Our Baby Girl is here!!!

Well she's here and doing great! I started having real contractions today at about noon. We hesitated going to the hospital because I didn't want to be sent home, but about 2:15 my contractions got really strong and close together, so we figured it was time to go. I got to the hospital at 3pm and was dilated to 7cm. The nurses rushed around to get me all checked in and an epidural in me asap. After less then 10 minutes of pushing, our little bundle of joy arrived at 4:48pm. She weighs 7.14 lbs and is 20 inches long. She's got lots of light brown hair, 10 fingers, 10 toes, and is cuddly cute as can be!

Still Waiting...

Today I went into the Dr. again and he had some pretty good news for me. I am dilated to 2cm and 70% effaced. He said that he thought I would have the baby this weekend or at least by the beginning of next week, based on how much I had progressed from last visit. He also said to make an apt. for next week, but he doubted that I would still be pregnant by then. So we'll see. I don't know how some ladies make it to their due date and beyond without going crazy...I am ready to have this baby!!!

Just Waiting Around...

Yesterday I went into the Dr. to see how the baby was progressing toward being born. The Dr. said that I was only about 1cm dilated and that the baby still had a lot of moving down to do. The news was a little disappointing since at this time in my last pregnancy I was at 2cm and Whitney was born 4 days later. Maybe I'll make it til December after all. He also said that if I did go all the way to 40 weeks that the baby would be between 8-9 lbs...ouch!! But luckily he said that he would induce me if I wanted at 39 weeks, I hope I go on my own before then.
