Cole is here!!

My sweet baby boy, Cole Michael is here. He was born Dec. 26 at 7:27 pm. He weighed 9 lbs and is 21 inches long. He is precious!!! After less than a week it is hard to imagine life without him!! I will post more pics later!

Merry Christmas!!

I had contractions early this morning and went to the hospital, but they ended up slowing way down and I got sent home. So, no Christmas baby for us! I am glad I got to spend Christmas with my family, but am now ready to have this baby!!

Christmas break is here!!

I am very excited to be done with school for awhile!!! Thursday I had an interesting day. I had to run home real quick from work and ended up falling. I guess I just tripped over my own feet as I stepped up our one step into our house. It all happened so fast that it is hard to remember what I hit. I know that I fell on my side. I sat down for a little bit and then hurried back to school because I had kids coming to my room. Afterwards I was talking to a couple teachers and they said I needed to call the doctor. So after school I called the doctors office and they told me I had to come in to the OB department and get hooked up on monitors for 4 hours. Fortunately everything was fine! It was a long evening though! I started having contractions last night, but they went away after I layed down. I am starting to get more and more nervous as the day gets closer and closer... and excited too! I can't wait to see what my baby boy looks like!

Countdown

I am getting closer and closer to my due date. I would have to say this last month definitely isn't an easy one. The worst of it is my left hip. I can't even explain in words how much pain my hip causes me. It hurts when I stand, walk, lay down and just move a millimeter. It has brought me to tears on many occasions. I have tried everything I can think of to make it better, but nothing does. The doctors just say it is normal. I have made it through a week and a half of the pain so far, so I know I can make it... but its hard some days. Everyone at work comments on my limp as I walk down the hallway. I will be glad when Christmas break is here, because by the time I get home from work I am done for the rest of the night. I am fortunate that we had a snow day and a late start this week, so I could rest. Only 6 more days of work...
