40 Weeks....

Today Ryal, Hailey and I had a great doctors appointment. They said everything looked great and we just had to see how the next few days go. They hooked me up to a fetal monitor to check her heart rate - which is healthy and strong - and to see if I was having contractions. I WAS and didn't even know it!

They said it could be any day now but if for some reason she has not come we will be induced on Friday morning. Meaning we would have our baby girl no later than this weekend! What wonderful news!

Ryal is still working, having a hard time keeping his mind off the arrival of Hailey and I am working from home just in case something happens. Emma Grace and Charlie are keeping me company. I am sure they have no idea what they are in store for.

The house has been ready for weeks. We are going to keep Hailey downstairs in our room for the first couple of weeks/months. Once she is on a schedule or mom and dad are ready, we will move her to her nursery upstairs.

I can not believe it has been 40 weeks and in a few short (or what might seem like LONG) days we will finally be able to meet our baby girl. We can not wait.

We promise to keep everyone posted.

Any Day Now!

I can not believe it has been so long since I have last blogged. So much has happened and I am so sorry I have not shared it with everyone.

Life is wonderful and Ryal and I are expecting our little girl any day now. We had our 39 week appointment on Monday and we are almost 2cm dilated and 90% effaced. Meaning we are ready!!! The doctor did say she could come this week or anytime until Aug 24- that is when we would be induced.

I am not sure who is more excited and ready - me, Ryal or the grandparents. Either way we have so many friends and family awaiting the birth of our little girl - we can't wait to meet her.

I am still at work - working until we go into labor. Our bags are packed and every time I call Ryal I can tell he is disappointed that I am not informing him that my water broke or I am having contractions.

I have included some photos of the belly progress over the past few weeks. They said she should be around 7lbs 3oz. All I know is she is going to be perfect! We can not wait to be parents!
