Last Post before Cameron Arrives

Hello to all! I had my final doctor's appointment today before we go into the hospital very late on Monday night. I actually didn't get to see my doctor just the nurse but things are still fine. Cameron is moving a lot and doing her thing. My blood pressure is still up a little so I still need to be careful with my sodium intake and rest as much as possible. I am 80% effaced which means my cervix is softening nicely and I am a loose 1 cm dilated. We found out what the procedure will be for going into the hospital on Monday night. We will get checked in, get an I V, put me on the monitor, and give me Pitocin, which will make the contractions start. I will also have some antibiotics because I was positive for the Beta Strep Test. My doctor will come in the morning around 7 or 8 and break my water if it hasn't broken naturally. According to the nurse I will have Cameron on Tuesday because my doctor won't let it my labor last 24 hours. The nurse also said that if I am not progressing well my doctor might do a C - Section. I pray that I don't have to have a C-Section.

Well, my next post will be of Cameron being with us! The next part of our journey is getting ready to start and we can't wait!

Fall Vacation

Today Joe and Todd went to Fogcutter and watched the Bears game while Kim and I went shopping. We meet up with the boys and went to dinner at On the Border, a great Mexican restaurant, and then back to downtown Chicago to go see the Blue Man Group. We had a fun time there at Briar Street Theater and the show was very entertaining. At the end of the show they had everyone pass tons of streamers from the back of the theater to the front and through all of the paper I briefly lost my engagement ring. Luckily a girl found it who was sitting right behind me! I thanked her a million times and thanked God for letting us get the ring back. After wards the Blue Men we out in the lobby and we were able to take pictures with them! What an enjoyable night!

Joe and I can't believe that we have a 15 month old on our hands! Cameron girl is growing so fast and becoming such a sweet little person. She is very loving to us and is willing to go to our neighbors at any point and time. Cameron loves playing outside, going for walks, and playing with her friend Connor. She is still into books and will willing sit with them by herself or brings them to me for me to read to her. Cameron lights up when Joe gets home from work and will sign/ask for Daddy often through out the day. Cameron has become more attached to her blanket everyday. Cameron will rarely get out of her crib these days without clinging to her blanket. She doesn't need to take it with her when going places, she just likes having it with her right after a wake up time be it in the morning or after naps. At Cameron's doctor appointment she only weights 17 lbs, she only gained 8 oz in three months. The doctor wanted to do a urine sample to check for urinary track infection ...
