Smile! You're 6 weeks old!
I have been trying to get J's smile on camera for THREE WEEKS! He smiles all the time, he even smiled at one of our cats today. :D

French Press Knits
Once upon a time, I used to knit quite a lot. I have made sweaters, socks, scarves, hats, mittens, you kname it I knit it! The last pattern I bought was French Press Knit's Felted Slipper Pattern. Melinda was so nice when I read over the pattern and didn't understand something, she emailed me back like 2 seconds after I sent her my question. Such service! But alas... I had to go and have a baby and I am stuck on the second row of said pattern... one day...
In the meantime, I am trying to win an already knitted pair of slippers. Hahaha. Please go check her stuff out, she is really talented and super, super nice!

He is here!
Born 1/4/10 via c-section. He is 8.8 lbs, 21" long, had Apgar scores of 8 & 9, and has dark blonde hair, like his Daddy! He has my nose, though. Pics later!

40w2d
Well my due date has come and gone... and now we just wait...
At least if nothing happens by Sunday, I can get induced. I will be 41 weeks. Not too shabby.

What a weekend!!
From this morning: So I'm home, still pregnant. The induction failed and my bp stabilized. J is doing GREAT - his heart rate never stressed during the induction, so I got sent home and I am on bedrest. I got Pitocin and was contracting every 2 minutes, but they were not painful at all. Since my doctor is VERY anti c-section, he said he didn't want to give me any more Pitocin and here we are. I would really prefer not to have a c-section, either. I might still get one in the end (you never know), but my body just isn't ready yet. J is at least 8 lbs, though. So he'll be fine, regardless. I have to get Mike to was the 0-3 size clothes tonight, all I washed were the newborn sizes. If he's going to be a big boy, newborn clothes might not cut it!
To be honest, I really want to have this baby, but I only got 3 hours of sleep Saturday night. It really sucked. I was happy to get a good night's sleep in my own bed last night! And the food was SO awful (I was able to get a dinner b/c I was only getting Cervidil Sat night). How do you ruin mashed potatoes? UGH! And they gave me cooked carrots, *barf* - my least favorite was to eat carrots. At least we were able to watch the Devils game in the room. And the chair Mike got pulled out into a nice little bed, so he was comfortable. I hated having to ring a nurse every 45 minutes to go pee, too (since I was hooked up to monitors and stuff). And the iv wasn't a good stick, so my arm was killing me (and I am no pansy when it comes to needles or iv lines!). Thankfully, the staff were all *incredible*, and super nice. That's what matters the most. I'm kind of petrified of actually giving birth. Getting the Cervidil hurt SO bad, and I don't know who would want to go natural after feeling what something little like that was.
From this afternoon: WOW. So J wasn't moving too much last night and this morning, and I mentioned it to the receptionist when I called my OB to make another appointment. She called back later and told me to go to Labor & Delivery for monitoring. J ended up being totally fine, but when she said that, I got scared! As soon as I was hooked back up on the monitors, he started rockin' and rollin'. Figures! Then my OB called in and wanted a growth ultrasound, so that was cool. His guess of an 8 lb baby was spot on - he is an 8 lb baby! He also got an 8/8 on his biophysical profile, and we got a surprise 3d ultrasound of his face!! I'm going to withold those from internet land, though, you can e-mail me if you want to see them. Or ask me on Facebook. He looks exactly like me, I think M was a little upset with that. :(
I am so tired, and so is my poor Mom, and my poor husband. I was REALLY happy Mike got home from the city in time to go down to get the ultrasound, and REALLY happy that my Mom got to see him. Also, I think it's hilarious that the first test J was ever given had an 8/8 result. He got an A+! :P

37w5d
I had another high BP reading today, so I called my doctor like he told me to. Since I'm coming in tomorrow anyway, he said he'd take it again in the office and we will decide from there if I will be admitted. He said I might get induced tomorrow or Sunday. I'm to take it easy until tomorrow when we leave. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
