More Pics of the Little Man

Here are some more pictures of Parker.
Everyone is still doing great and we are going home tonight after dinner.
He already seems to be a very content and happy baby as well as being a super cutie!

Look at your pretty eyes

Introducing Parker James Guion

Parker James arrived via C-section at 9:14pm on Saturday, October 18th. He weighs 7lbs 12oz and is 21in. long. Baby, Mommy and Daddy are doing awesome! Here are some of the first pics.

The End Is In Sight

Well...we saw our Doctor on Tuesday. There wasn't any real change from the last appointment. I am still at about 3-4 cm. dilated, 80% effaced. This is pretty much what we expected. I think it is a "McCue family tradition" to get to about 3 cm. and just stop! Baby Parker is just perfectly content to stay inside and hang out until he gets absolutely huge! We have a scheduled induction date for Saturday the 18th at 7:30 in the morning. We are so excited and relieved to have a plan now. Now Travis can get some homework done early before Parker gets here and we can really get everything ready and in order. We cannot wait to be parents, it seems like these last several weeks have just taken forever! It has been extremely frustrating to make it to my due date...well...past my due date when everyone I knew who was pregnant and had a due date after mine was delivering early. Travis and I felt like we were trying everything to get Parker to work his way out. I forced myself to go on these huge, long walks hoping that he would move on down...but no! I was starting to feel like I was doing so much and other people were just spontaneously going into labor. My sister told me that I was really becoming a "Bitter Betty." (I really felt like I had reached my emotional/hormonal breaking point.) She totally understands where I am coming from though--having just had a baby 4 months ago! I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have a sister going through the same thing at about the same time. What a wonderful blessing! We had always wanted to have children at the same time, we just didn't really think it would work out...at least not yet! God really does work in mysterious ways. Hopefully the next update will include pictures of our son, we can't wait to see him!

Tick...Tick...Tick..._ _ _ _! (No BOOM Yet)

Well...I continue to be a "ticking time-bomb" according to Travis! We had another appointment today. Our CNM Sara had good news for us this time! Our Dr. is still out of town on his hunting trip, but she will be around and could deliver for us if he is not back when Parker is finally ready to come out of the "hot tub" that is my belly. She is still amazed at the size of my water pocket. So if my water breaks I am in for a big/unpleasant surprise! I am now 3 cm. dilated, 75% effaced, and Parker is sitting at a wonderful -2 station. Basically, he is locked and loaded and pretty much ready to go. Sara also told us that my water is "bulging," apparently this means that it is about to break. She scraped the membranes anyway to try to help things along. You've gotta' love a sympathetic woman who really knows what you are going through! We will keep everyone posted about Parker's arrival...whenever that may be!
