Baby update
So, I realized I haven't written much about the baby. I think because I've been so busy with showers and I'm way more tired than I use to be. The baby is doing well; his mom on the other hand.....I'm SORE. On Saturday night at about 1 am I started having real contractions every 7 minutes for an hour--they hurt like heck! I was so excited thinking I could very well have this baby. but at 2am they stopped....and didn't come back. then lighter contractions were going on pretty sporadically through out the rest of the night and since then, I have been so crampy and the Braxton Hicks contractions are more frequent than ever. I spoke to the doctor on call on Sunday and he told me to stay home from church just in case more contractions started, but they didn't. So, on Monday when I went to work, my OB checked my cervix because she caught wind of what happened and come to find out the contractions weren't a complete loss. I had dilated to a 1 and I am 75% efaced. So, that's good news. I never imagined the last week being so long and sore. There is so much pressure in my pelvis right now and I have been so crampy. My legs are sore and tired after work-like I just ran a marathon. I think it is now starting to take a toll on my body. BUT, I have to say, I am so so so excited for the not-so-far-away day Patrick and I get to hold our precious son in our arms and look at him. How blessed we are that Heavenly Father trusted Patrick and I to have this baby; for us to be his earthly parents. Every ache and pain and every minute of sleep lost has and will be worth it.

Hey Hilary. It sounds like you're having an awful time. I hope all will get better and more comfortable for you soon. If there's anything Jeremy and I can do to help, just let us know. We're looking forward to meeting your baby boy!
Oh my heck Hil!It does not sound like you are having a fun time at all but I will let you know that it is worth it and just think in about a year and a half you'll want to be pregnant with another one LOL! It is crazy how the lord makes you forget so easily. Well if I don't see you at Ava's party then I will know that little Ganon has arrived! Good luck and let me know if you need anything!
Hilary, I so completely understand. The last few weeks are horribly uncomfortable and hard to get through. But Ganon will be here before you know it, and like you said, he is definitely worth it. It's true too the Lord blesses us mothers with "amnesia" after our babes are born. Otherwise, we'd probably never do it again! lol
I'm glad to see a post from you. I've been thinking about you and hoping for an update. (If you get a minute, email me an update on Dr. C!) I hope you're holding your little man very soon! (((HUGS)))

The last week (then the 1 post date week!) were the hardest for me too! Oh my- so sorry about all the aches and pains! You have the best attitude though- in the end you will only be thinking about your precious boy! (and your new post pardum pains- LOL- sorry!) BUT seriously- all pains will become a dim memory!!
Congratulations Hilary!!! How does it feel to be a mommy?
