I forgot to add these.... I love bath time with him. He just loves being in the water. I think he would sleep in his tub if he could:)

Time flies when you.... have a baby?

It has already been a month since Will was born. It really doesn't seem like it's been that long. I realized that I will be going back to work in 8 weeks! CRAP! I'm torn. Part of me doesn't want to go back but another part if me would like to. I guess working part-time would be ideal but that is not an option. I carry all the medical, dental, etc. and even after the daycare costs I would still be bringing home money. So I guess I know what I will be doing.

William Jeffrey Sauvageau

William Jeffrey is here. Born February 22, 2009 at 5:46pm. 6lbs. 6oz. 20 inches long. Labor didn't seem long. I spent most of it at home. We got to the hospital around 3pm and by 5pm I was pushing. It's so strange to be home with him. We spent 9 months preparing and wondering what he would look like. It has really changed our lives, for the best. We spend our nights watching him sleep and laughing at all his facial expressions and noises.
Sometimes I feel a bit overwhelmed. It's the realization that we are responsible for him and raising him. It's quite the scary thought. I mostly just try to take it one day at a time and not freak out!

Almost done...

We will be able to paint Will's room by this weekend! I'm so stinkin' excited! It seems like it has taken forever but the guy said he should be finishing it up by tomorrow. So I figure by Friday we can start painting. Then it's carpet, closet organizer and then all his stuff gets moved in:) It will be so much more real! I've been wanting to put his stuff away for the last week. I feel a strong urge to "nest" over this past week. I'm hoping that's due to the room being almost ready and not Will being ready to make his entrance! I will be posting pictures of newly painted room hopefully by next week!

So I'm gonna start having a panic attack soon. We still have not laid carpet or painted Will's room! I am T minus 6 weeks away from his arrival and there is so much to do. The room still needs to be tapped and muded one more time but my uncle has gone MIA so now we have to get someone else to do it. Since my Dad is shelling out the money up front for this work to get done I'm trying not to get on his case but I can't be painted the room when I'm huge pregnant!
I went to the doctor today. I start weekly appts in two weeks! I'm already near the weight limit and I have 6 weeks to go so I decided to ask my doctor if that was bad. She said she wasn't concerned. She doesn't think I'll be gaining much more weight. We'll see about that! My new favorite thing is ice cream..... which I prefer to call "ASS" cream since it's going straight to my ass!
I'm a little worried about having post-pardum. I find myself already feeling overwhellmingly sad at times for no real reason. I know it's hormonal so I can usually cope with it. Once Will is here though I won't have the time to talk myslef down. The good news is Jeff can take up to 8 weeks of paternity leave. He can use vacation time and sick time. He already has over 60 hours of sick time accrued so we're thinking he'll take three weeks off. I'm so happy. It will be so nice to have him around for the first few weeks. We can double team everything and maybe we'll even get some sleep!

Tag you're it... or wait there is no else to be it....

The task is to take the sixth folder on your comp and pull up the sixth pic and describe it. Then, tag four others. Jessie tagged me and I would tag four others but Jessie and Martie are my only "blogging buddies":)

This pic was taken at Bennigan's on my 24th birthday (June 11, 2007). It's Michelle, me, Jeff, Casey and Jonesy. I forgot how long my hair was then! It has taken me almost 2 years to get it back to that length! Yikes! I also just noticed that my face looks very round:/ Although, I did enjoy Jeff's hair long I'm kinda glad he went back to it being short:)

Every year I try to get better and better about the Christmas present thing. I thought for sure this year I had it under control. I started shopping in November. Now we are only 16 days away from Christmas and I still have stuff to get and the money supply is quite low. Plus one of the family Christmas gatherings is on the 20th so I have even less time to buy for that!
Once again this year I am going to have to tell Jeff that we can't get Christmas presents for each other. I hate doing that but I don't think we can afford it. I had some really good ideas for him this year:(
We won't get a break after Christmas because it's both of his brother's birthdays plus his Dad's and his aunt's. There is four more presents to buy. Not to mention that after Christmas it will be eight weeks until Will arrives. We still have stuff to buy for his room and I don't even have the mattress for the crib purchased yet!
I just want to stay in bed today and try to forget all these things. Unfortunately, I have to work and I just feel like being in sweatpants... and I have this uncontrollable urge to just cry!
