Liam's Nursery

Well,,, although it's not completely finished, I thought we would go ahead and post a picture. Some people have been asking when we were going to get the nursery done and even though its not done,, it's close enough. We are just waiting on the glider that Bill's dad and Debbie got for us and when that arrives it will pretty much be done, with the exception of a little wall decor. So, that's it, Liam's stomping ground has arrived!

No comment,,,,,dog lovers will understand.

Baby Shower

Well, it came and went. What an exhausting weekend, especially for a pregnant woman. We were so lucky to have Bill's mom and Bob and Bills Grandma Mejia come. Also, Bills Dad, Debbie and Bills little brother also made the trip. We had such a great time. We got so many great gifts and thank you so very much to everyone who was there. We had 33 people at our shower! A nice crowd it turned out to be. For pics of the shower you can visit my sisters blog at www.jenandbrandonsblog.blogspot.com. Excuse the whale in all the pics,, it happens to be me! :)

It's the Final Countdown

Well,,, it hit me last night while talking to Bill that things are really coming FAST! We've got 7 weeks and 1 day to go til our due date. Our baby shower is next weekend, and we still have a ton of things to do to get ready for Liam's arrival. While Bill says he is so excited for Liam's arrival I can't help but wonder if he's a little nervous too? I did ask him and he said yes, but it was a "good" nervous. I've been around a few babies (4 actually) in my immediate family so I think my "mommy" instincts will kick in pretty naturally, that part I'm not that worried about. What I am worried about is my lack of sleep when we bring Liam home from the hospital. Im the type of person that NEEDS sleep to function properly but from what I hear I can hang that up for a good 4 weeks or so....Where there's a will, there's a way though right? I have to keep telling myself that. :)
Other than painful feet and night sweats, and a sour tummy now and then things have been going great! I still have mild contractions every day or so, but only a few. I noticed my belly dropping a bit which must mean things are getting close. Some close to us are convinced the little guy is going to make an early apperance,, we have a bet going on in my office, so far they are saying Oct. 15 and Oct. 17. Im saying about 10 days early on Oct 20th...... we will see. As long as he is healthy, I dont care when he comes as long as he doesnt come late! :) Thats is for now,,, I'll try to get an updated pic up soon, maybe when Bill comes home this weekend.
Jo, and Baby Liam

8 weeks, 2 days to go!

Well,,, Thurs. and Fri. of last week I was having more mild contractions, the Dr. sent me home from work on Fri and said off my feet for the rest of the day and to take it easy for the rest of the weekend (as if I do anything else these days,, what does he expect for me to do,, go sky diving?).
So, ofcourse Bill was in New York, but my sister was nice enough to go to my Dr. visit with me where they wanted to check things out on Ultrasound to make sure everything was okay. My sister lives with a camera glued to her hands so she was able to capture this photo. Is it just me, or does my belly look big? :) haha!
