Tanner's finally here!!!


Scott and i are very happy to annouce that Tanner finally made her debut:-) She was born on October 16th at 2:42 p.m. She was 6lbs. 11oz and was 19 1/4" long. Labor was not TOO bad. 12 hours total from start to finish. She has been such a joy already! We just got her home today and she has met her 2 new sisters, Chloe & Ruby (the dogs:-) They are VERY curious but so far are doing really well with her.
We had a little bit of a rough start with feeding (i'm nursing) but i think we are both starting to get the hang of it. She has the cutest little sound she makes when she starts to get upset but so far she's pretty easy to console.
Scott & i are so thrilled!! We can't wait for all the joys, and trials, of parenthood!

No baby yet!

Well, Tanner is still not here. My actual due date isn't until tomorrow, so maybe she's just waiting until then:-) I went to the doctor today and i'm still at 3 cm. My doc said sometimes when you get to 3 you stop progressing. I don't think she's dropped anymore as i still can't seem to breathe any easier and her kicks don't feel any lower. The doctor set up an appt. for me to be induced on Oct. 22nd if she's still not here by then. So...now we're just playing the waiting game :-) I'm so excited and so anxious i can't even think straight! I will keep you posted!

Some sad news...

My Grandma Evelyn passed away last night. She had cancer for a while so it is kind of a blessing in disguise i guess you could say. That still doesn't prepare you for the loss! I will miss her tremendously and i wish she would've been able to meet her great-granddaughter Tanner. I know she'll be watching (and beaming) from above. I realize she is in a much better place though and she is not suffering anymore. May you rest in peace Grandma, we love you!!

Still no baby yet:-) We are just waiting until Tanner decides to make her debut. I'll be 39 weeks this Tuesday. I still feel SO unorganized as i haven't experienced that "nesting" thing yet. I mean, the nursery is ready but i still feel like there is something i'm forgetting. Is this normal?

I had an appt. for fetal monitoring today and everything is fine. They measured the fluid and it's normal and so is her heartrate and her movement so that made me feel good:-) I just can't wait to meet the little "soccer player" that i've been carrying around (that's what she feels like anyway, she's got some kicks:-)
