34 week check in

I'm trying to do these more regularly now that things are starting to happen with pregnancy again.

I went to my OB appt yesterday (I braved snow!) I've been having a lot of pressure and crampy feelings in my cervix, ute area. Also fairly bad lower back pain. Saturday morning through the entire day I was contracting every 8-10 minutes for most of the day. Again on sunday night. When I woke up monday I felt like I'd been hit by a truck.

I had a doctor appointment on tuesday so I figured I could wait it out. Obviously I would have gone in had things gotten worse, but I figured at 34 weeks it wasn't the most pressing thing in the world to be having some false labor or early labor contractions.

Well when I went in to my doctor I explained what was going on, and my OB checked me out. I am 1.5 cm dilated with a VERY low baby. She said that once I get to 4 cm I'll have to get admitted to the L&D and they will get things going from there, especially since its my second, and when I hit 4 with Carson he was born 4 hours later.

I'm still having tons of cramps, and back pain and pressure. So we'll see if I make it to my next appointment on the 31st. Fingers crossed I make it till at least my next doctor appointment. I don't want Ollie to get here to early.

For now, I am still just enjoying it being the 3 of us. I've been trying really hard to go in and snuggle with Carson at night before bed.

Its hard finding a balance between trying to prepare Carson for not having mommy's 100% attention all the time, and wanting to just coddler him until his brother is here because it will be harder splitting the time.  I'm going to miss it just being me and my little man, but I can't wait for Little Buddy to join us. I think we'll be having a lot of fun very soon.

The nursery is almost done. I still need to hang his farm sign and Chris' mom is sending really cute little paper tractors for me to hang from the mobile. I'm really excited to work on this project since its basically the last thing I have to do before he gets here!

Thats all folks
