Still Waiting

8-7-1986

Your heart rate was 154, so it sounds like you are a girl, 10 days left to go. You are not positioned right and my cervix is still closed. The doctor won’t know until I go until labor whether your head is in the right position or not. He said that my body has been so stretched that you just move around as much as you please, and that you might never settle down to be born.

I measured 36 weeks pregnant, which is normal; you always drop a couple of weeks right before birth. My weight has been around 192, with Kaci I got all the way up to 210.

Andrew

8-4-1986

Your Aunt Lori had a baby boy on 7-30-86. He was named Andrew Joseph and weighed around 6 lbs 15 oz.

I have been loosing just a little amount of fluids, not really as much as I lost with the rest of the kids at this time. We have 13 days left until your due date. I will bet money you will be born a couple days either way.
Your heart rate was 153 at the last doctor appointment. The doctor said he thought you were going to be a girl.

I have my suitcase packed, film in the camera, and bills paid so I am already to go. I have been doing a lot of housecleaning, getting rid of a lot of stuff.
I haven’t been able to sleep very good at nights. The most I sleep is two hours at a time. I still have a cough, but it is not nearly as bad as it was the last time I wrote in here.

Waiting

7-30-1986

Well today your aunt Lori is supposed to have her baby. They are going to induce labor. I started maternity leave today; we have 18 days left until your due date.
I have been having trouble sleeping at night.
I have also had bronchitis for the past two weeks; I think I’m finally getting over it.
I got my suitcase packed and ready to go to the hospital, whenever you’re ready.
Your dad has been on vacation these past two weeks. He hasn’t got much done though.

First Entry (apparently) = Longest Entry

7-19-1986

I bought this book to write stuff in that won’t fit in your baby book. I’m keeping one of these books for each one of you kids, I hope to give them to each of you when you are older.
You are to be born around August 17. You have an older brother, Rick who will be 9-Sept. 28, and two older sisters, Kassie who will be 6-Oct. 1 and Kaci Jo who will be 3-Nov. 11. Rick was born a day early, Kassie two days late and Kaci Jo was born right on her due date. So chances are you will be born between Aug. 15-20, are pretty good. Your dad works at Weise, he has been there 13 years, and I work at Woodward State School and have been there for 15 years.
If you are a boy your name will be Adam Jacob “AJ”, if you are a girl your name will be Kelsey Jane.

I had one really bad scare with you since I was pregnant. I had taken Ricky to a wrestling tournament in Emmestbury and I started bleeding. I thought for sure I was going to lose you. Someone must have been watching out for me, though.
After I stayed in bed for 3 days, the bleeding stopped. The rest of my pregnancy has been really good. I get tired faster, but I am also older this time. Your dad is a really good father; he takes your brother and sisters everywhere. He plays ball with them and everything else. You are a lucky kid to have such a father.

Your brother Ricky is a very active person, Kassie is shy and never causes any trouble. Your sister Kaci is still in the terrible twos. I think you will be an active child also, I have never carried a child as active as you. You move all the time and you are so strong, you actually hurt me when you kick.

Your aunt Lori was due July 13, and she hasn’t had her baby yet. She had the same number of kids as I do and in the same order; boy, girl, girl, so I am waiting to see what she has, so I will see what I am suppose to have.

My last doctor appt was this past Thursday. I was 35 weeks pregnant and measure 37 weeks pregnant. This whole pregnancy I have measured bigger then what I am suppose to. But I think the reason behind it, is because you will probably weigh between 8 and 9 pounds. All 3 of your brother and sisters have weighed in-between 8 lbs 15 oz to 9 lbs 1 ½ oz. Your heart rate was 160, which is supposed to mean you will be a boy. But then, who knows. It’s probably just an old wise tale. Everybody at work is taking guesses on what you will be. I think it is running about 80% girl. I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks, then after that I will be going every week. I started working just 6 hour days at work. My body just couldn’t take 8 hours anymore.
