After some pre-term labor symptoms, I have been on bed rest for going on four weeks now. We are so thankful that baby has stay put and we have made it past the 34 week mark.
Here I am at 33 weeks:
Oh yeah, we Pearson's grow 'em big. Baby is measuring about a week ahead, as I have with my other two. As my OB noted at my last appointment, this is what happens when a Great Dane marries a Chihuahua. We had a good chuckle over that one.
Being confined to my bed has been extremely boring tough, but I am again reminded that we are so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives. I don't know we would do this without all of the support from our family and friends. We have had both of our parents doing an amazing job helping out with the kids. Cleaning our house, making meals and spoiling our kids rotten with all kinds of fun activities and special attention. Friends in town have brought us meals, special treats and gifts for baby, and also helped out with watching our kids. My friends and family farther away are always checking in with me, keeping in touch and praying for our little one. And of course, Jeff has been amazing stepping in as super Dad to take over the normal morning and bedtime routines. We are truly blessed.
I don't think it will be long now as I am certainly running out of room for this babe to grow much more. He is currently doing a number on my ribs with what I imagine are some sweet some little feet kicking away.
Thanks again to ALL of our treasured family and friends from near and afar who are praying for our family. We feel it!
