Two Fun Filled Days in a Row

Today we went in for our weekly NST...typically a 30-60 minute test. Turns out I was having pretty good contractions. I had been feeling them for a few days but thought they were nothing more than Braxton Hicks. I was wrong.

They gave me a shot to stop the contractions. It slowed them, but didn't stop them...so they gave me another. Finally - 4 hours later the contractions had stopped and we were able to go.

They said if I was two weeks further along they wouldn't stop labor, but we are just too early right now. They did check me though and I was only dialted 1. I'm supposed to call if I have more than 5 in an hour. I've had a couple tonight, but not 5.

33 Weeks

33 weeks - max of 6 weeks to go -thank goodness!!

Things are going very well. We now go in for weekly NSTs (non-stress tests). The first one went very well and baby "passed" with flying colors. We go in for our second one tomorrow.

I've finally reached that emotional stage that I have known would come. I sorta lost it today. I took Reilly to the ENT based on recommendation for her pediatrician and we have decided to move forward with having tubes put in her ears. The thought of having my baby girl go under for surgery is just heart-breaking and too much for me to take emotionally at 8 months pregnant!! Thank goodness for Daddy!!

I ended up taking most of the day off for "mental health"

pffffff

We went for our ultrasound today - 28 weeks, 2 days. They said all the issues they had last time have resolved - and baby looks great! S/he had her hands over her face, so we had fun trying to get some good face shots!
