Any day now..........

Well, here I am, still pregnant :( I am almost a week overdue and Kaelyn still seems to be very content!!!! We went to the Dr on Monday and they hooked me up to a monitor. It showed Kaelyn's heart rate and also the contactions that I was having. They wanted to make sure that she is still okay in there and that there wasn't anything wrong. She passed with flying colors and the Dr said he would be okay with having her stay in there until Saturday. We decided to see if there was any openings to get me in to be induced this week. Unfortunately we didn't have any luck and the only day available was Saturday. So I am officailly scheduled to be induced this Saturday 4/26. I called in today to see if I could get in, but they were full. So my Dr said to call back tomorrow morning to try again. So with any luck I may be induced tomorrow, otherwise it looks like it will be Saturday. I have definitely realized that this little lady has a mind of her own, and no one can force her to do anything!!!! I think this is a rude awakening for what is to come. It is amazing how babies have their own personalitly before they are even born! I am so excited to finally meet her and see what she looks like--at least I know there are at the most only 3 days left.....

1 day and counting...

I had another Dr appt on Tuesday and I still have not dilated yet :( But everything is still looking good and we are headed in the right direction! My next appt is set up for Monday 4/21 and the dr said that he thinks I might not make it to that one. So now we just wait.......

Less than a week.....

Well, we are getting closer!!! My parents got into town last weekend and we have had a busy week. We washed all of our newborn and 0-3 month clothes, we washed blankets, sheets, and towels. We got the pack 'n play set up in our room for when she comes home. We packed our bag for the hospital last night. We got our car seat put in the car today. So I think we are officially all ready for her to finally be here. I have been having contractions all afternoon and evening, but they aren't very consistant. At my last Dr appt she said I am only dilated about 1/2 a centimeter. But she said Kaelyn has dropped down more. So we are headed in the right direction. Now we just wait.......which I hate!!!!!
Last weekend my friend Kim took maternity pictures and they turned out awesome!!!! She did a fabulous job! (To see her stuff go to www.krussellphotography.photoreflect.com) Here are some of the pics she took of us.
