Well, it seems like last week was "the" week to have a baby boy. Caroline and Jeremy had there Jasper on Thursday. My step-dad's nephew welcomed his son Memphis on Wednesday, and Josh's cousin Deidre had her little Ellis on Friday. Three days, three boys. Memphis and Jasper had more than just their city names in common. Both were born via c-section, and both were 9lb-plus babies. Ellis was just under 7 lbs, and I was told Deidre had a very smooth delivery this time around.
Most of my attention last week was on Jasper and his parents. Caroline called me Wednesday morning after her water broke. I'm sure there's a joke in the fact that it all happened with a sneeze. Maybe the punch line could be, "God bless you!" And God surely did bless them with a miracle. Jasper is stubborn...he was finally taken by c-section more than 29 hours after her water broke. He is definitely male...his sense of direction isn't that great...apparently he didn't have a birth canal map. He is fiesty...he wouldn't put up with the oxygen nose tube. He is big...he grew out of newborn diapers in one day. He is precious...and he is finally at home with his parents. Congrats to the Adams Family! Josh and I are so happy for the 3 of you, and we can't wait to visit all 3 of you next time we are in town.
Josh and I traveled to Birmingham on Friday to not only visit with Caroline and Jeremy but also to see my dad on his birthday and watch my step-brother play football. We watched Taylor's team get beat on Friday night...it was their first loss this year. I guess we jinxed it. Saturday morning after breakfast with Dad and Danyel, we visited Jeremy and Caroline at the hospital. Jasper was still in the NICU, but he was off oxygen and doing good. After visiting for a bit, we met Mom, Bruce, and Ashley for some Jim N Nick's. Yum! I was craving BBQ so bad! We headed home a bit later, and we got back in time for Josh to watch the rest of the Auburn game. Yesterday we actually got some things done around the house. It looks and smells so nice! I'm hoping the cleanliness around me will encourage me to tackle one of the 3 closets that need to be cleaned out. We will see.
As for this week, well, it will probably be the longest week EVER! We go for our ultrasound on Friday, and we can't wait to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. The hours will creep by until then. Last week I finally felt the baby kicking...it was so exciting! I can't wait until Josh can feel it kicking on the outside...hopefully it will happen soon. I know he is getting antsy.
