Well we made our 39 Week appointment yesterday, Friday the 11th.
I was discouraged because last week, little miss had moved herself up some from her low position the week before and decided that helping mommy go from fingertip dilated to NOTHING at my 38 week was fun!.. I was def, not happy about this at all!
But this week was def. more positive!!
I had a long conversation with my doctor and found out great information to all my unanswered questions! I really love this doctor!
Well anyway so here are the details, if you are not wanting to know the TMI, the stop reading now!!
I was measuring 39 weeks, (same as the week before) which is a good sign she said! I didn't gain anymore, and Bralyn has DROPPED back to where she belongs!! I knew my Pelvic bones felt bruised! (*SERIOUSLY they do).
I am also 1 cm dilated AMEN!! only 9 more to go!!
After finding out my doctor doesn't induce until you go late, she said could Scrap my Membranes though and it might start contractions or at most help me dilate more!!
YAY! Ok great I said, *um not realizing it HURTS like nobodies business*..
Anyway with that said and done, I have had some small contractions and pains here and there since last night!
PRAYING in the next day or two something FUN happens!
If not we might try that Castrol Oil!
My family here for the week, and I am ready to meet our ANGEL!
They also predicted she would be like 7 1/2- 8 pounds at birth! AMEN no 9-10 pound baby!! SO come on BABY GIRL! we are ready to meet you!
(next appointment is March 17th.. don't really wanna make that one. haha)

Patrick's Injury
So Patrick has to not only Coach Football (yearly job seriously), Teach, be a Husband, and Soon to be Daddy, but he has to coach Track too :( ...
At Harnett Central you have to coach 2 sports, so Track was given to him! Although I can't complain of the blessing the extra little income is, I will say it now takes him away from us in the evenings for practice, weekends (Saturdays like today) and late night meets on Thursdays or Fridays.
Well his first meet with the team was last Thursday the 3rd of March.
I receive this text from him about 6pm that night, that read, "So I think I need Stitches".
What?!! he went on to say I got in the head, but not going to the Hospital. See you when I get home!
Well lets just say, he probably should have gotten Stitches (but he is a true man, lol).
He was warming up his guys/girls he coaches with the disks and one sweet girl lost her grip or let go and it came straight for his head! Right above his left eyebrow! THANKFULLY his glasses got most of the hit or I am sure it would have been a much deeper gash!
(let me pause to say the Oakley's I got him as a Wedding gift.. Yep those.. AHH!! But the lenses can always be replaced. :(....)
Well we kept bandaids on it and butterfly strips, and on Friday at school the nurse used the Glue to seal it.
It has been now a week and 2 days and it is still semi open and def. there! But the good news it is finally looking better! The bruises for days after made it very pretty!! haha!!
His favorite part of the story was that when I realized he was fine, I said. Babe what about when we have Bralyn and the pictures in the hospital. Your all beat up haha!
But listen that is all I have on my brain right now is having this sweet angel! So can you blame me??!! Please come on people I am getting to my due date, no baby yet, I am HORMONAL at best!!
(thought you would enjoy this story haha!)

38 Week Appointment
On Friday the 4th I had my 38 week appointment!.. It was a good appointment to the fact that Bralyn was VERY ACTIVE yet again, and her heartbeat was 137, which it has been, which is GOOD!..
I always enjoy hearing her sweet little heartbeat!
I am measuring 39 weeks, and they have me at 37 weeks still, so due to measuring 2 weeks ahead, this week I am going to check and see if we can get an estimate of her weight!
Still nervous about if she might be 9-10 pounds OUCH!.. Not gonna happen with this girl.. haha!
We had no more progress, but I had a LONG talk with her and told her that the 24th was NO OPTION! So maybe she will listen to her mommy and come this coming week!
My family will be in town on Saturday the 12th -18th. so If she wants to arrive in that time, SHE NEEDS too!!
My 39 week appointment is this coming Friday the 11th!.. :) So ready to meet this precious angel and start our family and life of 3~

SURPRISE BABY SHOWER TODAY!
Today we had a Surprise Baby shower at our home Church. Piney-Grove Baptist Church in Fuquay, NC. We have been so blessed to be apart of such a wonderful church family and Sunday School class! We also have fallen in love with our small group bible study that meets every other Tuesday night!! LOVE that group of people!!
But today in Sunday School, they had a surprise shower set up for us when I got there! It was so Sweet!! With wonderful FOOD and GOODIES to eat and enjoy, and a wonderful Gift Card, that is allowing us to get our Rocker/Glider Combo set for our Nursery!! THEY ARE A BLESSING!
We are so thankful for them in our lives and God allowing us to be apart of their lives as well!
They also announced they will be providing meals for us the first week or two after Bralyn arrives so we have plenty of meals! Did I say yet what a BLESSING they are??!!
SO thankful that God brought such incredible people and friends into our lives here in NC!

