Hello Friends and Family,
Over the weekend I started having contractions that were lasting quite a while. Whenever I would sit down and rest, they would go away. I continued to have them thru this Tuesday and decided to call my Dr. He had me go into Labor & Delivery so that I could be monitored. They results showed that I was having mild contractions and also have an irritable uterus. Jaiden was doing just fine. They took blood, gave me a pelvic exam and and I had to give a urine sample. I do have an elevated level of amniotic fluid which could lead to pre-term labor. So, he requested that I stop working and rest for the remainder of my pregnancy. My first thought was oh no, I haven't trained everyone properly. I asked the Dr. if I could work from home if my boss allowed it, he was OK with this and so was my boss (awesome boss!). So, here I am working from home with my feet up and relaxed. I feel Jaiden kicking away! I think she is happier this way too! I am at 31 weeks and the Dr. hopes to have me make it to 37 weeks in which Jaiden will be fully developed. The girls at work are being so supportive and will even be coming to my house so that I can train them from here. What a blessing to have supportive people in your life!
On another note, we had our Cunningham Family shower this past Saturday. It was a blast. Farrah, my sister in law (Chris' brother Jamal's wife) put on a rockin' party with lots of great food, cake, appetizers, games, adorable decorations and a house full of family. It was a really great party. They all gave us such nice gifts for Jaiden as well. I can already see how spoiled she will be.
Last week we were able to see our baby girl on a 4D Ultrasound which was truly amazing. I can't really tell who she looks like yet, but I do think that she has big feet like her Mommy and Daddy! I have posted some pics of this Ultrasound.
So, now that it is getting closer and I will be home a bit more, I will try to keep you all posted more often. Thanks for all of your love and well wishes. Please keep us in your prayers as we get closer to bringing Jaiden into all of our lives.
Love,
Toni & Chris
