IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!

About You
Name?: Kristen
Age?: 29
Height?: 5'7"
Pre-pregnancy weight?: 170- I had just lost 29 lbs and was planning on losing 10-15 more, but baby put a temporary halt to that.

About The Father
Name?: Tom
Age?: 36 (37 by the time baby is born)
Height?: 6'2"
Are you still together?: Most definitely

About Your Pregnancy
Is this your first pregnancy?: Yes
When did you find out you were pregnant?: August 25, a couple weeks before our 1 yr anniv and days before leaving for our anniversary trip to Alaska (which as you can imagine meant I didn't have the BEST time in the world)
Was it planned?: Not planned, not protected by any sure methods

What was your first reaction?: Shock, and utter excitement
Who was with you when you found out?: Just me. I waited until hubby ran errands to test because I didn't want him to know I was testing. I thought he'd be disappointed if I wasn't, and I really didn't think I was.
Who was the first person you told?: Tom
How did your parents react?: Not the greatest reactions- not because they weren't happy, but just because of surrouding circumstances. My dad's mom was dying at the same time, I had just joined in his business with him so he was concerned about that, and they weren't expecting it to boot because I had told everyone we were waiting another year. My MIL was excited, but doesn't show much outward excitement. She also already has 9 grandkids all the way up to the age of 31, so she's been a grandma for a long time already.

How far along are you?: 20 weeks, 5 days

What was your first symptom?: dizziness, which is why I took the test because I couldn't shake it.
What is your due date?: May 3,2008
Do you know the sex of the baby?: Yep
If so, what is it?: GIRL GIRL GIRL, which is what I suspected from day 1
Have you picked out names?: Yep
If so, what are they?: we have 2 in mind, but are not sharing them. We'll make our final decision when we see what she looks like, and then we'll share the name.
How much weight have you gained?: 6 lbs

Have you felt the baby move?: Yes, I love it!
Have you heard the heartbeat?: Several times

About the birth
Will you keep the baby?: I most certainly will.
Home or hospital birth?: Hospital, an hour from my house which makes me nervous!
Natural or medicated birth?: I'm going to try my darndest to have a natural birth
Who will be in the delivery room with you?: Tom
Will you breastfeed?: Yes, unless there are circumstances that don't allow for it.
Do you think you'll need a c-section?: I'm hoping not.
Will you cry when you hold the baby for the first time?: YES.
What's the first thing you might say to him/her?: Don't know- maybe something along the lines of, "I finally get to hold you", or "You're beautiful."
Would you let someone videotape the birth?: pictures are fine, not keen on video
Are you excited about the birth, or scared?: EXCITED!

I can't even imagine! I am so excited and so happy for you! Can't wait for you to post a pic of her:)


jenlove - Sunday, 11 May
Congrats! I'm glad you went natural and held out! How are you? Happy Mother's Day!


jenlove - Thursday, 8 May
Hey Girl just checking on you... -5 days... how are you holding up? hope you're doing well, I'm thinking about you:)


cristty - Wednesday, 7 May
went to the doctor today and had an ultrasound... My baby is 7,9 pounds. If he was over 8 pounds he was going to induce me this coming Thursday but he is waiting one more week cause there is no medical reason to induce me just yet... so I have an appointment right on my due date the 12th of may and then they are scheduling to induce me in the next couple days..(if I don't have the baby until that date but doesn't look like I will) cervix is soft but way high and baby has not dropped at all! How are you?? any progress?


MJamison - Tuesday, 6 May
Hey! I saw your comment on someone elses page about your friend being induced with Cervidil and I was just wondering if you know how she liked it? I am hearing very mixed reviews on the stuff and I am being induced at 42 weeks with it next week!
Also something really cool coming to your page! I noticed you are from Rockville! I grew up in Germantown and went to Seneca Valley! I live in SC now though! Thought that was kinda cool!
Good Luck!


Tiffers28 - Tuesday, 6 May
Hey thanks for letting me vent and the response, I'm gonna have a heart to heart with the DH! Hopefully since I've already started contracting today and I lost my mucus plug this morning, they will leave the kids at home with family and not miss school! Here's praying! lol We'll see! Good luck to you and your angel!!!


jenlove - Tuesday, 6 May
I think you are right! That's what I've heard. Be careful, stay close to home just in case (of what, i don't know) :) I really am clueless!


jenlove - Tuesday, 6 May
Oh I hope so! Do you think it is contractions? I really have no idea what it is going to feel like, and no one can say for sure which is confusing. Please keep us posted! Fingers crossed! Could be the day:)!


jenlove - Tuesday, 6 May
Any news?


