Alexis Rose was born Friday 9/12/03 at 6:48 PM. Water broke that morning and I was induced around 1:00. Had a quick labor , and by time I asked for epideral was 9cm dilated, needless to say had her natural, too late for epideral. Baby is up now, gotta go. Will post more details when I can. Maggie, have you had your baby yet?
 
Congrats! I'm so happy for you. Thanks for the quick update--us pregos are always hanging around waiting for the big news. Too bad you missed your epidural, I always thought that was one of the best parts of being pregnant. :D Maggie DID have her baby a few days ago. She posted her story on the "Where's Maggie" forum listing.

Eager to hear more details as you are able...

Ahhhh, Congratulations and welcome Alexis Rose, what a beautiful name too. Good wishes and many cuddly kisses to your sweet little one. I wish you and your family much health and happiness. Take Care!
 
What a blessing shopaholic!!! Congratulations and I love your name Alexis Rose, how beautiful!!! So I guess you'll be posting your workouts in a another week or two. (and that's a joke by the way - I was just amazed at the intensity of your workouts in that last week of pregnancy!!). Don't push yourself too hard!!

Baby is finally sleeping so I'm posting more details. Woke up friday am a little wet but decided i must have peed on self, since bladder has not been great. Proceeded to exercise since i was feeling fine. Throughout workout got wetter and wetter, still thought just my bladder. Finally about an hour later called the doctor who told me to immediately come in. He examined me and i was 3cm dilated and he said fluid was in fact amniotic fluid . Sent me to hospital where I was induced shortly before 1:00, contractions picked up around 5:00 and really worsened after 6:00 when i asked for epideral. it was too late which I am glad for . Baby came out with few pushes and arrived at 6:48. I wonder if my morning workout workout sped up the process. Thanks everyone for all of your kind words and praise of my workout schedule. Yes, i am waiting to go back to exercise until postpartum checkup, besides i am sore. I did have tearing and had stiches. keep up with the workouts, for me my delivery was easy and weight gain was low which I think is from the exercise.
 
Hi Shopaholic!
Big congratulations! I am so glad that everything went so well. Enjoy little Alexis Rose (beautiful name, by the way) as much as possible, because she will change sooo fast. I love the newborn baby stage:) .

Yes, I had my baby on the 9th and more details are posted on the Where's Maggie? thread. He is a good eater, which I am thrilled with.

RE: Congrats!!!

Thanks for the update shopaholic. You DID exercise literally to delivery. Wow! You're amazing. If I have 1/2 the dedication, ambition & strength you had during your pregnancy I will be satisfied.
Enjoy your little one. We'll look forward to updates. :)
