YAY!  PROGRESS!!!  Pray this trend continues naturally!  My doctor has scheduled me to be induced at 4PM Thursday...if he doesn't come before on his own.  So Exciting!!!  Stay tuned...

This Week's Update...

Not much to report!  :(  My doctor says there hasn't been much change since last week.  Let's pray for progress this next week.  Next appointment May 31st...

Mexican Food & Birthday Celebrations

My new friends Tish & her husband Chris invited me to join them for dinner to help celebrate May Birthdays.  So fun meeting new people!  And who can pass up yummy mexican food.  This momma LOVES some Chuy's!

Just had to share this pic taken that night...

    JJ & John Ryan due June 5th, Tish & Dallas due June 7th, Crystal & Caleb due June 3rd.
These boys are going to be triple trouble!

1st Signs of Labor...

1/2 centimeter dilated
25% effaced


My doctor also said due to the Gestational Diabetes, she will not allow me to go past my Due Date (June 5th).  She said she would rather me have him in my 39th week, which will begin May 23rd.  So...if my doctor has it her way, I will give birth by the 29th of May.  Please say some prayers about this!!!!  I want to avoid medical interventions, if at all possible!  Scary Fact:  Medical Induction increases the chance of a cesarian section by 70%.  YIKES!


Please pray that signs of labor continue to progress on their own & that my little man decides to make his early debut on his own.


...and that is really all I have to report! :)  Next appointment...May 23rd...

No Signs of Labor...

That's right!  With his due date a month away, John Ryan doesn't seem to be in any kind of a hurry to show his precious face!  Next Appointment...May 13th...
