This is Jax and Alivia Eivins...Alivia is 6 weeks older!

Mom, please stop!!

Bathtime is the best!!

Here a few recent photos. Jaxcynn is such a joy to our lives and she is such a happy and fun-loving little girl. She loves bath time!! First thing in the morning and bath time are when she is the happiest of the day. In the mornings she is full of smiles and coos and in the evening when it is bath time this same lovely personality returns. She is truly amazing and I didn't think our lives would ever be this great!!

June 30th

Jaxcynn went to daycare for the first time today...I cried a little bit!! She has been going to the babysitter but it has just been different people in my family and some friends. I am sure she will be just fine.

I will update with some new pictures soon--we have been very busy!

Motherhood...The MOST Amazing Blessing of All!!

She is so wonderful!! We love her so much and could not ask for a better baby. She gets up 1-2 times a night--we think this is pretty good--and sleeps a lot during the day still. Hope you enjoy the pics of our precious baby girl!!

Friday

Well, it is looking more and more like Friday will be the birthday of the baby. Hopefully when they induce me that morning it doesn't take more than 24 hours!! We have been instructed to be there at 6 am, not eating or drinking anything after midnight, and be ready for induction. I am soo ready-although I am really really scared and nervous at the same time. I think I would rather just be surprised, waking up in a puddle of water and rushing to the hospital--this way I would have less time to actually think about the reality of things.

Either way, I know everything will be just fine, I am ready to meet this little one inside of me!

April 10th---DUE DATE!!

Well the doctor didn't tell us what we wanted to hear yesterday. STILL dilated 1-2 but he said I am really soft so I can really go at any time. They have me scheduled to induce on the 17th if I don't go on my own before then so all we can do now is hope he or she decides to come before then. If not...well we know we have less than a week left regardless so there is FINALLY light at the end of the tunnel!!

Will keep updating as the time grows nearer!

Just a Little Update

Had ANOTHER appt last Friday, the 3rd, dilated to 1.5, about 50% effaced.
They have set to induce on the 17th if I don't go on my own before then...
please pray for us that we don't need to use to induction date. I want to go
on my own BEFORE the 17th!! I have waited long enough...

Anyhow, we go back on this Friday, the 10th, which is our due date.
Hopefully to find out that I am dilated much further and am ready to go!

Will update again after Friday!

First 'check'

Reality set in yesterday at the doctor's office...I am dilated between a 0 and 1, baby is head down, and although he/she will not be here for a few more weeks, anytime from now on out is safe sailing!! Dr. Costa assumes that the baby weighs around 6 1/2 pounds now...which makes me assume that baby will be between 8 and 9 pounds at birth!!

We are still counting down the days and getting more and more excited/nervous/scared knowing the day is getting closer and closer!! Wish us luck and we will let you all know when the little one arrives!
