We went to the doctors this week for our monthly appointment.
My blood pressure is up and has been for a while now, that makes the doctors worried. They said they will take you out sooner that 40 weeks if it stays up. We are hoping that this is just gestational hypertension and that it doesn't turn into preeclampsia.
They have me going in weekly to keep a close eye on things.
I am suppose to destress my life. Starting with work and my church calling. I can no longer exercise or do much that requires strength/energy. It has been really hard for me to not do much... BUT i do NOT want to end up on bed rest.... i would go CRAZY!!
on the plus side...
You are looking great & you have a very strong steady heart beat (it makes me smile every time i hear it)
You are measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule and I couldn't be happier..
I hope you will get here soon, I can't wait to just hold you and be your mom.
I am definitely in mama bear mode. I get so protective when people make comments about you. I don't like when people say they are going to come see you everyday. I just want to have you to myself 24/7. How Selfish of me, right? I think it is just all my raging pregnancy hormones/emotions that is making me feel this way.
I know i will love when people come to visit.
...Especially Pammie G Baby! I trust her with my whole heart to watch you! She will provide you with the most uplifting/positive environment. I wouldn't have to worry about you hearing anything negative. I know that you would get so much attention, and love! You wouldn't have to worry about when mommy would be home, because pammie G is just like me... (or is it the other way around?) ha ha
You are already mentioned in every family prayer. "Please bless that Henry will be my little buddy." "Please bless Henry that he will know how much he is already loved." It really touches my heart. I know that you will love spending time over at Papa & pammie G's. You will learn that us Graves center our lives on Christ and try our best to follow him. You will learn that not a day goes by without laughter/goofiness/dancing/singing. Us Graves definitely know how to laugh and to have a good time. We are a tightly knit bunch and you are just going to add so much joy to that!
I feel truly blessed to have such an amazing family. I feel blessed to have a mom that chose to be at home with her kids. I am blessed to have had a mom who always had a snack on the table after school. A mom who helped us with homework. Someone who always had the best interest for us. A mom who taught us integrity/loyalty/happiness/and how to love.
I feel blessed to have had a dad who showed us how to work hard. A dad who showed us how to save money. A dad who treated my mom like a queen. A dad who knows how to have fun, and will still play mario kart & wii bowling. A dad who taught us tithing is very important and to always put the Lord first.
I am blessed.
Henry, you will be blessed as well.
You have great influences in your life, and i know they have the best interest for you!
Mommy will try her hardest to be the best mom ever. I will try to always be a good example and to provide you with the best possible life. I honestly can't wait for you to come. I play the song Beautiful Boy to you every night. This has become your song! (This was also Uncles Howard's song)
I know that Daddy is the best example for you. He is such a hard worker. He always puts God first in his life, and he always reminds mom not to stress. God always takes care of us. Dad can't wait to sing to you, read to you, and teach you sports things. I know that he loves you to the moon and back x a million. We are so lucky to have him in our lives! I can't think of a better man out there. He has every quality we could ever ask for.
I know lulu is getting excited for you to come. She doesn't know it yet, but it'll be a big change for her. She will still be out little princess. I know that you two will become best friends very quickly. She has already tested out your carseat/ and everything else we have for you! She is so excited to have a little buddie to play with!
We Love you Henry Nathan Adams!
Only a few more weeks til we get to meet you!!
Keep growing my little boy!!
All the love from our hearts-
Mommy Daddy & Lulu
