Hey,

So I go to the doctor tomorrow to see whats going on with me! lol....I have so many contractions every day but they always seem to stop. I'm glad that they haven't put me into labor but they sure are a pain in the butt! For the past few days I've been having a hard time breathing. That usually only happens when i have contractions but it's been all day. They are going to run some test on me tomorrow to see what that might be. For some reason I think I will have Jackson on July 15Th, but yet I'm thinking if i dnt start feeling better I'll have him by the 4th! I would be ok with a little firecracker. So anyways I'll update everybody after i see the doctor tomorrow..............KEEP THE PRAYERS COMING!


LOTS OF LOVE CANDICE BROOKE

ALMOST HERE

Hey,

Well I had a doctors appointment on Thursday and all went pretty well. Rob didn't get to make this appointment, but will be there the next time for sure! Now when i go to the doctor they hook me up to the monitors to see how much the baby is moving and if I'm having contractions. So they put me on the monitors and guess what....i was having contractions! I had no idea. Jackson was moving like crazy and i had been feeling really uncomfortable but hadn't noticed the contractions. I have them everyday so you would think i would know. So since I'm already dilated and was contracting consistently they went ahead and checked me. I was still just a 1. YAY! This means the contractions aren't dilating me. During the sonogram baby Jackson was wide awake again. He was sticking his tongue out alot! He's already alot like his daddy Rob lol....He has some fat cheeks to! I go back to the doctor on Wednesday July 1st. This is the day i get to meet the Studdards! I can't wait. They are a family that i met online that were pregnant with twin girls. One was diagnosed with CDH and the other little baby was just fine. I talk to Stephanie the mom on the phone and by text all the time. Wednesday her girls will be 2 weeks old! Kamryn is the baby girl with CDH and is doing amazing, and Brooke is at home now doing wonderful. So needles to say I'm extremely excited about meeting them. Shawn the dad does a wonderful job of keeping their blog posted! Thanks Shawn! He is also a wonderful daddy taking care of those girls. Well until next time...................


WE STILL NEED ALL THE PRAYERS WE CAN GET! iT'S GETTING SO CLOSE!

Fast update

Hello,


Well I haven't posted in a long time so i figured it was time. I have been contracting for a week now and am dilated to a 1. I was so surprised to find out that i was dilated at all... i mean it was six weeks before my real due date. They gave me a shot and my contractions have been controlled for the most part. I'm so big now and i just can't sleep, but Monday I'll have 4 weeks until Jackson gets here, so i guess that's just what comes with it. My doctor was going to keep me in Ft. Worth for the remainder of the time but i looked so good and the contractions aren't dilating me anymore that he let me come home. I just have to take it easy. I go back to the doctor Thursday. We still need all the prayers we can get so please keep praying! I am getting sooooo nervous.

My doctor appointment (6-4-09)

We went to my doctor today, and everythings just the same. No news at all! I was kind of bummed. I guess it's good that it didn't get worse though. Everything about me looks great and everything about the baby is looking great. Well he still has CDH but he's growing and sucking the heck out of his thumb. We had a 3D sonogram today and the whole time he was sucking his dang thumb. It was really cute. Oh and while he was sucking his thumb his other hand was holding on to the cord! It looked like he was just hanging from a rope with his thumb in his mouth. There was one thing that was different at this appointment, instead of being head down like he has been for 3 months now he's head up rather then at my pelvic area. The doctor says he can still turn but he's really big and I'm not sure about that. Lets pray he does because i don't want a c-section. I will post some sonogram pics as soon as i get to a scanner that works. Thank you everyone for all your prayers. They are very much needed.

We don't have to go back to the doctor for 2 weeks, so that's good for us considering we have to drive almost 3 hours to get there and 3 hours back each time. After this next appointment i go once a week. Monday i will have 6 weeks left! Yay, getting close! We still haven't done the room yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yikes, what are we thinking?????! So much to do!
Lots of love everybody
