Bed Rest

Hey Everyone,

This is going to be just a small update. I'm now 35 weeks 5 days. I had a doctors appointment yesterday. For the last couple of weeks I've been having lots of braxton hicks and lots of backpain thats been accompanying those contractions.  So basicly I've been enjoying the wonderful pains of pregnancy that come when your near the end. My siatic nerve on my back right side is also starting to act up. Anyway, so as I was in the waiting room at the doctors office I had a long wait and was contracting every 10-12minutes and they felt like to me they were stronger then the ones in the past and my back was killing me and I was so uncomfortable in the waiting chairs. So I was starting to get emotional and panicking a little bit as I was sitting there anxiously waiting to see the doctor. When I finally made it in we heard sweet little lexie's heartbeat and he checked me and I was at 1cm with my cervix still pretty high which was good news cause I wasn't ready to have this baby yet. He then told us at this point I pretty much can tell them when I want to have this baby, but I knew I'm not going to last long feeling like I do, plus my parents are going out of town this thurs-sunday and I still want to get maturnity pics done if I can and don't run out of time. So the doctor said to take it real easy so I'm pretty much on bed rest and we decided on an induction date of July 20th (I'll be 37 weeks, which has been my goal this whole time). That only gives me 10days that hopfully I can finish my planning, get pics done, and pick out Alexis's plot (which is going to be the hardest thing to do) as well as trying to follow doctors orders and take it easy and keep off my feet as much as possible. Lots is going to be going on these next few weeks, but I'm extremely greatful for my friends and family who have offered so much support and love. Love you guys! I couldn't do this without all of you. I truly feel all of your prayers and know they are truly helping me get through this. Thank you!
