Any more pregnancy updates today?

[Rayna']

It makes me feel so good and gives me hope when I read about your pregnancies. I would love you hear your updates. How far along is everyone now?:p

[Brooke]

Rayna,

Thanks for posting this question. I was wondering the same thing the other day. I'm done being pregnant but still like to keep up to date with all the other mom's that I was pregnant with. I hope that they all update us soon.

Love,

Thanks so much for asking...we (Mason and I) are doing well. I had my 26 week us yesterday and have my doctors visit today. In fact I need to go shower and head to that. I have my glucose screening. I'm so looking forward to drinkin that stuff in an hour! :) LOL not really!

The us went very well and little Mason is now exactly 2 lbs and growing well. They did a 3D ultrasound and boy is that amazing (HE IS SO CUTE!)

I'm feeling good and my energy is increasing. I'm still hopeful and prayerful all will be well.

Thanks for all your support and prayers!

How exciting is it to feel your baby??? That was always my favorite part of pregnancy. I remember feeling sad after Leah was born that I would never feel that again (we decided that four little chickies was full house for us - however ------ God has the final say lol) Keep us posted Lindzy :)

[Tricia Hackney]

Looks like baby is right on track - 2 lbs already? How cool is that?? Were you able to see his eyelashes in your 3D? It's amazing how much a baby really looks like their 3D when they get here lol - Keep us posted Linda!

[Brooke]

Hi Linda and Lindzy,

So glad to hear that both of you and your little ones are doing well and growing well too. Lindzy & Linda, I completely understand what you are feeling and wishing your pregnancy days away so that you can just hold the healthy newborn in your arms and know that everything is alright. I felt the same way, and now my newest little one is already 4 1/2 months old and 18 lbs and eating baby cereal already. Oh, how I wish I could go back and feel him move about inside me one more time. We're done having kids also Tricia and can relate to the sadness feeling you experience when you know that you will never be able to feel that movement inside you ever again. I'll pray that things continue to go well for both of you and all the other mom's expecting healthy babies in the coming months. Take care.

Love,

Brooke-Mommy to Carter-4, Ethan-2 1/2, Caden- 4 1/2 months, &

It has been a long time since I have logged in...but I am happy to report our exciting news!

Our son, Chayce Cristopher Fern-Denzer, was born on January 4, 2008 at 2:27 pm at United Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota. The delivery was textbook and everything went what I would call "prefect." By perfect, I mean, no complications and no surprises. I was 38 weeks along and they induced me since I was at 3 centimeters and was having inconsistent contractions for about 4 weeks and they agreed that it was time.

Chayce was 8 lbs. 7ozs and 20.75 inches long. He is 100% healthy and sooooo..cute! It's been a rollercoaster of emotions, but the family is adjusting well to our new member. Chayce has features of both of our sons, Isaiah and Ethan...

Chayce is now officially one month old and doing extremely well. We are blessed with another happy, healthy baby and once again reassured that miracles do happen.

Heather Lombardo, our NILMDTS photographer of Isaiah, came out to take pictures of Chayce...I've attached a couple.

Sending all my best to the other families...

Lindzy...I miss those kicks! Please keep us posted on your us. I hope this month passes quickly for you!

Linda...I love the name Mason! I am glad you are feeling good. Hopefully that will continue the rest of your pregnancy.

Brooke...I can't believe your boy is almost 5 months. Wow! Got any updated pics to share?

Tina...your baby boy is precious! Thank you so much ladies for sharing. Brings a smile to my face!

[Lindzy Foster]

Oh my gosh Tina, Chayce is gorgeous, congrats on the good delivery and healthy baby boy! where did you get that cute brown outfit with the ears? i love it!

[linda]

Tina, Chyce is a doll baby and does look like both his big brothers. You must be so proud!! :)

Brooke, I would love to see updated pictures of your little man! :)

My doctors visit went well but they did tell me at 30 weeks I'll be in for weekly visits and two Non Stress Test for a wopin' 3 days a week visits! Holly cow who has time for that? I made most of the appointments for the end of the day but jeez ~ I guess it will be worth it if we all know things are going ok. Thanks for all your support!

[Brooke]

Hi Gals,

I do have updated pictures of Caden and my other boys, but don't know how to attatch them to my posts. I'll have to learn how to do this very soon, but for now I do have a website and password that you all can view them at. They should be available to look at for little while longer. The website is www.stcroixstudio.com Click on Proofs and then in the box type: brooke5759. Then 35 poses of my boys will pop up for viewing. These are Caden's 3 month pictures taken on December 29, 2007, so he is even bigger than when those pictures were taken but not by much. I hope you enjoy looking at them. I'll have to have Tina show me how to attach pictures. Glad to hear from everyone. Take care.

