Prayer Request

I just wanted to take a minute and put a Prayer Request in to the man upstairs. "Lord, please be with the Cortez Family and Robert's daughter, Kristalin Cortez. She had emergency Gallbladder surgery last week and had some complications and today she had her 3rd surgery, but hopefully this will be the last and she will begin to recover now! " God Bless you all!!!

36 Weeks

I had my 36 week checkup this morning and it was pretty uneventful. My wonderful doctor pretty much just said, everything looks fine but because of all the pain I have been experiencing, she suggested I go home and rest; ofcourse, I went to work instead. She is going out of town on Thursday so she said I need to take it easy until she gets back for my next appointment, Monday, March 1st. We discussed what we would do if I happen to go into labor before the scheduled C-section date and agreed that I would TRY to see if I dilated on my own, but that I DO NOT want to sit in labor without dilating for a long time. I guess the only new news is that throughout the entire pregnany I have only gained 6 lbs; however, the last week I have gained 5 more lbs. WHAT? Anyways, here's to next week and hopefully more progress and less pounds!!!!

Top of the Morning to Ya!!!

Well, I just had my 35 week checkup and we are shooting for a C-Section, March 17th at 7:15am. With Cervical Stenosis, they do not think that my cervix will dilate and I told my doctor that I did not want to go through several hours of labor in pain, just to end up having a C-Section. With that information, combined with a couple other issues, we decided to do a C-Section. I am going to stay at work until the 16th and then I will come back on Monday, May 17th; well that is the plan.
The baby is measuring right on and so little Cash will be joining the family on St. Patrick's Day!!! WOO HOO.

33 Weeks

Well, I had my doctor appointment and things are progressing wonderfully. Cash is 4 lbs. 15 oz. and has turned into position, which explains all the pain and pressure when walking, standing or doing just about everything. My cervix is still closed which is good and he is growing right with schedule. We didn't get very good pictures, but I will post the ones that we did get later. I have been sick for the past 2 days, so I am just too tired to do anything extra at the moment. Thanks to Holly, Renee and Chrissy for the amazing baby shower on Saturday. It was such a hit from the decorations to the amazing turnout and baby gifts. Cash got so many gifts and we have everything put together already. I took only a few pictures before the shower, but I will get pictures from Candice and Renee and hopefully post them some time over the next week or so. Thanks you again for all your prayers and for the INCREDIBLE baby shower where so many friends and family showed up to share the special day with us!!! God Bless!
