Leaving the Hospital

Hallie & our Midwife, Natalie Rockwell. What a team!
















Looks like we're all loaded up and ready for the car!

















It's hard deciding which of the new Grandparents get to hold me!
















After all this excitement, I think I'll take a little snooze...

Hospital Photo

Here's the link to the hopital website photo of beautiful baby Evvie! It wasn't posted as of 3:30 on Friday, but I am told it will be posted tonight:

Midcoast Hospital Beautiful Babies

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!

Ladies & Gentlemen!
Introducing Evelyn Mae Prince!

Born 7pm November 3, 2005.
6 lbs 15.8 oz (Let's just call her 7 Lbs.)
20" long
Beautiful as can be.

Where did you leave it?

Hallie lost her mucuous plug. Just up and lost it the other night. "Where did you leave it?" I keep asking her.
Honestly.

There's lots of other news, too. We had another biophyysical profile on Tuesday morning. Hallie munched a few Skittles in the waiting room to get that baby movin' and WHOOO DOGGIES! The sugar rush had the baby doing heaadspins and waving her arms all around. It was fun to watch. All the measurements seemed good, but we found that the amniotic fluid volume had dropped. We were sure to point this out to Natalie a few moments later when we saw her.

Of course the nurses alreay knew that things were changing & moving along for Hallie because of the flakes of blood in her urine. Everybody was excited and asked Hallie if she was feeling any contractions. She wasn't. Her cervix is 1cm dilated and about 50% effaced. These are all great signs that things are moving along, and with any luck we won't have to induce her- although they are finding protein in her urine, so her PIH is still a problem. It's too bad she can't walk around and let gravity help this baby out.

So we're still waiting- she's at 38 weeks & it's not going to be long now!

AG Shower for Jay!

On Halloween the wonderful folks at Associated Grocers of Maine threw a great shower & luncheon for Hallie & I. Since Hallie was at home on bedrest, I had the honors of being in the spotlight.

Many thanks to all the kind gifts and donations. We've certainly got a leg up now on getting this new child off to a great start!

What could this be?



That takes the cake!



I know momma's going to love this color!



Lunch was, of course, amazing!
