7 weeks to go!

Wow...7 weeks doesnt sound like that much...when I think about 7 weeks, that is less time than I was on bed rest, and when I look back on the last 7 weeks, that seems like yesterday! So, I am super excited, but so nervous at the same time. I am very nervous for preeclampsia, since my blood pressure has started to rise...I know I worry too much...I cant help it! I am trying to eat healthy and relax. Moms out there...in the last weeks do the kicks get stronger or weaker? I read all different things. I mean there is less room for him to move, so I dont know! Sometimes he moves like all day, and others he moves once in a while, so ofcourse I get scared! I have an OB appointment on Monday, where I will be hooked up to the fetal monitor again. Then on thursday, I have an ultrasound to see how he is growing. I cant wait to see him again. Not sure if I will have more ultrasounds after that...guess it depends on how he is doing and how my blood pressure is. Please pray it goes down!!!!

Bradyn's room is coming along. The finishing touches are being added. Then Bob will put up the crib and dresser, and then pics will be up! I finished my sailboat paintings and I also painted a sail boat and a sailboat picture frame for the room. I still need to finish the letters of his name, but Joanns NEVER has the D. Makes me kinda mad!!! My dad is making the swing shelves, because by no means was I going to spend $70 on something that could be made for $10! My dad and Bob are both really good with wood, so it only makes since to have them make certain things.

The only thing we are missing is the cradle. The family cradle was given to my sister when she was having my nephew. He is going to be 9 in December and my neice, who also go to use it just turned 6...wow how time flys. Bob and I really should have gotten it from my sister when we moved, but it wasnt something that was exactly on our mind at the time, and never imagined we would be in the situation where we wouldnt be able to get it. I love my sister, and she can be a really great person, but she has really dissapointed me. She said it would be sent down, but that was over a month ago. I guess we are going to have to get a new family cradle. Makes me sad to think she can be so cruel knowing all we have gone through to get this little bundle of joy. Oh well, I am trying not to stress over it, but it just really makes me sad to think that she doesnt feel it is important enough to send down. So, I am going to let go...because this little guy isnt being born to continue the arguments...and he certainly isnt going to care if he is in that cradle, as long as he is near his mommy and daddy, thats all that counts...he will be loved no matter what!

Praying fro 7 weeks of healthy pregnancy and healthy blood pressure!!! Thanks for all of those who have prayed for us...it means so much to us! Thank you!
