This morning I saw the doctor…again…for the second time this week. She wanted to check me one more time before the long holiday weekend. Pez’s heartrate was in the 140s and 150s. The doctor said Pez has moved even lower
39-week doctor’s appointment
No progress. That’s what has happened in the past week since our false alarm. Today the doctor said I’m still 4 cm, 50 percent effaced and -1 station. I’ve felt plenty of contractions over the past week, although none of
False alarm
We thought yesterday was going to be Pez’s birth date. I woke up around 1:45 a.m. with some back pain. (That was how my labor with Avery started.) After timing the pains for a couple of hours, Chris called my
Another 38-week doctor’s appointment
Even though I’m still 38 weeks, I guess today’s appointment was my 39-week one. The doctor said I am 3 to 4 cm (closer to 4), 50 percent effaced and -1 station. I had no idea that I had progressed

36-week doctor’s appointment
Friday’s doctor’s appointment was a full one. Pez’s heartbeat was 150 bpm, and he’s head down. Let’s hope he stays that way! I’m measuring 36 weeks…right on target. The nurse said she can tell that my body is getting ready
How to be a big sister
Way back in March, we took Avery and her bunny Daisy to a sibling class at the hospital. We thought it would be a fun way for her to learn about being a big sister and how to care for
34-week doctor’s appointment
We celebrated 34 weeks today at the doctor’s office. Pez’s heartbeat was in the 140s, and I’m measuring 35 weeks. The doctor couldn’t decide if Pez is head-down or not. But there is still plenty of time for him to
32-week doctor’s appointment
Today was my 32-week appointment. We’re getting closer and closer to Pez’s arrival! Pez’s heartbeat was between 125 and 130, which is just right. The only thing I discussed with the nurse was the swelling in my feet and hands…again.
