Its a BOY!!

We did it! We had our sweet baby! Meet Evan Blair Lassiter. He was born Monday, June 21st at 12:24 pm. Weighing in at 8lbs 15oz and 22 inches long. Big Boy! We went to the hospital Sunday night to be induced and Monday we became a parents! I really progressed fast and didnt have to push very long. He was really ready to meet us. I had some issues after he was born. (long scary story) but I am fine now and he is perfect and healthy. We are so happy to have him home with us and watch him grow. We can't wait to spoil him with love and support. Here are some photos!

Here is our Room...and my huge belly.

He was so super clean before they even cleaned him off!Close Up...

Daddy and Baby Evan!

Peace out dudes.

We are heading home...I have the cutest froggy outfit on!

Our neighbors decorated our front door and got us this yard sign!

Hanging out...look how cute I am.

This is mr. evan after his first bath at home.

Ready or Not Here We Go...

Well, today is the day. Brian and I heading to the hospital tonight to be induced first thing in the morning. Pretty hard to believe tomorrow we will be parents. Not only will we get to experience the miracle of life...we will finally get to find out if shim is a she or a he! When this entire process started I never expected to see my due date come and go. But there is a bit of peace just walking into the hospital on my own will and letting the doctors take care of me. So many emotions are running through my body. Excited, Scared, Nervous, Love, and on and on. Next time I post something I will be introducing the blog world to our baby!

Love everyone! I have to be at the hospital in 5 short hours. Gotta go shave these legs :)

End in Sight

Well, I will have this baby someday. Although it doesnt feel like it.

I went to the doctor yesterday and I have started dialating so that is progress. We also scheduled the induce date :) I would go into the hospital on the evening of the 20th, and start the induce process first thing in the morning on the 21st. So if shim doesnt come out before then his or her birthday will be June, 21, 2010 :)

Although I want them to come out any day....it is so nice to know that it is only 10 more days max!!!!

MIA

sorry i have been missing from the blog world.

I am just busy not working and waiting for this giant baby to show up. Once shim is born I will actually have exciting news to post about.

Instead all I have are things like, yesterday I cleaned the house with my moms help, tomorrow I am going to the grocery, haha boring.

Hopefully shim will be making his or her debut soon. Not only for my sanity at home but if not he or she is going to be going to the world record on worlds largest baby.

All good things come to an end

Yep....My last day of work is this friday. I have been working as a marketing coordinator for The Precedent Companies for the past 4 years. It at times was hard, stressful, I would complain, etc but all in all it has been wonderful. The economy is getting the best of us and I have been laid off. I have made it serveral rounds of lay offs and now it is time to send me home. It is bittersweet to say the least. Brian and I are busy getting ready for baby shim and that is all that really matters. But as someone who has always had a job...it is hard to be told not to come anymore even if it is a good thing.

This is a picture of me during happier times in my office. I met alot of wonderful people at work, made some close friends and gained knowledge that I never had before. So long workforce.....hello unemployment and motherhood :)

Ultrasound Photo

Here is the photo from the post above. I forgot a disc when I went to the doctor so I had to scan it. Here is a profile. Its little mouth is kinda open. So cute.

Shim Update

I need to post the photos but I am at home and they are at work. I will post soon I promise.
We had an regular doctor appointment last week and an ultrasound because I am measuring large. (surprise...if you have seen me lately you would know that is true!!)

The appointment went well. everything was normal. We did find out from the ultrasound that Shim is large. Measuring about 3 weeks larger than he or she really is. We also learned that he or she has alot of hair already. We are going to have another ultrasound at 36 weeks (right now I am 33) to monitor the size and then again at 38 weeks if we havent had the baby yet.

I am getting a big uncomfortable now. It is harder to breath and get comfy when sitting now. We are getting all ready for Shim...we cant wait to meet him or her and introduce all of you to shim!
