37 Week Update

We got to go home. After pumping me full of fluids over night and half the day on Friday our ultrasound looked good. The fluid levels went way up. I guess the doctors like to see the numbers between 8 and 24. On Tuesday we were a little below 8, on Thursday we actually got down to the 5s but after the night in the hospital we got up to 13 so we got to go home. They put me on bed rest all weekend and I go back to the doctor tomorrow to check the fluids again. When we had the ultrasound at the hospital they estimated Maddox's weight at 8.5 pounds!!!! I am officially freaking out. I really hope what everyone says is true in that ultrasounds are always on the high side. I guess we will see soon enough. I think we were both happy to come home. Rob gets home on Monday and we really did not want him to miss Maddox's birth day.

A special thank you to my wonderful mothers and sister in law. Momma B and Sister Tisha took care of the dogs on Thursday night and started cleaning my house. Momma B was here all day on Friday cleaning and I can honestly say it probably has never been this clean. Its so much easier to sit around on "bed rest" all day in a clean house. I have been wanting to clean for a while now but my feet have been hurting so bad after long days at work and Jay has been really busy trying to finish painting his truck before Maddox arrives. We both have been very stressed about the house lately so this was a major, major weight off the shoulders. My mom (Nanna) came over on Saturday to bring me lunch and keep me company but she also brought me the new Twilight movie. This made me very very happy. She is so sweet. It was killing me that it had been on the shelves over 12 hours and I did not have it yet. Plus it gave me something to do after she left.

On another note....we did not bring home a baby from the hospital but we did bring home a nice size dent in the car, I guess someone really hit it hard in the parking lot and we are pretty sure that Jay got a really bad case of bed bugs cause he is covered in little red bumps that suddenly appeared on Friday morning. We are thinking that it might have been the sheet or something that was in the little fold out bed thingy he slept on. At least we know now and he will bring his own sheet for the next visit.
