2 weeks and counting...

As of yesterday I am 32 weeks pregnant, they are going to deliver the baby at 34 weeks via c-section. I can't believe I've been in the hospital for two weeks now, it's getting harder and harder just to sit here. I finally got to go outside yesterday for 15 minutes after being stuck inside for 14 days, it felt so good to feel the sun on my face! They did an in depth ultrasound this morning and the baby is approx. 3 pounds 15 ounces, which is really good. Hopefully by the time I deliver the baby will be well over 4 pounds.

It's amazing to think I've been in the hospital for 2 weeks already (giving the baby time to grow) but it's soooo hard to think that I have at least 2 more to go!!!

Have I mentioned how incredible Kyle as been?!?! He's been running back and forth from Riverside to Orange taking care of the dogs, working and taking care of me. I'm sooooo lucky to have such a wonderful husband! "Thanks Babe!"

31 weeks!!!

So we hit a big milestone yesterday, 31 weeks!!! It's day eight of me being in the hospital and I'm getting a little restless, but reaching 31 weeks yesterday is well worth sitting in this hospital bed everyday. I pretty much have an ultrasound and blood drawn on a daily basis, it's nice now being able to get out of bed to shower and use the restroom. I wouldn't be able to survive without all of my visitors, phone calls and text messages-"Thanks Guys!". I know my blog entries haven't been very "in depth" but I do what I can, I haven't really been in the mood to read & write lately. I'll do another update in a few days... Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers!!!

Baby update...

Thursday morning I started leaking fluid so I called the Doctor and they sent me to labor & delivery to have my fluid checked. To make a very long story short they admitted me and said I won't be going home until the baby is born. My water had ruptured and my fluid levels were low. They won't let me go past 34 weeks, but most likely the baby will be here way before then. I'm 30 weeks and 3 days today, the baby is approx. 3 1/2 to 4lbs right now. All the Dr.'s are very optimistic that a 4 pound baby will do just fine, they have given me steroids to help develop the baby's lungs. I'm on tons of medicines and complete bed rest.
I want to thank everyone that has come by to visit and for all the gorgeous flowers, you have no idea what it means to me.
Oh and I have to mention how great Kyle has been, I couldn't do this without him. He is such a trooper driving back and forth from Orange County to Riverside to take care of all the animals (whom I miss so much!).
I'm getting a little sleepy so that's it for now, I'll write more later...

Fire /Police Moto Oct. 5th & 6th

Kyle did another fire/police moto race on Monday & Tuesday, we took the trailer and camped overnight at Glen Helen raceway. This race was extra special, it was in honor of Ted Hall, one of the firefighters killed in the Station fire back in August. On Monday all of Ted Hall's family & friends were there and everyone did a memorial lap in his honor.
It was nice to get out of the house for a couple of days. The weather was perfect. Kyle took 3rd place on Monday. He was having problems with his bike on Tuesday so he didn't do as good as he had hoped :( Overall he had fun, and that's all that matters!

29 weeks!

Okay so my due has changed yet again! They are now saying that I'm due December 23rd. So I am 29 weeks today, only 11 more to go (that's if they don't change my due date again!). I'm feeling pretty good most of the time, I still have my "not so good" moments. I have trouble getting comfortable at night, and sleeping has become somewhat of an adventure. We got the results back from our last ultrasound today, everything looks great and the baby seems to be doing good. I finally caved and went and bought some maternity clothes, who knew they had such cute stuff! So far I have gained 17 pounds, I don't know if that's good or bad so if it's bad don't tell me hahahaha. Here's an updated picture of my baby belly...

Updated baby picture...

I had another ultrasound done on 9/25. My Mom keeps asking me to post a couple of pictures, so here you go! The baby kept sucking it's thumb, it was so cute.I have a lot more pictures but these were the ones I had downloaded to my computer. Enjoy!
