Marek Fisher

On April 22^nd, 2014 we welcomed a baby boy into our family.

Just when I thought my heart could not grow anymore, it doubled in an instant.

Marek Fisher was born at 3:29pm, weighing in at 8lbs 12oz and 21.5 inches.

You & Me

If you haven’t already noticed I have changed my blog name once again.  I promise this is the last time.  If you remember the last time I changed my blog name it was because I found out someone personal was reading my blog which I did not want.  I was rushed into picking a new name and never really loved it.

If you knew me personally for any amount of time you would know I am a HUGE lover of Dave Matthews.  You & Me is the title of one of my favorite Dave Matthews Band songs.  Luke and I walked down the aisle to this song after being introduced as Mr. and Mrs.  I cannot explain into words the emotions I have for this song. 

I felt like naming my blog, You & Me, was very fitting.  I started this blog for my children to one day read.  And when they read it they will know it was about me and them, or from their perspective, you & me.

It’s been almost 4 months since I blogged.  I contemplated changing my blog to a private setting when I started blogging again.  Recently there have been several blogs that I used to read that decided to quit and it got me thinking.  Some just quit posting and never said they were going to quit and others posted a farewell post on why they were leaving, most because of the pressure and negativity with blogging.  To my surprise I have had several people email me asking when I was going to start blogging again and how the new baby was.  It made me feel like there were people who enjoyed reading my blog and I couldn’t just disappear, as other bloggers had done to me as a reader. 

So for now my blog will stay public but someday in the future I may shut this little space down and blog privately.

I have a lot to catch up on and I can’t wait to introduce you to the newest addition to our family!

Bump #2- 39 Weeks

These last few weeks I have been crazy busy at work getting ready to start my maternity leave so the blog has been slacking.  I was really hoping to of had this baby by now but he apparently has other plans.  I had Lakelyn exactly one week early so he is already 1 day past her. 

I would really appreciate if everyone had all fingers and toes crossed this baby comes out tonight!  If not then I have an induction date set for Tuesday April 22^nd.

How Far Along:  39 weeks

Size of baby: About the size of a watermelon, 18.9-20.9 inches and 6.2-9.2 lbs.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +40 lbs

Maternity Clothes: All pants and some shirts

Gender: BOY!!

Movement:  Lots of rolls!

Symptoms: Nothing new

Sleep: Still getting up at least once a night to potty sometime twice.

What I miss: Feeling normal, walking at a normal pace, alcohol, wearing normal size clothing…everything!

Cravings: None

Next Appointment: 4/21

Looking forward to: Having this baby!

Differences in last pregnancy: Still felling like this boy is HUGE, I can’t figure out how is laying in there but I think it’s on his side with his feet straight out to the side.

Last Appointment review:  Heart beat was 150, still dilated to a 4.  My doctor guessed I would go into labor in 24-48hrs.  As I write this post we are half an hour from 48hrs, so it’s not looking good!  If he doesn’t make his arrival soon then I am being induced on Tuesday April 22^nd.
