Week 36

It has been an exciting week for our little family, here is a recap for you with pictures!

the Thursday before last Matthew had a work Christmas party and it was a formal event, so I made myself a wonderful purple dress to fit the occasion,

Here I am sporting it next to our wonderful Christmas tree,

First I had a doctors apt on Monday where I found out that I group B Strep, which means I have to have a IV during labor which I am not looking forward to at all because the IV has to be in my hand it is really painful. (the veins are big enough anywhere else.)

But on the plus side of all of that I did get to see my little man, look at that cute face! And according to my mom he has great player piano fingers.

Then I woke up from a nap two days later thinking my water broke, so we went back to the doctors, and thankfully it hadn't but that doctor said it wouldn't be to much longer till this little guy is here.

Later that night I couldn't sleep because I was having really bad cramps, only to find out the next day that is a sign of labor and a way for my body to get ready to have the baby. So now I am even on my bed rest (put there by my husband) and very bored. But I am looking forward to the day that this will all be over.

I can't say I have had an increase in contractions, but the intensity has increased quite a lot. I know of to stop and take a breather, where as before I could work through it.

It has gotten harder to sleep at night because of the contractions and pain, but I manage somehow, even if its only a couple hours here and there. Most of the time I sleep during the day because its easier.

So now I am just biding my time, filling my days with reading, sleeping, and sewing.

22 days left!
