39 weeks.....Update & Induce

Tuesday morning before the Dr.....
feeling pretty miserable....


So I didn't get the update done on Tuesday because I have been well tired! LOL! The good news is we will be induced tomorrow, Thursday. On Tuesday I was almost 3cm but not quite and 80% effaced so she thought I might go into labor on my own between then and Thursday, but here it is 10pm on Wed and nothing. So the plan is to call the Hospital tomorrow morning at 5am and find out what time I am scheduled for. So one way or another Colton will be here sometime tomorrow. Please say a prayer for a calm and quick labor and for a healthy happy baby! I can't wait to hold my miracle in my arms. I promise to get a pic or two up as soon as possible.

Love and God Bless from the soon to be family of 3!

Dr. Update - 38 weeks....

So on Wed we were officially 38 weeks and we went to the Dr. Things are progressing. I was 2.5cm and 75% effaced. To say that I am very uncomfortable is an understatement cause I am in down right pain. He is firmly lodged in my pelvis and under my ribs.....he's a big/long boy! Everything was good with both him and me and she said OK here is the plan....make an appt for Tuesday (if you make it to Tues) and call the nurse first thing in the morning to schedule induction for Thursday May 19th again if you make it that far. So that's the plan, he will either be here any day now or I will be induced on Thursday May 19th. And by the way, do you know what else Thursday May 19th is???? Well its my 2 year anniversary of my gastric bypass surgery. It would be great to give birth to my little miracle on the 19th because that day would definitely be a double blessing and a great reminder of how planning for our miracle started the day of my surgery! So that's the latest in our world. We have everything ready, everything packed and we set to go whenever he is ready or on Thursday. My nerves are starting to get the best of me, and the pain well that's getting old, but it will all be worth it and a blessing as soon as my miracle is in my arms. Oh I can't stop dreaming of that day. Please keep us in your prayers and we will keep you posted on our progress this week.

Love and God Bless to you all!

Maternity Photo Shoot....37 1/2 weeks

37 Weeks.....officially full term!

I can't believe we are so close to the end already. It really does seem like just yesterday I got the positive pregnancy test. Todays Doctor appt went great. I lost weight again, so I have gained a grand total of only 13.5 lbs! My BP was 110/68 and his heart rate was 154. She said we are both doing perfect. I am still at 1 cm dilated and I have progressed to 60% effaced. She said my cervix was very soft and she fully expects him to come by my due date. She said that if she stripped my membranes today we could have him in a week but she wanted to wait until next week to possibly do that. So we will see what happens next week. She did say that she won't let me go past 39 weeks because he is so large. So one way or another wether its by his own will or by being enduced he will be here in about 2 weeks! Wow....this is starting to freak me out a little. I just can't wait to have my miracle in my arms. I will post some pics later this week. Until next time, blessings to everyone!
