I went today for my final NST, and all continues to go as planned. I will be going to the hospital on Monday night so they can start softening my cervix. I am softening and am about 1 cm right now. So that means 5 more days!!!

Update on bed rest...

OK bed rest pretty much sucks. It is not that lying around the house making your husband do everything that is bad. However, having little to no human contact is awful. It has been two weeks now and I am not looking forward to next week. Good news though, my labs continue to be good as well as the NST, Landon continues to do well. The doctor has decided to schedule me to be induced on March 31st, so only one more week! Nothing else is going on...well especially since I am on house arrest.

Jealousy..thy name is Diesel

Well, Landon is not even here yet and Diesel has began doing defiant acts which appear to be...jealousy! Yesterday I gave him his dinner and after he ate he ran towards the stairs. I got up and followed and before I reached the bottom of the stairs I heard the sound of him urinating. As I reached the top of the stairs, I saw the spot directly in front of the nursery. Andy and I assume that he does not like the room because it is off limits and when he is allowed in he gets into trouble for chewing on or scratching things. I have heard from others that this is similar behavior to what other dogs have done when a new baby is introduced to the family. I cannot wait until Landon gets here and see what Diesel will do.

Landon at 35 weeks

Today, Grandma Sanderson joined me to another ultrasound and NST. Landon continues to do well and has a strong heartbeat. His weight is 5 lbs 3oz, they are estimating that he will be about 6lbs and change when he is born in 2 and half weeks.

Here is a new photo of his profile.
This is my favorite photo, you can see his little nose and lips. Looks like he is ready to eat!

Bed Rest

Well, many of you know that I have been put on bed rest since last Friday. My blood pressure has spiked a couple of times (168/104) and the doctors are concerned about preeclampsia. Today I took my BP and it was 128/76, almost my normal BP, I guess it is working. Best of all I haven't gone crazy...yet! The doctors say that they want to make it to 38 weeks so Landon will be here by the end of the month. That means I have 2 more weeks of being home. My doctor said I just need to be resting and at home, so I am glad that I am not stuck in a bed all day which helps. I am now getting 2 non-stress tests a week along with blood work and a doctors visit.

Yesterday at my appointment Landon continues to be moving well with a strong BP. The doctor also checked my cervix and it is barely at 1 but is softening. Also, she said that Landon is head down, which I figured. I think he is still lying on his side since I am getting kicked and punched ALL the time on my left side. Tomorrow I am getting another ultrasound which Grandma Sanderson is coming down for. Luckily there is not supposed to be ice or snow so it should not be a scary adventure for her like last time!

Shower and Nursery

The shower was great. We got a lot of things for Landon and I feel like I am finally getting ready for the little guy.

Here are some photos of what the nursery looks like. It is still a work in progress, but I think it looks great!
