Well I had our son on May 19th at 12:18 am. It was Hot Dog Day at work and I ate 4 of them. I was hungry for sure. Darren and I had dinner and then my water broke. That was about 6:30 on the 18th. I went around and watered all the flowers and shrubs in the backyard since I was sure I might not get another chance. My contractions started at 9 pm and I watched CSI while I contracted every four minutes. We arrived at the hospital at 10:30 and got admitted and all. So I had him quickly after that. They didn't have time to do any epidural and the doctor arrived in the middle of my delivery. In fact Dr. Watts watched me give birth because I didn't seem to need his help.

I was out at 7pm on the 19th. The room was having a problem with the heat being permanently on and I was sweating to death with a hospital gown on. Not a place I wanted to be overnight.

Dave and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary on the 20th by going to Hy's for dinner. There was no way I was going to miss dinner on our anniversary. It was a fabulous dinner too.

He's sleeping most of the night now and I enjoy about 5 or 6 hours at a time. He feeds every three hours during the day and we've already taken him to many places. He travels well. Soon he will experience travelling the Coquihalla. Should prove easy if he's like his brother. Though he's different than Darren in that he's found his thumb tastes good in his mouth and he accepts the dummy. So a thumb sucker like his mama was.

Well I hit the number 37 with flying colors. No baby yet!

My ultrasound was good and it looks like I get to wait until the baby decides to come out on it's own. No c-section for me.

I found out it's a boy! This is cool since I now don't have to buy any clothes for him. It's hand me downs for now. Darren has plenty of clothes he's never even worn that will do the job nicely. The baby is over 8 pounds now with 3 weeks to go so I don't think it'll be long before I have this one. The technician said he's got a overly large head (just like the rest of the Stewart men) and the doc said it's the shoulders I should pray are smaller.

The baby's room is now painted and I've been busy re-organizing all my baby clothes and arranging the baby's furniture. The only thing left is the crib itself that has to be dismantled and then re-assembled since it's in Darren's bedroom taking up room. Darren can't wait to get his train back up and running which we will put in his room soon.

I look ready eh?

This week it's the swelling ankles and loose joints that are bothering me. Not to mention the hot flashes. My next ultrasound is on Tuesday and they will decide after that whether I am having a c-section.

We went to see Mission Impossible 3 and it was really enjoyable. Kept you on the edge of the seat through most of the movie. Baby was kicking up a storm through most of it too.

Duncan was born April 29th around 11:30pm. I hear Karen was induced and that she finally ended up having a c-section. Way to go girl! You made it!
