Luke Ryan - 3 Weeks Old Today!!

Luke Ryan - 2 Days Old

Introducing Luke Ryan Page

Nervousness ...

I'm getting a little nervous now as the big day draws near. I have an appointment at 2:00 pm today with Dr. Fuselier. After I will pre-register at the hospital, do all the preliminary blood work and walk the kids around the nursery area to show them where they will wait to see their new baby brother. I keep going back to the 3D ultrasound pictures anticipating who he will look like, how big he'll be and if he'll recognize my voice. Those thoughts help to ease the facts of knowing what's ahead concerning the actual procedure. Tonight I will be attending SPA Night with a few friends in an attempt to be ENCOURAGED and refreshed before the big day. I will write more after the appointment today.

38 Weeks Expecting ...

Okay now it's down to the final stretch ... 1 WEEK TO GO till the arrival of Luke Ryan. The heat is on now ... has anyone else noticed how hot it is this summer? I have been staying off of my feet (made possible by Mom and Mommom 'they help me tremendously') and that really helps with the exhaustion part of things. One more appointment left to go with by OB doctor and that will take place on Thursday. After this appointment I will pre-admit to the hospital and then await Monday morning at 5:30 (the time we will need to be at the hospital to check-in). The kids are very excited and so am I!! ~ Love to all ~

37 Weeks Expecting

I am now at 37 weeks expecting Luke Ryan. I can feel feet and knees very well now and he moves them several times a day ... my stomach shifts from side to side when he streches and it's apparent there's not much room left in there. Although not the easiest person to live with right now my little family is adjusting to 'life in the artic' here at the Page household and they've come to understand that when I'm tired...I'm tired!

My next appointment is on Thursday of this week, I am pre-registered at the hospital, my bags are packed and the cameras are always charged just in case. I am ready to meet my little boy!!

The kids are very excited, Ethan is counting down by the day. MacKenzie repeats exactly what she'll be telling Luke numberous times a day (guess she's making sure it's perfected).

This will be my last week of work before maternity leave, the closer it gets the more I realize it'll be strange being home for 3 months in over 10 years. May take some adjusting however; I am looking forward to being home with the children and enjoying the summertime!!

3 Weeks till Luke Ryan's anticipated arrival

After 8 months of anticipating the arrival of Luke Ryan ... the countdown is on!! Luke's clothes are washed and ready for use, my hospital bag is nearly packed and Kevin is sitting on go! I will see Dr. Fuselier on each Thursday until delivery. Maternity leave will begin on June 15th, I'm hoping to get in some alone time with my bundles, Kenzie & Ethan before the big day. Exhaustion sets in at times however; my wonderful family steps in with encouragement, tremendous amounts of help and all around wonderful support. I'm truly blessed with a wonderful mother, grandmother, dad, brother and friends ... many thanks from the bottom of my heart!! Noticing today that my belly has dropped, I feel lots of pressure and the tell tale sign that I'm due soon ... my nose is getting wider!
