Ok, I've been trying to make a post for days but let me tell you being a mom is really hectic and I'm lucky if I can get a shower. Even though I stay really busy, Hunter is the best thing that has happened to me. He is doing so well also. He had a little colic to begin with but we got some new bottles and now he's great. He's also started to grin and the biggest thing is that he rolled over the other night. I jut can't believe how big he's getting.
Another good thing is that this Thursday we're going to WV and I'm so excited. It's gonna be great to see everyone and to show off my boy.

New Baby

So far, my experience of being a mom is great; although, I've had my momma to help me for the past two weeks. I'm sure though, that when she leaves that it will still be great, just a little more tiring.
Hunter is a very good baby he's just had a lot of problem with colic and is still trying to get the difference between night and day. He has his first Dr's appt. this Thursday so we'll see how everything is going.

Hunter William Guthridge

So, he's finally here and I'm so happy. this blog isn't going to be very long cause taking care of a newborn is a lot of work. Here are some specifics on my little man. Hunter William Guthridge was born on March 1, 2007 at 4:09 pm. He weighed 8lbs. 9 oz. and was 21 1/2 in. long. He was very awake and alert from the moment he was born, and I must say that he's the best looking baby I've ever seen. :) But, I am his momma...

Not Yet

Well, still no baby. There will definitly be one on Friday though. They were hoping that I would go into labor before now, but since I haven't I will go ahead and be at the hospital at 6am (blah too early) on thursday for them to induce me. They will probably start me on a pitocin drip and that will start the contractions. So, no matter what Hunter will be here by Friday.
Other news, my family is coming in for the birth and I'm really excited. My mom, dad, and sister are leaving early Wednesday to get here so that they don't miss a thing; although a lot of it will be waiting for them. My dad and my sister are leaving to go back to WV on Sunday, but my mom will be staying for a couple of weeks to help me out and get adjusted to my new life. After that, Colt and I will try to come out when he has at least 5 days off which happens often.
I'm still a little nervous, but this cold that I got over the weekend is helping me not to think about what's coming cause I feel so lousy. I do have another picture from when I was pregnant around Thanksgiving. It's a pic of my friend Blanca, who already had a baby girl Lola, and I showing off our bellies...

Almost 40 weeks

Well, I'm not great at taking pictures, but I'm sure that will change here in just a little while. Plus, I have my camera in my hospital bag ready for the big event and if I take it out I know I will forget it.
I'm still very pregnant! I'm currently almost 40 weeks, my due date is the 25th, and still no sign of baby. The doctor decided that if I don't deliver before then, that he will induce me Thursday, March 1st so it's up to Hunter now.
We have his room pretty much finished. The walls are painted and the curtains are up, but we still have the computer in there and nothing on the walls, but that will come in time.
I have to say that I am very nervous about the whole thing. Not so much about the pain, but about having to be in the hospital (I hate hospitals) and then having this little person who is completely dependent on me...it's a little nerve racking. Not to mention the fact that I'm going to breastfeed which is best for the baby, but I really don't want to do it. I'm very excited for him to get here (Colt can't wait), I just don't deal well with the unexpected.
So, this is probably my last post before I have the baby so the next one I will definitly have tons of pics of Mr. Hunter William Guthridge.

Could be soon!

Well I went to the dr today and I am 1 cm dialated and Hunter is fully engaged in my pelvis so I could go into labor at any time....thank goodness. I'm excited to be a mother but I'm really tired of being pregnant. I still haven't figured out all the stuff with this blogging thing so stay with me while I figure it all out.

Still Preggers

So far, I just keep getting bigger and bigger. I'm 37 1/2 weeks pregnant and I feel like I've been pregnant for my entire life. I know this will soon end and when I hold my new baby I will forget about all the annoying pain and sickness, but for right now I'm miserable. The one thing that I do cherish from being pregnant, aside from eating whatever I want, is feeling the baby move inside me. That's the one thing I will miss the most.
