35 weeks!!

35 weeks and getting huge, well at least feeling huge! We started the 35th week with a big family brunch. The IF's came up for brunch with me, my husband, my kids, my parents and the IF's. It was so nice to have my two families together! We had a great time introducing our kids to the dads and they loved putting faces to names and stories of the IF's. It also didn't hurt that the dads brought them all Christmas presents that they got to open and enjoy that day. We then took a quick ride over to the hospital to show the dads where we will be when the time comes. I showed em the entrances and the floor where we will deliver, my work at the NICU, and the floor where we will all recover and enjoy Ms. Charlotte. It made it all really real for all of us. I know that they want me to hold out till after Christmas and I hope that happens for them but I don't think it will.
 I have been feeling good. But there are times throughout the day and night that I feel that she is so heavy and just gonna fall out anytime. Like tonight I have been having this feeling that anytime I stand up my water is gonna break and off to the hospital we will go. I have had some contractions for the last few hours but nothing progressive so I continue to hydrate with lots of water and rest rest rest. It is just so hard because I wanna hold out longer but I know that my body and Charlotte are on their own time frame. What does amaze me is that with all of the technology in baby making why can't the doctors tell us exactly when she will be here?

  1. Marcie, This has been so great to read as you have been on this life affirming journey! Your heart for others (this couple) is just amazing and I am thankful for your blog as it has touched my heart to watch this come almost to an end. I will be praying for a smooth and healthy delivery for all involved and for an easy transition into fatherhood for them and for recovery for you! XOXO
