{ cutest little sleeper....ever }

Well folks...it's been a little over a week already (time seriously flies) I can't quite believe how fast it really goes!
Morning coffee is my favorite time of day.
But he's not the worst sleeper...up every few hours for a diaper change & nursing :-)
He's honestly just perfect...I'm sorry, shameless lovin'
We've gone out a few times, for lunch with a friend (he slept right through it), appointments etc & while I initially like getting out of our 'cave', I end up craving my little space where I have everything I need.
I am working on a birth story, so that will be coming in a little. Over all mommy-hood is fantastic, I can't believe he's mine. :-)

:: peace & love ::

Oh, by the way ;-)

Bun no longer in the oven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOTS LOTS more pics to come & perhaps a birth story....
but for the moment here he is

Sterling Nesta Nanasy :)))))))

We could not be more in love.

Born August 13th at 9:48 pm, 7 lbs 1 oz...........utter perfection.

I'm still here...and the bun is still in the oven.

{ fav maternity pic that our besti's gifted us on a beautiful canvas for the shower! }

{ is it ridiculous that we JUST got a headboard?...I feel like a real adult }

{ putting the feet up...that's a 37.5 week belly there!!! }

{ a good hair day...ha }

{ a good manicure with OPI's 'Ski Teal We Drop' }

{ our beautiful kitty Pepper perched atop the tie dyed onesies from the shower }

{ a favorite sleeveless, footed onesie complete with planets, stars & space ships }

{ time spent by the pool...that's my belly...not a giant boob }

So folks, that's what's been going on for me! Off work for the babes, which I might add is lovely. Don't miss work one bit, although I miss my co workers like mad :-(
We've got the car cleaned out & detailed, ready for our chubby little bundle o'love. Stroller put together & test driven down the hall. Car seat base in car...although I do need to pack a bag for the hospital!!!!!!!!!!! Kinda a biggie, no?!
New on the preggo/baby front....
I get heart burn like it's going out of style. No gracias.
My feel & ankles swell up if I'm on them for too long...cankle mania is what we're calling it.
To turn from one side to the other/get up in the night to go pee is quite a doozie & I'm sure when watched by others mildly amusing considering the level of effort involved in all movements.
My doc thinks I've got a big baby in there...she guestimated around 8 lb's already (how do they really know I must wonder)...given that I want a natural childbirth (no induction, drugs or c section), I'm just hoping that he doesn't get so big I can't get him out of there naturally....is that something I should actually be concerned about?!
Other than his size (which I should add is not ab-normal, he's perfectly healthy, as am I, thank goodness), everything else is good :-) Minus cankle mania of course!!

** hopefully sooner than later I will be posting pics of our 8 lb's of love!!!!!
