Check out how swollen I am below the knees…. WOW!!!

Sorry I didn’t do a very good job updating last week because we were moving but I am happy to report we are all moved in. I had a Doctor’s appointment last Monday and my cervix was 50% thinned and my belly had a growth spurt. I had another Doctor’s appointment today and I am dilated 1cm and my cervix is ready and she has dropped. I could tell she had dropped this past weekend just by the way I was feeling. My belly measured to a more normal measurement today. They did another ultrasound again to see how big she is and she is weighting over 7lbs. The Dr was very happy with her weight. My feet and ankles have been swelling so badly but I still have a normal blood pressure. She thinks Kelby will be here within the next 2-3 weeks. John and I are getting so excited!!! Kelby’s nursery is just about done. I just have a few things to hang on the walls to make it complete.

We had another showe this past weekend. We are so grateful for all of the gifts we have received for baby Kelby from both showers.

34 weeks

We are 34 weeks today!!! We can’t wait to meet our little girl!!! I haven’t had a very exciting week. I have been on bed rest since I left the hospital last week. I did manage to get all of Kelby’s things washed which was about 12 loads. I went to the doctor this past Monday and everything still looks great. The doctor keeps saying I am all belly so she hasn’t been concerned with my weight gain. I still haven’t dilated any. They are taking me off of my medicine which prevents contractions this weekend so nature can take its course.

John and I are moving to Benbrook this next week so it is going to be crazy around here. My feet have been swelling so bad all I will be able to do is prop my feet up and watch John move not to mention I am not supposed to do anything. Thank god for such a wonderful husband!

A Baby Giant

32 Weeks 4 days


Where do we begin….. John and I have had a very eventful week and it’s only Tuesday. It all started when I went for my normal check-up yesterday Aug 3rd at 9:30 am. I didn’t feel any different from any other day. My doctor went through her normal list of questions and let me know that my blood pressure and everything looked great. Then she asked me my concerns. I told her I was a little concerned because Kelby had not moved as much that morning as normal. I told my doctor that I had taken Benadryl the night before and thought maybe that was why she was not moving as much. Just to be safe the doctor hooked me up to the monitor for 20 minutes where I was in a room by myself. I felt Kelby moving around like she should be and when my doctor came in to check the monitor she noticed I was having contractions every 2 minutes. I was in SHOCK!!!!




I was sent to the hospital for observation where they gave me medicines to help slow down the contractions. While I was there we did an ultrasound. It showed that Kelby is weighing in at 6lbs and her growth development is at 86%. A normal baby at this time normally weighs between 3-4lbs. Our due date is still Sept 25th but the computer’s due date is Sept 3rd based on her development. We weren’t as shocked about her weight since John and I both were big babies but we were still pretty shocked. They admitted me into the hospital last night at 6pm. Kelby’s weight was the talk of the nurses station. The good news is that everything started to finally slow down last night and I have not dilated at all. I was sent home tonight. I have to start my weekly Doctor appointments on Monday. My doctor still wants Kelby to stay in the oven for another 2 weeks. After that she said she won’t stop anything.
