The day of your arrival is getting Closer,

I am pretty swollen most of the time now, and my blood pressure is up - they say that is due to the swelling, they don't know why I am swelling the way that I am, they have said it could be because of the way you are sitting in me, or just because that is how my body does pregnant!  They have put me on restricted duties, limited work, and I now test my blood pressure at home four times a day, check my pee for proteins, and sit and record your movements three times a day to make sure that you are just fine, and that I am just fine!!!  The Concerns had me concerned at first, but both of us seem to be fine, so now it is just another part of the job of growing you!  Which by the way is the most important job I think I have ever had! 
The count down is on we have around nine weeks left before your due date!  I want you to stay in there and grow healthy but at the sametime I am more than ready to be done being pregnant.  I am more than ready to have you in my arms!  I am sure once you are in my arms there will be days and times that I wish you were still in me(so that you are only mine, and I have an excuse to need the extra sleep and rest). 
You still haven't kicked your dad - your movements have become a lot stronger!  When I put the ipad on me to hear your heart beat, you kick the ipad, or when I rest my hands on my belly you kick my arms, or when I lay on either side you kick the bed.  When I am counting your movements I sit and feel them from the outside to make sure they are strong ones!  But little one your dad puts your hands on my tummy to feel you and you seem to know it, you immediately stop moving and a grooving, kicking or hitting or whatever it is you are doing in there.  Your poor dad!  He has plans if you don't come out before the nine weeks are up he will take me on a drive on the back roads and on a quad ride to shake you out of there -- if he could I think he would do it now, he asked if we could until he realized that you are only about 3 pounds so we would be in the hospital while you grew for a while and neither one of us want that, so he is patiently and impatiently awaiting your arrival!
We both love you so much already!  I am so excited for the day that I can hold you in my arms, and so excited to see you in your dad's arms! 
We love you to the moon and back and back again!
