1 day old!!

Bree is doing very good. She was having a little trouble bottle feeding, but has started to master the task!!! Today she passed her hearing test and had her pictures taken for the hospital website (I have to say she is quite the model). We get to go home tomorrow, which we are looking forward too. I am doing good, pretty sore at times, but when you look at Bree the pain seems to subside and you realize what a gift she is!!!

Bree's Visitors

Baby Pictures

We have more pictures but I narrowed them down to a few to get them updated.

Welcome to the world Bree Alexandra Schafer

At 12:56 a.m on 2-22-09, Bree made her entre to the world. She weighed 7 lbs 15.7 oz and measured 21.5" long. What was a long wait from when this process started, it was well worth the wait. Pictures are coming later today, we plan to get some rest as it will be needed in the time to come.

We are in labor!

Got to the hospital around midnight last night after the water broke at 10:30pm. Was a long night with little progress. Got the epidural at 4 cm, and will update again once the baby is here.
Boy/Girl we are getting closer to finding out!

The Due Date has come and gone!!!

Well this baby is picking the perfect day to make it arrival I guess. It has been nice to have time at home to get some last minute things done Monday I shampooed my living room and made homemade chicken and noodles, yesterday I cleaned out the fridge, who knows what I will find to do today. I go back to the Dr. tomorrow and see the nurse practitioner and hopefully I will have progressed a little. We will keep you all updated!!!

Pregnancy Update

Well we had a Dr. appointment today, so I thought we would update you. Last week I was 1cm and 50% effaced with the baby's head being very low!! So I thought okay we will go today and surely be 2, 3, or maybe even more, but nope I had made no progress! Oh well the baby will come when it wants to, I don't want to be induced so who knows how much longer I will be a pregnant lady. I also found out that my Dr. takes a golfing trip each year with some friends and that happens to be next week. He stated that first time moms can go from two weeks early to two weeks late and that there is a good chance he will be back to deliver the baby, though the other Dr. in the office is a very nice lady and we wouldn't have a problem with her delivering the baby. Good news is that tomorrow is my last day of work for 10 weeks, which can not come any sooner looking at the size of my ankles!!!
