Cameron John is here!!!!

So last Friday (4/22) I headed off to the hospital for the weekly non stress test to make sure all was ok.  Little did I know that I wouldn't be coming home for a few days after that...
The doctor had decided it was time to induce me and have the little guy.  So Bryan cancelled his racing trip to Chico and we spent the evening in the hospital.  Around 1 something the doctor came in and said it was time for us to do a c-section and the next thing I know Cameron John Wheeler was born 4/23/11 at 2:25 am.  He was 5 lbs 13.5 oz and 20 inches long.  We are all home now and adjusting well.  Today (Friday 4/29) we got the puppies back from my mom's so now the house is complete!!!!

Below are some of the pictures we have in no particular order:

With Daddy right after being born
 Aunt Jessica came up from Stockton where she had a softball game...
 Grandpa Jerry
 Grandma Karla (she was so amazed at how tiny he was... actually, we all were)

Good puppy

Lindsay and Jason stopped by last night with their little guy AJ (2 months old) and we got to see how the pups reacted to a baby. Daisy Mae was less than thrilled however Mr Duke was very interested and wanted to make sure the baby didn't go anywhere.  WE tried to get some good pictures but he wasn't very cooperative! But its good to know he likes babies!! And well Daisy acted just like I imagined... hopefully she will get used to our bundle.

Getting Closer!

Well here we are, a month away from the due date and we are just waiting patiently.  I am down to weekly appointments which is weird as it seems like just yesterday it was just once a month.  I asked Bryan to help me hang stuff on the wall so the room would be ready for the baby and his response was sure, but that is the least of your worries with that room... which well he was right.  There were boxes still everywhere and all sorts of stuff just strewn about so I spent Sunday watching the Giants game and cleaning up the room.  Below is pictures of the completed task! Now I think we are a little closer to where we need to be!!!
The closet was full of boxes -diaper genie, high chair, diapers, bouncer and floor gym... now it is filled of buckets... buckets of socks and toys!!

the strollers were hanging out here, they are now put together and in the garage just waiting for use

we won't say what all was in the crib but now it is filled with the monkeys and Sully only because I'm out of room on top of the curio cabinet

and I got suckered into getting a bassinet... so there it is, in front of the bed. It won't fit on the side of the bed but it has wheels so it can go where ever I need it to!!!

and Mr. Duke all tuckered out from being outside with Daddy while he worked in the yard

Hope you enjoyed the slide show!!  I will try to update more later!

April Update

So I went to have a non stress test to see how the baby is doing with his movement and my blood pressure.  All was fantastic, except the little guy wanted to sleep and not move so I was stuck there for 3 hours until he finally woke up, thanks to some apple juice.  We got to do another ultrasound which seemed more difficult to see a lot of things however, they were able to confirm AGAIN that he is in fact a HE!!! He also will have some hair... not sure where he got that from since I didn't have hair until I was one and well, daddy lost all his hair!! ;-) but regardless, all looks good.  He is weighing 4lbs 11oz, give or take 11 oz... and the ultrasound lady said the due date is 5-19-11 give or take 17 days... The DR on the other hand said the guy will probably come closer to the end of April, which I tend to believe what he has to say more so than the ultrasound people.
Those are the updates here, now we just wait patiently for the guy to arrive!!
