Baby Update

Still no baby. We are busily preparing the house for her arrival. We get more and more done every day that she is NOT here. We keep telling her about her new home and her new pretty nursery, but apparently the womb is WAY more fun for her at this point.

Please keep the prayers coming and we'll all get to meet her soon!

Baby Update

We went to our Doctor appointment today hoping for good news. We got some too! I am 3cm dilated and 75% effaced. The doctor did a little stripping of the membranes which thins out the lining between the uterus and the baby's head (which is now thankfully LOCKED in place). The procedure she did will induce contractions and if Reese is ready, she'll be coming out very soon. If not... then I will just have some additional pains to deal with.

They talked about inducing but John and I decided we are not ready to make that choice yet. We want her to come as naturally as possible without any medication to help us out. They will discuss the possibility more with us next Thursday if we make it that far. As long as Reese and I are healthy they will be okay not to force the induction.

John and I are super excited and anxious to meet this little girl. My friend Joan had her baby yesterday and she is so sweet and cuddly. I got to hold her this afternoon and cannot imagine how it is going to feel when it is MY baby I am loving on.

Please continue to pray for us to have a safe and healthy delivery.

Here are finally some pictures of our nursery. Reese is still waiting to make her entrance. Two days until she is due!!

SOON THIS WILL BE HER HOME.


Reese's Closet.



We will keep everyone posted on labor and delivery here and on facebook.

Thanks for everyone's kind words, blessings, prayers, and support. We would not be able to do this without such wonderful family and friends.

Make it a great day!
