Countdown has begun...

Well, we are officially on a countdown to baby being here. I hit the 35 week mark this past Wednesday. A few weeks ago my blood pressure was extremely high and I was instructed to go home, drink water and rest. I was also sent to a specialist to keep a close watch on Kennedy's growth for the last few weeks of this pregnancy. So every Monday is now spent getting 4D ultrasounds (glad I paid 100.00 for this a few weeks back and got zero good pictures and now get one every week) checking her weight and growth. Every Thursday we get to see our regular OB practice that monitors her heart to make sure she is not in distress. I am on blood pressure medication and modified bed rest until she makes her grand entrance into this world.

Which could be sooner than later.... Right now she is doing great and I am doing great. However, they will continue to monitor me to make sure that I don't develop pre-eclampsia. At 37 weeks we will look to see how things are going and determine then if we will induce or allow her to come on her own.

Which doesn't seem to be anytime soon.... Regardless of what my mom and aunt think, she has not dropped at all. After my check the other day it seems as though she is not ready to come on her own which is actually a good thing. Although her chances on the outside world are really good at this point, I would love for her to come when she is good and ready. Reality is that my blood pressure will probably not go down any further than what it is currently and at some point we will have to pull the trigger and get this baby out.

All of this is a little nerve wrecking for me. It's crazy to think that I could have a baby in my arms in less than 2 weeks but definitely no more than 4. WoW!

So until then I will continue to lay on the couch, fold laundry, watch a Baby Story like an idiot and catch up (judge you) on YOUR life on facebook.
