Baby Meets Her Siblings…you know what they say about many hands! LOL

And baby’s first “sling ride” taken today at 1 week old!

I think she likes it in there!

She was born Saturday August 16th, 2008 at 10:36 a.m. weighing 7lbs 8oz, and 20.5 inches long! Labor and delivery went great and we are both recovering well! Here are some pics of our sweet blessing from the Lord! I’ll share our birth story and such in the coming week or so I hope. LOL Right now all we’re thinking about is enjoying her! :cloud0

Thank you for rejoicing with us!!

Things are getting iffy again blood pressure wise, so we’ve decided I’m going in to the hospital tomorrow morning at 5am for an oxytocin challenge test. If all is well, I’ll be sent home, but if everything isn’t going exactly as it should, then we’ll proceed with an induction. The Lord knows already which direction this will go, but prayers are most appreciated! If you don’t hear from me by tomorrow evening…then I’m having a baby and I’ll update when I get home!

BP still down, no protein, and nothing concerning found…so baby gets to stay put a bit longer!

Everything else (dilation/effacement) the same, except doc said he could feel that the presenting part (definitely head ) was up against the cervix now…at least at that moment.

Well I say nothing concerning…”I” was concerned about gaining 5lbs since Friday, YIKES! but didn’t say anything about it, and he didn’t mention it directly. He’s still antsy about the diabetes though and getting baby here …which is OK as I would expect him to be! So I go back in on Friday 8/15 at 2pm for a regular appointment when I hit 39 weeks and we’ll discuss more from there. Pray for wisdom for us all!

I’m back from my visit today and induction has been delayed! :lift I don’t want to say it’s off the table, because I said that before and it’s really not theoretically since if I hit my due date and haven’t delivered I will be induced based on my diabetes, but it’s delayed at least to give me the chance to go into spontaneous labor because my BP seems to be back down and holding for now. As far as everything else…it’s still the same. Same dilation, same station, same effacement. Oh and urine was clear today, so that’s all very good! He wants to see me back on Tuesday at 2pm!

Now on to the fun stuff….PICS!