Linda, I passed along the book you had sent me, We were suposed to have a baby but we had an angel instead to a family that just lost a daughter with Trisomy 18 at 36 weeks pregnant. This family has 8 other children to comfort so thought it would be appropriate for them to read this book. Thanks again for sending it to Carter, Ethan and me.

Love,

Brooke-Mommy to Carter-5, Ethan-2 1/2, Caden- 4 1/2 months, &

Brooke,
Those photos are adorable. The one of the 3 boys is really amusing to me. It looks like Caden is being forced to sit there. It was probably more like, "Carter, Ethan get ready," then you put Caden in there to try to get a shot! Thanks for sharing.

[Kerry]

Brooke thanks for sharing I love seeing the pictures! I have a book of my three kids each year with professional pictures I just love it. Today was heartbreaking I had worked for a studio for 13 years and my job will end at the end of month. I love seeing other people's work each photographer is so different.

Brooke what a doll baby! I love the one that ended in 07 that face is priceless!

So glad to hear the book has found its way into another families home. I will be praying for them as they find hope and healing...

[Lyssa Sauer]

Hello I am so glad to here everyone is doing good with no complications. Well I am now 35 week Ely moves ALL THE TIME! I have to take it easy cuz he has already dropped and so to be up to much gives me pains, but I have a bad back anyways so that isnt helping the situation. I have another Ultrasound on Valentines more for my peace of mind than anything but the cord has been low and they need to make sure it has moved so it doesnt come out first. I am having back contractions a lot which I get with all my kids unfortantly more irritating then anything. We are soon approaching the day. Yesterday we went and bought a couple outfits which was harder to do then I thought it would be. Especially for Wayne. We still dont have the crib up and wont till baby is home safely. I do think it was good for us to buy a couple things for Ely even though emotionally it was kinda hard. However we made it thru Paytons first birthday. It was a good day. His Angelvarsary is the 16th and hoping that I make it thru that day without having a complete melt down. I really dont need anymore stress on baby at this point but sure my angel Payton will take care of us.

[Lyssa Sauer]

Brooke what a wonderful time to take his pictures so many facial expression he looks very healthy and is so adorable! Thanks for sharing the boys with us.
Tina wow what a beautiful baby you have you cant tell he is a new born hes not red or anything. What a beautiful baby.

[Kathy Schneider]

Lyssa,
I can't believe you are 35 weeks already. I know time has not moved that quickly for you but it seems like just yesterday you were telling us you were pregnant. I'll keep you in my prayers. Are they going to induce you early or anything? Keep your chin up and I'm sure Payton is keeping his eyes on you to keep you, Ely and Wayne all safe. Hugs!

[Lyssa Sauer]

I havent updated since we had our ultrasound on Valentines. But first just want to let everyone know I made it thru Paytons 1 yr angelvarsary. I cried but it was good to cry it had been a while. We put flowers and balloons out to his grave site so all in all we made it thru.
The Ultrasound first thing first we finally took our other two kids in for this ultrasound. I was to scared to take them to the other three we had in fear something would be wrong. The cord moved out of the way so that is no longer a concern he was still measuring 5 days bigger than the actual due date still healthy and everything measures where it should. Ely weighs a wapping 6 lb 6 oz at that ultrasound! I have a doctors appt tomarrow we will be induced just so that i make sure I have the doctor I want to deliver, so sometime next week Ely Reed should be here with us. Please pray for a safe arrival! I will let you know when the scheduled date is if I dont go in tomarrow and she says your in labor which I have kinda felt funny the last couple days..Thanks for all the love and support. Lyssa


PS here is his 4D ultrasound picture

[Lyssa Sauer]

Well I went in today for my weekly check up and I am dialated to a 1 50% thinned and measuring in at 39 weeks I am suppose to be 37 weeks and 5 days anyways.. They told me they wouldnt induce me till I was at lease 39 weeks I tried to bargin with her telling her well I measure that cant we just do it now lol It looks as though the 8th we will go in to be induced if I dont go before then. I have an appt on Wen the 5th of March and will know if that is the for sure date cuz I will be exatly 39 weeks on the 8th.

Okay so another update. Unfortantly Wensday I came down with something started as a cough by thurs I was fevering at 102 so friday I went in and guess what I have Influenza. So they didnt induce me Sat because they say its safer for Ely to stay where hes at till I get better. I have a doctor appt monday and depending on how I am feeling and breathing then they will possibly induce me Tue. On top of having that I also have a double earache a sore throat and my sinuses are infected. They put my on antiobtics for the sinuses. I feel better then I did thursday but still not sure I would feel good enough for labor. However yesterday I lost my mucus plug and I know I am in labor but the dont want me to come in till my water breaks. Anyways please keep the prayers coming. My kids also have this crud to so pray for health for our family and safe delivery for Ely. Thanks guys Lyssa

[motherofthree]
