Our Baby Girl is coming!

Baby Girl Wright is on the way!!!! I had an appointment this morning. I am dilated to a 4 and very thin. My blood pressure is a little bit high. The Dr. thinks I will probably go into labor within a few days anyway, so just to be safe, he wants to get things started so we don't have to worry about preclamsia (high blood pressure). He's also a little worried about her size. We're going to the hospital today around 1:00. We'll get things started & see what happens from there. I'll keep you all posted. We may have our little baby girl by tonight! Please keep us in your prayers!

No baby News yet

38 weeks & counting. I'm 38 weeks today. I guess I'm gonna get to experience what it feels like to carry a baby a full pregnancy. No sign of Baby Girl Wright. We are so anxious to meet her, and she seems very content to just hang out. I still have not had any more contractions. I go back to the Dr. on Thursday, so I'll keep you posted!

We went to the park on Sunday & met some friends after church. It was so nice to see everyone. Davis had a good time playing football & playing on the playground.

Latest Dr. Visit!

I went to the Dr. today. They did a sonogram to see how big our little girl is. She is big for 37 weeks, but not "abnormally big". That makes me feel better.
Also, I am not dilated any more than last week. Still 3 cm. He did a stress test on the baby, because her movements have decreases a little, but that turned out looking good too! We may repeat it again on Friday.
So, I'm thinking, that she's going to stay in for a little while longer. I don't feel like anything is going on & I haven't had anymore contractions since I stopped the medicine. I think we've got a few more weeks. We were so worried that we wouldn't get past 36 weeks, and now we may go all the way to 40 weeks. :) We are so ready to meet her, & we hope she comes soon. I'll keep you posted!

37 Weeks!

Today I'm 37 weeks prego! That was the goal, so we've made it!!!! I am no longer taking the medication to stop labor. I stopped it yesterday, and so far no signs of labor at all. She may have decided that she's cozy & doesn't want to come out. I may be in for the long haul. Yesterday I felt horrible & I thought I might be getting close to the end, but today I feel pretty good again! Only God knows when she's coming, so we'll just wait patiently. I sure would like to meet her soon though! I go to the Dr. tomorrow, so I'll let you know the latest then!

Here's a silly picture of Davis that I just had to post. He's ready to meet his little sister too!

Latest Baby Girl Update! 10/2/08

I'm 36 weeks & 2 days! That is an accomplishment! Davis was born at 36 weeks 2 days exactly, so we have at least made it past that important date. I had an appointment this morning and I'm dilated 3 cm. Steady progress, but the medicine is working, and he wants me to keep taking it until 37 weeks. It's funny that I didn't think I was having contractions, but since I have started these meds, that mysterious pain is gone for the most part. So, once again, I obviously don't know what I'm looking for. Just like when Davis was born! Just a few more days of this medication & then we will just let nature take it's course. He said it could be any time. He's hoping we can get to next week though. Next Wed, I have a sonogram scheduled to measure & give us an idea of how big she will be. We are getting so excited to meet our little girl. We are getting the nursery done little by little. We only have a few finishing touches to add. Once we have a name, I'll add that above her crib. Here are some pictures. Keep praying for our little girl! Thanks for all your prayers already!

Baby Girl Update!

Today I'm 35 weeks & 2 days. I went to the Dr. this morning. It looks like things are starting to happen! Very exciting, but still a little too early. I'm dilated 2 cm & my cervix is thinning. I have what you would call a "weak cervix". He doesn't want this little girl coming this early. Because my cervix is weak, he has put me on a medication to stop contractions. As far as I know I haven't had any contractions yet, but judging from my track record, I may not even know if I have or not. I have definitely had pain, but I can't pinpoint it as being a "contraction". He doesn't want contractions to break my water. So I will take the meds for 2 weeks to try and slow the process down a little. He really wants me to get to 37 weeks. I'll update you again after next weeks appointment, or before if she decided to come sooner. Please keep her & I in your prayers. We want a precious healthy baby girl!

I'm an Engineer!

On Saturday, Davis got to wear his new pair of overalls. Actually, they are a very very old pair of overalls. These have been in David's family for about 35 years. All the boy's in David's family have worn them & then passed them down to the next. David wore them when he was about 2 years old (1979). We have counted and Davis will be the 10th little boy in the family to wear them. They are very worn & rusted at the straps, but that just gives them character! Davis got to go on a special trip in his new "old" overalls. We went to McDonald's for his 1st happy meal. I think he enjoyed it, but It think his Daddy enjoyed it more. So, we will have these special overalls in our family, until a new Wright comes along. Then they will be passed down, for that little boy to enjoy!

Baby Girl Update!

I went to the Dr. yesterday. I was 33 weeks 2 days. He did the same test that he's done the last 3 times. I got a call today and the swab test came back neg for preterm labor. The other test showed that things are still looking pretty good also. I am dilated a little more, but not thinned out much more than last time! He said to "Keep this little girl in", so that's what I intend to do! He will do the same tests in another 2 weeks (35 weeks) and then the testing will stop. At that point, I'll be one week away from when I delivered with Davis. He said he doesn't want her to come any sooner than that. Keep her in your prayers & I'll keep you posted!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday to the best Dad ever!!!

Labor Day Weekend

I'm posting this a little late, but here are a few picture of our Labor Day weekend. We had a great time. Davis did a little swimming & a little golfing! We also worked on some projects for the baby's room. The picture is of the cornice board & drapes we made to match her bedding. It was a family affair. My dad, mom, David & Davis all pitched in to help! Just one step closer to getting our little girl's room finished!
