Got Baby? Avez vous un bebe?

I had my 2ND doctors appointment today. Blood pressure was a bit high for me but still in the normal range, I was a bit stressed being paranoid something will go wrong. Anyways the Doctor used his little doppler thingy and we got to hear the heart beat again that was so relieving to hear a nice strong heart beat. We weren't sure if we would actually hear it since my uterus is tilted it can make it harder to find. I have another ultra sound scheduled for Jan 5Th. I will be 15 1/2 weeks for that one, its with a specialist and a high tech ultrasound to check for down syndrome. And then depending on the results they may recommend more tests.

Awe, I am happy everything is ok. I am sure there will be no problems at your next ultrasound. I wish you luck

OMG!!! Congrats!! I hope both mom and little one are doing well!!

I had my 39wk appt today, and have finally started making some progress, so my fingers are crossed that it won't be too much longer before I get to meet my little girl!

Since I'm retarded and don't currently own a printer, I called the Canadian Consulate of Dallas and they're mailing me a application packet and instructions. :3 They're mailing it out today, Woohohooo

And thank you so much everyone for the congrats.

Just checking up on Colleens. How are you feeling any signs yet or are you already at the hospital?

Our LO arrived this morning at 5:28. I went to my Dr's appt yesterday and found out that my fluid levels were low so they decided to do an induction. We started at just after 5pm last night, and I made it to about 8pm and 6-7cm before I decided an epidural would be a good thing. They broke my water right after the epidural and within about 30 mins I was at 8cm. So I got to thinking this isn't going to be too bad!! It took awhile to get to complete, then the pushing began. She didn't want to get out from behind my pelvis, so I ended up pushing for close to 4hrs. I had about a 45min break about halfway through where they just let my contractions help move her forward a bit. But we finally got her out and it was well worth all the work and the wait. She is super sweet with TONS of hair! She has been breastfeeding like a champ already and so far she has not been fussy at all....but I know that will soon change!!

She weighed 7lbs 13oz and was 19.5" long. They took her for a bath a couple hours ago and brought her back with a super cute red and white striped hat and little white socks with little candy cane appliques...too cute!! I am still a bit numb from the epidural, and I am not sure I am looking forward to it all wearing off!!!

Awe she is sooo cute. I am glad to hear that your labor was not too bad and fairly quick at points. Take care and remember to rest when you can..Congrats
