31 Weeks

A beautiful day in Seaport Village!

This week we had our first birthing class. It will be every Tuesday night for the next 6 weeks and end with a tour of the hospital. We are very excited although the 7:00-9:30 time frame is not going to be easy when I am used to being in bed at 8:00. 

We had a little bit of a scare yesterday when I had a few days of cramping and a little spotting. After calling my doctor just to ask her a few questions, she suggested I head straight to the hospital. I ended up going after work and they admitted me into the women's center and hooked me up to all of the monitors and checked for dilation etc...a bit dramatic considering I really knew everything was ok, but they just don't mess around when you are pregnant and in danger of preterm labor...

Everything was completely fine and the baby looks perfectly healthy. I am not dilated but she recommended that I slow down and just take it easy these last 8 1/2 weeks. She did say after checking me that she could feel his head and that he is pretty low which causes pressure and could have caused the spotting. At least he is head down, right?!? 

She ok'ed me to continue working full time but suggested coming straight home to rest each night. Feet up, rest, enjoy the last couple months and refer all cleaning, cooking and laundry to daddy. (; 

Even though I have the best husband in the world and he would absolutely let me sit on my butt for the next 2 months, I would never be able to do it. I am going to try my best to listen to my body and take it slow but it is not going to be easy. 

Thank you Lord for protecting this little guy!
