36 weeks

I'm officially nine months pregnant. It is truly hard to believe but I feel every minute of it. I am miserable. I honestly hate to complain because this is such a blessing-- I am in just so much pain, exhausted, can barely move, and these contractions are wearing me out.  I know it's worth it and all will be forgotten the moment I see and hold my baby girl.

I had my weekly checkup today. The appointment went well. I weighed 114 pounds (I've gained 3lbs in 2 weeks, opps). They did my Group-B Strep test and checked my cervix. Nothing has changed and I have not even started dilating yet... I only have two more appointments until my c-section and they went ahead and made them for Feb 25 and March 7. Not too much longer! Madelyn and I are still doing well; although, this mommy is ready to get this sweet little one out. David cleaned out the van spotless yesterday and installed Madelyn's carseat. We are ready so come on baby!

Happy Valentine's!

Thank you to all who pray for us. We greatly appreciate it. Please pray I can tolerate the pain in good spirits. If I go into labor on my own, pray I won't be in pain too long before they do my c-section. Please pray for a very safe, smooth c-section/delivery, a very healthy baby and mommy, a fast and easy recovery, as well as a smooth transition to parenthood for David and I and bringing baby home. <3
