Elliot was born on 9/9/09 and weighed 8 lb 3 oz. We are doing well and he is the most precious thing! Ian is so proud of his little brother. Here are some pics. Thanks to my mother for all of her help and for everyone who has come to see us and has prayed for us.
We haven't had much going on lately (other than baby prep) so I don't have any exciting photos! This is a regular sight at our house... Ian loves to just come up to me randomly and love on Elliot. Such a sweet boy! I hope he is as nice to him outside of mommy's belly. :)
We go to church with the very sweet Jennifer & Jodie Lassiter and they recently had a cookout for church members and a non-shower for us at their lovely home. (I refused a formal shower!) We had a great time and the food was unbelievable. Thanks guys!
Jennifer & Jodie's adorable daughter, Annie, and Ian had a great time getting into trouble. J/K they were good, but they always look like they are up to something! They are too cute together, aren't they? I see a possible girlfriend in the future! lolNo, I still have not given birth and I am hoping that this full moon will do its job! If I do not go into labor on my own by Tuesday evening, they are going to induce me on Wednesday morning. (Elliot's birthday will be 9/9/09). I really didn't want to be induced this time, but at this point I am ready to get it over with. I am now at the point of misery and to top it all off, Ian has gotten sick. He has only had a fever so far with no signs of anything else, so I am hoping the fever will go away and all will be good. He does seem to be feeling better already today.
Everything has been checking out well at our doctor appointments. They did an ultrasound 2 weeks ago and everything looking good, but they estimated that Elliot weighed 7 lbs & 5 ozs at that time! I also had extra amnio fluid which was why I was measuring so large. Ian only weighed 7 lbs 7 ozs when he was born, so I can't believe there is such a difference in their sizes.
I am really feeling it though and I cannot get enough to eat, which is not good! I also have had my first ever strange craving... has anyone ever had peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwiches? hmmm, hmmm. They are too good for words lol! I would never have come up with that combination, but I was watching a Jon & Kate rerun the other day and she had made them for her kids. It sounded so good that I couldn't wait to get to the store to buy some marshmallow creme (I know Brandie will be proud, she is a long time marshmallow creme fan). Has anyone else had any strange cravings?
I know I've been slacking on posting pics too. I promise to do that on my next post! Have a great Labor Day weekend! Thank you to everyone too for the well wishes.
