Dr.s Appt

So I had my 34 week dr. appt today. And due to having lots of contractions they "checked" me and I'm already 1 cm dialated and 50% effaced. The dr. is confident I'll make it at least to my next appt at 36 weeks and then from there we'll see where we're at. (My babies tend to come early- Brock came at 37 weeks and with Scott I dialated to a 3.5 by 38 weeks even though I ended up getting induced at almost 40 weeks.) I'm just hoping to make it at least to Oct 20th (37 weeks) and then all bets are off.... With Scott having to spend a few days in the NICU and Brock having to be kept under observation in the nursery- both of them for breathing issues- I'm not wanting a pre term baby that has to be in the NICU or anything. So keep on baking baby!!!

But to explain- I have been having basically non-stop contractions when I am up doing anything. But they calm down and almost stop as soon as I lay down- which is great (that they stop I mean). I'm having one right now as a matter of fact.... how fun!

So I'm just gonna chill for another 2 weeks until we get my shower and Young Womens in Excellence out of the way and then I'm going walking for hours and working on getting this baby here as naturally as possible.... (I know I'm insane! don't bother reminding me :)

I'm going to go lay down (my poor husband gets stuck with most of the housework and such and we prob won't have a decent home cooked meal for a few months since I have to be off my feet most of the day to avoid massive ammounts of contractions- what a STUD though!!!!! I love him!!!!)

Yikes! You better be doing these posts from bed! Let Dan spoil you...you deserve it. And although I know you don't want your girl to get here too early, I am SO excited to see her! But not too soon :)
