Chesley Ryan Breault

Our little angel was born on the 29th of October at twenty one minutes past twelve in the afternoon. She weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces and was 19 inches long.

Oct. 27th Doctor's visit

A little progress today....I've dilated to 2-3cm. Dr. Slone did a little procedure to encourage labor, so we'll see what happens. She hopes to see me back this week in labor. If not, I have an apt. for next Monday where I'll have to set a date to be induced next week. Wish us luck.

Oct. 24, Kempa's Halloween Party

A great time was had by all at Kempa's Halloween bash. Billy's chest was the highlight of the evening. I think he was violated by every partygoer. Unfortunately, the keg (me) began to turn into a pumpkin around 11:30 PM, so we left a little earlier than usual. Thanks Kempa for a great time!

Oct. 20th doctor's visit

These doctor visit posts are pretty boring because nothing is changing! It's pretty much all about the waiting game now. Dr. Slone just listened to Chesley's heartbeat which sounded good and that's it. I did have a record weight gain of 5 lbs. in one week. Guess those ice cream sandwiches worked. If I haven't gone into labor by my next week's apt., I have to pick a date to be induced. They won't let you go more than 1 week past your due date. I'm really hoping that nature will take its course before it comes to that. I'm going for a "pre-labor" massage tonight that is supposed to encourage the onset of labor. Wish me luck!

Michael's Visit

Michael came in this weekend for his 10 year high school reunion. We started off Sat. morning with breakfast at Alfalfa's and then Sharon, Billy, and Michael headed to Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, KY for a bourbon tour. As tantalizing as the smell of sour mash sounded, I chose to read on the couch all afternoon. Here are some pics from their family field trip.

Oct. 13th doctor's visit

Well, today's doctor's visit was pretty uneventful! Everything looks and sounds good. The doctor did say that Chesley (pronounced Chez-lee) is probably only about 6 lbs. right now. Therefore, I'm going to eat extra ice cream sandwiches this week to see if I can fatten her up a bit before her arrival! (:
