A few more pics of my chunk

Sad days.....

It's officially my last week off of work with my little guy:( I have really enjoyed being a SAHM for the last seven weeks but of course reality is about to set back in. I will go back to work on the 4th and Cade will start school on the 11th. He will be spending time with his grandma's the week in between. I know that I would go crazy being a SAHM forever but I would love to be able to for awhile........oh well.

Here are a few pics of our little guy.

Wow! Its been a long time since I updated this thing. Our little man was born on June 9th at 5:21pm. He was 8lbs 2ozs and 19 inches. I went in for a normal doctors appointment on the 9th and the doc said that there was no way that I was going to make it to the scheduled cesarean so he wanted me to go to triage and monitor my contractions and we would probably do the section in the morning!! I went to have my contractions monitored and something that the doctor saw made him want to go ahead with the section that afternoon!!!!!!!! Needless to say, I called Justin and told him to get to the hospital and to call everyone else on the way. He made it just in time and was put in to scrubs and hurried to the OR to meet me. The section went great and he came out screaming at the top of his lungs! Justin got to walk him up to our room while the doctors finished stitching me up. He said that the screaming did not stop the entire time.........and he was still screaming when I got there. Finally he calmed down and we got to cuddle with him.

To be continued........the little guy just woke up from his nap.

Well I called the doctor yesterday morning because all weekend I was having some cramps and the baby's heart rate was up and down. They wanted me to come in just to check the baby out and low and behold......I was 2cm dilated!! The cramps that I have been feeling were contractions. They sent me up to Labor and Delivery to get a non-stress test on the baby. I was hooked up for about 3 hours and everything looked great. They sent me home to wait........I go back today to see my normal doctor but I am sure that nothing has really changed. I'll keep you posted!!

So now I know how women feel when they are near the end of their pregnancy and just uncomfortable. I mean I was just fine on Sunday and then when Monday came around.......the uncomfortable feeling set in and has not let up! I will take a few moments to vent as I know that Justin and friends are tired of hearing it. They just don't understand:) I am just so, so, so ready to get Cade into the world now. I swear, I think he must take after his daddy in size.....well, when Justin was a baby. I think he was a little over 12lbs when he was born!! You would never know it now because he is a fit, average guy, but can you imagine??? All that I want to do now is lay in my bed with a warm towel on my stomach. I can't sleep and I just feel like I need a good cry......not because I am sad but because I can't breathe!!

I know it will be over soon enough and I have definitely enjoyed it...Who wouldn't? It is the only time that it is possible to help God out in creating a miracle......I am just anxious to be a mommy.

Drumroll..............

So Cade's birthday is scheduled for June 16th. My doctor agreed with the cesarean. He thinks that I would be alright with a normal, easy delivery but with this being our first baby, he said that it could easily be an extremely long labor and he did not want that much stress put on my heart. June 16th is only 5 days before his due date so hopefully he will hold out until then. We are ready and waiting!!
