10 Days Old

It's went by so fast. I can't believe she's almost 2 weeks old...next thing I know she'll be graduating high school! :) We are SO in love with her. She's absolutely perfect in every way. I know all parents say that about their kids...but I'm pretty sure we're right ;) Hahaha.

She had another check up today. She's past her birth weight now....7 lbs 12 1/2 ounces...yay! At least that means I'm doing something right with the breastfeeding. I had my check up yesterday....and got my staples removed. It was a much easier process that what my mind had been conjuring up. Everything looked good in that department, so I follow up with her in 6 weeks.

H is doing great. He's such a great dad already....holding and snuggling her all the time....getting up with her in the middle of the night....walking around the house trying to calm her down. It's so amazing to see how we have changed as individuals as well as a couple now that she's here. It's better than it was before...even with all the chaos and lack of sleep....we're even more patient and affectionate than we were before. Life is good at the Parsons home :)

She's here!

We're still here at the hospital, but wanted to post some details about her! She was born on St. Patty's day at 5:35m. She was delivered by emergency c-section....scary but glad they did it. She weighed in at 7 lbs 11oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. She has lots of brown hair, and the cutest little face ever!!

We'll be posting pictures of her when we get home tomorrow afternoon. I'll be writing up her birth story as well :) Thanks for all the well wishes and emails...we can't wait to share her with everyone!!

40 weeks...3 days....and no baby

Well....still no baby! I'm beginning to think she really likes it in there....and doesn't want to leave! I'm to the point where we're trying home remedies....last night we tried the watermelon...no luck. Today I think we'll try and get some raspberry leaf tea....it's worth a shot. 

We have a dr. appt scheduled for next Tuesday...St. Patty's day...and if still no baby, we're going to start talking induction. I really hope it doesn't come down to that!!

39 weeks

Well...only less than a week to go till our due date....and we're finally finished with her room. 

Take a look....

I'm so happy with the way it's turned out! Now we just need her to get here already. :) Good news from my doctor's appointment this week...I'm 1 cm dilated already. Whoohoo! I know that I could stay at 1 cm for a couple weeks...but just knowing that something is going on is good enough for me :)
