We did it!

Jayden Paul Birth Day 2009

Look at that chin

Just chill'n with mom

Jayden Paul Aston

Born: April 21st 2009. 6:43pm. 7 lbs 3 oz 20.5 in.

Our family has now started. These are the pictures that we have from the first couple days at home and the hospital. He is a very healthy eater and sleeper. Mommy, Daddy and Baby are doing great. He is such a wonderful gift.

Overdue

This is just a waiting game now. I was due on the 13th. I went to the doctor on the 14th and if I don't go into labor by the 20th, I'm going to be induced. I will stay in the hospital overnight and my labor will be over on Tuesday.
So, I guess it can only be so much longer until this is all over with.

Easter around the corner

Beware of Identity theft this Easter!

Just a few more days... til Easter and for this baby.
It would be nice if you came out this weekend and everyone could meet you while they were in town for Easter Jayden. Just a thought kiddo. You have been so good this whole time. You even got through your first car accident. What a champ. Since you are so well behaved, I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. See you soon.

Holy cow did a car just hit me?

So, I'm driving along the 55 fwy south. Actually... I was in true California highway form (at a trafficy complete stop)
And wadda know... No screeching. No abrupt stop made by me. Just an SUV slamming into the back of my little red car. I was speechless. Called the CHP. Then, in true pregnant form, I cried for about 10 minutes.
The culprit? Mr. Mukutmoni. A little Indian man born in 1930!
So, the police report was made and information was exchanged.
I was actually on my way to see my OB Doc. (I'm going once a week now) So, I just went to my appointment. They give me an exam and rushed me off to get blood work, ultrasound, and fetal monitoring. I was getting nervous that they thought I needed so many tests. I called Paul at work and let him know that they were giving me a bunch of tests and I think when he heard that, he freaked a little. I think it was when I said, "They are testing for internal bleeding."
My mother thought I was playing an April fools on her. My phone wasn't getting reception and I had to go from office to office quickly. So, no one could really get a hold of me. I think that my mom and Paul were pretty relieved when they were finally able to get the full story when they found me on the fetal monitor in a different office. Her face was white and Paul looked stressed. aw...
It was a memorable April 1st. A part of me was hoping to be dilated. But, I can wait.
My neck and back are sore, but the baby is safe. I'm just glad that he was in my belly and not in the car seat in the back. If the airbags deployed it would have been messy. There is about 2k of damage to the car. But, it is drivable and I have been going through the insurance hoops.
Thank you Mr. Mukutmoni! I don't think he even realized that he hit a 9 month prgnant lady. Those were some serious glasses he was wearing. 80 years old... Maybe its time to stop driving sir.
