Well, today is Mother's Day. Stewart and the boys are in Idaho visiting his family, because his sister just got home from her mission and spoke in church. (It's like a REALLY big deal! No one sees her for 1 1/2 years, and she only got to call home on Mother's Day and Christmas, and we only got weekly e-mails.) Anyway, he didn't want to leave me home, but I made him go. Seriously, I made him! My Dr. wouldn't let me go. I'm already dialated to a 1 and I'm REALLY soft...
At my appointment last Monday my Dr. was delivering a baby, so I saw his nurse. (I would rather see her than one of the PA's!) She checked me and got pretty worried. So she called the Dr and I got a call from HIM later in the day. He sent me up to the hospital to get steroid shots to help Kirra's lung development. The next day I went up again to get the second shot. They were pretty uncomfortable, but if they help the baby, I'm all for it! My Dr came into the room during my first shot and talked to us. He said that he's more worried about me than other patients, because I've had my kids earlier everytime. Hayden at 38 weeks and Keagan at 36 weeks. He's worried that Kirra could come even earlier than that. I'm still not on full-bedrest, but I'm REALLY supposed to stay off my feet as much as possible.
Stewart asked if I could go to Idaho with them this weekend, and my Dr said that it was up to us, but he'd suggest not to. Then Stewart asked if we needed to have another ultrasound to make sure that Kirra is doing alright development wise. My Dr said, yes! YAY! So we got to go in on Wednesday and have another ultrasound! She's measuring great! She's about a week ahead, which is just like our boys were. She weighs around 4 lbs 10 oz now. So that means she weighs even more than that now! She's still a she, which is FANTASTIC! She has the chubbiest cheeks ever! I love it! She looks just like her brothers too. She's got Keagan's face, and Hayden's nose. It just makes me even more excited to see her!
I've been having LOTS more contractions this week. I keep having hot flashes whenever I stand up, and getting super dizzy. I'm afraid these last few weeks are going to be tough on me! I'll be 33 weeks on Wednesday, so I technically only have
more weeks to go! YAY! I hope I can make it that long!
Well, I'm going to go wait for my boys to get home so I can see them sometime this Mother's Day! We get to go to the Dr again tomorrow, so I'm excited to hear her precious heartbeat again!
