New Pics

No time to post...just a few new pics! Check out those dimples!

Quick Update

I just wanted to do a quick update. I'll post more info about delivery, etc. once things settle a bit more. We are having our long sleepless days and nights right now, so when Sydney sleeps, we try to nap and get things around the house done, and when she's awake, we just like staring and talking to her. We are "camping out" in the den for now because I have to sleep sitting up because of my incision. So Jeremy is sleeping in here with me on an Aerobed and Sydney is in her co-sleeper. I'm still taking Percocet for pain, so I'm always a bit "drunk". Breastfeeding is very time consuming and painful, but going great overall. I never thought I would say this, but it's the most precious thing ever. The nurses told me I had really great "equipment" for it.

So, once I sober up and we get re-organized around here, I'll update. Here are some pictures of our little love monkey.








This is what we found on our driveway when we came home on Monday. Our neighbor's daughter, Carol, drew it for us. She will also be our babysitter. They are so awesome - they brought over Lasagna dinner and some yummy brownies for us Tuesday night. Thank you Tracie, Pat, and Carol!

It's a baby!!

Finally after much anticipation and an emergency C-Section, we had Sydney Laine on Friday May 11, 2007 at 6:33pm. She weighed 8lbs 11oz and was 20.5 inches long. I'm still pretty out of it and on lots of pain medication, so I've just picked out a few pictures to post and I will blog more and post more pics in a couple of days once we get to go home and get settled.

And for all of those wondering...She has 2 big dimples! (but I haven't gotten good pictures of those yet).

No luck...

The hospital sent me home. Apparently they weren't concerned about the slow leak of water that I was having this morning since I haven't started having contractions. I swear my Dr. is trying to see if I can have the longest pregnancy ever! They tell you in the labor and delivery class to come to the hospital if you have any kind of leak. But today the hospital told me to come back only if it gushes or if my contractions are 5 minutes apart. I'm still 2-3 cm and I'm about 65% effaced. Oh well...

Did my water break?

Not sure. I think so...so Jeremy and I are headed to the hospital. We will keep you updated...

Never Doubt My Insanity

If you check the time of my post, you'll see that it's after 5:00am. I think a MATA bus hit me while I was sleeping, because there can be no other explaination as to why I am so sore and stiff. I woke up to go to the bathroom, and as usual about this time of the morning, I have restless legs and can not lie back down without going insane. I sometimes also get a "crawling" sensation and it feels like I have ants or small bugs on me and I itch everywhere. Then I get paranoid and make sure there aren't actual bugs in the bed. And this morning to add to all of that, I feel like I tried to pick up a car. I can barely lift my arms or move my legs and my back is totally shot. I think I was a crazy person before I got pregnant, now I'm sure I've removed all doubt. So it is true, our moms weren't always insane. There was a time when they were normal, then they got pregnant and were never the same.

Induction Date

My induction date has been set for Monday May 14 at 7:30 am.

Here are some pictures of Sydney's room.
