God's Blessings
Today we went to the doctors office for our 32 week check-up. They have us going once a week now because Kara's blood pressure has been a little bit high for a few weeks now. It started at 160/90 which is pretty high. But lately it hasn't been anything astronomical, somewhere in the 135/90 range. Today, it was down a bit, 130/80, which is really good, so we are back on two week appointments until she gets to 36 weeks.
I can't believe we are getting this close. The doctor showed us how you could feel the baby's back, butt, and head by pushing on Kara's stomach in specific areas. It's getting more and more real to me that we are going to have a baby. As he is getting bigger (we're at 32 weeks now), his movements have become more and more demonstrative and obvious. It's no longer something doing something in there, but it's our son, and he's kicking and stretching. Crazy.
But, the biggest thing I got out of our doctor's office visit today was how incredibly lucky we are. As we were checking out, there was a woman sitting in a chair crying, holding a tissue. She looked so sad. I obviously have no idea why she was upset but you can imagine that people can get some pretty bad news at a OB/GYN place. I said a prayer for her as we went down the elevator - that whatever news she got today was a part of God's plan and that he would help ease the pain. We talked about how lucky we are, that the pregnancy for us so far has been so uneventful. We are so incredibly thankful for that.
