Here I Am

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To our surprise Jackson Christopher arrived by cesarean at 7:33pm weighing in at 6 lbs and 19 1/2 inches long. We are all shocked, but soooo excited. Check back tomorrow for more details and pics of our precious little boy.

Update

I have an epidural now so everything is a lot better. :) I am 3cm and we are just waiting for Madison to make an appearance.

So far

As of 9:30 this morning I am 2-3 cm and still 50% effaced. They have started the pitocin and my contractions are close and they HURT. I asked for my epidural and they asked me to try to wait a little longer. Hopefully I can have it soon because I don't like pain. :)

Last Office Visit

Today I had my last office visit before we FINALLY meet Madison. Dr. Barron said that I am still 50% effaced and 2 cm. I am scheduled to be induced Monday the 25th at 6:30am. We can't wait!

False Alarm

Early Monday morning around 3:00am we made a trip to the hospital, but unfortunately they sent us back home around 7:30am. My contractions were close enough together, but not long enough in duration. I have dilated 2 cm and still 50% effaced. My normal office visit is Tuesday so maybe we will make some more progress by then. :)

PROGRESS

Today I had another exam and to my excitement I have dilated 1 1/2 cm and I am 50% effaced. Dr. Barron said if I am dilated to 2 cm and 60% effaced by my appt. next week she will schedule me to be induced on the 25th. Please pray that my body continues to cooperate so we can all meet Madison soon.

36 week check-up

Today was the first exam I had to measure my cervix and it was quite an experience. From what Dr. Barron could tell I haven't dilated anymore than 1/2 cm. Madison is now measuring exactly 36 weeks instead of a week ahead. Her heart rate was strong and now we are only waiting for her arrival. Hopefully by next week I will have started to dilate some more. 40 weeks is a long time to be pregnant. I am ready for this stage to be over and raising Madison to begin. :) Check back next week to see if we have made any progress.

Our latest check-up

Madison is head down and just about ready to meet us all. Her heart rate was fast and strong. My blood pressure was up a little, but Dr. Barron said it was probably just because I had a headache and wasn't feeling great. And of course my legs and feet have started to swell. Only 8 weeks to go!

Hot Momma!!

I am 32 weeks in these pics








































Jenn is 17 weeks and just found out she is having a baby girl too. :)

Doctor Visit

We had another appt. and we are still doing GREAT. Madison is measuring 31 weeks and I am 30 weeks. The nurse had to chase Madison around my belly to hear her heartbeat, she just didn't want to sit still. The Doctor said all of my aches and pains are normal and we are progressing normally. Madison has been accepted as a patient of Dr. Bashinsky's and I have pre-registered. We are ready for her to arrive or at least we think we are ready. :) Only 10 weeks to go!

Growing

I am 29 1/2 weeks in these pics.

Our Check-up

We had our glucose test today and passed with flying colors. Hip Hip Hooray!!! But we also found out that Mommy is anemic and she has to take iron pills. Mommy is realizing how hard it is to make a baby. It is all worth it though. :) We only have about 3 months left.
