Let me tell you about my Tripp............

3 visits to start off my week!

This has been a busy month so far and it's only the 7th!!!  We started school with our students last Monday (August 1).  I had NO idea how hard the first week or even going back to work full time would be.  I was exhausted last week.  On Thursday and Friday I went home and went straight to bed.  I was in so much pain (mostly my back) and just so worn out that going to bed was the only thing I could do!  Please pray that I make it a few more weeks with my students before I have to leave them for 8 weeks.  I have so much to get done at school before then!  My week doesn't look like it is starting off any slower tomorrow.  I have to leave work at 12:00 tomorrow to start my BPP monitoring with Dr. Edwards.  Here is a description from the internet: The biophysical profile (BPP) test measures the health of the baby during pregnancy. A BPP test may include a nonstress test with electronic fetal heart monitoring and a fetal ultrasound. The BPP measures your baby's heart rate, muscle tone, movement, breathing, and the amount of amniotic fluid around your baby. I have to go once a week and have this done until it's time to have Tripp.  On Tuesday I have to go to physical therapy to help with my back.  Then, on Wednesday, I go back to Dr. Talley for my 32 week check up and to get my weekly hormone shot.  That is three trips to Albany in 3 days!!!  Please keep us in your prayers as we get closer to having Tripp and facing the unknowns that lie ahead.  We are beginning to get very anxious about what we will be facing and what Tripp will have to possibly go through. 

Kinsley is getting too excited about meeting her baby brother.  She has to kiss and hug the baby everyday.  When she talks to him, he actually starts kicking and moving even more!  She starts back to dance on Thursday so that is one more thing to add to my to do list!

I have had several people ask me about when Tripp will be born.  I am not sure.  I go back to Augusta August 24 for my 34 week visit and hopefully we will circle a date to try and have the c-section.  When we return at the 37 week visit, I will have to do another amnio and that will determine the exact delivery date.  I hope the test will show the lungs are mature enough and that we can go ahead and have him the next day.  I am so ready to meet him and let the doctors start "fixing" him right up.  Thanks to everyone for following our blog and our story.  I can't believe that the first part of our "Tripp" is just about over.  Hopefully this part will be the hardest part and the road will be get much smoother once he gets here! 

I'll update after my next few visits and let everyone know what the doctors say. 

I have had several people ask me for my address and I can't remember everyone, so here it is. 
John and Summer Hill
PO Box 272
Morgan, GA 39866

Please keep the prayers coming! 

Trust & Rely In the Power of Prayer!
