ZANE ALEXANDER


Zane was born on Feb. 17 at 9:37pm, 8 lbs & 15.6 oz. Both Christine and Zane (and Glenn) are doing great! After going in Monday morning to be induced and only dialating to 3cm, they decided to do a c-section. I GUESS HE DID NOT WANT TO COME OUT!! He is doing good and seems to be a pretty content baby so far!! For the Chavis' this is Aunt Carrie!! More pictures and updates to come!! :)

It's almost time

I went to the doctor on Thursday and have made very little progress. I reach 42 weeks on Monday and the doctor tells me that the risks to the baby start to increase after this long. She has asked me to come in Monday morning to start the process of inducing. It will take quite a while so we should have our little Zane by Tuesday or Wednesday.
The first day should be fairly boring. They will start by prepping my cervix, 12 to 24 hours. When I am dilated to 3-4 cm, they will start pitocin if my body has not taken over the process. I am hoping that my body will take over at some point...please God!
If we experience complications or if my body does anything crazy, the doctor will want to go for a c-section. I am praying that we don't end up having to go under the knife.
Keep us in your prayers!
We will let you know when Zane arrives.

Things are progressing slowly but still no sight of Zane. We will keep you posted and promise to post pictures ASAP.

No baby yet

Monday was officially 40 weeks and Zane is still nice and snuggly in my belly. I went to the doctor yesterday. She said that everything looks good, my fluids have not started decreasing and the placenta looks good. All signs point to everything is great! So, Zane is safe and comfortable.
That means that we just have to exercise patience and trust that God created pregnancy in a way that works! Please keep Glenn and me in your prayers that we will be able to stay focused, patient and know that God is in control.
We will keep you updated on the progress.
