Starting a new blog and starting a new family at the same time. We realized how handy a blog can be to keep family updated after looking at a few friends' blogs. So this is the start of keeping everyone in the loop of what is happening with this branch of the Martinson/Burton/Garner/Church family.
Lucy is doing well...she's moving lots everyday and every night :)
I am still having contractions. They stem from mild to severe...although I'm convinced that I'm not even feeling the mild ones. We've been to the hospital twice for them but no "active" labor yet.
Heather is doing good. She's putting together all the baby stuff we have gotten and is good about indulging the pregnant lady and keeping Lucy and I happy and healthy. She's also gotten very proficient with a stopwatch timing contractions so we know if we need to head back to the hospital at all.
At this point, they are saying the signs to look for labor are perfectly spaced always strong contractions, my water breaking, and dilating.....not sure how we're supposed to know if that happens unless we go to the hospital though :)
She has definitely dropped, eased up on my stomach but sitting firmer on my bladder, so i can eat and drink more finally but i just make more frequent trips to the little girls room...
As far as pets...Zoe loves to sleep on a stuffed duck named Will who is currently residing in Lucy's room, Baby Kitten has become a more frequent visitor at night, we think she's getting that motherly instinct and knows I'm on the verge of giving birth..although she shows it by trying to sit on Lucy. Sophie is enjoying the attention now and the spoiling of her new doggie bed and as of Wednesday will no longer be able to ever be a mom herself. As far as we can tell she seems OK with the idea and has promised in her puppy way to help be another mom to Lucy. Plus she thinks my stomach smells good now...i don't get it....
Well I think I've caught you up on all of us. We look forward to sharing all our fun of the newest addition to our family with you soon!
Stay tuned for updates on labor, delivery and the storks' visit...especially since the hospital has free WiFi!!
