HADLEY UPDATE

So we went to the doctor yesterday, nothing
too exciting happened. I officially have strep
again- no worries on a different antibiotic safe
for the little one!! She is measuring well, dropping
continuously and her little heart is pumping about
150 times per minute!! I am still 2 cms dilated
(dang it) and I'm 80% effaced now (oh just moving
along at the pace of a snail). He is aiming for
the 15th and if she's not here but the 18th we
are going to induce (I'm not complaining at this
point- seriously)!
Keep checking the blog for updates as I see him
weekly now!

9 Months Along

We have now had all my showers for Hadley,
and I can honestly say that I think we
are ready for her to come!!!

Here are a few pictures of me and my sister
who came into town for my shower- bless her.







We now have the nursery ready full of all her little things!!

UPDATE

I know I need to put a picture up so you can see the
ridiculousness, but the internet is down at the house?!?!
So all you get is a blurb update.
Doctor's appointment yesterday...
Everything is PERFECT!!
Her heart rate is in the 140s.
She has began to descend!
I am 2 cm's dilated and 50% thinned already...
(never thought I would share such intimate details ha)
meaning- not sooooo long and she will be here!

Hadley's Nursery

In my nesting phase,
I made Mark bust out the nursery
and get at least her crib set up.
Here is the final product (minus
her furniture which will be in
within the week!) Hadley and I
have been very blessed in how
much help Mark is, I can't wait
to see them together!!!!

ELLA MARIE

PERFECT, ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!
ENJOY THE PICTURES...


I couldn't get enough of her on my one day trip home!!


She has a squeak that makes your heart melt!



Evan is such a good big brother!

Childbirth Classes and Update

Mark and I began childbirth classes at the beginning of the new year. They are interesting, ha. We are learning lots of stuff and I know it helps Mark feel more comfortable with this overwhelming process- he is going to be such a good helper.

We also saw the Doctor, the 16th. Her heart rate was good, my measurements are good, I have gained a total of 29lbs and officially hit 9 months pregnant over the weekend. Now I see the Doctor weekly, I will attempt to keep everyone updated!

UPDATE!

At 32 weeks (Dec 28th) everything with
Hadley was in check. She weighed in at
4 lbs 13oz (Large and in charge!) The
picture is of her face, once you find
her nose you can see her features.
