Yesterday was one of the longest days of our lives, but at 10:21 pm we welcomed Reilly to the world! He was 7lbs 8oz and 20.5in long. We're doing great, just trying to get some sleep when we can and get the whole feeding thing down!!!
Here is one last shot from this morning, we are in the hospital ready to go. I am all hooked up to everything and good to go, having a few contractions but no pain yet, thank goodness.
I cant believe I am putting this picture up but everyone says I am going to want to see it when I am done. Which evidently is going to be sooner than we thought. We went to the Dr. on Thursday and she said we can go ahead and induce next week because the baby is already at a negative one (you all probably know more about that than I do!). So...we are going in on Wednesday and if everything goes as planned the munchkin will be here Thursday or Friday. Thank goodness, everyone said the last month is the worst...they were right! It has been really hot here this week so I am sure that isn't helping the situation. Everything seems to be ready so now I guess it is just a waiting game.
Things are pretty much non-eventful around here. I realize it is the calm before the storm so I am trying to enjoy it as much as possible. I have been going to my weekly visits with the Dr. and things seem to be moving along well. I go see her again this afternoon but I am not expecting too much to be changed from last week. My Dr. did ask who was to blame for the rather large head the baby has, I went ahead and assumed it was Billy, my mom informed me later that it was Ted's fault, thanks dad! If nothing happens sooner I will be induced on the 9th...I promised Kelsey I would never forget her birthday again if that happens!! I will keep everyone posted, I hope all is well!
We had a great Memorial Day weekend, Brady and Margaret came to town for some relaxation. We had so much fun just hanging out in the pool and enjoying eachother's company. Billy decided that we needed a chipping mat and floating green for my parents pool, it entertained us all weekend!For some reason Billy thought it would be a good idea to throw Ted up on his shoulders...good thing it was Ted and not me...I might have broken his back!!
OK, here it is!! Here is the latest version of my belly...growing by the minute! This is as good of a picture of the baby's room that we could get, there is still some work to be done but it is coming together nicely...as you can see Mindy has had a hard time letting go of it as her room!!
We had our first of a few baby showers last weekend here. I am usually not a huge shower fan...especially having mulitple ones but the coaches and thier wives from the school Billy coaches at wanted to have a couples brunch for us. It was SO much fun, great food and great friends. They had the best cake made for us...pardon my right arm...it is gigantic. I swear pictures make me look swollen :) Things are going well here, it has been and will continue to be 100 degrees so I am trying to stay inside, or in the pool as much as possible. I guess we can say the countdown is officially on...8 weeks to go. My Dr. will be going out of town on July 11th so we will have the little guy for sure by the 10th. I will update a belly picture as soon as I can :)
