35 weeks

Still having contractions! She is a determined little thing! I had an OB appointment today. The baby is doing well. I had an ultrasound last week because my belly is still measuring two weeks behind where it should be. She is measuring right on track so I think its just because she is hiding around the side/back...some women have the little basketball..I have the tire :) She was 5 pounds 3 ounces last week! I'm still on bedrest (boring!) and on medicine to stop contractions (though it is only slowing them down, not stopping them. I still have a lot through out the day which is really frustrating...nothing like having pointless labor for a month. I'm thankful that I've been able to keep her cooking for this long but its not fun to have contractions all the time for no reason.) This Tuesday I will be 36 weeks so they are going to take me off of bedrest and off of the medication so we will see what happens!

33 weeks

I went back to work on Saturday for the first time after the labor Wednesday...well, for about two hours. I had been having random contractions since then (about 10 a day...ouch they hurt!!). But while I was working Saturday I was having about 4-5 contractions an hour. So I told my midwife and she sent me back to l&d to monitor contractions (the nice thing about being at work was that my midwife was right there working on my floor too and I only had to go downstairs to get to triage...makes it easy!) They monitored a couple contractions and then did an ultrasound. She's doing great...active and a good heartbeat...we even got to see on the ultrasound that she has hair (sorry, they didn't give me any pics!) So its bedrest for me until it would be ok to deliver (about another 4 weeks) and medicine to stop contractions. Hopefully I won't go crazy!

32 weeks

Last Wednesday, I went in to labor at 32 weeks. Though I had been having contractions off and on for the last several weeks, they had been irregular up until this point. We had just gotten home from lamaze class when the contractions started coming closer together. Soon they started coming every 4 minutes like clockwork. So we headed back to Kennestone (my home away from home!). The contractions kept coming while I was on the monitor so they gave me two doses of a medication to stop them. That worked so we headed home around 4am. I think when we were taking the tour of labor and delivery during our class that night she thought it was time to come!

This is the ultrasound pic from 28 weeks- we finally have a shot of her face! I had an ultrasound at 28 weeks because my belly was measuring 26 weeks instead of 28 weeks (turns out it was because she was still laying sideways).
