Happy Mother’s Day To Me!
Today is the first Mother’s Day where I’m a mom. It’s kind of strange. Jude (actually Andy) got me a gift card to Ann Taylor so I can buy some new clothes for work. Today we will be spending time with Andy’s family. Several people have asked me what I like most about being a mom. …
What did you do today?
Before Jude came along, I would have welcomed a question from Andy about what I did all day. Now I dread that same question. I don’t like the question because I never have an answer about what I did that doesn’t make me feel like a slacker. Take today for example. Jude and I got …
Leaky Diapers
Andy and I have apparently not yet mastered the art of diapering. Andy passed Jude off to me twice today after discovering a large spot of urine on the front of his shirt where Jude was laying. And, even after soaking a diaper, Jude manages quite frequently to work up some pee to squirt out …
4 Weeks Old
Jude will be 4 weeks old on Monday. He is a good little baby. What he likes: 1. To be held. He will fall asleep in my arms (even if I’m running around the house) and then often wake up screaming if I dare to lay him down. Andy and I try every night to …
10 Days Remain
The C-section is scheduled for the morning of April 2nd. So, in no more than 10 days, Andy and I will have a baby to love and take care of. It doesn’t seem real. I am still half expecting to go into labor one of these nights and have the baby on the way to the …
Protective Mother
Even before I read the story of the woman who posed as a nurse and kidnapped a newborn baby from a Texas hospital, I had made up my mind that our baby was not going to leave the sight of me or Andy during our hospital stay. I have always been a worrier and I’m …
His Birthday
Our little guy’s birthday has been scheduled for April 2nd. However, there is a good chance that he’ll come before then. I learned yesterday that the contractions I’ve been having for the last 5 days or so have caused me to dilate to 2 cm. Another contraction woke me up at a little before 6 …
31 Days Remain
On Monday, the delivery date will be scheduled. At this point, it looks like it will by scheduled for April 2nd or the end of March. So, at the most, 31 days remain. It is terrifying. The good news is that we are all ready to roll. We’ve now either gotten or purchased everything we need for …
7 Weeks and Counting!
In about 7 weeks (or less), we’re going to have our baby. The whole thing is still unbelievable to me. I really wish I had see-through skin so that I could see the little guy and believe that he’s really in me. I thought it would sink in my head when he started moving around. …
