Ian's Baptism

Ian Matthew was baptized on his first trip to Mass in June.

It was a very special Mass for a baptism because it was the Feast Day of John The Baptist.

Ian (means John in Scottish) was only 1 1/2 weeks old.

We had a our beloved Fr. Matthew officiating, also in attendance was a visiting priest from

Dublin Ireland.

When it came to finding/buying a baptism outfit for my sweet Ian we only had 1 day to find something.

I decided that Burlington Coat Factory might have the best prices.

I took Ian and the girls to meet my mom and sister for a day of shopping and lunch.

I was disappointed to find ALL the baptism outfits on the rack at Burlington had brown formula stains on them! Yes, they were used for someones special day then returned! Yucko!

I was never a big fan of the silky boy outfits.....I was hoping to find a none girly cotton gown for him. Something Victorian but no such luck. What I ended up getting was a simple $8.00 cotton onesie with a embroidered cross on the front. He wore white sock I already had and a $2.00 pair of white silk shoes. Oh and I also bought a white keepsake blanket ($14.00) with a large embroidered white cross on the front.

Ian is a simple cotton t-shirt and jeans kind of guy I can tell already!

Ian Matthew 1 1/2 weeks old!

The night before baby

and all through the house we all scurry about. Getting all the last minute things ready to go in for a early morning induction. Nerves are running high....I had a good cry last night. I miss the baby we lost to a miscarriage last year. Though we are have a new baby soon, nothing or no one can take the place of the baby whom has gone to heaven before us.
I no longer take things for granted. I pray every thing goes well tomorrow and baby arrives safely.
I can't wait to meet my newest baby I now carry inside. I have loved every minute of being pregnant with this baby. A constant companion who will soon emerge into this world for us all to see. He or she will soon ride next to me. Pregnancy will soon be over.
The excitement is over whelming at times. The fear of the pain that lays ahead has me wanting to run.
So many emotions........Lord please help me.

Please keep me in your prayers if you will???????  I thank you!

Well I'm off to bed as we have an early morning (4 or 5am) and a long long day!

I will post again soon!

Peace+

Pregnancy Update: 39 weeks

Hi all! I just got up from my nap and took a few pics for my undate!

I have been trying to keep rested up!

I wished I would have put on some lipgloss or something!!

39weeks!

I went to my OB Dr.E yesterday. All is well.

I gained 1 more # putting me at a 23 pound gain this pregnancy.

Blood pressure is awesome and baby looks and sounds terrific!!!

I was hooked up again this week to the machine for a stress test on the baby (who kept trying to nap)lol

This baby has been the BIGGEST napper!

Oh I wanted to let you all know that my bellybutton usually sticks like a turkey timer.

But I had my herniated bellybutton fixed when I had my gallbladder taken out.

Olivia was 3 months old when I had my surgery.

My bellybutton is so cute now! :)

So whats the verdict you may want to know?

Dr. E wants to induce me on June 12 (Tuesday).

I thought it was his day off, but he said, Tuesday he is in the hospital not in his office!

The hospital will call me at 5:30 am the morning of June 12

to let me know what time to come in for my induction that day.

We will be using Cytotec (taken orally) not pictocin. At least at first.

I will be able to use the tub,walk and move around!

BOY or GIRL ???????

I know some of my readers made a guess that they think we are having a boy.

If anyone else wants to make a gender guess and a guess at baby's weight there is still time!

If I have time I will try to post my families gender and weight guesses!

We will all find out at delivery!

You can also make a guess if you think baby will come earlier than my induction date.

I lost my plug this morning and am 2cm and 60% effaced.

I was having lots of pressure and mild contractions this morning!

Peace and Joy,

Georgiann
