Contractions

Thursday started as a very normal day at my house but ended quite the opposite!! Before Scott left for work I told him I was having more contractions than normal but I have been contracting since 13 weeks so this is pretty old news for him. I ran the errands that I needed to in the morning and came home around lunch time to decorate and clean the house! It was about 2:30 when I noticed that I was having contractions pretty close together! I started to time them and they were about 5 minutes apart. So I called my mom and asked her when I was supposed to call the dr! She told me I wasn't in labor but to call if they got closer! A little more movement and they were down to 4 mins apart! I called the dr office and said "I know I'm not in labor right now but I am 34 weeks and contracting a lot when do you want me to come in? She told me to come to the office and have An NST just in case! So Siena and I loaded up the car and off we went! The NST showed that I was contracting about every 3-4 minutes! She sent the strip to the doc and he wanted me to come get checked at the hospital and be monitored a little longer! I walked over to scoffs office told him the crazy story and we were off to labor and delivery! Once there they started monitoring me and my contractions had then moved to 2 mins apart! They checked me and I wasn't making cervical change (thank heavens) so they gave me some pills to stop the contractions and told me to slow down until 36 weeks! I will be 36 weeks on the 15th and I think might go for a run that day;). I am so eager for this little one to arrive but she needs to wait a little longer!
While pregnant with Siena the 3rd trimester was my easiest but this time I am not feeling so great! I have the worst pain in my butt every time I try and move! It is quite debilitating and the by the time I sit for three hours at church I can hardly move the rest of the day! I am also at a point where everything I eat makes me sick... Not sick enough to throw up just enough to feel gross! The list of foods I can eat are so slim at this point that I'm going through two loaves of bread a week! Thank heavens for coke! I don't know what I would do to get through the day if I didnt have 3 cans of coke!! I also am slightly addicted to tums! I sometimes get heartburn when I think of eating! Siena gets jealous every time I pop three tums and wants candy! If only she knew that this was in fact the most disgusting candy mommy had ever eaten maybe she would change her mind!
I go in for an NST on Tuesday and a BPP on Wednesday plus I see the doctor that day! Hopefully things will stay uneventful until 36 weeks and then this little princess is welcome to come join our family! Until then I have a nursery to decorate, a bassinet to finish sewing, christmas to buy and prepare for, and a little one to spend every extra moment I can with before her life changes forever! Hope I can fit it all in!!
