Well, I have officially been on bedrest for 15 weeks and 6 days (not that I'm counting) but we are excited to announce that the end is in sight and more excited that we will soon be parents! We went to the doctor's last Friday and were told that we will be having this baby in the next 3 weeks. . .it's crazy to think how soon that is (just for those who might not think that is a short amount of time, you'd be surprised what a couple of months on the couch will do to your whole perception of time. . .it kind of warps it!) Our baby is still on the smallish size. . .because of my condition he is not growing as fast as he should be, but everything else is okay and we figure we can fatten him up once he's born. We feel it's a miracle that I've been able to carry him for so long (I should be about 37 weeks when he is actually born. . .which is really good!) and we have had so many wonderful blessings throughout this whole pregnancy. . .we can't wait to meet this special little baby.
One thing we have been extra blessed with is wonderful family and friends. . .so many people have come to visit me and keep me company and have brought in meals. . .I don't know how we would have done this without everyone's help.
Nicole, Heather, Jana, and me. These girls took work off and came and spent a 'bedrest day' with me. It was wonderful. . .we watched 'North and South'. . .the ultimate chick flick!
I'm also lucky to have such a great husband! I'm sure no one thinks their first year of marriage is going to be so crazy, but Roland has been so great through all of this! He works all day and then comes home and takes care of me. . .I think he should get some kind of credit in med school for this for sure! On top of it all. . .he still finds time to work on the apartment!
We are happy to announce that we (meaning Roland) have finally finished renovating the downstairs bathroom. . .Meet Dr. Fix It (it's the guy under all the dust!)
