well, another hurdle cleared!!

Just returned from visiting with Dr. Johnson again. The visit started very well, with them calling Jean back just about immediately. They took her blood pressure and weight as usual, gained 1 lb, and blood pressure was right on! (Its always lower when I drive her there, higher when she has to drive downtown on her own. She will deny this, but facts dont lie.) She is still dilated to 2Cm, right where she was on Wednesday, and the cervix is about 50% efaced. The head has moved down slightly, but we still have time. All this led to the one question on most (OK, all of the Frank clan, and 50% of the Kaproth clan) have wanted to know--Will Jean make it to Tracys wedding.

According to the doctor, as long as Jean has no contractions, and feels OK on Friday, she sees no problem in Jean attending the wedding. Good news!! We did, just to be safe, get a paper copy of all her pre-natal information in the event something odd does happen. Now, my challenge for all you readers, we need to keep her calm and relaxed all weekend!! No letting her get excited because the bagels seem dry at the hair-do place! No letting her get worked up because the bride didnt show up!! Lets all work together to keep her calm!! Take Care, and thanks everyone for all the well wishes and thoughts and prayers we have been receiving.

Playing with the cousins

Today, Jean and I ventured south to Andover for Jills baby shower. While we were there, we gave the soon-t0-be-cousins some time to become acquainted.


Jean had a OB appointment again on Wednesday, and all is still looking good! Heart rate was 150, and she is dilated to 2Cm. Next appointment, TOMORROW!! Hope we get the OK to attend the wedding this coming Saturday!!

the baby room one step closer to complete!

Grandpa and Grandma Kaproth delivered the final big pieces of the baby room today. It looks so perfect in there, its like a page out of a catalog!!








In mommy news, Wednesday Jean had another OB appointment. She did test positive for Strep B, so she will need to undergo some antibiotics during labor. Heart rate is at 160 this visit. Jean is Dialated to 1Cm and 30% efaced at this point. Next appointment, is Wednesday!!

Info in brief....

Another Doctors appointment yesterday. Our regular OB is having some medical problems of her own, so we did not get to see her, we saw another OB from St. Lukes.

Everything looked very good according to the doc. The heartbeat was 150, and Jean is slightly dilated (Less than 1 Cm). Not much more to update.

Thanks to everyone for all the gifts at the baby shower!! Our house is now full of baby stuff, and is really making reality set in!! Your generosity is not unnoticed!!
