HE'S HERE!!!

Here are a couple pics of our cute little one. He decided to arrive after a very short labor (at least at the hospital) and delivery.

Dominic Junius McEwan arrived at 3:05 am on Wednesday March 23rd. He surprised everyone by being big at 8 lbs 13 oz and measuring 22 inches long. I am really glad he didn't decide to stay in till his due date! Not sure I would have survived delivering him much bigger.

We brought him home yesterday and seem to be adjusting fairly well. I am a bit overwhelmed with the responsibility but simply love him!

Better late than never...

Well, I think I hoped that my last post would be the last one before our little guy arrived...but I guess not. I am now 37 + weeks and I don't see much of an end in sight.

I was just realizing I never posted any thing about my baby showers. My mom and sister were awesome and threw me a baby shower a few weeks ago and it was a LOT of fun! It was so fun to see so many people since I was feeling pretty lonely being on bedrest. We had some fun "minute to win it" games, lots of amazing food, and baby got some fun stuff :)

here is a pick of me looking VERY prego at 35 weeks at the shower:


The super cute cake:




and last but not least some awesome pics of guests at the shower playing our baby version of the minute to win it game "Face the cookie"








I also had a couple really sweet girls in my ward (Melinda, Wendy and Amy) throw me a baby shower for my ward. We at a LOT of chocolate including homemade chocolate fudge and chocolate dipped strawberries. It was very yummy!! It was great to see the sisters in my ward. They are all so amazing and I had missed seeing them at church the last few months.

Now a days I try to go for walks and go out shopping to try and get our little guy to come meet us...but so far he seems quite happy inside :( At least I know that the docs wont let me go past April 8th (but I am hoping to convince them that that is too long...we shall see)

I will try and post again soon
