36 Week Update

So baby girl is still hanging out inside mom. We saw the doctor last Monday and the dr thought she would come any day. Here we are on Sunday and still no baby, although she is quite active these days. I was actually put back on the strictest bed rest this week because I started running a fever on Tuesday and it lasted for almost 5 days. The drs definitely did not want me delivering with a fever, which would almost guarantee a NICU stay for baby to ensure the infection had not transfer ed. The good news is that the fever has now past and I only have sinus issues so she can come any time. My contractions have been frequent but nothing to lead me to believe she is coming today. So for now we wait... next appointment is Wednesday. I will be induced on October 4th if she has not come by then, although drs do not think it's likely I will last that long. My last day of work is this Friday.. even though this pregnancy seems like it's lasted forever it also seems unreal in two weeks I will have 2 kids. Crazy!!
I'll be sure to update the blog as soon as little one arrives and until then will post updates if things start to happen.
Thanks to everyone for their prayers over the past week.. it was certainly something we were not expecting (especially when I heard I couldn't get an epidural with a high fever!!) but luckily we have made it past that point and mom and baby are doing well.
