Collin Brady Montgomery

The wait is finally over! We now have a beautiful baby boy, Collin Brady Montgomery. He was born on December 20, at 6:41 AM; 7 lbs. 7 oz., 21 1/4 inches.

UB Update

Yesterday, the doctor's office called and scheduled me to go to the hospital tonight (Thursday) at 9pm and get started on a low dose of the pictosin. Then in the morning, they would kick the dose up higher and hopefully we would have a baby. While I'm looking forward to having the baby, I wasn't particularly looking forward to spending the night in the hospital with an IV attached and being poked and prodded and checked all night long. Well, plans have changed slightly.

This morning the office called again and said that I am to come in tonight at 6:30. At that point, they will put in a tablet of sorts that's supposed to do the same thing as the overnight Pictosin. At that point, I'll be sent home with a time in the morning to come back (unless, of course, things start happening earlier than morning). I must say that I like the sounds of this plan better, because I would much rather sleep in my own bed than in the hospital.

In the meantime, I'm enjoying my last day of work for 6 weeks!! I hope you're enjoying your day as well!!

I'll post again when there's more news to tell.

UB News

UB news in short? There is no news. So far, there's been no action. UB is officially 3 days late, but I'm not too bothered by it yet. I've always told myself that this baby wasn't coming until Christmas so I wasn't super disappointed to see the 13th come and go with no baby. I would definitely not complain if things started happening at any moment, though. It's the only time in my life that I've actually hoped to not feel fine and to feel some pain. I go to the doctor this afternoon, so hopefully we'll hear that at least some progress is being made. They said at my appointment last Monday that they don't typically let people go more than 5 or 6 days past their due date before inducing, so 5 or 6 days would put us at Thursday or Friday. So, regardless, we're planning on having this baby this week. However, as my mom pointed out to me, when she was pregnant with me they tried to induce 3 times and I just wouldn't budge until I was good and ready to come out.

I promise that when there's real news to tell, I'll post (or Matt will) as soon as I can. Speaking of which, I will probably send out a mass text at least to family when there is news to share. Let me know if you want to be included in that. If you're not sure I have your phone number, send that to me also.

In the meantime, I appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

Have a great day!!!
