Another Christmas has come and gone....

Well here we are in 2011. It seems like so much has changed in one year.  Last year today I found out I was pregnant, and now I have a beautiful 4 month old and a brand new house.  I can't wait to see what happens in the year to come! So many of my friends are now pregnant so Holden will be getting many new playmates, and I will be getting some new mommies to share stories with! I want to wish all of my friends and family a happy new year, and much happiness in the year to come.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas......



This past sunday Holden was baptized at our church. I was so proud of him....he didn't even cry. I was a little worried, actually a lot worried that he was going to scream throughout the entire thing.  Our families were there as well as most of our good friends. It was so nice to have so much support on such a special day.  We are so blessed!  Now I am in extreme Christmas mode. All of the shopping and wrapping is done, and now all I have to is start enjoying the festivities, and cook of course!  We have so much planned for the next two weeks I hope I can keep up!

and then there were three......

 Finally on September 9th 2010 I went into labor.  My contractions started about 8p.m. and we left for the hospital around 2:30 a.m.  We called our parents around 5 and by 6 everyone was at the hospital.  Everything was going great, and I decided to get an epidural at 8 a.m and they broke my water.  I was 6 cm dialated and the doctor came in at 11:00 and said the baby's heartrate was dropping when I had contractions so they were going to monitor him a little closer.  About 10 minutes later the doctor came back and said that I needed a C-Section and at 11:24 a.m on September 10th 2010 we finally met our little boy Holden via emergency c-section. It wasn't exactly how I had pictured it, but it was wonderful hearing him cry and seeing all a0 fingers and toes!  Since that day my life has changed so much, and I have never been happier. Our family is so full of love that it could explode!
Holden will be three months old tomorrow and I can't believe how much he has already grown.  We are looking forward to having our first Christmas together!

37 weeks.......you can come out now!

Here I am at 37 weeks and I have officially decided that I do not want to be pregnant anymore!  I want this little man out of my belly and into my arms where I can look into his face and feel his little fingers and toes!  I started reading online about all the ways that you can help induce labor since I was 1cm dialated when I went to the doctor last week.  I have been eating pineapple like a champ as well as drinking rasberry leaf tea.  There are some other ways to help along dialation that people keep telling me about, but I am not sure I am that desperate yet!
Here is a picture from my materniry session in July....

I can see the finish line........

Today I am 35 weeks and 5 days pregnant.  I am ready to get this show on the road!  I have been having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions that are starting to drive me a little crazy.  Last week I had to go to Labor and Delivery because my contractions were 10 minutes apart.  When I got to the hospital they were 5-6 minutes apart, but I wasn't dailating any so they sent me home.  I go in 3 days for a strep B test and to get checked again.  Hopefully there will be some progress and we get meet Holden very soon.  I am so excited to finally see his face.
