Introducing... Megan Jane Schock!

Megan Jane Schock

Born Monday November 3, 2008 at 3:59 pm

The Birthing Inn

8 lbs 12 oz

22 inches long

We were induced at the hospital on Monday morning and went to the Birthing Inn at about 3 pm. Megan was born about an hour later via a water birth. The labor was fairly quick at about 3 hours. We are so glad our precious little girl has safely arrived! Megan has been very alert and a great eater from the beginning and is doing very well! Thank you so much to everyone for your prayers and love. We are very blessed!

With proud sister Grace and brother Nathaniel fondly remembering his entrance into the world in the same tub Megan was born in.

Baby Update

We're still pregnant! 41 weeks and 3 days to be exact! It looks like this little baby girl has no immediate desire to meet the outside world. I had my doctor's appt on Thursday... they did the NST (non-stress test where they monitor the baby's mov't and heartrate) and an ultrasound to check fluids and everything looks great with the baby.

Grandma has been here since Wednesday and has been very helpful with Grace and Nathaniel. We so appreciate it since I am so tired and sore all of the time. Grace and Nathaniel have both been fighting colds towards the end of the week, so it has been really challenging.

I'm scheduled for an induction on Monday. I will call the hospital at 6am to find out when to go in. Anyway, I'm really hoping to go into labor on my own this weekend, but so far nothing! I did try accupuncture for labor induction on Thursday afternoon. It was really interesting. The accupuncturist has a 80% success rate of women going into labor within 24-48 hours of the accupuncture, but it looks like I'm in the 20% that don't go into labor within 48 hours!

We will be sure to let everyone know when our baby makes her grand entrance! We can't wait to meet her!
