Update

An update from my 39 week appointment yesterday. My blood pressure was up significantly and I had gained 4 lbs in one week, which leads Dr. New to believe I am retaining water and starting to show signs of preeclampsia. In his words we need to "get this show on the road." So we are going to the hospital tonight at 9pm to "get the show on the road." In trying to cater to my wishes of a natural pregnancy, they are going to insert a medicine that will hopefully help progress my dilation and send me into labor, (best case scenario) If this doesn't work, he will break my water or we may have to resort to pitocin. Whatever the case may be, I am just praying for a safe and healthy delivery for both Hayden and I. Please keep us in your prayers throughout the next couple of days!

I saw Dr. New today for my weekly appointment and he checked to see if I have dilated at all. He said my cervix was very soft (which is good) and that I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. Really this doesn't mean anything or predict anything, just that Hayden is definitely getting ready. He is in the perfect position, head really far down and with it facing towards my back. I am having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions and lots of pressure, but nothing consistent. I continue to pray that he comes within the next week and a half before Dr. New goes on vacation! But most of all I pray for patience, and a safe and healthy delivery for both Hayden and I whenever that time may be!

What a wonderful and productive weekend. Friday the girls from work threw me a baby shower and showered Hayden and I with lots of fun stuff! All of the last little things that we had not gotten off of our registry as well as the cutest clothes ever!! I have truly been blessed to work in the facility that I have been working in the past two years with such wonderful women. I have not only learned sooo much professionally but have gained lots of friends that I know will last a lifetime. I am so sad we did not get a group picture from the shower, I totally meant to! Anyways, thanks to all of you girls for everything, the shower was so much fun and Hayden is definitely going to be stylin! I am so blessed to have each and every one of you in my life! I also look forward to joining the play dates!!
The rest of the weekend Justin and I spent cleaning the house, assembling all of the baby gear, washing all of his clothes, and putting the finishing touches on his room, all it needs now is the little guy! We are so excited and can't wait for his arrival. Please keep us in your prayers the next several weeks as we just patiently await God's plan for his arrival.
Here are some pics of the final outcome.

34 weeks!!

Today I had my 34 week appointment with Dr. New. Everything continues to look good and Hayden continues to grow, grow, grow. I go back in 2 weeks and then weekly after that! Hayden and I had a shower in my hometown this weekend given by some of my mom's best friends. It was alot of fun, very laid back and relaxing. We opened presents, ate homemade ice cream and then hung out by my mom and dad's pool. Hayden got lots of cute summer stuff including a little swim suit that looks like it will fit him right when he comes out of the womb!!

One year down, an eternity to go

This past weekend my wonderful husband and I celebrated our one year anniversary. We went and got a couple's massage at a spa in Fort Worth, which was very nice and relaxing. Saturday night we went to a nice dinner at the new restaurant on the top of Reunion Tower call Five Sixty. It was really fun, with an amazing view. The ball made about a revolution and a half while we were there. The view of downtown Dallas is really awesome. We reminisced all weekend about the memories we had from Jamaica and how much fun we had one year ago. I feel so very blessed God put Justin in my life. He is all I could ever dream for in a husband and this has been the best year of my life. Now we are so excited about adding a new member to our family and couldn't be happier! God is good.

A couple of my favorite from one year ago!

George, George, where for art thou George

This weekend we went to see one of mine and Justin's all time favorite country singers, mr. george strait at the new cowboys stadium. The stadium was absolutely ridiculous!! These pictures definitely do not do it justice. We were up in nosebleed seats, but that doesn't matter cause you can see every detail on the 20 yard line to 20 yard line jumbo-tron!! I'm not kidding when I say you could almost see nose hairs!! Here are a few pictures.
