here's our story

We headed to the hospital to be induced Friday morning..an hour late. And on an hour of sleep:) I got an epidural right away. I'm not one of those people who needs to "feel" labor. Contractions started right away and I hardly noticed them at all. So I slept, and slept, and slept. After 7 hours of sleep I finally sat up and in 30 minute we went from 5 to 10...probably could have done that earlier. I only felt 3 "big" contractions and they were barely anything. Then the doctor came in and I sat there a while longer and then 4-5 pushes and there she was.

My labor and delivery are one thing that make my pregnancies worth the mess. That and the cute little one that comes from it. She has been very good so far. A very healthy eater who sleeps in about 4 hour blocks already. We'll see how that goes once we are home. Well speak of the devil she's up again so I better go. Love you all.

Almost done...

I had another doctors appointment yesterday. All is well and the same. I am still at a 3 and 50% effaced. We did end up going in last Friday because we were having contractions but after monitoring for an hour they stopped...not cool! So unless there is a miracle we will go in on Friday morning to be induced. I can't believe we only have 2 more days. It seems so weird.

I have been doing really good with staying up and active and getting things done during the day, that is until Monday. Since then I feel completely useless. It's not just that I am uncomfortable when I try to do things but I am in pain. Not just a little "get over it" pain but enough to stop me in my tracks and double over pain. It's not contractions though. The doctor said it's just because Keija is sitting on the nerves on my pelvis. What ever it is it HURTS!

Well this will probably be the last post until we have Keija so here is the last belly picture!

Doc again...

I had a doctors appointment today...it went well. Last Tuesday I was only dilated to just barely a 1 and today I was at a 3. I guess that's good. I'm not sure what to expect because I wasn't dilated AT all with Kailye when my water broke. The doctor also scrapped my membranes today. He said if my body is ready that should make me go into labor in the next 48 hours...if not it won't do anything. Oh well. I guess we will see. He didn't seem to think we'd make it through the weekend. I guess that's good news. He did say he's thinking that this baby is around 8.5 pounds...AHHHH...KK was 6.5 pounds. 2 pounds more seems like a lot. I am excited to see our new little one though. Kk is more than ready to have a sister...and to have "mommy back to normal"..she is not too happy when I can't run around the park with her as much as she was used to. I'm just ready to have my body back to myself:P Well we are off to costco...we need to make jam. Hopefullythe next post will have baby pictures on it.

Hmm??

So I really could have this kid any day now. Michael and I are both really hoping it will be on a thursday night or Friday so he doesn't have to miss too much work. But she'll come out when she wants I guess. I did run, okay it wasn't so much running as walking faster, a little on Saturday night with Kailye..but nothing happened...except that my pelvic bone was very sore. Oh well I have another doctors appointment tomorrow. We'll see what he says.

So I also need to ask him a question...I have been going to the pool with Kailye and I'm not so sure I would notice if my water broke. I noticed with Kailye because I was sleeping, but I never went into labor though. They started me 3 1/2 hours later to get contractions started. So what if it breaks and I don't notice and then labor doesn't start?...hmm?...not so sure. I guess we'll see what the doctor says tomorrow.

oh great.

I really can't believe this is almost over. It seems totally crazy. The doctor told me the other day they have my due date as the 27th not 25th...uh ok..so that whole 2 days makes a difference eh?...yeah, nope. I guess I will technically be at 37 weeks tomorrow..lol.

I called the on call doctor tonight because my blood pressure has been kind of funky today. I checked it this morning at 3 am because I just felt yucky and like my heart was beating pretty hard. Well it was 152/87...uhm...not so good. So I have been checking it every little while since then. The top number has been normal but the bottom hasn't been below 90 all day. So I called. I guess if my head ache doesn't go away with the tylenol I took a while ago and my vision doesn't go back to normal and my blood pressure doesn't level out than it's back to labor and delivery we go. I'm sure they will just send me home after an hour or so. Oh well, maybe we are far enough along if I go in a few more times they will just start me. We'll see how the next hour plays out:) Fun eh?

Staring tomorrow I think I am going to start running along with anything else to start labor...wish me luck:)

37 weeks

I had a doctor's appointment today. Everything is fine. If we do not have Keija before the 20th they will enduce me that morning. Let's hope we do not make it that far. I had felt pretty well the past few days but today it all caught up to me. I felt aweful all day. Poor Kailye was just bored to tears and spent far too much of her day watching TV. I really hope we only have a week or so left, but we'll see. Well since I sleep all day I am wide awake at night but I better try to get to sleep. Bye.

What a week

Well the doctor put me on leave...woohoo!!! I have been off work since last Tuesday and it has been a night and day difference with the hospital complications. We have only been in once since then compared to the 6 times in the 2 weeks before that. The doctor last week said starting next week, if we don't have a baby yet, they will start stripping my membranes. yay! I am actually enjoying having this little bit of time with just KK before we add another one. She has been pretty excited not to have to be dragged to anyones house and left there.





Mom is out of town until Thursday so she wants us not to have the baby until after that. Which is fine with me....I may be procrastinating but I haven't gotten anything ready to go yet and my house is an absoulte disaster!

So do you think we'll make it to Thusrday?

This is at 36 2weeks and 6 days! I'm not thinking we are going to make it another 3 weeks.