FULL TERM 38 Weeks TODAY!
WOW we made it!! We are FULL TERM!... Yes that means sweet baby girl Bralyn we can meet you now and we would be ok with that!!! :)
Her Due Date by Measurements is March 14th, but our original EDD (estimated Due Date) was March 24th, so our office is a week behind on charts still and will hold us to that date if she were to go past the 14th. So that part stinks, because she won't be considered late until after the 24th..
But we are READY NOW :) ..
My appointment is Friday the 4th.. So I will be busy this week walking etc!
My family will be here in 12 days and I pray she arrives either before or the week they are HERE~
~The Turners~
Will update after our appointment

37 Week Appointment
We were 37 weeks this past week! WOW! Almost at FULL TERM already?? Not sure where the pregnancy went! The first trimester was spent packing up our home, moving to NC, buying our 1st home, unpacking, FOOTBALL SEASON, Nanny to two sweet children, Working daily and weekends sharing my time with Football and my Husband, Thanksgiving, Christmas breaks, LOTS and LOTS of traveling to families in Nov and Dec, My birthday, Traveling to Baby Showers in Florida, Showers here in NC, Patrick's birthday and now we are at the END!..
It has been a very BUSY but FAST pregnancy! I am so thankful we were pregnant for the most part through all these busy seasons of our lives with school, football and holidays! It sure did make it easier then just sitting and counting and waiting during the slow months :) .. I have only felt the last 2 weeks or so are crawling by, so we can't complain at all there!
We have been blessed with a Great Pregnancy, and of the small restrictions early on, that God removed all fear and troubles and we are now having a Great final Trimester!
So on to the APPOINTMENT :) ..
Had the Group Strep B test done and will find out this week (yes weekly appointments AHH), if I am positive or negative with Strep B.
We were checked for measurements and we are measuring at 37 weeks! YAY and Great heartbeat of 135. She hit 160 while in the office, as she rolled and turned and made the doctor chase her for a few minutes! I am telling you she is BEYOND ACTIVE.. :) We are gonna have our hands full for sure!
We were also checked for dilation and progress! I was praying for a lot of progress, but I will take what we can get! I keep hearing 1st time babies like to take their time and be LATE :( so we will see if she is stubborn too! haha
I am about a finger tip dilated, if that, and 50% effaced!
My next appointment is Friday the 4th, so we will see if there is anymore!
Did I mention I am walking 2 times a day, doing some squats etc to help make some more progress too! haha!

Wow Where did Feb. Go?
Not like I am pregnant or something and don't seem to find the time to blog haha!. But where did the month of Feb. go??
Patrick and I celebrated Valentine's day together at home, with a home cooked meal, and had fun exchanging candies etc. On Friday the 18th Patrick turned 29 years old!!.. Yes he is old I know :) . We enjoyed a WONDERFUL date night out to eat and the movies! That is our first movie as a couple since living in Charleston! It was a blast, but we both realized quick we don't have many more of those nights left before Bralyn arrives! :)
On Saturday the 19th we had a WONDERFUL Couples Shower given to us by the Coaches and their wives!.. We started the shower off at Cooley's Wing House and then ended at the Bennett's house with Incredible Desserts!.. We had a blast playing some babies games, and spending time celebrating the soon arrival of our sweet little angel!
Did I mention that Feb was a busy month??!!... We then spent Sunday afternoon and Monday taking Maternity pictures! We had so much fun taking them and getting to just spend time together again as Husband and Wife, without the work schedule and stress!
I know we will cherish these pictures for years to come! I can't wait to put them in frames in her Nursery!
As we tackled the last week of the month, we finished washing Bralyn's clothes, packing my Hospital bag and marking week 36 and 37 of this Pregnancy!.. So thankful and Blessed for God's continuing love and blessings in our life!
