Finally! It's a ....

Here is my pride and joy!!!! She is 3 days old in this picture. (More pictures to come)

This is going to be super short post because I am delirious and soooo tired. I want to announce that my baby girl, L.ucy M.arie M.assett was born on August 19th at 6:46PM weighing 7 Ibs 15 ounces and 20 inches long. I feel like I am living a dream right now and I am choked up even typing this. She is so precious and such a joy to have in my life. Once I adjust and recover fully from my c-section I will type her birth story for you all to know the details. At the moment it is all a blur so I will have to have Dh remind me of what happened during her birth :)
Thank you all for your prayers and support!

Prayer requests/ intentions

So girls I have about 2 weeks left give or take until the arrival of Baby Massett. If anyone would like me to take there intentions with me into labor just let me know. I need to offer all this pain up for someone/something so it would be helpful to have your intentions in mind :) Just email if you would like: ambermassett at gmail dot com

Here's a little update. It is getting much harder to move around. Every joint in my body aches even my fingers which is weird! I really don't have much enery during the day. Saturday morning I slept in and actually caught up on my lack of sleep lately. So Dh and I got dressed, went to the Farmers Market, S.tarbucks, and then to Maymont Park to walk around the japanese gardens, then Dh drove me to the Mall so I could get a couple nursing bras, then we went to my parents house to go swimming, and I made peach cobbler with my sister while Dh grilled ribs (YUM!!!!). It was a very busy day to say the least but I kept telling Dh that I really wanted us to do a lot before the baby comes. Needless to say Sunday I crashed!!!! I felt so sick tired that I did nothing! Absolutely nothing! Just sat on the couch and watched T.V. I was so wiped out!

Anyways, Saturday really taught me a lesson. I really need to pase myself lately with what I plan on doing for one day at a time. I am really getting anxious for the baby to come. I have such a mixture of feelings from being scared, nervous, and anxious to go through all the pain to being excited, and overjoyed to finally meet my little one.

We have another midwife appoinment tomorrow so hopefully she'll tell me the baby has turned around and things are progessing. After all I have been taking that eveing primrose oil at night and (TMI) it makes me feel like I wet my pants ...so uncomfortable! it is so difficult to sleep right now that the smallest thing wakes me. It is such a huge process to roll from one side to the other that I constantelty wake up just to flip over. I really can't believe how pregnancy changes your whole body.

I think that is probable one of the reasons I have been in hiding lately. I haven't visited with anyone in awhile just because i get so uncomfortable sitting for a long period of time. Mass has been a killer lately so the movies are definelty out of the question, haha! I don't want to have anyone over and then be like "excuse me I need everyone to sit at the dining room table so I can lye down on the couch." That would be crazy. But that is how I feel.

I think I am really going to miss being pregnant when this is all over with just because it has been a dream come true but it will be nice to get to moving around like normal and feeling like myself again. And if I hear one more time "are you sure you're not having twins" "are you sure there is only one baby in thre" I just might break down and bawl my eyes out :)

Hospital Tour (video)



We finally went on our hospital tour! I posted a little clip of Dh and I outside of the hospital, Yeh :)It was so special...I was choked up in the labor and delivery room. I just couldn't believe we were actually there preparing for the birth of our baby. Just to think in a few weeks we'll be there for the actual birth of our baby...AMAZING!!!! I was just so wiped out afterwards because we had to stand for an HOUR during the tour. It was rough! I was so tired physically and emotionally afterwards.

TO BE CONTINUED:
Now I am continuing this post today after our midwife appointment (TMI ahead). I guess I am not dilated at all and my cervix hasn't softened at all so now I am taking Evening Prim Rose Oil orally and vaginally to get things ready. Hopefully that will do the trick :) We talked about our birth plan and stuff like that which I feel much better about. So now I just wait and see until next weeks appointment :)
