Update

So I went to my 38 week appointment yesterday thinking that everything is hunky dory and it would be a regular visit with him checking me is all. Well to my amazement things didn't turn out the best. When the nurse took my blood pressure she usually says looking good, but this time she didn't say anything. I kinda knew that I felt different because when I was shaving my legs in the shower that morning they were EEEXTRA massive. SOOO I knew that I was retaining water, but I didn't think that it would result in the apt that I had. The Dr. came in the room and told me that I was boarder line pre-eclamptic because of my blood pressure level, but luckily I wasn't secreting any protein in my urine which was a good sign. He then told me that we should probably look to be scheduling a day to have her. I asked him about supplement amniotic fluid and if he knew anything about that. He told me no and asked what is it used for. I told him that they do it for women that have lower levels of amniotic fluid and breech babies so that they can turn the babies instead of having a c-section. He told me that he had never heard of that, but he could set up an appointment for me to see a perinatologist and see what he can do about that. He then told me that he wanted to take a look and see how much amniotic fluid I do have so we transferred into the ultrasound room. When everything was ready and we started looking at the U.S it showed that I had even less amniotic fluid than last time we did a U.S. I started to ask why this was the case, and if it was something that I did. He told me no, that some women lose their fluid faster than others once the placenta stops producing it in the final weeks of pregnancy. I asked if this was OK for the baby, and he said that lower levels don't harm babies, but with my levels we need to start worrying about her possibly getting a prolapsed cord. He then told the nurse that he wanted to do a stress test on the baby to make sure that everything was for sure alright. This started to scare me into thinking that when he listened to her heartbeat before he heard something that he didn't like. So the whole time in the stress test I was a nervous wreck and tried my very hardest to hold back my fear and tears. Thankfully, the stress test came back normal. So now we have to wait to see what the perinatologist can do. If he can't do anything then I'm hoping that we will have a baby by the end of the week via c-section.

Well, as I'm sitting her reflecting on this past year I can't help but think about all of the amazing and wonderful things that have happened to us. We have had some downs this past year, but we have had more ups than anything. We started out the year celebrating our two year anniversary in Park City. It was so fun to live on the rich side even though it may have only been for one night. I graduated shortly after that in April, which was such a relief for me. I miss school, but to not have the stress has been so nice. Then we found out that we were going to be expecting a little Cordingley in May, and we have been walking on cloud nine ever since. Summer was a blast for us with parties and vacations. We spent an entire week in Lake Powell with the Cordingley family. It was very fun, but I had started to get morning sickness and we weren't telling the families 'til later that month so that was sure fun to hide. Brock had his birthday in August and of course got new gadgets for his birthday presents. After that, time seems like it has flown by. Brock's little brother, Dakota, came home from his mission in October, and my little brother hit his one year mark almost the exact same day. We had a great Halloween although we didn't get around to having our annual Halloween bash that we have had in the past years. A lot of the Cordingley family came down from Idaho since Dakota came home so close to Halloween which made it a blast. Thanksgiving was a blast having both families together for dinner, and Christmas we were so spoiled by both families.

With all of this said about our past year I can't help but think about how amazing my husband has been with me. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life that treats me better than I think I should be treated. I have come to realize this more lately than anything with how he has been with me and this pregnancy. He has been so loving with my morning sickness when I had it for almost a total of SEVEN months, and now that I am getting so uncomfortable he is so loving and doting now matter what it is. I love that he is so level headed and is able to talk me back into reality when I start having stress breakdowns. I am so grateful for him, and I don't think that I express that to him as much as I should. I love him with all of my heart, and love that he is my best friend. He has such a tender heart, and I am learning to be a better person from him each and every day. He is a wonderful man that I know will be such a wonderful daddy to our little girl and all of our future children. I often wonder sometimes who is more excited for this little girl to come him or me. I love to see him with all of the baby things and the cute look that he gets on his face when it comes to the baby clothes, accessories and talking about our baby. I don't think that I could have asked for a better man in my life. I look forward to having many more wonderful years with him and raising our little girl and future children together.

So now that we have 2010 over, I look forward to having a wonderful 2011. First off this year, we will be bringing a little girl into this world. I can feel that this year will be one of the very best compared to the past years, and most of the future years (more babies will be great years as well:) ).

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope it will be as wonderful for you as we plan on ours being.
