Gavin Bryan is here :o) Lots of pictures!
Well I'm officially the worst blogger ever, but I will make it up with pictures!
Quick birth story: I went in for my 37 week appointment and I was still having a lot of contractions. Dr B thought he may have flipped so she sent me for an U/S. She said if he flipped I was to go home and labor there and she would see me in the morning, if he was still breech to go straight to the hospital. Well we got to Dr. K's office and I was hooked up to the monitors. I was contracting every 2 minutes, then I got the U/S...Still breech! Mr. H was in shock! We went home, he took a shower and we went to the hospital. We waited around for a few hours, and I went in to surgery at 4:30 pm. Everything went very quickly from there. They did the spinal, laid me down and put the sheet up. Mr. H came in and sat right next to my head and they started.
Gavin Bryan was born at 5:09 pm, January 29, 2010, 7.5 oz, 19.6 inches long! Not to shabby for 3 weeks early :o)
Here are all the pictures! He was only 10 days old in these :o) All the pictures were taken by Kristen from Now and Forever Photography. She is absolutely wonderful and such a sweetheart!

37 Week update from a very bad blogger
How far along? 37 weeks :o)
Total weight gain/loss: Up to 14 now. I was 16 last week but I lost 2 pounds.
Maternity clothes? All maternity all the time
Stretch marks? Yes and gross.
Sleep: Sleep is a joke. Last night I was up from 12:30 am until 7:30 am. I took a 3 hour nap and have been up since.
Best moment this week: I love seeing him move and make waves in my belly.
Movement: All the time and I love it (see above)
Food cravings: I'm back to grains. I made the mistake of eating out last weekend and boy did I pay for that. Not fun getting so sick when your so very round!
Gender: Still a little boy :o)
Labor Signs: No progress since 35 weeks. I go from being scared that he is going to make an early appearance to him not wanting to come out! Hopefully by Friday he will have made a little more progress.
What I miss: Sleeping like a normal human being
What I am looking forward to: Check up on Friday to see if any progress has been made.
Sorry I've been slacking, I've been trying to get stuff done before the little guy gets here. Everyone keeps telling me that I should just go and have the c-section. I don't want to though, one: maybe he will turn at the last minute like I did :o), and two: why should he have to be born 3 weeks early because I'm uncomfortable and don't sleep. It's not his problem and he should get all of his time in that he needs. It would be incredibly selfish if I took him out just because I want to.
I'm kinda getting annoyed with everyone asking ever.single.day.

My Beautiful Ring- Finished Pictures :o)
Well the ring is finally finished and it is even more amazing than I could have imagined. I refuse to pick it up. I am a weirdo and I don't want him to think it's o.k. to come out so I'm waiting until he is born, hahaha.
My baby shower :o)
My Friend M and I. She is due 2/15
My friend E and I. She is 18 weeks along and has a cute little bump!
Amazing cupcake tower from Pink.Box.Cake. The cupcakes were red velvet, vanilla, and chocolate, and the cake was carrot cake! YUMMY!
Another shot :o)

35 Weeks & Update
How far along? 35 weeks :o)
Total weight gain/loss: Up 2 so 13 total
Maternity clothes? All maternity all the time
Stretch marks? Yes and gross.
Sleep: Sleep stinks, but I found out that the couch is my friend. I sleep much better there.
Best moment this week: I love seeing him move and make waves in my belly.
Movement: All the time and I love it (see above)
Food cravings: I eat everything now. I think he dropped so I have a lot more room :o)
Gender: Still a little boy :o)
Labor Signs: UGH unfortunately. We had a scare last Monday. I'll talk about it more in my update.
What I miss: Sleeping like a normal human being
What I am looking forward to: Check up on Friday to make sure everything is ok.
So last Monday I had my normal check up and I had a growth U/S done, I mentioned that I wasn't feeling him as much as normal so my ob/gyn decided that since I was already going to the peri I should be hooked up to the monitoring belts. Well the u/s went great, little man was weighing in at 5.05 lbs (yay!!!) but when I got hooked up to the monitoring belts the nurse came in and then called the Peri in. I knew something was wrong when they were both looking at my print outs. I was contracting every 3-5 minutes on the dot and was immediately sent to the hospital to L&D. I got right in and was hooked up to all the belts and I had an IV put in. I was apparently dehydrated so I got two bags of fluids pumped into me, along with a shot to calm the contractions down. I got sent home on modified bed rest. I went for another check up on Friday and I was put on a stricter bed rest for at least 10 days. The good news it that I'm not dilated, the bad news is that with all these contractions I can go into labor at any time and start dilating. If this happens little man is gonna be taken out since he is still breech.
SOOOO.... as of today I have to keep him inside for at least another 7 days. If I can make it to 36 weeks my Dr is confident that he would not need to spend any time in the NICU. I go for another check up on Friday to see if I made any progress and to check to make sure things are still good.
In other news Mr. H started his new job training. He really likes it and I'm so proud of him :o)

