March 2, 2012


Time is getting close for Kylie to arrive.  We are less than 4 weeks away.  I went to the dr yesterday and got good news regarding my platelet levels, they have stopped dropping.  She will still keep checking them, but they had rapidly dropped each time I went.  So, if they get a certain number, we have to have a plan for surgery.  We did an ultrasound and Kylie looks great, estimating her weight at 6 lbs 9 ounces and I am 35 weeks.  The tech said she is measuring like she is 36 weeks, which made me panic, thinking she may come early.  I was shocked at her weight already and she may be our biggest baby yet.  But, the dr said they would not take her early based on weight.   I was having some anxiety over this and the upcoming c-section.  This helped that, seeing and hearing all the good news.  We are going every week now and get another ultrasound in 2 weeks. It is such an amazing thing to witness, your baby on that screen and the miracle of life.  Kylie was pulling her foot with her hand and was curled up, and it was just precious seeing her.  

Brandon is in full swing with tax season, working 7 days a week.  Our basement is just about finished, so that will be great. As I type, my dad is working on it.  If it hadn't been for him, we wouldn't be near completion.  It will be nice to have all that done before Kylie comes, not saying that everyone will be rotated around to their new rooms, but it will all work out.  

Today would have been my Papaw Duncan's 90th birthday.  He went home to be with Jesus on June 27, 2011.  I had such big ideas for his 90th party and such.  But, hey, I know he would tell me this is his best birthday ever, to be with Jesus.  He wouldn't come back for anything and I know one day I will see him again. So, Happy 90th in Heaven with our Savior!!
