Precious Abby

Here are some pictures we have taken over the last few days ... thought you might enjoy them!
Abby has lots of family and friends that love her already.

She's Finally Here!

Abigail Peyton Holm was born Monday, April 30th at 11:09 PM.

She weighed 7 lbs 1 oz and was 20.5 inches long.

Here are some pictures of our sweet Abby!

It has been a very busy week, but I promise to put more pictures up as the days go by. We are still adjusting to being home as of yesterday and the lack of sleep, but we are so happy that Abby is here with us! We still can't believe we have a daughter of our own. Stay tuned for more in the days ahead...

Taking Her Time

Just wanted to update everyone ... no baby yet. Everything was progressing last night as my contractions started getting regular and working their way toward 5 minutes apart. Around 4 AM Na and I went to the hospital with contractions regularly at 5 minutes. However, I had not dilated any further and the contractions just aren't strong enough yet. Big Bummer! We were at the hospital till about 11 AM and then they sent us home to wait it out. Even though I am having regular contractions they are not productive enough to further dilation ... so we continue to wait. We are both exhausted today from being up almost all night and then all the "drama" at the hospital so we have just been trying to sleep and eat and hang out. It is hard to just sit around and wait, but neither of us feel like doing much of anything. Hopefully things will continue to develop, but right now there isn't anything happening.

On her way...

Well it was a long night, I had contractions off and on all night starting around 1 AM. Nothing that is regular or close enough together yet to warrant going to the hospital...but it looks like things are progressing. I feel like we might have her here within 24 hours, but who knows...she is on her own time table. I'm feeling okay, just tried to rest this morning since I didn't get sleep last night, but I may go walking after lunch today and see if that speeds things along.
Stay tuned ...

Waiting...

I have made it to 37 weeks, and have been off the medicine for about 3 days now. Not much happening so far - which I have been a little disappointed with. All went well at the doctor today, baby and I are doing fine. I am just ready to get things moving along - so impatient! I have dilated to a 2, so that is a little progress. Since my appointment today I haven't felt very well though ... not sure if that means anything or not.
We finally sold the Solara today, so that was a huge weight lifted off of us. Mostly it was just so time consuming to keep showing it and dealing with all the people and their questions and such. So glad that is all taken care of now.
My mom is back for a few days right now and that is great because it really helps pass the time when someone is here during the day. Also, it is good because I can get out and walk around so we have been able to do a few things each day. I feel like a freed prisioner!!!
We will continue to keep you up to date with any changes.

The End Is In Site!

We have made it to the 36 week deadline! Yesterday's appointment went really well. Baby looks great and is measuring around 6lbs 6oz now. My doctor says that we are ready for labor...so I am going off of the meds this weekend! We may have a baby girl next week! So exciting!!! Although there is no guarantee as to how things will happen once I quit taking the medication, my doctor seems to think it will only be a matter of a few days. Let's hope she is right! I am so ready!! I will try to keep everyone posted as things progress. Please say a little prayer that all goes well (and quickly) with the labor/birth. I can't wait for all of you to meet her!

35 Weeks

Here is Miss Priss in her latest photo...
All went well at the doctor this week, so we are just hanging on for another 2 weeks. I guess we could have an end of April or first of May baby. I am ready now, but I know it is best for her if we wait a little longer. This is the first sono where we were able to see her face. Usually she has her hands over her face, so I was excited to get a glimpse of her.
