Let the countdown begin....

We finally have a date to when Charlee will be making her big arrival!! I had an appointment and non-stress today.....have another appointment on Thursday and non-stress test......FINAL ultrasound on Monday.....and into the hospital on Tuesday afternoon (Feb. 2nd) to be induced!! So by Wednesday Charlee should be here with us!

We are so excited for so many reasons! Excited to see the light at the end of the tunnel....to have me back into the action of things.....to get into a new "normal"....most importantly to meet our little girl! It has been a looooong hard wait for Chris and I. I love to be on the go and am really having a hard time right now being stuck in the house....but knowing that the big prize is so close does help!

We spent the weekend "spring cleaning" the house and throwing away things and bagging things up for Good Will. It feels so good to have it all done! I guess that Chris and I are both nesting right now =)

So hopefully soon we will have all kinds of great pictures and news to share!!

One year later....

I can NOT believe that Chris and I have already been married a year, but I also can NOT believe that it has only been a year since we got married! =) I would have never guessed that one year later we would be waiting for our first baby to get here, but I am so excited that we are!

We did get to go OUT TO EAT last night for our Anniversary!


It was so nice to be able to get out of the house to go somewhere together besides the doctors office or the hospital. Since our Anniversary is being spent cooped up in the house, we've already decided we will make up for it and go somewhere next year.....Grammy, you may even get to babysit =)

Since I don't have any wedding pics posted on here, I thought I would throw some in here. I'm sure I'll spend a few hours today looking back at Wedding and Honeymoon pictures! So, enjoy!

Being married has been even greater than I thought it would be! I can't imagine not spending the rest of my life with Chris. I am so blessed!! He is an awesome husband and I know he is going to be an awesome dad! I cant wait to see what the next 50 years has for us!

Charlee's Room

Since I am stuck on the couch, Chris had to put Charlee's room together by himself. He did a GREAT job though and it is as ready as it is going to get before she gets here.

Getting everything painted.

Bye-bye pretty orange....hello girly pink

I admit it....Im a terrible blogger

My last post was in October, so yeah, I'm a little behind. Since then we have celebrated Thanksgiving, Christmas and had a lot happen in our pregnancy. So just pretend like I posted about all that Holiday goodness =)

At the beginning of December we went for a regular checkup with the doctor and found out I had high blood pressure and some protein. They ran some test and found out that I was the lucky winner of some Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (pre-eclampsia). Soooo I got put on strict bed rest.....I am allowed to go to the bathroom and that just about covers it. Our doctor wasn't too sure we were going to make it to 34 weeks and prepared us that we may be going to Little Rock for delivery. Since I have been such a great patient =) and have had so much great help from family and friends....I am still on bedrest and will be 34 weeks on Wednesday!!

I have had Non-Stress twice a week, and many doctor visits and lab work. We've also had 2 Biophysical profiles done on Charlee. This is pretty much just an Ultrasound that measures the size of her organs, her amniotic fluid and her growth. We found out after her 2nd one that she is going to have very long legs (measured 2 weeks earlier than her due date) and that her abdomen is not growing as it should. So we are supposed to have another one of these this next week and if it shows that she is still not growing properly, then we will be meeting our little bit within the week!! Dr. Watson said this is just due to the fact that because of my high blood pressure, my placenta is not giving Charlee all the nutrients she needs, so she can grow better on the outside than the inside if this doesn't change.

So pretty much, I have been off work for over a month, and have spent wayyyyy too much time in my house! I know it will all be worth it though when we finally get to see her!!
