Anthony is one week old today! 

Between Daddy and I we change MANY MANY diapers!

You are VERY alert (when you are actually awake)

You have excellent control of your head when you lift it.

You actually turn your head and look at whos talking to you.

You are sleeping very well for us at night getting up to eat every 3-4 hours then going back to sleep.

You are LOVED so much by all your brothers and sisters too. I can’t wait to see you laugh and play with them!

~Going home 9-24-10~

~First night home 9-24-10~

 ~First doctor Appointment 9-25-10  9:40 am~

Today he weighed in at 7 pounds 10 ounces and was 21 inches, he shrunk! The nurse said they really stretch them when they measure them at birth…

Love to have written more but need I explain why I didn’t? I am so in love right now,soaking it all in!

 Thought I would pop on and update my blog….I can’t believe I let almost a month go by.

No Baby yet!  BIG surprise for me since today I got an e-mail saying I am now 40 weeks..which I have never been before. 3 weeks ago I felt the baby flip,sure enough he was but first. 37 weeks and having a baby flip on you is pretty scary.

I was in the beginning stages of labor at my appt. on the 10th and ultrasound confirmed he indeed flipped,so I was sent directly to the hospital to stop the contractions and possibly flip him back,then induce. They kept me overnight and the next day they decided to schedule a day to turn and induce(since they stopped the labor) Which was the 24th this friday! Well I heard this procedure can be pretty painful and was told there is a risk of having an emergency c-section if the baby cannot tolerate it.

Well this past Saturday I was scheduled to get an Iv Iron injection which would help prepare me in case of extra bleeding (since i was very anemic to begin with,and being this is number six,the Doc wanted it on board )

THIS IS WHAT IV IRON LOOKS LIKE (kinda freaked me out to see something that looked like blood going into my body *shiver*)

While we were there he decided to grab the ultrasound and check to see what position he was in. WELL he was HEAD DOWN! yay! 

 I did feel him move allot, and when i did i would get in all the positions to help him have enough room to get head down,which if you google breech babies and how to flip them,well….these are not the most comfortable positions to get into Ha ha. BUT this did work! And i kinda felt better when he was in the correct position,so I stopped doing these moves so as not to flip him back just in case he was right. If you have ever had a baby breech this late in pregnancy,you know how painful and awkward it feels to just walk and move around.

My doctor needless to say was relieved! he said well this sure uncomplicates things. He kept the date on the calendar for the 24th until Wed the 22nd,when we are taking another peek to make sure he is still head down.

 So i wait for Wed at my appt to see if he is going to make this easy or difficult for me…(although i have this weird feeling i may not make it till then?) But I have been saying this forever it seems.I do feel he is still head down,when he was not head down i could feel his head directly between my ribs,and had incredible heartburn.Also my belly just looked different,felt the hiccups lower and kicks also.

I am very excited to meet him and he is driving me crazy by waiting so long! Everything is READY for him!

~ignore the chicken leg with batman pajama pants…He’s got the hiccups and is either very happy squirming around,or really wants out…still painful either way for me.
