Today I woke up a little shaky and dizzy. I told my nurse about it and also told her my heart seemed a little faster than normal. So my nurse checked me and thought sheaybr heard some arithmia. So she called my high risk nurse who then came down, but she didn't hear any abnormalities that time. Dr. Stadt then ordered an EKG. I have very mild mitrovalve prolapse, so I used to get EKGs yearly during my high school and college years. But last time it was checked, my doctor said it was barely there so I stopped yearly visits. So then giving me an EKG made me feel less anxious just to be sure. They said it could be a side effect from my steroid shots. I am waiting to hear back and am doing my best to rest in God. I get anxiety easily when it comes to these situations and especially with the excitement over the past few days.
Today I went back to monitoring 4 times a day for 2 hr periods. I was a little nervous to take them off, but put my trust in God. If I would begin feeling constant contractions, they would put me back on. That probably was part of the anxiety I felt today too. It was also good to get back to eating normal today. I just did my best to relax. God is with me always.
James slept in until about 10 and then picked up Easton from Kristina's where he had a fun sleepover last night with his bud Josiah. Easton got to join them at Bible School and he loved it! He learned about Moses and the burning bush and then got to wear a pirate hat as the theme was something to do with Veggie Tales and pirates. When James brought Easton back around lunch, I was again so happy to see my little buddy! He came straight to me and gave Asher a kiss on my belly and me a hug. It made my morning and helped my anxiety diminish for a moment. James then opened a gift from Kristina which meant a lot to us! It was a drinking cup and a mug about prayer and then she gave Easton the cutest Mickey big brother shirt. He absolutely loved it! Thank you Kristina for watching Easton and bringing fun into his day! It means so much to us that you are helping Easton in having a summer filled with so much excitement. Also thank you for your thoughtfulness in the neat gift. Your prayers and kindness keep us strong! 😊
As James relaxed today, Easton and I played cars and watched Mickey Mouse of course. I enjoyed every moment I got to spend with him. He amazes me each day with how much he grows and how much he learns. He is such a big boy! I almost forgot to mention that he even stayed dry for Kristina yesterday evening. He still needs to work on #2, but so proud of his great work! He truly makes his mommy so very proud!
While James gave Easton a shower, my nurse came in and put my monitors on. I have been having some short lived intense contractions so far. They believe it is because of my low fluid and Asher getting bigger that there isn't as much cushion which causes him to push on my cervix causing contractions. We will continue to watch them, but not as strong and as close together as Tuesday's event.
As the nurse was about to leave, Easton ran out of the bathroom with just a pull up on. He had a funny smirk on his face which made us all laugh. The nurse left and James got Easton dressed. Easton was eager to leave like yesterday. Tonight he is having a sleepover at Maverick's. He couldn't stop talking about it and wanted to go that very moment. He picked up his toys, grabbed his gummies and truck, and then headed to the door where daddy's boots were. Of course he had to bring his boots to daddy so he could leave right then. It was too cute! I love seeing him so excited, especially when he jumps around a lot. He is a true trooper who is really enjoying his time with his buddies and mamaws and papaws, along with time spent here with mommy and daddy. He came over to give Asher a good bye kiss on my tummy and give me a hug. He told me bye and that he will miss me. It melted heart as always!
Thank you Ali for again watching him and letting him have a sleepover with Maverick. He enjoys playing with his bud and has so much fun when with all of you! You truly make him smile big! We can't thank you enough for all you do for us. It means so much that you are blessing our son with so much fun! 😊
Tonight my great friend from back in the good ol' school days is coming to visit with her son. I haven't seen Kristyn for a long time, so I look forward to her visiting. I also haven't seen her little Joel yet, so I can't wait to meet him! With the anxiety I am feeling today, it will be nice to have her here to visit. Kristyn, thank you for taking time to stop in and visit. It means so much to me and can't wait to catch up! 😊
Dear God, Thank You for never leaving Asher and me. The past few days have caused me some anxiety, but with You holding my hand I know I can overcome it as I cast all my anxiety on You. You will protect Asher and me. Thank You for being my rock. You give Asher and me the strength we need to carry on in this fight each day. Some days are hard to lay in this bed, but it is all worth it and You will lead us to Your beautiful plan in Your amazing timing. You are a miraculous God who has blessed us with a miracle. I trust fully in You. Thank You for calming my heart, and I love You above all things! Amen.
It means so much that I have all of you, our prayer warriors, sticking with us in this fight. Some days are tougher than others, but I feel your prayers surrounding me, and they are keeping me strong. Asher is fighting strong too, and I know the prayers are surrounding him too. Know how much all of you mean to us! Let's hold hands with God, Josh, and all the Angels and Saints in this miraculous fight! God is beautiful!! We wouldn't be where we are without Him!
