Elijah's Here!

Jess and Ben have their new baby boy - weighing in at 9 pds. 11 oz. 22 inches long!!! Mommy is a little sick after the epidural and pitocin and is receiving some med's to help with that. She will be in the hospital until Sunday. Yay! Way to go!

The latest NEWS!!!

I visited the dr. yesterday and got some really positive news! The tear is almost totally re-attached to the uterus which is what I needed to hear. I still have to take it EASY but I don't have to be on complete bed rest.

The office had a brand new fancy ultrasound and I was their first patient on it. The babies are perfect, heartbeats are perfect and we know what they are! Ready to find out??? R you sitting?
It 2 BOYS!!!!! I can't believe it! Just to find out we were having 1 boy was awesome but to find out they are both boys is just magical!!!!! I was so excited I almost jumped off the table! I can't believe it! Since I went to the dr. alone yesterday, I stopped and got 2 little blue rattles and 2 little boy outfits, put them in a bag and brought them home to Peter. As soon as I got home the first thing out of his mouth was, "Did you find out what they are?" I said, "the answer is in the bag." He opened the bag and said, "2 boys??? Are you sure???" I said, "Yes!!!" He got the biggest smile from ear to ear. I was worried about having 2 more girls - especially for Peter's sake. Now our perfect little family will really be perfect!!! Yippee!!!

My friend Jessica has hopefully had her c-section! She was scheduled for today at 11:30 a.m. so if everything went as planned, she should be holding him in her arms as I type. The hospital did a growth test yesterday and they think he is 11 pounds 7 ounces - I guess we will find out later today how much he really weighs! I am so excited for her - I know she's been miserable and she can't wait to meet Eli! Another YIPPEE!!!

My friend Ilisa is coming over to hang out with me and the girls today. We're gonna get out of the house for a little bit and ride around in Davidson and Cornelius. Just something to do! It's nice that she's coming over and I really enjoy her company. She's an amazing artist and a genuinely nice person. It should be a fun day!

Off to the Doctor

Not much going on except a little staining once in awhile. I am so hopeful to get good news today! My appointment is at 12:15 p.m. so I'll post more later.

My girl, Tanya, saved me and brought me my book!!! YIPPEE!!! Love ya girl!!!

Jess is still in a holding pattern and goes in today to have a growth test done on Eli. He's gonna be HUGE and she's a little scared about having to push out a big baby. I hope he comes right out! If nothing happens over the week, she will be induced on Monday which is her original due date.

Well, keep your fingers crossed and hope for some good news today!

Not much going on

I've been more verticle the last 2 days than the early parts of the week. Still spotting sporatically. Not heavy at all but I am scared to do to much of anything. Had another bad headache today - 2 fiorcets later, it was gone.

Candace came over and is standing in for me at Sephora night. I had 22 ladies R.S.V.P. and apparently only 10 showed up. I know things come up but this is ridiculous. I've sent like 3 or 4 emails about this and I don't get why people R.S.V.P. and don't show. Maybe I should write a little blurb about R.S.V.P. etiquette in one of my upcoming emails along with Networking for Dummies.

Ava helped with dinner and she was very excited about it, eating quite a bit! Maybe we should have her help every night. She is constantly going to the bathroom and I am starting to get a little concerned. I'll have to see what happens tomorrow to decide if she might have a UTI or something. She said it doesn't hurt just that she feels like she has to go a lot.

Oh well, another weekend has come and gone and we are closer to the overall goal of having 2 healthy babies! Will post more later!
