Lucas at 1 and 2 weeks old...

Lucas is already getting sooo big! I can't believe how fast this really goes! Here are a few pix of his first 2 weeks...

Lucas is Here!!!

Our little man was finally born on October 25, 2008 at 7:41 p.m. He weighed in at 8 lbs 13 oz and was 21 inches long! I'll have to come back and write a longer post at another time, but I wanted to at least share a few pix with you...

Dr. says.....

I called the dr. and he wants me to come into the office, so I just showered and Todd's getting ready just in case he sends us to the hospital. We'll let you know what's going on as soon as we can!

Happy Friday Everyone!!!

Only Time Will Tell...

So, originally I had an appt scheduled for 9:10 this morning, but the office called yesterday and advised me that my dr. would be out of the office and asked if I would like to reschedule for Friday...I was like, um....no! So then they asked if I wanted to see the other dr., the alternate dr. at a different office this afternoon at 1:10, so I took it!

Don't get too excited tho, no change. They did two more stress tests, the first one got turned off too early accidentally by a nurse who misunderstood, so then doc examined me and did a quick ultrasound and then they hooked me up and did a second test. Everything still looks good, Lucas is in position and ready to go, but was still not dialated at all!

So, we talked about inducing vs. c-section and I stressed that I really want to try inducing first and he was like, ok, I understand....def what I needed to hear!

Unfortunately, my main doc calls the shots and he won't be available til tomorrow morning, so I have to call the office first thing in the morning to schedule the induction. I know he's going to push for Saturday, but I'm going to push right back and try for tomorrow! If this is going to possibly take a few days, then let's get the show on the road!

However...I ran a few errands after my appt and then came home cuz I was feeling hungry/nauseous/dizzy. By the time I got home I was just nauseous and started having contractions 5-8 min apart, but after 30 min they stopped. Then at 6:30 I started feeling nauseous again and started having contractions again at 6:37. After 4 of them I had to go to the bathroom and low and behold, there was a lil blood! Yay!!! Never thought I would be so excited to experience pain and see blood in the toilet (well, on the tp)!!! Sorry if this is TMI, but those of you who know me, know I don't usually hold back. :)

Well, I'll keep you all posted! Either way, Lucas will be here by the end of the weekend! Finally!

Lucas is Coming Sometime this Week...

Had NST and things went well. Also having irregular contractions so doc said it's possible I could go into labor on my own in the next day or so. Still not dialated tho, so if I am still waiting around as of Thursday I have to decide whether or not I want a c-section. Which, I don't, but doc also said that he prob is a 9lber and that it will be a tight squeeze if he does make it out, but may have to end up having section anyways. I really hope he comes on his own cuz I really don't want to make that decision...I dread not being able to hold my baby when he is born, so much, that I could cry right now thinking about it. Anyways, so we just have to continue to play the waiting game.
Pray for us!

Week 39...

For Lucas

Ok, so maybe Lucas is holding out on us cuz he was waiting for mommy to finish her last project. Here it is...a little wooden trinket block I found on clearance at Michaels...cute, isn't it? Of course I had to paint it to match his room. It only took two days and it doesn't look perfect, but that's as much patience as I have right now. Love you baby! Now just come out!
