Introducing: Katelyn Ann Silverman
Katelyn Ann Silverman was born this morning at 7:33am.
She weighs 7lbs, 14ozs and is 20.5 inches long.
We went to our weekly OB meeting yesterday at 4pm. When they checked for dilation, I was already at 6cm and felt nothing. Therefore, they sent us right to MJH for monitoring. They broke my water at 11:30pm and I didn't feel anything uncomfortable until 4:30ish. I had two separate doses of fentanyl when contractions were uncomfortable and I was getting agitated, but they wore off very quickly and long before the birth. She came very quickly once I dilated to 10cm. Working 6:30am - 2:30pm yesterday has certainly left me exhausted, but seemed to help with keeping me from being stiff. Everything about this has been a surprise, but we are all happy healthy and safe! Will post more pictures and a longer birth story sometime in the near future, but for now we're busy enjoying our new little one. Thanks for all the well wishes! :)
Week 37 Update
I had written this & had it saved as a draft while going to my OB appointment to see how much I weighed. Thought I would just go ahead & post it since I've already filled it out!
Weekly Update:
How far along?: 37 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 20 pound gain
Maternity Clothes?: Pants - Absolutely, Shirts - again, absolutely.
Stretch Marks?: More than I can count, but at least I haven't found any new ones in a while.
Sleep: Much better than a few weeks ago. Maybe I won't be exhausted when its time for the baby to arrive!
Best moment this week: Finishing up all the thank you notes & sending them out.
Movement: Slowing down. I guess there isn't as much room to swim around in there!
Food cravings: Cocoa Pebbles
Gender: GIRL!!
Labor Signs: none yet
Belly Button in or out?: Normally out or just gone all together.
What I miss: Being able to sit up in bed without feeling in pain.
What I am looking forward to: Actually having the baby.
Weekly Wisdom: For some reason everything for the baby takes batteries. Nothing really plugs in. Buy lots and lots of batteries for all the new things you'll need for a baby.
Milestones: We're officially full term! She can be born any day without concern. Its a good feeling :)

Weekly Update:
How far along?: 36 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 14.5ish - I'll be weighed again on Monday
Maternity Clothes?: Pants - Absolutely, Shirts - again, absolutely.
Stretch Marks?: A ton :(
Sleep: Getting better - I only wake up once or twice to use the bathroom, but don't have trouble falling back asleep.
Best moment this week: Putting together the baby stuff & organizing her room.
Movement: Slowing down some, but she still moves a lot.
Food cravings: HotCakes Foccacia Bread

What I miss: Being able to bend and reach things easily.

Weekly Wisdom: Hearing people's birth stories when you're pregnant can be scary. Don't listen to them. Everyone is different.
Milestones: Our house finally looks like the baby is coming soon. We have things unpacked, set up, and ready to go. I'm feeling more prepared each day!
