Woo hoo! Can not wait to see this little baby. I am 23 years old and I have a little boy who just turned 2. I am a nervous wreck about this pregnancy. Alot more than the first time! On one of my trips to the dr they could not find a heart beat and then they did a belly ultrasound and could not see it or hear it. When they did the transvaginal is when we saw it, the baby was hiding. My dr. had pretty much told me that something really bad had happend before we finally saw the heartbeat. It is really hard to get over something like that. But the next visit was great we heard the heart beat loud and clear.

I can notwait to find out if the baby is a boy or girl. We go on march 31. oh momma!!

It is a girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can not wait to meet my little cate!!

okay well her name is Ellie Kathryn now!!

we went to the hospital last on the 5th with strong contractions only to be sent home, then we came back the next day and i had her on the 6th at 10:47. she was 7lbs and 19.5" long. she has pretty long dark hair. with my son i had a c-section so i was trying and was succesful in a vbac. let me tell you that was very painful. i had an epidural and it did not work on the right side and starting not working on the left side. at 10:00 i had been 7cm dialted for 3 hours and they were thinking c-section again, when boom about 10:35 they told me it was time to start pushing. I was scared to death and in alot of pain, well all i know is that she came flying out, i only pushed a few good times and she was out, to me pushing was the easiest part. it actually felt good to push. they did not have time to cut me so i ripped a bit, i got 4 stiches so it wasnt horrible. the scariest part is that she was born so fast that all the fluid and gunk didnt get pushed out of her lungs and she couldnt breathe very good when she came out. her apgar was only 3, but the pediatric team was great and in 5 min she was up to an 8. we are at home now, and i feel fabulous. the only real pain afterword has been uterus pain where its shinking back up, everytime i would feed her it hurt so bad on my right side, all the way down my leg and up my back just on the right side. the left side cramped too just not like the right side so i dunno about that. it is a true challenge to have a 2.5 year old and a new born, he is doing so good, he is just very sleepy from waking up with the baby and me in the night.
