Sydney is here!

Sydney Jade was born at 8:17 am on 11/12/2010. She weighed in at 6lbs, 7.5oz and 19 inches long. My tiny little girl is just perfect! First thing me and Sid said about her was how much she looks like Connor...who looks like Sid. Guess I'll never have kids that look like me! Sydney is a champ at eating and sleeping...I really couldn't ask for more.

I'll try to add some pics soon right now I'm blogging from my phone waiting to be discharged

Say cheese!

A couple weeks ago had the opportunity to get some maternity & family pictures done...it's been something I've always wanted to do and glad we did. Our photographer Hope was so patient and really one of the nicest people I've met in a long time. She was able to make me feel comfortable even though I wasn't. I hope we get to use her again once Sydney gets older (and I get rid of some weight and get in shape!)

38 weeks...

and I'm sick! I don't mean sick as in sick and tired of being pregnant (OK I am that) but I mean sick...like can't breath, snotty nose, head feels like it is going to explode sick. Really not fair! Everything I thought I would get done this week has not got done because I've basically been sitting on my ass trying to will myself to feel better. Connor had a snotty nose for 1 day and then was fine...again not fair! Alright I'm done complaining ...and at least I got sick before Sydney came because that would be even worse!

OK here's an update on what is going on...

Week: 38
Next Dr. appointment: Thursday
Delivery date: Friday
How I'm feeling: Ready to be done :)I also feel really huge and that my belly has got really big lately. I thought it looked as if I dropped but my Mom said it still looked like she was high. Not that it matters we know she's coming! Hip pain, back pain (so bad one night I almost woke Sid up to take me to the hospital...I was sure it was back labor! lol), emotional...everything & nothing makes me cry.
Weight gain: 16lbs (gained a pound this week)
Sleep: Not really getting any. It is practically impossible to roll over
Things to get done: car seat in the car, wash clothes & bedding, set up bed in our room, bring swing down stairs, trip to babies r us, get my hair done, pedicure and a waxing...a girl has to look good when she meet's her baby girl! :)

Trick or Treat!?!?!

First off I just have to say Halloween + A toddler = FUN FUN FUN! To think I just about called off going TOT at all...Not only am I 37 weeks pregnant but I also have a head cold. Craptastic! But it's not about me it's about my boy and I wanted to make sure he had a good time. A good time he had too. We happened to get so lucky finding his costume at the last minute. Actually Sid found it just laying on an end cap at Target and once he saw it he knew was it. We took Connor down to Kent Station to TOT at all the stores and I'm not kidding you everyone commented on the my little Dinosaur.
