to wait and see what I found out. I then called grandma and told her what was happening and that I needed to pack!!!!! I had packed everything for Brett for the hospital but had delayed on myself and had NOTHING packed!! lol.. not a good idea. Not to mention I had just found out we needed to do a c-section so what I needed for the hosptial had changed. Grandma was walking back from the hair salon so was almost running back, and Brett was preparing to leave work.

I arrived at La Jolla and they hooked me up to the monitor (weird: the nurse that checked me in was from Kansas and had went to the same little college as me?!!?? strange!) and found out that YES they were contractions and they were coming about 2-4 minutes apart and I was 2 cm dialated. The nurse called the Dr to decide what they wanted to do, I guess they could delay labor for awhile if they wanted too with some shot. I told her I wasnt ready!! LOL so many more things to do in the nursey, and had to stock the pantry, cook, etc etc. She asked if I seriously wanted to wait (yea right! ask any 39 week pregnant woman if they REALLY want to wait??!!) which I said no, if the baby wanted to come then it was time. So the nurse called the doctor and the doctor decided today was the day!!!! Things started happening REALLY fast by then, I called Brett told him what was happening (he was already on his way), called Grandma and started tell her things to pack, where to find them, etc etc. It was madness!!!

My Dr (Dr Zaid), could actually do the c-section if I had it at 6 but since I had eaten something earlier in the day they wanted to wait so I found out Dr Makini, another Dr in the office was going to do it instead. I was prepared for this, so just went with the flow- I was more in shock!! the baby is coming today!!! They checked me into a Labor and Delivery room and Brett and Grandma showed up, things were moving faster and faster!! They wanted to do the surgery at 9:30pm so we had a couple hours to wait- or so we thought. About an hour later Dr Makini came in and said that actually they were going to wait to take me because another woman was about to push. About 20 minutes later she came in and said they were going to take me RIGHT then because and it looked like it may be awhile with the other woman.

YIKES!!

Things moved faster and faster, they got a cute outfit for Brett

And and prepped me, and wheeled me to surgery!! I went in first alone, so they could get everything hooked up. The anasteiologist told me they were going to give me a spinal with no local, aka not numbed up but really it wasnt bad and soon they let Brett back in. He took a picture of the clock as he was waiting:



And by 8:44pm little Ariella had arrived!!! The surgery wasnt so bad, they jerked and pulled me a whole lot, she was REALLY stuck in there but she came out crying strong :) She scored an 8 on her Apgar then a 9 which is GREAT- 10 is the best you can get. Theres more of the hospital story (like how I DEMANDED to see her and ended up out of bed only 4 hours after surgery) but its getting late here so thats all for today :)

Love you all!!
Brett Michelle and little Ariella
Grandma Myers and Papi Ronnie

Hope you enjoy!!

Bath time is lots of fun!!!


Today was little Ari's first bath!!! Visit our Picasa web album for some pictures :) she was SURE she didnt like it at first then quickly decided she enjoyed it!! Her favorite part was the hair washing in the end- she just LOVES it! She close her eyes and just basks in the warm water... Its so funny! You would swear shes a princess receiving a hair treatment, complete bliss!

I will note that the next diaper change after the bath she peed all over herself!! LOL I lifted her up to change her diaper and oops! there went a stream, arced high in the air (almost hit her face) and drenched herself.. Oh well! Guess it will be bath time again tomorrow!

We visited the Doctor today- she said she is back to birth weight!!YEAAAAA!!! 7lbs 9oz!! We dont have to go back until the 2 month checkup and shots. :( not excited. The pediatrician remarked on how cute she is- and since shes a professional I have to say I am one proud Mamma (and Papa of course).

She is now smiling some and making more facial guestures, shes awake longer and getting more beautiful by the day. I hear her laugh sometimes in her sound and its the most beautiful sound in the world, like little bells, I cannot wait until she laughs again!!

Please keep us in your prayers, we are running into some problems feeding and its very hard for all of us. Brett is doing good at work, but need some prayer there as well as some big decisions are being made..

Love you all!
Michelle, Baby Ariella and Gma Myers

Important Links

These are importants links:

To the photo album that we will continually update with Ariella pictures:
http://picasaweb.google.com/ms.micheller/AriellaArleneBayer?feat=directlink

To my You tube account where we wll upload Ariella videos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGhHqbV6Y4o

Once you get to my You Tube account, go look at the rest of my videos to see them all:)

The things that break my heart..

Weird what motherhood will do to you, these are now the things that break my heart:

1.Spit up: every time she does this I think shes going to choke to death

2. Clipping fingernails: we tried this once, it ended up in blood and tears, blood on her part and tears on mine- I have decided she will just have the worlds longest fingernails until I can find someone to do this for me so I can leave the room or possibly the city (they do this at the vet office, why not the pediatrician office?)

3. Drug addicts/prostitutes/etc: every time I see these people it makes me think.. you were SOMEONES BABY!!! its just too sad..

4. Scary movies: ok.. so it doesnt break my heart but now I have absolutely no desire to see a scary movie, wont even watch previews, theres too much to be afraid of in the world I dont need to make things up...

