What a week!

Sorry I haven't updated yet. This week has truly been an emotional rollercoaster for our family. Easton is doing great and the sweetest baby boy ever! I couldn't ask for an easier baby. He is very laid back so far and only cries when something is wrong. And as soon as you fix the problem he is happy again. So if he cries it is usually because he is either hungry or needs a diaper change. I am so blessed!

This week has been pretty rough for us though. Our baby Sage had a major episode of multiple seizures on Tuesday. She has been fighting for her life all week. It has literally been an hour by hour wait and see. Her seizures lasted off and on for 10 hours before they were able to get her to a stable condition. Chris and I spent the week getting up early in the morning to transport her to and from the emergency hospital back to our regular vet. And then taking her back again in the evening to the emergency facility. She is doing much better today and they have gotten her on her oral meds now that she will be on the rest of her life. It has been a really rough time for Chris and I as many of you know how much we love our dogs and they truly are our first babies. She most likely won't ever be the "same" dog anymore as the medication will slow her down a bit. But I have no doubt that our love for her will not change and if anything she is just going to be more spoiled now! Grace has been really taking it hard this week. Today she isn't wanting to eat so I am anxious to get Sage home so she knows she is ok. I will keep you all posted and once things slow down I will write in detail all about our precious baby boy. He is truly a gift from God and we couldn't ask for a better baby. He blows me away with how sweet he is. I am in total aww!

Please keep us in your prayers over the next few weeks as this medicine takes its course on Sage. We are praying that she responds well and stays seizure free.

Here are some updated photos of Little E. I will post soon.

We are Home!

We just got home today and we are all doing great! Easton is healthy and the sweetest little boy ever! Just so in love with him. Here are a few pictures and next week I will write a detailed blog catching everyone up and have more photos to share. Until then...meet our new little arrival.... Easton Carter Fields!!!

Easton has arrived!

Hi guys,
Just wanted to send a quick update. Easton was born on October 28th (his actual due date) at 4:21pm. He weighed 8lbs., 9oz. Nicole and Easton are doing great.

More updates soon!

39 weeks - 2 More weeks MAX!

Yesterday I had my 39 week appointment. There was a little progress but not as much as I was hoping for. Everything was about the same but my effacement moved from 25% to almost 50%. But still dilated at about a 1...she said that it may be a little over a 1 but not much. So basically not much to report on the progress. I also had another ultrasound and his growth is starting to taper off. He was measuring over 7 lbs. I can't remember how many ounces she said. I will need to go back and watch the DVD and see what the screen said. My brain is not retaining information very well right now. HA! She did say that at my next appt. (which is next Tuesday) if Easton still hasn't arrived we would schedule an induction. I am really hoping I either make some progress or he comes on his own. She said at this point, if she were to induce, I would be at high risk for a C-Section. I of course will do what ever is in his best interest, but I am hoping he just makes his big appearance on his own. Preferably the sooner the better! I would think that he would be ready, he looks so uncomfortable in there. His head is so squished. I have a feeling that his head may be a funky shape for a while. OH...and the ultrasound lady talked about what chubby cheeks he has. You can see them in the ultrasound very clearly. Maybe that means he will be a good eater. Well I will keep you posted. In the mean time, please pray that he comes on his own in the next week. And if I can be picky...specifically pray that he is not born on Halloween. ha! But as long as he is healthy, I guess that is all that matters.

Last Week of Work

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Our weekend was good. We ended up having a pretty low key weekend with our only big outing was to go to Parker’s 1st bday party…which by the way, Erin, was so fun. Talk about perfect weather and good company. The rest of the weekend we ran some errands and just relaxed. I was going to go with Chris to his friend’s wedding but I totally bailed on him. I didn’t sleep at all on Saturday night (prob. 1 or 2 hours max all together) and woke up feeling like I had been run over by a truck on Sunday. So I spent the day in my pjs just relaxing. Got a few cat naps here and there but that was about it. Lets face it…I don’t know what sleep is anymore. Which brings me to…. This is my last week of work! Hopefully little E will come before Friday, but if not…I will still start my maternity leave regardless. I am ready to be done. I have been pretty bored at work lately because they aren’t giving me any projects knowing that I won’t be here to finish them. So my days consist of searching the web. So if anyone knows any fun websites to look at..send them my way. THANKS! I know this week is only my 39th week, but I am seriously beginning to wonder if he will come on his own. I really don’t want to be induced…but I guess we will just wait and see what happens. I will keep you posted. Pray that E makes his big appearance this week.

38 weeks - Still waiting

I had my 38 week appt. yesterday. Basically nothing new to report. Still the same 1 cm dilated and 25% effaced. It was a little discouraging but my Doctor reminded me that it really doesn't mean anything. That he could still come tomorrow. I guess I just like to know something is happening. I am just so ready to meet this little guy. But I guess at the same time, the longer he bakes the better off he will be. He needs to come when he is ready..I just wish he and I would get on the same page.

So has anyone out there stayed the same for weeks and then had there baby quickly after that? Any hope would help as I am just READY! ha.

Other than that, nothing else really to report. Trying to just enjoy this time with Chris. We have a busy weekend this weekend with Little P's bday party...Can't wait and a wedding to go to for one of Chris's good friends from college. Somehow getting all dressed up right now doesn't seem that fun, but I will try my best.
