She's Here!

We just got home from the hospital today. Jaina Elayne was born April 8th. Despite my doctor's predictions of a large baby she only weighed 6 lb 5 oz. I just had so much amniotic fluid! I had some issues with passing out and heavy blood loss in the beginning but I am fine now. And Jaina is healthy too, so I am happy. Our family is complete :)

The End is Near

I know I haven't written in forever but I thought some of you might like to know how the pregnancy is going. I'm being induced Sunday because I'm on the verge of toxemia and also the baby is rather large and could pose a problem delivering if she is left in there too much longer. I didn't want to be induced but it seems to be the healthiest choice at this point. So wish me luck!

A little bump in the road is the fact that I have developed a cold and feel quite miserable. I did some reading about it and apparently it's still safe to induce and the baby will not likely catch the cold since I am breastfeeding. I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow and make sure he recommends going through with it.

My family and I are so excited to welcome Baby Jaina. I'm still in awe that I'm having a baby at the age of 39. This pregnancy has went by very quickly and with very little problems so I am praying the delivery goes just as smoothly.
