He's here!!!

Colton has arrived! Here are a few photos from the hospital.

He weighed 7lb 1oz, and was 19 inches long. He also has a full head of spiky blonde hair.

Chaz and I are completely in love with him.

Sunday night at the hospital

Welcome to the world Colton!

Proud Dad

1st Family Photo, still a little out of it. 

3 more days!!!!

I can't believe the time has come. These past few weeks have flown by and I feel more ready then ever for his arrival!
Everything is washed and put away, diaper caddy's are placed around the house, all of the toys are put together and wiped down, batteries are in all of the noisy toys and his bassinet is put together and on my side of the bed waiting for him.
I had my last and final doctors appointment this morning, he is still nice and snuggled up with my ribs but he is head down, still very active and I am dilated to a 2. Thankfully my amazing doctor is on call this weekend so if Booger decides to grace us with his presence I have piece of mind knowing she would be there for the delivery.
If all goes as planned Chaz and I will be checking into the hospital on Sunday evening and Boog will be here Monday. We can't wait, I will be sure to keep everyone posted!

Gotta love the general public!!!

Who knew this belly I have would be such a conversation starter. I have received the most random comments from people just being out and about.
First and foremost everyone is determined that I am having a girl, I guess because I am carrying high and he hasn't dropped. Some people are so adamant about it that I wish I carried around the pictures of his manly parts to whip out and show them just to shut them up.
Last week I was picking up Chaz's dry cleaning and the guy came out to get my card and said "are you having twins" I kindly replied "no just one", he came back with, "wow I'm shocked because your huge".... who says that and how in the world do you respond?
Another classic moment happened this past Saturday, I was standing in the return line and Ross and a lady came up to me and said... (insert ghetto voice here) "Girl when you having that baby girl" I replied in about a week and it's a boy. She said "They's gonna have to cut him out of you cause you ain't got no hips"At this point all I could do was laugh and say thanks!

Counting down the days.

According to my handy "What to expect when your expecting" app on my phone I have been pregnant for 269 days. I recommend this app for anyone that gets pregnant, it has been very helpful and extremely accurate when telling me about symptoms I should or will soon be experiencing. It also gives you a weekly update on the changes your body will be experiencing and on the growth of your baby. Plus it beats the heck out of reading a 400 page book that sometimes gives you too many details.

I went to the doctor yesterday and for the 1st time I felt sorry for Booger. During my sonogram as she was checking everything she scanned his head and I had a perfect shot of his face. He was looking straight up, so I felt like he was looking at me saying "help". The poor guy looked so squished, if he only knew that he is more then welcome to join his dad and I at home when ever he pleases, both of us would be much more comfortable.

Maternity Pictures

I wasn't planning on taking any maternity pictures because I didn't think I would want to display them or look back on any pictures of my big belly. The closer it got the more I wanted to take them. I looked on Facebook and saw that one of my sorority sisters was just starting out at photography. I contacted her and we were able to set up a time on Sunday so Chaz could be in the pictures. He was such a trooper, it was late in the evening but almost 90 outside.
I am so happy with the way the pictures came out. Thank you Kari! Hope you like the photos.

This is my favorite, you can't see my belly but I love it of Chaz and I.

Colton's kicks from Gram

I feel like such a mom already....

Who would have ever thought that I would have a blog??? Not me. I never really had anything that exciting to write about or brag about, but life, it is a changing.  2 weeks from today, if not earlier, Chaz and I will be on our way to Presby Plano to turn our family of 2 into 3.

I have so many mixed emotions.

I couldn't be more excited to see my little boy's face. I cannot wait to hold him. The question of the month is what is he going to look like? I lay awake at night, because I no longer sleep, thinking about it. As far as we are concerned he is healthy, we have counted 10 fingers, 10 toes, all of his organs are developed and functioning normally and he has his manly parts.

I am scared that something might go wrong, about the change we are about to experience in our everyday lives and that he might be colic.

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers over the next few weeks and I will keep you updated on Colton!
