Jayden and Labor

Jayden and Labor!

Jayden is finally here and has been for 2 weeks now! It just took me forever to post it! Babies sure keep you busy and occupied. Jayden arrived on June 8th at 1:07 a.m. He was 8 lbs. 12 oz and 21 inches long! He was a pretty big boy! My labor went really well. On june 7th I went to the doctor for a check and I was still stuck at a 3 so I was pretty bummed out cause here I was at the doctor on my due date and I was still at a 3! Well the doctor must have done something cause I went into labor that night around 5 p.m. Went to the hospital and I was dialated to a 4 plus. I was so happy it wasnt a false labor! As soon as the contractions were getting a little uncomfortable I told her to get an epidural in me! ha. Epidurals are amazing! I wouldn't do it any other way. Labor was so fun for me. I prob did like 8 sets of pushes and he was out. It was the most amazing experience ever. Collin did really well. I thought he would maybe get a little sick but he was all about it! We are so grateful that he is here and that he is healthy and strong. I never knew how hard it is to take care of a baby but its soo worth it! We love this little guy to death. He came out with tons of blonde hair! All the nurses said its unusual to get a baby with blonde hair! So anytime someone sees him we know they will comment on his hair. haha. It's one of my favorite parts about him. Well here is some pictures finally! Sorry it has taken me so long to post!

1 More Week!

I can't believe the moment is almost here! My due date is actually June 7th instead of June 5th. I swear my doctor said the 5th but I asked him the other day and he said it was actually the 7th. Oh well at least it's not that big of change! I am so excited to get this baby boy out and to hold him in my arms. These last 3 weeks have seemed like eternity and I am soo ready. I have probably had my hospital bag packed and ready to go for a month! haha. Its starting to collect dust! I went to the doctor Friday and he said I was dialated to a 3 and like 80 percent effaced. I could be stuck at a 3 forever though. I have learned to not get to excited cause things could stay exactly where they are for quite a while. He stripped my membranes to hopefully help labor come along. So I could really have this baby at any time and then he could be overdo. You just don't know and I hate that! Ha. I think I have learned a ton of patience being pregnant. If I have learned anything it's to not get to excited and think you might have the baby early. I have given my hopes up a ton of times doing that! Instead I am just looking forward to my actual due date. So that is the latest with me! I will try to keep you updated as best I can!

2 More Weeks!

If you can't tell I am getting really anxious to get this baby boy out! I went to the Dr. today and with high hopes I was thinking it would be great if I was dialated to a 3 or more. Or of course the Dr. telling me he could maybe come this weekend or something. Well I am only dialated to a 2. Which is still pretty good! At least it's progressing every time I go. I am also thinned out more which is good. The Dr. said this is really good for being a 1st time mom. So I just need to be patient! I figure that Jayden will come when he is ready and I just have to wait it out. My sister came about 2 weeks early with her kids and my mom came early with us to so I was hoping I could maybe have the chance of coming early to! My sister told me today to enjoy these last 2 weeks because once they are here sometimes you want to put them back in! Haha. Isn't that the truth? I think it's hard being pregnant but once they are here and you have this little baby to care for it's going to be a lot harder. But so worth it! Of course I want him here asap but I am going to really try and enjoy these last 2 weeks. Anyways I go to the Dr. again next Friday so I will keep you updated!

3 More Weeks!

So I have 3 more weeks until my due date which is June 5th! I have to admit though that this last month is seeming to go by sooo slow! It's probably because I am crossing off every day that goes by on my calendar and pretty much counting down the hours until June 5th! Haha. I need to find a big hobby that I could do or something so time will go faster. Any ideas??? I am hoping for Jayden to come at least a week early but I kind of have a feeling that he wont! We will see though. I went to the doctor today and I am dialated to a 1 and a half and a little more thinned out then I was last time, which was 50 to 60 percent. Everything seems to be going great though! My doctor says he thinks Jayden is about 7 pounds already! If he keeps gaining that half pound that they do every week I could be in trouble! Haha. It would be crazy to have a 9 pound baby! I'm guessing he will weigh somewhere high in the 8's. We will see....Well the next time I write I might already have a baby! If not I will try to keep you updated!

Baby Shower Pics!

I finally put some pictures up of my baby shower! My friend Jen took pictures for me with her nice camera! She is the one that did my maternity pics to! Thanks Jen! I got a lot of great stuff and got to see a lot of family and friends I haven't seen in a while! Thanks to everyone!
