I'm back! 11-29-08 03:27pm CST
Well I am finally getting around to posting. Things are going great! I LOVE being a mommy. Ashlyn is such a sweet baby. She rarely cries, unless she is cold. Nursing is going well just takes a lot of commitment at first. We are so blessed she was wonderful and coordinated people to bring us food. We have had food almost everyday and will until Dec. 6th. She'll never know how amazing that is until she has a little one of her own. On top of food we have had so may visits, flowers, cards, phone calls, leaves rakes, and prayers! Tim and I have sat and thanked God multiple times. We are truly surrounded by wonderful people who are teaching us so much about servant-hood. Here are some of my favorite pictures. Hope you enjoy as much as I have!

We're Having a Baby.....On Wednesday! 11-14-08 11:39pm CST
Went to the doctor today and my blood pressure was elevated. It has been increasing so they decided not to risk it and just go ahead and indue on Wednesday. Right now they are full Tuesday night which is really when they would rather go ahead and start me, but there is a likely chance one of the other females could go into labor before then. So sometime Wednesday we will get to hold our sweet little girl, Lord willing! We are thrilled, but it now officially feels more real! I will try to post pics but more than likely she will be able to get them up before I can! Thanks in advance for your prayers!

kaceyatthebatI didn't want to call and disturb you, but I wanted to tell you that I've been thinking of you and hope everything is going well for you as a new mommy. Take care. 
txvballer 
kaceyatthebatThat's great! I was hoping you were finding nursing to go well. It takes a knack, but it's amazing how easy it gets...sort of mindless actually! And to think of how hard it is in the beginning! I'm proud of you.

Progress...not enough 11-09-08 05:06pm CST
Went to the Dr. Friday and I am now 80% effaced and dilated 1.5. This little one wants to take her time! Tim has a pool going right now. He says the 18th. I think there are several who have a day picked at church! I don't care what day it is just some day soon! I have LOVED being pregnant but the fact that all the sudden I can start cramping uncontrollably or wet all over myself at any point makes me a little anxious! Two weeks from tomorrow is my due date so even if she wait until then it really isn't that long away! And the Dr. said he would induce on the 26th so then I wouldn't have to wait much longer after that! Hopefully she come sooner! What day do you think?
kerrigantomorrow
isn't it pretty rare to just randomly break your water without warning? 
emily_marieShe'll come on my birthday, the 17th. 
shesheWell, little Ashlyn is just taking her own sweet time!! I say she'll come on the 19th!! 
laughing_eyesi want in on that action - i pick the 21st, 9:00 am 
anuttyChad's birthday was the 2nd, and she missed that one, so how about the 20th. I'll hold off on the time! 
littlebitI say Friday the 14th :-) 
jamiemmoonhow about your mom's b'day...that would be fun. 
kaceyatthebatHappened to me. 
seattle22I say next week, without picking a day. 
polaramyMe too. Actually, even though I wasn't having contractions, I could still tell things were different and figured something was about to happen. Samantha waited until I was in bed so I could wet myself in private. Praying for you! 
mommyx3Thanksgiving day. 
mommyx3Oh wait...thats the 27th. Okay....how about Thursday(13th) 
beckydI vote the 14th- that's when I told her she should come because Tim is already off that day. Does she need her Aunt Becky to talk to her some more about listening and following directions?

And, yes it happened to me, too. During worship services nonetheless. 
ilovepondsI pick the 15th! 
mommy2boysI pick the 17th. I was 3 cm dilated with Christopher for 3 straight weeks! Some babies just like to take their time. Good luck! 
windham4lifeoh boy!! The time will be here before you know it! 
kaceyatthebatOh wow! I was doing laundry at home. A little hamper of towels, not heavy at all, but I lifted it off the ground and that's when it all started. I didn't even have contractions for a couple of hours later. Maybe doing laundry would work for you, too Amanda! hehehe 
diannaHmm...my first was in no hurry to arrive and had to be induced. I'll be the pessimist of the group and say she'll ride it out all the way til the 26th. (Although for you, I hope she does come earlier than that!) :) 
sharonI stayed at a 5 for a few days with my last one. Shocked the nurse in the grocery store who had seen me the night before in the hospital. :-P 
kaceyatthebatCouponing saves us a TON. Typically I spend about $50 a week at the grocery store and then about $15-20 a week on eating out so we can have a nice lunch with family on Sunday afternoons. I really look forward to that. 
kaceyatthebatI know you're getting so excited! You must be feeling pretty ready. I am hoping she comes out to meet you soon and you don't need to be induced. YUCK! 
crystalizedSome babies just take their time. I'm so excited for you!! :) 
debsherbsOh you are at that exciting demanding emotional time. I think you will go by your due date!! That's a safe one isn't it!! Good thing I didn't put a turkey on that little bow so she can wear it will all things fall!!!! Take care and just try to enjoy the next few days with your hubby, it will be time that you will treasure!!! 
momofthreejuly123Mine all came on their due dates. I was so impatient w/the first two. When the I was pregnant w/the third one, I wanted to wait antoher week. My guess is that you'll have it on the 21st.

Time for an Update... 11-03-08 09:45pm CST
Not much has been going on here. As you can see I am officially at 37 weeks of pregnancy. I went to the Dr. on Thursday and was 70% effaced and dilated fingertip to one. I was excited that I had at-least some progress however now I am ready for this baby to come. I have had some contractions but nothing to really get too excited about. Bags are packed, rooms ready, house is ready, and car-seat installed. I still have some time but it also could be any day so now we just wait!
On a much different note I just finished reading the Twilight Series. I haven't been that addicted to a book in a long time. I read them in a little bit over a week and really enjoyed reading it. I went to the library today and checked out some other books to read. This has been helping me pass my time. Any suggestions? I am running out of ideas on what to read! Well I guess that's it for now. Hopefully next time I post I will be posting pictures of our sweet baby girl! Feel free to check her blog for info as well!

lisakayeHave you read any Dee Henderson or Terri Blackstock books? 
missyDee Henderson books are really good. 
momofthreejuly123I'm not a book reader. Hope she comes soon! 
ilovepondsGood luck and you REALLY are ready! I'm impressed. 
sharonwoop! So soon! 
sunshinebearGood Luck! Can't wait to see pictures... 
mommy2boysI love the Twilight series. I read each book in a day! I was so addicted I couldn't put them down. Good luck! You are definitely more prepared than I am! 
bethoumyvisioni've got to be one of the only females that hasn't read twilight. 
beautiful2himSO excited for you! 
jamiemmoonhey, what cha need for this baby girl?
