Hello Everyone ---

WOW, I can't believe it has been almost 2 weeks already! It was a rough start but let me tell you VERY worth it!

God has blessed us with a beautiful baby BOY! I know some of you had heard we were having a GIRL. 2 weeks before my due date we had another Ultra Sound and found out it was a boy. The adjustment in my head was hard but as long as we had a healthy baby that was all that mattered.

We went in on 9/15 to be induced. I had protein in my urine and the doctor didn't like that, so to be on the safe side we were scheduled to start everything that evening. I started contractions on my own sometime in the middle of the night. Pitocin was started at 9:30am 9/16, by 2:25pm I was ready for my epidural...3:30pm my new nurse checked me and I was at a 3. I looked at Steve and said this is going to be a long afternoon and night. At 5:10pm she checked me again and I was a 10 and the baby was down and ready to be born. 2 1/2 hours of pushing and we finally had a baby!

MATTHEW STEVEN KUBRICKY was born 9/16/08 at 7:43pm - 8lbs, 1oz and 21 inches long. He is perfect and adorable in every way. I can say that because I am his mom! He does look exactly like is daddy did when he was a baby and I can also alot of him in him as he changes everyday.

We are getting on a better schedule everyday and adjusting to less sleep at night. We had to get used to that...as Steve and I are people who normally get 8-8 hours of sleep. That quickly changed but I am hoping to get him into a goos little schedule and have him sleeping through the night before I know it.

Waiting ...

Monday's Doctor Appointment was ok ... My cervix is open and I was having SLIGHT contractions Sunday afternoon and Monday AM. Nothing major but Doctor said we are headed in the right direction. I have my next doctor appointment on Monday the 15th. He didn't think he would see me again except at the hospital. However, it is Friday AM and I am thinking so far my "due" date will come and go and I will be at the doctor Monday morning. We will wait and see. Yes WAIT... I believe that is the hardest part of all of this. Just waiting...

I worked a couple of hours each day this week and decided that I am done. What a weird feeling ... when I left yesterday I felt as though I was leaving for a year. Don't get me wrong it was a good feeling but now I am home and trying to relax! Ha ... tough for me to do. No one to talk to and any one who really knows me knows I HATE the TV on turning the day. What to do what to do ... today I am doing something for me! I am going for a pedicure! Not for the sake of pretty feet in delivery but for a nice relaxing moment for my self. Which will be far and few between someday real soon.
That is all for now ... Until Baby or the next doctors appt.

LOVE TO YOU ALL!
