Topic: Pruitt
It honestly feels like yesterday, in the midst of sorrow and heartbreak over losing Grandpa, that I saw that big fat positive pregnancy test. . .all 3 of them! Now, I sit here a little over 35 weeks pregnant and on Monday, July 25, 2005, I will have an ultra-sound to determine a "guesstimate" on Mr. Pruitt's weight. The dr is a bit worried that he's too big and can't move down. I know he's big, shoot, he's measured big since my 6 week ultra-sound, but I know he'll fit.
My dad and Chris are happy though, they know that on Monday, July 25, 2005, the doctor will set a date for induction. I'll be 36 weeks and no, I have NO clue when I'll be induced. My blood pressure is still a little elevated, but nothing to be too scared about yet. My worst fear is that Pruitt will be born and we won't be able to take him home. I just don't know how I'll react to that.
Now for the irony of it all. With Cale, I went to the dr and my blood pressure was WAY too high. He wanted to induce me then and there, but dad was on a plane to Jackson, MS while I was in my appointment. I talked him into waiting 2 days and inducing on Thursday so my dad could try and make it back. This time around, my u/s is on Monday and guess who leaves for Jackson on Tuesday????? Yep. . . .dad!!! He started laughing yesterday when I called and gave him my appointment update. I may have successfully gotten him out of TWO trips to Jackson!! But at least he won't be on a plane when we get the news so he and I will both have less stress. I honestly believe he'll accompany me to my u/s on Monday. . .we'll see. :)
Now the reality of it all sets in. Within two weeks, I'll be a mother of two. Two little boys. Two gorgeous children that have my heart in the palm of their hands, their big Chris-looking hands. :) I'm blessed. God has blessed me with two of the most incredible miracles ever and boy. . .am I ever grateful.
