I have had lots of contractions and menstrual-like cramping in the last 24 hours. I am one uncomfortable mama-to-be. In fact, I slept most of the day today just so I could bear them. I didn't feel like doing much (though I finished writing out my to-do list and my shopping list for the baby preparations, so if I can't get those things done, someone else can). Earlier this week I planned to take my little field trip today, but because of the contractions, I opted to stay home in bed. We'll take the field trip tomorrow or Saturday and go to a restaurant and to pick up our Pack N' Play. I know . . . I'm a dud, my first chance to really go out, and I chose to stay here and keep laying on my left side. But I just didn't want to push my luck with these contractions and being slightly dilated already. I hope the contractions are not really doing anything and won't get more regular. I'll be taking an Ambien in a few minutes so I can get through the night and hopefully relax my uterus a little bit and stop these contractions. 34 1/2 weeks is great, but I'm getting greedy and going for 37. While I know there are many people with bigger concerns than we have, between the preterm labor and J's job interview tomorrow, we'd appreciate your prayers.

Praying for you.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, momma & baby boy!
ReplyDeleteWill do.
ReplyDeleteThank you, everyone, for your prayers. Contractions have already calmed down a little, and I know we're hanging in there because of prayer.
ReplyDeleteTake care. Very thankful he has stayed in there this long.
ReplyDeletePraying for you.........
ReplyDeleteYour baby is such a diva! I'm glad he's learning patience at an early age . I will also pray for J's interview. Tell him to wear a tuxedo.
ReplyDeleteJ wore a suit and all his co-workers gave him crap about it. He said it went pretty well, though. I think you're right, this baby loves drama. Contractions are present, but they're not doing much, so I'm just gong to be one of those women who is in labor for weeks before the baby comes. But I can live with that. I'd still like him to have some more time.
ReplyDeleteTalk to him and let him know he will be much cosier in there until March...then he can have his Birth Day!
ReplyDeleteI'd love a St. Patrick's baby but I could live with a Valentine's also. Makes sit easier for me to remember b dates!!!
