36 weeks aka This Weekend's View From My Bed


We have had alot of help for the past 7 weeks from our ward and Steve's family which has been wonderful. My parents are in town now so we are happy campers around here. Papa has been fixing things and wrestling with boys, my mom has been cooking and washing baby girl clothes, and Steve is putting together the bassinet as we speak. Fun, fun!


We did have another visit to the hospital on Friday (I promise, people. I am not this dramatic. My pregnancy, however, is a total drama queen), and were this close to having baby. The nurses were afraid that the bleeding and strong contractions were due to my cerclage tearing my cervix (yikes, I know). My doctor was out of town, and I was super nervous about being under another doc's care with all my crazy history/complications. After some tender mercies, we were sent home, stabilized.


It's been a good weekend besides that. Here are some of the snapshots of my vantage point:


Trev and Pres made me some lovely artwork and then post-ited them on my nightstand. My handsome husband's weekend scruff as he watched this: LDS General Conference. Such inpirational and comforting messages.
Gavin entertains me at the footboard.
Vrooooomm.....
Zooom.....


We are so aware of God's blessings as I lay here, still pregnant and no longer afraid that we will have a preemie baby. She could now come at anytime, so maybe we'll have a baby by next week!

I'm grateful you continue to have tender mercies. They are always there if we choose to recognize them, aren't they? Happy your parents are there with you now.

I look forward to seeing this little one!

Woohoo! 36 weeks is so awesome! Oh, and I love the window pic. It needs to be framed.

36 weeks: You made it! Your baby will be full term. What a blessing. So glad you are hangin' in there...good luck with labor/delivery/postpartum. Can't wait to hear from Moll how it all goes :)
