Well, I guess that I can now update a bit about the last week or so. I was pretty frustrated on Sunday so I figured updating the blog was probably a bad idea. I would scare away my few readers ;)
On Friday afternoon I started to have more regular contractions so I went in to L&D. They said I was dilated to a 2 and 50% effaced and since I was 34 weeks they would just let me have him. Well, after talking to the OB I decided I wanted to have the steroid shots for babies lungs so they started those and gave me a drug to stop the labor. I guess I went back to being dilated to a 1....and there I have sat since.
We stayed at the hospital through Sunday evening to make sure I had the steroids in for 48 hours and to watch for any more signs of labor. I have continued to have contractions for 5-8 hours of the day since they started on Friday but they don't progress my labor. So, now I'm at home again...trying to sleep when I can and HOPING that the time goes by fast. I will admit that the logical part of me is gone and all I want is him out...but I'm trying to be good and follow doctors orders to give little man more time to grow. The good news is that I have barely over a month till my due date...so there is an end in sight. YEAH!
Well, I head in to see my doc in a few hours here and maybe I'll have more answers after talking to her. I'll update when I know more.

33 weeks and counting
Well, I am slowly but surely trying to get this little guy to the world...He seems to be a little over anxious so I'm still on bedrest. Now a days I can't do much with out feeling contractions so i'm doing my best to stay down...although I will admit I'm terrible at it.
We went and had ANOTHER ultrasound yesterday. Since I have a thyroid disorder they watch his growth really carefully in the 3rd trimester. Everything has been fine with that, but it is fun to see him each time.
According to the ultrasound measurements (which are always slightly off, but still fun) says that he is 5 lbs 10 oz already!!! Which just seems crazy to me but it is reassuring since he seems to want to come out early.
The doctor had a lot of fun with the 3D ultrasound...Which means we got to take home some fun pictures of him...Here are a few

Baby Update
Well, I went in for another appointment today and it is all mostly good news. The contractions that I have been having haven't made any changes yet so our little man is still safe inside :) He is measuring exactly 32 weeks which is great and overall both baby and I are doing great!
I'm still on bedrest since the doc is concerned that my contractions are waking me up but I am relieved to hear that everything looks good so far. He needs to stay safe inside for another month or so. I am now for sure off of work until our little man comes, but I'm ok with that. I had pretty much come to that conclusion at this point...
Otherwise life is about the same. I don't think I'm going too crazy. I still read alot, watch a lot of movies, crochet off and on and enter to win stuff online....
Which I'm really excited about because I recently just won a baby bullet! I never really win anything so it was pretty exciting. If you haven't ever tried to win things through blog giveaways I would recommend giving it a chance...This is really the first thing I've won but I didn't have to do much and it was FREE! If you want to check it out http://www.babybullet.com/ It is used to make homemade baby food and it comes with a little mini baby food cookbook for me to try out. Everything looks really nice and I'm excited to see how it works. I'll let you know when I try it out, but it will be awhile....

GREAT NEWS!
Today I went to my OB appointment and was told I can start to do a little more since my last ultrasound was so reassuring. I'm still off of work at least until my next appointment in 2 weeks but that is ok. Today I am doing what I have wanted to do for WEEKS now....
GO TO TARGET!
Seriously, it is my favorite store I think and I've been missing it so much! Unfortunately that is probably ALL I will do today because this body of mine has gotten pretty lazy being down for so long.
Also on the good news list, I am measuring about 2 weeks early and he is looking great. We had an ultrasound last week and it said he was 3 lbs 8 oz and looked great. It is always nice to be reassured that everything is going well. Our little man just needs to "cook" awhile longer before he comes to stay....we haven't even come close to finishing the nursery ;)

Isn't it ironic?
So, if you asked me about three weeks ago I would have told you that all I wanted was a break from work because I was hurting SO bad by the end of a twelve hour shift. Now I have exactly that I think I'm going crazy!
Here is my day:
10am (or whenever I feel like it)- wake up
11am-actually get out of bed, get dressed and go downstairs to the couch
11:10-turn on the TV
12:00-continue watching tv
1:00-crochet
2:00-TV
3:00-sign up to win free stuff
etc...
I do have to admit that with it just being christmas and new years that it was nice to have time to be home with Justin and the family, but now that that is over I'm a little unsure how the rest of this pregnancy will go. I still have hope that my doctor will decide that all is well and I can return to work this week...I'll keep you posted.
Other than being on bedrest we have had a pretty quiet few weeks. We spent Christmas eve in the new building that Justin finished. His family and a few friends came over for a really nice party. Justin had put a wood burning stove out there to warm it up and it all looked really nice. We all had a great time talking, playing on our new pool table and playing cards. I was perched very nicely on the couch out there and it was very nice.
Christmas morning was very nice with just Justin and me. I got very spoiled and I really enjoyed having our first christmas as a married couple together (and our last christmas as just the two of us). Then after our quiet morning we went up to my parents house were we were VERY spoiled by my parents and enjoyed watching my sister's children open there presents. It was a lot of fun!
For New Year's Eve we went over to my mother-in-laws for a nice evening with Justin's siblings. We had a lot of food and enjoyed watching movies. I sat on the couch and worked on more of my crochet projects.
That is about it for now....today it is back to normal (see the above schedule for my day) Will write more when I have any changes.

The next generation
Well, it has been a whirlwind of a year. We found out the end of July that we are going to have a baby next year. We are getting really excited! Trying to get the nursery together, trying to pick out a name and just enjoying the idea that a new life is coming to our family.
We don't have a name narrowed down at all, but we are excited to welcome a new little boy around April 1st.
Here is the most recent ultrasound picture of our little man :)

The Update
So, I guess being married has significantly altered my blogging habits. Most likely because I have been more busy since I've been married than I ever was before and we don't even have kids yet!! I don't know how all of you mothers out there do it, but I officially have great respect for each of you.
Well, I did get married in January and since then most of my time has been spent trying to help my husband fix up our house and yard. We re-did our family room and it looks so good! My husband is amazing! We also painted our bedroom, put in a new bathroom for the renter in the basement and remodeled both of our bathrooms. We still have a few things I would like done but for now since it is mostly nice outside,(Really wish Mother Nature would decide what it wants to do...) we are working on our yard. Last year all the grass was demolished with other construction so right now we are working on getting a sprinkler system in and will hopefully have grass soon. I can't wait to have a yard for summer bbq's.
Other than house stuff there is not much going on with us but I am happy to say that so far the first 4 months of marriage are GREAT! I'll try to keep you posted on the months to come.
