pumpkin patch fun!

we got to enjoy a sunny day fall day and went to the pumpkin patch. i can't believe there were actually a few left! although we did see a lot of rotted pumpkins and brown corn stalks!!! oh well, better late than never. callie had a good time even though she looks very serious in most of the shots we took. i think she was checking everything out !

here is a few shots of the girl- and a family pic!

good news!

everything looked great at my appt today. i have a scheduled induction at 6:30 am tomorrow morning. i am already dilating so hopefully things will go smooth and i won't need any of the pitocin or other meds to get things rolling!


i will post an image of the newest family member soon!

it's scheduled!

well......... my appt went well today, i have another on wednesday and then thursday is the big day. ( unless things happen on there own ) so the baby's bday could be october 18.
i was ready to stay at the hospital today and meet our little girl, but it looks like i will have to wait.
thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.

okay... so what's your secret???

i can't seem to get callie into her new bed! she thinks it is some kind of game and soooooooo funny! ( although i am not the one laughing! ) so mom's please do tell! after i try for a while with no sucess, she ends up in her crib where she doesn't fuss, complain or nothing and then....... she is OUT! fast asleep.
i so wanted her to be in her new bedroom BEFORE the baby came....... doesn't look like that is going to happen!

good news!

i had my appt on thursday my fluids are up! 8 cm and my other tests had good results too. we will have another visit to the peri and more u/s and testing on monday oct. 15 and that will start week 37 for me. i am sure baby will be here this next week! thank you all so much for your prayers - we are doing really well and excited to meet our new little girl!
she still needs a name though! hahaaha

more updates

wow, what a bit of a stressful week we have had.
we had some testing done at our appt on monday and things looked pretty good ( baby movement and such )
my doctor gave us some options and decisions need to be made.
depending on how my appt goes on thursday ( baby stress test, fetal monitoring and fluid check ) we may either be going straight to the hospital or scheduling an induction for monday october 15.
i will be just starting my 37th week.
my fluids are at 7 cm right now and basically if they are at a 5, then we would be going to deliver the baby.
if all is well on thursday i can either set up the induction appt for monday ( knowing there is a chance the baby may be in the NICU for a few days to a week ) or i can wait and have another appt on monday to check everything and then decide to set up an appt . it is all going to happen within a few days of each other regardless.

we would be asking for your prayers for this to happen for our family:
thursday appt goes well, fluids are up to a 10, i could wait and not set up an induction appt. i would have appts next week to keep monitoring baby and then at 38 weeks ( oct 22 ) my body would naturally go into labor . baby wouldn't have to go into the NICU.

oh! and we thought callie had gotten the chicken pox over the weekend she broke out in a rash, but on monday's appt the said it was a reaction to her antibiotics from her ear infection. my poor little girl. good news now is no pox, and no rash!

thank you for all your thoughts and prayers during this time for our family.

Baby Christ Update

Hi everyone, we just got back from the doctor visit and my fluids are down a bit from 3 days ago . they were a 9, then 8 and now a 7 . the perinatologist wants me to be monitored 2 times next week and said i most likely woudn't be going past 37 weeks before they would just induce me due to my fluid levels.
it is going to be real soon that we will be a family of 4!!!!
please keep us in your prayers for a healthy baby and safe delivery!
love,
jason, lindsay callie and baby c.
