9.3 Week Appointment

Well I had an OB appointment yesterday, and was a little nervous.  I don't like the beginning appointments.  I first realized while sitting on the examining table there were kittens on the ceiling, so I guess you could say that distracted me a little.  Then my new Dr. came in  (I actually liked him, too bad I will have to switch in four weeks) and introduced himself.  He looked at my chart and told me I was a baby pro so my husband needed to deliver this one.  I politely told him Chris would not be interested in catching.  He then tried to listen for the heartbeat, but could not find it and assured me that it was really a little too early to hear it, so I would come back in three weeks.  I really wanted to hear it, but we will just have to wait.  After my exam he told me that I had an amazing structure for birthing large babies (thanks, I think).  I don't look forward to yet another big baby, but I am sure things will go as planned, and probably not my plan.  I have now gained 2 pounds.  And am starting to feel a little less sick all the time.  However I have gained a new since of dizziness, and a nice pinched nerve already, but that I know is all part of it.  I am trying to find the joy through out all of this even though I don't really like being pregnant.

The "situation" is being made known!

Well in the midst of everything that we have going on right now (I will post more on that later) we just found out we are expecting baby #3 also going to be known as our "situation."  Thanks Crystal for giving "it" a name, you know how I feel about calling a baby an "it."  We are excited and scared as usual, but the baby is due the end of September so maybe we will have some time to get a LOT of things in order!  So yes, I am almost 7 weeks and already fat, what's up with that?!  Just wanted to share some of our blessings with you!

Induction night

We arrived at the hospital at 8pm, and they hooked us up to the machines, Anison is doing great in there, and much to my surprise I was having regular contractions about every 15 minutes. The quickly came in to stick me for an I.V. and only had to do that twice, then they took what felt like all my blood. When they checked me I was 3cm and 60% effaced. Then they came in to insert the Foley Ball, this is a procedure I pray no one has to do, it took them four tries before they finally got it. I have been through labor before, and this is much worse, they should really give the epidural before hand. This device is suppose to stay in for 12 hours and make me dilate to a four or five, I am hoping it works. It is now 5:30am and I am contracting about every 10 minutes with some mild discomfort. We will see how long I can make it before I get the epi, which will definitely be around 8cm if not before. So, I am trying to keep my focus on the blessing inside, and hoping this doesn't take as long as predicted.
