Expecting

Meet our new little man!

Baby Creations

For Christmas my mom and dad got me this!


I had to go to a double baby shower a couple of weeks ago, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try it out! Here's what I made...


Yay!

I don't know nothin' about birthin' no babies

Imagine me doing this twice...

After two failed inductions we decided to call it quits and wait and see if he'll come on his own. We gave it another go this past Monday, but the same thing happened. I was hooked up to Pitocin all day and never went into labor. Apparently this baby is not ready to be born! The hardest part is that Sam's parents arrived here Monday, my mom was planning on going to New York next Monday, and Sam was supposed to start his new job in California on Tuesday. So planning wise it's been very inconvenient, but he's healthy and I'm healthy, so we're very grateful for that.

We will let you know when this happens for real!

Baby? What baby?

Well...it's 3:00 here in Texas and still no sign of this little guy. I've been hooked up to an IV since 5:00 am, trying to get things going, but with no luck yet! So a couple more hours of this and if nothing happens we'll try again in a few days. Anyway, it's definitely disappointing; especially when they called you a "failed induction", but oh well! He'll get here eventually.

Sam's been such a trooper hanging out with me in the hospital all night and day (even if he is eating Cheetos and peanut butter M&Ms in front of me)! Hopefully there will be good news soon!

Baby Stuff

Well Sam and I figured that since the baby is only 2 months away, we should start preparing. While we haven't actually purchased anything, thanks to our AMAZING parents, we now have baby furniture! So at least he'll have a place to sleep and somewhere to keep his clothes. Isn't it beautiful? I'm so excited.

They didn't have a good pic of the dresser on the website, but this is it.

Now we just have to put it together...

Big Ultrasound

I went on Friday for the big ultrasound and it is most definitely a boy! We are so so so SO excited! Now that we've seen him, it's finally starting to sink in that there is actually a real baby in there. I also have finally been feeling him move around in there. He's a night owl already! The ultrasound technicial gave us lots of pictures so I thought I'd share.

Here's one of his face. I think it looks like he's smiling in this one.

Profile Shot

This is by far my favorite. You can't see him very well, but check out his hand!

It's a Boy!

At least that's what my pee told me. I don't have my official big ultrasound until December 7th, but my mom got me an at home gender predictor test that said it was a boy! Apparently these things are like 90% accurate. So we'll find out in a week if it worked for us!

Most people who don't update their blogs very often, don't because they're so busy and don't have time. Nope. Not for me. I have had NOTHING TO SAY. There has been NOTHING going on in our lives.

However, last week we did get to go to Texas for Thanksgiving which was great. It was nice to finally be at home again. It was the first time I'd seen Drew since he's been home from his mission, and my grandparents were also there. Thanksgiving was great. We went out to dinner at Three Forks instead of cooking and then went to see Enchanted (SO good by the way).

I promise I'll create things to write about and give more baby updates!
