merry christmas!

From our family to yours, have a very Merry Christmas!

6 weeks

Just dropping by to post a picture of Stone at 6 weeks! Hope you all are doing well!

Stone has arrived!

STONE IS HERE!!! He arrived October 22, 2009...exactly on his due date! Stone is just like his mommy...organized and punctional :) I had planned this whole pregnancy to have him with an epidural...when I arrived at the hospital, they told me that due to medical reasons, I could not have an epidural or push, so I ended up having a c-section after being 7 cm dialated and in labor with no drugs! What a great blessing it all ended up being...he had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck TWICE.

Being a mommy has been such an incredible experience so far. Stone is almost 2 weeks old now, and he is on a eat/wake/sleep schedule every three hours, and has even slept 5 hours through the night so far! He is extremely calm, curious, and has a super strong neck. We love him so much!

39 weeks and 4 days...

For the enquiring minds, Baby Stone has still not arrived. Only 3 more days until my DUE DATE!!! I was hoping Stone would want to join us ASAP but apparently the cool fall days and frost-bitten evenings make him want to jump into my rib cage and stay as warm as possible :)

My husband took me on a wonderful date night this weekend, which is exactly what a 9 month pregnant woman needs. He took me to a local pottery painting place and we each decorated a HUGE coffee mug (like the ones in the coffee shop on Friends!) and then out to dinner to settle my chinese food cravings!

Hopefully the next time I post, you will be able to meet precious Stone...I had better not be labeling my next post "41 weeks and counting..." :)

Stone's Nursery

Here are a few pictures of Stone's nursery! Clearly it is not 100% finished...the glider is still in need of the new cushions (coming soon), the bookcase and the changing table are not completely organzied yet, and the stuffed animals are camping out on the table until I can figure out where to put them! But overall, its coming together nicely! I'm at 37 weeks, so Stone could be arriving anytime now!
