Julianna Update

It's 10:45 pm here....I am 37 and a half weeks along....God know's Julianna's perfect birthday....and it will be tomorrow, April 1st.....

Kinda funny because I remember telling people that the "one day" that I didn't want her to be born was April 1st just because it is April Fools. When you play sports, you tend to be a little suspicious about things...especially when you are dealing with numbers all the time. Anyways, I think God has a funny sense of humor....Because it looks like tomorrow will be Julianna's birthday.

I had my routine doctor's appointment today at 11am and it was also our annual "Race for Education" run for school. My friend Kim and I decided to walk around until I had to leave for my appt. She pushed the kids and we made a total of 4 laps. At my appt. I actually had dilated a little more than I was last week. I was now a solid 2, almost a 3. My doctor could tell that its getting a little tough with the two kids at home, and so she stripped my membranes.

I guess it worked!! We started having solid contractions and they were about a minute apart for 3 hours before I agreed to go to Labor and Delivery. The reason I didn't want to go is becuase it seems I just don't dilate much and it doesn't matter how close those pesky contractions are....

So, what do you do?? Pray!!! I prayed that somehow there would be a change in dilation from this morning, or that the contractions would be strong so that we would stay. At first check, I was still a solid 2. I though for sure we were going home and that I would just have to "deal" with the contractions until my water broke. God heard my prayers!!! An hour later she checked again because she could see that I was getting strong contractions every minute and was hoping that I had changed. She checked, and I changed to a 3!!!!!

We were admitted tonight at about 9:30pm, so hopefully in a few hours we will have a new baby in our family!!! Well, I am going to go back to working on these contractions
