THE GREAT ADVENTURE
Well considering I don't have much to do other than watch TV, read and surf the net, I thought I would take the time to create a blog, so I can provide any updates on our growing family.Most of you probably know that the last few months have been quite the journey and not one that I am ready to re-embark on anytime soon... meaning my original idea of wanting my children close in age , has changed...hey my brother and I were 5 yrs apart and we turned our alright!
Anyway to make a long story short, Marc and I found out in March that we were expecting our first child. The pregnancy started off great... I was convinced I would be SUPER PREGNANT WOMEN... would continue all regular activity, maybe try a little exercise (ya right), would have no problem maintaining my full time job and throw the odd dinner party on the side. Well week 6 approached and Super Pregnant Woman lost some of her powers. I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst and the vomiting began...for a few weeks I was a passenger on the porcelain bus!
But with all that behind me work continued as normal and Super Pregnant Women retuned. However, not too soon after she was defeated by the uncontrollable beast "Irate Uterus". This beast would not back down and continued to fight until Super Pregnant Women was no more! At 20 weeks I was diagnosed with an irritable Uterus... believe it or not it is an actual clinical diagnosis. The way I describe it, my uterus is allergic to pregnancy. Since 20 weeks I have been having regular contractions every 7-12 minutes. Needles to say I am getting quite the ab workout.
As of today I am 29 weeks and 1 Day, I am on strict bed rest being allowed to get up to go to the bathroom and have a shower! I had a dr's appointment yesterday and they say the baby is doing very well and is measuring ahead by one week. Last Thursday I had an ultra sound and they are guessing he weighs approx. 3lbs 3oz. During yesterdays appointment we were also told that they are expecting baby to arrive in the next 2-3 weeks!!! So with that news comes some fear and excitement. Fearful as it is about 7 weeks too early and our boy needs a bit more time to develope, fear that I will soon have to face LABOUR, but excited that we will soon meet our little Boy!
So with all that being said. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts. If you wouldn't mind continuing with the prayers it would be greatly appreciated. Right now we are praying that this little guy will get comfy and stay put at least until 32 weeks as well I am praying that it will be obvious when I am going into labour...I really want to try to cut back on the amount of trips to labour and delivery.Thanks again for everything... and stay tuned for more updates and pics!!

Oh Natalie...I can't express how sorry I am for everything you are having to endure. All of this will fade when you hold your precious baby boy...but until then we will PRAY!! Pray for perfect health for your little one, and perfect peace for you. You still look absolutely adorable pregnant!!!
