31 weeks down, 63 days to go!


What a week... or should I say month. I've had a cold from hell since Presidents day, which in turn made my blood pressure go up. My Dr took my blood work to make sure everything looked fine, which it does, and now that he finally gave me a antibiotic and I received a blessing from my dad my cough is just about gone and my blood pressure is back to normal I went into my apt yesterday and my Dr decided to put me on bed rest anyways.. just in case. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! I've got almost 9 weeks left until baby is supposed to be here, I have a nursery half way finished, no crib, a full time job a husband that's going to school full time and working part time, and a house that's getting messier by the day among other things. 
Thankfully I work for an amazing company that is letting me work from home, HUGE stress relief! I've got great friends and family that are willing to help with the nursery and house work and a fantastic husband that has made sure {through this whole pregnancy} that I have what I need and I'm taken care of. I'm not very good at sitting around doing nothing, so its nice to have work to do during the day, and while I'm taking it easy and just sitting on my couch most of the day, I will be getting up and stretching my legs every few hours and walking around the house.

In other news, baby is the size of a pineapple! She's around 16 inches long and weighs almost 4lbs. She's finally starting to kick A TON, and she even got the hiccups the other day. As excited as I am to get her here, I don't want her to come to soon! Dr said to probably plan on delivering a couple weeks early which would be the first part of May and would be perfect, no sooner then that though! We've got baby showers and maternity pictures to think about!
