Hannah Lynn Olthoff
She was finally born!! haha I went to the hospital on monday night think I was going to be induced that night. The hospital was understaffed and wasnt able to induce me until morning because I needed a nurse with me in my room at all times. So Tuesday morning I was induced with an IV... so basically I had to lay in bed alllll day hooked up to monitors... I didnt have any contractions until about lunch time... and then about 3-4pm they got pretty bad..throughout that whole time... (from going to the hospital monday night until tuesday night at 7pm) I had dilated 3cm. SO i had to have a C Section.. Hannah was born at 11:17pm on December 19, 06. She weighed 8lbs and 1/2 an ounce, and was 20 inches long! She has greyish-blue eyes and dark brown hair! here are some pictures of her in the first 3 days!

come on baby!
Well the doctor said that the earliest she can induce me is on the 28th of Dec... one week after my due date...I feel like I sound like a broken record.. I just want her to come!!!!! haha I want to see her, and hold her.. ! I am scared shitless about having her come home with us.. but I rather that then sitting here.. wondering when she will come.. and being SOOOO uncomfortable!! Every time I feel any sort of pain or cramp, I just hope its labour starting.. I have been feeling things more often.. but its not becoming any stronger.. so its probably just false labour, or braxton hicks contractions.. which sucks!! I want the real deal.. I dont care if they hurt.. just COME!!!
I have got to try and keep myself busy.. I think i am losing it!! I am going to try and get off my ass today and make some christmas cookies.. the dough is all ready in the fridge.. so i just have to roll and cut them out! I also need to get the christmas presents downstairs... our tree looks bare without presents under it! I will try and get on that today too.. haha I feel so lazy today.. I dont know why!

39 weeks!!!
I still havent had this baby!! I thought she was going to be early.. I mean, she still has a week to be early.. haha but its not looking good!
I went and saw my doctor the day after I did last week.. she said that she wouldnt induce me, and if the baby is too big to fit, then we do a C section.. wonderful.. :S She has really been pissing me off lately.
Tuesday I was freaked out because I was leaking fluid, so we went to the hospital to get it checked out... I had to wait around for 4 hours, to find out that it wasnt amniotic fluid, and that I had to go home.. and not have my baby that day! UGh!
I have a doctors appointment today... I have no idea how that is going to go.. I just dont want to walk out of there feeling like I didnt get to talk to her or ask her questions. She is very rushy rushy!
I cant take pictures because the camera
is packed in my hospital bag, which is in
mikes car! I do have a picture of our cute
little village I can post on here!

BIG BABY! AH!
I went to the doctor yesterday..and aparently I am going to have a freakin 10lb baby! OMG!
After talking to some people about it, I am going to try and make an appointment to see my doctor again, on Monday... to ask her if she will induce me now, so I dont have to deliver a 10lber. I want to have her naturally and if she is that big.. it might just have to be a C section.. which i reallllllllly dont want! I was like in shock when she told me the size she thinks the baby will be, and I wasnt able to actually ask her questions right then..she was all rushy and trying to get out of the room.. (which pisses me off, but whatever)
I am getting so excited! I cant believe that I am due in less then 2 weeks!! And hopefully will have her in less then one. haha:)
I cant wait to see what she looks like.. and how much hair she will have, and all that!! It would be so good if she comes before Christmas! I am really excited about that.. I dont think I could handle waiting much longer after the due date for her.. I am already getting so impatient!
Well if i dont post in a while, then hopefully that means that I have had her! HAHA :):)
