HE'S HERE!!!

Greyson John Chambers
February 21, 2010
Born at 10:19
8 pounds 7 ounces
20.5 inches

Well, Greyson is officially 1 week old as of today. I cannot believe that 1 week ago we were meeting our little guy for the first time. Labor and delivery went wonderfully (epidurals are great!) I keep telling people that the recovery has been a whole lot worse than the delivery part. My water broke around 9:00pm, Saturday evening and we were at the hospital a little after 10:00. After the epidural, I was able to sleep most of the night- and when I woke up, the nurse was telling me it was time to push. Greyson had a "stressful delivery" because the umbelical cord was wrapped around his neck several times. So I only had the push for about 20 minutes before they had him out.

I am so glad that he is here now and safe. We have had so many 1st this week and I'm sure there will be a lot more to come. I am so in love with this little boy that every little thing he does amazes me!! We will definitely be posting more pictures soon- but for now, enjoy these!

Due any day now!

Just in case you were wondering what I look like at 39 weeks pregnant... I am SO ready to be back into skinny clothes again!! : )

That was then... (6 weeks)

This is now... (39 weeks)


How is that possible?!?!

Watermelon, Watermelon

Baby's now the size of a watermelon!
Your full-term (yay!) baby is gaining about 1/2 ounce a day and getting his first sticky poop (called meconium) ready. He's also brushing up on skills for the outside world: blinking, sucking, inhaling, exhaling, and gripping (it's getting strong!).

WOW! I ca't believe that Baby Grey could be born any day now! I am so anxious to see him- though not anxious for the birthing part. Michael and I finished Lamaz classes last week, so I feel like I am ready- but I'm sure everything I learned will go straight out the window as soon as I start feeling the pain.

My mom and Michael's mom are coming when I go into labor and then staying with us for a while after the birth. I am so excited to get to have them here- I think that's one reason I'm so anxious for Grey to be here!! For the most part we have everything ready- though I still haven't packed my hospital bags- that's one thing I tell myself every weekend that I am going to do- yet, it still hasn't happened.

As for Baby Grey- he is moving like a monster... killing my ribs! Michael and I feel little body parts bulging out of my side all the time (though I can't really tell what anything is!) I think he is ready to be out too! So my next update will probably be Greyson's arrival- can't wait to share it!!
