Liam Robert Lutz

Sorry this has taken me so long ... but being a new mommy is exhasting! :) I plan on updating more soon. Liam Robert Lutz arrived on 10-09-12 @ 6:58am, weighing 7lbs 2oz and 21 inches long! We feel so blessed!

Here are some pics of our little guy:

39 Weeks

I thought I would do another one of these because I may not be able to do one next week!

How Far Along: 39 Weeks

Size of baby: Mini watermelon (about 7 pounds and 20 inches long).

Maternity Clothes: Yes, definitely
Gender: Boy!

Movement: I feel him all the time.
Sleep: I feel like I am sleeping more. I am so tired lately. When I get off work, all I want to do is lay on the couch. Eight hours at work just exhausts me. I'm so lucky that Jason has been so helpful with making dinner every night because otherwise, we would be eating a lot of canned soup. I still get up numerous times a night for the bathroom and Jason said I am still snoring but other than that I sleep okay.
What I miss: doing daily chores/activities without getting tired so fast.
Cravings: Sweets!

Aversions: None

Symptoms: Frequent bathroom breaks, backaches, symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), carpal tunnel in hands at night, tired, and still some swelling in my hands and feet. 
Best Moment this week: I would say the best moment of this week was when my best friend, Melissa, had her baby boy - Connor Andrew was born on Friday, Sept 28th! I went to visit him in the hospital and he is just so precious. I cant wait for our little guy to get here so they can be best friends too :).

Of Course

As if I wasn't uncomfortable enough, I now have poison oak to add to the list of symptoms. I guess both Jason and my mom got it when they were trimming one of my parents trees down. Then, Jason somehow passed it on to me. It is all over my right ankle and a line down my back. I went to my doctor today and she gave me medication but if it doesn't clear up before I go into labor I may not be able to get an epidural because it is on my back. I will be so upset if this doesn't clear up soon! I don't think I am strong enough to handle labor without an epidural. I am already kind of scared of the whole labor process anyway, so this is not helping my anxiety. Please pray it clears up fast!
