She's Here

For those of you who may not have received an email from me here are the details of the baby. Kailyn Danielle Wilson made her arrival at 8:02 pm on Thursday March 12th. She weighed 6lbs5.3 oz and is 18.3 in long. She is my tiny peanut after having an 8 lb + brother and sister. I will post my birth story after i catch up on some rest.

Appointment, another TMI Post

I went yesterday to see my midwife and we are making more progress. I am dialated to 3 cm and 60-65% effaced. I have also been having bloody show since the appt. that easily could be from the exam or it could mean we are on our way. Her educated guess is i will go this week sometime. Today I since i got up from my nap my contractions have been stronger almost making me stop walking through them. But no consistency in time yet, so we will see what God has in store. Please pray for me to be surrendered to God's time and also to have completely drug free delivery. Thanks in advance.

Realization

I have come to one, as I must at many points in my life. I was having some surrender issues with having this baby. I picked up a book that I really like, The Victory of Surrender" by Gordon Fergeson (SP?). Its a great book on being surrendered to God and his plans. So the other night while I had a nice soak in a hot bath I read one of my favorite chapters. It was just what I needed. When i start giving into my emotions of excitetment and wanting to control things i get unsurrendered. Not that being excited about a new baby is bad, but when thats all you think, talk, and daydream about then it becomes a problem. So I am trying to recognize when i am just being an excited mom and when it's getting a little over the top.

as far as baby and mom go , we are doing well. I am waddling big time now, she is definatly engaged in the pelvis. We see the midwife today and will find out if we have progressed any. I have actually felt a lot better since last Wed. not sure why but i am so we will just claim it and roll on.

Ashlyn is just bubbling with excitement over when baby will come. I think i gave her too much infomation today. she asked why she couldnt come to my appt with me and i told her cause i needed privacy with the midwife. I expalined how she would check my cervix to see how dialated I am. I probably shouldnt have, now that i look back. Ooops, too late now. Hopefully she will just forget, fingers crossed.

I will keep you all posted...

Anticipation

It is really hard to not want to rush things along. I want baby to stay in as long as she needs to so she can breathe and eat and be healthy. On that note if she is ready to do all those things I am all for her coming 2 weeks early. We had another appt. with the midwife Monday and i dialated another cm so we are at 2 now, still 50% effaced and at station 3. but she said my cervix is super soft. I think last night she worked her way down into my pelvis a little more, i felt a weird pop/click and have felt a little weird since then. I feel really stretched in my belly today and I am really tired and need to stay off my feet. so with this new stuff its hard to not hope that the end may be near. I've been praying lots, trying to keep my mind right.

On another note, we have great new neighbors that we have been playing with a lot. THe little girl is 4 and all thekids enjoy each other. It's really hard to not spend the whole day playing, I am trying to be disciplined but i love to hang out and chat too. Well I honestly cant think of another thing to report so i guess i will keep things short.
