Oliver Bradford George

Our little man has finally come. He was due Sunday April 15th and he came to us at 6:32 pm on Monday April 16th. It was actually a shock to us because we thought he'd be a week late or more!
I was so worried I would not know when I was having real contractions but like they say "you just know" I knew. I called my cnm and went over to see her around 10:15 and was dilated to a 4 and completely effaced, she said you are in labor you can head to the hospital and gave me a high 5. I headed to the lobby where Darin was sitting and i said let's go, then I smiled and said we gotta head to the hospital! He was excited to say the least.
We headed home packed our bags and went to whole foods for an after labor snack.
When we got here I rode out labor and wasn't checked again until around 2 by then I was at a 6 and they steadily progressed over the next little while, it wasn't till I was about a 7-8 that it started getting hard.. There were some intense moments and a lot of help from my love, but we did it and at 6:32 our almost 9 pounder was born.
He is so gorgeous and special, we could not be happier and feel incredibly blessed to be guardians of such a sweet spirit.
We love u Ollie!

"due date"

Today is Oliver's guess date of arrival... But I don't really see that happening today. Hopefully sometime this week though. I'm getting a little antsy for this big boy to get here!

40 weeks and counting...

4 years

I guess I could have combined my progress post with this one, but then darin wouldn't get his own special little shout out!
Today is our 4 year wedding anniversary... 4 years! What an amazing journey it's been so far. So many things have happened in four years and yet it has flown by so quickly,it seems like just the other day we were getting married in Washington DC.
I am so grateful for such a loving husband and excited soon to be daddy. Oliver and I are so lucky.
I love you babe, can't wait for another 4 years to come and go with you.

Progress report

39th week and we are playing the waiting game.
Had our doctors appointment today and not too many developments since my 35 week check ( the last time they did a vaginal exam, blahhh) I'm a little effaced and only a centimeter dilated. Talk about depressing, that's why I hate those exams!
We still think he's Gunna be a late comer. But we are ready when he is!
40 weeks on Sunday.
