Loving my new role in the world


Nobody said it would be easy, and they were right. But I'm loving every minute of it. Here is a picture of Xander's first bath at home. After a bit of spilled water (from my elbow knocking it over) and many tears. We made it through the first bath.

My miracle


Meet Xander Michael Walsh. The most beautiful thing I've ever seen. He was born on Thursday September 17, 2009. Weighed in at 8 lbs 11 ounces and was 22 inches long. What a blessing from God. I love every bit of him. His hair, his fingernails, nose, skin.... I could go on and on.

Pains of Pregnancy


It's no wonder that your back hurts when you are pregnant, I am having to keep myself from falling forward!!! Lower back pain - check, swollen feet and ankles - check, uncomfortable sleeping - check. At 39 weeks I know it could be worse. I have had a very easy pregnancy up until this point. Just can't wait for the pregnancy to be over so I can meet this new man in my life :) My last Dr appt was on Friday and I was 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. They said that it could be any day now. I'm pretty convinced that I will still be attending my Dr appt this coming Friday (my due date). If I have not gone into labor by 41 weeks, they will schedule and induction. I've heard the contractions are must worse when you are induced and the Dr says it increases the risk of needing a C section. I can only hope and pray then that he comes on his own. He may come out walking but at least I'll know he is fully developed and ready to come out. Can't wait to meet you little man!!!!

Last but not least


Ladies from my women's bible study group and a few other friends made up Baby Shower #3. Thank you to Sarah for pampering us with her Beauty Control products. It was such a relaxing evening complete with fondue (strawberries, marshmallows, pound cake) and baby gifts!!! I highly suggest the Beauty Control products!! I have ordered a few things so that i can pamper myself after the baby's born. Grandma will be watching the baby and I'll be in the bath tub with my eye patches, neck wrap, and lip appeal. :) Ahhh.... I'm starting to feel relaxed already.
Look at the Beauty Control catalog at www.beautycontrol.com and send orders to sarahenry123@yahoo.com
