SANTA!!!

On Saturday we braved “Arctic Blast 2008″ and headed to the nearest mall to give Hadley her time with Santa.  I was nervous to start with because of the roads.  It has been very snowy and slippery here this week (we’ve had 14 inches of snow and it’s still snowing!) and Portlanders aren’t necessarily prepared [...]

Jinx.

I jinxed myself. It  is 20 minutes to 2:00am.  John went to bed at midnight after tending to Hadley since 10:30 and she is still crying.  I just put her down, she seemed to be sleeping but alas, the crying has started……again. Yikes.

Sleep, glorious sleep!

We’ve been having a little trouble getting our little Hadley to sleep before midnight.  She is the total opposite of her mom and dad and likes to party until then.  Unfortunately, it isn’t working for our schedules that she does this. Usually, John tries to put her to bed around 10:00 after she eats.  I [...]

2 weeks old already!

We took Hadley to the pediatrician yesterday for her two week check up and she has gained 12 oz. since leaving the hospital and now weighs in at a whopping 7 lb. 8 oz.  We are getting on some sort of a schedule where she goes to sleep around 9:30 or 10:00 and gets up [...]

Search Engine Optimization…..and Hadley

This is what I get for marrying a SEO marketing consultant. I decided I was going to google Hadley Rose today to see what came up. This blog ranked 8th; not bad hon, but it could be better. I ran across a website for a children’s musician called “Piano Man”. On his album titled “Add [...]

We’re having a baby. Tomorrow.

I haven’t gone into labor yet, so unless Miss McPhee decides to come on her own today, we will be driving to the hospital in 24 hours to have a baby.  I’m up early because John’s heading in to work soon but I will be back in bed to sleep in for perhaps one more [...]

Appointment update…

John and I just got back from Dr. Cohen’s office.  She was surprised that we haven’t delivered yet and had been calling the hospital daily to see if I was there.  It was the usual appointment as far as weight, blood pressure and fetal heartbeat and then she checked my dilation and effacement again and [...]

Happy Due Date to me!

Here it is, the LAST belly pic at 40 weeks. Well, I’m hoping it’s the last one! It’s our due date today. I remember reading when I first got pregnant that it’s really a due month, not a due date. You can expect to open the date range up to one week before and one [...]

It’s Monday…..

….and I’m still pregnant! My OB thought it was going to be this weekend after our doctors appointment on Friday but that just goes to show we are on little baby McPhee’s time now. There is no telling when she is ready. The good news is that I’m already 4cm dilated and 100% effaced, so [...]
