First Week


Wow, has it really already been a week. All the days are running together. This week have been very tough, yet awesome at the same time. Reed and I, along with a ton of help from my MOM got through it with many laughs and a few cry's. Reed and I are tired, however we love Mia along with being parents. We are in awe of her and her personalty. She is such a sweet baby and really only cry's to let us know something is wrong. She has her second doctors appointment on Monday. We are trying to get her birth weight up. I love having a baby in the spring and am enjoying every minute of being a Mom. More to come this week...

Our Baby Mia... The story






Hello Friends and Family,
First of all I want to say Thank you, Thank you to all my family. I have never loved you more or felt more support from you all. WOW. The last week of my pregnancy my blood pressure was high,and they wanted to induce me. Saturday morning came and Mia still did not come so we went to the hospital for induction. There are many many details to this story, however the short version is that I was in hard intense labor for many many hours and got right to the end of the labor and Mia turned position. They tried to vacuum her out twice and she was stuck, not coming! I then had to do a C-Section right away. I had a very successful C-section that finally brought our baby girl into the world safely and healthy. We are just taking it day by day. We are so in love with our little girl and each other. This was all unexpected and different then what we planned. However, we have grown so close through it and are excited about our family. Our family is so awesome they were there with us through the whole entire thing. I feel so loved and am so thankful that every one came here and supported us through this!!! I will update more later....

Pregnancy News



Hello All,
This is my final pregnancy pic, which is after a long walk.....
I am so excited about our baby girl. As of right now Mia is still not here. However, I have had a great week and have been enjoying myself. I went to the doctor on Wednesday and I am still 3cm and a little over 80%effaced. Due to that and some other things I am scheduled at the hospital on Saturday!! Yeah Mia, we are so happy to meet you. It is so cool, because if she waits to come until Saturday, her birthday will be on the first day of Spring. It is going to be 70 here and sunny. I think it would be really neat to have here then. Spring is such a wonderful season, which signifies new life and new beginnings. Reed and I cant wait to start a family and be in this next season of our lives. Once again I am so thankful for everyone's support and love. To my family, You are so awesome and I cant wait to see all of you this weekend to welcome our Mia to the world!!! LOVE YOU...

Update


Well,
I went to the doctor on Wednesday and I am 3cm dilated and 80% effaced!! However, as many of you know that could mean so many things. I could go at any time or it could be a week from now! However, lets hope it is only days from now and not another week! I am staying busy and trying to enjoy my time with Reed. I am also napping when I want, reading when I want and just enjoying these days that I have all to myself....I cant wait until she comes... Mia Come Soon...

I am 2 CM


Hello Everyone!!!
I went to the doctors last Wednesday and they told me that I was 2cm. They said you should expect this to happen quickly, because of her angle and head placement. However, our due date is not until the 16th of March which is next Tuesday! I was really convinced that is was going to happen this weekend! However, it did not. My mom even came into town just in case. We had a great weekend spending some quality time together and laughing a lot. People, everywhere always ask, when are you due, and I say today, in hopes it will happen. However, I understand she will come when God and her are ready. When I went to the doctor they told me that I was carrying a lot of fluid which will make me feel bigger and swell. It is good for the baby, and the good news is that she said afterwords I would loose weight quickly. So right now I am reading, enjoying the weather and putting my Pillsbury feet up in the air as much as possible. Reed is really excited to, however he is working a lot to get hours off when the baby comes. It is so neat to be here in our lives and we can not wait to meet our daughter!!!
