Wow 7 months later... I have been busy

Sorry, it has been so long since my last post... but I have been a little pre-occupied. Most of you know the run down... but I will give a brief summary!

Gavin Joseph McRae was born February 4th, 2012 (4 days past his due date) at 6:37pm. 7lbs, 11 ozs and 22" long.... I had a rough labor and after 2.5 hours of pushing, Gavin took his first breath via c-section.

He has been an absolute joy in our lives... I couldn't ask for a more precious little man with such a loving soul. We have had our share of sleepless nights and experiences being peed and pooped on, but that is just one of the things you take in as a new parent.

Lil Mr. will be 6 months old this coming Saturday and it is hard to believe, I feel like I just held him in my arms for the first time yesterday. I am trying so hard to take in every little laugh, smile, tug at my hair and touch of his skin.

We are adjusting to parenthood well and it has been a blessing that Gavin has been such an easy baby... someday it may trick us into having baby #2.

I will just wrap up this blog post with a few pics from the past couple months so you can see the change in Gavin!

Waddle On... 37 weeks

37 weeks... where has the time gone?

Went to the doctor this morning and I am 2cm dilated... but could be that way for one day or two weeks. I would honestly prefer it to be one day.

I am so ready to meet this little man, that I am already so in love with. He has been very active the past couple of days kicking me and jabbing me in the most awkward spots. His heartbeat was 145 this morning and they are expecting him to be around 8lbs at birth. We will see if he is that big or not... I know it is hard to get an accurate read for the most part.

The nursery is mostly done, a few finishing touches to be done this week and we are done.

I am still working but I think I am down to my last few days of actually being in the office. I am super tired and just plain uncomfortable. And yes, I have the waddle.

The dreaded waddle that is a direct cause of this little boy that has descended further to prepare to face the world. I know I am waddling... but I don't people to point it out. I mean really do you think I can help it at this point in time? Nope, so I am just going to keep waddling on until it's time! Call me a penguin or what have you... but I don't care, this little man is causing it and I couldn't be any happier to keep on waddling.
