Today's Appointment

I had another Non Stress Test and U/S today. Within 5 minutes, the nurse said that my baby had already passed the test, but we stayed on the monitor for the full 20 minute time period. My blood pressure was up slightly to a whopping 110 over 65. :) It was so low the other day that the machine had a hard time reading it! My U/S was just to check amniotic fluid. I did get a glimpse of the back of Karis' head though. The fluid level was still very good. The dr. said, "Your baby is hitting a homerun today!" Praise the Lord!

I am soooo glad that things are going so well this time around. I was terribly swollen and completely miserable from that at this point in my pregnancy with Gracie. I had already started my maternity leave because the only shoes that remotely fit my feet were my husband's size 11 crocs! Here's a picture from 3 years ago....

My legs and feet look nothing like that now! But, believe me, I remember the feeling, and can completely sympathize with those of you that are experiencing swelling!



It hit me today that Karis will be here 3 weeks from today! I can't wait to meet this precious girl that would have never been a part of my life without God's awesome, sovereign ways!

    you had little smokies for toes 3 years ago! ha ha. sooo cute! like barney rubble feet. ; ) before Karis comes, I think you should do one last post chronicling your journey to her -- because it was quite a journey!

    Yay! I am glad everything is going well. Your BP sounds just like mine. It went down to 96/58 for months and just recently it went back up to my normal 110/68. I kept being asked if I felt dizzy at times. But not at all. Any day now we will hear reports of babies being born...

    I've had high blood pressure throughout the entire pregnancy - and now, I'm starting to swell too! Not complaining though. :)

    I just realized that I hadn't commented on this post! Can't believe Karis will be here next week. So exciting! I am praying like crazy that Keller will come this week, but I have the feeling she is going to hold out : ) We're in the homestretch now!
