Just when you think you know what love is, someone throws a curveball. This time, the curveball was thrown by a 7 lb little person.
I am obsessed with my baby’s feet. And her eyes. And her toothless grin. And the fuzzy hair on her head. I expected, but never would have been able to predict [...]

Labor & Delivery
Posted in Uncategorized on May 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
So the birth of Haleigh turned out to be a 3-day event….
I saw Dr. O’Toole on Wednesday, May 7th, and she made the decision to induce me on the upcoming Friday (the 9th) due to the fact that I was already a couple of days past due and I had a wonderful, itchy case of [...]

We were scheduled to be discharged from the hospital at 11:00 AM today but things have been pushed back for a few hours. Due to the fact that Allison had a fever during the delivery and Haleigh had one for a brief period following, the pediatrician at the hospital wanted us to stick around [...]

Haleigh Anne Giuliano was born on May, 10th 2008 at 7:20 PM. She weighed approximately 7 pounds and 3 ounces. I won’t go into too many details at this time regairding either Allison’s or my experiences during the labor and delivery. In fact, all I’ll say right now is that it was [...]

Based on the number of times Allison’s phone has vibrated in my pocket I gather that there are a lot of anxious friends and family members out there. First of all, I want to thank all of you for your support and your interest in what is going on. As of right now, [...]

No, we’re not back with the baby. We’re not even back after hours of false labor. We got to the hospital at around 8:45 last evening to have the prostin gel put in (they forgot to call us earlier in the evening) and were eventually brought up to a labor room because all [...]
We’re On Our Way

At Allison’s appointment yesterday the doctor made a decision to induce her on Friday. 5/9/08. Apparently, the induction process is a multi-day event. This evening, we will be heading over to the triage department at the hospital so that Allison can be given prostin gel. Prostin Gel, to be brief and without [...]
Progress
Posted in pregnancy on May 2, 2008 | 1 Comment »
As of yesterday, I am dilated about 1 cm, and 50% effaced. Dr O’Toole says she’ll check me again next week (if I haven’t already had the baby), see how I’ve progressed, and possibly induce on Friday…I really am not fond of the idea of being induced, but if I have to choose between having [...]
