Baby update...oh and Happy Thanksgiving!

So Jesse got home Saturday from Scotland! YEAH! we are always so glad when our daddy comes home... We are slowly getting our Christmas stuff up...its taken a lot to motivate me to do any more decorating....While Jesse was gone i went through this insane nesting stage where i organized every inch of our home, got the babies room ready(as much as i could without knowing what it is) then i decided to paint our bedroom, our bathroom, and the guest bathroom. Also shopped for new decor to go with each. I cleaned and organized the basement and preschool too.

It felt great to get it all done before Jess got home but as soon as he was home that little streak of energy quickly left. I have struggled even bending over to pick up toys, I feel the "more delightful" part of pregnancy has past me and now its just enduring to the end. Which Is actually what my update on my baby is all about....So my due date is the 1st of January, But after my 34 week ultrasound...I wast old the baby is measuring 37 weeks and 5 days....now, i know im not off on dates because i am really good about charting etc when i ovulate...so in other words...this baby is BIG....so strange, we found this out on Tuesday and that night i was having contractions 5-9 min apart for two hours straight...pretty strong ones too...more than i ever felt with the twins. So.....12 in the morning i drove myself to the hospital so jess could stay home with the grils. Not an easy thing to do when your having contractions ever 5 min. But i made it and after all of about 15 min of being watched on the monitors they came scrambling back in my room and gave me a shot of tributaline...and for anyone who has ever had to have this to stop their contractions will know what i am talking about....Your heart races and your face becomes really flushed and you feel really jittery.... but it stopped my contractions on the spot and i was able to be nice and alert when i drove myself home! Good thing is im not dilating....but this whole preterm labor stuff really scares me because i know they are wanting to send Jesse out on another hitch before i have the baby... which could be VERY risky. We still have to try and work that out but im sure in the end it will. So thats the update on the baby. I still plan on keeping this baby in a bit longer so hopefully my body agrees!

Gone so long!

Soooo...im sorry...Im so seriously sorry...I hate when people don't write for months at a time...and it seems like when Jess is home its the last thing i want to do...So Jesse is in Scotland for a week...possibly two i'll find out for sure tomorrow but I haven't wanted to write till i had my pictures to post...Jesse took the camera to Scotland so all my pictures are on there ....so another excuse for not blogging.....Any how once i get all our Halloween pics i will post them it may be Christmas by then. And for my last and final reason not to blog I started my first book since high school and im sure you can guess what it was...TWILIGHT! So i just finished the third book and am on to my final....I have really tried to drag it out as slow as possible because i have enjoyed reading so much i get depressed at the thought that im starting the FINAL book...so most of my free time has gone to that...so again i apologize for not writing although im sure many of you understand that last excuse!

So the baby is doing great.....for the past month or so I seem to crave crushed ice like you wouldnt believe! i could eat ice chips all day long in fact i dream about it!....im staring to worry im going to break my teeth...So at this last appointment i was told I was anemic....hence the chomping on ice...Also I have been positive i must be measuring bigger than what i should be....Sure enough i was so we are doing an ultrasound next Monday to be sure i've not got extra fluid...im not really sure what it would mean if i do....I would normally be excited about any opportunity to see my baby...but am realizing this is all but another BIG TEMPTATION in peaking at the sex....must stay strong...I only have little ways to go but im Still ever curious~! any ways we'll see how things go.

So i also got tagged so i need to respond to that so here it goes!
