Rylan is home!

Rylan is home and doing great! She had a great first night at home. Big sister, Jadyn, helped give her a bath! She is sleeping great, eating great, and is just a wonderful baby! Here are a couple of new pictures.

Induction tomorrow 9-26-08

This is the last belly picture of me before Rylan's arrival! I am 37.5 weeks. I will be induced in the morning. I am dialated to 3 and 50% effaced. Tomorrow is also Poppie's birthday(Jeremy's grandfather).

9-18-08

Thankfully, Rylan is still looking great! The doctor has me scheduled for an induction on Sept 30th. I am dialated to 2 and 50% effaced. I am very thankful because that means an easier induction. I would still rather go into labor without being induced...most importantly is God's will first!

Jadyn's birthday party is coming up this Saturday! She is very excited!

My mom should be here in a few hours! She is going to be here for probably 3 weeks! Thanks mom for being willing to spend that much time away from home!!!

36 weeks

This is what I currently look like! And yes, I know that my shirt and pants dont match.

Rylan is still doing great! The ultrasound says she weighs 5lb 1oz today. She is still growing and moving! I am still having contractions here and there. Doctor says that if needed they will give me a shot to stop contractions until 36 weeks. After that, they will just let me go. I am not having them regularly so I am not concerned about that. I am just excited and trying to patiently wait for the next part! I cant wait to see what God has in store for our family!!!

Hospital Visit

Yesterday, I was having some contractions about 30 minutes apart, but they made me feel like I needed to push. So, I called the nurse and she told me to go to the hospital to be checked out just incase(it was after doctor hours when she returned my call). They hooked me up to the fetal heart monitor and the contractions monitor. They said Rylan's heart rate was "text book" baby. Which is very comforting. I was having contractions, so they gave me a shot to stop them. The nurse checked to see if I was dialated. I am dialated to a 1, 30% effaced, and baby is at -2 station. I was concerned because I have never been dialated before being admitted to the hospital for real labor. The doctor reassured me that all of this is normal for a 4th pregnancy at 34 weeks. Rylan is very low, so I am and will continue to have alot of pressure & pains until she is born. I have my regular ultrasound & doc appointment on Thursday. I will update again then. I have not been put on any restrictions at this time. I am still, randomly, feeling the urge to push. I am just sitting and resting until it passes.

On a different note, Jadyn started preschool yesterday at the church. She had an awesome day! One of her preschool teachers is also one of her Sunday School teachers. And she already knew 2 of the kids in her class. It is so fun to watch her be so excited about preschool. She said she wants to go everyday! Her first soccer game for the fall is Sat. She is back with the Power Pups now. She is, of course, very excited about soccer too!

Cameron is a little dissappointed that he is not in preschool. Honestly, I didnt think he would want to go. But it was nice yesterday spending time with just him for a while.
