Amelia also endured her first bath. I still don't know if she knows what exactly to think about it.

As promised...
I have now been out to the cemetery so here are the pics of Adalyn's headstone. I love it, it is sooooo pretty.
She is Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amelia Jean Woolstenhulme was born May 12th, 2010 weighing in at 7 pounds 5 ounces and measuring 19 and 1/2 inches.
It was a long day for us while we waited for her to get here. We checked into the hospital at 4:30 am and after a few scares and a prep for an emergency c-section I was able to deliver her on the operating table naturally. (big relief.)
We already love this little girl so much and the funny things she does. We can't decided who she looks like more, mostly I see Josh but than I can see me too. She laughs in her sleep, so adorable, scratches her throat like her mama (don't ask why I do that I get it from my dad). She had her first check up today and she has gained 6 oz., the doctor says it usually takes 2 weeks for a baby to get back to their birth weight so she is very healthy. Hopefully it means I will have a chunky baby, love little chunky babies (who doesn't!!)
On a side note Adalyn's headstone is up and I am going to go over to the cemetery later today and will take some pictures to post.

Ya shouldn't of said that.....
On Friday I had a NST as usual. Everything went great and my doctor came in to the hospital before I left to check on me. I had been having some contractions and he decided to throw out there that he was on call all weekend and really wouldn't be surprised to see me come in this weekend in labor. Now why do you say that to a anxious pregnant woman? Really?
After having mild contractions all day Saturday I had some other problems come up Saturday night. So Josh and I headed to the hospital. Everything I thought was wrong turned out to be okay but the baby's heartrate was far too high and wasn't coming down. So my doctor decided I better stay overnight. Because I was having contractions I was checked to see if I was dialated. Sure enough I was! Only to a 2, but for being 2 and 1/2 weeks away from my actual due date that wasn't too bad. After 3 hours the baby's heart rate finally calmed down to her normal baseline, what a relief. All night the nurses kept telling me that the doctor would probably just decide to induce me in the morning and get my labor really going along. Especially considering that I was contracting and dialating. Well as you probably guessed he didn't induce and I am still very pregnant, very hormonal, and very ready to have this baby!
I know it is all about being safe, but it was one long night of watching monitors and seeing all these different things not being good (not to mention the contractions) I really thought we would be having a baby. Such a bummer.

Setting the date.
I decided I should blog mainly because it feels like the appropriate thing to do! I have had a pretty good last few days. I have no energy but I still feel like getting things done. This is probably in connection with the baby being scheduled to be born next Wednesday, May 12th. I am so ecstatic. Only a week left!!! I am excited to hold her and all that comes with that but my biggest relief is to be done with pregnancy. It has been extremely hard on me and my body is about one thread away from unraveling completely. The newest symptom I have developed is intense insomnia. Some nights I am only getting an hour or two of sleep others I am not sleeping at all. Like last weekend, the night before my baby shower in Pocatello, I was awake the entire night. Finally around 10 am on Saturday I slept until 12 pm. That was such a relief!! Especially since I needed to find some energy for all my friends and family that I was about to see. The shower turned out really great and I am so grateful I have family that love me enough to throw me one.
I think I am all ready for this baby to come. Josh and I found a place to move into and we can start moving in next week. We are both excited to get back into a space of our own (and if you have a couch or two we could borrow until I get my new ones the beginning of June that would be super). Josh sanded down a dresser we were given that was pretty beat up and today we have been painting it for the baby's room. I figure I will have everything ready to go so that while I am in the hospital next week all our loving family and friends can transfer our stuff from my mom's (and our storage bay) to our new digs. I will post pics of the dresser when I get it all done!!
