Welcome to the world Jordyn Lucille

Yay! It is over and she is here. I won't go into detail about the labor and delivery. There were some horrible parts and some good parts. I am just glad Jordyn is here. She is so cute and reminds me of Camryn at times. We have made it through our fist night home. Since it's been a while since I've had a newborn, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. She was quite a handful. She didn't want to sleep in her pack and play. She did sleep a little next to me in bed. I am very happy that her crying didn't wake up Camryn. When I woke up this morning it felt like I had been hit by a truck. My whole body is super sore. I am so glad the doctor prescribed me some pain medication. Let's just hope it helps. My arms are the worst. When I was in the hospital, they gave me a shot in my left arm. She warned me it would be really sore. I was hoping it would be ok by now. Let's see what the rest of the day has in store.

Coming to an end

I had my last Dr. appt yesterday. I was so happy to go because we were going to get a day set up for me to be induced. When I arrived they informed me that the Dr would be about 15 mins late. No problem. However, I arrived at 11:30 for my 11:40 appt and I was called back at 12:30. That is definitely not 15 mins. I was so annoyed by the time they got around to me. After that, my appt went a lot better. I am still at 3 1/2 centimeters, which is what I expected. She said since my due date was last Friday then I would get induced the following Friday April 3rd. Let's just hope a whole bunch of women don't go into labor on Friday and take all the beds. If that happens I have to wait longer. :( I think Erin is happy because she picked the 3rd on her baby pool and now she can buy herself a $1 lotto ticket. lol Good job Erin! I was close. I picked the 2nd. I knew from the beginning that Jordyn would be an April baby. Which I think is good. We have a lot going on in March. Too many other birthdays. April we only have 3 so far. My sister Kim's is on the 1st, my Great Aunt Sharon's is on the 2nd and my MIL Kristi's is on the 23rd. It's kind of funny that we will have 3 birthdays in a row.

After my last Dr appt, I started thinking about how my pregnancy is almost over. I started thinking about when I found out I was pregnant and couldn't wait to tell everyone. :) I waited about 10 mins before I told the first person. lol I was so lucky to be at home during this pregnancy. So much easier to get sick in your own house. I was a little more sick with this one then with Camryn, but overall I had a good pregnancy. I was so proud of myself when I found out I only gained 2 pounds over the last 9 months. I did a lot of walking this time around. Helped me keep off the pounds while I was able to eat whatever I wanted. I will miss those days. lol

This will be the last time you hear from me as a pregnant woman. Next time, I'll have some adorable pics of my new baby girl. We are all very excited to finally meet her.

When is she coming??

I would have to say that this is the hardest part of pregnancy. Waiting. I try to keep myself busy so I don't have time to wonder when I'm going to go into labor. Although, I don't have a lot to do these days. My due date is in 2 days. I have been trying to keep active to help but hard when it's raining all the time. Levi is definitely more anxious than I am. When he's at work he texts me every once in a while asking if my water has broke or if i'm having any contractions. Sadly no. Last night I was feeling a lot of pressure on my belly though. It lasted about 2 hrs. Luckily it didn't keep me up. It feels normal this morning. Everyone please have happy thoughts and wish me to go into labor soon. :)

Second baby shower

I feel very lucky. I got 2 baby showers. The second one was today. It was thrown my Denise(my MIL). She invited levi's brother(jeremy) and sister in law(megan) and his dad(Bob) and stepmom(Kristi). We had a really good dinner. Denise makes this amazing strogenoff. We also had caeser salad and rolls. Megan and Jeremy brought a beautiful cake. It's been several months since we've seen Bob and Kristi so it was so nice to have them over. Everyone was so generous with gifts. I got a breastfeeding cover, boppy cover and some bottle nipples from Bob and Kristi. I got some cute onesies and pjs from Denise and Ron and some cute clothes from Megan and Jeremy. It was a great evening with family.

New stroller

I love my new stroller. I was having the hardest time trying to decide what kind of double stroller to get. It was a hard decision. I was at Target and I saw a woman walk by with a double stroller so I followed her. I wanted to see what kind she had. She had one called the Sit N Stand Elite Double Stroller. I talked to her about it and she showed me the different setups. I fell in love with it. I knew that was the stroller for me. No way I could afford it, so luckily my family all chipped in and they bought it for me as a baby gift. :) Camryn seems to like it too. She is always climbing in it. She just can't climb out of it which I think is a good thing.

Baby shower

My mommy friends threw me a baby shower today. It was a lot of fun. Camryn had fun playing with her friends. Our group has 5 moms and including Jordyn, 8 kids. All of my friends are super generous. I got a bunch of gift cards, which is perfect. Not a whole lot i need to get but with gift cards i can go pick up something later.




While Camryn and I were gone, Levi wanted to rearrange the furniture in the livingroom. I said go ahead since I wasn't going to help him. I think it looks good. Gives us more space. It will just take a few days to get used to it.

The final days

We are in the final days of my pregnancy. I am trying to enjoy them as much as I can. Before I know it, I'll be overwhelmed having a newborn and a 2 1/2 year old. I have dr appts every week now. Last week's appt went very well. I lost 2 lbs so now I am the exact same weight I was at my first dr appt(which was at 8 weeks along). Feels good that I haven't gained weight. I know some people are nervous about that but my dr isn't. She says as long as I'm not dieting(which i'm not)then it's fine. I am progressing very nicely. I am 1 1/2 centimeters dialated. It will be interesting to find out next tues if I am any closer. A lot of people think Jordyn will be coming early. The last month is always tough because of the waiting game. The countdown begins. 21 days to go!
