Midwife Appointment

My mother and I went to my "almost" 40 week appointment today only to arrive and find out my midwife is out sick. So I had to be seen by another midwife which was a little upsetting being that my midwife and I were going to possibly set a day to induce due to the size of Parker. I was still optimistic and feeling like I would really be dilated more and showing signs of being close. WELL that is not at all what happened I actually am still at 2 cm and Parker still needs to come down a little furthur he is being quite stubborn he gets that from his father. She told me as of RIGHT now it doesn't look like he will be arriving anytime soon BUT that easily can change within hours and there is really no way of knowing. This is not what I wanted to hear and began to sob I am so ready physically and emotionally to have our baby here with us. This midwife that I was seeing decided that our baby does feel very large she is estimating him at over 8.5 lbs right now so decided to order an ultrasound. SO we have an ultrasound on Saturday to try and see exactly how big he is. If he is measuring large and obviously if I have not had him by then, THEN they will talk about inducing. I am going to call my midwife tomorrow to see what she thinks about everything. BUT until then I will sit and patiently wait for our baby boy to arrive. I feel very blessed to have my mother here to help me keep my sanity=) Please pray that he arrives soon as I honestly am very uncomfortable and do NOT want to have a 9 lb baby.

About Me

My photo
Our family started when Michael and I met in the summer of 2003. We fell deeply in love and married on April 20, 2006. We have been truly blessed and the BEST blessing that has happened to us is the birth of our baby boy Parker Gabriel Keenan. He was born on September 28, 2008 at 2am weighing 10.2 lbs and measuring 23 inches long. He is so amazing and Michael and I cherish every moment with him, never knowing when Michael might be deployed makes the time even sweeter. We love God and truly are trying to raise Parker to have a strong relationship with his maker. We miss our family but we are so thankful to be stationed closer to them. God is good!
