Introducing Drake Emmett

He is the cutest little man ever! Course I am quite biased. Anyway. He came into the outside world on June 15 at 1:20 PM. He was 7 lbs 2.2 oz and 20 in. Born with red hair, but as you can see it darkened. He is an absolute doll. He barely cried at first. Course now he fights sleep and doesn't like sleeping in his bassinet. But that's okay! I cannot believe how much I love this little guy! On a different note, it is so strange to not be pregnant after all this time. My belly is so soft and squishy after being so taught. It's still kind of round. I still am not used to not going to work. I keep thinking I'll have to go in, but then I don't, and it's kind of weird. And not going to bed early like I had been when I was pregnant. I usually end up staying up a bit because Drake gets up around midnight to eat. And gets up at 6 AM and stays up to play. What a sweet little guy though!!!

Another lazy day watching 16 Candles

And feeling The Little Man in the belly pushing with all his little might on the side of my abdomen.

I am two days past my original due date.  Course I am still two weeks from the one they gave at the first ultrasound.

Course that doesn't stop me from being ready to meet The Little Man.

Oh my.

I cannot wait to stop working.  Course we'll see what happens down the road.  I'll probably be begging to go back.  We'll see.

The weird thing is I'm already off the schedule.  They've got me replaced (as best they can) and I'm just there.  I'm worried about tomorrow.  I fear there will be too many of us there.  And I'll get sent home or some other bull like that.  But then, I guess it won't bother me so bad, but the money would be nice.

I've got to finish the husband's cookies.  And laundry.  I'm so ready for My Little Man.

Why am I updating?

Because there is nothing better to do and I really should go to bed.  I'm having pains.  I think it's false labor.  It stops when I lay down.  Unfortunately I cannot lay down at work, so I end up being in pain practically all day.  I get up to get away from the computer every once in a while and talk to my favorite coworkers (techs and assistants in the back).  I was told today by my dad that when I call him or my ma to first say that its not THE CALL if I'm not in labor yet.  They're excited and ready to jump in the car and head down here.  Talking to him today he was watching a guy walk a little rat that passes for a dog these days.  It was so little the curb was taller.  Two pounds at most.  I like small dogs (certain breeds really.  Poodles and Yorkies....ew.) but that tiny and it's a freaking rat that yips.  Give me a fat, snorting little Pug.  Maybe even a Pekingese or a Shih-Tzu.  Even better!  An English or a French Bulldog!  Speaking of, Bella is about to go into heat again.  Time for them to get their AI on.  Woo!  I'll update you guys tomorrow after my appointment.  Maybe I'll have dilated more since I've been having all these weird pains that maybe are false labor....
