Cole Scott Thompson Has Arrived

Here is a picture before he came... I am swollen with all the pitosin, antibiotics, fluids, etc. My mom flew in the day before so she could be there for the birth of her first grandson, and help me out for 9 days.Born: September 20th

Weight: 7 lbs, 7 ounces

Length: 20 1/2 inches

Time: 12:41pm

After 4 pushes through 2 contractions he was born quick. He hardly cried when he came out, and still seems to be a very calm mannered baby. We still have yet to hear a real scream.

The proud father and his little junior.
First glances at one another...

His hair came out really dark and curly, but after his bath his hair stuck up straight. We are so grateful and feel so blessed to have a healthy little one.

5 Days... and counting!

Saturday is still the day I'm getting induced, but it seems so far away being only Monday right now. I finally finished Cole's room over the weekend, and feel that I'm ready for him to come now... right now.

Baby Update

YEAH! So, my baby did as I told him and turned for me head down. And I'm progressing enough (50% effaced and dialated to a 2) that I am scheduled to be enduced the morning of the 20th, unless he comes before then on his own. Only 2 weeks and 2 days left! We are so excited to meet this little guy. And according to the ultrasound this week he is measuring in the 80th percentile and weighing 7 pounds 2 ounces already... so he'll probably end up being bigger than Ella's birth weight.

On Saturday we went to the Indianapolis Zoo. Ella said the whole time in the car, "amals."

We saw the zebras, the rhinos, the giraffes, the monkeys, and more. Ella loved every minute of it.

36 Weeks!

Here is my belly at 36 weeks, only 1 month to go! Well, as of 2 weeks ago my baby was breeched. So I'm praying that he was a good little boy and turned for me, but we'll find out on Tuesday.
Jenna: Thanks a bunch for this outfit... very nice. And I told you it would fit me until the end!

"Fwim Fwim"

Since my car has been in the shop for the past 6 days, and for another 2 days... we have been stuck at home with nothing to do except for walks to the park and SWIMMING! She pronounces it: "Fwim Fwim!"

She loves to wear these goggles around the pool outside, who cares what they're really for!

She also has fun walking around the backyard watering our dying grass and small garden.

Getting Ready

I have been really excited to get the boy's baby room put together. So far I have the crib bedding with matching changing pad (Thanks mom a bunch for the gift!) and the dresser (which we painted and put new knobs on), the glider chair, a baby swing, bouncer, and a...

Bassinet! I am really excited about this purchase. I've been searching for one for a while on Craig's list and at garage sales since I didn't want to spend too much on one, but I wanted a nice one that would last longer than just one kid... and I found this antique bassinet. The lady was asking $50 for it, since it's genuinely an antique (trust me, I checked) but I got her down to only $25!!
So, I still need to do some more to the room, since the walls are aboslutely bare. I want to find some picture frames and shelving for the walls. So, you'll see an updated picture of my baby's room when it gets into September I'm sure.

Rascal's Fun Zone

For family night we went to a place in town called Rascal's Fun Zone, where they have miniature golf, an indoor and outdoor track for go-karts, water boat blasters, arcades, and more.

We did the mini bowling, where you use these little rock bowling balls. I liked it because they had automatic bumpers for kids.

Ella really got into it, she would throw her hands up and scream "YEAH" everytime she rolled the ball, and then covered her mouth while waiting for the ball to roll down the lane to see how many pins she could hit.

We let her go on a few rides as well.

Birthday Presents

Ella has gotten a couple birthday packages in the mail, since we live so far away from family now. She loves opening presents! Thank you so much everyone for sending them!
This is the package Grandma & Grandpa Thompson sent her.

Nanna Christie also sent her a package a couple weeks ago, filled with lots of candy, books, p.j.'s, cinderella phone and magna-doodle.

This was her biggest present this year.
She loves to do her make-up and hair infront of the mirror... just like mommy!
