Baby's Here!!!

This is Bridgit posting for Ehlan! I am the lucky one who gets to share her and Ryan's exciting news! They had a baby BOY!!! She was induced this morning (my times are VERY approximate as I talked to Ehlan very briefly on my cell phone while driving and trying to talk to my husband as well) around 9:30, and had the little squirt sometime around 5pm. Mom and baby are doing great!
His name is Aiden Ryan (hopefully I have spelling right?), and he weighed 7 lbs 10oz and is 19 inches long. When I talked to Ehlan, Olivia was on her way to see him, so Ehlan will have to post all the details about how much big sissy loves her little brother!!

Congrats guys!
Love,
Bridgit

The end is near...

I had my appt. this morning and I am officially being induced tomorrow--unless I still go today!!

Hooray! Alicia, don't worry, nothing is wrong with me or baby, we're just getting this thing done with! I'm ready!

Pray that I still go today; that would be the best, otherwise prayers tomorrow would be awesome! My spirits are high today!!

...still pregnant...

I'm not going to church this morning because I don't want to talk to everyone about how I'm STILL pregnant.

Maybe it's not so bad...

I mean, look at how productive I can be!

For the freezer:

3 containers of chili

2 containers of spaghetti sauce

3 lbs. browned hamburger

1 more HUGE crock of soup (not pictured)

And my mom came over and we organized my closet. I guess being pregnant still has it's perks. (Don't listen to that baby; you are still welcome to come out, like yesterday!!)

You know you're REALLY pregnant when... PART 2

Your husbands shirts no longer cover your belly!! :)

I survived "D-day" yesterday! Talked with Susan this morning and she said that if I haven't had the baby by Monday morning, that most likely we will be able to move my induction up to Tuesday. Hooray! That gives me hope! She also said that she is sure I'm going to go before then anyway so it won't matter...I sure hope she's right!!

Here's a smile for the day-- This was Olivia's bath on Christmas Day; Ryan made it extra special for her. She said-- Oh, I like bubbles! :)

Thank you lilypie ticker, for reminding me that I am 40 wks. pregnant today. :)

I am so tired!!

Stripped & a plan

(Still pregnant.)

In much better spririts today though! At my appt. this morning, my midwife stripped my membranes (Holy OUCH!) so I'm hoping that will kick things into gear. If not, I have another appt. on Monday and then the plan is to be induced on Thursday. I'm hoping I can get in on Tuesday for induction though--I'll call on Friday to find out.

Thanks for your sympathy yesterday! I appreciated it! Pray that this little one comes out soon!

Dealing...

Wow--I seriously am ready to be done being pregnant.

I did not feel this way with Olivia; yes, I was ready to be done, but it wasn't this crazy, emotional, seriously get this thing OUT of me feeling that I have this time. Today is hard b/c this would have been the day I had Olivia (2 days before due date). I also just found out that a friend of mine, due a WEEK AFTER me, is going in to be induced in 15 minutes. While, I am very happy for her, particularly b/c one of their other children has major medical problems and they have already filled their deductible for the year, I am feeling miserable and selfish for myself.

In the last 24 hours I have: eaten spicy Thai food, gone for a walk, cleaned the house, pumped several times, and drank like a gallon of raspberry tea...oh yes, and tried the "unmentionables".

I think I may be pregnant forever.

Crazy relatives!

That's all I have to say...

Christmas 2008

And yes, I'm still pregnant...
