My new man

Taven Ross Clancy

Taven is here! What an amazing process to have a baby. Truly amazing from start to never ending. Taven is healthy, growing and changing everyday. He weighed 5 lbs 15 oz and was 18.5 in long. He dropped a bit to much weight waiting for real milk to come in but now he is a champ at eating and is over 6 lbs.

One week left...

Well, my blood pressure is not going down to where it should be even though I am on bedrest and doing nothing. My midwife said that no matter what, I am being induced on the 18th unless this little man comes out before then. I hope he does come sooner but obviously, don't get to call the shots. Every 2 days I am going into the hospital for a non-stress test, or an ultrasound, or a regular check up. They are watching me really carefully yet I feel fine. It is a weird thing. In the end, the goal is the same, a healthy baby boy. I cannot wait to hold him and love him and share him with our family...what an exciting time!

Just over 2 weeks Left!

I know! It is upside down...I need a lot of help on this website...

I found my camera! I thought it was lost which meant that I couldn't post pictures I had or take any more so there is a big gap in time but I am just glad to have the camera found. (It was in a drawer in my house...no big deal!)In this picture I am about 36 weeks pregnant. I am currently almost 38 weeks pregnant.

Things have been going really well except for a startling surprise of having to go to the hospital the other night and have blood work done as well as monitor Taven for 3 hours. I went in for a routine weekly check and my blood pressure was REALLY high. It is normally perfect so it was a bit creepy for me. I will find out Monday if I can work still or if I am on bed rest. This weekend I am supposed to lay low, on Monday I go to work for a half day and if my blood pressure is still high then I guess I will be waiting at home for labor to begin...BORING!

I will get better pictures taken and add to this bad boy. Sorry to keep everyone waiting!
