Ellie Grace

Ellie Grace is here! She was born Wednesday, November 14 at 3:33. She weighed 8 lbs. and 15 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. We are extremely blessed and so in love! I'll be back this week with all the details.

Baby Update

Well, it's Monday, November 12 and we still have no baby. When we went to the doctor last Thursday, the ultrasound looked good and Ellie Grace is healthy and apparently happy where she is. She weighed 8 lbs. 7 oz., so not quite enough for Dr. Gordon to want to do a c-section yet. He checked me again and I'm still only 1 cm., so we came back home hoping she would want to come this past weekend, but no luck. We go back tomorrow for another ultrasound and check, and more than likely, I'll stay and go to the hospital. Dr. Gordon comes on call Wednesday morning and will induce, which is not what I wanted at all, but since she's not wanting to come on her own, he wants to give her a little help :).

We can't wait to see this little one, and hope to be back soon with pictures!

D Day

Well, today is our due date and Miss Ellie Grace has decided that she is not ready to make her grand entrance yet! I have had a few random contractions this past week, but nothing other than that really. I went to the doctor Monday, and once again he couldn't even really check me because my cervix is still extremely posterior (sorry for all the personal info!). She has dropped and is in the right position, but for some reason my cervix is not moving to where it needs to be. Dr. Gordon says the only thing he can think of is that there is a good possibility that she is pretty big and there's just not room for my cervix to get around her. So, tomorrow I go back to the doctor and they are going to do an ultrasound to see how big she it right now. If she is bigger than between 8 and 9 pounds, there is a good possibility that he will go ahead and schedule a c-section to prevent a complicated labor that could turn into an emergency c-section. Hopefully, I'll have some good baby news to report back tomorrow!
