IAM and baby Willie month!

As most of you know, it's Ichthyosis Awareness Month- IAM. I planned on guest blogging on a few blogs, making a few YouTube videos and I even have a speech booked for May 16th! Then reality hit me... In the lower back...about a minute long. Contractions! I'm not sure why I even thought all that was possible this month seeing as how I KNEW William Drake is coming this month but I wasn't being realistic I reckon. I started having contractions yesterday (April 29th) and let me tell ya, they ain't playing around! I'm assuming that they're Braxton Hicks contractions right now but regardless, Willie only has less than 3 weeks before he's gonna be evicted out of my tummy! Mommy's ready for some Willie-lovin'!

Friday (April 26th) I made my 2nd ER trip. First was because I lost my mucus plug and I was a nervous wreck. This time was because I was leaking fluids.. I called my doctor, talked to a nurse and since my OB/GYN is 2hrs away she told me to go to the nearest ER/labor & delivery. I arrived to the ER and they put the monitors on my belly to hear lil'mans heartbeat (he HATES the straps being on my belly!). They saw that the fluid wasn't my water breaking/amniotic fluid but they done an ultrasound to make sure. Guess what? WILL IS UPSIDE DOWN! No more breach babyboy for us! No more c-section! He was also 6lbs 9oz- hims a big boy! :) I'll be 37 weeks May 3rd and I go to the doctor Monday, we're gonna see if I'm dilated.

I'm sure I wont be able to do all the things I had planned on doing for IAM due to being SO busy- getting the finishing touches on Willies room done, washing all his clothes, bottles, etc. I packed our hospital bags last week, he'll be here soon! Prayers would be wonderful! :)


Also- Curt, my mom & I were on the local news Thursday night for IAM and you can see the interview here

    A baby bath gift set makes bath time fun, it includes all the items the parents will need to bathe their baby properly and it’s likely the parents will much appreciate such a gift. If you’re shopping for one child, a baby bath gift set shouldn’t set you back too much.

    Hello Stephanie! I have enjoyed reading your blog...I found you via Blessed by Brenna. I live in the same town she does and she is actually related to some friends of mine, but I have not met her personally...yet. Hopefully, some day I would like to. I am also due on May 24th with a baby boy...but this is my 3rd and I have a C-Section scheduled for this Friday. I have been thinking about you a lot and can't wait to hear about your adventures of being a new mom. Hang in there! You are so close!
