Weston Joseph Filipovitz

Update...this is his first picture on June 10th....

Weston Joseph Filipovitz was born June 9, 2009 @ 11:16pm...7 lbs 8 oz...21 inches...He has a head of black hair. I'll post more pictures later today or tomorrow of his first day in the world...And Weston looks just like his Dad :)

This picture was taken after the first hour of labor...we took one every hour---for 16 hours! Don't worry, I'm not going to post all 16 pics...each one gets progressively worse, ha.

Update....

We went to the Doctor this morning...Exciting news...it appears that we will be inducing on Tuesday, June 9th! ! ! The due date! They said they aren't worried about my health, or the baby's, but in their words, "It's time". So, the option to induce has been put on the table and we accepted it with open arms. We will be heading to Centennial Women's Hospital at 5:00am on Tuesday morning to get the labor started. There is still hope that baby will want to make an appearance before Tuesday...but if not, we know that Tuesday will be his birth day!!

Thank you to everyone...especially those of you who have been a part of this journey the entire time. We love you and appreciate you so much!

When we blog again, we'll be parents! Ahh!! :)

39 Weeks Along....1 Week To Go

Carson came to Nashville! He came on Saturday and left today :( Time definitely passed more quickly while he was here. Thank you for coming, Brother! It was so nice to have him here and take my mind off of the waiting game I'm playing. We didn't do too much, as most things are off limits to me, ha...but we grilled, watched movies, played board games, etc...it was SO nice. The picture above was taken at Loveless Cafe on Sunday...I'm just holding a little post-it that says 39 weeks so we'll be able to tell down the road how far along I was when the picture was taken. I wish I'd done this every week---when I look back at my pictures over the pregnancy, I wonder how far along I was when it was taken...

The 7 day countdown to our due date has begun. 7 days! Amazing...although it's only a week away, it appears Baby Flip still doesn't want to make his appearance. I hope he comes before/by the due date...but I'm realizing he may stay in the comfort of my tummy up to a week after. The light at the end of the tunnel is based on my Dr's words..."I don't want him to stay in there too long after the due date, a week maximum." So, at least we know that by the 16th of June, we will have a baby...and no later. Yay!

We go back to the Dr on Thursday...I'll post an update after the appointment. Have a great week!
