Oh, Baby!

Hello, faithful blog readers!! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I actually woke up Thanksgiving morning with some kind of stomach flu and spent the day home alone with my head in the toilet while Nathan & Keegan went to see family. That sounds horrible, but I actually sort of enjoyed it. Not the head-in-toilet part, but imagine a whole day...in a quiet house...and rest. I hated to miss Thanksgiving, but definitely loved the vacation day. If it took being sick to get a day of rest, then by all means! :)

Anyway, a lot of people have been asking me baby-related questions so I thought I'd get them all answered in today's blog.

Here are the frequently asked questions..........

1) "When are you due?" (please, don't add "because you look huge", or "because you look like you're about to pop", and so on) My official due date is Jan 1st but the plan now is to induce me early if my body is ready. We are looking tentatively at December 22nd, which would get me discharged from the hospital on Christmas eve.

2) "What are you having?" A baby! Ok, I realize you want to know gender. We are having a GIRL.

3) "What are you naming her?" We have a name picked out (although we're not dead-set on it and are still open to other ideas) but we are keeping it a secret!

4) "Are you craving anything?" Cinnamon & milk (white or chocolate)


Ok, so I hope that got everything covered. If I missed something, feel free to comment with addt'l questions! :)
Have a great weekend!

Sorry you were sick! Nothing worse than stomach issues when you are pregnant! Glad you got some rest though! Can't wait to meet baby Petunia when she pops out!

here's another question:

in what situations do you like using "the baby wants it ..." any funny ones?

At the hospital - LIVE UPDATES

Image
Hello, blog readers! I am blogging live from the hospital with Nathan as my guest blogger. If anyone is awake out there, you can feel free to check out my blog for updates throughout my hospital visit. I was having contractions at home so we were sent to the hospital around 10pm for observation. I was dilated to 3cm when I arrived. They made me walk two 40-minute rounds which felt like a marathon for me. I didn't have any shoes on and got to wear a super cute hospital gown though. Essentially, I'm here for false labor. But, they are afraid to send me home because of how quickly I go into labor so I'm staying to be induced. ---- This is Nathan - it's 2:11 AM. Amber just got her epidural. She's at 4 cm. Her blood pressure just dropped to 80 / 43 and we had a bit of a scare. She thought she was going to pass out and had some nausea. Feeling better now. 2:35 AM. 2:55am Working to start Pitocin (drug to speed up contractions) because the ba...

A mere, "I'm out here!" will do. Or, feel free to be creative-- just pretend you're signing my yearbook or something. I'll feel really lame if only 2 people are out there so please, everyone, respond! If you don't have a google account, you can still leave a comment. Click on "comments".

Kennedy's Corner: The BIG FIVE

Happy birthday, Kennedy!!!!      To our sweet & fun girl! She's 5 today!  She LOVES to dress up whether it's jewelry, fancy clothing, or princess stuff.   Here's her latest-- a pink fur coat and sequins skirt.   Classy! She's nurturing.  She loves playing "mommy" to her baby dolls and caring for other people.  She loves to sing ( and I mean constantly ).   She is thoughtful and compassionate and loves to pray for others.  She can be headstrong and difficult too (just like her mother) but we're working together on that!    She goes to Pre-K 5 mornings a week and loves her teacher and school.   Her favorite foods are cheese quesadillas, pepperoni, and Ritz crackers.   Her favorite show is Curious George.   She's also obsessed with dogs whether it's pretending to be one, begging us to buy one, playing with a toy one, or asking every stranger in the city if she can pet th...
