Brayden arrived Sunday, Feb. 1 at 3:49 am...the exact time I was born! He was 8 lb. 9 oz and 20.5 in long. He is adorable!! Trevor and I got to go spend this past weekend with them. I was so glad to go before it got too much closer to our baby coming! He has dark hair and does look a lot like my sister Martha. I am so proud for Martha and Ashley! Martha did great with her delivery...when she got to the hosp. she was 8 cm dilated and 100% effaced, so she had Brayden "all natural"! I heard his wt. check today went well-8lb 10 oz. It was so much fun to hold him and take lots of pictures! I hope to see them again soon and that Brayden will get to meet his new cousin soon!
Last week at our OB appt. everything was about the same. The u/s showed our baby was still breech. I've continued doing exercises and going to the chiropractor. I was able to fit in a dentist check-up last week, so I'm glad I got that done before baby arrives! Work now is very tiring, so hopefully not too many more days walking the hosp. floors before I'm out awhile with the baby. I am scheduled for an external cephalic version (ECV) Thurs. am at the hosp. to see if the dr's can turn the baby. We are praying all goes well.
Trevor is working hard to get our laundry "closet" tiled and ready for the new washer and dryer. We need to get some baby clothes washed soon! It's amazing my sister's baby is here now and not much longer before our baby arrives!!!
We continue to enjoy living here with my in-laws, John and Wendy and their 2 girls. Riley is lots of fun...she is now enjoying board games....Candy Land and Hi-ho Cherry-O are games we've played with her recently. Lyla is growing so much...seems to change almost every time I see her-makes me realize how much I'll need to cherish the first few months with our baby b/c they change so fast!
Congratulations to my husband on doing well on another nursing test. He took one at a testing center in Wilmington last Fri. and now only has ONE more nursing test before he can apply to take the clinical check off! We are both looking forward to him working at the hosp. here and not having to drive so far to work.
