Tyler's First Few Days
Sorry it has taken us so long to get pictures up. We have had major internet issues at the hospital and then caught up on sleep here at the house yesterday and today. Now we are finally settling in and slowly finding a routine/shift.
Update on Tyler...he does have a mild case of jaundice, but not enough to warrant a sun lamp and home health care, which is great. We had him tested again today and that was the news. We go back next week and will have him tested one more time to see if it is clearing up. But more than likely us putting him near the window during the day will be enough sunlight.
I have created a slide show of the pics from our camera. Nini (Wendy's Mom) and others have the rest which we should be getting this week.

Days Away
I just thought I would take this time to let everyone know, if you don't already, that baby TD will be here by the end of the week. I will have to tell Jeremy how to post pictures but we should have a couple up on Friday sometime (or earlier if he wants to come earlier). So check back with us then.
In the mean time, I am killing time today. Tomorrow I go for a NST (Non-Stress Test) to check baby's movements and to see if I am having any contractions. On Wednesday we are admitted to the hospital and they will start some meds to get me to thin out and possibly dilate. If nothing happens, then Thursday morning they will definitely do a c-section. I am excited and thrilled and a little nervous about the whole birth thing. But at this point I am so ready to meet my son, that the pain seems insignificant.

Ever Wonder...
Have you ever wondered what a pregnant woman does when her due date comes and goes? Well luckily for me, my mom (Nina) has been in town trying to keep me preoccupied until little TD arrives. In the course of the past 2-3 days, we (her mainly) have managed to decorate the entire interior of my house for Christmas. We did not do the outside yet, because I didn't want to be that person that has their decorations up forever before the holiday. We are saving that for Thanksgiving weekend. Below are several pictures from the interior of the house. I love having my own personal decorator that only charges me to have her a grandchild.

Halloween Party
On Friday Night, we went to our small group Halloween party. Above are pictures from every couple. Below is a picture of me and my baby belly as a Pumpkin. Don't worry, baby was not harmed in the painting of the belly. We used waterbased paint that came right off with water and a little soap.
For Baby TD update, Wendy has been having contractions since Sunday afternoon. The doctor told us this morning that they are Braxton Hicks and may continue for another week. She is not resting well and the doctor has given her some medicine to rest. Also Wendy is fighting off a cold or sinus infection which isn't the best to have right now. So we are praying for little TD to come soon. In the meantime, we will keep everyone updated when the real labor begins.

Updates on us
So I have been slacking on the blog, but really nothing has been happening. I am ready and prepared to have TD any day now. Last weekend, Jeremy and I went to the fall festival at Mt. Laurel. We thoroughly enjoyed getting out of the house and enjoying the cooler weather. This walking did cause me to have a few contractions, but not enough to start labor.
This weekend we spent Friday night honoring our former Bible Study Leaders, Jim & Betty. They meant so much to us and we thought by cooking them dinner and creating a scrapbook telling them of how much they meant would be a good way to do that. Almost all of our small group was there and it was so much fun to spend time hanging out.
Saturday was a lazy day. I am ashamed to say that we slept in to 10 am. I haven't done that in a long, long time, but boy did it feel good to sleep. We were able to have dinner with an old co-worker of Jeremy's mom. Joey had come into town with his work and surprised us all. We had a good time over dinner, and truly miss him. But we are glad he is doing well in NYC.
And that leaves us up to today....I think I am nesting and making Jeremy nest too. We spent a good portion of the afternoon, cleaning the house, cooking and just getting it in order for baby TD. So that ought to keep you all updated until he arrives. Expect it any day now!

Baby Shower Given by Friends
Jeremy and I are very fortunate to have such a great group of friends. Yesterday our sweet friends gave us one of the most fun baby showers I have been to. It was so relaxing and everyone knew at least one other person there. And what amazed me the most was that we truly got a variety of things we haven't received at other showers. Below is a slide show of it all.
So now you ask, what do we do with all this stuff? Well we have been diligently working on the nursery all along and plan on having it completely ready by the end of next weekend. I am now going every week to the doctor and with the baby already beginning to drop, they don't think I will make it to Nov. 4th, but aren't changing my due date again. I however am more and more convinced he is coming on Halloween. On God knows when though! So we will definitely covet any prayers during this last month to calm nerves and for everything to go safely and smoothly.

Tailgating at LSU Game
Two Saturdays ago was my last one in Auburn for this season. While I was there, my cousin Katie just had to take two pictures. The first is of me and her. The second is of me and my dad of our bellies.

Big Baby Gifts
Over the past few weeks we have received a lot of packages for our little one. He is not spoiled at all. ;-) Friday, August 29th was a huge day for the UPS delivery guy. We received our bedding, a cradle swing and the travel system.
We have since put it all together and are figuring out how everything works. It only took us a couple of hours to put the swing and travel system together. Thank goodness for directions!
Yes, Jeremy put the stuffed dog in there to test it out. He had to make sure that everything snapped and strapped together just like the directions said.
Lastly, Aunt Diane bought him his first pair of tennis shoes. They are so adorable. I can't wait to put them on him.

Murder Mystery Night
Last Friday, Jeremy and I went to a murder mystery dinner at a friend's house. It had a James Bond type theme. I was Diane Otherday (get it...Dying Another Day). Jeremy was Felt Odd (the odd job man). I thought that maybe I had killed Mr. James Bland, because my clues were so vague. I was told that I had been under the power of a criminal mastermind to kill Mr. Bland and eat his heart. Gross, I know, but I was the Voodoo lady! Anyway, Kevin the gardener was the killer and no one guessed him.

Rest of Chicago Trip
As you can already tell, Jeremy and I spent several days in Chicago and the burbs with part of his family.
On that Friday we arrived, we got to see the Broadway show, Wicked. It was Jeremy's first Broadway play. We both absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend anyone to go see it.
On Saturday we spent most of the day at Cantigny Park, where we learned more about different wars the US participated in and we learned about the McCormick family who basically was a founding family to Chicago.
Sunday was spent hanging out with the family at the Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder and at Sammy & Gigi's city apartment. Please note that Gigi decorated the entire apartment, including painting and doing the artwork. She is amazingly talented and comes highly recommmended by us both.
Monday turned out to be a rainy day, but we made our way through the city doing some sightseeing and having lunch at the Signature Room on the 95th floor of the John Hancock building. Amazing views of the entire city!!!
Tuesday we did a little shopping at the Woodfield Mall and in downtown Naperville. And then returned to reality on Wednesday. All in all it was a fun-filled trip and we are looking forward to next year when we can take our little one with us.
