More Oliver Pics...

The girls love their new brother too....

At Last...

So he is finally here!! Our sweet boy Oliver Thayer. We are so excited (especially me) to have him here with us. What a long haul this was for us (me again) but sooooooo worth it!! I was started on Pitocin early Wed. Morning the 11th and by 11:36am he was here. I couldn't have asked for a better delivery either 2 pushes and he was in my arms well, that's kinda impossible, I guess he was in the Dr.'s arms first then mine. Anyhow, What a moose he was compared to my other 3. No wonder I was in such turmoil. I know some of you have bigger babies then that and are rolling you non- puffy eyes, but for me this was not the norm.

SO this baby is really a mix of all my kids. He has Bartel's eyes, Coco's nose and Annie's mouth. If he was a Drink we'd  call him a "Barconie" cocktail. He's really sweet and yummy. And I feel really good, still puffy but I feel better after this one then all my others. Weird huh? I'm just waiting for my cankles to go down now, ...and my eyes....lips....hands.........

8lbs. 19 1/2 inches long.. Our big Boy..

Look at those gaps between his big toe and the rest!!!We determined we could probably fit a dollars worth of quarters between that gap..

Blue eyes like Bartel's were and dark hair like Coco had..

Such a good baby....so far.

Such a munch.

Smiles for the camera

The proud big brother.

Our sweet nurse and anxious momma

Big belly....

Puffy lips and nose means it's getting close to delivery...

My sexy cankles...Or forgive me, my "fat Bastard Legs" as Bart so lovingly called them...

Promises, promises....

OK, no more promises I can't or may not keep. I know I said I was going to post more pictures etc.. but seriously, everytime I attempt to, something always comes up. Either I just plain forget, or Bart has my camera, or I'm too busy at the moment, or like now, it's almost 4am and I really have no excuse, except that my converter is in my closet and I'm afraid to wake up Bart. I'm out on the couch and I can't sleep due to ....well, I can't put my finger on it ..oh, ya the big baby in my belly, making me so uncomfortable...silly me how could I forget? YES, I'm still with child and YES he is already grounded. My contractions finally started up again, I can't believe how responsive bed rest was...dang it. Talk about bringing things to a screeching holt. I hardly even took the meds I was given! Now, I'm practically jogging around the block at night to get things moving..Well, jogging may be a tad bit of an overstatement especially since I have no shoes that fit except for some ill fitting flip flops. I am seriously running out of clothes and shoes. Oh, I wish I had pictures up right now to prove my homliness...Is that a word? I am sporting the same sweats just about everyday. I did mix it up a bit with a pair of jeans, but I coughed the other day and well, it wasn't good so now i have to wash the dang things and they will take took long to stretch out to my liking, so it looks like it's sweats from here on out..sorry Bart I'm sure your sick of leaving me in the morning wearing the same thing that you come home to at night..But not as sick of it as I am...trust me.

My kids are getting a tad anxious for this baby to come out too. Everyday Annie asks the same thing.."when is your baby coming out?" good question, I wish I knew. Then tonight when I was leaving to go on a walk around the block, I told Bartel we would be gone for just a quick walk and that I'd hurry back (everyone was in bed he'd be in charge) he said "I don't care of you have to walk around the block 5 times, just get that baby out!"..gee, how do you really feel? Then there's Coco who just likes me being pregnant. I can't walk by her with out her rubbing, kissing, or talking to my stomach. And she has to tell me 10 times a day just how cute my little tummy is...Does she had rose colored glasses on or what? because it is not little. She actually was looking at my bare tummy the other day and said "why do you have a line of symmetry down the middle of your tummy?" (you know the line she's talking about) I was just glad she was learning something in school... SO I will update with pictures when i can, they are very entertaining and will boost your self esteem, and i will keep you posted on the arrival of this boy who insists on torturing his mom by being stubborn..
