no baby yet

Don't have  tons of time to post right now...

but after a very frustrating weekend, we still have no baby and Dr. says he would give me at least another week.  However, with my track record (Kamryn) he could come this week...no way to know!  But this last weekend was just a lot of false labor...frustrating but it is what it is.

(I think I'm frustrated mostly because with Kamryn I never experienced a bunch of false labor.  In fact, really not any!  She just came!)  :)


Anyway, just thought I'd update everyone...I'm going to spend the week trying not to think about it too much.  He'll come when he comes and that is good for me.  Heavenly Father is in charge and will help my body do what it needs to do in the time it needs to happen!

Thanks for your support and love! I feel it. :)

38th week of pregnancy (March 30-April 6)

My mom threw me a "mini-shower" for me.  Some of my aunts and cousins and my Grandma and sisters and moms went out to eat at Red Lobster. It was very yummy and very fun!  I got a little spoiled--I love all the gifts!  (Thank you, thank you, thank you!) :)

Then last night I started feeling contractions around 5:30.  I walked up and down our hallway a few times to help them stay.  Then we decided to go to Maceys (grocery store just down the street) and walk around there.  (wear me out AND wear Kamryn out before bedtime!) :)  At about 7:30 we decided to go up to my parents to put Kamryn down there for bed, just in case we had to go to the hospital.  While we were there, we decided to play cards. (Fools Bridge--Grandma's favorite game!)  I stood up and walked around a lot of the time to keep contractions going. 

After a few hours, contractions were 2 minutes apart and I was having to breathe heavy.  So, around midnight we went down to the hospital.  The nurse walked into our room after I changed and I recognized her!  She was the same nurse that helped me when I was in labor with Kamryn almost 2 years ago!!  How funny is that?!! :)

She hooked me up to a couple of monitors and checked me.  I was dilated 3 cm and 70% effaced.  They can't actually admit me to the hospital unless I'm at least 4 cm, so they let me sit and contract for an hour and came back to check.  No progress.  So...she let me sit another hour--I was soooo tired and I was dying!  Contractions were really strong... yet an hour later when the nurse checked, I still was in the same place!  I was SO frustrated!!  Ana (the nurse) said our only option really was for me to get a shot of morphine to help me relax and sleep, but it won't stop contractions if this is real labor.  I agreed to get the shot and I went home and crashed!  4:00am till about 9:30am I was out like a light.  Then throughout conference sessions today, I couldn't really stay awake!  The drugs were still affecting me.  I couldn't think straight...I was dizzy...could barely walk!  Finally at about 7:00 tonight I was feeling better---and now it is 8:00 and I'm finally starting to feel contractions again!  Hopefully I'll be able to go back and be admitted to the hospital tonight!  Cross your fingers and say a little prayer!  We'll keep you updated---facebook, texting and hopefully blogging.  We'll see! :)

I think she's ready for a baby...what do you think?! :)

37 weeks=Full Term

I went to the Doctor yesterday and because it was my 37 week appointment, I requested that he do a pelvic exam. I needed to know if the contractions I've been feeling the past week were really doing something yet or not. (ease my mind either way!) :) Well, he checked, and said I'm already dilated a little over 1 cm and am effacing as well! Yay!! So, I'll go in next week for my 38 week appointment, and then he said that if I WANTED to I can set up a time on the 13th, 14th, or 15th to be started---if the baby hasn't just come by then anyway.

I'm thrilled! :) I'm not afraid of inducing because I'm all for an epidural and pain killers! AND inducing when you are ready (just need a jump start) is a whole different thing than inducing when you haven't even started dilating or effacing yet. (although...Kamryn came earlier on her own...I'm kinda expecting I won't even have the chance to choose to be induced or not) :)

SO--I was looking back at what happened at this time with Kamryn. And according to my journal entries:
37 weeks-I was 1.5 cm dilated and he was talking about inducing a week early if she hadn't come by then. (sound familiar?!!) :)
38 weeks-I was 4 cm --Kamryn was posterior however so labor hadn't actually begun yet. Dr. Judd tried to turn her, but was unsuccessful. However, it helped to start contractions and I had her 2 days later.

Interesting how this little guy is kinda in the same predicament! However, as far as I know, he is facing the correct way so he could potentially start my body into labor even earlier! :) Hmm...baby this weekend.... ??? :) We'll see! :)

FridayFunny--Kamryn Dancing

We were at Grandma and Grandpa's last week---Kamryn was a hoot! :) (sorry I didn't get this posted on Friday!!) :)

She's finally here!

Juniper KyLee Nielsen was born on March 25 2010 at 12:56 am.

Mom (my cousin) and baby are doing well!  Parents are SO excited she is finally here! 

(Due date was the 23rd. Mom was induced on the night of the 23rd--

--ended up having a c-section on the 25th!)

Can't wait to see the sweet thing in person! 

Love you, Kyle and Adrienne!

Elder Seamons is going on a mission!

Ryan's Brother, Eric, got his mission call on Tuesday.  He has been called to serve a 24-month mission in Fort Lauderdale, Florida speaking Haitian Creole.  He is very excited and we are all excited and proud of him.  He reports to the MTC on June 23, 2010.  Congratulations Elder Seamons!

We all got together at the Provo Temple to watch him open his call.  I have a video of him opening it, but can't post it right now because of the internet connection. (blah!)  BUT I don't even have a picture of him reading it or opening it...how sad is that?!! Just video that I can't do anything with!  (Do you have one Linda that I can include in this post?!?!) :)

It was pretty windy---Kamryn all bundled up while Eric was opening his call.

Afterwards, we went to Mimi's Cafe to celebrate.

Eric called a bunch of friends, family and ward members throughout dinner!  I'm sure everyone around us knew exactly where he was going and what he was speaking by the time they left the restaurant! :)
He was so anxious to know more about the language!  I have no doubt he will be an excellent missionary!
It was a wonderful night and we are so excited to see him get ready to serve the Lord for the next 2 years!
