Happy Halloween

GRAHAM MICHAEL IS HERE!

On Wednesday, October 21 I was induced at approximately 12:00 Noon. All through the night I was on a low dose of Pitocin until my doctor broke my water at 5:21 in the morning. Things then progressed very quickly and by 8:30 I was ready to push! The nurse thought things would go very quickly, but she was WRONG! At 12:13 PM Graham Michael was born weighing 7 lbs, 21 inches long. He was absolutely perfect in every way! The recovery has been a slow process, but every day is getting better. Having Graham at home is amazing and Mike and I are loving every second of being parents. It is such a blessing to be a mom!

This is the week...

So as of yesterday, I am 39 weeks pregnant. My Dr.'s appointment last week went very well. Baby O gained approximately 11 ounces and is doing well. However, the Dr. said that if I don't naturally deliver before my next appointment, I should plan on going straight to the hospital to be induced. In the meantime, I have tried every "wives tale" to get this baby out on my own, none of which seem to be working. I have been having lots of contractions, but nothing that amount to anything! He must be very cozy in there! Anyways, we will finally get to meet our little guy this week! I am so excited and just a little nervous for the induction.

Full Term!

So we have reached "full term." I guess that means that baby is ready to be born any day now...We went to the Dr. last Friday for an ultrsound and the little guy is measuring a little small. The Dr. is going to keep a close eye on things, but it may mean that I will be induced before my due date! Either way, baby is coming soon!!! I go back on Wednesday for another checkup. I will keep you posted on any baby news.
