Promised Pictures

Here are the pictures I promised...

I'm Baaaaaack

I've been neglectling my blog because other things have taken precedence over everything... mainly I have been focusing my attention on MASON!! Yep, he's finally here! He made his debut at 12:14 am on Friday, September 3! At 19.5 inches long he weighed 7 lbs 6 ozs... In other words, PERFECT! :)

Sidenote: I am updating via Seth's computer because my computer is out of commission. This being said, I can only include pictures that are from my cell phone because I can't pulg my camera into this computer.

No Pictures, Just News

Went for my weekly checkup on Wednesday and got a few new tidbits of information from the doctor...
Finally, I have stopped gaining weight! When I heard that, I was very glad! Mason is taking over in the weight gaining department. All of my calories are going straight to him. With that said, he is still gaining steady at about a pound per week. He's on target to be a large-and-in-charge little boy. The doctor said that I have continued to progress with dilation and effacing. As good as that sounds, Seth and I were REALLY hoping that they would send us over to the hospital to deliver after my dr's visit. I guess that is the wish of every woman who is 9 months pregnant. Anyways, due to a few reasons, including Mason's massive size, if we have not delivered by September 9th, he will induce. SOOOO, in other words, Seth and I will be having a baby is less than 2 weeks. Whew.. it's all coming to a quick end. At least this part of things is coming to an end.

Lately

We recently celebrated Seth's 25th birthday (August 13th) by going to eat with a few close friends. We ventured over to Starkville to the Japanese Steakhouse, Umi. Very very yummy. I also created a confectionary masterpiece...

Seth's favorite, Red velvet cake with homemade cream cheese icing... DELISH!



We also went to the doctor on Wednesday for our latest checkup. At 36 weeks, I am 1.5 centimeters dilated and 50% effaced! woo hoo! very exciting news. As far as I'm concerned this means that Mason can come any day now. (yes, I know it can still be a long while before he makes his appearance, but I can still hope.) The doctor also said he believes Mason is currently weighing in at 6.5 to 7 lbs. I'm afraid we are going to have an ENORMOUS baby on our hands. He said that if labor does not occur on its own by September 9th, then we have the opportunity to induce. YAY! The end is in sight!



Some other recent happenings:

- Lauren and Caroline came for a Saturday visit! They helped me hang curtains in the nursery. HUGE help! There was no way I would have been able to do it on my own. Heaven sent, they were.

- I met my mom in Birmingham last week for a last baby-free shopping trip. We found lots of wonderful things at the shop (www.thenestingplaceinc.com) My favorite was the new line of signature candles! My house smells like fall and it has made me ready for football season and cooler weather!
