My little man!

Now introducing Jaxen Kayne Shatto weighing in at 6 lbs 11 oz and 20 in long! Jaxen was born Thursday night at 7:20 p.m. after a wonderful 12 hours of labor! Brandon and I are on cloud 9 as you can imagine and so very happy and thankful to have a healthy baby boy! My labor was absolutly wonderful... we started pitocin at 7:15 a.m., broke my water at 8, got an amazing epidurl at 11:30, started pushing at at 6:15 p.m. He is eating great and sleeping even better! He is absolutly perfect and I couldn't be any happier to be this tired!

Whoohooo!

I had a Dr. apt today and I am still at 1 cm dilated but I am now 60% thinned out! That is a pretty big change since Thursday when I wasn't thinned out at all. So now that I have made good progress on my own my Dr. is moving my induction up from 6 p.m. on Thursday night to 6 a.m. Thursday morning. One of my only questions to him was "Can I eat a donut before I go in that morning?" And he said yes! So sometime Thursday we will be holding sweet baby Jaxen in our arms!!!! If you are on Facebook we will be updating status' through out the day on Thursday, so stay tuned...

Being Induced!

I had my ultrasound on Friday morning and they found that my amniotic fluid is lower then my Dr. would like for it to be. That being said he is going to send me in Thursday night to start the inducing process!! I'll have a Dr. apt Tuesday at 4 p.m. and I'll know more after that!

Dr. Apt

I had my weekly Dr. apt this morning. There is absolutly no change since last week. Which is a huge bummer!! Still dilated to 1 with no thinning. He is sending me to get an ultrasound tomorrow morning. My stomach is measuring 3 weeks behind my due date so he wants to make sure that Jaxen is still developing properly. He wants to make sure I haven't lost any amniotic fluid and that Jaxen isn't too small. I'm excited to get to have an ultrasound...we haven't seen Jaxen for 20 weeks so I'm anxious to see him again! I'll post again and let you all know how it went when I can!

38 weeks...wow!

I can't believe that I am 38 weeks pregnant! I am so blessed with having an amazing pregnancy! I absolutly love being pregnant! If Brandon would let me I would be a seroget and make money for us this way, ha!
We had a great weekend! My family came up to enjoy the long weekend and we had a great time! We all went to the zoo Saturday and walked around. Great times! On Sunday someone pointed out that they couldn't believe I was 2 weeks away from delivering and I still had ankles, another woman said, "hey she did 2 weeks of camp this summer, it would take more then a zoo afternoon to take her ankles away!" Thought that was cute!
Jaxen's room is simply awaiting decor hung on the walls, everything is washed and in it's correctly labeled area for him to come we are simply needing to put up all the decorations.
I went to the Dr. last Thursday morning and he said I was dilated to a 1 but not thinned out at all yet. I go again this Thursday morning so we will see what he says then.
I didn't post this when it happened b/c I felt dumb about it but now it's funny. The night before I turned 37 weeks I had a massive ugly cry break down! They say when a baby is 37 weeks he is full term and able to be born at any time...we were laying in bed and Brandon said you could have Jaxen tomorrow...I lost it! Not the pretty glistening tear down the face...the snot full ugly cry that takes you into not breathing! I said I wasn't ready to have him and I was enjoying carrying him inside me and didn't want him outside of me yet! At the time it wasn't but now it is pretty funny to think about!
I'll post again if Thursday's Dr.'s apt brings new news!

37 weeks and a great shower!

My church family threw me and Jaxen a shower on Sunday! Our ladies haven't ever really been big on baby showers so I didn't get my hopes up on a specific number on attendance but I walked into the shower and there were like 40 people there!!! I can't tell you how stinkin' amazing of a shower it was! The ladies went above and beyond to make me feel way loved! There were a quite a few people that pitched in and all got me my car seat and stroller combo!

Then Sunday night a gentelmen whose wife died about a year ago came up to me and said, "My wife would have wanted to do something for your shower and I'm not good with words, but you and your husband mean the world to me!" He then gave me a $100! He got tears in his eyes and alls I could say was thank you and gave him a big hug! Isn't that amazing! I have a Dr. apt Thursday morning, if anything is new or changing I'll be sure to post it.
