Madeline is here!

Madeline Mae Coe graced us with her presence today, Friday, July 31 at 2:24a.m.. She weighs 8 lbs, 7 oz. and measures 20.5 inches long. All are happy and healthy. Pics to be posted soon.

At the hospital

We checked in yesterday at 3 p.m. to be induced. As of today, I'm 4 centimeters, 80 percent effaced, epidural in place and waiting! The epidural provided great relief to the aweful back pain I experienced most of the night. Hope to have our little girl in our arms before dinner time!

Due Date!

Today is my due date - HA - she's still swimming around inside. I know the day is not over, but I have a feeling she's not going to make her appearance today. My doctor wont' let me carry her past 10 days from now. For fun - reply with y0ur guess of the time of day and day she'll finally decide to meet us.

39 Week Appointment

WELL....Nothing new to report - same dialation and effacement as last week. The doctor could feel her head - so she's down and ready! Pray that we'll find some dry patches the next few so we can walk and get things moving.

On a different note, my car started smoking as I was pulling out of the hospital garage. We think it might be clutch related. Yuck! So it's at the car doctor in hopes for a quick fix. Dave had to pull the "my wife is due Monday" card when he called - as they were booked up. Pray for a speedy recovery for our "milk truck"!

TGIF :)

T-1 Week

The only update for today is.... HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY to DAVE!!

Week 38 Appointment

We had our 38 Week appointment this afternoon. On par with the last visit with this doctor (our doctor is in Scotland this week), we had a nice 90 minute wait. He's known for being thorough with his patients, which is great, but makes him notoriously late...especially at the end of the day. The appointment was awesome. My blood pressure was great and I'm showing signs of progression towards labor - yeah :) I'm 1 cm. dialated and 70% effaced. He confirmed I've dropped and was happy to share that our baby's head is sitting very low and in position for labor. His prediction for our baby's weight is 7 1/2 lbs (final weight). I like his prediction much better :) So now it's your turn to chime in - how much will baby girl Coe weigh? Winner gets a prize!
