Well......she's due for her 5th baby on May 18th.....but she's been on bedrest 16 1/2 weeks with just a few more days to go - she has been on bedrest since December 14th for 17 weeks - she officially goes off it this coming Wednesday and she can hardly wait. I guess I can't blame her. She's had a few scares with contractions starting at week 18 (Dec 14th) and a couple other times inbetween with the most recent this past week when she landed in the birthing center Wednesday night for 6 hours. They gave her 2 doses of the "stuff" to stop the contractions....it starts with a T and I know I would misspell it.  She will still have 5 weeks left after bedrest but the OB said he would let her deliver anytime after Wednesday. Needless to say - we are all getting excited to meet our newest little family member.  |

Congrats! I can't wait to hear about the new little one. Does she know if it's a boy or a girl?

Of course I remember her! I'm sure she's so happy for no more bed rest! I cannot imagine having to do bed rest with 4 kiddos! Can't wait to hear when the baby gets here and to see pictures |

Congrats on the new baby and the 4th one. I don't remember hearing about that one. I remember her because one of her girls and I share a birthday. I know I remember strange things.

Nothing new to report.......she's been having alot of contractions and some backache and cramping stuff the past 3 or 4 days but it comes and goes so nothing to get excited about quite yet altho she's anxious to get it done. She's 36 1/2 weeks and yes - they know it's a baby girl. I keep telling her she's going to go overdue but she doesn't like that very well. lol!

Oh man - this is so late but....Melissa gave birth to Eirinn (pronounced Erin) Sue 2 weeks ago this morning, May 15th at 10:33am. She weighed 7 lb 3 oz and was 20 inches long. She's just perfect in every way. So teeny tiny - forgot how little they are after 4 years since the last grandbaby. She is very beautiful, (naturally) and has black hair. She's a good little eater and sleeper and just a good little baby. Melissa is doing well. She feels so much better now - no more dealing with contractions for days on end and no sleep, etc. The morning she gave birth to Eirinn - she also passed that blessed kidney stone that she had been dealing with for weeks....it was the biggest one she's ever passed. So - you could say she gave birth twice. LOL! |
