Week 4

Can you believe that??? Time is going quickly. Levi is a wonderful little feller! He has his fussy moments though. I am not sure what is up with him. As far as I can tell he is just fighting sleep. He acts like he is in serious pain, but if you can get him to calm down he zonks right out. He is still a great baby! I am in love!

I am posting some pictures of the kids tonight. It is right before bed. :) So they aren't the best, but at least you can see them. I am so very blessed with these little ones. I thank the Lord for them. They have been so VERY helpful during this pregnancy and beyond. They are great about taking Levi in the morning for me so I can get a bit more rest. I have a wonderful bunch here that is FOR SURE! :)

P.S. There is a spot on the picture with Sam and Levi. It happens when I do the red eye so I just left it...after the third time I edited it. I didn't know what was worse, the silly mark or the blaring red eyes. :)

Week 3

There isn't a lot to post about. I am still working on gaining my strength. I didn't realize being old and having a baby was so tiring. :) I am getting there slowly but surely. Anyway, Levi is doing well and growing. I can't believe it has been three weeks already. I have a few pictures I just took. He seems to change by the week. I think he is looking more like Daddy each day. He is still a great little one and so sweet! We are so very blessed!

Take care and God bless!!

Week 2

I can't believe that Baby Levi is 2 weeks old today. My how time flies when baby gets here. I can't say the last two weeks of pregnancy went that fast. :)

All is going quite well. He still has his days and nights in the right order, Praise the Lord! He is a very noisy little feller though and about to get me kicked out of my bed. LOL! He grunts, sounds like a donkey and just seems to sings when he eats. It wakes Shane up and he is the one who has to be up at 5 a.m. It is cute, though, when he makes all the noise. He is a wonderful baby and great eater. I will go on Wed for a weight check and I am certain he doesn't weigh 9 pounds anymore. :) I love it!!

We are still getting into the swing of things. I am sure we'll have a good routine soon or at least eventually. :) I sure know I am in love with a great little guy. I am soooo thankful everyday!! God has been sooo GREAT to us! I pray we never take it for granted.

Week One

Baby Levi is an amazing little guy! We are soooo blessed! And I am soooo in love! He eats every two hours day and night. Try as I may I can't change that. He has chubby cheeks to maintain, so I guess I have to provide for that. :) He sleeps at night and wakes only to eat. I am thankful he has the days and nights figured out so soon. Sure that might change, but for now, I am thankful.

My in-laws left today. It went well and they were a wonderful help! The kids got to fish in a pond here with Grandpa and they caught LOTS of fish. None of which you can eat, but they enjoyed themselves. Hopefully we didn't drive them too crazy. :)

I can't believe a week has passed. Not sure where it went, but I am delighted to have him here.

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!!
