getting bigger!

we had our first checkup yesterday and besides all the poking and cutting, we weighed our "little" guy. He has gained an ounce and a half! That makes him 9lbs 4 oz! He is now in the 95th percentile for a guy his age...

And, he is eating like a CHAMP!! My milk has begun to regulate, and {k} let me sleep last night, so it has been a good couple of days. Happy Friday!!

he's here!

Baby #4 {k} was born Friday at 4:35pm. I went in for a shceduled induction, and while waiting for the antibiotics to work, and for the Dr. to break my water, it broke on its own at 1:30pm. By 3:30 I was fully dialated and ready to push, but alas, I had to wait until after 4:15 for the Dr to be ready to catch my boy. 2 contractions, and 4 pushes later, he was born. 9lbs 2.6 oz. Big guy! We are home and all is well. Thanks for all the well wishes. If I didn't text you and you would like to know his name, you will have to call or email me privately. :) I will post pictures soon. Maybe in a few days.

not sure why I am posting AGAIN...

but here goes... I am getting nervous. So nervous that I couldn't sleep from 1:45 to I don't know what time after 3am. I just laid there, and then I took up reading my "what to expect" book on the couch. That seemed to have done the trick, cuz I finally fell asleep.. But, my word, you would think this is the time that I NEED my sleep.

I am also getting excited too. I can NOT wait to meet my little boy.

I have really loved being pregnant, but I also can NOT wait to get his feet out of my ribs. :)

one week...

I am set to be induced next Friday morning at 10am. I can't wait! I don't remember being THIS ready, or this ANXIOUS about the other births, but this one, I am. I have been given strict instructions to lay low this weekend, but come Monday, I will be NESTING! I have a list a mile long that I want to get taken care of before baby comes, and while I know they wont all get done, I plan to give it a valiant effort trying to check everything off before next Friday. :)
