Doctor's Appointment

I had my 35 week doctor's appointment today, which consisted of several things...including checking to see where the baby was and everything. He is head down and my doctor said I should begin to feel contractions more now. I love how they ask you if you've had any, yet. I, along with many first-time moms, can only respond with "I don't know." I mean, yeah, I've felt them before, but that was only due to dehydration and over doing it. Since then, not much. But it looks like activity will begin to pick up. His heart rate is at 154, which is perfect. My blood pressure was a little higher than normal for me, but they weren't worried. They assured me it's because my body is nearing the end and is getting to the point where it's tired and ready to go. The carpel tunnel is causing some hand problems with holding things, but hopefully that will go away after the birth. My cervix hasn't opened, yet, so he's not about to pop out...even though it feels otherwise. The doctor said that was probably because he keeps turning his head from side to side. I think that about covers the results.....

Raun's work threw us a shower this afternoon and it was fun to meet everyone. We have been so overwhelmed at the amount of people supporting us. We just look around and thank God that so many people are going to be walking through this new journey in our life with us. It really is amazing. He definitely fills our every need...and then some. Thank you guys who have always and will continue to support and encourage us! We need your prayers and love!

Until next week....
