This baby wants out!!!!

January 7, 2008 lisajones22

Well it has been interesting since Christmas.  This little baby wants to come out already.  I bet he just wants to be in his mom and dad’s arms!!! 

I found out on Wednesday, December 26th that I was 1cm dilated and 25% thinned out.  I was really surprise!!!  So some of the activity was contractions.  I got nervous and asked her to check me on Friday before we go through the weekend and I was going to be off until Wednesday the next week due to New Years so that was 5 days.  When she checked me I was the same but I had thinned out 25% more to 50% in 2 days!!!!  I was nervous.  The baby is still to little to come.  He was 35 weeks.  37-40 is considered term.  So it was bed rest for me.  until I see her on Wednesday.  Well mister man wanted to come that next night because I was in labor and I went to the hospital around 10pm Saturday night the 29th.  They stopped my labor with a shot and sent me home.  Rested that day because I didn’t get to bed until 3am.  That night about 1am 12-31-07 I went back to the hospital for more labor.  They checked me and I was 3cm dilated and he came down in the pelvis some!!!  They stopped my labor because I was only 36weeks and sent me home.  We got to bed at 5am that time.  My poor husband and I were soooooooo pooped!!!  Well the baby has been quite since then and I have not made any changes.  I was put on bedrest and today is my 1st day back at work.  We are now 37weeks so it is safe for his arrival any time now.  I go back to the OB on Wednesday and she will strip my membranes to hopefully put me into labor.  We shall see!!!

It kind of sucked being on bed rest that weekend and week because we had plans to go to Main Event a huge game place to play with the kids.  It is ok though because we want to do what is best for this baby.  I feel so blessed to be able to carry such precious cargo for a dear sweet couple!!!!!!!!  Our family is taking such good care of him and working hard to give him the best start for him and his family!!! Thank you G & R for such a precious responsibility.  Y’all are the best!!!!!!!! 

Here is a beautiful picture my friend edited.  It is my hands holding G & R’s hands which are making a heart on their baby (my belly).  It says from our hearts and hands to your hearts and hands.
