Update

I have not blogged for a long time. We have been so busy. We just finished moving a few weeks ago and a few days ago we finished setting up the new place. It is a lot smaller than our last place but we like it so much more. We went from renting a house to an apartment. All I have been doing lately is packing, unpacking and working. Well I have a lot of time on my hands now.

My doctors put me on bed rest for the rest of the week until I get re evaluated on monday. This past monday after 11pm sometime I had to go into the hospital. I was contracting and it was causing me to dialate. I am only 33 weeks so they were pretty worried. I had been contracting for at least a week now and didn't know it. When I was being monitored I saw each time I was having a contraction but I could hardly tell unless I presses my stomach to feel how hard it was. They gave me an IV. They also gave me 2 shots of terbutaline and a terbutaline pill. None of them worked, my heartrate hardly got above 72. By about 3am I finally got to go home because the contractions stopped. So on tuesday my doctor put me on bedrest for the rest of the week and I'm not sure if I can go back to work yet. I'm still contracting but they are not causing me to dialate. In 10 more days my doctors are not going to try to stop those contractions anymore if I am having them.

So we might have the baby sooner than thanksgiving. I just hope we can hold it off enough for at least 3-4 more weeks. But then again I might be fine until her due date. This week and next week we will be getting the rest of the stuff we need for a new baby. I thought we might be okay for a few more weeks on some of the items but we should probaby get it all now. I don't think I want Jon picking out all the stuff by himself. It may end up seeming like we have a boy instead of a girl.

I hope everything is okay. Good luck! That's pretty exciting that you guys got to move into a new place before she's born. Again, we hope all goes well and that she will decide to bake in there a little longer ;)
