Happy Valentine's Day

I think Valentine's Day is a day of love and romance but also a day to rip everyone off. Jason sent me flowers one year to work and I about died when I found out how much he spent on them. I would much rather go to a nice dinner or relax at a spa then have him buy flowers on this day. Now if he really wants to get me flowers there are 351 days out of the year that he can choose to buy them on and save some cash....hint, hint.


I hope he isn't getting me anything because I didn't get him a gift. I think our gift of Ellie is enough for both of us.

Today Was My Due Date

Today Feb. 9 was my due date. Miss Ellie decided to come 5 days early which I'm so glad she did. She came right in between two snow storms and today wouldn't have been a fun day to try and make it to the hospital. We got 8" which for some isn't a lot but for us here in KS it's quite a bit. I played a little dress up today with Ellie taking lots of pics. She has changed so much just in these few days. She is perfect still eating and sleeping good. I think it's finally sinking in that we are parents and she is really our daughter.

She's Here!!!!

Ellie Lucille Williams was born this morning at 7:04am. She weighs 7lbs 14oz and is 20 inches long. Sara woke up this morning at about 12:30am and said she couldn't sleep and was having contractions about 10 minutes apart. About 1:00 am Sara got in the shower, because contractions got to about 6 minutes apart. We left the house for the hospital around 1:30am. When Sara was first checked in at the Hospital, which was at about 3:00am, she was 5-6 cm dialated. Still no Epidural. At about 5:00am she was measuring at about 8cm and contractions were coming pretty hard and fast. That's when the Epidural came. We were hoping to wait until Sara's mom and dad made it in from Omaha, but Ellie had other plans. They ended up getting here at about 8:15am or so. We both still can't believe she is actually here!

Quick update

Had my ob appt today and I'm now at 3cm and still 90%. She asked if I wanted to be induced but knowing there is an increased risk of c-section with that I told her we will just wait and see how the week goes. Baby girl will come when she is ready and I guess maybe because it's so stinking cold outside she wants to stay in a bit longer.

Room is ready

Thought I would share a few pics of baby's room with you all. Sorry I had to write over her name so you wouldn't see. We are so happy with how it all turned out, except for the curtains. I ordered fabric and took them to a seamstress so I wouldn't mess them up and when I picked them up yesterday and hung them they were about 4-5" too short...Ugghhh after all the time and money I spent picking out fabric I could have done that but it will have to do.

Jason's birthday was last week and he is a huge Duke basketball fan and with it being basketball season I thought she needed a little outfit to watch her first game with her daddy.

Still nothing going on. I made a little hat for baby today for her pictures the week after she is born. They have tons of these little hats on etsy.com ($20- $30) but just couldn't stand to spend the money when I knew I could make it for a fraction of the price...ok like $1.00 after using my Michael's coupon. Yes call me frugal I really don't mind. I guess you are paying for the time, but for an amature it took me about 1 1/2 hrs. Not too bad.

OB appointment is tomorrow we will see what she says this week. I'm curious to see if I'm dilated any more than last week or if I'm stuck at a 2. :(
