Birth Story Part 2

You can find part one of this story here. Well now that Piper is 5 months old, maybe I can bring myself to write this.  For the first few months I couldn’t bring myself to write this part because I didn’t want to relive it.  My baby is perfect and healthy and I hate that [...]

Birth Story part 1

I realize that over month has passed…but we have been busy around here.  I have been slowly working on this post, typing here and there when Piper lets me put her down.  We don’t get much of that!  Let’s hope I was able to remember everything now! Monday (April 27th) I was feeling pretty good.  [...]

Baby Piper

We finally had our baby girl…Piper Grace on April 28th at 1:55 am.  She weighed 8lbs. 13oz. and was 22 1/4 inches long!  This is just a quick update to let everyone know that we had her.  I will post her birth story and some pictures very soon.  As soon as she lets me get [...]

Today is Pipers due date.  She is still not here.  I thought I was going to go into labor Sunday morning but here I am…  I was having my first strong, painful contractions.  Others till then had mostly just hurt my back.  I was up for a few hours because I was so uncomfortable but [...]

Wow!  On one hand I can’t believe the end is here on the other I feel like I have been pregnant forever!  I find myself having mixed feelings as the end draws near.  I am so excited to see Piper and hold her I can’t stand it.  But I will miss some aspects of being [...]

38 Weeks

We finally have the internet up and running again!  We are still waiting for the baby so no one missed anything! I have been feeling pretty good.  Just tired and a bit out of breath.  I have been sleeping terrible, I can’t wait until I can sleep on my stomach again!  Or just roll over [...]

I thought I should check in.  Our internet is down right now and I didn’t want anyone thinking I was having the baby yet.  I will be sure to post on here as soon as I can or Blake can that we had her!  I haven’t been having any contractions so I don’t really feel [...]

Birth Class

Last night we attended birth class!  It was really helpful.  I did have to deal with Blake wanting to crack jokes before class got started but he finally behaved and I think he actually enjoyed it.  We learned all sorts of great positions I can labor in to help relax and ways Blake can massage [...]

36 weeks

Now with just a month or less I am getting eager!  I am really hoping to go early.  Only because the past week has taken a toll on my back!  She dropped last Tuesday when I was having some contractions and now she must be putting lots of pressure on my spine. If you compare [...]

35 weeks

Last night was so terrible.  I started having contractions around 3 or 4 pm yesterday.  This was the first time that I felt them in my back.  They were coming often but not getting any stronger and would go away when I moved.  As long as I stayed off my feet they weren’t too terrible.  [...]
