.:36 WEEKS:.

.:36 WEEKS:.--Looking like a pumpkin...hahaha

So I went to my midwife today to see how things were going. As far as my infection it looks like everything is all cleared up for now. My blood pressure was great. She did the swab for Group B Strep, although since I was positive with Jackson then they will do the antibiotic anyways. And she checked me. She said that I was definitely softening, I was dilated to 2cm and I was 70% effaced. She also said that it definitely feels like I have dropped. If I haven't had the baby by 39weeks then she will induce me, which would be on Nov. 10th. But I have a pretty good feeling that I will go before then. She did an ultrasound and the baby is measuring a little small. She was a little concerned. So if he doesn't gain enough by my next appt. next week then she will have to induce me then. So I could be having this baby anytime now. I am starting to get a little anxious. I am so excited to have this baby here, but it is going to be so different for it not to just be Barry, me, and Jackson. Maybe I am a little worried about giving Jackson all of the attention that he should be getting...I am not quiet sure why this seems like such a big transition. But at least I am ready for this lil angel to come into our family. I am really hoping that he can hold off coming until after Halloween. I just really want to be able to spend this Halloween with Jackson since it will be our last one with just him. I have definately having a lot more contractions. It is now 1:18am and I can't sleep cause I am contracting quiet often. The baby was measuring at about 5lb. 2oz today. So he defiantly needs to get a little bigger. We will just keep praying that he can stay in there as long as he needs to, but we are ready for him to be here if he is ready to come. Like I said I have another appt. next week. So we will see how things are then:)

"A Quiet Testimony"

You could look at this little boy and think nothing is wrong
Those that know him, know he's struggled all along.
Appointment after appointment, doctor after doctor
Built up with frustration, but sitting with no answer.
Not knowing where to start or what to do
Quietly the little boy grew and grew.
His parents each holding a hand along the way
He's not going anywhere-He is here to stay.
In his eyes, determination-In his heart is faith
He pushed the bar and slowly it was raised.
Always smiling, and happy as can be
Such a small boy, not yet three.
He's stronger than most, but not where expected
His so called battle his mind has rejected.
He's doing his best, and through that succeeding
While those that love him are fervently pleading.
Throughout his life, he'll go so far
From the beginning he let to raise the bar.
With that attitude of-"Come what may" He's my little angel, Jackson Ray.

.:Our Blessing:.

Jackson has just recently been diagnosed with Ataxia. He is doing so well and loves walking with his walker. Jackson still has physical, occupational, and speech therapy once a week. Jackson loves his therapists and does such a great job for them.
Jackson has taught Barry and I a lot about loving and patients. He loves so much and is such a happy boy(most of the time). We love Jackson so much and are so proud of him. Even though his life is a little harder for him you could never be able to tell, just for the fact that he doesn't let it slow him down. And that is a lesson that he can teach all of us. What an awesome kid!!!!!!
