Contractions have been 3-4 minutes apart and painful. Hopefully the gel did the trick and this gets things going!

Dear Boy,

December 25, 2011 at 4:14 pm · Filed under Uncategorized

I figured that since I have done a pretty bad job of updating the website the least I can do is sit down for a few minutes the day before my dear son is to be born and write him a letter.

Dearest son,

I can’t believe that within 36 hours I could actually be holding you and seeing your face for the first time. 7 years ago we were blessed with your oldest sister, Grammy. She’s an amazing girl who I know you will love instantly. She already loves you so much.

I must say your other sister, Emmy, has been waiting for your since we announced she was going to be a big sister. When it’s time for Emmy’s nap she lies next to you and no doubt within 30 seconds you manage to kick her. HARD. Just a kind gesture, I know…but she thinks that you should have to go to time out.

It’s already been a long haul, my boy. I felt like after Emmy was born that our family wasn’t quite complete. I wasn’t sure I wanted to biologically have more kids but I knew some how we would add to our family.

When we decided to try “one more time” neither your mother or I thought it would work. In fact, the odds were stacked way against us. But, we agreed - one try and whatever happened - happened.

That would be where you latched on.

And hung on.

And on.

And on.

Which leads us to tomorrow.

It’s been an incredible 39 weeks. I’ve loved watching you move up and down, thump, hiccup in my belly. You already have quite the disposition, little man.

We can’t wait to meet you and welcome you into our family.

You were meant to be and we love you already.

Love,
Your mama

P.S. Please remember, head down and easy on the departure.

Labor?

December 19, 2011 at 6:57 am · Filed under Uncategorized

So I’ve been having contractions all night long. Most recently I’ve had a good handful that have kept me up for a few hours.

These seem to be the same ones that I had very early in labor when I was pregnant with Emmy. Hopefully within a few days the boy will be here. If not, I’m going to be exhausted!

Will post more as I know!
