Week 35

I hope you are having a great week and getting an opportunity to enjoy some of the beautiful Fall weather we are having this week. After all the rain in October the Sunshine is a welcome friend.

Last week was a rough week for me. I was just not feeling well and had some issues with Blood Pressure and swelling. As the week went on I started to feel a little better and was able to get rid of a little of the fluid I have been retaining. The full time bedrest really helped and I 'm doing pretty good and following the doctors orders.

We saw my OB, Dr. Bailey, yesterday. Harper is doing great and seems to show no signs of wanting to leave my body anytime soon. She continues to get bigger and bigger. We are measuring at 40 weeks right now. I'm only at 35 weeks so she is still one very big baby. I did manage to loose 1 pound of the 15 that I gained recently. I was hoping for more but at this point I'm just happy that I didn’t gain any weight. We have an appointment to see the specialist on Friday morning and will find out how much Harper weighs at that time. Chris and I are pretty confident that she's at least 9 pounds. I asked Dr. B if there was any chance that she induce us earlier then 11/23/2009 due to Harper's size and her answer was No. Only if the baby starts to show some sign of distress. She will let her get as big as she wants to. I also asked if I could come off full time bedrest and go back to modified bedrest. Her answer was absolutely not. I can go off bedrest once the baby comes.

I was able to get a H1N1 vaccination on this visit so that will ease my mind a little since I have been so scared of getting the Flu.

Chris finished the Nursery this week so I have attached some pictures.






Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.
