I had a Dr. appt today. I am now 3 cm. dialated and 80% effaced. Everything else was good!!

I had another appt. today. Everything looks good. I am still 3 cm dialated and now 90% effaced. The Dr. said if I make it to my next appt. then they would run some non-stress tests and try stripping my membranes again. I really do not want to be induced this time. I am praying that she will come on her own.

My princess Amelia is here. I started having contractions at 1:30 a.m. on Feb. 2, 2007. I was not sure if it was the real thing or not so I got up and started timing them they were about 9 min. apart. Then at 4:00 I woke my husband up and told him I thought I was in labor. I called my sister to come over to watch my son at about 6:00. Then my hubby and I went and walked around Wal-Mart. We finally got to the hospital at about 8:00. They checked me and said that I was at a 5. Then the Dr. came and broke my water at 12:00. She came at 2:49 p.m. I pushed for 7 min. And I did it all natural!! It was so awesome. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 1 oz. and 20 in. her head was 13 1/2 in. She is so sweet. She took right to breastfeeding. My recovery has been amazing I feel great a little tired but other than that everything is going perfect. Good luck to all the other expecting moms and God Bless!

Amelia is 8 weeks old today. I can not believe how fast it is going. She is my sweet little princess. She loves to cuddle. She does not sleep very long at night she is up about every 2 to 3 hours that is wearing on me. During the day the only way I can get her to sleep besides holding her is on her belly. I love having a daughter!

Ameila is 3 months old today! I cannot believe how fast it is going. She is smiling and laughing and batting at her toys. She has a double chin and little rolls on her arms and upper legs! She is very healthy looking. She is still not sleeping through the night and that is getting a little rough for me. I know it will come in time.
