Baby Pics

Baby Gabriella is finally here! I went into labor on Friday afternoon and at 8:02 Gabriella made her appearance! She is absolutely beautiful and her dad and I are totally thrilled. I haven't slept in 24 hours (due to an adrenaline rush) and am now feeling slightly tired. I had so much support in the delivery room and made it to being dialed to 6 cm before I requested an epideral. I stil cannot believe we made something so beautiful!

40 Weeks

So, still no baby! The baby must be awfully comfortable! I was having contractions (or so I thought) on Christmas Eve. Eventually they went away so it must have been Braxton Hicks.
I am dialated to a 4 and 80% effaced. The doctor was sure the baby was going to make its arrival by Christmas...but alas.....I am still pregnant! My last appointment was Dec. 26. I have been scheduled for an induction on Dec. 30 at 7:30 a.m. Ready or not....here we go! Enrique is super excited and nervous and extra nervous since he can't be here. Hopefully, we will be on webcam so he can see everything. We'll see how it all works out!
I am way nervous to get induced....the pitocin doesn't sound appealing at all. The doctor said what I really needed to do was go home and talk the baby into coming out. Enrique and I have been coaxing the baby, but still no contractions or water breakage!
Everyone wish me luck. Just think a good thought for the baby, Enrique, and I. We will post pictures soon.
Hope things are well with everyone. Happy 2008!

T'was just before Christmas....

Okay....
Still no baby Gonzalez! My last doctor's appt. was Dec. 12 and I was dialated to between a 2 and a 3 and 80% effaced....the baby's head was low and my cervix was "nice and soft". The doctor's prediction is that the baby will be here before Christmas---hold on tight!
I am just pluggin along--my prediction is I will be in labor by Dec. 17. That is Enrique's mom's birthday and our original wedding date! That would be cool!
My mom sold her house so she is getting ready to move back up to SLC! Perfect timing!
Happy Holidays--hope things are well with everybody!

36 weeks........

So, we have four weeks to go! I cannot believe it! We are getting so excited to see our baby--we talk every night about what the baby is going to look like...I can't even imagine.
Hopefully, our hospital is going to let us webcam so my husband can see the birth live. If not, I will try to have someone on the phone with him and we will be videotaping. It is getting scary to think about....
You can see my latest belly shot and pics from my second shower! We have gotten so much stuff. I can't believe how nice people are!
Hope things are well with everyone!