5. Pain baby cry: its true, the crys are different when shes in pain, I heard it when I cut her fingernail and its the worst sound in the world... worse even because I caused it...By the way, shes fine, barely nicked her finger..

6. Gas: I know bretts brothers are going to laugh at this heading, but when Ari has gas shes squirms and looks so uncomfortable and theres nothing I can do.. poor baby...

Its true, you dont ever feel pain or love like this until you have a baby, both for your baby and for your partner- my love for Brett has increased exponentially! I want more babies ASAP!! lol..Brett however is quick to remind me of the last 9 months, I forgot.. HE REMEMBERS!!! LOL...


Love you all!!
Michelle and baby Ari

so long babyhood....

Well maybe not "so long", but farwell to newborn newborn phase. Tonight Ariella lost her umbelical cord stump, I found it in her Swaddler when I went to change her diaper :( we are kinda sad to see it go... Shes growing up so fast!! But happy at the same time because this means babys first bath (trust us she needs it).

Last night we did an impromptu photo shoot with our little angel :) You knew it was coming, it was only a matter of time with 2 photographers in the household. I only edited a couple pictures, Im limited in what I can do with our free Picasa software and really they were quite striking in the raw- such a beautiful baby!! Im biased but.. well you will see!! I think the grandparents will enjoy this! Feel free to download, print, enlarge you name it. If you want a high res photo let me know and I can email it too you. We hope to use some of these photos for our birth annoucements which we hope to do soon..

ENJOY!!
Love
Brett, Michelle, baby Ariella and Gma Myers

Heres Sherrie Bayers King Ranch Chicken Recipe (much loved by us and the Bayer family) Im posting it by request :) ENJOY!!

This recipe is in the 1995 edition of Southern Living Annual Recipes. I have added my changes/modifications in parentheses. You’ll see that I tend to “tweak” recipes until I get them the way we like them.

King Ranch Chicken

4 skinned and boned chicken breast halves
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter (I use olive oil)
1 green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 10 ounce cans Rotel (I use 1 can regular Rotel and 1 can mild Rotel)
1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 can cream of chicken soup, undiluted
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas, cut into quarters ( I use small flour tortillas cut in bite size
squares because our neighbors the Pooles make it that way)
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese (I use more—sometimes I add Monterey Jack cheese, too)

• Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and bake on a foil covered cookie sheet at 350 for 20 minutes or until done; cool. Coarsely chop chicken and set aside.
• Sauté onion and green pepper in butter or olive oil until tender crisp. Remove from heat and stir in chicken, Rotel, and soups.
• Place 1/3 tortilla squares in bottom of a lightly greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Top with 1/3 chicken mixture and sprinkle evenly with part of the cheese
• Repeat the layers twice, reserving remaining cheese
• Bake at 350 for 35 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle with reserved cheese and bake 5 more minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Little Lightning Bug




Hello Everyone!!
Life is good here in California, Brett and I are enjoying very little sleep and LOTS of baby loving. As you can see from the picture, Ariella is our little lightning bug, shes attached to what is called a “billi blanket” . This billy blanket is basically a UV light that helps treat jaundice by removing Billiruben (not sure spelling) or neutralizing it. We’ve been back to the hospital every day since we were released because her billireuben levels kept going up meaning her jaundice was getting progressively worse.. not good..however it could be worse.
After the blood test yesterday the doctor had the billi blanket ordered and delieved to our house, QUITE the ordeal let me tell you- this HUGE moving truck thing pulls up and this HUGE guy gets out, all to deliver this tiny little bag LOL!!! We’ve been treating her all night and supplementing her feedings to flush out the bad stuff. We hope after the blood test this morning she will be in the clear and we can stop- who knew we would be thankful for a regular 3am feeding?? LOL..
Anyways- we will keep everyone updated and when I have more sleep I will tell everyone the whole hospital story..

Love everyone!!!
Brett, Michelle and Little Lightning bug Ariella!!
P.s. Also there are new pics on our PICASA website
P.P.S Look at the picture, we let Ariella use a pacifier for like 2 seconds- notice how shes holding it IN HER MOUTH??!!! LOL pretty funny, she literally held iit in her mouth when we tried to take it way (one smart baby!) but eventually she gave in when offered something tastier 

Ariella Arlene Bayer

http://picasaweb.google.com/ms.micheller/AriellaArleneBayer?feat=directlink
Ok Grandparents, loved ones, family, and friends here are some MUCH anticipated photos of our little lovey :)

Ariella Arlene Bayer (pronounced Are - E- Ella)

We are home from the hospital as a family and its FANTASTIC!! Lots of naps and cuddling and just loving going on over here. Its great to have three sets of arms to hold the little one and I would have to say she has hardly been set down yet.

We had to go to the Pediatrican this morning to get another jaundice blood test, poor baby, her levels are back up more but not to worry! The doctor thinks
that its actually on its way to resolving itself. We will go back to get more blood tests tomorror and will go from there. If her count is still up they will give here this little blanket that glows blue, she basically sleeps in it and looks like a cute little glow worm!!! :) We will update tomorrow...

