34 weeks!

Well, Friday started an adventure I was sure we were not going to have to experience for a few more weeks. I started having pretty severe Braxton Hicks contractions at school. They were coming every 8-10 minutes, which in your 33rd week is not a good thing. I called my Dr. and she sent me home to lay down and told me if I had more then four the next hour to go to the hospital. That next hour I had 5 so I called my husband and he met me at the hospital since it is on his way home from work and I could drive.

The nurses hooked me up the monitors and I turned out to be having contractions like I thought. I however was not dilated which is why they did not put me on bed rest! Praise God! I am not sure if I could stay on bed rest since I am naturally a person who is constantly needing to do something. The Dr. told me to go home, get plenty of rest this weekend and drink A LOT of water!!! After the hospital visit my amazing husband took me to PF Changs and we went home and watched a movie! On Saturday I was able to go to lunch with a dear friend who was leaving to go back home to Germany and even was able to fit in a 2 hour nap! It has been a fun and relaxing weekend, considering how it started out!

I go to the Dr. tomorrow so I will update you on what she says!

Here is a picture of me at the beginning of the 33rd week!
