Hello everyone...tomorrow is going to be a big day in the Schaeuble Family. I am getting induced tomorrow morning at 7:00am. I have been so full of mixed emotions today. I hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow morning, and we will be able to meet our little angel. Her name we have picked out is: Khloe Violet Schaeuble. I know I have said this before, but I know I have made the right choice even if I only get to hold my little girl for a few moments. She has made an impact on this world even before she is born. I look forward to sharing the news of her birth with all of you tomorrow. I better get some sleep...since 7:00am will be here before I know it!!!!

Hugs,
Sandy

Doctor Appointment

Hello again...I just realized today it's Friday September 10, 2010...one day before September 11th. I had a routine weekly doctor appointment this morning, and today I am dialated to 2. With my first child I dialated early, so I am hoping that I do not go too early. I still have been working 4 hours per day and coming home to put my feet up the rest of the day. I have a hard time sitting still and this is forcing me to stay home so it's a good thing for me. Today the doctor decided to do a scheduled induction for me if I make it that far...Wednesday October 13, 2010 is the day on paper now, but for some reason I don't know if I will make it another full month.
I just wanted to say Thank You to everyone who has supported Kurtis and I throughout this entire journey. It is really starting to set in...it's almost time!!!! I will keep you updated.

Hugs,
Sandy

Hello everyone...it's been a while since my last post to this blog. A lot has happened in the past two weeks. My blood pressure has gotten higher so my doctor has restricted me to working 4 hours per day. It is a very strange feeling to work a half day when I am used to working 50 hours plus per week. My feet and ankles are very swollen, but at least with this pregnancy they didn't turn into true kankles until this week. Now I don't know if I will see my ankles until after the baby is born. Last week we had a healthcare conference with my doctor, the neonatologist, nurses and the nurse supervisors in the birth ward. That appointment has made everything turn very real. I am starting to notice my stress level may not always show on my face, but my body is having a hard time keeping up so it's a good thing I am slowing down and not burying myself in my work anymore.
This week both of the ladies who have been pregnant along side of me at work had their babies. They both had baby boys, and I am so happy for them!!! Yesterday I realized I am the only one that I know of left at work who is still pregnant...I started to get emotional at work realizing that it's almost time for us to see our little girl. Last week her heartbeat was strong, and she has been moving constantly so I know she is a fighter! I have another doctor appointment this morning. He will check and see if I am dialated today. I am a little nervous, but remaining strong for myself and the baby. I will update everyone again after my appointment this morning.
