We are home!!

We liked the security of having endless nurses handy to answer any questions that we had, but it feels good to be relaxing at home now. We are very tired as we adjust to Scott's growing appetite, but he is doing great so far.

Congratulations to Kathy Cutright!!! She is taking FIRST PLACE in the baby pool!!! She was 2 days off on the date, but was very close to weight. [1,000 - 2 (date) - 4.5 (weight, half point for each ounce) = 993.5]

Grandpa Dunn is second place, just off 5 days. Thanks to everyone who played, we had a great time planning this!!


Here are some of the pictures from the last few days.

First Day:

Happy Birthday, Scott Matthew

Life so far:

First Days

We are doing great!!

Hi Everyone, it's Mommy. I'm doing great recovering from the c-section, thanks for all the great congrat notes, Ryan has been saving all of them for the baby book. All three of us are being very well taken care of here. The hospital staff has been wonderful. We are planning to go home tomorrow morning-ish and Scott already has his first dr appointment on Tuesday afternoon.

We have been taking lots of pictures and will have them uploaded to share tomorrow after we get settled at home. The hospital took its pictures today (of course you know I'll be doing the same thing once I get home and more mobile), but these did turn out good.

love, mom!

Last Dr's appointment

Well, Ryan and I attended our last dr appointment today. It was very short and sweet. Baby is still breech so we are on for Wednesday morning!! I'm expecting a call from the hospital sometime on Tuesday for my final instructions (no eating past midnight kind of thing).

Finally asked the question of "how big is baby"... Dr. seemed pretty confident when she said she expects baby to be close to 8 1/2 pounds!!! Guess I've been feeding baby pretty good over the past 9 months... I put these new estimates in the baby pool calculator and with each ounce being a half a point; we have 2 new entries taking the lead!!! Erika would be a likely winner if she is correct with Girl or her mom, Kathy, would be a likely winner if she is correct with Boy. Both picked the 22nd and expected Ryan and I to produce a very healthy baby. There are still lots of people who would be very close.. It’s still anybody's game!!!

I plan on enjoying my last vacation day getting spoiled with a manicure and pedicure thanks to my boss, Helen, who gave me a gift certificate. This will probably be our last entry before sharing our big news. Ryan will try to get the announcement on the blog after things settle down from the surgery. We will try to have pictures posted as soon as possible too but my goal is to have pictures online by Sunday. Don't worry; there will be tons of pictures... anyone who knows us with a camera know we go crazy.

Love and thanks to everyone who has supported us during the last 9 months, we can't wait to share our most exciting post with you!!

Ryan and Jessica

Yup... still breech

Well, we don't have much of an update to give out. I've been seeing the dr's weekly and today we did a super quick ultrasound just to verify the position of the baby. We are definitely breech.

Everything is set and ready to go... Ryan got the car seat put in the car this weekend. I've been joking with Ryan that baby was not going to come out unless he/she had "a safe ride home". Car seats can be very tricky so I'm going to try to make it over to one of the fire departments this week for them to inspect the install.

Ryan has been good about helping me nest. I put him to work this weekend!! I'm officially done working now. I'm taking this week off to visit with friends and take care of things around the house.

Well, just one more dr. appointment next Monday. Luckily, Ryan has the day off so he can go with me. We'll keep you posted!
