EXTRA...EXTRA...

Well, I still don't have a camera so no fun pictures but I have decided to have Tech Specialist fix mine for $175(ridiculous). I just hope they have it done before the big event or I will have to go out and buy one, which I want to do anyway.

Also, Cody rearranged the furniture in our bedroom and we found a way to make our play pen work for the baby instead of buying/borrowing a bassinet.

At my doctors appointment Tuesday I was dialated to a 2 and 70% thinned and his head was applying moderate pressure! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Well, no I am not in labor and it isn't going to come anyday, but it does mean that I am making progress. I haver heard stories of people being dialated for weeks, so I am not holding my breath. With Saige I never dialated until two days after my due date when they admited me into to hospital and just started me with drugs and stripping. So Dr. Noorda told me to plan on sooner rather than later and if I hadn't started on my own by the 4th of March he would start me where I have already progressed so much. Yipee!

I have definately felt things changing. Much more pressure and my hips feel like they are seperating. I don't remember ever feeling like this with Saige. The very best part...because he has moved down my siatic nerve isn't pinched as much and causing me constant pain. For the last few weeks I didn't think I was going to make it. My back is still sore but not nearly as painful, so I can at least function now and pray it doesn't come back. I'll keep you posted!

Well I don't want to scare you, but I was at a 4 and 80% 2 weeks before dylan was due. I made Noorda start me asap. And Dylan came so much faster than Deb. Good Luck!

I am soo excited for you to have a baby boy. They are so much fun. So good luck and enjoy a new baby. This is kind of random but I was thinking about you the other day when my oldest daughter told me she had to brush her teeth 4000 strokes before she went off to school. Wasn't it you that brushed your teeth so much your enamel was starting to come off? I sure miss seeing you.

YAY! Hopefully sooner than later! I'm glad he is off the siatic nerve a little bit, that should help, hu?!? ugh I don't miss that feeling! Best of luck for the next few weeks!!!

How exciting Brit! I hope that things go well for you, just remember to take care of yourself. I love Dr. Noorda, he did my emergency c-section a little over a year ago. BTW I love that picture of Saige, and I totally envy her lashes. -Candice

I'm so happy for you. I loved going to the dr. and getting that kind of news. I know your stress about your camera, I've felt it. If you need one for your big event, we have an extra you can borrow. Beautiful picture of Saige!
