Update

We're getting closer now. Stephanie was up all night with contractions. Once they got regular we called the midwives and headed into the hospital. Stephanie got checked out and they decided it was too early to keep her. They sent us home with some pills to help her sleep. (She got literally no sleep.) Came home and went to bed around 5am. She's still sleeping, so I assume things have calmed down some. I'm going to let her sleep as long as possible.

I've opened up my Twitter account ( http://twitter.com/KeeganTheBrain ) so I can send out mass updates from my cell phone. Yes, its completely geeky, but it's the easiest way to get the news out to as many interested parties as possible. I was going to use the blog here, but it's a pain to update without a real computer.

We're cautiously optimistic that this is leading to the home stretch, but we're just as unsure as anyone else. Thanks for your support and patience while we wait for little Peanut to arrive.

Happy Due Date!

This pregnancy has been full of surprises and not at all what I expected; but when all is said and done I'm glad we decided to have a baby. Today marks the last 'official' day of my pregnancy and I've carried Peanut to term and completed the necessary 40 weeks. Now I just wait for the little one to make his or her debut.

Contractions Make Me Say OW!

Last night, I was woke up by some contractions. Each time I feel a mini contraction I get so excited but this time there wasn't time to think about being excited. Only time to think...OW! I had some more mini contractions earlier so Jourdan and I went to walk around for a bit while my dad stayed home and watched the football game.

Nesting & Dr. Appt.

After a restful nights sleep, I woke up with the desire to clean, clean, clean. I finished cleaning the house around noon and then Jourdan and I went off to meet with the mid-wife. All the midwife would say was it's time to wait and it seems like I'm getting closer to having a Peanut.

Today Dad put up the outdoor Christmas lights today. They look super cute!

Contractions Begin...

Today at 11 I started having contractions that lasted until around 3. We called the midwives and sounds like I'm having a few pre-labor contractions. 

Ready to have a Peanut...

I'm so ready to have Peanut now, just have to wait. 

This weekend, Jourdan and dad took down the old baby crib and dad bought us a rocking chair. Interestingly enough, the woman we bought the chair from was from Oklahoma and went to the same university as dad and I. We also went to the Mother and Baby source and I bought cloth diaper inserts and other last minute purchases. It was a busy weekend but a very productive one.

Last night we had dinner at Cynthia's...(yummy lasagna!) and watched football. Just before we left I got this horrible stitch in my side. I called the midwife and checked that everything was okay and she agreed that most likely I just pulled a muscle. Luckily I'm feeling much better this morning. 

I also had more little contractions yesterday night so I'm hopeful we'll be having a little Peanut soon!