As for me, Im still in some pain but it seems to get better every time Im around my wonderful husband and amazing daughter (why dont pharmacies just perscribe those instead?). Ive probably been moving a little much which has added to the pain but its just hard to accept help for things that i feel I can/should do myself. I will learn.. hopefully the easy way.....

enjoy the photos- we will probably do a photo shoot with her in the next few days or so and get some really artistic shots. Shes just BEAUTIFUL and changing rapidly every day, getting more hair, making little sing songy sighing sounds, getting more alert and making eye contact...Its just amazing...

Love you all!
Michelle Brett and Ariella
and Grandma

Blog Update

Michelle was sitting in a doctor’s waiting room when she started having contractions. She called the OB and then went to the hospital. I left work, drove home to pick up Grandma Myers, and went to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. Grandma Myers has been such a great help these past few weeks.

Ariella Arlene Bayer was born via C-section at 2044 on 10/5/2009. Her name means Lioness of God and is pronounced Ari-Ella, not Airy Ella. Her Stats: 7 lb 8 oz, 19.25 inches. Initially she had an elevated breathing rate, so she stayed in the nursery for a few hours.

As of Wednesday, Michelle and Ariella are still in the hospital, but I have come home to prepare the house and also to go to my job. I found out Ariella has jaundice, so the hospital has put her under the bright lights of UV therapy. Michelle tells me that Ariella hates the bright lights and especially the sun glasses. I think she is too cool for those sunglasses and needs to be at home w/ Michelle and I or at the beach catching rays…not in some blue box. Just my opinion though. Please pray that Ariella will be able to come home on Friday and that the jaundice will go away.

Michelle is still in a good bit of pain and will be recovering for 6 weeks. She won’t be able to drive or climb stairs. We have a set of stairs in the house, so she will probably just make one trip up/down a day.

Our small group has been awesome and very supportive. They will be bringing us meals at home for the next two weeks. Lots of group members have already come by the hospital. They are so awesome!

Fun Family Time and the COUNTDOWN begins!!

This weekend we had some fun family times!!

Christie my cousin (John and Sue's daughter, and bridesmaid), came to visit us from Pepperdine this weekend, we had TONS of fun shopping, eating, watching horrible movies (dont ask), eating, laundry LOTS of laundry and eating.. LOL.. College kids are hungry!!!! We loved cooking for her and made sure she was sent home with bags and bags of food, we call it "pantry shopping". We got to do some baby shopping and just enjoyed our time together. Sunday she headed out and we got to go to the late service at church which makes for a nice lazy Sunday morning and lets Brett sleep in a little (he works EVERY day but Sunday- so is pretty tired)

7 days until the big BIRTHDAY!!! We are excited on this end, Brett is so ready to hold her and declares he will watch Monday night football with her on her birthday LOL.. I know he really will... Im doing ok, had BAD insomnia last night and feel a little achy today but we still arent done getting ready so she just cant come yet!! lol... Do babies understand that?

Grandmas doing good, cleaning, cooking, taking nice walks in this beatiful weather (its REALLY cooled off) and loving California. We got some good news, Mom and her Finacee and my little sister Jen will be joining us for Thanksgiving :) this is WONDERFUL as they tell me I will still be on bedrest and wouldnt be able to cook a Thanksgiving meal. Im very happy for the help as Grandma has to head back mid-November.


Things are good hear!!! 7 days left!!

Love Michelle, Brett and Grandma Myers

P.S. We tried for October 13th, Ryans (Bretts brother) birthday but the hospital was BOOKED solid!! We settled for the 12th, Columbus Day which happens to be my Grandpa Robinsons birthday :) so at least we get 1 family member!!

To C or not to C

Well....
If you havent heard already baby Bayer will be arriving October 12th..

How can we be so sure you may ask??

Well...We are "to C" C-section that is..
We are scheduled for a C-Section at La Jolla Scripps Hospital. Our OB feels that with Baby Bayer measuring so big (and getting bigger and bigger and bigger..) plus the big stomach thing that it would be better for her to go that route, versus the other risks..

So October 12th at around 730 am, it is unless complications arise or she just decides to arrive early :) Which we dont think will happen, she likes it where she is too much, and who wouldnt? Its getting a little crowded now but pretty nice otherwise.

In other news, my purse was stolen, and the deal fell through with the vending business (not the best day).

My wonderfully awesome cousin Christie (uncle John and aunt Sues daughter) is visiting for the weekend and we are LOVING it!!! She arrived today bearing tidings of much dirty laundry :) and a hungry stomach which we are happy to fill!! We are happy we get to keep her the whole weekend and are looking forward to fun family time.

Bretts working this Saturday- please pray for him as he continues to work very hard long hours.


PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE!!!
Danny and Angie (Brett and now MY aunt and uncle) just had a son!!! He was "born of their hearts" on September 30th and is 5 months old. He is the cutest little boy!!! They have been waiting patiently for the perfect little one for their lives and got the answer to their prayers. We are so happy to see the family growing and cant wait to meet their little one.


Well thats all for now....

Love you all!
Michelle, Brett, Gma Myers and Cousin Christie!!
