Have you ever had a day that felt like you got nothing done? That is how yesterday began for me. I was up and at it, hair and make up done, ready to spend a wonderful Family Day with my shorties. By 10 am I was totally spent, and collapsed on the couch for a two hour nap.
I woke briefly at 1230 and made my way upstairs for a quick washroom break which I followed by falling into bed for another 3 hours. I literally could not even force myself to do a thing!
At 330 I finally shook it off and joined my sweet family downstairs for a mid afternoon snack. The teenagers teased me that I only came down because I could smell the nachos and cheese. What can I say?? A nine month pregnant Mama and food are pretty good friends, I am eating for 2 remember?
I must admit, I was caught by surprise at 4 pm when my water broke. I was so happy and relieved that I immediately rushed to my Matty to share the news. He was easily as excited as I, and we were in the car and arriving at hospital by 430.
Long story short, the wee man was born at 807 pm, weighing 7 lbs 15 oz, our biggest baby ever! Now since you’ve been so patient, I will end my story with these…
There’s Daddy holding the newest wee man.
Mama and Babes are tired after a busy afternoon.
Chubs is not too sure that he likes this ‘outside’ stuff.
Nighty night my Quilty friends… We’re heading back to bed. 🙂
Quilty hugs,
Bradie
A Quilty Kind of Girl 
Congratulations! He is beautiful! (And so are you!) xxxx

sounds like a perfect way to spend the day you go in to labor — resting up! Congratulations! My water started leaking about midnight, but I had mowed the lawn earlier that evening! 🙂
I love the picture of the two of you…

Oh Tracey! That ‘mowed the lawn’ totally made me laugh.

It seems when we are close to delivery we become like rabbitts and start making our nests. Rest is a good example for getting ready. I always did that as I got close to delivery. Got all the clothes ready, the room clean, things all in place and then rest. I even made sure we had groceries in the house all set for hubby. Then while I was at the market I went into heavy labor. One hour later our daughter was born. Boy did that scare the people at the market. Congrats on the new precious little one. Sounds like you have plenty of help and support.
