Home Sweet Home!

Here are a few pictures from our arrival home. We are getting a little sleep here and there and feeding around the clock. But, we wouldn't have it any other way.

Welcome Anna Jadon Patel

We are so excited to announce Anna Jadon Patel's arrival into the world! She joined us on August 7th, 2007 at 6:17 pm (after 17 long hours of labor!!). She weighed 7 pounds and 4 ounces and was 21 inches long. We think she is beautiful!

Here are a few pictures from the day! It has taken a while to get this posted because we are all sleep deprived around here.

40 Week Doctor's visit

My due date is just two days away! Not much has changed since my visit last week but here is the quick run down. I am about 50-75% effaced (I was around 50% last week but I also saw the other Doctor in my practice so I'm pretty sure these are not scientific numbers but estimates!), no dialation and the baby is still very low. The doctor was encouraged that the baby is so low and he seems to think that will make things go smoother and quicker (I am hoping for this but will try very hard not expect it!!).

My next appointment is Wednesday the 8th so I'll be sending out an update then if nothing has happened by that point. We did talk about induction and they said they would let me go to 41 1/2 weeks or so. Please pray that I will go into labor on my own anytime now! Thanks!
