Eddy wants to be his Daddy

Eddy has been obsessed with wearing Danny's shoes...and apparently dirty socks. He will work on walking in Danny's shoes for like 20 minutes without interruption, if they fall off he is determined to put them back on and continue his journey. Lets hope he keeps that determination.

Acupuncture

Today I had my first experience with acupuncture, and it was great. I went into the Dr.'s office and he put me in a relaxing room on a comfy table while Sarah Mclaughlin played in the background. He began placing needles in my legs and arms and finished with my feet and ribs. The needles in my feet were a bit painful but the rest I did not even know were there. I layed there for 15 minutes and then he took them out. So while I layed there, I did not notice much, I just felt relaxed...well as the day has gone on it has been amazing. I honestly have not felt this good in weeks. I have energy (and have had no caffeine today) My mind is alert and I'm not fatigued and the baby is happy too. Now, hopefully this baby will be here sooner than later (that was the real reason for my appointment) According to ancient Chinese medicine acupuncture is a great way to induce labor. Ill let you know the verdict.

Have a happy day!

This has got to make you smile...even if you're not his mom.

Where did my baby go? I just hope he doesn't EVER grow into that mouth!

Olive Update

• Dialated to a 1 (means nothing)


• Still contracting


• Had membranes stripped (you should be not jealous)


• Praying she comes before the 6th
  
• Otherwise C. Sec. will be done on the 7th (at least for now, my mind changes quickly)
• And weighing as much as I did the day Eddy was born already...SWEET!
• 

Hello Newsy's! Whats new?

• My sister Rachel had her babe, she is so beautiful and wonderful, but she also sent me into a bit of a panic attack. Reality is setting in that MY little girl will be here so soon!!! Its exciting but also scary. I am really hoping that I can do better with post-pardem this time. Wish me luck.


• I did a wedding yesterday at the Gilgal Sculpture Gardens in SLC. (you should go there if you have never been, its now a public park) It was a pagan hippie wedding and very cool. I cut my finger open with pruning scheers as I was putting the flowers on the cake...HOLY COW! You all would be so proud of me, I didn't cry or go into shock, I remained calm and wrapped it up in a napkin and floral tape. Luckily, no blood on the cake, but it was all over the ground underneath(oops)


• I have been having a lot of contractions which apparently doesn't mean much. They are so confusing because I keep thinking, "maybe she is going to come early" but that train of mind only discourages, so I am trying to just live in the now and be patient (especially since my Doc is gone for a while)
  


• Eddy is getting so big, he loves the movie Cars and he asks to watch it 10 times a day by saying "Caah?" He also loves his dad. He follows him around and wants to be with him every second. He is getting so tall, he can now open the bathroom drawer and pull out Dannys razor. Yeah, its no good, he cut his mouth up the other day, but luckily it was not very bad. He also started swimming lessons today with me. We go to a mom and tot class that is actually really fun and not really 'swimming' its more like a play date but he had tons of fun.

(notice the work gloves on Eddys hands)


• That's about it. Olive will most definitely be here by the 14th of September. Her due date is the 6th and she could even come earlier but if she doesn't the C. Sec. is scheduled for the 14th. EXCITING!
