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.
