We LOVE comments!

Okay all you out there in internet-lands! Prove to us that you're real! We've been live for about two weeks now and we've been getting a number of visitors, but "who" is visiting the site?

While we don't have a "guestbook" or anything of that sort, there is the ability to leave comments on the posts. By doing so, we'll have an idea of who's coming to spy on our little one. Don't worry, we love spies...

Everything's going great! We hope you all are enjoying the updates! If you like what you see, tip your DHCP servers (a little internet humor).

Day 5..

So today is day 5 of Jet's life. He has changed so much already. His facial expressions make me smile. He is such a good baby, Joey and I are really lucky. Grandma came over this morning to help a bit around the house. She gave him his first bath, which again was perfect. He didn't cry at all, just sat there and enjoyed the soothing warm water.

Yesterday we went to the Dr and his weight is now 8lbs 5oz, so he only lost 2oz which is awesome. Dr said he is doing great and everything looks good. Wednesday is his next apt where they will circumcise him. I am not looking forward to this at all. I just have to be strong and know that he will be fine.

Well, he is starting to fuss since its about dinner time so I better make a bottle. More updates to come :)

PS, if you actually click on his picture from the previous post, you should be able to view more pics. Joey is in the process of finding a better way to display them.

Newest Photo Album

Hey all,

While I'm working out the slideshow issue, I've decided to load an album for you to view for now.

Keep checking back often, to see the latest!

Where did the pictures go?

Hello All,

I know you are all dying to see more pics, and trust me there are alot more. If you noticed, in the right column, there was a slide show that cycles through all the pics, and any new we add. I was having some issues with the upload, but they should all be there now.

Keep in mind the images to your right are just thumbnail versions, and quite small. Click on the image and you'll open up another browser to view them in a much larger size and of higher quality.

I hope you enjoy!

Welcome Jetster

Hold on tight, baby Jetster is jetting his way on home to live an amazing life...

Were home, finally after 52 hours of labor, delivery and postpartum at Paradise Valley Hospital for the delivery of our first lil' munchkin baby Jet! Here is how our experience went...

7am Tuesday March 3rd - As we arrive at the hospital for Jet's inducement we were hoping for a fast and painless labor and delivery. That is exactly what we got!!! I was started on pitocine to regulate and increase the contractions that I already had been having for the past 8 weeks. Joey and I got to share some quiet time together before my 3 additional coaches showed up...my Mom, Samantha and Dana. Once everyone arrived we played the waiting game since the Dr was called off to 2 emergency c-sections just when she was suppose to come break my water. The nurse checked me and I was now dilated to a 5, up from the 4 that I was at for the past week. I was in no pain at all so we all just chatted and tried to cure my hunger pains with "sips & chips". I bet that nurse was so annoyed with me because every time she came in, I asked for something to drink lol. The answer was no each time.

I decided to wait to get my epidural until the dr could break my water because why have meds when there is no pain??? Finally, around 12pm the anisitligiosit showed up for my epi which I was very nervous to get with all the horror stories I had heard. Everything went good until he said, "I missed the spot so now I have to re-insert the needle again". UGH, I was annoyed I could have reached around and shoved the needle in his eye LOL. So here goes the second attempt with the sensation of a needle going between my vertebrae and feeling the tip scratch the bone. Not painful but VERY uncomfortable.

OK, so once that was done, Dr Harris showed up to break my water at 1pm. Smooth sailing, still with no pain at all. Around 4pm the nurse checked me and I was dilated to a 10 and +0 effaced. Jet was right there so i pushed 2 times when she told me to stop and wait for the Dr. Within 5 minutes Dr Harris showed up, I pushed 4 times with her and then popped out our lil man. Still NO pain!!!! I had great coaches who made my pushing easy!

WOW, is all I could think once I had this little tiny baby sitting on top of my belly. I never thought this dream would come true, it felt so surreal. His bright blue eyes looked at me and he gave a whine. How perfect could this go for us. Little Jet arrived at 4:58pm, weighing 8lbs and 7oz and measuring 21 inches long. He is perfectly healthy and we couldn't ask god to bless us with anything more.

Jet had a bunch of visitors over the past 48 hours and cant wait to meet the rest of his friends and family! Enjoy the pictures :)

The final countdown...

So this is the last night before Jet comes. Tomorrow's planned inducement will begin at 0700. How long will the delivery last? We don't know, but we're hoping for a quick labor, especially Amber! It's been a long and arduous road, but we're both ready. The last few weeks have gone by so slow it seems, it felt like he was never going to come, almost didn't feel real. But in (hopeully) less than 24 hours, our first born Jet will arrive. The world awaits, and we can't wait to meet him, and then show him off!

I will continue to update the site tomorrow as events unfold, look forward to it...We certainly are.

Joey and Amber

39 Week Update...

So I just got home from the Dr. who said I have a severe sinus infection. She wrote me a 5 day prescription and wants me to be fully cleared up before I get induced :( This means that the inducement is now scheduled for Tuesday at 7am.
I am now dilated to a 4 so the chances that Jet can come before Tuesday are pretty high. I am not getting my hopes up becuause why should he come now when hes so nice and cozy inside mommy. The good thing about being a 4 already is that I'm just about half way there without the strong contractions. Yes, I am still contracting but not as bad as active labor is. With this sinus infection, every part of my body hurts and I cant keep anything down. Thank you Joey, for putting up with all my complaining - Love You! Thanks to my friends and family who are always checking up on me to make sure I'm doing ok.
I started my 12 week FMLA today so I am going to be chilling at home trying to get better. This lil man has caused me so many problems already and hes not even here. I am still so in love with him and cant believe he will be here in 5 days or less. This is a dream come true that Joey and I can not wait to experience!!!

Thank You - Thank You - Thank You

So this is my first post and I'd like to start out by saying "Thank You". This is my personal thank you to all of our wonderful friends and family who have showered us with so many cute, loving gifts for our new lil one.
We have been blessed to have such great people in our lives and cant wait for all of you to meet baby Jet once he decides to enter to the world.
I'd like to say, though I'm not here yet
thank you for the gifts I'll get
And thank you from my parents, too
for all the gifts in the color blue
My closet was empty, my belongings were few
but that's all changed now, thanks to you!

Is this the longest week ever?

It would seem that Jet is taking his sweet time with coming out! Making mommy quite uncomfortable in the process, but I suppose that's just part of the game. Monday, March 2nd can't come any quicker!

Is it just me, or is this one of the longest weeks ever? And it's only Wednesday...
