Baby Update

I thought I would give a really fast update on how things are with the baby and myself. Things are so very good at the moment. Lee keeps telling me I am going to have to be induced at 42 weeks. I keep telling him to shut his mouth cause I cant imagine that :) Last week we went to the Dr and my infection levels were at a 23 they were threatening that if it didnt go down they would have to induce. That day they went down to a 20 they had said at the time as long as it doesnt go up at all then they would not do anything to cause baby to come especially since Lee was away. Yesterday when I went my CRP (infection) was down to an 11. OH MY WORD!! What a blessing. Baby's heart rate was down. My Blood Pressure was normal, temp was normal and all other checks were normal. What a blessing. My iron is very low and I have been put on iron tablets but come on probably over half the women who are pregnant have to be put on iron tablets that is nothing. I can cope with that.

I was talking to a great friend last night and we were talking about pregnancy pains. And I was telling her that every pain, every bit of uncomfortablness I smile and though I may say Man I dont really feel well I say it with a smile because it all means that I am still carrying my precious cargo. I have no room nor do i want to complain. I would never want anyone to think I was ungrateful because 8 weeks ago I didnt think I would get this far or have a chance to feel these pains. What a blessing each and every pregnancy discomfort is.

I was also thinking yesterday how on today with Spencer he was 1 week old and I still hadnt held him. We didnt get a chance to hold him until he was almost 2 weeks old. But I everyday at the moment I am carrying this baby. And knowing that I am one day closer to being able to hold her when she is born. That is amazing. I am so blessed the Lord is really blessing us.

I thought I would post some pictures of Spencer and his early days. I love looking at them and seeing how developed he was and that our baby is that developed too.



This is Spencer at 7 days old. We were finally allowed to touch him and he had his first sponge bath. This is the exact Stage Cienna is at today.



This was my first cuddle with Spencer he was nearly 2 weeks old at this stage. So this is where Cienna will be next week at some point.



Another one of me holding Spencer. He is completely formed and all his organs working well. He was such a fighter. His siter is the same way.
