BABY-Q Fun!!!

We had our BABY-Q yesterday with some family and friends. Everyone had a good time. The kids swam in the pool the whole time and wore themselves out. I sat in a chair and everytime I started to get up someone yelled and made me sit back down. We received some needed items for this new arrival and everybody was very generous. We appreciate having such great friends.
At my appointment on Friday things have progressed some more. Now I am 75% effaced, so therefore she said I am still on bedrest. This baby has to stay cooking until 37 weeks. I am 35 weeks and 4 days today. Hopefully this misery will only last a week and a couple of days more. It is not easy being forced to sit and lay for hours on end. My husband has been a blessing and doing everything for me and Peyton. He is now trying to rush and finish the babies room since obviously we do not have the time we thought we did.

34 Weeks 2 days and now on strict Bed Rest.

Went to my regular check up yesterday and mentioned some complications I thought were minor but landed me on strict 24 hour bed rest. Having contractions and already dilated and effaced more than 50%. This baby wants out but she is too early so here we are laying and sitting in a reclining position until scheduled date on October 16th. I hope we can keep her in until at least 37 weeks. We definently were not prepared for this or for her to come early. Tyler is now taking on everything. I guess he will learn to cook and do things around the house he is not used to doing. The main issue is Peyton. I cannot get up and go anywhere or play with her except on the couch. Now the scramble is on to get our house prepared since we thought we had a few more weeks.

33 weeks today and counting down

Today is week 33. This baby is coming in 6 weeks via scheduled delivery. If she decides to come a little early I will not mind. I think we will have to put her in some sort of dance classes because this kid has got some moves. She loves to be under my ribs and kick my hips all the time. I am getting anxious to see her and I wonder if she will have blonde peachfuzz and blue eyes like her sister when she is born. Our little Peyton, now 3, still is a toehead like her Daddy was until teenage years. She loves to tell people she has blue eyes like her Daddy and Mommy does not have blue eyes. She is starting to understand a little more about how Mommy is going to be going to the hospital to have the baby soon. The hard part for her and I will be the fact that we have never been apart like this before. She will have to go home without me for a few nights until I am released. Her and Daddy will be on their own. I am sure they will manage. I wish they had hotels specifically for birthing and families. That would be ideal so we do not have to be seperated.
