Welcome Bella Patrice!!!!

Bella joined us Wednesday December 19th at 3:34 p.m. She was 6 pounds 2 ounces and 19 inches long. She is the most Beautiful baby we have ever seen! We are totally and completely in love with her. She has long beautiful fingers and toes and the most beautiful skin! She is a complete joy. We've only had her for 4 days now but we can't imagine life without her!

39 Weeks- still no baby!

I know how everyone looks forward to seeing my belly pics in my bikini....so here ya go! Just gotta give the people what they want!!

38 weeks

I just got back from a Dr appointment. I am 2 centimeters dilated and 80% effaced. He stripped my membranes today, so hopefully that will help speed things along since I am already pretty favorable. That's what the Doc tells me. I didn't gain any weight this week. Thank goodness! I still measure very small. Still measuring at 34 centimeters when I should be measuring a good 38. I told him her movement has been a little less than normal these past few days so he had us go to the Hospital and do a stress test. The test showed no problems. So I'll just be waiting it out. The Dr. said he doesn't think it will be much longer now. But if I haven't gone into labor on my own by my next appointment which is Monday and I am still measuring small then he will have me do another ultrasound. If the ultrasound shows that the baby hasn't grown then they will induce me right away. Let's hope I have her before then but if not then I can at least plan on Monday or Tuesday. YAY!!! Cause if I'm this small there is no way she is growing. But all the tests we have done show she is just fine, just a little small. So I say let her out then!!

She's just a tiny girl...

So had my ultrasound today. I had plenty of fluid in there and everything looked good. Bella is just small. She is measuring as big as a 35 week fetus when I am 37 weeks. They say she looks to weigh about 5 pounds 9 ounces. So small for this far along! The Radiologist said he thinks she is fine just a very small baby. So I'm OK with that as long as everything else is looking good. She is developing fine and has a strong heart beat and moves like crazy! I just have to wait it out these next couple of weeks. That's all I have is 2 and a 1/2 weeks. YAY!!! I should hear from my Dr. with final results by Thursday. I may have to do another ultrasound next week just so they can keep an eye on her growth. My Dr. told me with the way I am dilating and thinning he doesn't see me going past my due date. I hope that is still the case with this new info we received today. More to come....

Dr. Update

So I went to the Dr. today for my 37 week checkup. I am 1 and a half centimeters dilated. I am 70% to 80% effaced. So I'm well on my way. But my belly only measured at 34 and I am 37 weeks. So the Dr. scheduled me for an ultrasound tomorrow. He just wants to be sure that I am not loosing any fluid and that the baby is still growing properly. So lets hope that everything is alright with little Bella. I'm sure everything is fine. I think she is just ready to come out!! I'll keep ya posted.
