Jack's Birth

Here's Jack's story...
I woke up on December 22nd around 5:30ish in the morning and noticed I was having very light contractions about every 15 minutes or so. Throughout the day the contractions moved to every five minutes and got stronger and stronger. I mostly just hung out with my family, took a shower, watched a movie. The contractions started getting to where I wanted to be upstairs in my room and be quiet. David called our doula around 1pm and she was here by 2pm to help out. I labored at home until about 6pm and then decided to go to the hospital. Once I got to the hospital, things were really going and Jack was born at 7:27pm. I won't give all the gory details right now, but am open to tell the full story to those who want to know. I will say giving birth was probably the hardest thing I have ever done. Yet, it's so worth it. I am so happy to be Jack's Mom.

All that work is so worth it!

Jack is here!

For those of you who follow my husband's blog, you know that Jack is here!!
He was born on December 22nd at 7:27pm. He was 8lbs 5 oz and 20 inches long.
I'll give more details on the birth and more pictures as I get settled into my new life.

Still Preggers

Sorry for not posting earlier today. My parents came in today and was busy hanging out with them. I am still pregnant. Ho hum. When when when will this baby come? My official official due date is Tuesday. It was the 24th on paper, then the nurse said it's more like the 23rd from the ultrasound. I'm feeling lots and lots of pressure and I get twinges, but no contractions yet. Maybe tonight??

Still Awaiting...

Well, still pregnant. I was really really hoping for a Dec 19th baby as that is the birthday of a couple of my friends. Happy Birthday Karen and Kyle!
I'm feeling pressure and the baby has moved down, but no labor yet. My parents come in tomorrow morning, so they will most likely be here when this little guy comes. Unless he wants to come tonight with an easy/fast labor!

No Baby Yet

Just to let you know, no baby yet. I'm feeling lots and lots of pressure (no real pain though) and the baby has definitely dropped down. My sister, Christie is here now and I plan on just running around with her today in hopes that may bring on some labor?
Come baby come!!
