Adjusting....

to a whole new life as a mom..... wow, I can't believe that! Deep thought, you have to "practice" driving for a whole year before they let you hit the open road, and take 2 tests, but they will hand you a baby in 48 hours and send you on your way..... Corban's eating schedule at night is great! He eats every 3 hours, I feed him then daddy gets up, changes his diaper, and rocks him back to sleep. Even though Eric has been back at work since Wed. he still gets up every time with me. Corban seams to have a relaxed temperment.... except for when it comes to his food, but hey who isn't fussy when it is past time to eat. I love the fact that when he is crying because its time to eat I can go pick him up and start talking to him and he quiets down.... cuz he knows whats commin'......

He's here he's here!!!! The most beautiful baby in the whole wide world!!!!

Daddy loves me

Right after delivery.

Sleep!!!!!

So last night I actually was able to sleep through the night. YIPPIE!!!! Seeing as how yesterday I was up at 3 and the day before up at 1.... What is up with that? This morning I am hurting a good bit. I don't know that it as much contractions as it is pressure. It is hard to tell because my contractions are not bad just uncomfortable. My doc seams to think I could deliver without the pain meds. I told her that when the time comes to clear the way for the drug man!!!! Oh, well I am off to work..... unless Corban comes soon..... but he could stil arrive today sometime. Most everyone is placing bets on tomorrow. Oh well, in other news, tomorrow is my last day at work. Since I go back to the doc on Monday and they may keep me, but it will not be till afternoon. I also want that one day to get some stuff DONE. Because Tues .he will be here fo sho and our little world will be completely different........

Progress.....

I will spare you the details but things are getting closer. My contractions are gradually getting stronger but still not consistent. In the mean time, Corban is quite the entertainment with my shape shifting belly......

Doc update!

So, I just got home from the doc.... GOOD NEWS!!!! I am actually dialated.... to a 1 & 1/2 YAY!!!! Actual progress!!! I go back Monday for a "final check," if he is not here by then, or if they don't have a reason to keep me, they will induce me Tues at 5 am!!!! YIPPIE I AM SSSSSOOOOOOOO excited! Oh, and needless to say so is his daddy....

My venting!!!!!!!!!

Ok, why do women who have almost died (sarcasam) in childbirth feel the reason to track me down and tell me how much pain and torture they endured during labor? Seriously? You somehow managed to make it. Did you want to listen to someone elses horror stories of labor before you had your first kid? Besides what kind of friend tells you those kinds of stories before you have a kid. I had someone track me down because they wanted to tell me how awful their labor was. I just looked at them and said sorry, but I don't want to hear your story. They, in so many words, said I was being rude. Well, you guys know me.... I in so many words said no, you are being rude for tracking me down to tell me your story. I know we don't live in a perfect world and that complications happen and so do bad experiences..... but seriously... I DON'T CARE!!!!!! KEEP YOUR SOB STORIES TO YOURSELF!!!!! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!!!!



On another note, if you have not seen Fireproof you need to, it was great!

Valentine Recap

Eric and I don't go all out on Valentines. Don't get me wrong, we always do something special just not massive. This year I put together some of his favorite sweets in a valentine bucket with a card... they are packed and ready to go to the hospital! I also got a card and what has been my latest sweet crave... butterfingers!!!! About 10:30 or so we headed to the mall to get some walking in..... needless to say it didn't work so great. Oh, I had contractions and had to stop alot but nothing worth writing home about. While we were there we ran into Michael, Jennifer and Sarah... who Eric just wanted to keep. While talking to them Eric's sister and her husband came walking by.... so we got to have lunch with them. Which was a treat because they live in Oxford and we don't get to see them too often. After the mall it was off to church for our valentines dinner. It was great! It was $20 per couple, which included dinner, lasagna or chicken parmeasan with salad, bread and dessert. All of the ladies got a single rose and after we ate we watched the movie Fireproof. It was so much fun! I don't have pics because the camera is in the suitcase..... But they did take pics there and if we buy some I will get them posted!

I go back to the doc today..... I guess we will see....
