He is beautiful

LT will be two weeks this Tuesday I am already wondering where the time goes. He has been so far a really good baby. Our biggest issues now is sleeping in the bassinet. He prefers his swing with the sound machine but after months of sleeping on the couch I prefer the bed.

I am on restrictions still and will be for up to six more weeks. I think I will be able to drive again in three weeks. But still after that I can't pick up anything that weighs more than LT for another three to five weeks.

I can tell you that you just never expect how much you instantly love someone. I was told it was going to be a rough delivery for LT, but when I didn't hear him cry after about 30 or so seconds I was asking if he was okay. Then when he finally did cry so did I and even though I had yet to see my little man I was already in love only to fall more in love with him when I did get to see his face.

Now I am off to see if we can get to bed if LT will sleep in the bassinet I can get a couple of hours sleep in my own bed.

He has arrived

LT is here. He was born on September 16th at 7:58 a.m.

The home strech

As I sit here at my computer at 2:25 a.m. not able to sleep again. I know that my time of being pregnant is coming to an end and motherhood will soon begin.

This pregnancy was a breeze until the last month or so. The not being able to sleep has been the worst of it. I still am looking forward the baby arriving and knowing the not being able to sleep will continue, it will be different.

As things stand now, we have our final doctor appointment on Thursday. We will have another ultrasound just to see fetal movement and I will again be hooked up to the monitor for a non stress test.

Unless things change at this appointment we are to be at the hospital bright and early Monday to have the baby by c-section. This child has not turned and as much as I had hoped he would I just don't see it happening with his size.

We will keep everyone posted with the facts as we know them when we know them.
