Woo Hoo is all that I can say!! Well last week I went to a doctor's appt and he ever so gently reprimanded me because her tummy was still 2 weeks too small and he's asked me to relax and stay down. I thought I was, but apparently not enough. He explained how critical this point is for her to gain weight and if I am moving around a lot, all of the blood, energy etc. is going to other limbs and parts, not to her. So, he decided to put me one notch short of bed rest. I wasn't allowed to cook, clean, lift etc. I had to be laying or sitting at all times. So I obeyed and Carson has been so great to do dishes and dinner etc. Madison has turned into my little gopher. She doesn't complain either. Wow, what a blessing they have been. It sounds like paradise, right? No cooking or cleaning. But for those who know me well, it's been torture!! I cannot stand to watch my husband get home from work and finish dinner and then clean up and do the dishes!! It kills me, but he just smiles. Ah, he's so wonderful.Anyway, so the ultrasound today said, SHE'S PERFECT!! Her tummy is measuring right on target and there is no cord around her neck, she's over 6 and 1/2 pounds, her head is perfect and she even has lots of hair to top it off!! (I was told the heartburn connection to your baby having hair is an old wives tale, but I believe it. I have had terrible heartburn for the most of this pregnancy.) She also said that Elayna has tiny nose. We'll see. He is going to let me go to full term, we will not need to induce her. He will if I don't have her by the due date, but not like we thought we would have to. I firmly believe that it was partly bed rest and hugely the part of prayers. Thank you to all of you who have prayed for our little one and exercised your faith in our behalf. We are so happy and excited.
Around 2 and 1/2 weeks left!! Hee hee! Well, I have to continue the bed rest until I have her, but my ward is great and my parents are coming on her due date and again, Carson and Madison are the most wonderful people ever!! You can do anything for 2 weeks right? = )
P.S. Here are some final preggo pictures that lots of you have asked for!!

That is so great about your sweet baby girl. Keep her in there baking as long as she needs! You look great-you are all baby, you are lucky girl! It was so nice to see you and Maddie the other day! We really want to take you out to lunch sometime-can you do that while on bedrest? Let me know if and when you can do it!
You have such a beautiful family and I enjoy 'keeping in touch' through your blog. Can't wait to see pictures of the new little one.
Hey! I feel/felt your pain, baby! Bedrest is great...for like one day! Then it's harder than anyone who has never had to do it can imagine! Hang in there...you're so close! I can't wait!! Give me a call sometime!
Kandi I'm so glad your both doing good. Keep my soon to be cute little niece cookin until she gets fatter. Thanks for the awesome birthday song. I loved it! I'll give you a call soon.
You look so good! I'm glad the baby is doing so well.
And as for the heartburn wives tale, I too am a believer! I had it so bad with Ellsie! When she was born, the nurse compaired her mounds of hair to a hispanic baby!
Your almost done, hang in there. Carson too :)
