37 weeks 3 days

Today is the day baby boy! We have been waiting for what seems to be forever! I had a doctors appointment at 8:30! My mom took me to see another ultrasound, stress test, and to see my blood pressure! My blood pressure was way to high so Dr. Ottman decided it was time to meet you! We went over to the hospital and I called daddy on the way! He was at work! He rushed over! Everything happened so fast at the hospital because my blood platelets were 70. Dr. Ottman came right over for any Emergency C-section! I had to be put on Magnesium Sulfate which made me very sick! Off to delivery we went! I had to be put to sleep so Daddy, Poppy Chris, Grandma Cathy, and Meme all waited in the room for your delivery. I was wheeled into the delivery room and was sort of nervous! Everything went smoothly and I got to meet you soon after you were born! I was still very sick from the mag. sulfate so it's hard for me to remember a lot from that day! I remember you though! The most beautiful, amazing thing I have ever seen! You were a perfect little man! Everything Mommy and Daddy dreamed of! 7 pounds 10 ounces and 19 1/2 inches, we did it buddy! I LOVE YOU and you sure have met every expectation I have ever dreamed of!

Week 35-36

These two weeks were the toughest of them all Ty! Mommy had to be put on bedrest because of pre-eclampsia. My blood pressure was high and I am so swollen. It was the hardest thing for me to do because I am not much on laying around! Grandma Cathy had to take me to the doctor every other day! Tons of lab work and 24 hour urines. I was so sick of the doctor. I am so ready to meet you!

Week 33-35

What a couple of weekends we have had! Sept. 19th Billygoat, Amanda, Debbie, and Tessa through a huge shower and Sept. 26th Destiny, Cassie, Rebecca, and Jennifer through us a work shower!!! They were so much fun! Everyone came and got you tons of stuff! We sure are supported and loved by so many people! Not to much longer until you will be here! I have been really swollen in my legs, feet, face, and hands! We put the car seat in the car just in case you come early! Also Daddy put your stroller and swing together and Mommy put your bouncer together!!! Daddy is a little more patient than Mommy when it comes to stuff like that!!!! Your Daddy is getting really excited to meet you, he already has your first little football that was his when he was younger!!!! Well we love you buddy, see you soon! ;)

Week 27

Hey Ty! We sure had a tough week! Monday I went to the doctor because all weekend I wasn't feeling well! We ended up spending two nights in the hospital. I was so scared, we had xrays and ultrasounds. They weren't for sure if I had a kidney stone or if you were laying on my ureter causing me a kidney infection? They think you are just getting so big that you have no where to lay so you are laying on my ureter. Your daddy, Meme, Poppy, Billygoat, and Aunties came to visits lots! We had plenty of phone calls and tons of prayers. We are doing pretty great now so I hope it continues! I just have to make sure I lay on my left side which is a hard task for your Momma! We only have two more months little buddy! I can't wait to meet you!!! I bet you will be the most beautiful little man I have ever seen!!! Oh yeah you are moving like Crazy!! Daddy and I just lay and watch you move in my belly! Oh the best, is one night Daddy came to give you a kiss and you kicked him right when he did! It was so funny! Mommy and Daddy loves you so so much!

Week 24

Hey my little man! Your Daddy and I sure have been busy! Forth of July weekend we painted your room! I will put pics up when ever I take them! So we can remember it when you get older! We had a good time doing it! Your dad was so proud! I have been in there moving your clothes around a million times! I have been rocking in our chair and just thinking about what our life will be like, I also wonder what you will look like? I bet you'll look like daddy! I am not sure what I would look like as a boy, maybe just like Uncle Tyler!?! Who knows, we will find out soon enough! I am having fun just thinking about it! You make me Smile!
Oh and the most exciting news! I went to visit Meme and boy did you show off in front of her! You kicked and she felt it! I already know you have her wrapped around your little finger!!! She is so special I know you will love her so much! She will spoil you rotten too! Then when I got home your Daddy got to feel you kick! He was excited!!! Amanda our neighbor did too! Oh and Laura did! It was cute, she just giggled and her face turned red! You are being really active! It's such an awesome feeling! I love knowing your in there just moving and flipping!!! Dekin has been going in your room everyday! I think he is getting ready for you! He lays on your rug or under your bed! I bet he will spend many hours under that bed! He is such a good dog! I am glad you will have him to grow up with! I bet you will be best buds!!!

Atleast it will be worth it!!! I can't wait to meet you!!! I love you so much!

Week 15

Hey my little pumpkin! This week we have been busy! We decided your room is going to be what use to be the computer room!!! We had to move your daddy's closet, which he didn't like! I made him get rid of some of his clothes!!! He is so picky about what he wears, which you will soon find out! And I couldn't believe some of the things he had in there (haha)! So anyways we put the computer in the back room which I had painted red! It looks so good!!! I need to know what you are so we can get your room decorated and painted!! By the way I took a sneak pick of you with an ultrasound and I saw your sweet hands covering your face!!! It just melted my heart! Your dad wants me to quit doing that because he gets a little jealous I think!!! I just can't help myself! I saw your little bitty fingers and all the bones!!! You look so comfy in there!!! I hope you have plenty of room! You will soon find out I am not a very big person and your daddy is! So I hope you take after him but have plenty of room! I saw your nose too! I think it may be my nose haha! You are going to be so great, well you already are! Laura and Leah keep trying to feel my belly! They think it is funny I am getting a big belly! I know everyone will be so excited to feel you kick and you know I can't wait! I love you!

Week 14

Hey sweetie, you are 14 weeks and doing great! We went to the doctor May 3rd and your heart beat is 163 beats per minute!!! You are working hard in there and growing like a weed! And man have you made mommy sick! I probably got sick twice a day for the first 10 weeks and now I am just getting sick every now and again! I am having so much fun knowing you are growing in my belly! It is the craziest thing! Although I went to church the other day and I didn't have a thing to wear! Your dad thought I was crazy I nearly tried on everything in the closet and some how it ended up on the floor and every where else in our bedroom! oops...

I sure can't wait to feel you kick and find out if you are going to be a little boy or girl! I don't care either way! I just can't wait to get your room all ready and get all the things you need! Meme and my Mom (we haven't figured out what you will call her yet) have been buying things already! Mom and I are in a battle she thinks you will call her Billygoat because that is what your little brother Dekin (our dog you will love) calls him!!! I think you will call my dad Poppy! Isn't that cute! I bet you will pick your own names just like I picked Meme's name out! Oh and Pop Pick and Grandma Lisa have already bought you an outfit!
