Longest 5 weeks EVER!!

Warning: Really long boring post, mostly for me. Also really bad punctuation and no paragraphs but I don't care

Its definitely been a interesting last couple of weeks. After being on mild bed rest for 2 weeks from 33to 35weeks. The contractions got so bad I called in to get a last minute appointment with my Dr. to see whats up. After being checked, finding I was at a 3 & 60% effaced, and a bunch of tears (yes I was crying it hurt that bad) Dr. Horsley decided I was indeed in labor and sent me up to L&D where I was hooked up to the monitors, given one shot to try and stop labor and another shot of steroids for the baby right in the BUTT. That shot was the WORST and will forever be known as the "shot of fire" seriously it was like a wildfire let loose in my butt cheek constantly spreading it was AWFUL!!! Anyway after 6 hours of hanging out there I was finally released with the instructions to be on strict bed rest which basically allows you to get up to go to the bathroom THATS IT for 2 weeks!!. I honestly didn't think I would survive. I got SO BORED, you can only watch so much t.v. and my eyes have been kinda weird this pregnancy so I could not sit and read for long. My family and friends were awesome and took the kids a lot. Adam really stepped up and took over keeping the house clean along with dinners, baths and bedtime all while doing homework finishing last minute projects and studying for finals. Yes I know my hubby is awesome! Anyway the contractions never really stopped just subsided so it made for 2 very long weeks. I finally reached 37 weeks and my Dr. gave me the wonderful news, no more bedrest YAY I was thrilled and was already planning the long walk I was going to go on, until I realized it was Graduation week and there was no way I was missing Adams graduation. So I basically kept myself down for the rest of the week, fighting the urge to give in to the contractions and go walking. Saturday finally came and with it all the festivities of Graduation. I was so proud of Adam and just could not believe that we were finally at that point in our lives YAY NO MORE SCHOOL (well for now we do have masters lurking in the future) but for now NO MORE SCHOOL. And now I was free to have the baby. I was sure it would come within the next few days, I mean come on for the last 4 weeks I had been doing everything to keep him from coming and was suffering from some pretty intense contractions . So now I had been given the green light. Monday I went in and had my membranes stripped so now I am positive he is coming that night. Well he didn't but the contractions did 5-6 minutes apart ALL NIGHT LONG!! Needless to say no sleep for me I just waited and waited convinced they would get closer any minute so I could go in. Well the sun came up and the contractions STOPPED until later that afternoon they came back full force and all over the place. Well now its Wednesday I am 38 weeks today, still no baby but the contractions have been my constant companion popping in at random times, they seem to get the hardest at night which is so weird not sure why. So I am just waiting, its so weird, all this time I have been trying to just keep him cooking a little longer and now when its ok for him to come he won't budge. I wonder if this is a glimpse of his personality. Oh well if he has not come by the 16th my Dr. will start me so either way I will be holding my sweet baby in 1 week I am so excited.

April Fools!!

Best April Fools ever!! Let me just say I have NEVER and I mean NEVER pulled a April fools joke before. I have always wanted to but either could never think of something worthy of doing or would just plain out forget what day it was until it was too late. Well today was different, I sent a text out to some family and friends something like this.

Surprise!! Look who decided to make a appearance.

Baby arrived @ 3:44am this morning 5lbs 19inches

Mom and baby are doing great!!

Mean? Yes. Completely hilarious and totally worth the chewing out I got DEFINITELY!!!!

31 weeks

This pic does not do justice to how huge I feel. I am so ready to meet this little guy I can hardly stand it.

I think he is getting pretty anxious too, I went to the Dr. last week and had a ultrasound and discovered that baby is measuring 9 DAYS bigger so if I went to term I could have a 9 POUNDER are you freaking kidding me?!! Well after that awesome news (sense my sarcasm) I met with the doctor, unfortunately Dr. Horsley was in surgeries so I met with another Doctor who said the option of changing my due date would need to be discussed with Horsley (fine whatever) anyway I told her about the AWFUL braxton hicks I have been having and I mean AWFUL they are more than uncomfortable I can deal with that. She did an exam and found out that I have started dilating its not much but I am (or was) 30% effaced and a 1+ nothing to get freaked out about but something to keep an eye on. Because of my history with Teagan of going in to a appointment with NO contractions whatsoever and discovering that I was dilated to a 5 100% effaced and in active labor, I am kinda concerned. Well I am still having the intense braxton hicks so I am kinda wondering whats up with the cervix now almost 2 weeks later. I meet with the Dr, next thursday so hopefully I can survive that long.

Milestone

You don't think much of it until it happens to your little girl. Then your like WOW my baby is growing up. Olivia lost her 1st tooth and is about to lose another right next to it. Somewhere along the last 5 years my baby girl grew up and is now losing teeth, learning to ride a bike without training wheels, making her own sandwiches and so many other things that excite me and make me so proud of the sweet little girl she is growing up to me. But then there is the part of my heart that misses that little butterball baby.

Future Moviestar

Its a very small part but your looking at a future moviestar.
(pay attention to the little girl towards the end its Olivia)

Its Official

I am pregnant and can no longer keep it a secret, its very obvious I have "popped" I guess thats what happens when your on baby #3 and your stomach muscles mock you with there lack to just hold it in a little longer. So here it is my prego belly at 15 weeks. I feel quite fat and awkward and am pretty dang miserable after 9 weeks of being sick Sick SICK I think I am seeing the end of it ( I hope, man I really hope) Still have my crap days but things are getting better.

Anyway baby number 3 is due May 25th and we are very excited (and scared to death) Olivia cannot stop talking about her new sister even though we continue to try and prep her that it may be a boy. So now she has resorted to begging for a sister in her prayers. But of course we will ALL love what we get.

Snow

Its snowing, and I am curled up with my kids watching Curious George and drinking hot chocolate. This is a perfect day, and its only 8:30 am. I love a good blizzard and cannot wait to bundle myself and the kids up and get out there. WOOHOO for snow!!
