4 1/2 cm!

well, im 4 1/2 cm and dr. d is not going to let me go past 5. so it probably wont be much longer! we will try to do amniocenticis today but only if there is a good pocket of fluid. so pray for ease of test and mature fluid. also that my water doesnt break....bc that will put me in an emergency situation with the risk of coles foot and cord coming through my cervix and we dont want that to happen. also pray for good healthy lungs! so please lift us up in prayer and this baby boy will soon arrive!

in the hospital! 36 weeks and 4 days

Hello friends,

we got admitted into the hospital late tuesday afternoon due to contractions. with meds they have stopped them for the most part and i have not made anymore progressions. tomorrow they what to do an amniocentesis to check the maturity of the fluid which will also indicate how mature cole's lungs are. they goal is to hold off delivery until saturday.

please pray for the following:

contractions dont pick up

my water does NOT break

the amnio goes well and shows signs of a mature baby

peace and comfort in gods plan for jason and myself

that we dont deliver until saturday

that cole flips....still breech, but ive surrendered to a c section

thanks in advance for your prayers! lucy

YEAH for 33 WEEKS!!

Got great news today!! Fetal Fibernectin test was negative for the second time!! Also, I am holding strong at 2cm (3 weeks and counting on the 2cm) and 30% effaced!! GREAT news all around! Now I feel like I can relax and enjoy my awesome BABY SHOWERS coming up!! And get the nursery ready!! THANKS FOR ALL THE PRAYERS!! We are so GRATEFUL!! Will post nursery pictures SOON!!

Thanks for your prayers!

My test was NEGATIVE! Which means Baby Cole should not be here for at least 2 more weeks! I go back to the doctor on Thursday. I am 2 cm dilated but lets all just pray I stay that way!!!!! I'll keep you posted!! Please keep praying!

Other news:

We did not get much done in the baby's room, but we did buy paint. And I ordered this print below!! Can't wait to get it! It will say Cole in the bottom corner....not Eloise!

It is from ETSY.com.....Modern Pop is the store! Lots of cute stuff to see!!

DILATED AND FLIPPED!

Hello Blog World! I know there are only 4 people that read this but by chance there are more.... I thought you should have an update on Baby Cole Patrick Henderly!! He is Frank Breech which you can clearly see in this photo I have posted. He could suck his toe instead of his thumb if he so chooses!! Also, as of TODAY I am 30 weeks and 3 days and "a fingertip dilated"!!!!!!!!!! Cole needs to stay put for a while longer so please pray that he does!!! I go back to the doctor later this week for a test that helps determine if I'm at risk for an early delivery!! If the test is positive my doctor will put me on steroids and not sure what else will happen besides pray and wait! Of course we hope the test shows no signs of Cole coming early and that my "fingertip" stays a "fingertip". Please say a pray for US!!! We are trusting that God's plan for Cole and future MOM and DAD is perfect!! In the meantime I'm planning a work day at my house this weekend to get the nursery ready!! No more procrastination!! THANKS IN ADVANCED FOR YOUR PRAYERS FOR OUR FAMILY!! I will post an update when we know more!!

About time I make an annoucement....

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!!!!!! Due on October, 2!!!

A Good Night!!

We had a great night last night at the Bay Bears Game in Mobile. We got to sit in a suite thanks to a doctor I don't know but the Chappell's do! The game was good...the other team won but me and Jason weren't too sad because it was the Tennessee Smokies who are one of the Chicago Cubs farm teams. GO CUBBIES!!! On Friday nights they have a fire works show after the game and it was really good....much better than I thought it would be. It was great to be with family and friends...... whom I love so much!!!!

missing my buds!!

These are pictures from when Heather and Michelle came for a little visit. I miss them so much and can't wait to see them again. I'm going to see them in July but that's really not soon enough!!!

This is where we are!!
