So if you think of us Sanford's today please try to send up a little prayer for us!

Allie Kate will be here this Thursday!!

Well today has been a long day! we found out today that Miss Allie Kate will be here Thursday! when I went to the doctor today my blood pressure was high and the doctor said I have mild preclampisa. He said my symptoms would only get worse. So with that being said she will be 4 weeks early. I'm excited in one way but nervous too. He did a ultrasound on her today and her lungs look good so that was good news. I'm just hoping and praying everything goes well Thursday. So if you think of us on Thursday say a little prayer for us we will need it!

4 weeks on bed rest!

Today marks 4 weeks I have been on bed rest. Its not been fun but I know its best for the baby and me. These last couple of weeks I can say for the first time in a long time I have been board! I guess when it comes to everyday life things get so crazy with cleaning, school routines, work, church... that you really don't have time to get board! I have started reading a series of books which has been a change. Sometimes I have thought in the past I want to read a good book, but I don't seem to have the time. perfect timing now. Also thanks to  netflix I have watched alot of my favorite movies that I have not seen in a while. You know the ones nobody in your family wants to see when they are on tv or whatever. Anyways today I go back to the doctor hopefully we will know something more... ( crossing my fingers) Have a great Monday!

Great friends and Family!

There are people you can just count on in life. They show up. Never ask to they just are there. I have been blessed with family and friends that  " show up" I have been thinking about how Im going to improve my "showing up" after I get well. I questioned am I a good friend? have I "showed up" for them when they needed it? I want to be that way. Sometimes life just gets in the way. Im the type I have alot of  "good" intentions. That sometimes never gets carried out.  I have had so many friends and family over lately that has helped with so many things that its just been unreal. They " show up" to clean, cook, bring in dinner, lunch to have a quick visit or spend the day with me to keep me company.. or keep me sane during the day on the phone when I know they are busy with there normal routines of there family but they take the time to blab with me over pointless stuff  just because they know im board out of my mind. Im blessed that's all there is to it. I think I have the best family and friends out there. So this post is to say thank you! I love yall so very much thanks for all you have done for me and my family.

Update~

Well went to the doctor this morning and my blood pressure was good so that is great news! On the other had I'm still on bed rest and my doctor is playing it by ear on what time/date she will be born. I still have to go to the doctor twice a week Monday's and Thursday's. He did give me permission to go to my baby shower yesterday which was alot of fun! It felt so good to act normal for a day! I really enjoyed it! We have one more shower but it will be after she gets here. I will have to post some pics of the shower on my next post they done a great job it was so cute! Well that's all for now. Goodnight

catching up on some of my favorite chic flicks!

........she will be born when??

3 weeks as of today unless my blood.pressure gets worse! My doctor thinks it would be best to take her 3 weeks early! bedrest for me till then:(  but he did give me permission to go to my baby shower this Sunday so I am looking forward to that for sure. Other than that I now will be seeing my doctor twice a week till Miss Allie Kate gets here.... 6 weeks was what I have been banking on I thought! I have got to get some list going. Speaking of list I know this is way off subject but the movie "How Does She Do It" Is   such a funny movie for all you moms out there that multitask everyday you will love it. Well time for dinner hope you all have a great week

spring break and bed rest?

Good Morning! well its been a crazy week! First of all it has been spring break for Madison! yay! we had been looking forward to spending the week to just hang out and do some fun stuff....... well that all changed when I got really sick with my blood.pressure one night this week I literally had the worse head ache of my life over in the night. I checked my blood. pressure early that morning and my blood. p was through the roof. So I put a call into my doctor and they said I need to come on in to the office. To make a long story short they are testing me for Preeclampasia. If a person has it the only thing to help is bed rest or to have the baby. I will be 34 weeks Monday I still have six more weeks till my due date so doctor put me on bed rest till    I go back to the doctor Monday to get results and to check her measurements. I guess when you hear bed rest you think wow that's going to be nice to do simply do nothing! WRONG! you look around and see all the things you need to be doing! You think of all the places you could be! I miss my job :(  I have been blessed with a family that I have worked for ever since Madison was in PreK. Don't get me wrong I love a good break. But I always like being able to get up and do my own thing as well. Easter is this weekend! I love Easter I love all the pastel colors! Madison got a early Easter gift I guess you could call it from her nana and papa! REAL BUNNIES! 2  of them as a matter of fact! Madison has named them Bella and Mr. Whiskers.Grandparents! that's all I have to say lol. Well I guess my Easter will be at home this year! so feel free to blog! I need all the entertainment I can get!
