Damian is here!

Wow… I don’t even know where to begin.  I gave birth Thursday morning, at 11:10am.  I was only in labor for 4 hours (from induction to delivery).  I only had hard contractions for about an hour… so all in all, things went really fast.  I did get an epidural, the pain was more than I […]

Back from the doctor

I’m back from two doctors visits… I saw the high risk doctor today, and we took a final look at Damian.  He looks so good.  He has hair!!  My amniotic fluid levels are great, and Damian was practicing breathing and doing just wonderful.  That is my last visit with that doctor.  I left there and […]

Damian is almost here

I saw both of my doctors today.  I had contractions this afternoon, but they have stopped for now.  The baby weighs 5lbs and 11ozs.  Everything looks really good as far as the baby is concerned, but my placenta is still getting worse.  I am 36 weeks and 4 days along, and the doctors are both […]

Email from Rob

Rob emailed me today, and sent two pictures.  He is doing well, he has been over there for almost 2 months now.  He is very proud to be serving his country, but he’s very anxious to get back home!  I get an email from him every day now… and he is in pretty good spirits, […]

Baby Updates

I had two doctors appointments this week.  One on Monday, and one today.  I saw my regular doctor for both appointments.  Monday’s appointment I just got hooked up to the fetal monitors, and had some routine tests done.  Everything was fine.  Today was basically the same thing, I was hooked up to the monitor for […]

Damian’s heartbeat is strong

I just got home from seeing my regular doctor today.  I spent some time hooked up to the fetal monitors, while they watched the baby’s heartbeat and my contractions.  He has a very strong heartbeat, and my contractions are about 20 minutes apart, but they’re pretty light.  My cervix is unchanged, so it’s still 90% […]

Damian is getting big

I went to see the high risk doctor today.  They checked Damian’s growth, and he now weighs about 5lbs 2ozs.  He’s getting really big really quick!!  He looked absolutely fantastic.  My placenta shows a bit more wear, but Damian is obviously still getting his nutrients, they also checked to make sure I didn’t have any […]

Another doctor’s appointment

I went to the doctor today, I am still 1cm dilated and 90% thinned out.  I am basically unchanged since last Thursday.  I am still having contractions… so the doctor says I should have this baby any day.  He wants to see me every other day from now on, so that they will know if […]

Doctor’s appointment

Well, this has been quite an eventful week!!  I went to see my regular doctor on Monday, and while I was hooked up to the fetal monitors, I started having contractions.  The doctor sent me right over to labor and delivery at the hospital, and apparently my cervix had already started thinning out, and I […]

Labor just around the corner…

I started having contractions last night!!!  I went to the doctor today, and they are about 8-10 minutes apart.  My cervix hasn’t started dilating, so I’m not in labor… but labor could be just around the corner.  All I can do now is take it easy, and pay attention to how close the contractions are… […]
