Alex and I went to the doctor on Monday of this week and had what should be my last ultrasound to check the cervix and to measure the baby. The cervix has held it's own and the baby is measuring right on track. The baby now weighs 5 lbs 11 ozs. It was moving around like crazy and as it has done everytime we have had ultrasounds the arms were right in the face. The baby is hiding, not really wanting us to see what it looks like I guess. It was grabbing onto its feet too. After some pushing around on my belly a little bit by the ultrsound tech, we were able to get one halfway decent profile picture. The baby looks so chubby. I am sure it is just the 3D image though. I gained another 2.5 lbs for a total so far of 16 lbs. I go back for a follow-up in two weeks at which time I get a good ole strep test done. That doesn't really sound like fun to me. Unfortunately, I have been experiencing more frequent trips to the bathroom especially in the middle of the night. Not getting much sleep. I also still have lots of swelling and now pains in my left hip (it was just my right..now both) along with lower back pains. I went to the chiropractic today and they made me feel good for a while, but the achiness is back. I do much better if I don't walk. I keep telling myself that all of these aches and pains will be well worth it when I can hold this little baby in my arms. 27 more days!!
Prayer Request.....
I just recently found out that some friends of mine who were due to have their first child May 5th ended up delivering their son March 19th. Mason Ryan was born 7 weeks early weighing 3 lbs 1 oz. He is currently in the NICU, but appears to be progressing well. He is now 4 1/2 lbs and has moved to a crib in the NICU. I just ask that you keep my friends Ryan and Carrie as well as little Mason in your prayers. We know God works in miraculous ways. We pray that Mason will be able to go home with his parents very soon. God Bless Ryan, Carrie and little Mason.
