So I am a little slow

21 Apr

Audrey Michelle was born April 17, 2006 at 5:02 in the morning. She weighed 7lbs 5ozs and was 20.25 inches long, giving her big brothers a run for their money for sure!

Her being born on the 17th was a pretty big surprise for us. We didn’t expect to see her until the 23rd, when I was going to be induced, but she had other plans apparently. She didn’t want her daddy to miss Heroes. :p For being 2 weeks early, she was a mighty big girl. She also had a single umbilical artery which made her size a little more shocking.
So far the adjustment from 3 to 4 kids is going ok. I can’t complain too much, though I wish sleep were more readily available. We’re doing well. I am going to go put her pics up in the gallery now. Hopefully I don’t get distracted before I get it done.

 

She’s never coming out!

05 Apr

I am so miserable! I have been in “early labor” or whatever since at least Monday. I have contractions all day long! Miserable, horrible, painful contractions that lead no where. It’s awful.

I had an OB appointment Monday afternoon and since I know you all want to know what my cervix is up to, I was 2 CM dilated and thinned out, which is good progress and though Dr. M thinks she will be here by next week, I am doubtful. I know I can walk around dilated for weeks and have nothing happen. So whatever bit of hope he gave me Monday is quickly slipping away.

It’s just as well I suppose since I haven’t even begun to pack the hospital bag or the boys’ over night bags. I still have lots of things I would *like* to get done around the house, but won’t. So I suppose I can wait. I just can’t keep having these contractions. They are bringing me close to tears!

ANYWAY…in other family news, the boys got their report cards last week and both did well. They both were on the Honor Roll again. Though Jake did manage to bring a B to a VERY low C, that was slightly disappointing. But he knows he has to buckle down and get to business to bring it back up before the end of the year.

Maddie is doing GREAT in potty learning! He has peeing down to a T! Pooping…not so much. But he will get there.  He’s even having dry nights which is GREAT!

Anyway, there’s not much else to talk about. I did upload some older pictures a couple of weeks ago from Christmas and when went to the Ft Worth Zoo last year. I will try to get the ones from the G-ville zoo (we went a couple of weeks ago) up soon.
