No Baby Yet

Well we are now as much as 2 weeks away from having a baby. The doctor said he would schedule Jessica's induction today if she hadn't had by now, but it was not to be. He said she isn't ready. So pray for nature labor! No really, get down on your knees. You owe me this one! :)

Our future Little People Big World Appearance

So, the latest is that I have Toxemia. Seven out of one hundred women get it, so why not me right? I now have to go in every other day for fetal testing and an ultrasound to make sure the baby isn't under any stress. My first was today and so we will see how it all turns out. I met with my doctor and he said that the baby is about 5 lbs. which is really small still but that she is developed like she should be for 38 1/2 weeks, just tiny. He is going to monitor her closely, but will quite possibly want to induce me before my due date which is less than two weeks away now. That means I really could have a baby any day now. Since we are not even close to having the baby's room together, things are starting to get stressful over here. I just barely stopped working and have been getting things ready but it seems to be taking forever. The doctor says that there is no risk to the baby at this point, so we will just be patiently waiting for him to say it is time. She is going to be a very small little thing...could be about 6 lbs. or so, should make for an easier delivery he says. Brady is hoping we can make an appearance on Little People Big World maybe. =)

My doctor ordered an ultrasound this week to see the size of the baby. He doesn't want to take her too early, but is also worried about taking her too late. So, we had an ultrasound. We will find out the results on Wednesday. It was cool to see her this big because we got to see some of her features. She already has HUGE cheeks and what seem to be my lips. She has a tiny nose so that probably came from Brady or could be my sister...Guess we will see for sure when she arrives! Hope you all can make sense of these pictures, the first one is of her face with the cheeks being squished. Apparently she is facing back and really low so it was hard to get a good picture. The second one is of her profile. She had her hands in her mouth the whole time, so we couldn't get a good profile picture. The third is supposed to show you that she really is a girl....more power to you if you can figure it out. The technician showed me, but I already forgot. =) Enjoy the pictures!!
