Well the midwife made an incorrect prediction. It's Tuesday, and Baby K is not here yet! It was a long weekend of waiting and wondering, but I have learned that God is in control. I just need to keep myself busy and not think about it every waking second of every day!
My wonderful sister-in-law Mindy took me to an appointment today, since Tony couldn't get out of work. The midwife said that everything is still looking good. We're just waiting for the consistent 5 minute apart contractions or my water breaking. Baby was very quiet this morning, so they did some monitoring.
I sat in a small room for 30 minutes while they tested Baby's heart rate and my contractions. They did some stress testing to make sure Baby was doing just fine. It took awhile to wake Baby up, but in the end, everything looked great.
Then they took me to the sonogram area and checked amniotic fluid levels. Everything is normal.
SO, they sent me on my way. I'll be heading back next Tuesday unless Baby K is here.
To make this post a little more interesting, here are my Instagram photos for the past week:
Social media has this neat thing called Throwback Thursdays. I decided to join in this past week and posted the next 3 pictures to Instagram.
Here's Matthew, Jacque and myself at Oxbow Park.
Me looking at my new baby brother.
Jacque, Grandma and I made a new soda concoction one year on the 4th of July. We decided to all share it!
Tony and I tried out Wildwood Sports Bar and Grill. It's connected to the Ramada in Rochester. I'd say it was delicious. You have the option of ordering just a 1/2 sandwich, so it was perfect for me!
Tony's co-worker made us this baby blanket; Sol was breaking it in for Baby K.
T and I went on a double date with the Miller's on Saturday. I even did my hair and make-up for the event. It helped to pass the time while not thinking about Baby K.
On our double date, we went to Chuck E Cheese and played Skee ball. We had a great time!
How can you not love this adorable little kitty. Sol is my snuggle kitty now!
I was laying on my mom and dad's couch on Sunday and realized I could barely see the tips of my toes. Can you spot them?
Luna was all up in my personal space today. She likes to sit right on top of my tummy.
Megan had a concert at school tonight. She requested I fix up her hair. Here she is before she headed off to Bonner!
I just tried Wildwood for the first time last weekend. I give it 2 thumbs-up, too!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the baby belly picture with no toes,or almost no toes showing.
ReplyDeleteGlad to read you are doing well. May God continue to give you the strength and patience you need!
ReplyDeleteBe patient! Our son took his time until 41+3 days but came out just fine. He's now 7 weeks old.
