37 Weeks & Day 2 Off Bedrest!!


St Louis Cardinals onesie Mike got this week in the mail for Abbie Rose to wear to her first Cardinals game

37 Week Belly Shot

The doctor had fantastic news, as we were hoping, when I saw her yesterday......no more medicine to stop labor, no more bedrest, and abbie rose is doing wonderful!!! She's a whopping 6 lbs 1 oz, according to the ultrasound, head down and ready to make her debut into this big, bad world to meet us and an anxiously awaiting crowd. So...I spent the rest of the day yesterday reveling in my freedom from the bed and couch running errands to continue preparing for her. I took a long tour of Target and Hobby Lobby, pure treats! I was so worn out by the end of the day but we took advantage of some of our last days of just Mike and I to eat dinner at Logan's.

Today, we started our day with homemade blueberry pancakes, which we got to cook together for the first time in 3 weeks! I got super tired of sitting at the bar with my feet up watching Mike cook all the time. It's one of our favorite things to do together. We took a LONG walk at Shelby Farms, a huge park closeby, to enjoy the nice Spring like weather and in attempts to "walk Abbie out" a little! We have taken many walks there since we moved here and soon we'll be strolling little Abbie Rose around that place with us. Tonight, we made homemade pizza margherita from a recipe from epicurious.com. It was delicious to say the least, and challenging at moments when we didn't have parchment paper to make it on! We managed though and it hit the spot. We nestled in on the couch to REST and watch the Memphis Tigers basketball game and cheer on those Tigers.
