Oh, look at that precious little face! I am so in love with her already and can't believe I'm almost through with my pregnancy. It has been full of lots of ups and downs, lots of scares, but it's been worth it all. I can't wait to see that precious little girl in my arms!
There's lots to update since my last post. My sweet friend Macy threw a shower for me and Miss Ady in July and we had a wonderful turn out. Lots of people drove in from Louisville and my girl friends came in to shower us with lots of love. It was a GREAT day! Here are some pictures to recap:)
The precious cake Macy and her mom MADE!
Ady's first Cinderella doll :)
Caden trying on one of Ady's bows!
Favors for the shower :)
Joseph's work surprised him with a shower a few weeks ago. He was in complete shock (as was I!). They got us the swing, diaper bag filled with all kinds of necessities, wipes, and the boppy. It was so thoughtful of them:
Grammy is working on the Boppy cover made from the same material as her bedding, and then put her name on it :)
I've gone a little crazy with her hair bows. I think now she has about 50 of them. (I know, I know). But, I found a girl who makes them from Georgia and here are some she made, plus a cute little outfit she threw in there for a surprise :)

Well, there's good news and bad news. The bad news is I've been placed on bed rest since August 13. I had two days with my kids at work and both nights when I came home my feet and ankles were huge! I assumed it was just from being on my feet so much. The second night I decided to go to Kroger and have my blood pressure checked. I checked it three different times over a span of 15 minutes and they were all very high. I called my doctor and she wanted me to go to the hospital. It was still up when I got there and after monitoring for several hours, it finally went down. Then....I started having contractions! We were thinking she might come that night. But, Ady had other plans. All of a sudden they just stopped. She sent me home on strict bed rest and told me not to go to work. I asked if I could do certain things (i.e. go to the grocery, "no", do laundry, clean, "no".) Everything I asked she said "no". Except come see her each week for Non Stress Tests. For those of you who are not exactly sure, I am a VERY Type A personality. I have seirous OCD and like to clean, cook, and go as I please. This was like telling me I was locked up in a prison and my feet and hands were tied up. It's been very hard. I can't understand why anyone would think this is fun. It's not, in case you're wondering. But, I know it's worth it!
Oh, but didn't I say I had good news? She'll be here September 14 if she's not here on her own before then! :) I'm being induced at 6 am that morning. Think I'll sleep the night before? Not a chance.
I've been having a lot of contractions, sometimes intense but they're "false labor". I was having them Wednesday when I was hooked up to the monitor, but they're not doing anything. Which scares me to think what real ones feel like. I'm not trying to be a hero, people-I want the medicine so I can enjoy the process as much as I can!
Her room is complete and to all of you who laughed at my "Plan Ahead Polly" personality back then, I'm so glad I did. I would have been a mess knowing I couldn't get anything done now being on bed rest.
I am trying to enjoy these last few weeks and continue to dream about what she is going to be like. I know that I will miss all these kicks and flips from her. I feel her little toes wiggling in my side all the time and just LOVE it :) She is such a blessing and has shown me just what faith can do. I tear up when I think about the day I get to meet her. I know that I will be so overcome with joy and happiness. She is a true gift and I am honored that God has chosen Joseph and I to be her parents.
