I went to my doctor last Friday and everything is good. I'm still dialated at a 1 and now 75 percent effaced. Nothing really has changed which is a good thing for now! I will be 35 weeks on Wednesday and the docs say that if I make it past 34 weeks then i am pretty much safe to have the baby. I rather wait as long as I can of course for his sake.....but for my bodies sake....i wouldn't mind to have him in the next two weeks. But he will come when he is supposed to! I am still having contractions and cramping but i will have to say that i'm not taking it AS easy as i was before. I guess I just feel so relieved and not as stressed anymore about having him so early.
I know that Heavenly Father has helped me out so much lately and i am so grateful and blessed!
I did set my inducement day for March 1st just in case I go that far! We will see! I will keep you all updated!
Thank you so much for all of your love and support!! Love you all!
A little update on pregnancy...
2nd false alarm...and only 32 weeks...
Yesterday we ended up on going into the hospital again to make sure I wasn't in labor. The last time we went was on New Years Eve at 1 in the morning. I thought my water had broken but everything was good and the baby was great! My wonderful friend came over to be with Andrew and did our dishes and did some laundry! Little stinker....but man I am so grateful for her for doing that! It helped so much! Thank you!!
Anyways, yesterday we went in because my contractions were about every 5 min. apart and i was feeling nauseous and had pre-labor signs. We went in and they said i am dialated at a one and 60 percent effaced. They gave me an I.V. to get me hydrated and also did zulfran to help my sickness go away. We were there for almost 2 hours. They sent me home and I still have to take it easy. I am glad everything was okay and that I wasnt in labor. I rather keep this little guy in as long as I can. I still get contractions everyday, but trying to take it easy and do a little at a time to get prepared for this little guy! I just have to keep telling myself that everything happens for a reason. I know Heavenly Father has a plan and that everything will be okay even if this baby is born early. He is a very special child and he is and will be watched over.
Now we just need to still decide on a name for him. I cant figure it out. I we will for sure once when we see him but so far we only have like 2 names that we have on our list. Any suggestions?
Thank you for all your prayers and for helping us out!
Christmas at my parent's house!
While at my parents house for Christmas, Andrew fell asleep and when Chad went to go check on him he found him laying on top of the dvd player. He didn't sleep much longer because i'm sure he couldn't get much more comfortable! So great!
He got a 4 wheeler and absolutely loves it! He rides on it every single day!
This was a Santa that he did not like at all! I don't get what the difference is between all the Santa's. Once he got the treat bag he was totally fine!
Tradition with my family is to tell a Christmas story and sing Christmas songs. We love it when my dad gets his guitar out and plays it! It makes it that much more fun!
Christmas Parties....
We had a Ugly sweater Christmas party with our friends! Chad's pants are green and I have wreath earings! It was a lot of fun!
Chad's nephews at our family Christmas party!
Andrew really LOVED this Santa. He didn't cry or anything. Santa asked him what his name was and he said very soft "Andrew" and pointed to his chest! It was so dang cute! I wish I recorded it! This was at my family Christmas party.
This year with Chad's dad and family we made ginger bread houses. Chad's step mom made everything from scratch! We did cheat and used hot glue gun. Sorry! But it was so much easier! Andrew kept grabbing whatever candy he could off of the tables and everyone else's houses! He did ruin one of them but I don't think they cared! Let's just say he had WAY too much candy that day!
Took the test.....
I did go in and take the test.....the first time they sent me back home with out taking it because I had to wait 24 hours from yesterdays visit. So, I went back this afternoon and it's a negative! Which is so great!! But now today more than ever i am feeling SO much pressure! I think he is low. I just still have to be careful. They will take another test in 2 weeks to make sure then as well. I just need to keep him in for at LEAST 4-5 more weeks!! I'm sure everything will be fine! I have faith and know that everything is exactly perfect. Heavenly Father sure has been helping me out a lot lately and he does answer prayers!
Thank you for all of your love and support!
FFN Test
Well, I went to the doctor today to make sure that everything was okay. I have been having a lot of braxton hicks/contractions and not just when i'm walking around or doing something but also when i'm sitting down. I wanted to make sure i wasn't dialiating before we left out of town for the holidays. The doctor said i'm probably having pre-labor contractions, which aren't too serious. I'm not dialiating but he said if my contractions get any worse then to go back in and get a FFN test. Which they will test to make sure my body isn't in labor. He also said i am very soft.(the women will know what I mean).I will see how tonight and tomorrow goes to tell me if I should go in or not. It's almost like I should just go in just to be safe, but we will see. What do you think? Go in.....or not?
Finally...a picture of my belly.
