Getting ready for Christmas

so here's our big bundle! Aidan's only 10 weeks and looks like such a little man! we've managed to make our first visit to PA (and about to make our 2nd this weekend followed by another after xmas.) he's witnessed his first snowfall in both pa and md, sat on santa's lap (who looked like an actual santa--the hair and beard were real!), and survived living with us! not bad for a 10 week old! he's been mumbling now for about a month, i'm just waiting for the day that he actually answers me back. his mouth and tongue move so much when he wants to talk...oohs and ahhs and babbling just come out with an excited smile and laugh!

the only bad part is that i've gone back to work :( i went back after 8 weeks. i didn't miss it while i was out and i still don't. it would be great to stay home and raise our son, but it's just not possible right now. after, actually before he was born, i was thinking about moving back to pa, but now, it's constantly in the back of my mind. it's probably not in the near future...we've got to see how things go and what would happen if tim would transfer, plus with the crappy housing market, i think we'd have trouble selling the house. so we'll just keep working on it and see where life takes us...for now Aidan is 100% of my life!

After 10 weeks, here we are. it's gone by fast, but at the same time it seems so long ago. we ended up having a c-section. after being induced and 15 hours of labor, they decided to do the surgery. by then i was more than ready. aidan was 9 lbs. 8 oz. with a 15 cm. noggin'. so he wasn't gonna come out any other way!

5 more days to go and then life changes!!

there hasn't been any change since last week, so it's inevitable! If nothing happens between now and Wed. we go to the hospital wednesday night and induction begins thursday morning.

so hopefully he will arrive sometime thurs. i hope it doesn't go into friday!

3 weeks to go....officially

here are some updated sonogram pics of buddha. we're still doing well and just waiting for things to start moving along. i've started to diallate, a little, but that could be that way for weeks.

my second home....

when they say you gotta go- you gotta go! pregnancy has definitely kept me in tune with the knowledge of bathroom locations! i have become quite acqainted with the various bathrooms of the area. wherever we go, i could tell you where the closest bathrooms are! pretty much any store in the general area!!! when in doubt, that's where i'm at lately! even at work, thank goodness i sit next to the door going out to the hallway...i'm thinking about moving my desk into there! i think there are only two things i won't miss about being pregnant--having to constantly pee and not being able to breathe!! :)

Coming Soon....

Up close of my nose and lips

buddha's doing well...right now he's breech and has until the end of the month to flip the right way or else it's a c-section for mama! needless to say i'll be disappointed if this happens, but there's not much i can do. we're scheduled for another sonogram at the end of the month to check his growth and position...we shall see what happens!

Week 30--only 10 more to go!

we finally finished the room a few weeks ago! it's such a relief to have it finished...now it's time for the rest of it.

here's a pic of a gift from my aunt and cousin--they know how to dress a baby the right way! :)
