35 Weeks!

I had my check-up at the doctor this afternoon. I was very happy not to be admitted the 3rd week in a row. Leland's heart rate was perfect at 130 and he is weighing in around 5 1/2 lbs. I am measuring perfect at 35 to 36 weeks. I am having a lot of contractions these days and a good bit of pain. I was told how many were acceptable to have without having to call the doctor and when I should call. It always makes me feel better knowing when I should or shouldn't call! There are so many random things that go on with a pregnant ladies body. I don't want to call about every little thing, but being a first time mommy makes it hard to know what to call about and what is normal!

The doctor did reduce my hours that I sit at work. I am now working from 8-2 every day. He wanted me to recline and relax as much as possible, but so far this week I have done craft projects and had a doctor's appointment. Tomorrow is going to be my day to come home and take a nice long nap and relax for the weekend!

On another good note, our good friend Danielle found out that she is not completely in remission after all of her chemo and bone marrow transplant, but there is only minimal activity with the cancer. She has to meet with her Oncologist to discuss the pro's and con's of radiation and what her method of treatment at this point shall be. Not fantastic news, but much better than the cancer is still all over! We will take any good news she gets and help her through these tough times to become stronger and live her life to the fullest. We still pray that she will start living a normal life and have many great years ahead of her even if she does have a trace of cancer left!!

Happy Father's Day to all of the dads/grandads in our family! We hope you have a day full of relaxation and doing whatever you want to!
