OK.....THIS is BRAVE!!!

Soooo..... Here are my before and 1 WEEK AFTER photos.....I've lost 13 lbs here, but of course its too early to start working out yet.....I'm also breast feeding, so can't really go on any stright diet.....but we'll see how it goes. Baby comes first, then we'll take care of me along the way ;)

Few more pics from the Hospital.....

He is HERE!!!!!!!

As I thought last Tuesday morning....something was up.....more contractions, bloody show. Kept contracting all day, and around 6;00PM they got pretty strong but still 10-12 min apart, so figured I should wait and see, because I had a scheduled induction 6:00am next morning. GUESS NOT! They just came on stronger and closer FAST! By 9;15 am, I had to head to the hospital because they were so painful that I couldn't stand up stight and 5 min apart. We had a 30 min drive and they got even worse....3 min apart when arriving. Could barely make it in the hospital doors....felt sooooo much pressure. Got checked in at 10;10 PM....the head was right there and 3cm.....the contractions kept comig fast, so in just 30-40 min I was at an 8!!! PAIN!!!! begged for the epidural dude to show up......and he finally arrived - the most LOVED MAN in the world at the time. After about 15 min it kicked in good and I could relax.....not long after my water broke with a 'pop'.....the nurse checked me, and I was a !)!!!! Oh, Boy, I couldn't belive how fat this went. I know 2nd babies comes faster, but wow. I was ready to push and the head was already visable at the first practise push......4 pushes later Chris was born with a BIG scream! He was tiny, but perfect!
So, we got an INAGURAL BABY by 2 min.....(11;58PM the 20th) .... I guess he wanted a piece of history ;)

LAST Pregnancy Photos.....

It's finally here.....(39 weeks + 3 days)....I'm in early labor and been contracting through the night with bit of bleeding. Nothing bad right now, but its getting near.

Its such an amazing feeling and process, and a bit surreal. Maddie is super excited and talking about him every day....I know she will be a GREAT big sister :)

Wish me luck and wish for an easy labor and delivery.....I'll post photos of the new addition ASAP!

Once upon a time......

..........there was a very pregnant woman. She was huuuge and a little grumpy due to lack of sleep. Hehehehe.....anyway, I'm seing the end of this tunnel now. 10 days to actual DUE date, but hopefully sooner than later. Send me some labor dust over the weekend please!! Thanks ;)

Her first "GIG" LOL

Sooooo, my good friend, Peer, thought this photo was very cool and decided to give her a "Cover Shoot"......not bad for a 3-year old ;)

Thanks, Peer.....pretty funny!

It's My Birthday!!!

Yet another year has flown by....another year wiser ;)

Just spending the day with family.

Totally felt I was in labor New Years Eve with lots of contractions, but after a few hours it tapered off :(

I'll post more later...
