Even though Pierce is not here yet, we have a reason to celebrate. We have made it to 38 weeks. We are definitely in a safe zone. Thank you God! I saw my doctor this week, and she is surprised yet excited that we have been able to go this long. I can definitely say that bed rest works. Even though it was tough during the past two weeks, I am happy that we are in a good place. During the past two weeks, I lived day by day moment by moment thinking that labor was coming any second. We made it through lots of contractions, back pains, etc. :)
If Pierce doesn't make his grand entrance in the next week, then we are able to induce next Thursday, June 9 which is 39 weeks. Stay tuned, we'll let you know what happens.
This journey began at 25 weeks when I first went into labor. I am so thankful that this pregnancy has progressed to such a safe place, and I cannot wait to meet our little man.
Last week, I was told that I could go on one errand a day. The doctor lifted all restrictions on Tuesday. Even though I am not technically on bed rest any more, my energy level is quite limited. I will rest as much as I can and enjoy the next week. Before we know it, the time will come when it is time to head to the hospital. I am ready, excited, and cannot wait!
Stay tuned! We'll let you know when Pierce is here. I have my cameras ready, and there will be lots of pictures to share with each of you!
