Abigail Christine has arrived!

Hello All,
Abigail Christine arrived on Monday evening at 5:55. She was 19 inches long and 7 pounds 3 ounces. She gave us a bit of a scare, though! Somehow the sneaky little girl had gotten her hand down over her head and had pulled the umbilical cord with it. It was getting compressed when Melissa was having contractions, so they decided to do an emergency C-section. It was very scary for Andy and Melissa (and for all of those who were at the hospital waiting) things happened very fast! But it all ended well! Abigail is a perfect little darling! We couldn't ask for anything more! Pictures to come soon...we promise!
Love,
The Rohrbeck Family

The end is near...

Hello all,
Went to the doctor again yesterday. Melissa is about 2 cm dialated. She is feeling some contractions and has been for about week, but nothing is going on just yet! Melissa is very uncomfortable and actually has taken this week off of work. On Monday, she could barely walk. The doctor said she will also induce Melissa on Monday if Abbie hasn't made her appearance yet. So, we'll see! Andy is happy to know there is an end in sight! This waiting game is crazy!!

Thanks for all the kind thoughts and words!!
Love,
Andy and Melissa

Getting closer...

Hello All,
The doctor said Melissa is 1 cm dialated and probably will not make it to her due date. Andy and Melissa have mixed feelings about that!! :-) Melissa is ready to be done though and meet the little girl! Melissa is having trouble sleeping, walking, and doing just about anything! Haha! But all is well in the Rohrbeck household for now! We will keep you posted!

Love,
Andy and Melissa

Doctor Appointment

Hello All,
We went to the doctor yesterday. Heard the heartbeat again...it's at 136, nice and strong. Doctor said Melissa is not dialated at all yet, but baby Abbie is head down and ready to go! She said when she felt Abbie's head that she didn't move out of the birth canal, so hopefully she will drop in the next couple weeks! Melissa and Andy FINALLY have everything put away in the baby room! The baby bag for the hospital is packed and in the car at all times...just in case! Andy is very excited about becoming a father. Melissa is also very excited, but tired!! :-)
Update again soon...
Love,
Andy and Melissa

6 weeks and counting!

Hello All,
Who can believe that there's only 6 weeks left to the due date?! Not us, that's for sure! Saw the doctor today and she said all is well. Baby is head down...causing much back pain to mom for sure! Melissa's ribs are also very sore, but it's a good kind of sore we suppose. :-) We asked about how big she's going to be and the doctor said Melissa is measuring average, so she will probably be 7 or 7 and a half pounds. The baby bag is packed and ready to go. Now onto cleaning and organizing the baby room!! :-)

Talk soon!
Melissa and Andy

All is well

I called and got the results of my blood tests and all is well! :-) Although, my arms are very bruised still almost a week later!!
