Janie, you're late!

So Janie is officially late now. I really thought I was going to have her on Wednesday night, because I was going through really hard contractions. It hurt so bad it scared me because I realized this was only the beginning. I wanted Jonathan to take me to labor and delivery, I even had my bag packed, but he decided we should time them and they were too inconsistent and eventually stopped. I went to the doctor yesterday, and even though I'm only dilated to a two, I'm 80% effaced and he said I could come anytime. I have a doctor's appointment on Monday and if she isn't here by then, they'll schedule to induce me on Tuesday Dec. 23rd.

Well good luck! I hope you go into labor before the 22nd! Probably nothing will make you feel better at this point but if it makes you happy you're further along than I was when they induced me! So hopefully things should get moving! In case you have to wait until the 22nd I'll say Merry Christmas now! (And get up pictures as soon as you can... but no pressure....) :)

That's exciting! I luckily went into labor a day before they were going to induce me with Ben! Hopefully you'll have similar luck. And I agree with Feb (Heather), put those pics up, but no pressure. We're all just DYING to see her, but I guess you are too :)

Thanks Heather and Liz! I'll make sure we post the pictures ASAP. I am curious to see if she looks more like me, Jonathan, or Sami. People tell me that Sami looks like me, we have the same nose :). Hehe. So maybe Janie will have our nose too.

Here is hoping for labor soon . . . although I would not mind sharing my birthday with Janie! The 23rd has treated me well all these years :) We are sure cheering you on and hope that little girl makes her appearance soon! Love you all!

Hi Christina, Michaila and I(Janelle) are just looking at your blog to see if you have had your baby yet. I hope by now you have had her and all is going well. We have a Christmas card with your name on it but I don't have your address so if you could sometime e-mail it to me (vorkmom@hotmail.com) when you have a free moment that would be great. Good luck with that baby. We sure miss you in YW! Love, Janelle

Congratulations Chrissy, Jonathan and Sami! And happy birthday Janie! We are so excited that she is doing well now. She is so beautiful!! We know about big babies here too! Although Janie outweighed Tabi by 6 ounces. I'm scheduled to be induced on the 23rd of January (4 days before my due date) in hopes that this baby girl won't be as big as Tabi. You are such a tough woman Chrissy! Way to go! Lots of love!
