36 weeks Friday..

Well it is official.. I am off work and at home! I went to the doctor on Monday and I will be 36 weeks on Friday... I am on bedrest and return to see him on Thursday! My blood pressure was slightly elevated and I am retaining some fluid. Piercen is still breech so we scheduled my c section for January 5th. I have 16 days to go and I have to take it easy. I am just praying that this rest will help! I was a little discouraged as I left the office to have things stacked against me my entire pregnancy and get this far and this happen when indeed its been such a blessing! I know and trust the Lord knows exactly what he is doing.

My husband ---- WOW! He is so amazing... He is finishing my last min shopping and taking care of me. I am so blessed. You should feel the same about yours too but as I always say he is best guy in the world! We are both so excited to meet our son but want to make sure I try my best to get to 38 weeks.... pray for us! I appreciate all the emails, packages and gift for Piercen. You guys are all such a blessing to us! I hope you have a blessed Christmas. I am going to get to sit back, relax and just take it all in.

Amanda, my favorite number is 7!!! I wish the 7th was on a Friday... I am a little nervous that he will only be 38 weeks and not 40 but.. I trust my doctor. My bp was down today thank the Lord. My hubby is shopping for me as I speak! Hope you have all your shopping done and no swollen feet after baking this week! Praying for you!! Ps. my brothers b day is friday too and it is also my parents anniversary... we both have busy months in dec and jan!!!

I have never had a baby at 40 weeks, never had one past 38. It will be TOTALLY FINE! It will be wonderful!!!!!!!!!! I am a little jealous. I wish I was a little closer to that date but that would not be good since Josiah is on the 7th. I can't wait for your son to be born. It will be wonderful and I can't wait to be there for you when you have 100 questions. We all do!
