A healthy baby boy has arrived! Sara and baby are both doing well.
Colin Matthew

21 inches long

2/2/08
All I have been told is he has hair, but less than Addi did, it is lighter than her's was, and has some highlights in it. I was also told by Matt that Sara pushed 4 times, Sara's version was she pushed for 4 minutes, so either way it went really fast! I will post pics. as soon as I get my hands on some. -Megan
Congratulations to the Pitzer family of 4!!

Update of the day...
Ok. I had a biophysical profile done this am (basically, a non-stress test and an ultra sound) and passed with flying colors! There is plenty of fluid around the baby and he/she is moving and breathing as it should. I had to turn from the ultra sound screen as the baby was "flashing" us (once again). Hmm...think'in a boy...
As of right now, there are 8 beds open, which means that (unless all women in St. Augustine go into labor tonight) they should have a bed available for our midnight induction. :)
If all goes well, you should hear from us at some point tomorrow!

latest update
Ok, so I called OB this morning. They are going to call me back at noon to fill me in on what their day looks like. (Which really means nothing. They could have 3 patients discharged at noon and 6 women come in in labor after that - which means I get the boot again.)
I have no idea when they'll get me in for induction!!
Two things I do know, my Dr. won't induce me during the day and wants me there thru the night shift first (to help ripen my cervix) AND chances are good that I won't be able to get a bed tonight at midnight either.
I do not consider myself "emotionally sensitive" or mentally much different during pregnancy, but today I may loose it. (So, pray that I don't...)
Once again, I'll keep you posted and let you all know when the little one arrives! :)

Change of plans...
I went in for my Non-stress Test this morning and before I left I was forewarned that they may not have a bed available for me tonight for my midnight induction.
Sure enough - they just called and cancelled my appt. I have to call them at 8am tomorrow for the earliest time I can be admitted.
Let's hope for early. Like noon. I'd still like to have a baby sometime tomorrow!!!

The end is near...
Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I talked my Dr. into scheduling my induction. I couldn't be happier! (Well, maybe if I went into labor on my own.)
Anyways, if I do not go into labor on my own by tomorrow Matt and I will be admitted and induced at midnight. They will place a drug directly on my cervix for 8 hours to help it dilate further and hope I go into labor on my own. If that doesn't help me to progress, they will begin the Pitocin IV at 8am. (This is the exact same process we went thru w/ Addi.)
Which means that with any luck - we should have a baby by dinner time on Thursday!
Please pray for a good induction, a safe delivery and a healthy baby!
We'll let you know as soon as the little one arrives!

39 Weeks...and counting
Yes, I'm still hanging in there. Not too thrilled about it. But, trying to be patient and enjoy what time I have left w/ Addison as my only child.
I had a Dr. appt. today. Nothing too exciting. I gained a pound. My cervix is still closed. (Which means I am not a good candidate for induction.) I requested a non-stress test to be done today (for my peace of mind) to be sure that the baby is fine and not under any stress still being in utero. The test showed the baby was doing great.
I have another Dr. appt. and non-stress test scheduled for Monday afternoon.
Pray that we have a baby before then!

No News...
Many of you are wondering how I am this week. Well...I am good (unfortunately). I wish I could say that I feel this baby is on it's way, but I can't.
I had my weekly visit to the Dr. this morning. I left with no weight gain (yippee!), the baby measuring 40 weeks and a "your cervix is still closed and thick, so we'll see ya next week." I was really hoping for more interesting news.
So, it's back to the home remedies and wives tales for me (spicy food, baths, wine/beer, _ _ x, raspberry tea, bouncing on the birthing ball, pressure points, etc.).
I'll try to write one final post on my way out the door to the hospital to let you know when the baby's on it's way - no guarantees. Until then... Take Care!
