Big Date!

Well... assuming we can make it through the week, we are scheduled to be induced on Monday, December 29th. I am so anxious to finally meet little Hannah and to introduce her to her big brother, Josh!

I hope that everyone has a WONDERFUL holiday! We will be sure to update with pics and details as soon as we have them!

Mike's Surprise!

As a wonderful surprise, Mike also completely finished the entire nursery and Josh's 'big boy room' by the time I was released from the hospital. He did such a great job!

Still cooking!

I apologize for not having updated in a while. On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, the contractions started getting closer together and more intense. The doctor had us come in to Clarian West to be checked, and they found that I had dilated to 1.5 cm, 50% effaced. By the next morning, I was at 3 cm., 75% effaced. Clarian West is not equipped to handle a delivery before 34 weeks, so they transferred me downtown to Indiana University Hospital. I spent the next seven days there, waiting it out until I could come back home to deliver locally. After many rounds of medicine and steroid shots to prepare Hannah's lungs, they have not been able to stop the contractions but have been able to keep them from dilating me further. So-- we play the waiting game again! I go back to the doctor in the morning, so I will update at that point.

We did have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family! It was so much fun to watch the cousins playing together.
