Dr Visit and Matthew's 4d ultrsound

He kept bending his little foot forward and playing with his toes. I thought this was precious!

He has his Big Brother Hunter's nose and cheeks.

Today was our 4d ultrasound and we got lots of pictures of Matthew. He wasn't in the best cooperating mood. He wanted to keep his hands in front of his face and at first it was his legs. He is head down and in position for delivery but he is raising his legs to his face like a book opening and closing and then digging his toes into the very bottom of my stomach. That is why I have been in excruciating pain the past 2 weeks or so. I was scared I was actually trying to go into labor. He is already showing me what a little mess he will be when he gets here. They believe he is weighing around 3 pounds right now. I measured 31 weeks , no weight gain (only 1 pound this whole 31 weeks)and the Dr says I will deliver before the due date b/c the baby had dropped so much. My blood pressure was fine today and Dr Stutts said for me to continue bed rest and taking my meds 3 times a day cause it was helping. He said if the blood pressure kept going back up after today's visit then he would have to take the baby but as long as I followed the regimen, then I could carry till 37 weeks. I was relieved. I have been very scared that he was coming any time and I didn't want to think about staying in Huntsville like they originally thought. He told me if I had 4 or more contractions in 1 hour to go to the labor and delivery. I have started having back contractions the past week but they are about 10 minutes apart. I go back to the Dr on November the 3rd. Everything is moving right along now and the countdown is on.

We are moving into our new house this weekend and things are really stressful in the Fuller household. Everyone is very ill and agitated and I just can't wait for things to get better. Stephanie came yesterday and packed up most of my upstairs till she ran out of newspaper and boxes. Bryan bought more boxes at Sam's tonight and she is gonna come back tomorrow and pack some more. I am really hating that I cant do anything to help with the move. I have to stay rested and keep my blood pressure down and the swelling down so this baby has more time to grow. Anyway, I will update later on the next Dr visit and the move. Maybe we will be settled in by the next post with the exception of boxes unpacked until Matthew arrives. lol Anyway, take care and God Bless.

Catching Up!

Its been a while since my last entry. Lets just say things have been so busy at the Fuller house. We have been working very hard in the house getting it ready to show to potential buyers and there isn't much I can do b/c of my high blood pressure. We sold out house this past Tuesday. As I was signing the contract on the house I started tearing up. When they left I cried some b/c this was the first house Bryan and I bought and we were so happy the day we bought it as I imagine Falon and Josh were too. We have had some very happy memories in this house and I will always miss it.

We are very excited about closing and moving into our new home soon.
The buyers for our house now, close their loan by the end of them month and we have to turn over keys and be completely moved out by Thanksgiving Day. That means I will have a month or so before Matthew gets here to settle into my new house and hopefully relax before he arrives. Yeah Right! lol We are buying Bryan's parents house and they are building them a new house across the road from us. They are very excited and we are too. They broke ground on their new house Friday and hopefully they will be in there by January 1st, if weather permits. So, there is alot to be done and a short time to do it in. I am not much help these days. My blood pressure is staying up and although I am taking medicine 3x a day for it, its only lowering my bottom number. I am swelling alot and the Dr wants me lying around resting. Its driving me nuts. I snuck out and went to my nephew's ballgame Friday night and I had to leave cause I started swelling so bad and my blood pressure jumped up. I wanted to stay very active till the baby arrives but its just not possible for me to do that. This happened with Hunter but not until my last month and I still have till Christmas to go. I go back to the Dr on Wednesday to have my Sugar Test and check my Iron and follow-up on the blood pressure. He said if it isn't better then I would come in every week or every other day till the due date. I hope I don't have to do that. I will try and update the blog on the visit for those of you that keep up with my entries. I have a busy few months ahead of me,so I may not have the time to update as much. Until next time......
