sleepy boys : )

my two boys ...

2 days old

my grammie and i

1 day old ... that's it?!!?

he is here!!

stewart john lemnah was born at 4:34 pm. he weighs 6 lbs 4 oz and is 19 inches long.

more to come : )

1 week (hopefully) and counting : )

so last night i was using the bathroom and when i went to flush, i looked in the toilet and said to myself - what the heck is that?!!?

so after a little research, discovered that i had lost my mucus plug!

according to the american pregnancy association website:

"passing a mucus plug is a sign that your cervix is dilating and your body is starting to prepare for birth. labor could be hours, days, or even weeks away as the cervix gradually opens over time."

come on labor! well, not now, but next week would be great : )

ultrasound at fletcher allen

today we headed off to fletcher allen for another ultrasound. our doctors requested this ultrasound because i was measuring about 4 cm larger than i should have been, and they wanted to make sure that there was not excess fluid in there.

turns out everything is fine on that front. the baby, however, is measuring above the 80th percentile for weight!! with projections, going full-term could mean about a 9lb baby ... um, NO thanks!

everything looked great with the ultrasound. the baby was playing peek-a-boo with abbie and madison, and kept putting "his" arm over "his" face, making it difficult for the technician to take a good 3d photo.

we finally were able to get a pretty decent one (which i will upload soon).

all we are asking for is a healthy baby - so far so good : )
