just wondering how you were doing....

or if anyone has heard from her.....

[~Stephanie~]

 

I'm here. Doing pretty well. Thanks for thinking of me and asking!

I went to the Dr today and I am dialated to almost 3 cm.

Been busy getting last minute things ready for the baby. I have a final exam tomorrow (tuesday) morning then I'm done with school until Jan 14. I've got 2 classes in the spring then I will be DONE with college FOR GOOD!

But yep, doing well. Staying healthy. No complications.

Just been super busy working full time, going to school full time, and being pregnant (I'm nuts I know. lol but I made it through the semester!)

How's your little guy doing?

[okieoliveoyl]

Little man's doing great... finally starting to TRY to walk..lol. 

Sounds like you may go early.  already at a 3 and you've got a month left..   it's gettin close.  Seems like yesterday you found out you were expecting. 

Keep us posted.... i'm excited for you!

Stephanie: I've been wondering about you too. I'm glad things are going well!!

[~Stephanie~]

Thanks. Physically I'm doing pretty well. I have 2 1/2 weeks to go until my due date. I am dilated to 3.5 cm, soft, and just starting to thin out. Baby has dropped and is in the right position, so things are looking good! I had an US done yesterday morning and his measurements all look right on target. He is measuring 4 days ahead of his due date.

Emotionally, well that's another story. There's a girl at my church due the day before me. SHe is married of course, so she gets lots of support and all the ladies in the church and young women my age had a baby shower for her. (i wasn't invited nor do I get anywhere near that much support because I'm the bad kid who is not married and pregnant *sigh*)

Hang in there Steph    Sounds like things are moving right along.  Don't get discouraged by what has happened in the past.  Look for the future with that little boy!  I am sure he is gonna be so adorable.  Can't wait to see some pictures!

any news??  I see you only have 2 days left....    how exciting...

[MelodyB]

I think they are supposed to induce her on Monday.

[~Stephanie~]

Yep...I"m still preggo.

Had my membranes stripped this past monday (new years eve). I was 4 cm dilated and 50% effaced when they did it. I've had off and on contractions the past 2 or 3 days. Some really sharp. Horrible lower back pain. The baby is down right there. If I could get a good pattern of contractions going, then I'd be all set.

I do have an appt this Monday Jan 7th (the day after my due date). We'll make plans then for inducing me one day next week. I am still praying HARD to go on my own. I don't want pitocin!!

[RainbowJingles]

In Jesus' Name!

Hope it goes smoothly, girl!

Stephanie had her baby! At 4:15 pm Jan 5th. He was 8 lbs 4 oz. And 21 1/2 inches long. She hadn't named him yet. I'll let her share the rest.

[MelodyB]

OOPS! I knew that, and I didnt post it. Bad me.
