My Baby

DSCN0911 

I love everything about you. You were literally made for me, I could not have asked for a more perfect baby. I love your lips and their smiles, your eyes, your little button nose and your ears that have a slight point to them. Your hands are amazing and so expressive, I can’t kiss them enough. Your feet have always been large but they are still so tiny and I love how you curl your toes when I touch them.

Your daddy and I love you so so much, you have forever changed our lives for the better. Even when you are overly tired and flailing your arms about, getting in some good jabs I still feel so lucky to have you. I never knew love could come so instantly and I can’t believe I can love you more yet each day you prove me wrong.

Not only have our lives changed for the better but you have brought so much joy to your grandparents and aunts and uncles. They literally fight to hold and spend time with you. Our friends are also smitten by you and can’t visit enough. Even Zoey is trying to get belly rubs from you already. No one can resist you.

I love you great big whole world, always and forever!!

<3 Mommy

New photos

Just wanted to post some new photos, I just uploaded these from my camera…

DSCN0875 I don’t know why I love this so much but I can’t get enough of it

DSCN0889This is his newest pose, chin up!

I should be updating more

Adrian is freaking adorable and I can’t get enough of him. I can’t believe how quickly he is growing and changing. He laughed for the first time the other night (the 10th) I most definitely teared up.

He will be 3 months old on Monday, I can’t believe it.

I feel like a grown up (besides the fact I’m married and have a baby) because I got my first lap top. I’ve never even had a computer of my own before, I’m so ridiculously excited and hope to be able to update a lot more since I can move it around the house with me.

Once I have pictures uploaded to the computer I will start posting them on here.

Quick update

Adrian James was born 12/15/09 at 10:15am weighing 8lbs. and 20in long.

I was supposed to be induced Tuesday morning at 7, Monday night at Benihana's I started having contractions. Used Contraction Master on Corey's phone and went from 6 minutes apart to 4 minutes apart in about an hour. Showered when I got home so see if they would subside but they were coming quicker. Got to the hospital at 10pm, 4 cm dilated Adrian was sunny side up so I was having terrible back labor and his heart rate kept dropping, I caved and got the epi around 1:30am when I was 4-5cm, they then broke my water and started pitocen. Checked again at 4:30 fully dilated but baby hadn't dropped, practice pushes at 6:40-7am but baby was still too high. 8:45-10:15am pushed "for reals" and Adrian was born! Dr. cut me and I tore but recovery from that has been easy however my nipples are going to fall off from breastfeeding. He was born with a fever of 103 so I didn't get to see hold him for about 20 minutes but Corey was with him the whole time, he has a rash that we got checked out yesterday but they said it's just a newborn rash and nothing to worry about.

I'm so completely head over heels in love.

Merry Christmas!!!

Still pregnant

I like how my ticker to the left says I'm -7 days. Yes, Nameless Newman has decided to do things on his own time and has yet to make his debut. This doesn't surprise me one bit because Corey and I are both stubborn and hate to be told what to do, WE however always make it everywhere on time! I hope this is not a sign of what's to come, tardiness is one of my biggest pet peeves, probably something I need to get over now that I will have another person to get out the door.
Maybe he's staying in because he knows he doesn't have a name yet, we have a list I promise! We are just waiting to meet you and see your beautiful face to make sure your name fits you.

The anticipation is killing me! I want so badly to hold this little miracle, see his tiny nose and toes, kiss and love on him, come out baby come out! As much as the anticipation is getting to me Corey is going to need to be committed here shortly if he doesn't get to meet his son very soon. Tuesday is our induction day, it's only a few days away yet still seems so far away. We were hoping to do some fun stuff this weekend since it'll be our last without a baby but the weather is not permitting. It's been raining on and off, it's actually pouring down pretty good at the moment.

My dad had an angiogram Thursday because he's been feeling some pressure in his chest, everything went very smoothly. He does have a 70% blockage but because of the location there isn't anything they can do about it BUT that's ok because the part of the heart it is going to is "dead". That artery feeds into the part of his heart that he had the heart attack in so it isn't accepting blood because of the scar tissue. This small artery has the blockage at the corner where it meets a main artery, they come together like a "T" with the main artery being the top part, they can't put a stent in because they don't want to risk creating a blockage for the main artery. I think that right, that's what I took away from it all atleast. He is at home, recovering well and being a naughty patient because he refuses to stay still and walks up and down the stairs all day.

So that's pretty much all that's been going on around here. I got all of my family Christmas shopping done, Corey's parents are done, gift baskets will be made for his brothers, our grandma's and friends. I don't know how much baking I'll be doing this year having a newborn and all, had he come when he was due we'd already be home and well on our way to getting adjusted but everyday he doesn't arrive is one more day closer to the chaos of Christmas. Corey and I have decided to not get each other gifts this year, instead we are putting the money towards fun stuff for the both of us like an IHome, Corey has been wanting one that can be used with the TV but they are on the expensive side so it's a perfect gift, I can't wait to have my ipod on surround sound and he can't wait to watch movies.
