The labor and delivery went wonderfully. I ended up waking up Thursday morning with contractions. My water broke and by 2:30 pm I was in the delivery room. All I have to say is epidurals are AMAZING!! Once I got that thing everything was a breeze. She was already down pretty low when I got to the hospital so she came fast and easy. She is a great little eater and sleeps pretty good too, let's hope it continues.

Here are some hospital shots:

Tommy surprised me with some diamond earings!

Pictures from yesterday (5 days old):

Having a baby Friday

So, I had my appointment yesterday afternoon and was happy to hear that I am not totally incapable of going into labor and my body is progressing a little. I am dilated to a 1/2 cm, which is better than nothing. We are going to stick with the original game plan. I am going to the hospital Thursday night and starting the fun process. We should have our little girl Friday, thanks for being willing to share your birthdy mom!

The Nursery

The nursery is now finished!

Tommy was wonderful and painted the wall a pink/purple color, it used to be a brown/bronze. My sister Erin made the amazing quilt and my mom made the diaper holder and wipes case. Tommy's parents were very generous to buy us the adorable dresser. It is all perfect!

It still continues...

I had another doctor's appointment yesterday and did not get good news. There is still no change at all. My doctor doesn't want me going past 42 weeks and thinks I will need to be induced. As of now, I am scheduled for a cervical ripening induction on Friday, July 17th. I am told that there is a 50/50 chance that things will result in a c-section that day. I have another appointment on Tuesday and if there is any change the induction will be called off. Wish me luck!

SCHOOL'S OUT!

My last day of school, for who knows how long, was yesterday! It is a bitter, sweet feeling. Thankfully I had an amazing class to end with. I am looking forward to not having to work but I know there is an even bigger task ahead of me. I cannot wait for the day where I get to be the mom who helps out in the classroom, instead of the teacher.

Also had a doctor's appointment yesterday and no change!