34 weeks
How far along? 34 weeks :o)
Total weight gain/loss: As of my last appointment I was down a pound, so 11.
Maternity clothes? All maternity all the time
Stretch marks? Yes and gross.
Sleep: Sleep stinks
Best moment this week: I love seeing him move and make waves in my belly.
Movement: All the time and I love it (see above)
Food cravings: Today it was sour gummy worms.
Gender: Still a little boy :o)
Labor Signs: NO. And it can stay that way for another 5 weeks. ThankYouVeryMuch!
What I miss: Sleeping like a normal human being
What I am looking forward to: Going for a growth scan and check up on Monday 1/4/10
Lots of changes are going on. The biggest and most important one is that Mr. H got the job!!! He got hired last week and will start on the 4th! Very exciting and very nerve wracking. It's is dream job, but he took a 21K pay cut. Can you say PUKE. Another kicker...no health insurance coverage for the first 90 days. We have to get CO. BRA coverage for 3 months, on a much smaller salary. Those are the negatives. The positives are that he is really happy, and that is my number one priority. He gets a pension, no more putting money into a 401K. Health insurance is only 30 dollars a month compared to 200. We rented the house so we will be saving a lot of money on the mortgage every month. It will all work out some how, it's going to be pretty tight for the first few months though.
It's going to be hard for the first 2-3 years but totally worth it in the long run. Like I always say, nothing worth while ever comes easily. It makes us appreciate it more. A good example is our little man :o)

31 weeks & Growth Scan update
How far along? 31 weeks :o)
Total weight gain/loss: back to 12- I haven't seemed to gain anything in 3 weeks according to the Peri's electronic scale
Maternity clothes? All maternity all the time
Stretch marks? Yes and gross. They multiply quickly and they get bigger in the blink of an eye.
Sleep: Ehh, it's on and off, depends whats on my mind. I have been sleeping with my feet where my head is supposed to be. I'm sure Mr. H loves that, lol. I don't know why but it seems to help keeping me sleeping.
Best moment this week: Seeing the little guy today at his growth scan
Movement: All the time and I love it
Food cravings: Anything that doesn't make me get up in the middle of the night. Pretty much anything that tastes good makes me get sick. I'm stuck with bread products lately.
Gender: Still a little boy :o)
Labor Signs: NO. And it can stay that way for another 8 weeks. ThankYouVeryMuch!
What I miss: Sleeping like a normal human being
What I am looking forward to: Christmas, my birthday (the 28th) New years and My shower. It's going to be a very busy few weeks!
Today I had another growth scan. Little man is now measuring 33weeks 1 day. The u/s tech always asks me to guess how much he weighs before the computer says it, so I guessed 3.12 since that seemed to be his pattern for the last few weeks. Not so much this appointment...He weighs a whopping 4.04 lbs! If my calculations are correct that is a pound and a half weight gain in 3 weeks, a half a pound a week! WOWZERS
The u/s tech said that I should expect an 8 to 9 pound baby if I make it to 39 weeks. Of course there is always a chance I may go early. He is still breech, his head and feet are nice and snug in my rib cage area. I was told he can still turn, or he may not. The bigger her gets the harder it will be for him to turn, so we will see what the next few weeks brings.
I will post pictures tomorrow, I have to get them on the computer. He is getting kinda squished so the pictures aren't as clear as some of the earlier ones.
