Alrighty, 39 weeks! I can't believe it!! Since I'm a little late on posting this, I am already almost 40 weeks... Tomorrow. The 39th week has been interesting to say the least. Went to my doctors appointment on Monday... Had high blood pressure, shocker! She told me to come back on Thursday so they could recheck it and make sure everything was okay. I went to my doctors appointment on Thursday with a doctor I had never seen before in my practice. I guess I was super nervous and they were freaking me out because it kept going up every time they rechecked it. So he ended up sending me to labor and delivery at the hospital to be monitored and get blood work to make sure everything is okay. I really did not want to do this... But followed my doctors commands. Steve and I took all our bags in case they needed to induce me (blah!) and headed up to the hospital. Well, 3 hours later... We were discharged because my blood pressure was fine over and over and all my blood work came back normal. Imagine that! I am glad we went though because I feel a lot less nervous about the real day now! It was nice to know a little of what is going to happen when we get there and get used to being monitored! The Lord knew I needed a little preview! :) I also stopped working per my boss' recommendation on Wednesday. I thought just hanging out at home the day before and of my appointment would help my blood pressure, but I guess not. Now I'm just relaxing and waiting on sweet Ellison to make her arrival! Oh how amazing that day will be!!! :) Here's a pic Steve took of me while I was being monitored.. Don't I look so excited?! Haha!
Oh we also had our amazing friend's, the Jones' Annual Christmas party on Saturday night which was a lot of fun! Here are a few pictures from the party!
39 weeks and 21 weeks with our sweet girls
Love these friends of mine, a few had already left by the time we remembered pictures!
It was interesting being so big and pregnant this year!! Crazy to think we will have an almost 1 year old next Christmas party and the Jones' will have an 8 month old! How fun!
Well, we are just waiting and waiting on our little girl to arrive. I can't wait... I'm just trying to be patient... So hard! I AM thankful for the peace that The Lord gave me through the whole monitoring situation.. I feel better about my blood pressure and also about the actual day I go into labor! Praise The Lord! He knows what He is doing and it's way better than my plan. Trusting Him in all of this... Especially her BIRTH day! I guess that's all, here's a picture of my big belly at 39 weeks, hard to believe I have a WATERMELON in my belly, well actually I can totally believe it with how uncomfortable I am, HA!...
I'm over the questions... So I'm not doing them anymore ;) I guess I have reached that point in my pregnancy... Just ready to have her!! :)
