in labor?????

So Jon and i just finished our breast feeding class and our birthing class and Jon was joking around with the teacher (who is a nurse at the hospital) saying the baby will probably come on Tuesday (because of the snow storm) and the nurse said oh no not Tuesday we have a lot of women being induced on that day (1/11/11) SERIOUSLY!!!! So of coarse on 1/10/11 around 10:30 i started tracking my contractions cuz they were really close together 2-4 min apart for about 2 hours this went on......so i decided to go to bed and see what happened.......well, jon couldn't sleep (cuz he was super excited:)) and he decided to call first nurse and of coarse she said to go to the hospital. We were there in the small room (cuz all the rooms were full) and they had me walk for a couple of hours and hooked me up to a monitor to track the contractions and the baby.......and we tried to sleep (maybe a few hours) and they checked me 3 times to see if i dilated any more.......i did just a little, but since my due date isn't till the 23 they decided to send me home........I felt pretty stupid.....but before we left i asked my Ob what should we have done and she said we did exactly as we were suppose to do since my contractions stayed that way until the next morning (i kinda felt like i was making it up)......she said she would have told me the same thing as the first nurse cuz you can't check your cervix over the phone :)

So we are suppose to go in on friday if we still haven't had him.........

Another note if i don't have him till Jan 23 he will be 9LB!!!! when they did the ultra sound, Jon asked how big his foot was cuz his hands and feet looked huge.....she measured his foot to be 3 inches!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jon says hes just going to walk right out of the womb.....i hope not :)

plan/ not to plan

If you don't already know this by now but I'm a planner and i like things to be done in advance my way :) !!! Well as you also may know that baby's change that......There are a few things that I'm very thankful for before this baby boy comes......

1.) I'm thankful for friends who have been through this before and can share their knowledge and what they will do or wont do again!!!!

2.) all my friends and family who have blessed us with A LOT of our baby needs!!! You guys are WAY to generous!!!

3.) cloth diapers we are very excited that we decided this before we had baby boy because a lot of stuff has come up financially and we were able to register for cloth diapers and also purchase them before more financial burdens came up! It really puts my heart at ease knowing that we are saving money and not adding money needs to my maternity leave since i don't get paid for it!

4.) my Chiropractor has shared some amazing things i never would have thought of during my pregnancy especially what is to come with labor.

5.) breastfeeding, i pray that i will be able to breastfeed....besides the fact that formula is so expensive it will also help me and the baby in so many ways

6.) part time work, I'm thankful that i will be able to be with our baby boy and be able to work still and help get rid of more of our debt....but also do what i love (hair) :) and feel like i'm not missing out on our sons growing up!

7.) an amazing husband who supports me with everything....breastfeeding, cloth diapers, natural labor, part time work, taking on financial burdens, and doesn't complain when i make lists that i want done before the baby is born!

8.) wanting to have natural birth (i understand complications happens and when that time comes we will deal with it then) but I feel that natural will be the best for me and baby.....so pray that i will be able to handle it! (thank you Jon and friends for supporting this and keeping me positive:))

9.) for beautiful safe crib (my dad made), nursery being done, safe warm home

10.) lots and lots of love from friends and family who are excited for our baby boy Weber and for spoiling him before his even born!!

keep us in your prayers please!!!! Especially since everyone says this is going to be a strain on our marriage after the baby is born and changes our routine a lot!!! pray pray pray!
