34 Week Update, Bed Rest and Ultrasound Pictures

Last time I posted we were just halfway there! Now we are counting down the days! We are expecting baby Grate in 2 weeks and 6 days. This is just a little earlier than we anticipated, but last week I found out I have Pre-Eclampsia and I am on strict bed rest until delivery which will most likely be at 37 weeks!

I was put into the hospital last Sunday and they gave me two injections of steroids called Celestone to develop the baby's lungs, so that baby will be as ready as it can be whenever it has to be delivered. I was finally able to go home on Wednesday.  

Now I get to go to Non Stress Tests (NSTs) twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays. At today's appointment baby G was doing great, but I was having contractions every ten minutes. I am starting to make some progress and when I am checked again on Monday, if  I have made more progress it could mean more time in the hospital for me or that we will have a baby really soon!!

A few weeks ago we had a 3D/4D ultrasound done, here are some of the amazing pictures of our little baby:

Baby G's room is almost complete! Thanks to our friends and families baby has everything here waiting for his or her arrival! So Thankful to everyone who is bringing food, running errands, staying over when Andrew works, and helping out! We are so appreciative and can't wait to welcome a healthy and beautiful baby!!

Maybe now that I am on bed rest I might be able to post on my blog more often!! :)
