One week

So our little girl has been here with us for a week now. It has been absolutely wonderful, full of three am feedings and lots of dirty diapers! Aubrey is such a good baby, she only gets up the one time at night and hardly ever cries. We enjoy having her here with us, it was a long wait but it was worth every second.

Hope everyone has a good labor day weekend!

She has arrived!!!

So our little girl came into the world at 10:44 last night. I delivered by way of a c-section, after 13 hours of labor. The doctor thought it would be best because my contractions were strong but I had not progressed for a few hours. Well turns out she was "sunny side up" and wouldn't fit through my pelvis that way. But she is here and healthy, weighing 7 lbs 9oz and was 20.5 in long! Her Apgars were 8 and 9. Deffinately worth it all in the end. We are hoping to be able to go home tomorrow, I am pretty sore but I am up and walking so that is good. Aubrey looks just like her daddy. We are so glad to finally have her here with us, the wait was long but well worth it all!

Overdue...

Well three days overdue and still waiting somewhat patiently :) I went to the Dr. today and he scheduled an ultrasound for tomorrow, to check her approx weight, and the amniotic fluid level. If everything looks good with that then we will wait until next week to induce, if I don't go into labor on my own. But if she looks big or the fluid is low then we will induce this week. My body is doing something I am now dialated to a two, but only time will tell. So the waiting continues as for now.

Hope everyone is enjoying the last few weeks of the summer!! It is getting dark at 8:30 already, grr where did the year go???

Waiting on a girl...

Apparently our little one is just as stubborn as her parents! I had regular contractions that got closer together for six hours the other night, then they just stopped. And I haven't gotten them consistantly since. I have decided she is just being a girl and we will spend the rest of our lives "waiting" on her. But I am sure she will be worth it all in the end. I am just getting really anxious to see her little face, and hold her in my arms. I go to the Dr. again on Monday and if I haven't had her by then, I am going to ask him to induce on Tuesday. Since he will only let me go till the 22nd before inducing anyway. That way we can get her here before everyones schedules get busy. So with any luck I will only have to wait three more days, and what is three days after nine months right?

We got the property paid for last week!!! We should have a deed in a few weeks, and that will be one less headache. Things seem to be working out the way we have hoped. I am getting exciting to start looking for a home to put on it, though that is still a few months away. Mat and I are hoping to find a repo that has a floor plan we like, that way we can save a little money. With any luck this time next year we will be in our own home on our property!! Never thought I would be owning my own home before the age of 24 but it sure feels good.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone over the holidays! It has been to long since everyone was together. Well I hope everyone is doing well. Next post will contain pictures of the newest family member!!!

And we are still waiting...

So I went to the dr. today, everything is looking good he said. Baby has dropped quite a bit, he says when ever she decides it is time he will meet us at the hospital haha right. I am glad someone is finding humor in this extremely long game.

Well she has waited this long, I hope she at least waits untill after ten tonight. My dad and I are taking a concealed weapons class tonight. But that is my luck. Well I hope everyone is doing well.

Waiting game......

So I went to the Dr. today, he says everything is looking good. I am dialated to 1cm and my cervix is soft and thin. So we could have a baby anytime now!! Only ten more days till my due date. So lots of walking in my near future :).

Living with the parentals is going well. Mat and I are adjusting pretty well. He is pretty busy at work. It is just hiim and Bo now.

Not a lot to tell here so I will keep everyone posted with the little one. Hope everyone is enjoying August, where has the year gone??
