this is it!

Haven't updated this in awhile...

Last Thursday when I went for my 37 week appointment my blood pressure was higher than normal, the swelling in my feet was there all day/night, and I had gained 5 lbs in a week! That threw up some little red flags. Doctor suspected early signs of pre-eclampsia, so he had me stay home from work Friday & stay off my feet all weekend and we would see if things improved. Well went back in Monday and blood pressure was still up - so he sent me over to labor & delivery at the hospital to have further monitoring done. Thankfully my blood pressure went down so we were able to go home, but he went ahead & scheduled for me to be induced Friday morning. Since I've not dilated at all, they're having us coming in tonight @ 7 to give me cervidil which should soften/start opening my cervix. Then first thing in the morning I'll be checked and if I'm dilated they'll go ahead & break my water, and start pitocin. And then from then... we just wait for baby! Doctor said if he had to guess he thinks Kingston will be no more than 7 1/2 pounds. I hope he's right! I want him to fit into NB sizes!

Please keep us in your thoughts & prayers - God has seen us through this pregnancy with so many blessings, we know the delivery will be nothing different. Can't wait to introduce the world to Kingston tomorrow!

27 days!

As I really sat for a moment and thought about having this child in less than a month, I was completely hit with an emotional overload. I love this child so much and I've never even held him. I can not begin to imagine the love I will feel when I see Adam hold him for the first time. To see his little fingers grasp around Adam's... to see him look up at me... God is so good. I guess it's all setting in. Everything is ready for him - we're just waiting for our son. For our miracle. For our gift from God that I am so thankful. I thank God for this opportunity... to have cared for this child the last 9 months... and for the love and care that we will give him for the rest of his life.
