What a day

So the last couple of days i have had this feeling of my stomach tightening sorta like he was just pushing his little body outwards, so i didn't really think anything of it. Well yesterday morning after i ate breakfast i had about 3. So i called my mom and she told me just to lay down and see if they go away. Well they didn't go away so i was timing them and had about 5 within that hour. So i called a nurse and explained the feeling and what was going. She asked me how far along i was and when i said almost 35 weeks she told me if i keep having anymore to come in. So i layed down and drank some water and still had them. Eric's mom called me and said that if they are the Braxton Hicks then usually getting up and going for a walk or doing something around the house should make them go away. So me and eric got up and decided to go for a walk, apparently that isn't the best thing to do haha. So while we were on our walk i had about 3. Called the nurse again and it was a different one so she basically just told me the same thing. They weren't hurting me at all they were just uncomfortable so i figured i would wait it out and see how i slept and what would happen today. I slept great so i thought maybe it was just that day or whatever. Well i had breakfast and within that half hour i had about 4 so me and my mom decided we better go down to the hospital just in case.

So they hooked me up to the monitor and checked me and i wasn't dialated at all. I was thinned but she didn't want to check me for too long since that can start to dialate it. So i layed there for about an hour and she came in and said my contractions were pretty consistent, and they were about 3-4 min apart. So she gave me a shot of Trebutaline (sp) Once that kicked in my contractions were flat. I didn't have any for about 30 min. So Dr. Breintenbach came in said just to take it easy, then noticed my contractions were starting up again, so he sent me home with a prescription of the Trebutaline. I basically just have to take it easy and not do anything that would put me into labor. We are both doing great, other than i HATE the way this medicine makes me feel, but i know he is so much better inside than out. It definately has been a nerve racking morning but everything is good and i will try and keep everyone updated :) I think my little boy might be here sooner than we thought....:)

32 weeks :)

So this week i am 32 weeks, Holy cow! Where has the time gone?! I can't believe i only have a little over 7 weeks left. This weekend i am going out to Salt Lake for my baby shower and i am soo excited :) I think once we start getting toys and more baby stuff it will REALLY start to set in :) He moves SOO much i can't even tell you. He will wake me up in the morning about the same time just from moving so much, and i love to just lay there and feel him. I know it sounds crazy, but it's almost like we already are so close and have a special bond :) I just love him so much already and i can't WAIT until i get to hold him in my arms. I really can't believe how much he already means to me :)
I have a Doctors appt. tomorrow and those are my favorite :) i love just going and hearing whats going. Nothing else really is happening in our lives, obviously Aiden is already the center of our attention because that is all that we have going on :) Here is a picture of me at 32 weeks. Enjoy!! :)
