First days pictures

Sorry I haven't posted anything yet. I was working on one at the hospital but there were so many people coming in and out all day that it just never got done. BUT! Russ did just make a photo album today. http://picasaweb.google.com/russellmhill Feel free to check them out. Russ isn't as picky about how "flattering" the photo is.

Bennett's first day

Bennett Isaac Hill was born at 9:55 am on Wednesday 9-16-09. He weighed in at 6 lbs 15 ounces and he's 20 1/2 inches long. He and Kim are both doing fantastic. We are so blessed to have him join our family. Kim and I feel so grateful for everyone's prayers and support. Both Bennett and Kim are healthy and happy. Stay tuned and we'll keep you updated with more pictures and stories.

Reality coming up fast

We are now down to the LAST week. At my doc appointment yesterday my doctor set up a tentative inducement date for Sept 16th. So basically, come next Wednesday, Bennett will be officially forced out of his home where he seems quite content. Unless or course he decides to give up peacefully and come on his own. I have a feeling he wont. My official due date is the 14th. The doctor says that I'm "almost" two centimeters dilated. But this suborn baby seems freaked out by the light at the end of the tunnel. So instead of dropping like he's supposed to, he's keeping his distance. Also, I really don't get many Braxton Hicks. Or at least I don't feel them unless I just happen to have my hand on my stomach when it decides to knot up. It seems a whole lot closer now that there is an actual day to schedule in on my calandar.

solitary confinement

I need some ideas on how to pass all this time I have at home just waiting...

I've cleaned my house multiple times. I'm getting tired of this because it always seems to get uncleaned even faster.

I've pretty much finished all the projects I've been working on. I'm not really in the mood to start yet another one.

I've been doing lots of walking. Pretty much twice a day; once in the morning with friends, and once in the even with Russ.

I've practiced the piano a lot lately. This just makes me depressed that I'm not taking lessons these days.

I've given my dog multiple baths. Usually she's lucky if I give her a bath once every 6 months.

Everything is pretty much ready and waiting for this little guy to get here. My mind is blank. What am I supposed to do with myself for the next possibly and probably two and half weeks?!?! I'm so jealous of Russ that he can go to school and have other things to think about all day. I feel like I waste way to much time mindlessly perusing the internet completely bored and uninterested in most the stuff I look at just to pass the time. I need some distraction. I need a routine. I NEED some structure. Otherwise I think i'm going to go insane just waiting for things to get moving around here.
