Anna Kate is here

Anna Kate Goodrich arrived friday September 21, 2007 at 9:26 pm. She was 7 pounds 11 ounces and 21 inches. She was 3 weeks early, her due date was not until 10/11/07, but she decided to join us early. She spent 3 nights in NICU - because she had irregular breathing, due to her being early they think, but she is doing better now. I got to come home on monday and she came home tuesday afternoon -

Update on Anna Kate's Arrival

We went back to the dr on friday - and I had dilated to 3cm - the Dr. said he would be surprised if he did not see us this weekend - but IF he didn't he would see me monday to see if there were anymore changes...but he felt certain she would be here within the week -

That all sounds really promising, BUT - so far I have felt nothing more than uncomfortable - I feel contractions but they are not regular so needless to say I am VERY anxious.

If nothing happens tonight - then I will repost tomorrow with the latest from the Dr.

Meanwhile - say your prayers that everything will go ok and that the Lord will teach me patience......

Fun Times with Daddy

Here are a few pictures of the kids golf tournament at Brannons course and pictures of Daddy taking Ava fishing for the first time -

WAR EAGLE

Here are some pictures of Ava from the first ballgames - she looks so cute in her little cheerleading outfits - to bad the team looks terrible :(

Happy 2nd Birthday Ava

Brannon uploaded the pictures onto the computer so here are the pictures from Ava's birthday party - she turned 2 on 8/31/05 and we had her party on 9/1

LOTS OF CHANGES

Well - its been a while since my last post - lots has happened - we FINALLY decided on a name for the baby - Anna Kate Goodrich - and we will call her Anna Kate - I am very excited about that :)

Ava had her 2nd birthday party last weekend - its hard to believe she is already 2. It seems just like yesterday she was so small now she is really a "big girl". I will post pictures of her birthday party as soon as Brannon loads them onto the computer - I still dont know how to do that.

I had drs appt today - and I got to have another sonogram... I will be 36 weeks on Thursday and they are supposed to induce on 9/30 so she will be born on 10/1/07 - if i dont go earlier on my own. Today I had already dilated to 2 cm - so we will see if she comes early or not -

According to the measurements they took during the sonogram she is already 6 lbs 11 oz - thats almost as big as Ava was at 39 wks when she was born..... she was an even 7 lbs. So if you go by the standard of the baby gaining 1/2 lb a week - if i make it to 10/1 she will be somewhere around 8.5 pounds....... they say she has hair - dont know how much but the lady showed it to me on the screen - so we will see -

I will post pictures as soon as i can -
Hope everyone is doing well -
