Introducing Levi Elliot Pierce






Well, the day has arrived!!! :):) Levi was born Sep 28, 2009 at 11:12 Eastern Standard Time. He weighed 9 pounds 7 ounces and 21 inches long. My water broke at 3:35 a.m., pitocin was started at 6. All went well. I managed to have him with no drugs. :) What an experience to say the least. The Lord was with us! I am thankful all went the way it did. God is sooo good!! Enjoy the pictures.

Baby shower and 39 weeks





Ladies at church had a baby shower for me. It was special. A group went in together and got the bedding I desired, and we got lots of nice little gifts for him. I thought I'd share a few pictures.

The picture of me is 39 weeks 2 days. I was certain I'd deliver by now, but have resorted to the fact I'll make it to 41 weeks. The dr said last week he didn't think I'd make to to the weekend. I suppose he meant Oct 1st weekend. :) I knew better than to hope for anything less. I have my great moments, but I am tuckering out fast.

My in-laws arrived on Friday. They can stay til whenever......

It is late here and I should be in bed, so this is short. I just wanted to do a little update. Take care all!

37 weeks 3 days....


Well, I am trucking right along with my "wide load". :):) Yes, people clear the way like cars do on a road when a mobile home is being driven by. LOL! I got all kinds of comments at church today. I got the usual of "do you think you'll make it?" and" are you sure you'll be at your shower Sat?". One gentleman told Shane that Levi makes his presence known in the room before I do. Yes I know that one already. :) You can see the belly coming around the corner before you see me.

Anyway, I am doing FANTASTIC! God has given me a great measure of strength for these last few weeks. Two weeks ago I could barely walk because of the back pain, but now I have no pain and lots of wonderful energy. Shane wanted to know what kind of drugs I was on. :) None, but delighted to be feeling better!

Levi is doing well, and seems to be head down for the most part now. He still moves a LOT, but somehow is managing to stay down. I had a dr's appt Friday and talked to that dr and asked if they'd let me go to at least 41 weeks. She asked me if that is really what I wanted, and I said yes! I suppose that is not something they hear often. LOL! The dr I see on Tues is one who told me they wouldn't let me go past 39 weeks. I have delivered all three of my babies at or after 41 weeks and would rather be left alone until then.

Little guy is VERY wiggly and makes for quite a show and I so love every little kick...or in his case, roll. I think he is going to be long. I have always thought that, but mercy, when his bottom is on one side and I feel his feet all that way over to the other, there is quite a span of space there. I suppose if my dad was 6'3 I'd have long legs too. :)

We are all doing well and I am now ready for him to be born. I had put off getting the room done, but we are ready now. I have a baby shower on Sat. I am grateful for the ladies for doing that for me.

I do hope all is going well with everyone. Take care and God bless!!
