Good morning

Epidural and pitocin are flowing. The nurse put her money on a baby by noon. All is well!!

We're Here!!!

It is 3:00 in morning Jenny's water broke and we are at the hospital and in our room. Jenny is having contractions but if this one is like the two previous we have a long wait ahead of us. We're going to try to rest now and get things moving in the morning.

29 weeks

I am now 29 weeks along and feeling great. Getting a little tired now that I'm in the third trimester and my hips are sore after sitting on the floor with the kiddos. All in all I'm good. I just had an appointment today with a specialist to check baby girls kidneys. The left kidney is normal and functioning great. Which is really good news. The right kidney is filled with fluid, but is still a healthy organ. So I have to have another ultrasound at the specialist in a month and hope things have changed, if not I will be sent to see a uralogist to figure out if they want to continue monitoring her after she's born or do a procedure to straighten out the tubing that connects the kindey to the bladder. They are not too concerned and I'm praying she will out grow this, which is most common. Everyone keep her in your prayers! Will and Addy are getting excited for her to get here. I can't wait to get there rooms set up! and Derek is still trying to decide what names he likes. I have my favorite so I might just have to talk him into it. Keep you posted!

Baby Girl!!

We're having a girl! I had my 24 week check up and decided to have the ultrasound tech write down the sex of the baby and seal it in an envelope so Derek and I could find out together. During my ultrasound they took 4D pictures of our little girl which was very cool, I think she looks like Will. They did find fluid on her kidneys, which means we now have to monitor them by ultrasound every month. She could have a blockage in the tube that carries the urine from the kidney to the bladder or the valve isn't functioning correctly which lets some urine back into the kidney. It is something we have to watch and pray she grows out of it. I also found out during my appointment that I do not have gestational diabetes, yeah! Now we are on the hunt for a girls name that both Derek and I like and that is hard! We also have to go through all of Will's clothes that we have stored, set up the kids new rooms and Derek and I will be moving our room back downstairs to the main floor. Busy life for the Springer's !

Our Nephew is here!

Congrats to Ryan and Nicole. Baby Wyatt Kenton was born today just after 4pm weighing in at 8lbs 6oz and 20.5 inches long. We are so excited for them and can't wait to meet our new nephew. Will and Addison asked if they could go to KS to play with their new cousin. We'll be visiting soon!!!

Fun! Fun!

So I am dealing with something new this pregnancy. Unfortunately I have developed varicose veins that are pretty uncomfortable. Lucky me gets to wear full maternity compression stockings. Very cute! Walking a lot to get the blood flowing and resting with my legs elevated has helped. My doctor says they will most likely go away after I have the baby. I hope so!
