GEORGIA BLAIR NIXON

7lbs-6oz of absolute beauty

HERE IN THE HOSPITAL AGAIN!

We checked into the hospital around 7:00 pm. Seems like this is it.....all we lack is finishing. We will continue to keep you posted. Carrie and baby are doing well.

Maternity Portraits

I have come to refer to my mom and Jodie as the Bedrest Nazis because everytime I try to cheat, they don't let me get away with it, at least not for very long. But this morning, they did let me make the trip to Portrait Innovations to sneak in a portrait session before baby shows up. They turned out really good and I am so happy we were able to fit them in before my belly goes away for the last time (at least it will be the last time if I have anything to do with it). By the way, for those who didn't know yet, her name will be Georgia, after my dad George Thomas Trimble, Jr. Her middle name is TBD. We also got Sam's 3 year old portraits done while we were there, so make sure to check out her site too.

Whoo Hoo! No More Drugs!

We had another doctor's visit this morning and all is still the same. No More dilation! So, in light of that and the fact that they were going to let me quit taking it Moday anyway, they went ahead and took me off of the contraction stopping drug. Yeah! No more 3:00 AM alarm clocks!! And hopefully the reflux that I have had will at least get a little better (a side effect of both pregnancy and the Procardia). So, Mom is on her way back this afternoon just in case. We want to make sure that we are prepared with the low pressure of the hurricane heading our way. Who knows, we may have a baby soon!!! The doc we saw today said that she thinks we have a pretty good sized munchkin in there, though she didn't guess at her weight. Can't wait to meet her!

The Momma Switch

Well, my mom headed home today and Jodie's mom joined the party. Sam was super excited to see and play with her Memom, so I think the next few days will be pretty good for her too. She's really getting the better end of this deal. So are the grandmothers, because she wants them to do everything and is not a bit interested in me. So we have been lucky so far. Of course I miss being her one and only, but I would much rather have it this way than for her to be needing me when I can't give her a whole lot. So, we are still here, still pregnant, and still resting.

This week at the doc's

Hello all. Just got home form my doctor's visit and there has been no change! Yeah! The past couple of days really have not been as bad as I was expecting them to be. My mom has been taking extra good care of us and making sure that I am following the rules. So far so good. There was no change in dilation this morning, so we are staying the course for the next two weeks. The doc I saw today says that I can quit taking the meds AND get off bedrest at 36 weeks, which is 2 weeks from yesterday and just happens to be Sam's birthday. So, there you have it. We're doing well, behaving ourselves and hanging in there.

Still Here!

We made it through the night without a single contraction, so we're still at home. That's a good thing because one of the nurses told us that the 3rd time is the charm and that the docs probably wouldn't let me go home again until we have a baby. So, we're here, resting at home. My mom is still here and handling Sam, which Sam absolutely loves. She will leave Thursday AM and Jodie's mom joins us for the weekend. More party time for Sam! She's really benefitting from all of this. So, anyway, I will post more when I can.
