It's time! :)

Well, tonight is the night! I will be checking in the hospital at 10pm to be induced. As of Monday I had no real major changes to report, Dr. Atkins doesn't want to keep Landon in there much longer because my low fluid issues can cause my uterus to become infected and then be transferred to the baby. I will be given two pills when I arrive to "ripen my cervix," and I am supposedly going to be able to sleep through the night. (Yeah, right!) They will start the Pitocin to induce labor early in the morning and we are expecting Landon to be here sometime in the afternoon...give or take a few hours.

I am super nervous! Brian has really been the best husband anyone could ever ask for during the last 9 months and if you could see the excitement in his face it would melt your heart! I hope the moment is as great as everyone keeps telling me it will be...keep us in your thoughts and prayers, and I will update you ASAP! :)

Baby Shower



I FINALLY got my baby shower pictures onto my computer! The shower was more than I could have asked for, and Landon now has everything he could ever need...thank-you to everyone who was able to come! I spent so much time opening gifts I didn't get to visit much with everyone...but we are very thankful, and now it seems even more real than it did before. The only thing we have left is his arrival...YIKES! Here is a video of the shower courtesy of Nel & Weldon! Love ya'll! :)

Getting Close!

We had our weekly appointment on Monday 06-02-08, and things are GREAT! Landon FINALLY turned head-down and I am 1 cm dilated! Dr. Atkins says he's a good size, but not too big and there seems to be plenty of fluid, so we are just going to let nature take its course. They told us to have our bags packed and ready, and well...today is Friday, and I just can't seem to get the energy to do it! EXHAUSTED! Lack of sleep would be a contributing factor, but my whole body is swollen (especially my ankles)! I take my socks off when I get home from work, and the sock line is still very prominent when I wake up the next morning. I gave Brian the soft bed after his shoulder surgery, but now that he is doing better I may have to take the soft bed back. We don't fit in the same bed anymore...lol..so we pulled two queen beds together.

OH...and we FINALLY found a house!!! We will be closing on September 12th and moving in the next day. Landon will be 2 1/2 months old and I should still be off of work (I hope).
