Today I am 32 weeks and one day! Praise God. I am thanking and praising God continually for my baby's health and me being able to carry him full term. Yesterday. I woke up with this tightness in my pelvic region (lower abdomen) scared me so bad. I didn't know what to think. Went to the bathroom no pinky/browny discharge. No pain in my lower back. Consulted the pregnant woman's pregnancy guide. And during the Eight month "what to expect, while you are expecting" said that this is called pelvic pressure and common in the eight month. So i am like cool bet. Let me go to work. Got to work and oh my God. I tried to stand up and go to the bathroom, my body was like I think not. Every time i took a step i felt the tightness. At this point I am getting concerned, so i sat back down. I called the ob and spoke with Dr. Mckenzies wonderful staff. Tammy said that I needed to rest confirmed no more symptoms and that this is truly just pressure on my pelvis.
The rest of the day I just sat down at work. I even asked a co worker to get water for me. When it was time to leave I got up and was moving slow like a turtle but by the time I walked around the building to the car ,it seemed like Alex had moved or those muscles had warmed up. I was walking better.
Today, I woke up with the same thing, talked to the nurse she said stay home and rest put feet up not a lot of activity, drink lots of water,this should subside after a while. Well, for the most part when I am still it is fine, especially still and lying down. it is just that when I stand it is like whew baby, I feel some pressure down there. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I am just believing all is well, and he is still high and head down. I am believing God to go to the very end of April 37/38 + weeks, and that Alex's lungs and everything else will be fully developed and functioning.
I got up early this morning like I do every morning and prayed for all us. Henni, Alex, and Layna especially. Can't wait till he is here and I am healed up some so I can give the hubby a break and pamper him some. He is tired. I am tired, mostly because Layna has had a cold this week. A lil ear infection, not even a bad one, but enough trouble that we had her sleep with us two nights in a row, just to keep a check on fever and so forth. We never do that unless she is sick. But when she is sick mama and daddy want to keep her close. We love that lil one.
I know this blog reads a lot about wow i had this and had that during pregnancy. But overall this has been a great pregnancy. God has moved mountains, kept my blood pressure down, no gestational diabetes, no preeclampsia. God has moved in a mighty way for Alex and his mama and daddy and baby sister. I want to take a moment to acknowledge that. No drugs got me pregnant, That was the Lord, no drugs kept Alex in the womb, that was the Lord. Alex is a product of the goodness of God and his faithfulness. The Lord is faithful. Ephesians 3:20 says "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us". Praise God. He did it. He kept us, kept Henry, kept me, kept Layna and Alex. The Lord God is faithful. If ever you are looking for a healer a friend in the valley. Call on the name of Jesus. He WILL hear your cry.
Battle Cry for today: Psalms 62:1-2
For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken
