welcome little man

so yesterday after a whopping 25min of labour, (oh my goodness! that was a little crazy i must say! )we welcomed tavin brock griffin to our family. 9lbs 6oz and 22 inches. i'm not really sure where he was all hiding in me, but it does suddenly explain alot of the strange discomfort and movements i never really had with the much smaller baby girls we have. so far we're all doing well. i was discharged from the hospital not 24 hrs after his birth, which was good cause my room mate had a fussy little girl so we didn't sleep at all last night. so here's to hope of some decent sleep tonight.

one week

well here we are, one full week past due. ugh. today's my NST: non stress test, for the baby. and if nothing happens i'm supposed to be induced on wed, so on the bright side i should only be pregnant for 3 more days regardless. sigh. feeling very discouraged being this over due. but i did get an actual weekend of rest, aside from all the walking, raspberries and contractions. my in laws took the girls for 2 nights in great hope that all my contractions would lead to prince humperdink's arrival. my parents are home from the funeral of my grandpa and learned something new. apparently his name wasn't really Henry as we had all believed, it was Heinrich, much more german. mom wanted to know if we were gonna name the babe Heinrich now, HA! if she only knew what we were planning. ha ha ha! come on baby!

the week ahead

so the fun part is that brock and brent got the stairs done going from the main floor to the upstairs on sat. no more climbing ladders and trying to fall down 2 stories, bonny! the sad, in the loss way, of the week is that my grandfather passed away this morning. but he was 89 and is now at peace. also little man who has no name is due tomorrow. no sign of him yet but i am hope full it will be this week. kinda crazy since my parents will have to be in Sask for a funeral and i have to stay home to give birth. talk about the changing of the guard. so here's to a crazy week ahead! may God be in it all.

quick update

feeling stupid exhausted today for no good reason other than being ridiculously pregnant. but the house is looking great! from the front it looks like a real house with siding and everything, and they are knocking through the walls from the existing house to the addition this week, and finishing the siding on sat. thank God for no snow yet!!as brent put it " the house has gone from a cabin to a home. feeling excited. as for baby he has dropped like crazy person but stan still said "see you next week!" sigh.
