37 w 6 d...AND WE HAVE A BIRTHDAY!

Wow, I simply cannot believe that this pregnancy is almost over with! While I struggle to stay positive and be happy 90% of the time, I really am going to be sad when I cannot feel this peanut moving inside of me anymore. This peanut who went from weighing nothing to weighing almost 7-8 lbs in the matter of 38 weeks! Holy cow! If you do not look at pregnancy, childbirth and the final product of it all (the baby) and don't believe in God... personally and honestly, I want you to come talk to me. What a stinkin miracle! This whole process didn't just happen by chance. It happened because of God and his almighty power to create a human being from two different people. It simply blows my mind away every time I think about it. I will take one look at that baby and praise God because it's from Him that all blessings are from! I will also look at that baby and wonder how in the world did you fit inside of my belly. :)

So, at my appointment today my blood pressure was back up a tad. Well, it's up from what it's been this whole pregnancy. We went to the hospital Sunday night because of it, the swelling in my feet, and headaches. But wouldn't you know that after a few hours of resting in the bed it went back down, there was (thankfully) nothing found in my urine or blood work so we were sent on our merry little way to grow another week. Yup, a week from today we will be back at the hospital being induced at 5 am! Am I nervous? Heck yes I am! And please pray for me because I am SOOO nervous about having 2 kids. I am scared that I won't have enough time with each, I'll neglect someone along the way or that Reese is going to hate me for bringing a sibling into this world. Please pray for him, I know he will struggle at first and please pray that he does not rebel and hate everyone around him, including the baby.
Even though I've been through this before that doesn't mean I'm super woman and I know all of what is going to happen. But I do know and trust that God will be with us and will make sure that all is well and we are taken care of. We look forward to finally meeting this little boy (Luke Alan) or this little girl (Addyson Ann). I'm thinking a boy. Soooo...if you are reading this and come to the hospital while he/she is being born I'd like for you to wear pink/blue which ever you think we are having. I was going to have Rhett come out in a colored shirt of what we have, but I think I'd rather him just come out and say. Who knows. I'll leave that one up to him. So...if I don't write another blog until then...just know that I am off enjoying and soaking in every last minute I have with it being just Reese, making him feel like he is something special, and treating him to whatever he wants to do these next few days. Just ignore my ankles when you see them because they will be an ugly sight!
