Post image for five things for friday: illustrated edition

Today I will be back at the hospital and we shall see what we shall see…

will I be induced early due to high blood pressure?

Will the non-stress test stress me out so much that I end up in Labor and Delivery for the forty-fifth time?

Will the baby be head down or still transverse?

Will I get lunch?

Will I be admitted?

Will I come home early or late?

Will I have a chance to updated the blog?!?!?!?!!?  Will I still be coughing like someone who smokes 600 packs of cigarettes a day due to this timely flu?

All these questions…I don’t know if I’ll have the answers today or not, but I will try to keep up via Facebook if nothing else.  Until then, enjoy…ME: Illustrated. :)

I. Love. You! You can bet I’m going to be praying, praying, praying for you and that sweet little one. And my prayer will be that the Lord will do what is best for the benefit of all. Thank goodness HE knows the end from the beginning!!!

Love, hugs, and healthy baby vibes,
Rachel

Misty,
Sending lots of thoughts and prayers your way. Just read this quote from Sarah of Sarah’s Covenant Homes and I hope it might bring a little humor during this difficult time:

“We have a saying in India: ‘It will all work out in the end. If it is not working out, then it is not yet the end.’”

Hang in there….

I really struggle to enjoy those last days of a pregnancy and all the “unknown” that goes along with it. Hang in there, you’ve got lots of people thinking of you! And you better post a picture of your little guy once he’s here. ( : I’m not on facebook anymore so I won’t know what’s going on. Boo.

GOOD LUCK! Which means to say, we’ll be praying for you and hoping your guardian angels will have time to let you feel them with you, even if they are busy keeping you & baby safe.

LOVE YOU! Which is to say, you’re wonderful and I love that we’re friends and I’m grateful for every interaction we’ve had and look forward to seeing you & the rest of your crew next month.

:)

You are in my prayers. I’ve just had a week full of miracles and I KNOW the Lord is mindful of us mothers. I know he is watching over you and your family. I’m excited to hear how it goes. I’m sure it will be perfect.

Things went very well on Friday–my blood pressure is high, but as long as I don’t move and think happy thoughts, it stays within a range that will give the baby a little more time to cook, and he was head down on Friday, so that is good, although I still feel him going back and forth, I am praying that given a few more days, he will settle head down and we can get him here safe and sound.

I got take out at one of my favorite restaurants in Provo–it’s called La Jolla Groves, and I love the food there. It is organic, healthy and delicious and some of it is even manly. :) I got the beef tenderloin sliders because I was feeling decadent and celebratory (as much as I can, anyway).

I am still coughing horribly and trying to learn from this quickly so it can stop.

So, here’s to another week of bedrest and blood pressure medication and stretching.

To be honest, it’s about to drive me insane, but that’s just between you and me. I don’t think the kids suspect anything yet, because I haven’t regained my voice back…but when I do, I think they’ll be on to me.

Thank you so much for the prayers and kind wishes and words of encouragement. They have really buoyed me up and helped me to get through. I love all of you!
