Can you believe it?? This was my last doctor appointment before the c-section. I made it!! Thanks the Lord. :-)

BP was normal. Weight gain = 2 lbs!! That's the most in one week. Cervix is thin but not open. My fluid measured good again --in the "12's". Dr. Gourley believes that I will make it to the date. Yay!

Oh yah--he took me off bedrest......... he said you are full term so it doesn't matter what happens at this point. Now that's what I'm talkin about. HOWEVER, I am still going to take it easy by taking naps every single day and sleeping 10 hours a night. :-) I'm suckin it all in while I can!

BUT the coolest thing about today's appointment was.... Dr. Gourley asked me if he could pray with me. I said "Absolutely." So I folded my hands together and he put one of his hands on top of my hand. He prayed and thanked God for getting me this far and he also prayed for our surgery next week. And he prayed for the little baby to come out healthy. Wasn't that the nicest thing you've ever heard? How often does a doctor ask you if he can pray with you. I had tears in my eyes.

So the next post will be me giving you the details of the birth. We will post info on Facebook as soon as we are back in our room after the c-section (Rick will do this). I have an email chain for those not on Facebook. I will also get Rick to update this blog with the details as well.

Last but not least................ WE STILL NEED A BOY NAME!!!!!!!!!!!
