I am almost there.... So close.... Saturday morning Chris gave me my last progesterone shot. My date for my stitch to be removed is on the 23 rd! 12:00!!! I can't hardly wait... That is only 1 whole day away. I have this feeling of a huge weight being lifted from me. I have beaten the odds and feel like I have conquered a huge trial. And in turn I am hoping for a healthy baby. At least I know that I have done everything that I could possibly do to get to that goal. I have almost made it to full term. Honestly when the stitch was put in I felt like my chances were not really great that I would ever make it long enough for our little boy to come healthy. I pictured me and our little boy having to spend a long time in the NICU but here I am almost full term. Best feeling ever!
I am slowly feeling like myself again. I got my toes all glittery and cute, my hair cut, and best of all I have started preparing for our little man. In the last few days I have made a couple of shopping trips. Short ones but I am out in public again. It is weird. I am not use to people looking at me like holy crap she is going to pop :) I went into Target with my Mom and it made me realize really how weak I am. After not even a normal amount of time shopping I was so tired. My back and my legs ached so bad. I am not sure if it is from being on bed rest or from the fact that the last time I was out doing these things I was 20 lbs lighter! Either way I better get building some strength before our little guy decides to come. Today I made our bed for the first time since I can remember. I picked up a little in the babies room and cleaned my bathroom a bit. Keep in mind my stitch is still in and I am still taking it pretty easy cause I really don't want something to happen now that I am so close to it being out. So that seemed like a lot :) Plus my doctor is out of town till this Monday. So he said to hold tight till then cause he is done vacationing after this weekend till past my due date! Wonderful news... I am so excited to see what happens when the stitch comes. We'll see if I dilate some right away, or if my contractions will pick up quickly. I am just can't wait for it to be OK if my water breaks or I start having contractions close together. For the last 4 months I have been terrified of these things happening and after Wednesday it will be exciting!. Not to mention that after the removal my driving privileges will be back! I am feeling good. It felt so good to get out with Chris. Even if it was just to babies R us. It made me feel so normal. Back to having a life. And that is a great feeling to have after how the last months have been. I will keep you posted of how things go after the removal. Who knows I could have my baby in a 3 days if he comes fast after the stitch is gone. Or at the very longest (if I made it to my due date) 3 weeks away! I don't mind either way... He can come when he is ready.

Ally I am so sad that I missed your shower :( Jason didn't get home from work in time for me to go...but I need to bring your gift up to you, I think I might wait now until your little guy is here :) I am so excited for you and so proud that you have been so strong and made it so far. It is definately a huge trial for you and I think you have handled it so well...it is amazing to me to think of all you have been through in the last little while! Best of luck on the 23rd be sure to keep us all posted and hopefully I will see you and your sweet bundle soon!
Yea!! Almost there! You are seriously such a cute preggers! Can't wait to see pics of the babe
Ally, I am so excited for you. Wait to be patient and make it through this hard time in your life. YOu are going to be a great mom!!. I am sorry I couldn't make it to your baby shower. I was out of town. Iw as thinking of you though. I can't wait to see what your little one looks like.
I am so proud of you. I think it is very selfless of you to keep down even after he gave you the okay a week or so ago. You are already a wonderful momma. You deserve a healthy boy!!
You are amazing... what a great attitude about everything. I can't imagine how hard this was on you, but you will be blessed for enduring it so well. Good luck with the new baby (when he comes). You will be a wonderful mother! :-)
You look great!!! I love your belly!!!! Cant wait to see him!!!
Yay!! I knew you could do it! So excited for this little one. I will have to take you on a "real" shopping trip, and you know I know how! Good luck with the next couple weeks, it will be great!
Hi, Ally, you may not remember me, but I'm Jay's wife. I think we've met once :) I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story. I just stumbled across your blog the other day and started reading it. I'm glad you were able to rise over this situation, and soon you'll have a delightful baby boy! Congratulations to you and your husband!
Hooray! I will be thinking of you tomorrow and hope it goes well. When are we going to make our Park City trip?
I am so glad that you guys have almost made it. I didn't even realize everything that was going on, it had been so long since I had seen you. It was so fun going to your shower and seeing you and your cute little baby. Kattie did such a great job I could have eaten all the food all day long. I am so excited for you guys to get your little guy here. I'm sorry everything that you had to go through to get him here, but it is so worth it. I'm sure you have felt that from the start. Keep getting your rest:)
Good luck with everything Ally! I am really excited for you guys!
Congratulations that you have made it this far. I bet it is so nice to be able to get out of the house again! Can't wait to see pictures of the little guy when he gets here.
Ally, wow, I had no idea! I'm so bad at blogging lately, I haven't read up on hardly anyone's, but my hubs started work at T-Mobile again and has spent a couple days with Chris, so that made me think, "I should go look at their blog". You guys are so blessed! How great that must feel to be 37 weeks, your baby will be so healthy and beautiful, I'm so happy for you! I can't imagine how scary that would be to hear news like that at 21 weeks, and have so long to go with so many possibilities of something going wrong. I am so happy for you guys and wish you the best! Good luck, and enjoy that little miracle!!
Yeah! I can't believe it's here! The wait is over. I can't imagine being on bed rest like that. Good luck! I"m so excited for you!
