Weekly Update

35 5/7 weeks - Well, we made it another week! After last Monday, I wasn't sure we would, but we've had a pretty uneventful week on bedrest (imagine that), but that's the goal - to be as boring as possible. Friday night and Saturday I had a lot of contractions, but they eventually got better by Saturday afternoon. Thanks, Melissa, for coming over to be my personal nurse! We had another OB appointment this morning. I'm dilated just a little bit more than last Monday, but not a lot, so that's good. She said 4+cm/almost 100% effaced. Hopefully we can get at least another week or two in. After our OB appointment, we went to the perinatologist's office for another BPP (biophysical profile) and passed with 8/8. AFI (amniotic fluid level) was normal again at 15.86, so those are all very good things. Other than that we have all our bags packed and ready to go. My mom came up on Thursday to help me do some things around the house and run some errands, which helped out a lot!! And both my parents came on Saturday to check in and my dad finished our tax returns for us - yeah for tax refunds to help buy baby furniture!!! Kenny's mom and dad are coming up on Tuesday to visit and bringing lots of good home cooked food for us. I can't wait for the turkey and noodles! Well, back to my couch for now, hoping for another boring week. :-)

Hey Jennifer,
That was good news about your visit today. After speaking with Cheryl yesterday I was worried that they may be heading to KC earlier than Tuesday. She told me all about the Turkey she had been cooking. Lucky you, she got all of mom's cooking skills. I know you are being well taken care of by Kenny and the rest of your family. I just keep praying for a March baby. Take care and try to enjoy some of that wonderful daytime TV. HAHA. Love Gail

You are in our thoughts!!! Bed rest yuck but is the best thing for you right now. I was on partial bedrest with Bryden it is boring but I miss the rest now since things will be so busy after the baby comes but wonderful. Thanks for the updates this blog is so wonderful, keep us posted and your feet up and head high!! Christal Casey & Bryden Crane

Hi guys,

Sorry you are on bed rest. There is certainly nothing to watch on tv. Maybe you can get caught up on all the DVDs out there. You certainly won't have any time for that after the baby is born. We think of you both often and continue to keep you in our prayers...all 3 of you. Take care

Love, Lori and Roger
