Life at home.....with baby

We have adjusted very well to life at home with a newborn!!  He is so good.  It is amazing to see the dad that Kris has become!!  I couldn't have asked for a better father for my son.  Nick has the funniest expressions!  And he is mommys favorite cuddle bug......when I can get him away from Grandma!!  He is already 5 days old!!  I can't believe how fast time flies!  If he hadn't come on time, today probably would have been his birthday!  We had talked about induction weeks ago, though I knew I wouldn't deliver too late.  My mom was pretty much on time with me (her first) so I knew I would go pretty close to my due date with my first!

My Little Prince

I love that my son came out TAN and I am still white!

Please mommy, no more pictures =)

Grandma is in Heaven

The best sight in the world...my boys!

Today is also Uncle Gerry's 25th Birthday!!!!  He was hoping for his nephew to be born on his bday.....but little Nick was too impatient to wait (and mommy was happy for that!)

1st Doctor's Appt

So today was Nick's first appt.  He did so great!!  Everything looks fine and he is happy and healthy!  He now weighs 7lbs. 8 oz. and is 19 1/2 in. long! 

My little boy!

Not a fan of the carseat unless car is moving!

Waiting for Dr to come in

All bundled up and cozy =)

Introducing....... =)

Nicholas Robert

Born

January 30, 2011 at 5:07pm

7 lbs. 11 ozs.  20 3/4 inches long!!!

I have to say, labor was much easier than I had anticipated!!  Delivery was pretty much what I had expected!  Although because of how he was positioned, it was definitely more painful than it should have been!  I am just glad he is finally here!!  And on time!!  That NEVER happens  =)  I am so lucky to be his mommy!  He is the BEST baby!  He scored a 9/10 on his APGAR test and the nurse said they never score babies that high!!!  I have a champion =)  He was the talk of the nursery because he is so cute! 

I'm still in shock he was so small because I thought for sure he was going to be 8 1/2-9 pounds!!  Just shows you how off the ultrasounds can be! haha  The clothes we took to the hospital were a tad bit too big!  But he will grow =)  For now, I am just loving my little newborn!!

40 Weeks....

So to everyone's surprise, I made it to 40 weeks!  Not sure why, but everyone (including the Dr.) thought Nicholas would arrive early!  Partly because I have been dilated for weeks now.....but I have been feeling way too good!! So mom and I are out running errands (hoping labor will come soon!!)  So here is me at 40 weeks waiting on baby......

Induction date is set for Feb. 3rd though I don't think I will make it to then!  At least I won't have to go more than 5 days over so thats good news =)

Work Parties!

So today was a CRAZY last day at work!!!  Everyone was surprised I made it through the day without going into labor!  (hopefully soon!!!)  Every single patient I saw was like "HOW ARE YOU STILL WORKING!!!"  By the end of the day, I was asking myself the same thing!!  But I did get a laugh out of the fact that people are amazed I am still wearing my wedding rings...yep I have them both on!  One of the pregnant patients said she hasn't worn either of hers since 22 weeks! haha 

The girls threw me a little party......Nick got some awesome gifts, had lots of food and Janelle made an amazing cake!!!  I am not a fan of cake, but I seriously could have eaten the whole thing!!  I am definitely going to miss them but can't wait to be home with my son for a few months! =)

Half way through the day I get a text from Kris saying that his work also had a party for him......weird huh!  He was not expecting it.....and its not like today was his last day!! haha  So Nick has even MORE stuff!!!   This kid is truly spoiled!  And we honestly haven't really had to buy anything.  I think I have only bought like 3 of his millions of outfits and all of the big stuff we were given at baby showers!  Its been nice.  Kris would kill me for posting this, but I had to!!  I thought it was a cute idea =)



Daddys Tool Belt!



Super cute right!!!  Kris, being a man, did not think it was as "cute" as I did.  haha

Well Mom arrives EARLY tomorrow morning!!!  I am excited!!  And even more excited to do some shopping with her before baby arrives......unless he comes tonight!  I will keep you posted!!! 

XOXO

39 Weeks

I can't believe he is almost here!!!!! 

Me Day!!

Its weird to think this is my LAST day off at home......ALONE!!!  I work tomorrow and Monday (my last day!!) and mom gets here early Tues morning.....and then baby will be arriving shortly!!  It just hit me.....but......what a wonderful change it will be though!!!  So today I plan on doing a day for ME!!  No working on baby stuff.  (We'll see if that actually happens haha)  and tonight the Hubby is taking me out on a date!!!  Its actually been fun trying to do as much as we can together before Nicholas arrives!

Everything is going great and I can't even imagine what it will feel like again not to be pregnant!!  =)  Due in 9 days....so we will continue the waiting game on when he decides to come out and play.  Unfortunately, I still feel great so I think it might be awhile.....
