Welcome baby Boeckmann

Just wanted to give all of you followers an update:

Gracelyn Kate Boeckmann was welcomed into the world today at 11:41 am. She was 7lbs, 10 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. Accourding to Mama she looks just like her daddy but she has really dark hair!! Jenna did an amazing job delivering after 55 hrs of labor! Yes, you read that correctly. She has more strenth then any other woman I know!! Mommy, Daddy, and baby Gracelyn are all doing well. I have truly never seen them all so happy!! Congrats to the Boeckmann/Torud Family!!

So....Where have I been?

I will be honest..I have been feeling sorry for myself. Soooo sick of being pregnant and yet I haven't even hit my due date yet! I have posted some pics of myself...I have stopped caring what I look like...I am just warm, fat, and uncomfortable. I just want to meet this little girl. So progress....I think I have contractions, but I really don't know because I have never been pregnant before! I had an appointment last week on Thursday and I was not dialated or effaced. That was depressing....but I know I just need to be patient! I went in this morning and she told me that again - I was not quite a centimeter but I was 60% effaced...so that wasn't horrible news. I am just so sick of this whole thing...I am crabby and need a change!! I need to not be pregnant any more! Now I just want to remind everyone that I know I need to wait until she is ready but I am just eager...and I am 39 weeks on Friday...so it isn't like I am asking for something outrageous..Wish me luck! I promise I will try to be in a better mood when I post again!
