I know many of you (and most of all ME!) have been waiting on pins and needles for this little baby to show up, so I figured I'd give you a little update.
Yesterday I was officially a week overdue and went to the hospital for a non-stress test, ultrasound and Dr. appointment. Everything went swimmingly and Baby James seems quite happy and healthy. The ultrasound tech thought that the baby could be about 9 pounds(!!). The midwife said not to take that number too seriously, as usually ultrasounds are not terribly accurate. In any case, they want to induce me on Saturday.
So, baby has his/her eviction notice set! I'm praying that it comes before Saturday, so that we don't have to induce.
Thanks for your love and prayers! Baby will be here soon!
come out little one!!! good luck kerrie and brian, we'll be praying for you!
ReplyDeletei'll be praying for you, kerrie, brian, and baby *girl* james. :)
ReplyDeleteI am looking at what you pictured and posted yesterday... and looking at today's photo... Did you purchase TWO balls at that pharmacy?
ReplyDelete;-)
I think Brian and his brothers were around 9-pounders so maybe...
:-o
what a suspense story!
I had a dream last night that you had your baby. It went quite well and all were overjoyed. I am praying that this is exactly what happens.
ReplyDeleteKerrie, if he/she does come on the 6th, that is at least a good day... our anniversary! ;) For your sake I pray that Baby James will come early, though. Either way, you will be holding him or her so soon and it will all be TOTALLY worth it! Prayers for you all xxxx
ReplyDeletePraying for you :) Thought you might like our fun baby stories. We have 4 boys. The first was born 3 weeks early in a total of 3 hours 49 minutes (everything-labor and delivery!) Number 2-tried to come 5 weeks early, bed rest (with a 1 year old!) for 2 weeks then they broke my water and little one was born in less than 3 hours. Number 3, 2 weeks early, labor started, water broken and sweet boy born in 2 hours. Yes, this is why I had natural childbirth! So number 4 is on his way-I prepared all of the midwives how these guys come early, be prepared, especially since we now live 30 minutes from the hospital! Baby showers were thrown a month in advance of due date (since they were all early!)...and then we wait...and wait...and wait! This little boy was induced 8 days past his due date, with total labor and delivery time of 17 hours (and still natural)! And he was 2 pounds bigger than his brothers! Needless to say, they are all different but God's perfect timing! Of course a special gift from the Lord, this little one was born on his Daddy's birthday-which was never expected :) God bless you, your sweet one will be with you and hubby soon!

Oh I hope Baby James comes out on his or her own! I came in JUST to check on you right now! FWIW, I had an ultrasound with Maura the morning she was born. They estimated her to weigh 6 pounds 9 ounces...she weighed 6 pounds 5 ounces ;) Then again, a different tech at a different place, 6 weeks earlier had already pinned Maura at 6 pounds then! Just goes to show it isn't that accurate ;) Thinking of you!!
ReplyDeleteI woke up thinking about you! Sending you Fast and Easy Labor Vibes today! I hope all goes well! I can't wait to hear ALL ABOUT Baby James!!!
ReplyDeletePraying for you right now!!

ReplyDeleteCONGRATS! Can't wait to meet the little James. And love the name... I'll let you share it with everyone, though! ;)
