34 weeks, 5 days

34 weeks, 5 days. wow...time has gone by so fast. at this same point, 34 weeks, 5 days is the exact day in my pregnancy that i delivered our beautiful preslee and mason. that was the most amazing day of my life! now, they are almost two years old and we are getting ready to welcome their sweet sister finley to our family.

today i had another non stress test and ultrasound. finley is doing great, everything she is supposed to be doing. but, i gained three pounds over the weekend and my BP is a little high. same symptoms that i had when i was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia with the girls. my ob checked for protein and because there was none present, she opted to not admit me at this time. please keep our family in your prayers over the holidays and the coming weeks. although i can't wait to meet finley, she needs a little more time to grow to make sure she is as healthy as she can be and stays out of the NICU. i also feel like i need a little more time with just the girls. i don't want to spend one day in the hospital away from them. so, my instructions were to take it easy, drink lots of water and we will see. i don't like those words. thanks for your prayers! i go back to the doctor on friday and i will keep you posted.

Laura,
We're praying that Finley waits a few more weeks to arrive. As much as we all want to meet her, we would prefer she grow a little more. Hope everyone keeps you in their prayers that you will not have to go into the hospital until the scheduled date. Please do as the doctor says.
