The many faces of Cole.
Hey all..
So - we are 5 days into this new journey and all is well and humming along sleeplessly :). I will give you a little walk through the week.
*Saturday evening - Irregular contractions start
*Sunday morning - Irregular contractions continue and become a bit more regular but still pretty spread out
*Sunday afternoom - head out for a distracting brunch & walk through H&M and the mall.
*Sunday evening - Things picking up & more intense. Get through the night with amazing support (Susan (mom), Janna & Midwife)
*Head to the hospital around 7AM
*Meet Cole face to face just after 1 PM, Monday, Sept 7/09.
*Thrilled that he has daddy's hair. Already hair product shopping for him...
*Tears, exhaustion, pictures, family & cuddling with our new son all are in abundance.
Tuesday - Cochran family over from the island and Anna in from Sun Peaks. Have a great day with them and Cole seems to be a big fan of everyone he met.
Wednesday to Current - much feeding, learning, sleeping, not sleeping, family, eating, cuddling, more learning, more eating, less sleeping...
All told - this has been quite the week thus far. We are absolutely in love with Cole and are so stoked for each of you to meet him. More photos & posts coming soon..
Until then, enjoy your sleep tonite. Cause I'm trying to :).
Gordie.

Pre Labor Fun
Just wanted to quickly give everyone the latest update... We're going to White Spot for brunch!
But seriously... I think right now we are in the pre-labor phase of the journey. I've been having contractions since last night, but nothing too major (hence the blog post and the brunch). We're going to Coquitlam because for some reason I feel the need to go to Sephora today. So........ yeah nothing happening really. For comedic purposes, Gordie really wants the baby to be born on Labor Day. Hilarious. Perhaps his wish will be granted.

Due Date
Our due date came and went without much excitement... Technically our midwife is saying today is the due date so I'm hoping for some baby action at some point. I tried really hard to not think about the whole baby thing yesterday, but I am starting to get a bit antsy. My parents are here, Gordie's parents are waiting patiently in Victoria and I have a lot of well meaning strangers telling me how I can induce labor (it's not annoying at all).
Health wise, baby is doing well and so am I. We had what I'm hoping is our last prenatal appointment yesterday and found out the baby is probably between eight and nine pounds. Disturbing. Apparently it also has chubby thighs.
I actually feel great minus the crazy insomnia of the last week. I can't seem to sleep more than a few hours at a time, which is extremely frustrating as I know the whole "no sleep" thing is looming in the very near future. I have been waking up around 4:30 most mornings and basically doing whatever I can to make myself sleepy again. So far this morning I've read a magazine, stared at the wall and painted my nails. I'm hoping that doing this blog post will lull me back to sleep. Wish me luck...

September
So our baby did not surprise me on my birthday... too bad. I did have a really great day though. It's just hard to focus on anything other than the fact that any time now I will have to push a baby out of my body. Yikes.
Here's the latest, and perhaps the last belly shot. My friend told me yesterday that my belly looks like it's grown since last week so I thought I'd better document it. I didn't think it could possibly get bigger. An employee at a coffee shop told me I looked like I was about to explode. How kind. Who knows, maybe the next pictures we post will be of our little monkey...
