Nathan Edward Schwarz

I'm writing a post for Lee and Sarah since they are busy getting to know their new little man. Nathan Edward was born this morning (Sept. 22nd) at 5:39am. He weighed 8 lbs 2 oz and was 20 1/4 inches long. Sarah will be home on Wednesday so I'm sure she will have much more too share. Until then, keep them in your prayers and enjoy the pictures. Check out the excited new big brother! :o)

(Sorry, Eli and I are in this picture. Like I said, Sarah will have more when she gets home.)

Baby Update

Well the countdown is on. There are officially 9 more days unitl I'm due. I had an appointment yesterday. The good news is that I was 1cm dilated and I didn't gain any weight. The bad news.... the doctor said women usually follow their previous pregnancies. So that means since Zach was late there is a good possibility that this baby could be late. I really didn't want to hear that because I really just want to get this over with. The doctor said that if I go past my due date that they have some kind of gel that they can insert that might help get labor started. Maybe this baby is holding out for Oct 5, so he and dad can have the same birthday. Or possibly the 6th so he can share his birthday with his cousin Brody. I wanted to do a poll on when people think I will go, but I'm not really sure on how to do it with this blog site. I'll have to ask my computer specialist.

Baby Update

I have been slacking on my baby updates. Last week was my last two week appt. I gained 5 lbs in those two weeks. How is that possible? Anyway today was to have been my first weekly appt. but an hour before they called to cancel due to emergency surgery. So my appt isn't until Monday. I hate to say I was looking forward to it (because it was an internal) but I wanted to see if any progress has been made. This past week I've been extremely tired and having a lot of lower back pain and waking up with cramps in the middle of the night. Hopefully something is going on!!!
