Welcome little man!

As you all know he is FINALLY here! Our little man made is big entrance on October 17, 2011 at 11:23 in the morning, weighing in at a whopping 8lbs 13oz and 21in long! We were only in the delivery room for about 12 hours..which all in all wasn't too horribly long, except that we went in at 11pm and hadn't been to bed so we were all a little sleep deprived... BUT he is COMPLETELY worth all that and all the pain (lots of pain..lol) But after all the waiting we finally got to meet our little boy! He is absolutely perfect if i do say so myself! My heart melts every time I look at him.

There is defiantly no shortage of people who love and think he is just perfect. We really couldn't be any happier and are so thankful that he is healthy, and that we have so much support from all of our family and friends during such an amazing time! We are so happy to be introducing him to everyone, and can't wait to keep doing so! On that note, I will post some pictures and go snuggle with him, because I know everyone really wants to see pictures anyway!

Just waiting...

and being silly...

More pictures to come soon!! We are going to Nana Kay and Papa Fuzz's to see everyone this weekend so we will have more to post I'm sure! 

37 weeks...well more like 36.

Well I went to my first weekly visit today, and all was well with the baby, Heart rate was at 144, stomach measured a-ok, and he is head down which is a good sign! But my original due date of Oct 29 is looking more accurate at this point than the one of 21st, unfortunately I would be ready any day now, but who knows at this point, I wasn't dilated at all but she did say my cervix was softening...so that sounded like a plus! :) lol

We are just anxiously waiting to hear better news at next weeks appointment...not that a healthy heartbeat isn't good news don't get me wrong but we are just so ready to meet our little man the anticipation is killing us...well me at least!!!!

I will post pictures soon of the baby shower, I have been meaning to but havent been feeling so hot so I haven't done much except sleep when I can! Here is a picture of the belly again!!!

35 down only 5 to go!!!

Well were getting closer and closer, and my body is feeling it. It was varicose veins, but now that pain is completely masked by the sciatic nerve pain. Its def the worst thing so far. I am not miserable otherwise but its amazing what one nerve can do to your whole body, I am going to the physical therapist on Tuesday before my regular appointment, and really hoping that changes things because its increasingly hard to do much of anything even laying in bed isn't all that comfortable with the pain shooting thru my leg/hip.  So I'm hoping some physical therapy will help!!

On a happier note, our little man seems to be growing just fine, he's still moving so much and gets the hiccups multiple times a day. He moves and kicks all the time, I can tell he's getting stronger because the kicks are keeping me awake now and now you can defiantly see a foot/hand moving across my belly not just a jump.

We go back to the doc tuesday and then we will see the doc in 2 weeks and then its once a week till we have a baby! (Were hoping its that easy :) haha) Hoping to have more news at an appointment soon, more than just everything measures great and heartbeat is great, (not that its not awesome to hear that) BUT I would love to hear them move my due date up or something!! LOL not sure what they can really tell me at this point buuut I would love to hear he will be here sooner than oct 21st!

And here's a picture at 35 weeks!

Belly

So ordering proofs of my maternity pictures and had the brilliant idea (well i thought anyway) to record my belly moving, since he moves all the time now and it shifts my whole stomach its pretty easy to see. If you go to about 15 seconds in that's where you can really see the movement and my whole stomach sort of rolling! Its so fun for me to watch and feel thought I'd share!

Maternity Pictures

So i was only going to post my favorite pictures, but I couldn't decided because I LOVE them ALL so i posted them all. I will be getting more in on a CD in the mail soon so after that I may have a few more to report! I had a friend from school take them and she did an amazing job!! I can't wait for him to be here so she can take newborn pictures too! :)

Just realized that in a little over a month I should have a baby(45 days to be exact!) :) I can't wait for him to finally be here! I can't sleep anyway so I might as well have someone to spend my sleepless nights with! 

Something about this one just cracks me up! 

This is my favorite....

31 weeks and counting!

Only 9 more weeks to go!!! I am getting very uncomfortable and ready for him to be here already!!! The kicks are getting much stronger and more obvious that its a foot/hand or his head or but...also he's had the hiccups quiet a few times lately!! I'm loving all the kicks as long as they stay out of my ribs and off my bladder... otherwise its a little uncomfortable too. I'm defiantly showing more signs of being pregnant other than just the big belly...I've been eating lots more and random things..a brownie at 6 am on my way to work was a good start. lol

All in all though as soon as our basement gets carpet put back in and I get things situated again...I'll be ready whenever he is, especially since brett is back at school, I'm going to need someone to spend time with!!!

Anyway here's the good stuff... 31 week picture. Next week I am having my maternity pictures done so we'll have some good ones to post! Can't wait!!!
