Getting close

And getting SO ready to be done. Now don't get me wrong. I LOVE my baby. I LOVE feeling her move around. I LOVE the joy knowing that I am BLESSED to be able to have babies. But I know one thing, I don't LOVE being pregnant. Its HARD. It maybe that my poor body hasn't had a break in a few years now. After moving back to Bend I lost 30ish pounds. Went through a STRESSFUL year. Got married. My Dad got VERY sick, and my body SHUT down. On the up and up, I got pregnant. I am TIRED. I am not complaining. I know in God's perfect timing she will come, I get it :) but I am not saying I am not going to encourage her ;) Its been an interesting past few doctors appointments. At 35 weeks my blood pressure was up... concerning them for a bit. And these past few days, my hands have been feeling more and more swollen. (hence, I am not wearing my wedding ring :( which I hate! ) but last night I went to bed with my left hand ACHING and my are feeling just kinda numb and dead. I assumed in was water retention, and I would be ok in the morning. NOPE this morning I woke up with it hurting real bad. YUCK. Crying I tell Jesse all about it. (thank you Jesus for an amazingly patient and loving husband) After calling my doctor... I went in to make sure my BP wasn't up. Sounds like I have gestational carpel tunnel. Ouch and Yuck. :( Needless to say, I love my baby but I am so ready to have my BABY and not be PREGNANT. 

Thankful for it all. Truly. 

Soon enough our sweet baby will be here!! Just got to keep remembering that. 

The GREAT news, when I went into the doctor yesterday I was already 1 cm dialated and my cervix was SUPER soft she said. Told me she could feel her head. WHOO HOO. The best part was she told me before she checked not to be surprised if there was nothing because I have yet to have contractions, and being a first time Mom, its not abnormal to be sealed up tight ;) So much to both of our surprise, as my doctor said, I am coming along WONDERFUL for a first time Mom. 

Can't wait sweet girl!!
