Seems like I will be doing the posting around here for a little while so if you are so inclined, come over to my place Chronicles of an Exhausted Mom. Get to know me a little better. I am way cool...or so my son's friends keep telling me.

Let's play a little guessing game shall we?

Which picture is which? Fred Flintstones or Val's?





I know, it is hard to tell. She has high blood pressure from something, we just don't know what. How about another picture of the baby?



Everyone say awwwwwwwww

Look what I made!!!

Posted by Val's Sister Zephra


Val's best friend Susan called this morning to let me know that Jayden had been born at 8:11 am. He weighs 7 pounds 11 ounces and is healthy and beautiful. My Sister is doing well and I know she would be so happy to see her comment section crazy crowded so come on people and say a welcome to Jayden.

I was just sent a picture of him. He is so cute and I think looks like Terrell.



I also got a picture of the beautiful, proud, Mommy: Please remember she just gave birth and has no makeup on...and has not been able to shave either.














I am so proud of you Sis and i love you.

It's J day!

Well as you can tell from the time on this post I can't sleep anymore. Damn half an ambien didn't do it for me sis. I am a bit nervous you know with the whole cutting me open part but other than that I am calm. I can't believe in a few short hours I am going to be a Mom again. Crazy stuff I tell ya. Wish I had a laptop to bring to the hospital with me, what will I do without the internet for 4 days? I will be home on Tuesday and I promise to update with pictures then. My sis will be on later will stats and such. WOOHOO I am having a baby!

Last Dr. Appointment

OK so today was my final appointment with Dr. D. All is good as usual. I have gained 20 pounds this pregnancy. The least I have ever gained while pregnant. Jayden is measuring at 40 weeks, heartbeat was around 150. Blood pressure normal. He did check me just in case and I am STILL 1cm. So everything is all set for Friday morning. My sister will post to the blog sometime Friday to let you all know what is going on but no pictures until I get home Tuesday. I am sure I will be blogging before I go but just in case I don't I want to thank you all for the awesome support you have given me through this journey.

Fun

Our Weekend

This weekend was nice and relaxing. On Saturday we really just hung out at home. We did take on trip into the outside world to Stop and Shop. I decided I really wanted Tony to make homemade pizzas. Well what should have been a quick $20 trip turned into a $50 trip. Why is that always the way?
On Sunday we got up early and I suggested we take T over to the big park so he could ride his bike. It was beautiful out and we stayed for about 1½ hours before my bladder demanded we come home. After that Tony went out for a bit and T and I spent some Mommy and me time together. We went to the park across the street and walked around and looked at flowers. It was really nice. I am trying to spend extra time with him right now because I know his whole world is going to change this week. I have been telling him over and over even after brother comes he is still my special little guy and if he needs a hug or a cuddle all he has to do is ask. I am hoping it will sink in for him. I think it is working a bit because at 2am he needed a mommy cuddle. I offered to go in his bed and let him cuddle daddy but he said no he needed me! So cute sometimes I swear.
Today we are off to his school for class picture day. I am hoping this goes quick because honestly his school is the last place I feel like going today.
I have a question for all you Mom's out there. Thursday we have school however it is the day before brother will be here. Do you think I should keep him out of school and do something special with him or just have a special dinner after school? I want our last night as a family of 3 to be special for him and me. Oh god pregnancy hormones are here, I am tearing up just typing this. 4 days to go!

FYI

I am still pregnant and starting to think I will make it until my section next Friday. I have tried the sex, nipple stimulation and walking. Not working but oh well. My back hurts like there are a million little men stabbing me with knifes. I sleep about 90 minutes at a time before I need to pee and the heartburn is killer. This boy better have hair! On the plus side though I am having a baby sometime in the next 6 days!!!!

37.4 week appointment

Well I gained 1 pound. So I think I am back to 19 pounds total? Jayden's heart rate was around 150 as usual, I am measuring 40 weeks. Still only 1 cm dilated and effaced 60%. No signs that this baby wants to come out any time soon. So looks like I will be pregnant for at least another week. I got to ask all my 1000 questions that I never got to ask with Terrell and I am at easy. I wish he was coming sooner but hey I can do 9 more days right? NST on Friday and another on Tuesday as well as my pre admission testing then doctor on Wednesday and baby on Friday. Unless of course he wants to come sooner which would be fine with me.
