She's Here...

Minnie Carol Belew was born January 7, 2010 at 10:34 a.m. She weighed 8lbs. 2oz. and was 19 inches long. We are all doing well and everyone is adjusting to having a new addition. I will post pictures soon!

Counting the days....

Yes,we are counting down the days until the arrival of our precious new gift from God.

Well, let me back up a little bit. We had a failure to communicate on Sunday afternoon. About 8:30 a.m. I started having contractions about 2-5 minutes apart. SO, we thought we better pack up and head to San Angelo since it is an hour drive. They put me on the monitors and sure enough I was having STRONG contractions, but I never dilated past a 2 so I got sent home.

Now the plan is to go see Dr. Wilson tomorrow and schedule induction for Thursday morning. This is a little bitter sweet for me because my Daddy is out of town. He has NEVER missed the birth of one of my kids, but he had an amazing opportunity to go play golf at Pebble Beach. I told him six months ago to go ahead and make plans for his trip. I wasn't due until January 15th so we probably wouldn't induce until the 11th or so. That worked out great because he would be back, but things have changed and he will probably not make it back. It will be fine and I will have my sweet aunt and in-laws there to support me, but I'm still a little sad my Daddy is going to miss it. After all he is over the moon about this baby being a girl and he is the one who picked out her name!

So, this is the plan for now and I will try to have someone update you all when Miss Minnie Carol Belew arrives.

Blessings to you all in this New Year!
