OMG...I'm having a baby tomorrow.
Well, I am feeling a little nervous and very excited today. I just wanted to say that I love you all very much and am so blessed to have so much love and support at this wonderful time. I love Michael so much, and I'm so lucky to have gotten all of your love along with his. I can't wait to make a million more memories with all of you that include our little boy!
I Love You! See you soon!

Hello All,
Just in case you didn't get the info of the day:
The doctor said that I am still 3cm and 75% effaced...I go back for one more appointment on Monday @ 3:00, and depending on how much I've progressed at that point we are going to decide on a day later in the week for me to be scheduled to come in...I guess he wants to go ahead and induce me since I am already dilated so much. So, unless something happens in the meantime, I will be able to call you all on Monday and let you know when to plan on coming! Everyone please pray that it works out that way, because I will be really really happy to be able to schedule it while my Doctor is there. Plus it will be so much easier for everyone to know ahead of time...
Anyway, hope you all have a wonderful week, and we will see you next week sometime!
Love,
Jordan, Michael, Chase and Joey

Updates via Text Message on Jordan and Chase
Everyone - I spoke with Michael this morning and we came up with an idea to communicate information about Jordan and Chase when she goes into labor...
He will call or send me text messages and I will in turn send them out to everyone else...
As you can imagine it is very difficult when he is receiving multiple calls and text messages. This will allow him to focus on Jordan and the baby...
I know that you all understand... love you Mama

updates...
Hello All,
I just wanted to fill all of you in on all the details of the past few days events since I haven't gotten the chance to talk to you all. I woke up Monday morning throwing up and then started having contractions that were pretty painful and got very regular...only about five minutes apart for a while. I ended up getting an appointment with another doctor because mine wasn't in, and she said I was four cm. dilated and sent me to labor and delivery to be monitered. When I got there they weren't for sure that I was in labor, and said that oftentimes having contractions doesn't really mean you are in labor. The main thing they look for is cervical change, and my cervix didn't change at all the whole time I was there. (In fact, another doctor said I was only 3cm). Anyway, it was a good thing I went, because I was really dehydrated and had two have almost two whole IV bags before my ketones were low enough to go home. Anyway, I woke up this morning still getting sick, so the Doctor called me in some phenigran (sp?) which helped me finally get some food down and then I slept all day (which is why I didn't answer my phone if any of you called...I was completely knocked out for about 5 hours). I have eaten again, and hopefully am out of the woods with the stomach virus or whatever I have had going on, and I plan on going back to work tomorrow, hopefully. I have another appointment at 3:30, and I'll post another update tomorrow. Sorry we didn't get to call everyone from the hospital...I just didn't want everyone getting all excited and starting to come down here without knowing if I was actually in active labor. Anyhoo...I just wanted to make sure everyone is completely filled in, and I will try to call all of you back tomorrow! Love You and see you soon!

*Baby Showers to Come*
This is your official save-the-date for baby Caden's showers!
If you're in Arkansas, you are obligated to attend the one on February 27, starting at 3:30 pm. My mother-in-law & mother are putting this on at the Frantal home in Cabot.
If you're a Texan. Well, I'm sorry to hear that. (JK, JK) You have to be at the one on February 20. I will let you know the time whenever I find out. It's hosted by Aunt Sandra @ her home.
Put these in your calendars, people. The pressure IS on to be there, lol. That includes you little Chase. So get your booty out here, because you will be the guest-of-honor. :) :)
Love you all,
Kera

Baby Chase Report
Hello all,
We went back to the doctor today...I am efaced, but he didn't say exactly how much, and I'm almost 2cm dilated! He said this means I could go into labor any day now, but it could also still take a little bit. He didn't seem to think we will be making it to the 29th. He also said that I'm very lucky because I'm not even supposed to be dilated at all by this point. Typically first time moms don't start dilating until they are much closer to their due date. He said I am in the top 5 percentile of new moms. Michael seemed surprised, but I reminded him that I'm usually in the top 5 percentile of everything I do! Just kidding of course...kind of :-) Anyhoo...take this as your warning: You are all on RED ALERT! Be prepared for a phone call anytime now, day or night! In further baby news: I am having lots of braxton hicks contractions, heartburn, back pain and general discomfort. Also, I am FREAKING OUT about the fact that I am going to be giving birth and getting a baby sometime in the near future!!
The only other bit of news I have is non-baby related...I started back to work this week (only until the baby is born), and yesterday my boss asked me if I want to start teaching freshman english classes in the fall, which I am very excited (and scared) about!
LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH!
Keep your phones on!!!!
Love,
Jordan, Michael, Chase and Joey

Cold in Fayetteville!
Well, I am sure it is really cold everywhere, but it is especially cold here! Boston has been sleeping inside the past couple of nights. He has definitely been enjoying all the time spent in the house!
I am so glad it is the weekend. Even though I got two days off of school this week because of the weather I still feel like my winter break ended too soon!
Bobby and I went and saw "Avatar" on Wednesday night. It was amazing! So good! I really enjoyed it.
Nothing monumental happening with us.....just living life!
:o)

Baby
Hello all...
I'm sure most of you have already gotten the memo, but just in case...
We went back to the baby dr today, and Chase's head is down and I am dilated 1 cm! That doesn't really mean much...it could be like that for weeks...but, it could start happening any time now, I guess. I had a few Braxton Hicks contractions on Saturday and Sunday. We go back to the dr next week, and I will let you know of any change then or anything that happens between now and then! In the mean time, keep your phones on!!
