Wesley's Birth:

Ok, so I know that Wesley is almost 5 months but I still haven't put pictures up of when we were in the hopital. Sorry to those people who don't really care!!

My last weekly appt. at my doctors office was a week before I had Wesley. I was 5 cms at that appt. & my dr. said that I could go into labor at any moment. So since my mom lives 2 hours away she decided to come down. She came that night. Because of all the fires around us we couldn't walk out side so we walked a couple of miles everyday on the treadmill, walked the mall & went to Costco. Nothing did if for me. Sunday {which was my due} date came and still no baby so my mom decided to head back home. That Monday night Patrick & I watched Pirates of the Caribbean until like 1 in the morning until I got tired & went to bed. Around 4 in the morning I woke up to do my nightly routine & I was having contractions but not too bad. They were never the same distance between them. So I climbed back into bed & I didn't want to wake Patrick up. Everytime that I got up he thought I was going into labor. So I was laying there but couldn't go to sleep because they were starting to get really painful. I woke Patrick up & he called my mom to get ready & called his parents too. I got ready myself & at 6 AM we were off to the hopital. When we got there they wanted to put me in the pre-delivery room to see if I was really in labor because I could still walk & talk. When the found out I was 5 cms a week prior to that they put me right into the delivery room. They were taking there sweet time & about 45 mins later they checked me & I was 8 cms. The look on the nurse's face was panic. They got everything ready for the delivery & at 8 they broke my water. Patrick's mom was in the room with us & I was so thankful for that. My mom got there within 10 mins of him being born. We was born at 9:07 & was 8 lbs 11 oz. When I saw him I new he was a big boy & I couldn't believe that I had that big of baby. Due to the fires in Paradise, the hospital there was closed so it was extremely busy there. I had to share a room with another mom for only a couple of hours so I can't complain. We had a lot of family & friends come by to visit. We left at 11 AM the very next morning so I was so happy about that. I don't really like hospitals that well. You can't sleep & you don't have any privacy. When we were driving home from the hospital it finally hit me that he was mine & he wasn't going anywhere. Patrick & I love him so much & he is such a blessing in our lives!!! The following are pictures right before & after he was born. I wish that we had more before but everything went really fast I didn't even think of it.

This is how big my belly was right before I gave birth. I can't believe that I got that big and the funny thing is I can't really remember.

Right after Wesley was born at 9:07. It looks like I had a black eye. No one told me that my make-up was running!! Nice

Patrick with Wesley right before we went home with our new little family!!

Wesley in his first little outfit. I can't believe that he was that tiny, I can't even remember that.

I love this picture. He loved his hands the second he was born. But the bad thing was he scratched himself all the time. His hands are enormous!!

Wesley with his gloves when we got home. He hated them because he couldn't put his fingers in his mouth. We figured that out around 2 or 3 in the morning!! I never used them after that.

Wesley after his first sponge bath!! He didn't mind it but he sure loves baths in his tube better!! I was so happy when we finally graduated from that.
