Dilated to a 7!!!! Woo hoo!!!

The doctor says she's 90% effaced, and the baby is low.

Jilly says she's feeling a little pressure but nothing too bad.

Things are definitely rolling... Keep it up little guy!

Dilated to a 5.

Doctor just broke her water, and baby is doing great.

Woo hoo!

Ashley here again.

Just heard from both my mom and Jilly. After taking out the Cervidil she is contracting really well on her own. So they've decided to give her the epidural (the anesthesiologist has 4 scheduled c-sections today and Jilly doesn't want to chance not being able to get one.)

She is at a 4, and will start petocin as soon as the epidural is in.

Steady progress... I love it.

Not too much new. Jilly slept really well and had contractions all night about every 2 minutes.

The doctor feels like she's progressed enough to take the Cervidil out and start her on petocin in about 15 minutes. She's dilated to a 3 and the doctor is hoping for a baby boy by this afternoon.

Keep coming back for updates. I'll post them as soon as I get them.

Ash

Checked in!

Jillian is officially checked into the hospital. She is registered, hooked up and ready to go.

They gave her some Cervidil to try and get things going and also gave her some Ambien to
help her get some sleep before the hard stuff starts.

My mom is staying at Jilly's house until the real contractions begin. I'll post again as soon as they do.

Good luck Jilly! We love you!

Baby Book

I just finished documenting the pregnancy and putting together the first pages of Baby's Book. I think it turned out cute...

Now all I need is a picture of baby for the cover! Hurry up Little Monkey! 

Just playing the waiting game...

We are so anxious for our little guy to get here! I know, I know I should enjoy these last few days all by my lonesome, my sleep, and one on one time with my hubby.... but let's be honest, I CAN'T wait to to have this baby!!! I look in the nursery everyday so excited to actually put it to use. 

So since we are just playing the waiting game over here at the Coons' residence... I thought I would share with you my new favorite things...

#1- Andrea Bocelli Christmas Album-

I love his voice, plus it features Mo-Tab! 

#2- Pantene Pro-V Split End Protection

I typically use Bed Head's Ego-Boost to get this job done, but couldn't bring myself to spend that much money on a product this month. I found this at Target and thought, it couldn't hurt? I LOVE IT! It makes my hair SO soft, it doesn't weigh it down or make it greasy. However, let me say, typically products that I LOVE in Nevada, don't always work so well in the California because of the moisture....so beware if you find this to be true as well.
#3- See's Candy- This is not a new favorite, just one that I want 24/7 in the past 2 weeks. I literally crave it ALL DAY LONG! I have a new favorite, Vanilla Buttercream... Whoa, it is amazing. I still love my old favorites as well, the milk bordeaux, milk patties, butterchew.... but the vanilla buttercream is just tasty!

We will keep you posted on Baby Coons....but technically we have 13 days left until the actual due date...

PS- Many have asked what we are naming our little monkey. I think we have finally both agreed, but it isn't 100% just yet, we'll let you know as soon as it is!
