Hallelujah!

Ok, here's what's going on...
I had a doctor's appointment this afternoon, Dr. Lemberger did an exam, got a surprised look on her face, and asked if I'd been having contractions at all today. I told I had had a few throughout the morning (just braxton hicks), but that's it. She said, "ok, we're gonna have you go over to the hospital to be monitored because you're 5-6 cm!" I was totally speechless, and I'm glad my mom was with me because Kris was at work and if I had been by myself, I would have totally FREAKED OUT!
When we got over to the hospital, they hooked me up to the monitor and decided to go ahead and admit me and if I don't go into labor on my own tonight, they're going to induce at 6 am tomorrow morning!
So we're at the hospital now and are gonna have a baby most likely by tomorrow! We'll keep you posted!

waiting...

We are just sitting around waiting for Chloe to make her grand entrance. I would've said patiently, but I think I'd be pushing it a little. I'm so ready for this baby to come. I'm still having A LOT of lower back pain, I'm not sleeping, and I'm getting more uncomfortable everyday. I've been walking the past few days trying to get things moving along, but who knows if it's actually working. I'm 38 weeks so I guess I still have a couple more to go, but I really hope it doesn't take that long.
Sorry for the short post this week. I just didn't think you'd want to listen to me complain any more than I already have.
We'll keep you posted I guess. Have a great night!

Big Milestone = Big news

I'm now 37 weeks pregnant!!! Which means I'm full term!!! Yeah!!! Sorry I haven't posted in couple weeks. We've been having computer problems that we're still trying to work out, but we're at least able to use the internet now. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and I am almost 4cm dilated, my cervix is starting to thin, and Chloe's head is even lower now. I'm praying to have her this weekend. Dr. Lemberger is on call this weekend so that's an added plus, and it would be really nice to just have her already.
The past week or so have been really tough. I've been having a lot of lower back pain. It hurts when I sit, stand, lay, or just move in general. I haven't been sleeping well at all because of it, and I think I would classify myself as miserable right now. Just one more reason I'm praying to have a baby this weekend.
At 37 weeks, I'm not sure how much Chloe weighs or how long she is. Throughout my pregnancy I've been going by babycenter.com and my pregnancy books (which I totally need to stop reading by the way). But now, after having the second U/S a couple weeks ago, we know those estimates are wrong in our case. If the average weight gain (about 1/2 a pound a week) is correct, then she's close to 6 lbs. now.


We've taken one belly shot every month of my pregnancy, and this one is, hopefully, gonna be the last.


We'll keep you posted...
