I’ve been to the doctor today and all is well still. Baby was feisty as ever when the doctor was trying to hear his heartbeat. I’ve changed just a little but nothing unusual for a 3rd baby at 34 weeks. My doctor feels fairly confident that I’ll go two more weeks (sigh . . .) which is good news for Jackson. He is very low and pretty much engaged in my pelvis and for that reason I’m quite uncomfortable. Thankfully, being on bed rest, I can be horizontal most of the time and relieve that pressure.
I’m thankful for the prayers that must be going up for me to be patient and accepting of the situation because although I’m beginning to really wish for the end of this I am also very content and not unhappy to be home bound and required to stay off my feet. Going to the doctor today was pretty tiring and quite a challenge so I know I’m right where I need to be.
We are also very thankful for our church family who have pulled out all the stops to help us keep this baby cooking. We’ve had meals delivered to us this week, our house has been cleaned last week and an offer for the next cleaning extended, we’ve had people come and get our girls in order to take some pressure off of Matt, and lots of offers to run errands and do anything else we can think of. We’ve also had our yard taken care of for us. I know this is God working through others and I am so humbled that He would do so much for my family. I know He cares for each one of us right down to baby Jackson and is using our church family to show His love for us. A special thank you to my mother-in-law, Pam, who was here 3 days this week and “righted the ship” as Matt says.
