One Month Countdown!

Grant is officially due one month from today and I am ready! I had my 35 week doctor appointment yesterday and my parents were able to tag along. Everything went great! I had an ultrasound in which the ultrasound tech told me Grant already weighs 6 pounds 5 onces! It was wonderful seeing his little face on that screen and seeing his belly contract while breathing, what a miracle! Later, I saw the doctor, he told me the ultrasound is only about 30% accurate at predicting the weight of the baby. He felt my abdomen and guessed Grant is an average size baby weighing in at about 5 pounds and he thinks he'll be around 7 at the time of his birth, thank goodness! My blood pressure was great and he said not to be concerned with my swelling. He actually said the swelling will get worse after Grant is born and then take a couple of weeks to go away completely. So much for losing all that water weight in the hospital... :( I'm having a very difficult time at this point getting a good night's rest. I wake up every two hours like clock work to use the restroom. I have heard this is God's way of preparing you for all those sleepless nights once the baby has arrived. I have started dreading going to bed at night and all the up and down has really gotten to Ron to. It's impossible for him to be rested in the morning as well. I'll chalk it up to small sacrafices for the ultimate reward!
