22 Weeks - Baby Shower & CT visit!

This past week was wonderful, I got to see so many of my loved ones. The trip to CT was long but fun. We listened to an audio-book of the next "book club" pick, "The Great Alone" by Kristin Hannah. We listened to half on the way to CT and the other half on the way back home. It was an epic story that made me tear up quite a few times. But... you aren't here about books!

Baby Zoey! She was celebrated like crazy the day after we arrived in Connecticut. It was quite a whirlwind and overwhelming to say the least. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family AND just as wonderful extended family now!! My Aunt Debbie, Mother-in-law, Aunt Diane and even my girls (Marsha and Arianna) helped out to make it a wonderful event. I'll post a bunch of pictures that had been sent to me (maybe more to come in a future post because I believe there are more floating out there).

The rest of the trip went really well, just not enough time to fit everyone in. I wish I could have spent time with everyone but I definitely had some much needed TLC from friends and family. I wish Chris could have came but we'll have to work on that for next time we visit (hopefully, in May).

3 Months & COVID-19

The world is chaotic right now... just in time for little Miss Zoey Bear to turn 3 months! It's flying by. Right now she is finding her hands, munching on them, starting to hold onto things and loves to play with her soft books (mostly chew on them). Interacting with her is SO much fun and there is nothing better than to see her smile at you. Chris always melts when she smiles at him, he knows he is in for it! Right now we are in the middle of a new pandemic called COVID-19 (corona virus) and the country is being told to stay away from groups of 10 or more (some parts of the country - like New York - are told to stay indoors except for essentials). It's a strange world out there right now. Luckily, nothing much has changed over here since I am working from home and we barely were going out much anyways (with baby and all). I went to the grocery store to stock up on some food and the aisles were bare... No meats, paper goods, rice, canned goods and very little pasta among othe...

Week 38 - Countdown Begins

Eeek, only 1 more week until Induction date! I can't believe it's coming up so quickly. I am so excited and terrified all at the same time. Part of me is like... "get her out, i'm sore, tired and want to be able to tie my shoes or sneeze without peeing myself!" but another part of me is like... "this means lack of sleep, crying nights and A LOT of work". All I have to do is remind myself that I get to see that little face, the one that's been keeping me company squirming in my belly all these months. She is almost here and ready to meet us. When I think about that, it brings me to tears and I know I am strong enough to handle it. Women have been doing this from the beginning of time and I am not so special. It's time to begin that next chapter, the one where I stop being so selfish and become a better person to raise this little human being who will need my love, guidance and care. I go in for my final Ultrasound today and I am seeing the midwi...

It's Happening....

At ultrasound today and Zoey wasn't moving around like she should, got sent to labor and delivery for monitoring and even though she was looking great.... They decided it was time to start my induction. I'm now laying in the hospital bed, having contractions after my second dose of cryotec was given. This is supposed to soften my cervix, then I can get checked for dilation in a few hours. So yeah, this is happening. I'll try and keep this updated with my labor story as we go. Zoey will probably be here today (seeing as it's 3am) December 21st 2019. 12/21/19
