31 weeks

I went to the doctor on Monday. It went well. I gained 3 POUNDS in a week and my belly grew 3 CM! Crazy! Baby Q's heartbeat was great and I was pleased even though I gained that many pounds..Oh well! My next 3 appointments will be on Tuesdays. I went back to physical therapy this week and saw her twice in 2 days. She said she could tell why my back was hurting and gave me some relief! She is awesome! She was also kind enough to buy a sweet little dress for Quinn, which I thought was super thougtful.

My Gran has been in the hospital since Wednesday and I am hoping she goes home soon. My mamaw hurt her wrist and has to go to the specialist and I am hoping her wrist gets better without surgery! Today, we found out that there is a tsunami warning for Hawaii and I am worried for my sister's safety. I hate that I can't protect her. However, she is an adult now and I often forget that. To me, in my mind, she is still 14, not 22. Well, I hope everyone has a great weekend. My baby party is next weekend and I am very excited to see my family and friends and of course, get presents! : )

Take it easy...

This week has been a drag. I went to the dr on Monday and she gave me some not so good news. She wants me to be on bed rest as she is afraid that baby Quinn may try to come too soon. I can not do bed rest..well not for 8 weeks that is! At any rate, I have to SLOW down. I really feel fine. I don't think my baby feels fine. I am having lots of pressure and braxton hicks...which is annoying. The doctor seems to think that the baby has dropped as I am measuring at 28 when 2 weeks ago I measured 29. I also lost a pound instead of gaining. After the valentine's meal Mike and I had at Mo's on Saturday, I should have gained 5!!

I am just hoping that next week will be what we have been waiting for. I pray that the letter comes from Chrysler saying that Mike goes back to work on March 1. We keep hearing that is supposed to happen. But then again, you can't always believe what you hear. Mike going back to work would be the answer to our prayers.

As for me, I plan to take it easy. I have dinner plans on Saturday with some old friends. It should be good times.

Thankful....

I wanted to start out by saying how thankful I am to be able to carry a child. I may complain... A LOT..but the truth is, I am very grateful. I would just like these last 9 weeks to go by fast. With Fallen, if she isn't feeling well, I can SEE that. With this precious baby that I am carrying, I can't tell that. The unknown petrifies me. So much, that I think obsess about it. I don't want to be the one calling the doctor's office every 5 minutes. Then again, I don't want to overlook anything either. I am very grateful that I can count on my mom at all hours of the night....

I may post a picture later this week. As for now, I am on bed rest until Wednesday. I have plenty to do around here and never enough time to do it. Now would be the perfect time...but Doctor Brazus said I need to relax and take it easy. I will do what she says as QUINN needs to "cook" just a little longer.

beautiful

She is so in love without even meeting her. This picture says it all.
