pregnancy
We are back home, no baby yet.
02/10/08 01:24
We are back at home. After monitoring for about 4
hours the midwife sent us home. There are no
contractions so she gave us an appointment for 10:00
AM tomorrow unless anything happens. It is about 15%
of women whose water break before the contractions
start and about 75% of those women have their baby
within 24 hours.
Baby looks healthy, momma looks healthy but tired. We are going to try to sleep tonight and get ready for tomorrow. It may be a long day. I will not be updating this site because I will not have access to it but follow my Twitter here I will be sending updates constantly.

Blue Ball review
02/08/08 22:48
Last week while looking for some soothing bath,
aromatherapy we walked into
Bath and Body
Works
and found a massager for using when the labor pains
start. We were lookning for a tennis ball but didn't
see one at
Target.
As we looked throug the bubble bath stuff I found
a
blue massager.
At the end we ended up finding a
better one.
I can't find the right one on the website but
it is a ball that rolls. inside of a holder, looks
like an oversize "Roll on" deodorant except that
this one is blue and heavy.
This actually creates no friction on the skin or
clothes and rolls freely giving a better experience.
It really helps Cindy rest. The price is about $20.00
but it is a well spent twenty. For the person
massaging with it it takes no strength to actually
make it work and it feels just as soothing. I have
even fallen asleep to it. I highly recommend it even
for non pregnant people, just to have on hand to have
your better half help you rest.
Creeping up on 40th week...
02/07/08 22:27
It's Thursday night...family just got done watching a
new episode of Lost....and we just have more
questions. We are enjoying the show while we can
because we will be on baby's schedule soon - or so I
hope! I am nearing the 40th week....and I haven't had
any strong contractions in about a week - nothing
that has caught my attention anyway. I am just so
anxious to see our little guy...he's just not coming
fast enough. His auntie is scheduled to come into
this world tomorrow by c-section, and if there is no
activity tonight then we hope to go visit her in
Seattle. That's if I'm very motivated to ride the bus
to meet daddy! I am at the point where I cannot sit
for very long...and an hour bus ride isn't the
greatest right now. We'll try our best though. Mom
and baby will continue to keep you posted of how we
are doing. Keep checking back!
39th and a half Week visit to midwife
02/06/08 22:04
Today we had our visit to the midwife, she told us
everything is great. Baby is in position and with the
head down (where it should be).
Momma's progress:
She's very tired, and still taking baths to soothe the pain on her hips and pelvis. She's hungry as a hippo, and eats all my strawberries. She gained 3 pounds since the last visit. Although she lost 2 last week to stomach problems. She's dialated about 1 cm. but there aren't any signs of baby coming.
Baby's progress:
He keeps moving and kicking momma, he's very active all day and night. He likes for Daddy to read to him every night He's getting big by the minute.
Daddy's progress: He's growing more and more anxious to see his mini me. He keeps dreaming of him and day dreaming even at work. Getting ready for the sleepless nights to come.
After our appointment we went to REI to pick up an order from back in December but found that it had been returned to the distribution center. We got refunded anyway. Cindy got hungry and wanted to go to Cheese Cake Factory. We shared a plate and came home. It's only Wednesday....

Week 23 update
10/23/07 18:49
As week 23 ends, there have been many good things to
the pregnancy. Momma has been sick for the past 2
weeks and finally getting better. She's not coughing
as much. During this whole sickness, little Bear has
been a brave young man, he keeps kicking like a
little karate kid. I have woken up in the middle of
the night becouse momma can't sleep and little one
wants to play. He gets really active in the wee hours
of the morning. Papa bear talks, he kicks. This is
the most incredible feeling!
Today we went to a "baby proofing" seminar at the local Babys R Us. We learned about how to make things safer for the baby. Door locks, kitchen area, Etc. We got this website that I have to research a little more, called Safe Kids this website has English and Español checklists for safety In almost all situations. Pool, Halloween, Fire, water safety, you get the idea. We have our monthly check up this week and will have information about the progress of the baby.
