Pictures of my not so little little man

I know this is really old news but.... GRAYSON LANE JARMAN is here! He was born on May 11th at 1:50 PM. He was 7 lbs. 6 oz. and 22 inches long. Geoff and I could not be happier with our little man.
The short version of the story goes something liek this.....

On Monday the 10th of May I went into labor right after I got home from work,after two quick hours my contractions went from 30 minutes apart to 4 so we called the hospital and headed in at about 7:30 PM. When I got there I was only 1cm(that was being generous)so they gave me an hour to see if anything happened and if not they were going to send me home. after an hour and nothing happened... UGH! We did however talke the nurse into letting us stay one more hour to see if I would progress anymore. At that point I was having rolling contractions that weren't letting up so I didnt think I would be able to handle them at home or on the 35 min car drive home. Plus if the contrations were already less than one minute apart how would we know when to head back.?. after the second hour there I was almost 2cm so they told us we were "keepers".
After many hours of laying, walking, bathing, breathing....hard, 16 hours to be exact I was told it was time to push. I started to push at 12:00 PM and at 1:50 our little man was born.

I am 38 and a half weeks and I am HUGE. I have 6 days of work and then the waiting game begins. The doctor seems to think Geoff and I will be waiting a while because this little boy hasn’t decided to come out from behind my ribs and my cervix hasn’t started to thin or dilate. I know this could all happen overnight but at this point it looks like he is enjoying his time and doesn’t have any plans to come meet the rest of the world.

Geoff and I were lucky enough to get tickets to go to game 6 of the playoffs. Its too bad that the blazers lost, but it was a fun game and knowing its probably one of our last big events before baby boy gets here made it that much more enjoyable.

here are the boys happy to be at the game with such great tickets

Not so happy at the end of the game :(

it is so fun to know so many women who are pregnant at the same time as myself.



I am can't wait for all the babies to be born so we can have baby-palooza :)




Katie and I are 8 days apart and so are our due dates

Is is just me or has my belly been growing fast the past few weeks....?

here is a close up on the big guy at 27 weeks

















and here is a far away shot

Today I am 23 weeks along and I have been asked by a few people to put up pictures of my growing belly. I didnt really want to becauase I didnt think there was much to show.

Here is a picture that I took a month after finding out the BIG news.




















After taking this picture this morning I guess I was wrong there really is a pretty big bumb there.....







Here I am at 23 weeks with a shirt on, as it will stay for the remainder of these photo shoots. I am a lot bigger and a lot less tan these days.
