And after a scare of Josiah turning breech (below) at 31 weeks.. he is finally head down again!! Yay!
Last week, (33 weeks) I was told I had protein in my urine and was now considered pre-toxemic. I was put on even more strict bedrest and told that we *have* to get Josiah to 35 weeks (for his health & safety) and if my protein levels raise from 1 (where they were) to 5, then they would have to take him immediately to keep him & me out of danger. That was a scary appointment!!
I went back a few days later and praise God my levels hadn't risen!!
Now, at 34 weeks, I went to my appt (I am going twice a week now for extra monitoring) and had no protein in my urine this time. Thank you Jesus!! I know it is the many, many prayers surrounding me during this pregnancy!!! I did find out that I have started dilating too. I told the PA that I'm not sure if dilating this early is a good thing or not, but I am a little giddy about it!! I never dilated with Lydia or Elijah and as I pray and hope for a VBAC with this pregnancy.. dilation is a good sign it will happen!!!
Lydia & Elijah have been so sweet & gracious to me throughout this bedrest process!! They help me and demand that I stay sitting at all times, ha! They have been such sweet & selfless children (most of the time!) haha!!
Lydia was so excited when their Mimi took them to get a toy! She got some colorful hair chalk!!
She has said for a very long time how much she wants pink hair!! She's so cute!!!
After a difficult day I was really needing some quiet time. I sent Lydia & Elijah to watch TV in our bedroom. After a little while (and some nice quiet) Elijah comes out of our room like this!! He had raided my lipstick (of all things!!) Crazy boy!!! The funniest part of this picture is that the shirt he's wearing says, "Mommy's Little Tough Guy" !! LOL!
