Well, my name is Jennifer and on January 2, 2008 I found out I was pregnant! My fiance' Larry about hit the floor when I told him! We weren't excecting to get pregnant but we are so glad he did. When I was 18 weeks pregnant we almost forced the doctor to do a synogram to find out the sex of the baby. We were hoping for a boy but it was 100% positivelya girl. The pregnancy went well, I was extra sensitive to EVERYTHING, but when i get ready to try again for another baby I am TOTALLY up to the challenge! Our excpected due date was August 31, 2008. After a few late braxton hick contractions (I naver really had any before the last week of my pregnancy) and a visit to my doctor on the 28th, we decided to induce. The plan was to induce on the 1st of September and then we could possibly have her on my fiance's birthday. Well after going from being dialated from a 1 to a 4 the doctor decided to go ahead and take her by c-section. I was kinda bummed out about it but he said that he wasn't doing well with the medicine they were using to induce me and it would be safer to take her the other way. So, at 4:00 AM on September 2nd, 2008 Shelby Annabelle was born. At 6 lbs 15 oz and 19 1/4 inches long, she was the most beautiful newborn I'd ever seen. Now, you always here that from new moms but seriously, she was beautiful, I have pictures to prove it! Anyways, we couldn't be anymore pleased or blessed to have her in our lives, she has helped our relationship in many ways and helped us to be better people. To top it off she's PERFECT!
