baby drama...

As I write this, I am sprawled out on the sofa with my feet propted up and the tv on...you are probably wondering if I've gotten my days mixed up. Yes, I know it's Thursday morning and I was suppose to be at work at 7:30am - instead, I'm still in my pj's and the house is quiet....it's called bed rest...not my idea of fun or what I had planned out for this pregnancy. Now I've come to terms with the fact that this is a different pregnancy (like we always hear - "every pregnancy is different"), but this is so completely different. The doctor has been wonderful and we are all working on a "one day at a time" mentality. We've had our crazy scares over the past two weeks (her head is pushing down the birth canal constantly - so impatient, who does she get that from??!! - , I've started dialating fast and am almost completely thinned out, I'm having minor contractions that even the shots can't stop - I had two of those last night & now have to take the pill form every 4 hours in hopes it stops them - , bed rest and weekly monitoring are just to name a few!). All in all, we feel truly blessed to have this pregnancy and to know that Kendall is VERY healthy (whew!). I will be kept on bed rest on a weekly basis. We will re-evaluate each time I go in...there is no guarantee bed rest will stop this determined little one, but each day helps:) Thank you all for you phone calls, support, prayers and words of encouragement and wisdom. I value each of you! It has been an emotional and stressful ride, but the Lord has provided in many ways and has reminded me of his love and sovereignty.
