The Latest News

I went to the doctor today and found out some very exciting news. First of all, I'm already at 3 cm., 60% effaced, and the baby's head is at a -1. All good things. Then she asks me what day we were supposed to be inducing and I said Thursday and she tells me that she remembers calling and scheduling everything, but she wants to make sure Thursday is still the day. Apparently when she called to schedule the inducing last week she was told that Thursday was full so I have been scheduled for Wednesday. As in, TOMORROW!! :) I'm having a baby tomorrow! I have to be there sometime between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m. and then everything will get started! I'll be spending the rest of the day trying to wrap my brain around this idea. Well, that and making sure everything is ready here at the house. I'm feeling excited, nervous, anxious...you know, all of those crazy feelings! So prepare to hear something tomorrow and hopefully we'll have lots of people who can come visit us! ;)

Ugh! You are so blessed to be so far along with out having had very painful contractions that entire time. With Ezra it took DAYS of pain to dilate that much and with Jonas it still took about 4 hours of painful contractions to get to 4 cm. I'll be praying that the induction goes smoothly or even better--that Karys will decide to come tonight! Get ready for your world to change and experience pain, love, and life on a whole new level. Love you guys and so excited for you!!

Yay! Even 24 hours less feels huge, doesn't it?! :-) I hope all goes well and quickly! Can't wait to meet that little girl. :-)

I am very excited for you! I bet you don't sleep at all tonight! I know I didn't... Enjoy the next couple of days with your precious baby!

And a last piece of un-ask-for advice: Don't feel bad if you are tired and need the baby in the nursery for a little while! You are paying for them whether you use them or you don't! And when you get home they don't get to come with you!

About Me

My photo
I've been a wife for over seven years, a mommy of one for 2 and a half years, and a mommy of two as of 12/28/10! :) I married Ryan on July 26, 2003. We always said we wanted to have kids sometime around our fifth anniversary. The closer that time came, the more we started thinking we still needed another year. However, God held us to our original plan because Karys Elizabeth was born July 30, 2008...4 days after our 5th anniversary. :) I quit my job teaching kindergarten to take on the much more rewarding "career" of stay-at-home mom. There are some days that are hard, but I love it just the same. God surprised us again in May 2010 when we found out we were having baby #2. I went through the entire pregnancy expecting him to go past his January 9, 2011 due date since his sister was overdue. However, Zane Elliott surprised us by making his debut on December 28, 2010, and we wouldn't have it any other way! Now that we have "one of each" we could be "done" with our family, but hopefully that won't be the case. :)
