And boy for this little one to be late he sure got here in a hurry!! Poor Rhonda had to drive me to the hospital and we almost didn't make it! Seriously within 5 minutes of getting to the hospital Owen Ranald Hilligas made his debut! He weighed 8 lbs 5.6 oz and was 22 inches long.

my excuse for not blogging

is that I'm waiting on this baby!! It seemed like things were starting to happen yesterday but then they stopped. I'm heading to the doctor's today to see what's up. Technically I'm only 1 day over but I'm ready to have this little guy! I'll keep everyone posted!

my scrapbook room is done!!

for some reason blogger always adds my pictures in the opposite order that I want. Geez! Anyway here's the after pictures...

And now the before pictures...what a mess!

this one should have been included in my after photos but again, blogger!!

apparently I'm nesting

or so my mom says. I'm just thrilled to be getting a bunch of stuff done and organized. The kids' rooms are done, including the baby's room. All that needs be done in his room is to set up the baby monitor and wash his new sleepers. I'm so anxious to do some scrapbooky/decorations for all of their rooms but I'm a bit held up by the fact that I don't have a scrapbooking space right now. Heck I don't even know where half of my stuff is! I'm going to see if I can convince Ron to set up my desk today, then at least I can start organizing my stuff. It'll be like Christmas all over again especially going through all the bags of stuff that I've gotten over the last 3 months. Just because I didn't have a room didn't mean that I didn't shop ;) I didn't realize how stiffled I was with my creativity without a space of my own. Dragging out some of my stuff to try and create doesn't work well for me.

On to baby news...he's still baking, lol! I've got 2 weeks until my due date and so far I'm feeling ok, some contractions but nothing regular. My doctor checked my yesterday and I'm dilated 1 cm and feeling "soft" but it will be a week or so still. This is fine for me, gives me more time for naps :) I went and got some maternity pictures done this week with a friend of mine. I had lots of fun but was I tired! I'm anxious to see how the pictures turned out. Thank goodness Chantelle can photoshop out stretch marks! After 2 other pregnancies a smooth belly is not always in the making. Of course, I got more stretch marks with Ethan than any of the other 2. He paved the way.
