My granddaughter's birthday is the 23rd. She came home on Christmas Eve. What a present!

Since she's only three and doesn't know the exact day yet, we usually try to celebrate it about a week early.

I love the name Tess!

Oh yay! That means you can give me a heads up! lol

Shana, Find out what is the Doctors policy for breaking your water early.I hate to see you waiting for two days.

Oh Shana, I am sooo excited for you!!!! :cheer: I can't wait to see pictures of that little doll!! And WOW what a birthday!! LOL :D My cousin had TWINS (of course they are almost 15 now, lol) on Dec. 21st - so you can just imagine what it was like having TWINS with Birthday's 4 days before Christmas :p Mind you they are both TEENAGE GIRLS now....so I think it's even worse NOW that it was before LOL :p

Anyway, big hugs to you and I can't wait to see lots and lots of little miss Tess pictures!!! :hug:

How exciting:) . Hope it happens quickly. My 1st dtr was induced. The Dr. said within 6 hrs. It took 30 hrs, half of which were on the industrial strength of the PitDrip. After almost 30 hrs, the Dr. said about 9 more hrs, she "shot out" 15 min. after he said that. So, anything can happen. My 2nd. dtr, Krysten, was due in Feb. Xmas eve, I was getting ready for the big xmas day dinner and my water broke. Needless to say, Krysten was born Xmas day by C-section. She was in the Neo-natal critical/intensive care center in another city for 3 weeks. So my insurance, which was supposed to carry over my deductible for the year-didn't and about $27K later, we had a beautiful, fully recovered baby girl. The funny thing about being born on Xmas - when she was small, we never took her out xmas day. We would have a family b-day party xmas eve and she would have her regular b-day party in the summer. She thought she was super special because she was the only one that had a birthday that Santa would come to. She never realized what xmas was until she started school. After that, she figured out she was getting gipped. We always kept her b-day party as far away as possible from xmas. We let her pick when she wanted it after she got a little older. It worked great.
Hugs and prayers for you and Tess(love the name).

That's WONDERFUL!!! Happy birthday baby Tess (on the 26th)!!!!!

YAY!!!! I bet you can't wait for Tess to come out! Congrats again. Can't wait to see pictures.

congrats and good luck with tess...i love the name

my sons due date was the 26th but im having a c-section on the 19th..we will all have to upload pics of our newbabies when we can...

That is soooo great....You also will get a tax deduction for 2007.....

Shana, don't be discouraged but inducement might take a little while. You may just have Tess on MY birthday, December 28th! My third child was induced and it was a very hard 12 hours. My first two were born within 4 hours of getting to the hospital so really 6 hour labors with them...but everybody is different! I hope you breeze right on thru!!! Happy Baby Day!!!

That's my birthday!!!! :):):)

Yay that is so exciting!!! CONGRATS!. I can't wait to meet her (digitally..lol). Maybe your doc can induce you on the 20th or something, that way even if labor takes a day or two, he's not going on his vacation, and Tess will have been born before Christmas. I'm so excited for you!!!

How exiting Shana ! Now we all know when and we can be on the lookout :D Praying for a fast Delivery !

Congratulations and best wishes.

:eek: Wow, I cant believe you had to be induced 3 times that must have been so nerve-wracking! That would make me crazy!
