The day Liam lost his umbilical cord!

I think it looks like he is dancing here. Maybe its just me... but maybe he's dancing because he's so happy about his new belly button! =)

Liam being cute... like always. (check out his giant bear claws)

Such a handsome little boy!

Our stay in the hospital

Here are a few pictures of some of the people who came to see Liam in the hospital.

He's Finally here! Born on March 21 at 7:00 pm. Liam James Bridges weighs 6lbs 8 oz and is 18 1/2 inches long.

I'll put more pictures up later, I'm still in the hospital till tomorrow. =)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!!!
My Mom, my sister Helyn, and my Grandma came to town today and while they were here we had some fun coloring my belly. So here are the pictures... it's a little weird, but it was fun being so silly =) This is my belly at about 38 weeks.

Leave me comments and let me know what you think =)

And the coloring begins...

Me and my mumma

Haha! So that's that =)

35 weeks!

That's right Everybody... I am now 35 weeks which means my baby now weights over 5 1/2 pounds! His total length is about 20 1/4 inches. As far as my weight goes, I have gained a total of 30 pounds! One of the books that I read says his head is already down and in position for delivery, which would explain why I've had so much added pressure on my bladder. It also says, that if I gave birth to him today he would probably do really well, but I suppose it's best to wait. =)

Tips for Dad (takes a strong man to love a pregnant woman)

During Pregnancy...
-Become involved with the pregnancy; know what is going with your partner adn the baby.
-If possible, go with your partner to her doctor visits; you'll learn a lot and have fun, too.
-Understand that your partner needs some extra tender loving care.
-Your partner is growning and needs more than half of the bed, so move over man!
-Spend time alone as a couple just talking and expressing your hopes and fears.
-Give your woman as much support, encouragement, and love as you can.
-Suprising her with a special little gift now and then will have amazing results.
-Plan a special date night at least once a week; and keep this up even after the baby arrives.
-Keep reassuring your partner about what a wonderful mother she is going to be.
-Take some time alone to reflect on your feelings about becoming a new father.
-Talk with other fathers-to-be or new fathers and get as many tips as you can.
-Go to the bookstore and buy a book on parenting that suits your particular interest.
-Play an active role in childbirth classes and learn as much as possible.
-Take a tour of where the baby will be born.
-Work with your partner to get things ready for the baby, such as furniture and stocking the nursery.

During delivery....
-When it comes to the delivery, be actively present and share the joy of birthing together.
-During the birth tell your partner what a terrific job she is doing and how much you love her.

Once the baby arrives....
-See if you can take a little time off from work.
-After the baby is born, understand that your position as center of your partner's universe has been severely dislocated, but please don't take it personally.
-Understand that you cannot compete for attention with the baby.
-Try to share baby care responsibilities and help out with your baby whenever possible.
