Prego Update

I have been so busy (and our computers both finally crashed so I've been without interent for about 1month) that I haven't updated much about this pregnancy. There was a period for about 1.5 months where I felt good...ya, then that ended. :( I started feeling sick again towards the end of the day and then further along I just flat out became uncomfortable. I am not a good pregnant person. I am now almost 35 weeks and trucking along. Last monday night I had an episode of strong enough contractions I was in tears and on the ground. It was all the sudden around 4:30pm and lasted about 2.5hrs. I tried drinking water, taking a bath, and then finally I realized if I got down on the floor on my hands and knees like a dog, the pressure finally went away after staying like that for about 25mins. It wasn't super scary because it wasn't severe pressure like she was coming, just random because I haven't even been having many braxton hicks. From monday on I was cramping. Completely new for me as well. I never experienced any of this with Wyatt. I waited til my dr. appt on thursday and had the dr check me. He informed me I was still 6weeks away and doubted anything was strong enough to affect my body, then he quickly changed his mind and was surprised to find I was dilated to almost 2cm. He said this is good news for me trying to have a vbac, but that we need to keep baby inside for AT LEAST 2 more weeks. I strongly agreed and was told to take it easy or baby for sure will be coming soon. Who knows, I could go the full 40weeks, but for the past 2 months I have had feelings that she is coming early. I don't know if I'm just so much more aware of things changing than I was with Wyatt, or what, but I've felt like she's coming early for a while now. The cramping hasn't stopped at all since last thursday, and last night I had 2 more situations with contractions, although not as strong as the ones monday night. We are doing an ultrasound on thurs and hopefully we will learn a little more about baby and what's going on. I would love to be done with pregnancy, but also DO NOT want another NICU baby. It just isn't where I want my baby to spend the first days of their life, have health problems, or add to my bills! :)

The House

UPDATE: Our computers went out and I am trying to post from my moms computer. I can't get my pictures to post. So I will add those later. We have been SO busy getting various projects done on the house. Every night Brock comes home and we have him for about 2 hours and we are constantly busy doing something. Our first project was adding rocks to the backyard grape area. Then we painted the outside gold lights, then the inside gold lights, brock made me another kitchen table, we brought in all our stuff from the trailer that was in storage, had a yard sale, made about $450, painted the downstairs bathroom and laundry room, been preping for the little girl coming (quickly), and keeping up with the grass and weeds that never stop growing! Phew, we seriously are exhausted every single night. Wyatt doesn't go to bed til about 9:30pm when we do because we just can't stop to get him into bed and he loves helping his daddy with everything! Here are some of our DIY projects!
