Fricks "Shower in a box" suprise!

Today we got home to find a package on the porch from Jonathans Dad and family in MN!! They sent Skyler a "Shower in the box" since they live so far away. Here is Skyler with his box of goodies... he looks super interested! LoL- He got a bunch of nice thing. Thank you everyone!!

Heres my sweet boy. He is starting to stay awake more!!

LoL

My heart!! I love this kid!!

I am so inlove!

Skyler is doing good- after the spell of jaundice he is doing good. He has a pretty coloring again! And is a very easy going lil guy!!

He turned 2 weeks today, and I have no idea where the time goes!! He is back to his birth weight 8lbs even!

His daddy is starting him early as a Bama fan. He has a onesie(its to big right now) Bib- Hat- Booties- PAcifer and rattle. LoL

And I just love this pic... sporting his mini hawk! I love that he has so much hair!! It makes all the heart burn worth it!!

I never imagined that I would fall in love with this lil guy as much as I have. I am so in love with being a mommy. It still seems unreal most the time. I miss the belly of being pregnant- even though I complained all the time at the end- Labor && delivery was not that bad- even though I am still pretty messed up from the delivery.... and the sleepless nights... who cares when I get to cuddle with Skyler. I just hope the next weeks I am home do not go as fast as these 2 have!!

Finally home!

I know we just really want pics- so Ill post them and then update later!!

He's so precious!!!

I finally have some pics to share with you and he is just perfect!!

Here he is!


Mommy and Baby Sky

The whole family!

Skyler with Daddy and Nanna :)

Skyler with Danielle's Doctor and his Daddy

Skyler Davis Artie Frick is here!

Don't have pics yet to post but will soon. I don't have all of the details, but I do know that he was 8 lbs and both mom and Skyler are doing well. Will post pics as soon as I can. Yay, for the new mom and dad!

Really Close!

Danielle is now 8 cm and 100%. The Doctor said the baby is right there in place and when he checked her he could feel the baby pushing back. So she is definitely really close. The Doctor is staying near by and told Danielle to call him back in when she feels the urge to push. Then it's time to go!!

Getting closer!!

I got a text from Danielle almost an hour ago that said she was 7 1/2 cm and 90%!! Since that was close to an hour ago, I'm guessing she has progressed even more by now. Hopefully the next update will be that it's time to push!!

Its time for a another update. Things are moving quicker now, she is dialated 6cm and 80% thinned. Shouldn't be too much longer now. Still a bit of a concern for her bloodpressure and the babies heartrate, they are being watched very close and only Jon and Robin (Dani's mom) will be allowed in the room at this point, but really, your mother and your husband at your bedside, what more can a girl ask for.....well maybe your aunt Kim. I will blog soon, and will post pics as soon as he makes his entrance

Another Update..

Since getting the epideral, Danielle's blood pressure has dropped lower than the Doctor would like it to be. The babies heart beat also seems to be a little stressed so they are watching her pretty closely and keeping her on oxygen right now. She is at 4 cm so the nurse said it still may be several hours. Hopfully they can get Danielle and the baby nice and stable again, but I will let you know if something changes.

Things are moving now!

I just got a call that they have been giving Danielle the Pitosin for awhile now and contractions are picking up. They have just given her an epideral so hopefully she is feeling nice and comfy at this point :) Now that she isn't in as much pain, they will go ahead and turn the pitosin up again. Hopefully we're getting closer!!

Morning Update :)

This is Danielle's cousin Laci updating so I apologize in advance if my details aren't quite right. I get them through a phone chain lol Danielle tells her mom who tells my mom who tells me!

So from what I have been told..

Last night they gave Danielle a second application of the medicine that will help her cervix thin out. Since she hadn't been progressing much from the walking they sent the family home so that Danielle could get a good night sleep.

This morning, they went ahead and broke her water and last I heard (around 8:30 or so TN time) they would be starting Pitosin soon to get some contractions coming.

The hospital doesn't have wireless internet, so they aren't going to be able to add as many pictures as we were hoping. I will update every time I hear something so you can still check to see what's going on. Also, my mom promised she would go take pics of the baby as soon as he arrives. Hopefully she will be able to email them to me to post or find a way to post them herself.

Waiting and Waiting!

Soooo, we are walking with Danielle, waiting for stronger contractions. We are very excited about the arrival of Skyler and he seems to be taking his time. But Danielle has always taken her time so this is to be expected. Meanwhile, her mom and antie met with her doctor and boy is he cute!!! Anyway we believe she is in good hands. We will blog soon, though the hospital doesn't have internet so it may be a little while.

Just giving it a try && Dr update!

First of all- Thank you Laci fir setting this up for us!! Now hopefully we can keep it updated!!

I really just wanted to try it out- see how it worked... and just put the latest Dr update on here... even though most of you guys received the text of the news!!

Ok- So we had a Dr apt this morning, and my BP was still up. Our OB Dr has decided to send us in to induce tomorrow morning, 9 AM. I am still only dilated 2 and effaced 60%. He said he is not as worried about the diltaing as he is how much I am thinned. He would like that number to be better... so they are going to try some cervical cream that takes up to 12 hours to work. From what he says, I could even need a 2nd round... plus delivery, so this could turn into a lengthy process! I am still having regular contractions.. and he believes that once I am thinned out more, the contractions will actually start to do someting more than just make me uncomfy! We will see!!

And as for many of you guys that are wondering YES Jonathan made it home!! He came in Friday after I called him cause of the problems I was having Thursdays. My mom is back in town and the Dr is back in the country! So everyone is in and ready... just waiting on Skyler.

And the final name is Skyler Davis Artie Frick!! Davis is for my moms family (its her madien name- and we recently lost her baby brother so I wanted to name him for him) And Artie my great-great grandmothers madien name... and it has been passed down to my mother and a close cousin of mine =) so I wanted to carry it on for them! We are still in the process of getting Frick changed to "VonFrick" due to the mix up on Jonathans birth certificate, but that will come later!

Waiting to meet Skyler :)

This will be the place for updates and pictures of Little Skyler once he makes his arrival!

Be sure to bookmark it and check back often and don't forget to leave Jonathan and Danielle lots of comments and encouragement. If you have a Google account, you can log in and leave a comment that way, or just choose "Name" and enter your name. I'm sure they will enjoy the support while they wait for their little guy to come!

Check back Monday for an update from Danielle's appointment :-)
