Have I ever told you how thoughtful my sweet husband is? Well he is! Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary. So, this past weekend Billy booked a lovely room downtown with a view. I was so surprised to find out we'd be staying at the Baptist Hospital "Inn". Yep, we had a surprise visit to Labor & Delivery. Okay, so Billy didn't book the room but he did indeed stay by my side the entire time (except for a chick-fil-a run down stairs) and for that I'm so thankful! This past Friday I woke up to a phone call telling me my test results from last week were not good and we needed to head to L&D and be prepared to stay for at least 24 hours. After I freaked out a little (thank you hormones), took a shower, and called my mom crying we headed to the hospital. One of the many reasons I love my husband is he stays calm no matter the situation AND he knows just what to do to make me laugh hysterically even if I'm upset or crying. It's a gift. ;)
Moving on, they admitted me to watch my blood pressure and do another urinalysis as well as monitor Lilly. It was my first hospital stay and I must say we came home late Saturday afternoon with a new appreciation for our bed! I've been wanting to get a new mattress set and possibly go to a King size but I'm thinking my comfy Queen is just perfect right now. Perspective has set in. ha! The test results from the hospital checked out okay but not good enough to stop monitoring me or Lilly. I have a mild case of preeclampsia. They've put me on bed rest and will see me twice a week. I had another appointment today and saw sweet Lillly moving around in there. Everything seems fine for now, I'll take that! We'll go again on Friday for another check up.
Lilly's toes :)

The news I was most excited and nervous hearing was the fact we won't go to term, they'll induce by 39 weeks if not before. It all depends on my status each appointment. Yikes! We're going to have baby!!! Lilly Rose could come any time in the next few weeks, I'm secretly hoping we could shoot for December 30th. Nothing special about that date except for it's after Christmas and before the first of the year. They asked if I wanted a Birthday baby (January 5th) but I'm not too sure I want to do that if I have the option. I have pros and cons on that to weigh out on sharing a birthday...even though it would be special (and the best gift ever).
So, in celebration of our 3rd wedding Anniversary we spent our anniversary weekend in the hospital (very romantic), I'm on bed rest and Billy is closing at work tonight. Very exciting. However, as usual Billy always has something up his sleeve and came home last night with my favorite plant (Hydrangea), a gift, and a card that made me cry. It was that beautiful, I balled. Okay, the card was really sweet but maybe the hormones made me ball over it?? ;) We enjoyed take-out and relaxing...just the two of us (well, and Oliver) which is a precious commodity in these last weeks.
I'm so thankful for Billy and couldn't be any more blessed with the perfect man for me. We're super thrilled over the fact of meeting our little girl soon and I know the next few weeks, bed rest or not, are going to be special.
