Baby Winters is Here!
It's been a whirlwind!
On Monday, December 3, 2007, I felt some pressure most of the day, but figured it was just the baby dropping. Then, around 6pm, I started feeling some contractions. They weren't very strong, but about 5 min. apart. I called the doctor, and he told me to call back when they were stronger, when I couldn't talk during them but had to breathe through them. Over the next hour, they became closer together and a bit strong, but I could still talk through them. I called my sister-in-law, Niki, at about 7:00pm and asked what she thought. She told me to go to the hospital, just to be sure.
We packed our bags and casually left the house, thinking we'd be in for a long night. We got to the hospital at 8:30 pm. The nurses checked me, and I was 9.5 cm dilated!!! I looked at Jason, and he thought I was freaking out because the baby was coming right then. In reality, all I was thinking was NO EPIDURAL!?!?! Oh my god!
Colby Mitchell Winters arrived a few minutes later at 9:20 p.m. He was 6 lbs. 0 oz. and 18.5 in. long. He didn't have a name until this morning (the 5th). We're home now, and excited to start this new chapter in our lives! :)

39 weeks
I went to the doctor today...I'm 4 cm dilated! That was pretty shocking since I haven't felt any contractions. So, it shouldn't be too much longer now!
The baby room is ready...
We're just waiting (somewhat patiently) for our little one to arrive. We can't wait to see him!

Baby Shower
My sister & sister-in-law threw me a shower this weekend. It was really great! We are so appreciative of everyone coming and all the gifts we received. I really enjoyed seeing all my friends who I don't see much now that we're in MD.

23 weeks
Here I am at 23 weeks. The baby is now moving around quite a bit. I can actually see him punching my stomach sometimes! :)
I swear I'm bigger than you can see in this picture, or atleast it feels like it! :)

Lake Gaston
We just got back from a great vacation at Lake Gaston. It was really relaxing to be at the lake with no cell phone, internet, or tv service. Wierd at first, but relaxing after we got used to it. The lake is located on the VA/NC border. We're looking forward to going back again next year.
Emma took this great picture of us.

We spent Father's Day weekend in Sterling visiting our families. It was great to see some of our extended family that we don't see very often...Grandpa Fisher, Dolores, Aunt Sandy, Tiffany, and Tanya.
This picture is from a few weeks ago. Emma (4) & Jacob (almost 1) are growing up so fast!
