Marisa at 34 weeks

These aren't the best pictures of me, I know. I've kind of gotten attached to my rocker lately, thanks to my Dr. Last Thursday at my appointment the nurse was a little worried because I was still having some contractions and I was almost 34 weeks. They did an ultrasound and said everything looks good except that I'm pretty much 100% effaced. The Dr was in surgery and so they didn't check to see if I was dialated or not. I was given strict instructions to go home and lay down- no sitting in chairs and if I'm in a recliner to recline back and kick my feet up. If I have at least 2 contractions, I'm suppose to go the hospital- even if they send me back home. That doesn't sound like much fun to me. I am to do nothing around my house! That is a hard thing to do since that's not my personality. Thank goodness I have a great family that has been helping keep the house somewhat clean and we have great neighbors that are bringing in meals to us. I go in on Tuesday the 4th to see how things are. By then, I'm hoping he says I can get off bed rest for good and let the baby come whenever. My feelings are that all is fine with the baby. I just worry that my water will break at home and I won't make it to the hospital in time. It's a good 25 minuted drive! Guess we'll see how this week goes. We will keep everyone posted! Oh the joy of having kids! She'll be worth it though!
