This is the cutest

This is Jonathan Andrew Barfuss! He was born March 11, 2009 at 12:06 P.M. He was 6 lbs 3 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. He was 3 weeks early and one day before he would have been considered full term. Things went fast that morning! My water broke at 4:45 in the morning and I knew I didn't wet the bed since I went to the bathroom a half hour before that plus it was a lot! I tapped Jason on the shoulder and said, "honey I think my water just broke!" Jason said, "really are you sure you didn't wet the bed?" He told me to go and sit on the toliet and see if it stops but it didn't. All of a sudden I was cramping and I was cramping bad! We laid down and Jason timed my contractions. They were about 4-9 mins apart. I was in so much pain so Jason called the doctor. She told us to get to the hospital. Jason grabbed our stuff and we got into our rental car (Our car was in the shop) I realized my water was still coming like a waterfall! I was trying not to sit on the chair and get it all over the rental seat but it was hard. Jason grabbed a roll of paper towels we had in there and I sat on that. We get to the hospital and the roll and seat were soaked. I waddled my way inside and people in the entry way were stairing at us. a lady grabbed a wheel chair for us and said here it might help. We get up there and set up and tested to see if it was my water and sure enough it was... I sprayed the nurse! haha! then I found out I was 3 and a half centimeters. an hour later I was 4. then 2 hours later I was at 8 centimeters... it was coming fast! an hour later I was ready to push! i had my epidural shot and I was ready to push! I pushed for an hour and out came a beautiful baby boy! He had the cord wrapped around his neck two times so the doctor cut it fast and they got him breathing. they watched him for that day in the nicu then finally I got to hold my baby in my arms! He was ours and so amazing! i cried so hard because I was happy! I looked over and jason was holding him and loving him and crying! it was an amazing moment for us! I will never forget how we felt and what happened that wonderful day when Heavenly Father sent a beautiful angel into my arms and into our lives! We can not be any more happy then we are at this moment!

Sorry about the look on my face! Jason was making me laugh and hurt! This photo was taken today March 10th, 2009! This is an update on my tummy. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger and more and more in my way! The baby was moving like crazy today and kinda bothering me while I did my homework. Its like he knew and he didn't want me doing it! I'm getting more and more excited as people can tell because I can't stop talking about it. I have been having dream after dream that I go into labor but I wake up and its nothing. One of these days I'm not going to believe it when it really happens. I go in on Thursday for another doctors appointment and they are going to do another stress test on the baby! My hips are hurting more and more and I feel like I'm going to fall apart! But thats life and I have to enjoy this now because I know next week it will get worse and the week after that! I'm so glad next week is spring break because then we can relax and I will have Jason home. Jason is getting just as antsy as I am. He is experiancing the "nesting" part of the pregnancy! Its cute!

I hope you all can see what I see! But here is an update on my baby and Us! Yesterday we went to get an ultrasound to see if the baby is doing good. Since I have been having problems and in a lot of pain and my blood pressure is high they want to keep an eye on me and the baby! Yesterday we got to see him and he is stubbord as usual! He kept kicking the thing that was on my tummy! Baby Jonathan was looking good though. The doctors were pleased with how he looked and reacted! when he saw the light he pressed his little chubby face against me! This picture is of his smashed cheek and his lips and nose and cute eye (Its a side view) I felt him press up against me at that moment my whole tummy got hard and his knee went right into my side. The doctor said he is about 5 lbs 11 ounces now! So if he decides to stay in until he is due he could very well be over 9 lbs. I have 3 and a half weeks till the due date and Jason was saying that next friday would be the perfect time to have him since the following week is spring break and he would get a whole week off from work and school! I told him I will see what I can do! But if the baby is really as stubborn as his mom and dad he will not come when we tell him to! He will come when he darn well feels like it! I'm just ready to have him since I hate all the pregnancy symptoms! the Doctors are preparing and so are we! We got his crib mattress today and we put the sheets and crib pad and blankets that we have gotten so far on the bed along with every stuffed animal that he has recieved! But we are waiting for the bumpers and quilt from Grandma Den Boer and then it will be complete... well the bed! I want to go out and buy some other things that we need and finish cleaning the room since I am ready for it to look like a baby room not a storage room! But thats what has been going on so far! This is what the crib looks

like so far! I also want to get little animal pictures

for the wall to decorate it a bit but I would have

to do that when Jason is not looking! He is a guy

and doesn't see a point in decorating it all cute!

But he just doesn't understand where I'm

coming from. He will love it when its all done though! He should be okay with it since I'm letting him keep his weight bench set up in there!

Oh well! I gotta love him! He is just so lovable!

My Baby shower in Rupert. This is all the stuff I got. Now I want to finish the baby room!

Jason was playing basketball on friday with his family and he stepped on the back of someones foot. He heard a pop and after that kept playing. It looks so much better. It was all purple/blue and his ankle was bigger then my swollen ankle. He is still in a lot of pain and is wearing a brace on it so it keeps it together! Ouch!!!

This is me today March 1, 2009. I'm so huge! I will try to take more pictures! 4 more weeks I'm so excited to hold him! It seems like he wants out so bad! He moves around like crazy. I was sitting in church today and my tummy was moving like waves on the ocean. The girl I was sitting next to looked over and giggled. He was a happy baby so happy he kicked me in the ribs. I am waiting for the right moment so I can get a good video of my tummy moving for all you to see! But it seems like he knows when I am trying because he stops moving. He is a stubbord child... I have no idea where he gets that from....Hehehe!
