Busy day

this is what Destry has been doing aaaalll day, except for when it's time to eat and change his diaper. Completely zonked. Looks like it may be a long night....

First photo shoot of many

this one made me giggle...

My sister-in-law Rachel is going to come over one of these days with her spiffy camera and we're going to take some sweet baby photos of Destry. But here are some with my less than spiffy camera. Good thing my model is so cute!!

Finally....

Destry Robert Davies has joined the family! He was right on time---April 3rd. He weighed 8Lbs 6oz at birth and is 18 1/2 inches long. And we LOVE HIM!!!

And I'm glad that my pregnancy is over. The legs seem to be pulling it back together again, although the rest of me now is quite sore....but to be expected and i'm not complaining. Just statin' the facts, jack. :)

Ok, ok...

I dug out the camera today. Rachel was right, I needed a last tummy shot before the end. So here it is. The nine month prego laura pic.

I was left to my own devices. Taking pictures of yourself is no easy task, especially when you can't move very fast and your right leg refuses to work. Really. It quit, I got the letter today: "Dear Laura, this is your right leg. I refuse to work. sorry." But good news, I figured out the timing device and even how to make it take more than one shot at a time so I didn't have to keep getting up and looking at the picture. Now it's time to have a baby.

Here we go again

I thought about taking a photo of the belly but the camera is upstairs, ready to go in my hospital bag. I'm just too lazy to go dig it out. sorry.

But an update:

Had my 40 week check-up today. Things haven't improved much. He said he could "stretch me to a four" ( <---not nice, not at all) but other than that we're just chillin'. The plan at this point is I have an appointment on Tuesday, if I make it that long we'll set up a day later next week to make this thing happen. They only will make me wait a week extra.

So I can safely say that I will have this baby by next weekend. Woo-hoo. We all decided that tomorrow would be better though, as long as its in the afternoon or later because my doctor is in surgery in the morning and my dad is coming home from NM sometime. I told my doctor I would make sure to tell the baby the schedule. We all know how well he listens to that.

I am glad to not have had him today, however. An April Fool's baby would be sad. A curse for the rest of his life. I know we still have 7 hours left but I'm pretty sure it will take longer than that...
knock on wood.

Another update

Still prego. This kid apparently decided it isn't so bad on the inside and has set up camp permanently. I've even slowed down on the contractions these past few days. It is nice to not have to be in so much pointless discomfort but now I'm beginning to wonder if this is really going to happen in THREE days. Good news, I have my last doctor's appointment tomorrow and hopefully we can get things a-movin'. Until then, I can only sit here and dream about life beyond the belly.

Just thought you'd like to know

My baby has it out for me. He tried to kill me last night, I swear.

and i'm still pregnant.
