I am just soaking up every delicious moment. They more than make up for all the other, um, not-so-blissful aspects of having a newborn around.

So, my friends. Once again, I’ll compile a list of random news and notes. That oughta do.

The six week mark

September 16, 2010 by Shannon  |  4 Comments

Phew. We’ve hit the six week mark. I feel like I should win some sort of prize or something.

Life hasn’t been too rough, actually. Certainly there are times that I want to crawl in the closet, pound a few glasses of wine and pass out from sheer exhaustion, all at the same time…

Pictures! Finally!

I have about three blog posts started, but I’ve been interrupted countless times while working on them. So they’re still in draft form. Honestly, it’s amazing I’ve been able to upload pictures, considering that takes three times as long as writing something…

Oh baby! Slow goin' at the hospital

Oh baby! Tuesday is the big day

I figured it would come down to this – looks like I’ll be having another induction. When the doctor induced my labor with Kellan, it took 22 hours from the start of the Pitocin drip to the time I finally gave birth…

I’ve spent the last several days hoping for some progress on the baby front. I got checked on Wednesday, and started to show signs of early labor within a couple hours! Yay! Right?

Oh baby! Preparing the nursery

It’s no small undertaking to move while pregnant. You know how normally your nesting instinct goes into overdrive? You start to clean out the linen closet and reorganize the pantry, in addition to washing loads of little baby clothes? While my instincts were telling me to do all that, I did the opposite.

Oh baby! The latest progress report…

Oh baby! The latest progress report...

Prior to this week’s OB appointment, I’d had a few painful contractions. I’ve been feeling more pressure. In short, I’ve been feeling that there’s just GOT to be some progress on the baby front.

Everyone tells me my life is about to change dramatically. That two children don’t just double your workload – they triple or quadruple it. I wonder if I’m prepared.
