The end is near!

Went to the doctor yesterday and was told that if the baby doesn't come by Monday, she is going to induce!! Wahoo! There is an end in site.

Thanks to all of my friends who have given me their love and support, I know that I have been a pain through out this pregnancy. I promise that I will update as soon as he gets here!

Baby Update

So, went to the doctor and this kid is already 4 - 4.5 pounds!! Doc figures that at this rate that if he goes full term, we are looking at close, if not over 9 pounds. 9 Pounds people!! Maybe that's why I have been contracting so much this time around, my body doesn't WANT to carry a 9 pounder. Guess we will have to wait and see.

Baby Update

Okay, so at the last appointment on Tuesday, doc said that at this point the contractions aren't doing anything even though they are 15 minutes apart, so I just need to keep it easy and to see her again next Friday. So here's hopin' that by next Friday things will be the same and we can keep this baby in for a couple more weeks if not months!

I am just thankful that I have the job that I do and that I work for the company that I do and that I work with some of the best people. They have been really understanding and have done everything that they can to help make this easier on me.

Update

So, here is what has been going on with us. I have been placed on temporary bed rest due to contractions and cramping. Kirra has been really good about this and will "read" stories to her brother and tells him he has to stay in and get big and strong. Poor Shawn has been working overtime to get the latest project done and has been working 14-16 hour days this week. We are hoping that after a week of bed rest, I will be able to resume some of my normal mommie duties. I am allowed to get up and get some food and water, go to the bathroom and shower, other than that, it's laying on a side. So if anyone has any ideas to help stave off bordom, I would appreciate it.

Baby Names

Okay, so we have been having an interesting time thinking up boy names. We still have quite a bit of time, so we aren't stressing yet. But, I found this great website that makes fun of a bunch of names and says all the things that you always wish you could say, but don't 'cause your nice.

Let me know if you have any ideas for us!

The Baby

Okay, so we had our ultrasound yesterday and… IT’S A BOY!! Everything looked really good and right where it should be. Ten Fingers, Ten Toes, and One, well, you know… He’s about 8 ounces right now and the size of a hot dog bun. So, as of right now we are still on track for a Thanksgiving delivery, unless I can convince my doctor otherwise!

I have pictures, but they aren't digital, so I am working on a way to scan them. We have a really cute picture of him crossing his legs, he wasn't sure if he wanted to let us know what he was. But, with the tech's prodding, she got the legs to move and after that, he wasn't shy!

Morning Sickness

Okay, so with this baby I am much more sick than I ever was with Kirra. I would welcome any and all suggestions of how to alleviate any symptoms. I have tried the preggie pops, peppermint tea, eating toast/crackers before getting out of bed, sipping Coke/Pepsi. The newest to be tested is the 1/2 Unisom and a B6 vitamin. So, please let me know if any of you have a different idea that worked for you!

The Newest News!

Okay, so Shawn and I have found out that we are expecting our second baby! We are due at the first of December. This came as a shock to us, we weren't trying to have another one.
