2 week check-up
Well our little piggy is growing! Friday we went in for Ella's 2 week check-up - she now weighs 8lbs 6ozs - she's a good eater! She's growing so fast! I think we're finally on a schedule, she eats about every 3 to 4 hours so I'm up twice during the night, which I guess isn't bad. She's quite the shopper too. Yesterday I took her to the mall to meet up w/ another gf who's on maternity leave and we spent all day at the mall! She was such a good girl, slept the entire time besides waking for 1 feeding. Dad better look out, his girls love to shop!!!

Baby Batten has arrived!
Ella Margaret Batten was born on February 1, 2009 at 12:45 pm weighing 7 lbs. 8 0zs. and measuring 20 1/2 inches long. Mom woke-up in the early hours of Sunday, Feb. 1st w/ some cramping, which soon turned into contractions. We started timing them at about 1:40 a.m. and watched them go from 5 minutes apart to 3 minutes apart pretty quickly. So we called the Doc and headed to the hospital. We arrived around 4:30, no the hospital isn't that far only about 8 miles actually. Anyway, checked in around 4:30 a.m. and went from there. I was progressing right along on my own, when the Doc showed up I was dilated to 6 cm and we decided to break my water. From there I just kept progressing until I reached 10 cm, pushed for 3 hours and now we have the most beautiful baby girl!

2 days to go...
Well we're down to the last 2 days...hopefully the next thing I'm posting is news of the birth of baby B. I had another Dr. appointment yesterday and I'm still making progress and if I don't go into labor over the weekend then I go in on Monday and they'll check me and schedule me for sometime next week. I guess 3 -4 days is all they'll let me go over. I'm really hoping that this little shit decides to come on it's own!
