Is it time for Baby Daniel to arrive?

[DebbieSAChef]

Hello everyone,
THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!

Thank you all for the support, encouragement, advice and most importantly prayers while I was on bed rest. My doctor saw me today for my appt. and told me that I am 36 weeks and one day and officially off of my bed rest.

She gave me her blessing to walk around the block, or the neighborhood and do pretty much everything she told me not to do during the bed rest. The catch, she said, is that I am probably used to the bed rest and will get tired very easily.

I did the laundry today, loaded the dishwasher and cleaned out a closet I have been meaning to get to. I slept for like 2 hours after all that!! LOL

It was great!!! I also went through the garage to search for some things I am selling on craigslist to clean out the garage. I have been having contractions but nothing really serious! I will keep you guys updated!

Now everyone stop praying for the baby to stay in my tummy and start praying for him to come out. I am so anxious to have him. I think it was the 3 weeks on bed rest! I am done with the nursery, washing his new clothes, and setting up his new bassinett in my room. I AM READY!!

I am also tired of my shots and stabbing my fingers with needles. I am very eager to breastfeed. I can't wait to hold little Daniel in my arms!!!

Yay Debbie! May Daniel enjoy his last few moments/hours/days being in your tummy and may he safely be in your arms instead!

Sending baby vibes! I"m sure you are relieved to be up and around!

How wonderful! Good for you for doing what your doctor ordered!

I went through the whole "pray for baby to stay in...now pray for her to get OUT" scenario with our second, who is now six! Had to make an announcement at church for everyone to stop praying, because she just wouldn't come out!

Happy, healthy, easy delivery for you...and soon!

Wow - that three weeks certainly flew by. Well, for me anyway - I'm sure it didn't for you !! Congrats on making it to 36 weeks - I hope Daniel comes out soon and you can hold your precious baby in your arms.

May you be blessed with an easy delivery and a healthy baby!

Congratulations again!

Way to go Debbie! Praying for a smooth delivery now!

 

[dannyzmom]

I am glad to hear you're doing well!!

 

[pamperedlinda]

Good news Debbie!

 

[ChefLisa]

Great news for you Debbie! I think the last month of waiting is the most difficult. However, after the births of each of my children (three) I really missed them being inside. I kept putting my hand on my tummy like they were still there!

Best wishes for an easy delivery of your precious Daniel!

[crystalscookingnow]

Congrats! Now, just continue to make yourself rest! Otherwise you'll be exhausted.

 

[chefkristin]

Yay!!! It must feel so good to be up and about!

 

[tpchefrebecca]

That's wonderful news Debbie!

Many blessings to you!

 

[Chef Endora]

Great news Debbie.

Will someone let us know when little Daniel arrives?

If I would have had a boy, his name would have been Daniel Joseph.

Take care of yourself & don't "overnest"!

 

[AJPratt]

Yea! Let's go dancing!!!

 

[DebbieSAChef]

ThanksThanks everyone for the congrats and blessings my way.

I am trying not to overdue it, but I'm anxious. Really anxious!!!

Chef Kearns "Sandra" is my PC buddy here in town. I will try to let her know if Daniel arrives so she can let you all know. She is leaving Sunday for conference so hopefully this monkey will come out before then.

If not as soon as I am home I will get on here and let you all know. Daniel Joseph, I like the sound of that.
We are going with Daniel Jacob. I doubt this will be a fourth of July baby. Only about 45 minutes until midnight. My husband is working a 24 hour shift, he went in this morning at about 8 and I won't see him until about 8 or 9 tomorrow morning. I wish I could call him and say
"It's time to go to the hospital!!" But my contractions are not cooperating. They come and go and I am getting tempted to go walking around the block!! LOL But I wouldn't because it's dark and fireworks are still going on. They are so loud!! Plus my kiddos and neighbors would think I'm nuts!! LOL

I am so glad for you Debbie. I will pray for a safe delivery for you and Daniel. Can't wait for him to get here and see pics of him!

 

[MissChef]

Yay Debbie!!!
I had my daughter at 36 1/2 weeks! She came out just fine and has been a strong little girl from the start!!!
Congrats! I know how good it feels to return to a normal life! I was on bed rest/light duty in the years of late 1999 and 2000 from Dec. 15 to Feb. 15, where I was able to work, I sat and answered phones all day!
But then on Feb15, I had a bleed that put me in the hospital for 1 day, then I went on full bed rest until May 1st. Then I had a big time bleed that put me in the hosptial, all the way until I had my daughter on the 8th of June! I was officially in the hospital 36 hours shy of 6 weeks!!!
So when I got out, my hubby had to keep telling me to take it easy because I was so happy to be able to move around!
Again, congrats!
