baby?

Well, we have made it to 32.5 weeks. I'l be 33 weeks on Friday!

The past few days, I've been having a lot of cramping that feels like I'm starting my period, and a HORRIBLE backache! The backache has been so bad it's kept me up at night.  I finally decided to call my Dr. today just to be safe.  Well, it's a good thing I did! They checked everything out and found I have a yeast infection, I'm 80% effaced already, and she pretty much just wants out! haha. Their famous words every time I go in are, "wow! you have the hardest stomach we have ever seen/felt!" hahaha. Poor baby girl doesn't have any room to move around in there.

they left me with these words......

"Well, since you are already 80% effaced, expect her to come anytime from now until 2 weeks."

AHH!!!! Freaked me out a little. they hooked me up to a monitor for an hour and said that I'm having a lot more contractions than usual at the point that I'm at. Since I'm high-risk and preterm delivery runs in my family, they are going to keep a close eye on me and little miss.

Am I scared?
yes.
Am I nervous?
yes.
Am I ready?
Not really- haven't really got her room put together or anything.

BUT....I've gotta be ready. She could come tomorrow, she could come next week, she will be here within 2 weeks!! It's a crazy thought.

They did an ultrasound on me today and I saw her HAIR! CURLY HAIR!!! ahh. I'm excited to see what she looks like, but I REALLY am hoping she stays in there until I'm at 34 weeks. 34 weeks is more of a milestone for her.

For now, I have to go in twice a week to get a shot in my butt to help her lungs fully develop. They also told me to stop working....so now I'm a homebody :)



I'm a little nervous, but I know that God will help pull us through this.  I feel like everything is going to be okay, I just need to be calm.


Here's some pics of me and her at 32 weeks!
She's about the size of a squash. I feel like she's a lot bigger than that though haha.

Oh ya, I didn't blog about this but this past saturday, Tanner and I went to an 8 hour birthing class!!!! hahahaha yeah I pretty much made Tanner go with me.  He wasn't too excited at first, but we both came out of the class glad we went! I definitely learned a lot and helped put my mind at ease on some things.

My 2 besties Lexi and Becca threw me a baby shower the end of January, and I got some really great stuff! 'baby girl got spoiled :) I got a pack n play, a bouncer, tons of cute pink clothes haha, diapers, wipes, blankets, and more!! I'm grateful for all my friends and family that went.

Here's some pics :

 I love these girls so much.

I LOVE this picture of me and Lexi. Best friends since we were 6 years old, now we're having baby girls together. Hopefully they will be as good of friends as she and I have been all these years! Lexi's due 5 weeks ahead of me. We will see which baby girl comes first! :) ahh!!!!

Here's to hoping little miss stays in there for at LEAST 2 more weeks  :) We can do it.
