Since my last post was on January 7th, I am long overdue for an update, and a lot has been going on since then. I honestly cannot believe how fast the time has passed! In that post, I was beginning to find peace about having to stay at home, and was starting to get some things done around the house to keep myself busy. I was 27 weeks at that time, and my blood pressure had become somewhat lower and more stable. I am currently 34 weeks, and am thrilled to say that my blood pressure has been low since my last post (except for one spike that sent me to St. Mary's for an observation, but it actually lowered while I was there, everything else looked great, and I was able to go home a few hours later.) My mom delievered me at 33 weeks. I am thankful to have made it past that mark with no signs of Preclampsia. All the glory goes to God and to the many prayers that have been lifted up for this. I am so thankful!
I have come to enjoy my time at home (most of the time.) I still miss my class and hate not being there with them, but I definitely see that God had a plan for my time at home, and I am thankful that I have had it. It's hard to believe that in 39 days (or less) our baby girl will be here! It's becoming even more real.
In the last few weeks, I have finished the nursery. Josh is still working on a shelf to put under the window. I can't wait to see it complete. We have had three baby showers so far and have gotten lots of wonderful things for Eden and for the nursery. I have also gotten lots of cleaning around the house and tried many new recipes.
Now we are just counting down the days and waiting anxiously for Eden's arrival.
