Grayson’s birth story - LONG

100 points if you make it to the end.
I didn’t go into labor until the 16th, but Grayson’s birth story starts on Tuesday, January 13th. I motivated myself to walk the 3 miles around the reservoir near my house with a girlfriend and spent pretty much the entire hour bemoaning my severely pregnant state. [...]

Babies are quite the time suck, no?

I’ve been working on my birth story (Holy 4 pages, Batman), but I’m not quite ready to post it yet. So in the meantime, here is some of the hilarity currently taking place at our house

Good times

I owe so much more than just a quick photo…

But that is really all I can handle at the moment. Must. Get. Sleep.

I have officially been mommied!

Just a quick iPhone update to let you all know that Grayson Parker has arrived. He debuted on Friday, Jan 16th at 6:39 pm weighing 7 lbs 4 oz.
He’s perfect.
I’ll be back with pictures soon!

It’s a well known fact in our household that shopping makes me feel better. Unfortunately, since I currently have a gigantic stomach and sausage feet - shopping for me is pretty much not going to happen.
Koka, unless you’re reading. Then I would REALLY like this. (Love you!)
Anyhoo. Since I can’t [...]

Baby Sexton has been given his official eviction notice.

Otherwise titled - my 39 week update.
Today, after the bean dog and I walked the 3 miles around the Reservoir near my house, I thought I might be leaking fluid. I called the OB just to if there was an easy way to tell fluid vs. normal discharge, but of course they had me [...]

The nursery is finally done!

Yes, I’m still here. I think I will be around until the bitter end….
But, in happier news, I’m finally finished with the nursery. (I’m sure I’ll continue to tweak, since I’ll forever be obsessed with home decor, but that’s besides the point.)
So, anyway - here is the final masterpiece. And [...]

Fact or Fiction?

Erica has predicted that Jan. 7th will the day baby makes his debut. I can only hope!!
Tomorrow is my 38 week OB appointment - so we’ll see if there is any progress in there…
I was thinking about it tonight and it’s funny to me the number of steps us severely pregnant ladies will make [...]

Updated Belly Pictures

It’s been a while since I’ve had the time to update the belly pictures. (I know, bad Meghan) Forgive me!
