11/21/2008 6:55:54 PM	So I just wanted to update everyone. We did get some new pictures up of the doctors appointment on Monday and her first bath and also her first trip to downtown Salisbury!!! We have had a good week!!! My mommy has been up here with us the whole week helping us tremendously!! She has helped clean up the house and most importantly she has helped with Ariella. She has stayed up with her so that I can sleep since I have mastitis. I don't know what we would do without her. John has gone to work everyday this week!! He is such a hard worker. Mommy and I have been trying to keep everything in order and also take care of Ariella.   Tomorrow we are going to be taking Ariella to church for the first time!!! We will post the pictures as soon as we can!! I am so thankful for all of our friends and family all over and we are so happy to have Ariella home!!!
11/20/2008 12:24:46 PM	Ariella went for her first doctors appointment on Monday and the doctor said she is doing fine. I should have some new pictures up soon.

11/12/2008 2:37:16 PM	Ariella got her first professional pictures done. They turned out great and we should have some wallets to give out soon. Mommy and baby are still doing great. We have had lots of nice visits from friends, family, and all the nurses here.
11/12/2008 11:45:17 AM	Mommy and baby are doing great. Sherry got some much needed rest last night and Ariella has been warm and happy. Sherry feels very refreshed now after her shower and Lunch should be a long soon.

11/11/2008 5:58:03 PM	Ariella Marie is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!     Stats to follow soon
11/11/2008 5:20:00 PM	The bladders empty and its almost time to start pushing.
11/11/2008 4:07:16 PM	Sherry is 9cm and positive 1. She should start pushing soon.
11/11/2008 3:14:47 PM	Sherry is feeling very good now. If you go to the photogallery you will see how good she is feeling. Chatting on the phone.
11/11/2008 2:52:21 PM	Water is broken and she is at 8cm.
11/11/2008 2:44:00 PM	The epidural is in and Sherry is doing well.
11/11/2008 2:14:35 PM	Sherry is 5cm now and the epidural is on the way.
11/11/2008 12:17:28 PM	Sherry is still contracting well. She is still getting PIT and they have given her some pain killer to take the edge off. The doctor should be by again soon to check her. Then we will really know if we are getting somewhere.
11/11/2008 10:50:26 AM	The PIT appears to be working and sherry is having more regular contractions of a higher intensity. We will see if she dilates anymore.
11/11/2008 9:44:40 AM	They are starting Sherry on PIT through her IV to see if we can get the contractions going and get her dilated.
11/11/2008 8:05:44 AM	The doctor came by to see us and said he wanted to let things go for another few hours before giving her anything else as there has been no change in dilation.     Sherry is going to try the birthing ball out for a while.
11/11/2008 7:53:29 AM	Another long strong contraction and Sherry is back on oxygen.
11/11/2008 7:33:07 AM	Sherry has had several contractions of normal length now and Ariella's heartbeat has remained strong through the them. We tried the last one without oxygen and Ariella did well.
11/11/2008 6:47:57 AM	Sherry is having long contractions followed by long breaks. Ariella is having some trouble with these long contractions and Sherry is now on oxygen. The doctor should be in for the next shift soon and we will see what he says.
11/11/2008 3:06:04 AM	Sherry is doing fine. Ariella's heart drops a bit when Sherry is on here back, so Sherry is stuck being on one side or the other.
11/10/2008 9:34:44 PM	The doctor has given Sherry some medicine to help her contractions a long. He doesn't want to send her home becuase of a few low heart rates from the Ariella.
11/10/2008 8:03:23 PM	The contractions have spaced out a bit and we are not sure when the doctor will be back.
11/10/2008 4:58:28 PM	Well the Doctor came by to see us and said Sherry is now 2cm. Slow progress, but better than no progress.     The contractions are now 4-5 minutes apart. Much steadier than before and of good strength.     Sherry is now getting fluids.
11/10/2008 4:21:04 PM	The doctor should be by again to check between 5-6pm
11/10/2008 11:00:08 AM	Checked into the hospital. Sherry is 1.5cm and her contractions are about 2-4 minutes apart. Ariella's heartbeat is strong and ranging from 140-178.
