A Little Update on Sadie!

Well, I went to the doctor yesterday, and got some good news and bad news. Warning if you don't like hearing words like dialation, then don't read this. So I went to the doctor, to get my weekly check now that I am in my last month. I had been feeling pretty cruddy lately. I was having lots of braxton hicks, and I could tell her head was dropping into my pelvis. So, I told the doctor and he checked me. Turns out I am already dialated to a three and her head is well into my pelvis.

Let's just say that Dr. Fern was not very happy about this, she isn't quite full term, so if she was born now she would have to be in the hospital for at least a week to make sure her lungs were developed. Which, I really don't want, I have had a girl in the NICU before and it was not FUN! So he said I had to try my hardest to keep her in me for at least a week and a half if not two weeks! So how do you keep a baby in you for that much longer, when she obviously wants to come too early? STRICT REST. My doctor said to lay down for most of the day, no lifting, no housework that is strenuous, no anything!!

Which is very frustrating, because I have been feeling very good this pregnancy, but I don't want her to come early. So my house may be messy and my kids unkept, but I am going to try my hardest to make sure this baby girl is full term. My husband put is perfect, when he said," Did you ever think you would be put on rest so that a baby could stay inside of you?" Never in a million years!! I always want them to come early, but not this early.

Sorry this post is so long, but I am trying to curb my anxiety by writing it down. Happpy Thanksgiving everyone. Let's pray I make it to the first week of December.
