8 MONTHS PREGGO

The first time you see 2 little lines [ | | ] it seems like you have FOR-EVER to prepare, to imagine, to wander, BUT you do not. When i woke up Wednesday (jan 9, 2013) I had a notification on my phone- "You have started a new week of pregnancy: 32 weeks" It hit me that I had breezed through 8 months of pregnancy.
Despite all of the complications it has been terrific! I would not go back nor trade one single day. It really is such a blessing. One that only the Lord is able to give two people.
I am expanding. I have 'dropped'. BUT the doctor said there were "no changes" as far as my cervix was concerned and we have the contractions under control. Praise report.

I had not felt Hayden move as much so, the doc decided to do an ultrasound just in case- He is very much breathing and moving around- just in the wrong place. He is breech again. Those of you that know me know my desire to have a more natural delivery (epidural included) than a c-section. However, the Lords will- will be done and I have faith and trust in that. He has brought Roy, Hayden, and me so far that I have no reason not to trust him.

Hayden is measuring 1 week 6 days (2 weeks basically) further along than me. We still have plans to stop the Procardia @ 34 weeks, get the steroid shots for his lungs to cover me from the 34-35th week and let him come @ that point if he is ready. (THATS only 3 weeks away, folks). Mama & Daddy are ready whenever the Lord thinks he is.

We have put some finishing touches on the nursery (still dont have all the pictures, misc. things completely up) & I am still working on my pinterest projects for his room! :)

Tid-Bits:

How big is baby? He is 4.8 (Four and a half pounds). MY little chunky nugget. 
Weight gain/loss? Up 2 pounds. My weight gain is around 14 lbs total this entire pregnancy. YAY!  

Movement: 

Hiccups @ night time, right about the time I get comfortable. I was feeling him down low. BUT I am thinking he may have flipped around (PRAYING PRAYING PRAYING) because I am feeling jabs in the ribs again. 
Symptoms: None @ all. Except the urge to pee ALL.DAY.LONG. :) 
Food cravings: Mexican food. I have had it twice this week!  

Belly button: Still an Innie

What I miss:   
Nothing. Everything I could ever possibly want is right here with me!

What I'm looking forward to? 

My next doctors appointment. I am so anxious about finding out if he is breech or has flipped back around. Plus, I love getting updates to see how well the meds and bed rest are working and i love getting to check on my little man.

Mommy reflections: 
I have been thinking a lot about how it is less than 8 weeks until his due date. This pregnancy has flown by and I cannot wait to experience birth, no matter the form it comes in, with my husband at my side. I cannot wait to hold my baby boy and love all over him! I keep envisioning how labor could be and what all can go on-but I know in the end the way it happens will be SO MUCH better. 


I am going to leave you with pictures of the nursery/my belly.

In the mean time please pray for 
*Hayden to move around from breech
*Patience for Daddy (he has so much of this).
*A job to come through still for Roy.
*Continued comfort for this Mom to be. 
*Peace, comfort, faith, and trust in the Lord to continue to cover Roy & me for the remainder of this pregnancy and until a job comes through for him.

32 Weeks & counting.

Love my Butler-Fest finds and the picture frames my friend Amy and my Momma purchased Hayden

Coming right along! Love my little snuggle corner.

Excuse the stool. Roy and I like to go into his room sometimes and just sit and talk. That is Daddys chair for the time being. :)

Until Next Time, Enjoy.