MilMom2Be - Tuesday, 6 May
Thank you for being so encouraging, I just woke up, took off from work today so I would be rested and ready to talk to my doctor at the appt later... Also just don't feel like getting up to go to work any more... 41 wks now! So a good start to today and hopefully she can induce me this week as I would like my little one b4 mothers day as well!


MilMom2Be - Monday, 5 May
My problem is more that I have not effaced or dilated at all, and I am afraid her head is too big to engage now.. Lol, the perils of a 4'11" woman marrying a 6'1"man, he gave me a big girl, over eight pounds already by the doctors guestimate!


jenlove - Monday, 5 May
Well? How are you? Any news?

Keep us posted! :)


cristty - Monday, 5 May
I feel the same way!! :)


MilMom2Be - Sunday, 4 May
I have an appt on Tues, my 41 wk mark, and that is when my doctor will give me an induction date, I am hoping she says, "How about tomorrow?" Lol, but I am guessing by next weekend I will have my little gorl. How about you? Any looming dates?


cristty - Sunday, 4 May
My due date is next tuesday... but I might get induced this coming thursday also!!! I will know more when I have my ultrasound on tuesday... aparently my baby is getting to big!! Hopefully he will decide to induce me... I'm in so much pain!!! How are you feeling?


cristty - Saturday, 3 May
Had my appt yesteterday!! The EPO didnt work!!! The doctor said the baby didn't drop... cervix is closed.... I'm having a u/s next Tuesday to see the weight of the baby.... I'm measuring very big for 38 weeks... and he was concerned that the baby is to big that's why I'm having this pains... I did gained 4 pounds since last week and my belly measured much more so he was afraid my body wouldn't be able to handle a normal deliver with a 9 pound baby if I wait until after the 12th of may... he will do the u/s plus he will start putting the gel to open my cervix... witch by the way is very high and he couldn't feel the head of the baby... he is not sure what position the baby is in also... that's why the u/s... if the baby is not head down anymore I might even have to have a c section and it needs to be schedule very soon... if the baby is just to big but in the right position he might induce me next Thursday...nothing is certain yet... he needs the u/s to be sure of all this... so I'm excited!! I might be able to hold my little peanut next week!!!!


jenlove - Thursday, 1 May
I live just outside of Fort Lauderdale, but work in Fort Lauderdale. Yeah, things are tough down here. Our next door neighbors lost their home to foreclosure. It is so sad. Wow, 2 days left to go! I'm so excited for you! Keep me posted:)


tracysluv - Wednesday, 30 April
Why were you given the choice to induce? I"m due May 8 th as well!! Good Luck!


jenlove - Wednesday, 30 April
If you look on my page there is a picture of the very first little outfit I bought the baby, before I even knew boy or girl. Its the 4th pic. I also bought him a purple Ravens jacket and sweats for his first winter trip up there. And all three of us have Todd Heap jerseys:) I cannot wait to bring him up there to meet the family. I love Md! We would live there if we could. My husband's family are Redskins fans, too. So we're alone also. We support the Redskins second. Its a new era of coaches for both... should be interesting.

How did your appt go? I go tomorrow. So excited! :)


cristty - Wednesday, 30 April
I switched mine when I got Prego... my actual doctor don't deliver anymore so I went to another doctor closer to home... he was in Silver Spring and the other doctors on his practice deliver at Holly Cross. My best friend is also Prego so we have the same doctor... same due date and same hospital! Which by the way is very nice... they just built the new maternity aisle! There are six doctors there and I know all of them already... like them all! Thanks for the compliments... I use t model when i was younger and the person that made my previous portfolios took the pics for me... he is good... although he does not work in the field anymore. I was not dilated until 2 weeks ago, I started applying the EPO, and taking the pills a week ago... hopefully I will have some progress! My due date is May 12th hopefully he will make an appearance soon! I have a mix of emotions right now... excitement, fear... and my whole body aches... I cannot wait to be over and hold baby Mikey in my arms!


xx-first-timer-xx - Wednesday, 30 April
yes sum1 did msg me earlier but thanks anyway xxx


jenlove - Wednesday, 30 April
Hi! I noticed from Cristty's page you are from Md. My husband is from there, we were married in Calvert county. His family lives around Anapolis and B-More. Are you a Ravens' fan? I just bought our little guy the cutest jersey onesie so he's all set! How are you? My sister in law said it was raining in B-more. I can't wait until my little one is old enough to fly so he can come up there and meet the family! Hope you're doing well! You are so very close!
