Benjamin David

We were released from the hospital at 5:55pm yesterday and waited just that long to fill out the birth certificate information. We are so decisive like that. The middle name comes from Josh’s dad, which we thought made sense due to the fact Benjamin was born on his grandpa’s birthday. And it […]

baby’s here!!

Hey y’all, Ashley here! Beth asked me to let all her readers know that her baby arrived safe and sound this evening. Here is what I posted in my own blog about it:
I am SOOO happy to announce to the whole blogging world that Beth’s newest little one was born today at 5:55pm! He was […]

Still Here

Turns out I got some sleep last night. Praise the Lord, because I don’t know too many labors that pause for a good eight hours so that the mommy can sleep. Okay, so there were a few contractions during the night, and they started back up regularly at 6:45. But overall? […]

Contractions

So anyone who’s talked to me much the past couple weeks knows I’ve been getting Braxton Hicks contractions pretty regularly. Braxton Hicks don’t hurt; they just make my uterus hard as a ball. It’s more amusing than anything.

I was getting ready to throw a load in the washer this morning when I noticed my Downy ball rattled a bit more than usual.
Look closely. Yep, that’s popcorn. In my Downy ball.
And it’s not easy to get out, either.
I love life with a toddler!

So I had my first ever 40 week prenatal appointment today. I only got to 39 with Olivia. And I made an appointment for next week. A 41 week prenatal appointment. What do you think? Will I have to cancel? I told the doctor today that I’d prefer to […]
