i am so happy and thankful to say that this gruesome thing known as bed rest is doing the trick!!!! thank you God! monday i went in for my typical OB check-up and everything looks great with our sweet girl, weighing 2 lbs. 12 oz right now. and tuesday i had an appt with my specialist. lately ive been getting very nervous about going to these check-ups bc theyve only been filled with bad news. i have prayed and prayed that some how miraculously God would make my cervix better,which i didnt even think was possible, until yesterday when my doctor told me that my cervix WAS indeed better! Praise the Lord! it is so reassuring to hear that and know that my bed rest IS paying off! i couldnt have been happier, however, with that huge sigh of relief, we are now entering into a new problem.... for some reason, in the past couple of weeks my uterus has excess fluids. my doctor has eliminated all the serious causes which is GREAT, but the only concern now is if my water breaks, the immense pressure from the decompression of all the excess will cause the placenta to rupture too! so now i praying that if/when my water breaks, this is not the case! but other good news, my doctor thinks i will be able to carry full term (woohoo!!!!) and that i'll be able to keep little Gracie Girl in, until her daddy comes home from Korea! what an answer to my prayers that would be! Travis leaves next week for Korea and will be home April 18th, so pray Gracie stays in mommy AT LEAST until then!
i have to say that Travis has been an absolute rockstar these past couple of weeks! it amazes me what an incredible dad he is! and Grayson could not adore him any more! he absolutely idolizes him. he copies everything he does and i just LOVE watching the two of them together. its been an incredible bonding experience for them and i think travis realizes now how exhausting it truly is to be a mommy, but worth every bit of it!
in other news, quite belated, BUT congratulations to some of the most incredible friends out there, on their first little miracle in the making..... THE STURGEON'S. they will make the best parents and i cant wait for many playdates! Looking forward to another October baby!!! love you both so much!
i think there must be something in the water because an amazing number of people i know are preggers! i love it!
in other OTHER news, my prayers are with the Greer family, as Jill fights this battle of breast cancer. there is not a doubt in my mind that she will kick the cancers butt! she is so surrounded by prayers and love. it's amazing! praying continuously!
