Family of 6

We are home now and enjoying being a family of 6.
my whole pregnancy, labor and delivery, and home coming was a wonderful experience and what a blessing Bowen has been to our family.
I was scheduled to be at the hospital at 6am on January 5th to be induced.
When I got there I was already 4 cm dialated and 80 % effaced.
They got me hooked up to everything and broke my water at 7:30am then recieved my epidural at 8:30am. I took a short nap and the doctor came in at 10am to check me and said it was time to have a baby! I was already 10 cm.

After pushing for 40 minutes, Bowen Henry was born!!

My total time in labor was 3 hours 45 minutes, it was so easy that I slept through most of it!!
People have told me not to tell too many women that!!!

Jason bragged that I did not even mess up my hair and make-up!!

The kids are so excited to have thier brother home! They are asking every 5 minutes if they can hold him. I am so blessed to have these 4 children!!

I am so thankful for everything God has done for our family!





Bowen made it home yesterday just in time for the big championship game!
Roll Tide!!
He has been the best baby. He never cries, and eats and sleeps wonderful!!
I feel great and I am glad to be home with all my precious babies!

Glas Family Christmas 2009

Thursday, December 24, 2009

We are still here, and Bowen is not yet!

I have had many phone calls and emails wondering what is going on with us, thanks for being concerned!! We are fine, lets just say I have been very tired and uncomfortable lately!!!
My kids are just a beautiful and sweet as ever...
We have the cradle ready to go...
Bags are packed and ready to go...

Everyone is ready for Bowen to join us...

And Bowen is growing...

I have been 2 cm and 50% effaced for 3 weeks now, so that is frustrating!!! At my doctors appointment yesterday everything looked good and I have gained a total of 21 pounds. They are still saying Bowen could come any day and if he is not here by Jan 5th they are going to induce me that morning, at least we have an ending point now!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!!

Ready or Not...

Ready or Not, we are on the final countdown now!!

Align Center

A lady in our church made this beautiful bow for my hospital door and then mailbox.

We have cradle together, the car seat installed, everything washed, closets reorganized, pantry stocked, and bags packed!! At my Dr. appointment this week I was already 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced, which I know does not mean Bowen is coming tomorrow, but scared me enough to get ready just in case!!!

The kids and Jason are hoping for a Christmas Baby.

Catch Up Post (Pregnancy Pictures, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Tree)...

This is a catch up post!!!
Since we did not travel home this Thanksgiving some of our family came in shifts. We had a wonderful time with everyone and we are so thankful for the company! But I have been completely wiped out since everyone left, I hear that happens when you are in your 8th month of pregnancy!!
So, first are some pregnancy pictures to see how much Bowen is growing.


I am 34 weeks now and have gained a total of 19 pounds. Everything is going "perfect" and Bowen is doing wonderful. But then again how could I ever complain about anything! My favorite thing about the pregnancy so far is that Bowen goes crazy everytime he hears his Daddy's voice!!
Thanksgiving was wonderful and enjoyed having people in our home. I did very little cooking and cleaning, so that made it even nicer!! We also went Christmas tree shopping and got that decorated - Just incase Bowen wants to come early!!
We have so many things to be thankful for this year, it is some times overwhelming to me how Great our God is to us!!
Enjoy...
