It’s a girl!

We are proud to introduce Juliana Christine Percival. Born September 29th 2008 at 12:28pm. She weighes in at 8lbs 6ozs and 19 1/2 inches long.

Well, I cannot believe that time is almost here. Tomorrow we are going into the hospital to meet our bundle of joy. It is going to be so exciting. We will finally find out if it is a boy or a girl. I am getting a little nervous. I  have never been through this before. It will be worth it when everything is said and done.

It has been a long journey. It has been a good ride up until close to the end. Now that I am at the end, it had gotten harder. I ended up getting put on bed rest and then had to be monitored at the hospital for a bit. Things seem like they are going well so far. I will be so happy to be able to hold the little one in my arms.

Well, hopefully Jason will post a bit because I will be in the hospital for a few days and hopefully he can put some updates and possibly pictures on here. I will try to post when I can, but I also know that this will be a hectic time getting used to everything with having the new baby.

I cannot believe we are down to single digits as of today. There are only 9 more days until the baby arrives. I am getting excited and a bit nervous as well. It is so amazing to think in a little over a week, we finally get to meet our little one. Jason has done a great job with getting everything ready for the day to arrive.

I will try to keep posting as much as possible. I will post again after my next appointment which will be taking place on Monday. I only have one more week of work left and then it will be time off for baby. I am ready to meet this little one. I am getting excited to finally see if the baby is a boy or girl and to see what the baby looks like. Well, enjoy the quick post.

Well this weekend was quite interesting. Friday was a normal day. Then Saturday came along. The kids and I were doing stuff around the house while Jason was working. Then 5pm comes along. Well, from that point on it was not a good night. I started having contractions. I  thought they would just go away, but they did not. Jason started timing them and they were getting closer and stronger. Well, after a while, I called the doctor on call. He said to lay down and drink water. If they didn’t go away, then go to labor and delivery.

Well, we end up going up to the hospital after some time. The contractions were getting stronger and closer together. So, I get admitted and then they do some tests and put me on monitors. After that I was given some pain medicine and ended up being monitored all night. I got checked again in the morning and was told that I can go home. So, no baby at this point. I guess it will be coming shortly though. I have been trying to take it easy today. We had some company over and I just relaxed while everyone was here. I am also trying to stay as hydrated as I can get. I see the doctor again tomorrow and hopefully we get to find out if this baby is waiting for 2 weeks to be born or coming closer.

Well, had my next appointment today. Things are going well. The baby seems like it is moving down a little bit. I got through with my appointment and since my doctor will be on vacation the next 2 weeks, I am going to see the doctor who is covering for him. Dr. Kim thinks that I will not go into labor until he is back from vacation, but we will see how that goes.

I was given my paperwork for the C-Section that is scheduled for Sept. 29th. I have to get some stuff done beforehand and once that blood work and such is done on Sept 27th, then we are good to go for the 29th. I cannot believe that the baby is only 3 weeks away. I am hoping that we can get all the details finished before the baby comes. Well, hopefully I will post again next week. I am going to see the doctor next Monday. I will keep all posted of any news going on in the baby world. Until then, enjoy the post.

Well, just wanted to make a quick post. Things are going well. Last night as we were sleeping, the baby was kicking Jason in the back. It was kind of nice to let him know how it feels. LOL. Anyway, it is so amazing that the baby will be coming in 3 weeks if not before then. We have much of the stuff done. Still a few last minute things. I still have to pack the bag for the hospital. That will be done this week.

I have my next appt. with Dr. Kim tomorrow. Hopefully we will see progress and then the baby will be here in no time at all. He as supposed to get the report from Dr. Smith about my last ultrasound. I am waiting to see if he has any other ideas of the baby coming sooner or not. Well, I will try to post again tomorrow. Until then, enjoy the post.

Well, I have not posted in a few days. Things have been really busy and I have been wiped out. School started for the kids, I am still working and going to the different doctor’s appts. are keeping me busy. I went to the doctor on Tuesday. Things are going well. My pressure was a little high, but nothing major. I had to go for some bloodwork and should be getting the results today.

Today was my last ultrasound. It was kind of a bit sad just thinking that this was the last time we would be going up there to get the video and pictures of the baby. The baby is progressing nicely. The heart and lungs were strong. The baby has been very active. We were told the baby is about 7lbs now.

After the ultrasound, we grabbed breakfast and then headed down to meet with the pediatrician and lactation specialist. I really like the doctor we went with. He informed us of what will go on once the baby is born. Speaking of the baby being born, my due date is Oct. 2nd, but at my last appt., Dr Kim said that if I do not go naturally within the next few weeks, they have a scheduled C-Section for Sept. 29th. So, we are definitely going to meet this little one this month. I am getting excited and ready, but a bit nervous as well. I want to do my best with this little one and I know we have family and friends to support us.

Well, hopefully I will post again soon. I go to see the doctor weekly now, so any new updates and I will try to post them on here. Until then, enjoy the post.
