This is Karl.

I am the happiest man in the world.
and this is why...

This is why people were put on this earth.
Ethan is book.

We're home!

We are home! After 21 hours of labor (15+ unmedicated), 1 hour of pushing, a C-Section, and 3 days of a rough recovery. I will update more later when things are more settled.

This is Karl.

im getting a son today

Last appointment!

I had my last pre-natal appointment today! woo hoo! Another bout of false labor a couple days ago helped me out in getting me to 3+, 70%. Which means that I don't have to go in Thursday for ripening - and will go straight in to Labor and Delivery for Pitocin early Friday morning. I'm so anxious. The next time I see people, I will be a momma! How wierd?!

So, the prenatal visit didn't go quite as well as I had hoped. Apparently Spectrum still wasn't aware as to why my case was transfered over to them, and the doctor who promised me last week an induction no later than 41 weeks went on vacation with out setting up an appointment for me. Baby still isn't looking like he's ready to come out yet, and they had to squeeze an induction in for me last minute (Thanks doctor Austin) - but they didnt have room until Thursday January 4th at 7:30pm. That is a whole week from now! And about a week and 1/2 past my due date. I know it sounds ridiculous to those of you who haven't been/aren't pregnant, but I am not sure that I can take another whole week of this! Thank God this process ends with meeting Ethan, because just about anything else wouldn't be worth it.

So, Christmas has come and gone, and baby is still not here. I'm really hoping that he decides to come out soon. Karl and I got a printer/scanner/copier for Christmas (among a lot of other things)... and to try it out I scanned a picture of Ethan's latest ultra sound. So since I don't have the pleasure of sharing with you a picture of my newborn yet. Here is a picture of our bub from in the belly.

We are a mere few days away from our due date, and still waiting patiently. I'll be one of the 4% that actually delivers on their due date, and will be in the hospital on Christmas - you watch!!! But, what ever. I think we're both to the point where we are just so excited to meet Ethan, Christmas or no Christmas - it doesn't matter. I have an appointment at Spectrum tomorrow, I am still a little upset that they switched me so late in the game, but I am excited to meet some of the nurses and doctors that are potentially going to be taking care of me. I am also excited to find out what to expect now that we're going to be delivering at Spectrum instead of Metro....
