Well, I guess that I can now update a bit about the last week or so. I was pretty frustrated on Sunday so I figured updating the blog was probably a bad idea. I would scare away my few readers ;)
On Friday afternoon I started to have more regular contractions so I went in to L&D. They said I was dilated to a 2 and 50% effaced and since I was 34 weeks they would just let me have him. Well, after talking to the OB I decided I wanted to have the steroid shots for babies lungs so they started those and gave me a drug to stop the labor. I guess I went back to being dilated to a 1....and there I have sat since.
We stayed at the hospital through Sunday evening to make sure I had the steroids in for 48 hours and to watch for any more signs of labor. I have continued to have contractions for 5-8 hours of the day since they started on Friday but they don't progress my labor. So, now I'm at home again...trying to sleep when I can and HOPING that the time goes by fast. I will admit that the logical part of me is gone and all I want is him out...but I'm trying to be good and follow doctors orders to give little man more time to grow. The good news is that I have barely over a month till my due date...so there is an end in sight. YEAH!
Well, I head in to see my doc in a few hours here and maybe I'll have more answers after talking to her. I'll update when I know more.

33 weeks and counting
Well, I am slowly but surely trying to get this little guy to the world...He seems to be a little over anxious so I'm still on bedrest. Now a days I can't do much with out feeling contractions so i'm doing my best to stay down...although I will admit I'm terrible at it.
We went and had ANOTHER ultrasound yesterday. Since I have a thyroid disorder they watch his growth really carefully in the 3rd trimester. Everything has been fine with that, but it is fun to see him each time.
According to the ultrasound measurements (which are always slightly off, but still fun) says that he is 5 lbs 10 oz already!!! Which just seems crazy to me but it is reassuring since he seems to want to come out early.
The doctor had a lot of fun with the 3D ultrasound...Which means we got to take home some fun pictures of him...Here are a few

Baby Update
Well, I went in for another appointment today and it is all mostly good news. The contractions that I have been having haven't made any changes yet so our little man is still safe inside :) He is measuring exactly 32 weeks which is great and overall both baby and I are doing great!
I'm still on bedrest since the doc is concerned that my contractions are waking me up but I am relieved to hear that everything looks good so far. He needs to stay safe inside for another month or so. I am now for sure off of work until our little man comes, but I'm ok with that. I had pretty much come to that conclusion at this point...
Otherwise life is about the same. I don't think I'm going too crazy. I still read alot, watch a lot of movies, crochet off and on and enter to win stuff online....
Which I'm really excited about because I recently just won a baby bullet! I never really win anything so it was pretty exciting. If you haven't ever tried to win things through blog giveaways I would recommend giving it a chance...This is really the first thing I've won but I didn't have to do much and it was FREE! If you want to check it out http://www.babybullet.com/ It is used to make homemade baby food and it comes with a little mini baby food cookbook for me to try out. Everything looks really nice and I'm excited to see how it works. I'll let you know when I try it out, but it will be awhile....
