Blueberry Update












Hello Awsome Family!!
Here is a little update on us and our growing blueberry!!  The pictures above with me in my green dress is when I was about 28wks pregnant and we went on a little vaca to Florida.  We had such a nice and relaxing time and we were so glad we went b/c the week after we got home was when I went into the hospital.  And Im sure most of you know by now but I still thought I would update those that didn't...oh and everything is good now...so not to worry!  The dr's found that i have a Hernia, which can be very painful in pregnancy, and i was contracting early, and my cervical length was shortening.  So these were all causes to put me on bedrest.  So I was on strict bedrest at home for about 3 1/2 weeks and then since then I have been on 'light' bedrest and have not been able to work!  I have been trying to be as good as I can, but I am not the best at sitting and doing nothing!  But I knew it wasn't about me anymore...it was about keeping little blueberry safe!  And Praise God, I am 36 wks tomorrow and everything is going good!!  
Plus I think this was all part of God's sneeky plan to relax me a little and help me realize that I can't do everything, that I can accept help from Kurt (even if he doesn't do everything exactly like I would), and I am just not in control!  So it has been a good lesson for me, overall!  
The other picture is from one of my many baby showers!! (Isn't that cake awsome, a friend of mine made it for me:) I just feel so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family!  
I have the ok from the dr. to go back to work tomorrow so you can all pray that it goes well for me!  I do think I am going to only do 1/2 days though...which should be a little easier!  And now we are just praying that blueberry waits to come until after next weekend so daddy can enjoy his long awaited, annual Pikes'n'Pals fishin trip with the boys!!   
So...I think that is it for now but we will be sure to keep you all posted on any news!!!  Hopefully the birth announcement will be coming soon!
Love you all...Lisa (Kurt and bluberry too:)
