Meet Jocelyn Focha Ricks

Jocelyn is finally here! I'll write more about the experience later but I wanted to put up some pictures for those who don't have Facebook. Jocelyn was born Tuesday, December 7 at 10:27pm. She weighed 7 lbs 8 oz and was 20 in. long. We are all doing great and are just glad to be home with baby and that Grandma could be here to help out so much while we get used to this new life. Anyway, without further adeau, here is Jocelyn.

Don't worry. There will be more to come!

"Babies Everywhere!"

So our little bundle of joy has decided she isn't ready for the world. Her due date was yesterday and at my doctor's appointment they said I was still only dilated to 1cm (like the week before). They also wouldn't be able to strip my membranes because I was still in a posterior position and my doctor said if she tried, I would be in tears. So we are waiting for another week. I am scheduled to be induced next Thursday, Dec. 9th. I'm hoping she still comes earlier than that but apparently she has her own time frame. I guess she'll come when she is ready. The good news about waiting a few extra days is that I'm able to get over a cold so I can fully enjoy her when she does decide to join us.

Anyway, here are some pictures of her little corner in our room. I painted the "J" and made the name sign. I got the idea from a friend. Enjoy and pray that little Jocelyn comes before next Thursday. It would be much appreciated. :)
