Due my newly wed life and being pregnant I have been rudely absent for what seems like forever. But in my defense, growing a child in your belly is very tiring... ok really my pregnancy wasn't as bad as many make it out to be. Never-the-less, I found out I was expecting at the beginning of September '08, and ever since then it's been a ride to say the least. I was able to escape the morning sickness and the mood swings weren't all that bad either. They were pleasant enough that my husband had actually asked me when they were supposed to start kicking in. I was however livid for the first 3 months which transitioned to weepy for about 2 weeks and then I plataeud off and was good ever since. It took me to about 5 1/2 months to start showing and I all but exploded around month 7. Then the leg cramps kicked in and I lost my torso. I am still taking classes at the Univeristy and I was devastated to see that for Spring Quarter I couldn't fit in to the desks, so it was a good thing that all of my classes this quarter are in big lecture halls and I had to make due with taking tests and writing notes on my lap. Only a small bit inconvenient, but I was able to overcome! My prenatal appointments were every week during the last month and at my last appointment I learned that I was 1 cm dilated, but I still had about 2 weeks to go. Well, that is until the baby decided he wanted to to come early.
Long story short, I gave birth April 26 to a little boy. He weighted 7lbs 3 oz, and came out at 7:42 pm. We have decided to name him Seven Allen Foster. The name we already had picked out, my husband got dibs if the baby were a boy and I got dibs if the baby were a girl. There was a lot of controversy surrounding the name because only a hand full of people actually liked the boy's name, but it worked out. He's our lucky baby boy and I'm so glad that he came early because I was so ready to have my mid-section un-housed by a little person. He was 38 1/2 weeks gestated and healthy as can be.
It's been a crazy 2 weeks trying to become adjusted to my new baby, but I think we'll keep him... for now.

CONGRATS!!! So glad everything worked out and he's a healthy baby! I like the name Seven. I don't know if it matters that someone who only writes about Halloween likes the name Seven, but for the record, I do.
Glad to have you back!
Here is an extremely belated CONGRATS!! You used to be in my Google Reader but a mishap caused every feed to get deleted so i lost you.
LOVE his name! My youngest's middle name was almost Seven (I don't know...maybe we talked about that before?? I know I mentioned it to someone online,anyway :P)
