Waiting, waiting, & more waiting!
Just got back from the Dr. with my hubster. It went very well - baby's 6 pounds 2 ounces and still a week ahead of schedule! I got a chance to talk with the Dr. about awful pelvic pain I've been having & he's decided that it's from the accident and previous pelvic damage. My fear in all of this pain has been that carrying the baby another 4 weeks was going to end up injuring my pelvis again - the Dr. is certain that a situation like that would be VERY, HIGHLY unlikely - which was exactly what I wanted/needed to hear! Our son is still growing big and healthy and we're now just waiting for either September 21 to arrive, or my body to go into labor! Which of course if it does, they will be taking him out to avoid any damage. I also found out that the accident pushed my cervis further up, so it's a great thing that I'm all for the csection because if I wasn't, it looks like I would have had one anyway! The Dr. reminds me that the baby's already too big and I'm way to narrow to successfully deliver. What a praise! Please continue to pray for a healthy little boy with fully developed lungs & a healthy rest of the pregnancy for my body & Nick as well! We love you!

34, 2
I am currently 34 weeks, 2 days and am thrilled about that! Even though all that means is that the baby is getting bigger and BIGGER and I'm getting more and more uncomfortable.
The heat is still absolutely ridiculous and I'm hoping that if Nick and I decide to have another we can possibly plan it for sometime other than the summer! (but no worries, we're not looking at that for another 5 years?? ha). I spend most of my time, still, inside with fans and ice. My legs, because of nerve damage, are finally not holding up as well. I think Nick and I both knew this would happen one day, but just not this soon. I have lots and lots of pressure and the baby has already dropped a few inches so that doesn't help much! So all of that meaning I spend my time either in the bed or on the couch with my feet elevated to help prevent swelling!
Our next Dr.'s appointment is May 24 and then we'll only have 4 more weeks until this baby's arrival which is very exciting - I think we're both TOTALLY READY for him to get here! Everything is washed and put away, his diaper bag is packed for the hospital and tomorrow we're getting his car seat installed. HOORAY!
Please continue to pray for a safe pregnancy and healthy baby boy. We have so much going on, MORE DETAILS TO COME LATER, and are definitely walking closely beside our Lord! Pray for no stress this last month as that wouldn't be the best thing. We look forward to sharing more after our next appointment!
Love you!

Our Last Shower!
We had our last shower on July 25. My friends from church, Kristina, Selina, & Rachael threw this for me! It was definitely the best shower we've had!
We got to dress up and wear pretty hats. I almost didn't give mine back at the end of the day! The cake was delicious, presents were incredible, & time with friends - AMAZING! The thing that made this shower so much fun was that - I know this will make me sound awful - BUT this shower was not all about our son. It was more about celebrating this time with me! I LOVED that. It was a whole "From Divahood To Motherhood" theme! And Rachael made THE BEST punch I've ever had!
Little Hendrickson got plenty of fancy things: Outfits, Diaper Cakes, Bibs (we might have 100 now!), Blankets, Books, Diaper Bag, Bottles, Pacifiers, Nursing Pads, Nursing Necessities, Bottle Liners, Bumbo, Baseball Toys, Shoes, Socks, Cds...All kinds of things!
About a week after the shower, Nick and I were able to make our "final" trip to Babies R Us to purchase the left over items from our registry. This included our Carseat/Travel Stroller, Monitor, Excersaucer, Floor Play Mat, Diaper Genie, & a few other randoms we forgot about until that trip! This was a great date night for my hubster and me. We enjoyed shopping together for little man and are finally ready for him to get here (or as ready as we will be!).
I go to the Dr. again on Monday (Aug.10) and will have more updates then!! Love you all -
