So obviously I cant sleep, I have been up since 2 thinking about how far we have come in over 7 weeks and was just so excited and feeling so blessed I can not sleep... So I had another doctor appointment yesterday and she was very encouraging. I want to start off by saying that right when I get there the nurse always asks me how my week was and so does the doctor, and I told them both that last week I bleed SO much!!!!And Saturday after bleeding for 4 heavy days I prayed and prayed and prayed that I would quit bleeding at least for Mothers Day and I did...Prayers answered!!!They both told me to do what works, keep praying!!!Isnt that encouraging!!!!Prayers are working...
My non stress test turned out good-baby reacted as they hoped for so that is great and I gained 1 pound in 1 week, so right on normal(at least 1 thing is normal)She still feels I need to gain more weight so she told me to go buy protein shakes and start drinking at least 1 a day. So if anyone out there knows of one and flavor thats good please let me know. My patients never liked them so I am nervous about having to drink them... So babys good, I am good(as good as I can be), so good, good....1 more week down.(literaly 1 more week we made it and 1 week laying down-haha!!)The doctor sat with me and just asked how I was doing. That was so great becuse I feel like its baby,baby,baby all the time and dont get me wrong I know why its baby all the time, but it was just so nice for her to be concerned with how I am doing and feeling. She said that she is proud of me and how far Ive come. Im with her,I think that I have accepted that I can go anytime and am ok(today-everyday varies)for the most part. I feel so very blessed the good Lord brought us from 24 weeks to 32 weeks...Isnt that amazing? Its a miracle....I figure if I go today,I got 7+ weeks in since diagnoses and that's HUGE!!! So I do feel so blessed today and just cant sleep.
So I am thinking I need to start getting prepared for a baby-I think I am getting mentally ready and am freaking out a little. I have put off the whole what do I need because I feared the worst, but today I am hopeful, so time to start thinking about it. My dear friend Jaline is throwing me a baby shower this Sunday. Bless her heart, she has been such an amazing friend through out the years...She is a giver all the way....She is one of my strongest rocks-everyday she calls me,worries about me,prays for me, she is just one of those people that I dont know, that you just feel that God has placed in your life,she is just a true blessing.. So I am so looking forward to an outing and to see all of my dear friends and family, whom I love so much and have missed!!!!And the food is going to be amazing!!!!Tucker's sure know how to prepare food....So on another note my husband has noticed I have been freaking out about not having baby stuff-so bless his heart he went and bought me a changing table/dresser and he surprised me with a stroller carseat combo yesterday!!!!What a great man.... He knows this whole not shopping thing is killing me. I mean how many times do you get to go shopping for baby stuff? And since God has such a great sense of humor with placing our children 6 years apart....So shopping begins(online) and I am feeling less anxiety as 1 more thing is checked off my list of buys. Well 2 I guess.. What an awesome man Mike is!!!! Love him to pieces!!!!
So I wanted to give you all an update on the doctor appointment. And tell you about how blessed I feel today. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and support, I could not have made it this far with out any of you so thank you, thank you, thank you.....
God is good!!!!!!
Thanks for the update! I am so glad you have come so far. This baby is sure to be a fighter. Watch out world! Continuing to pray for peace and strength as you go through this final waiting period.
