Pregnant Mommies

I've said before how 3 of my best friends were pregnant and how the 4 of us are due withing 7 weeks of each other. I've really wanted to get a pic of the 4 of us together, but it just hasn't happened. We're never all together at the same time. Two of them have now delivered, so it's really not going to happen now. I got a pic at the scrapbook expo of Me, Tina and Michelle and now here's a couple pictures of Me, Tina and Jenny. You can really tell a difference in what a month can do when you're pregnant.
I liked this picture because you can't really tell how pregnant I am in the middle of Tina and Jenny, but then Alisha made us turn to the side. We joked that they were our mug shots. And I just noticed that Jenny's obnoxious husband is giving her bunny ears in this picture. Nice Aaron.

Now with this shot there's no hiding the fact that we are all pregnant.

Jenny ended up delivering 5 days after this picture was taken, and Tina delivered the day after that. Jeremy was starting to get a little freaked out that we were going to do this one right after the other, but I'm bound and determined to have this kid keep cooking for another 3 1/2 weeks.

Just to update everyone on how things are going with my pregnancy...I have now officially made it past the time when I had Grant. This is a big step for me to get past. I know that he wasn't really born that early (35 1/2 weeks), and that he had complications that caused him to be the way that he is, but I'm still happy to have made it past that point. Because of my history my doctor wants me to do non-stress tests. I went in for my first one this week. Everything is looking pretty good right now. My blood pressure continues to be great. I am always worried about my blood pressure because of how much water I am retaining in my legs, but every time I go in my blood pressure looks great. My amniotic fluid levels are looking good. I had 3 contractions during the 20 minutes that she was monitoring me. She seemed a little worried about this, but said as long as they don't remain consistent we're ok. I am still having some, but they aren't consistent enough to worry me, yet. We'll see how that goes over the next few weeks. Like I said...I'm bound and determined to have this baby on May 27th when we have it all scheduled, for my sanity and everyone else's sanity. I'll keep you updated.

How fun to all be expecting around the same time. Glad to hear that your pregnancy continues to go well. It was so nice to catch up with you at lunch on Monday. We really need to do it more often.

And the convenience of having your mother and sister there!
