Welcome Baby Thomas!

I just wanted to let everyone know that little Baby Thomas finally made his entrance into the world after being 1 week late. My doctor induced me because of low fluid levels, but after 22 long hours of labor, we found out he was just not going to come the “traditional” way and I ended up having a C-section. 

I am resting up now and am quite sore from the surgery, but my mother is here taking care of me and helping me out, and then next week my husband will be taking some time off of work to help. Will and I are so happy.  Our little baby is so incredibly cute and he is such a good baby too. I never knew I could love someone so much that I just met.

I just wanted to post a few pictures and let you all know that he is here! He has strawberry blonde hair (red) like me, and bright blue eyes like his Daddy.

The End is in Sight

yes I’m still around and yes I’m still pregnant.

*sigh*

Only about 5 and 1/2 more weeks until my duedate….I am literally counting down the days.   I am so huge and uncomfortable.  Now I know why pregnancy is so awful those last few weeks…to make it so women actually look forward to going into labor!

I figure if I keep concentrating on a date that is about 2 weeks earlier than my actual duedate that somehow my thoughts will trickle down to the little resident tenant in my belly and he’ll take the hint. (that would mean only about 3 and 1/2 more weeks away)

And yep – I put this pic up on my profile so that I can sit there and look at it and reminisce of how flat my stomach used to be. LOL

Just a short list of things I’m excited about -

- Looking forward to touching my toes again

- Being able to bend over and pick things up without grunting in pain

- Being able to do a long list of things to do – and all in one day.  Today I had about 10 items, got about 2 of them done and felt it was the accomplishment of the century.  Not to mention it took me ALL day to do those 2 things.  And my back is killing me

- Being able to sleep in my tummy again

- Eat RAW cookie dough (yummmm)

- Not have people constantly asking me when I’m due, how I’m feeling, if they can touch my belly, feel the baby kick, if I’ve got the nursery set up yet and soooo many other questions I’m so tired of answering LOL

Most of all I’m just excited to not feel like complete and utter poo anymore!

So there you have it. An update about me.  Anyone feel like coming over to massage my feet, give me a back rub and clean my house for me I will love you forever and dedicate my next song to you.

Cheers!
