Can't get enough of him!

Here are some fun pics to enjoy. First, Dax got himself into a bind during naptime...we call him Houdini because he always manages to "escape" from being swaddled. The last pic is Dax just relaxing while mom is trying to burp him...its really tough being a baby. We are so in love with our sweet little boy. Thank you LORD for this precious gift!

BLOWOUT!

Today, May 14th, 2009, marks the first blowout in the life of Dax Danger Frazer...and let me tell you, it was dangerous! Daddy was holding him and all the sudden I saw poop bubbling out of the back of his diaper. That's when daddy said, "oh, gosh, I think I'm gonna gag!" So we hosed him down and now he as as good as new; cute as ever.

The sweetest boy EVER!

Ohhhh! I LOVE being a mom! Dax is the sweetest little baby ever. He sleeps great,,,eats great...already weighs over his birth weight...and is altogether content. My favorite time is feeding time. He is actually in my arms right now...not wanting to nap so that's all for my blog

Dax Danger Frazer

Hey everyone! Here I am! A sweet little boy, weighing in at 7lbs. 10oz., 20 1/2 in. long! I was born on Tuesday morning, May 5th at exactly 1 a.m. in the morning. My mommy had to have a c-section because I was crooked in her. We are all doing great and we love life! My mommy will update more when she is not so tired and sore. Thanks for praying for me so much!

Please pray with us

It is late on Saturday night and I am just sitting in the baby's room, praying and preparing my heart for this new phase in our lives. Tomorrow night, Sunday, Drew and I will head into the hospital where they will begin my induction process. LORD willing, we will have a baby sometime on Monday, May 4th. I just want to come to you and ask that you join us in praying for a safe and healthy delivery.

Throughout the latter half of my pregnancy God gave me a verse to be praying over this baby and over my own heart.
1 Samuel 1:27-28
"I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of Him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD."

There are so many unknowns and what ifs as we come into this new season...starting with whether or not the delivery will be safe and the baby will be healthy. I feel like the LORD is continually reminding me of this verse..."give him/her to Me, Drew and Stacy." We are so excited, so overwhelmed by God's goodness in keeping this baby safe for all these months, and so overjoyed at this baby joining our lives. Yet we want open hands to God's will for us; for how He wants to sanctify our lives through this baby.

Will you please pray that we would have hearts fully devoted to trusting the LORD? Thank you so much and we will keep you posted!
Love,
Drew and Stacy

40 weeks!

It seems like some great accomplishment to make it to 40 weeks...until you just keep going another day past the due date:). Well, I think these pictures describe how I feel. Actually, I feel great most days, but this day I actually felt quite miserable. I slept half the day away and was pretty achey the rest of the day. We went in for our final doctors appointment this morning. I am 1cm dialated and 60% effaced. Unless I go beforehand, I am getting admitted into the hospital on Sunday evening to try some natural inducing procedures. If I haven't started labor by Monday morning than they will officially induce me. WE CANNOT WAIT! The doc thinks the baby is in the 7lb. range right now. Please keep praying for baby Frazer. LORD willing, the next time I post we will have a baby! Thanks for all your prayers. P.S. sorry for the belly shot, but this "journal" is also for the baby to get to see someday.

OB Update

Well, good news today from my OB, Dr. Christensen. We had our weekly checkup this morning and my blood pressure has gone down. I am praising the LORD for the way He has been taking care of myself and this baby. It was a good time for me to get some forced rest (not something I am very good at when I know there is work to be done), and has really been a reminder that I need to keep getting rest as I get the chance so that I can take care of this baby now and when s/he is born. We got to have an ultrasound today, which was wonderful. It wasn't scheduled, but our Doc couldn't quite tell if the baby was head down or breech. S/he is head down, thank the LORD, but it's face up. So if it doesn't turn between now and labor we could have some added pain in the equation, or need to have a c-section. She gave me some ideas that could help turn the baby over. I am trusting the LORD and asking Him to turn this baby, but there are certainly worse things than a face up baby. It was fun to see the baby so developed and made me even more "anxious" for this sweet little baby to come into our lives. The doc said I was only dialated to the size of the tip of her finger, so she thinks I have a while still. It's good that the Creator of the universe and the Giver of life is in control of when this baby arrives. Thanks again for all your prayers!
