Going Home Tomorrow!

We survived the C-Section:) We were at 6cm for 2 hours and the doctors didn't like how Lincoln Jagger was handling the contractions. It truly wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and since my mom had 2 of them I figured there was a pretty good chance I was headed that way! Tim's an awesome dad:) It's been a fun process and one we are excited to continue at the house. We've gotten lots of flowers and love from everyone so thank you!! We'll see you all soon! Here's some pics and videos to hold you until then!

The morning of...we didn't end up going into the hospital until 10pm that night. They were waiting for a room to open up. Our first call began at 7am that morning!

Waiting for the c-section...This is the pic from the hallway Tim took while he waited to be let into the operating room.

Lincoln Jagger Just Chillin'

One Week to Go!

We went to the doctor on Friday morning and I am 1 1/2 cent. dilated (no change there) and 60% effaced (small increase). The status is still "Lincoln can come any day). I am still not having any contractions and Link is moving a ton so who know's when he'll decide it's time to come out. If he hasn't appeared by next Friday (his due date) we'll get an ultrasound to see how he looks and then meet with another doctor.

Work is going really well and has been a good distraction. The only problem is me wanting to get everything done before Link comes and there's just no guarantee. I have been trying to leave work at work in the evenings and not bring anything home (especially now), but it's been a struggle. Our trade show is the 26th and pretty much one of the biggest parts of my job. I just want it to go well (which I'm sure it will). It'll be nice once Link comes into the world b/c then he'll be my focus and work will fall into the background!! I think it will be a good break b/c I tend to become a little workaholic-y.

On a fun side I've been working on some short stories for little Link. In going with the rockstar theme I've entitled the series: Lincoln Jagger, Rockstar. I'm thinking they might work for some first year books...simple and rhyming. They're rough cuts (especially since I really haven't been writing a ton lately), but have been fun to write and I think Lincoln will enjoy them one day!

So for now, I'm chilling with Tim and watching some football - I'll update more as things begin to happen!

Two Weeks Left!

It's hard to believe that 9 months have flown by!! I am still feeling great so fingers crossed that it continues:) I've uploaded a video of the nursery so everyone can see...Yes, that is a Metallica poster on the wall...A gift to Tim from one of my girlfriends at work to go with our rock and roll theme. She also gave us a few blow up guitars that you can't see in the video. The crib is currently being painted so I'll upload pics when we get it. Don't worry, little Link has a bassinet to sleep in until the crib arrives (and probably even after the crib arrives for a little while). My mom's friend Nan recovered our rocker as well as made the diaper bag that's in the corner. Much love to everyone!!





Okay...to many this may be boring, but for those of you eagerly anticipating the nursery I have created a nice little video...Keep in mind that it has been several years since my video editing class so it's a bit rudimentary:) Also, please keep the volume down...you really don't need to hear the play by play or the dog barking!
