Macey's Birth Story

Two weeks before my due date, on April 27th we had a doctors appointment and found out I was 3cm dilated and 70% effaced.  My Doctor, Doctor Olmstead, told us that if we wanted to induce we could because my cervix was very favorable and I would have no problems having her at 39 weeks.  She also thought that with how well I was progressing that I would most likely have the baby a week before my due date anyways.  We never really thought about inducing because I thought they wouldn't induce until 41 weeks.  Well that is only with your first baby.  When it is your second baby they will induce at 39 weeks.  So we decided to go home and think about it. On Monday May 1st we called the clinic and scheduled the induction for May 5th.  I was still nervous about inducing so we scheduled another doctors appointment for May 3rd to talk to our doctor more about it and to see if I had progressed any further.  Side note:  our doctor was going out...

Third Trimester with Baby #2

This trimester consists of weeks 28-40 How far along?    38.5 weeks  Maternity clothes? Yes  Stretch marks? Nope, I was blessed with stretchy skin I guess!! Sleep? Not the best sleep ever, but I am getting some. Some nights it is hard to breath when I lay on a certain side. my hips and back are really starting to hurt throughout the night, which makes me start to toss and turn.  Naps are a must every day now. Favorite moments? When Liam will come and kiss my tummy and give sister hugs. Eating whatever I want because it is the only thing that makes me feel better.  haha Moments you will not miss? The continual jumping and pushing on of the bladder. The violent kicking of the ribs and stomach.  There have been times she has made me scream! Having to pee every hour on the dot! the constant uncomfortable feeling waking up every2-3 hours to pee in the night. Being extremely tired all day. ...
