Thanksgiving Day Pics :)

3cm DIALATED!!!

I went to the Cardiologist and the OBGYN Monday morning. The Cardiologist said to keep taking my heart medication Lopressor, that they prescribed me in the hospital.. I'm taking that twice a day, it makes me feel a little nauseated.. but my breathing is better.
Also, he said I would not need a c-section, because they could give me the Lopressor through and IV drip while I'm in labor, so that way my heart rate would stay normal.
Dr. Silverio examined me, and told me I was negative for the Group B-Strep virus I got tested for last visit! After the examination, he informed me I was 3 CM dialated!!!! Such great news! He said it won't be any longer then two weeks until Little Mason will be here, (maybe sooner) I'm hoping sooner!!!! My next appointment is Tuesday, and Brandon will be here Tuesday afternoon for a week for Thanksgiving!!

2nd Trip to the Hospital...

My breathing got so bad tonight that I was in tears, and struggling to even catch my breath. I had to be completely standing up straight just to breath!! Ugh, it is so scary..On top of that I have anxiety/stress so that makes it ten times worse!

After they evaluated me for a while (Mason, of course looks fabulous still) I am now on daily heart medication, and daily anxiety medication.. (THANKS BRANDON'S FAMILY) The doctor stated NO ONE needs to be causing me any kind of stress or anxiety what-so-ever!

Monday is all the doctors appointments, so hopefully we will figure out when Mason will come! Here are some pics of Mom and I while we were in the hospital! (we got bored) haha

It is getting very close!

Thursday night, I realized at about 8:30 pm that I had not felt the baby move pretty much all day, and they say if you don't feel him move at least once an hour to go to the hospital. So Mom and I went.
They wheeled me straight up to labor and delivery this time, bc I am 36 weeks along now, and they were PACKED with babies, and pregnant people everywhere..(a little overwhelming.) They hooked Mason and I up to monitors and of course Mason is completely fine! The OBGYN said she wished all babies looked as great as Mason did on the monitor! :)
Me on the otherhand! I started having contractions, and that's not even what I went in there for!! Some would last for 10 minutes straight :( So, I explained to the OBGYN how much UNEEDED stress I have been under and she said that stress can definetly cause contractions...
She gave me this lovely shot called Nubain, which made me feel like I loved everyone!! haha and of course, I got a wonderful, full nights sleep in MONTHS!!
I go to the Cardiologist and OBGYN Monday!

*Picniking is addicting!!!*

Some of you may have heard...

Brandon's family has been saying some horrible things to my parents and I, and they have also told me that Mason is not Brandon's son, and also told my parents that. Which of course was just horrible.. All I can do is pray for them. Due to my heart condition I am unable to have useless and un-needed drama in mine and Mason's life right now.
It is sad that Brandon's family will never know their grandchild, but it is also a blessing I see the real people now, and not later.God does really work in ways that are for the best. Brandon and I are very excited to have our family all together soon :)

Cardiologist & OBGYN Today!

I had my cardiologist appointment this morning @ 9:00 am, I am having to wear a heart monitor for 48 hours, and I also had an echo cardio gram this morning.
I don't get my results back from the monitor or ECG until Monday at 8:45 am when I go back to see him. The heart monitor is quite a sight! and very annoying!!! But, as long as it's helping to resolve all my issues then I am just going to deal with it.
My OBGYN appointment went well, I'm scheduled to go every week now. this was my 36 week appointment, (I will be 37 weeks next Monday). He did a beta strep test on me, which was yuck! and then measured the baby, and felt to make sure I wasn't dialated or anything.. I might be having a c-section due to my heart condition.. But I will keep everyone posted!
Also, work might have to be cut short, due to my heart :( Which is a sacrifice I will have to take to make sure Mason and I are healthy!

Some Signs of Labor tonight!!!

I have had some signs of labor happen tonight, (I won't go into detail, bc some of them are a little inappropriate to put on here!) But none the less, it has started!!
Of course, I had to google everything, and it said when these signs happen it could be hours, or it could be a couple weeks!!

Either way, Mr. Mason Sykes will be here sooner then we know!!! I am beginning to get more and more nervous as the days go by...But also excited.. Brandon will be coming into town Thursday, so maybe this is God's way of having him here for his son being born, and not having to miss any class ;) haha

I will definetly be keeping everyone posted! Everyone keep your phones on at all times!!!
