Mom of 3
Not going to lie its been pretty crazy around here! I never new adding one more would be so much work. Dont get me wrong hes a wonderful baby but the schedual of the three together is a little hard to manage at times. Breast feeding for one is almost imposible. I have been trying my hardest to do it and he takes it really well now but I hardly have time to sit down and do it every time I try the boys take my attention away with something else so it ends up taking an hr to just feed him I get frustraited and give him a bottle. I dont want to dry up so I try and pump as much as I can and I feed him at night when they go to sleep I hope I can keep up with it. Sleep is a whole nother story now. before I could sleep when the boys slept so if they were up the night before I could sleep with them the next day no problem now if the baby is up all night I still have to get up with the boys the next morning and play with them. I am lucky if I get a hr nap when they go down and thats only if the baby wants to sleep too when they take there naps. Sleep is no longer around I have had a couple good nights but mostly he will be up every couple hrs to eat and it takes a little while to get him back down. Right now I am going off of maybe 5 hrs of sleep in the last 4 days sounds fun right ... not for me I feel like I cant function and James is the same way hes up all night with us. I need to come up with something soon or I might slip into a deep sleep and not here him at all. Im not complaining I new this would happen and I know it will get better with time but for now Iam exhuasted and I cant focuse. On the up side I was so wrong with how the boys would react to the whole change they love there brother! They are always wanting to kiss him and love on him help feed him give him things get his diapers if he crys they are right there wanting to make sure he is ok. I love watching them with him its so sweet. It really is a big change even going to the store is so much differant now and I forgot how much stuff you have to pack up for a baby lol. I love him to peaces hes a good baby and for the most part he just sleeps except his few nights he wants to stay up all night and mostly hes just wanting to be held hes not crying for anything he just wants to be with mom Im fine with that I just hate the lack of sleep that goes with. I think were all finally getting adjusted to him being here and Im working on a schedual wish me luck on getting some sleep Iam so tired!

Isaiahs first day of life
Isaiah's Birth Story
Where to begin. I am so happy and in love with this little guy hes brought new joy to my life the same way his brothers did when they were born.
It started at 7:30 in the morning me and James drove down to the hospital to check in for my c-section. They gave me my iv asked a million questions looked at his heart beat she kept telling me that he was looking really good. I started getting nervous the closer it came to doing the c-section I already new how the process worked but you cant help but get scared. We went to the room and they gave me my spinal which actually hurt this time I think it was because they had me lay down sideways to do it and last time I was sitting strait up and felt nothing. After that they put my catheter in and waited for me to get numb. I started getting light headed and I kept zoning in and out James said he would ask if I was ok and I wouldn't even respond to him I would just look at the ceiling. I felt so weird and out of it this time around.
It didn't take them long at all to get him out. before I new it I was feeling that heavy pressure as he was taking him out. Then I heard his cry they brought him out so I could see him and I saw how much he looked like his brothers "mostly Noah" and I lost it I started bawling I was so over whelmed with love for him it was hard to stop.
They cleaned him off and did all the checks. Isaiah Anthony Montoya born 9:10 am 6lbs 13ounce 18 1/2 inches. He was a little guy. Turned out I only gained 4 lbs this whole pregnancy don't know how that happened but he came out healthy.
I am breast feeding this time around and its been a little hard. His first day he would wake up to feed it would take the nurses and I hrs. to wake him up and when he would finally he would latch on and go at it for maybe 5 minutes and fall back asleep. He would do that all day he only ate twice the whole day. At night he finally had a good feeding that was 15 minutes so we were all happy about that. He is a big time sleeper he wouldn't wake up for anything.
The next day he was a little more awake he would wake up and stay that way for an hr or two and I would feed him. As it got night time he started getting frustrated with eating he didn't want to latch on at all and he would sit there and cry and arch so I thought he was gassy so I burped him and nothing so we had to try a little formula because he wouldn't eat and it was going on 7-8 hrs of him not eating. I have been trying different positions of feeding him and he doesn't seem to want to do it Iam not giving up I really want to breast feed Im sure he will eventually get it but I get worried that hes not eating well and I know hes hungry so I cave and give him some formula not out of the bottle but through a small tube so he will get something but not suck on a bottle. I will keep working at it.
The first day he was born we were deciding if we should have the boys come down to the hospital we didn't know how they were going to react. As soon as they got here they acted very shy they didn't really know what to make of everything they saw mom laying in a bed and holding a baby and they just kept looking at me and the baby like what is going on? They came and sat on the bed with me and they just looked at the baby. Noah held him and just looked at him Elijah didn't want the baby on him though he tried to push him away as long as he was not touching him he was fine and just looked.
I am sure they were being good just because they were in a different place not at home so we will see what happens when we bring him home. The recovery this time around is a little harder it took them several different things to get my pain under control but its finally getting better. I will be at the hospital tell Monday and depending on how he eats and my pain they will determine if I should he here tell Tuesday. I am enjoying my time with him alone though its really good bonding time. I have alot of pics to upload for this post but I will do it separate. Hes sleeping so I need to go to sleep I have not gotten much sleep yet. Hes finally here and healthy I love him so much!

False Labor
Last night I was having contractions every 3 minutes for a couple hrs. strait I never got contractions with the twins so I was new to the whole thing. I kinda figured it was because I was shopping at the store and we were there walking around for a good hr. so by the time I got home I started having them. I laid down and they came regularly. Since I am literally 1 minute away from my hospital I decided to just see where it went. So I laid down and timed them. It was not painful but enough to keep me awake most of the night. They eventually got longer and longer in between so I did not worry about it anymore. I cant believe how close it is. I am having him Friday morning unless I go any time now I think it would be interesting to see what would happen if I went into labor instead of just going in and getting him out. Speaking of contractions Im having one right now lol. I am getting a little nervous now since its a few days away, I have been through it before but I still cant help but think of the possibility of what if's also I am going to miss my boys I will be in the hospital for a few days and I have never been away from them like that Im sure it will be nice to just be with the new baby and bond but I will miss them like crazy! Well next time you hear from me I will post about the birth :) wish me luck.
