Nicholas Ryan Lee

Okay, so I am extremely behind in posting! We had Nicholas Ryan Lee on October 12th at 8:31 p.m. He has 10 fingers and 10 toes and is absolutely perfect! There were so many family members and friends at the hospital to help welcome him into the world and it meant so much to us! He weighed 7 lbs 7 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long! Since then he has grown so much! We had his one month check up yesterday and he is now 9 lbs 9 oz and 22 inches long. He eats wonderfully and is now only waking up once during the night to eat around 2-3! (which is SO much better than his 1 and 4 feedings the first couple of weeks)! Being a mommy has to be the most rewarding and amazing thing! Ryan and I enjoy every second with Nicholas and are excited about all the things to come! Here are a few pics of our precious baby boy!

Dr visit

So I have been going to the Dr every week on Tuesday for awhile now. This last visit I was really hoping for some progress. Last week I was 50% effaced and had not dilated. This week (37 weeks and 5 days) I was 90% effaced and 2 cm dilated! Yay for progress! She said Nicholas had a good sense of direction and was head down. Hopefully big man is getting ready for his debut into this world! Once again we appreciate all the love and support from family and friends!

Family Shower

Ryan's sisters, sister in law, and cousin hosted a family shower for us. Once again there was great food and a good time! It was so wonderful to have all my family and Ryan's family there to celebrate in this special time with us. Nicholas recieved great gifts and I swear he has more clothes than I do now!! It means so much to us to have all this love and support during this time!

Wonderful hostesses!

The new momma and the momma to be!

Baby Shower

Once again, I am late posting. We were given a shower by Ryan's office about two weeks ago. It was so sweet of them and the two big gifts were our highchair and infant seat! Nicholas also recieved lots of clothes and other essentials. And of course...there was cake!

Shower

This past Sunday several of my good friends hosted a baby shower for me (and Nicholas!). It was so much fun and I am grateful to everyone that was able to come! Nicholas got many wonderful things and I can't wait for him to be here so we can use them all! I was super excited about the gift from the hostesses...my pack n play! Overall it was a great day and really meant alot to me. I am so thankful for my amazing friends and family!


My wonderful hostesses!

Baby Shower

Our Sunday School class had a couples shower for us last Friday. It was our first baby shower and we were so excited! We had a great turnout and had lots of fun. One of the best things though was when my family walked in the door. I knew my parents and Logan were coming, but Liza had said she wasn't coming home that weekend from school. However when my family came in Liza was with them! It was a total surprise and I was very excited to have them all there during this special and exciting time! My dad had the video camera (of course) and my mom took several pictures. Here are just a few.








We want to thank our class and church for all their love and support during this time!

Great News!

I had another appt this past Tuesday. After my last visit I have been really trying to take it easy and eat right. Well today I had NO protein in my urine and I actually LOST a pound! Yay! The Dr said I must be following her orders. She said my bp was still up a little and so she wanted me to continue to take it easy on my days off. But no bedrest! I have to start going back to the dr every week now. I'm sure that will make time go by faster! I can't believe we are 35 weeks...time has really flown by! The nursery is coming along...my dad went with me this past weekend and we bought a glider. So everything is done except for hanging some things on the wall! I love just sitting in Nicholas's room and looking around. Its hard to believe that in no longer than five weeks we will have a baby boy! We truly feel blessed and pray these last few weeks go smoothly!
