5 years ago today! (July 22, 2009)

Happy Wednesday, Friends! :o) Well, FIVE years ago today I married my very best friend! I made the video with some of our wedding/honeymoon pictures a few months ago, but we are celebrating our anniversary today. Since I'm on bed rest and everything this year...we will be spending a lovely evening inside. Oh well...it has been raining cats & dogs all day. LOL! We're having homemade lasagna for dinner and Stephen got us a little cake for dessert. Yummy! :o) He asked me last night what I wanted for my anniversary this year. My reply was, "We're having a beautiful little boy in 5-7 weeks...that is our anniversary present this year." LOL! :o) Life's wonderful & I wouldn't change it for the world!

Have a great day!

Hugs,
Ashley

32 week pregnancy update! (July 22, 2009)

31 week pregnancy update (July 15, 2009)

30 week pregnancy update (July 7, 2009)

29 week pregnancy update (July 1, 2009)

It is gearing up to be a crazy rest of my pregnancy! I went back to the doctor Monday morning. Thank Goodness my blood work shows that my liver is still functioning correctly and I do not show signs of Preeclampsia at this point. But... I'm still at higher risk of developing it since I have been diagnosed with prenatal hypertension!!

So, I'm on modified bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy! I've been teaching Stephen & family how to fill orders and run the company since each and every week could bring something new for me. I go to the doctor weekly from here on out. I'm on blood pressure medicine now and we're hoping it kicks in and allows Grant to bake a while longer. The doctor said our first goal is to get to 34 weeks. Most babies born at that point do very well apparently. Our main goal is for me to make it to 37 weeks. I'm going to guess that Grant will be born the first week of September... if all goes well. So, I'll be doing what I can from the couch and bed. I can sit at my desk for short periods of time. I'll keep you posted on what else happens. Oh and I do not have to do the 3 hour glucose!! Thank Goodness for NO gestational diabetes! :)
