jack henry was born sept 24th at 1136 7lbs 6oz 20in....everyone is doing great....more to come like pics...

|

We went to the Dr. and things are ok....The baby has shifted a bit, and not to worried since some strong contractions should correct it...the more pressing issue is that there is very little fluid left around the baby. This is ok at this late stage but still a concern....so that means we will be induced tonight! we head to the hospital at 5PM.

Watch here for updates....I maybe able to update via my phone but we will see....

|

Thus far our ploy to get a ton of free shit and money has gone as planned...the only problem now...people are going to be expecting a baby in the next few days....this plan is going astray....we may be in too deep. Maybe tomorrow the Dr. can help us with the rest of the plan...Plan B.9.24

|

Well we are one day over the due date....not much else to report...we have a Dr. appointment set for Wed where we will be making a plan if the baby doesn't come by then...So I guess more news by Wed.

|

Well today is D-Day...that's right today is the due date...maybe this baby is just tyring to be punctual like me....or maybe late like TheWife...we will see...I don't really think today is the day to be honest...her contractions have kinda stopped.

We have tried everything we could think of to naturally induce, and somethings that were just down right silly.

PS. its good to know I am not talking to myself, thanks for the comments.

|

Well no real update...the due date is tomorrow and its not looking to me like we will have a new baby by then...

I also want to know if anyone is even reading this....I know my mom and her dad are but anyone else? Please leave comments!

Early Labor, more like "Premature get your hopes up your unlikely to go into labor labor". Even though she is having contractions they are still pretty weak and though they are becoming more frequent they are still not close enough. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week....Early Labor can last awhile...but hopefully not too much longer...

|

Well we had yet another Dr. Appointment and everything was going fine till we found out that TheWifes' blood pressure was a bit high...they checked it a second time, then made us wait 10 min and they checked it again(still high) We then waited another 10 min to find out it was sill high, so the Dr. wanted us to go to the hospital for her to be monitored for a little while. After an hour or so we meet with the midwife, who said the baby looks great and we can go home if we want to.

So the run down:

She is in whats commonly called early labor, could last hours could last days.

She is 3-4 cm dilated

She is about 90% effaced

She is having contractions but none of them are intense enough to even consider

She is going to have a baby soon

So everyone at the hospital was super nice and made us both very comfortable, there is definitely no worries about going back. She is resting now and we are doing what we can to intensify these contractions to get this baby out by Friday.

|

So we had our last baby class tonight, it was ok...learned how to change a diper and wrap the baby up...THE BIG NEWS is that one of the girls in our class had her baby at 6:17am today. She was due just a few days after us, its very frustrating...but we are very happy for them. Our time will come soon enough.

|

Well another day and still no baby...I listen to the heart beat nightly now just to make sure its still strong...and it is...still up around 155-160. OH and TheWife is doing everything she can to get it to come out...

|

Well I really thought today would be the day...but its not...so we wait for another. We went on a walk around the block, that was fun...but its too hot to walk too much. None the less we are off to walk the dog in the Windy city of Cleveland....till tomorrow.

|

ALL OF YOU! I have been informed that I should really start to blog....daily. No real update, still waiting....there was a small contration last night but nothing of it. SO I will see you tomorrow, I plan to have a "It's a..." blog within 12 hours of birth, and pics within 24.

Well we had another visit to the Dr. Today...and the time is coming...soon I think! TheWife is 3cm Dilated (that’s up 1.5cm from last week) and the baby is at zero stage (that’s down about 2 from last week)...WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN! Well that means that the baby is completely down and locked in the pelvis. The Dr. said all we need now is some contractions! I am really hoping for this baby to come by this weekend....my birthday is tomorrow and would love to have family in town for it, as well as celebrate the birth of this baby!

In other news the boy/girl poll is closed, and it was very close, of 21 total votes 10 think girl, and 11 think boy... (I think someone or someone’s had found a way to vote more than once....) At any rate the heart beat was higher today and I am swinging on that fence again....the girl votes could be right....

So keep it locked right here for all the latest….we are 38.5 weeks in and it is looking like we may not go the 40! If time permits….you may see a short “On our way” blog real soon!

So we had our second Weekly Dr. visist today and everything is looking good...baby is dropping(currently locked in place, but needs to drop a bit more) Dialation is coming along from 1cm last week to 1.5cm this week, not much but it is progress.

The Wife is done working and is hopefully resting at home. Meanwhile I am here at work trying to keep my mind off the call that could be coming...(I think we got a week or so to go, but offcially there are 18 days left)

So Parents are locked into the speed dial, Sister-in-law's are waiting by the phone(or facebook), and baby is waiting for just the right moment to face the world.

On an unreated note...closeing for the house in MI is set for Friday!
