Ethan Gavin Manion


He's here!!!! Our sweet little baby boy has arrived! He was born on August 18, 2010 at 8:20am weighing in at 8lb 12oz and 21 inches long. I can't believe how fast time has gone by already, he will be 2 weeks old tomorrow. Everyday he is showing more personality and sleeping and eating better which makes me so happy! Gavin and I are totally in love!

Friday the 13th!

So today is Friday the 13th and my official due date. When my mom realized this she asked me to talk my doctor into changing it to the 14th. She didn't want her first grandchild born on friday the 13th, I am not superstitious so I didn't care but we changed it to please her. Now I realize how long a day is and I really want him here today...I don't care if its the 13th! I have tried everything, I just got finished working out on the elliptical machine for 30 minutes hoping that would do something but still no luck. Oh well, at least I know the end is near if he doesn't come by Tuesday I am being induced that day, but I sure hope he decides to come on his own before then!!!!

I'm Pregnant!

I know this is old news, but I haven't blogged in forever so I have to make the announcement that I am pregnant! Almost 19 weeks. My first trimester was ok, a lot of throwing up and eating way too much. It has officially been one week without losing my cookies and I am thrilled.
Last Friday was an amazing day for me, I felt the baby kick for the first time. I was sitting down watching Grey's Anatomy after a long day at work and all of a sudden I felt a distintive little poke about an inch below my belly button. I pushed back to make sure I felt right, and the baby kicked again. I laughed and then totally cried and called Gavin at work to tell him that their is a living baby growing in my belly. I know I seem a little slow 18 weeks later to realize this, but being my first pregnancy it really hit me and I am amazed at what the human body can do and what a blessing it is to create life. I am leaving in an hour to go to the doctors to find out if it's a boy or girl!!! I am bringing my camera so I will post soon with pictures!
