Greetings! Shelby and I would like you to help us welcome Seth Nathan Bidwell into the world. He was born on Tuesday the 19th of Febuary at 5:30 PM, weighing 6 pounds. If you'd like to see some pictures, please feel free to visit http://bidwellfamily.net/images/v/SethBorn/Read more... )

My OB's office called this morning to work on details for my C-section/tubal ligation. Apparently when he looked at the calendar and picked a date, he didn't realize that he's at the other hospital all day that day! So, we're going with March 4th instead. At 2pm. I'm all scheduled, so let's hope that this is actually going to be the day. I'm ( Read more... )

I think I have to take Celia to the dentist tomorrow. She fell at school and hit her mouth on a table in the "housekeeping" area of her classroom. It was a plastic table, but she definitely got herself good. She's got a bruise/blood blister under the top of her lip, and her tooth is loose. Thankfully there was no blood, and she seemed fine ( Read more... )

I saw my OB and MFM yesterday, and all looks good for now! We even scheduled my C-section and tubal ligation for March 5th at 9:30AM! I have a date! At least that is the latest I'll get to meet this little guy. My MFM seems to think that 37 weeks is a more likely goal, with some of the effects we're seeing from my sugars. But the OB can't ( Read more... )

I saw my OB this morning, and he told me to up my dose to 20mg with how I've been feeling. Now I have been doing this about half the time, so maybe it will help ( Read more... )

Well, the medication is helping, but I'm still having quite a few contractions. I'm curious to see what my OB says tomorrow. Definitely not comfortable sitting, standing or walking for more than 20 minutes or so. I've worked it out so I am working from home most of the time, and only going into the office a few times per week for a few hours. ( Read more... )

This has been the longest week I've had in a long time. Tuesday morning I was feeling a bit crampy, but didn't think of it. By the afternoon, it was much more constant, so I called my OBs office to see if I should be concerned. So they bring me in, check me out, and send me straight to the hospital to be monitered. After 5 hours, an IV with 2 ( Read more... )

Yesterday we had Celia's first parent-teacher conference! And she even got a report card (that was VERY comprehensive!)! Her teacher went over all of the points, and why she gave Celia the "grades" she did (S= secure and D= Developing, and there was another letter that wasn't positive, maybe A= Absent, but Celia didn't get any of these). Anyway ( Read more... )

We found out yesterday, that we're having a boy!!! No doubt at all- though the child only revealed himself when I was on my side, and they were trying for some better pictures of other organs. I'm so excited!! One of each!! Celia's thrilled too- she can't wait to meet her baby brother!
