SHE'S HERE!!

Emma Loraine Reems arrived on December 10th @ 1:53pm. She weighed 7lbs 6oz & is 20" long. She looks just like her proud daddy. She also has his piano playing fingers & her mommy's dimples. She came after several hours of hard labor. I went from 3cm to 10cm in 1-1/2 hours. I then pushed for 3 hours with an hour break in the middle. After pushing & finding out that her head was turned sideways & wedged in my pelvis, they decided they had to do a c-section. We are so glad that she is finally here for us to enjoy. She is just beautiful! 

Thank you for all your prayers for us & Emma.

Baby Emma's Update

Well, after being at the hospital for 12 hours, which included 2 ultrasounds, several laps around the hospital halls, several "checks", back labor and very little sleep, we are back home. Emma just isn't ready to be born yet. We're hoping to be back in the next 24 - 48 hours, to stay and have a baby this time :) Just thought I'd give you all an update.

I'm just about done with my Christmas shopping & decorating, so I guess you could say I'M READY!!!

Happy Birthday!

Gary & I had a great trip this weekend in Victoria. The only glitch was I came down with a horrible migraine on Friday night after we got there. It lasted all weekend, though it did start to get better on Saturday. When I went in to my normal Dr's appt this morning she told me to go home & sleep. Then if I still had my headache she wanted me to go into triage at the hospital to make sure I didn't have preeclampsia. They monitored my blood pressure & the baby for about 2 hours & came to the conclusion that it was just a bad migraine that was hanging on. So, I got to spend part of my 33rd birthday in the hospital. Oh well. I'm just glad everything is OK. 

Other then that, the Dr said everything is great.

Oh My Aching Back!!!!!

I had my monthly check-up today & I found out that I passed my glucose test. PTL!!! No gestational diabetes here :) I am slightly anemic though, so I have to start taking an iron supplement every day on top of my daily prenatal vitamin. Other then that, everything looks fine. Except for my back constantly hurting these days. 

I only have 11 more weeks to go. I can't believe it! The time sure has flown. Gary & I are going to Victoria for my birthday. 1 last vacation before the baby comes :)

It's been soooooooooo long! Sorry :(

Let me start out by saying I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted. Life has been crazy... We had another ultrasound today & she is still a girl :) Emma is very active these days. If she isn't punching or kicking me, she has the hiccups. The ultrasound tech said she is 2lbs 4oz, which is what she should be if I was at about 27 weeks & I'm just over 28 weeks. In other words, she is doing fine in the growing department. We are getting more excited every day, yes even Gary :) We have the nursery painted. We just need to get the border up & the furniture put together.
