35 Weeks





Hi everyone, so it has been a while because we had some unexpected action at 33 weeks.  I was admitted to the hospital for 4 days because I was having contractions and in premature labor.  I was given Magnesium Sulfate through an IV to stop contractions.  After my contractions had stopped I was released and sent home on bed rest.

Daniel took two weeks off to be home taking care of Lola while I laid down and relaxed. Daniel's mom also came out for a few days to help with the work load.  It was hard to not be able to take care of Lola, but I am now 35 weeks and 1 day and haven't had the baby which is great news.  He is big enough now that if he is born he has great chances of being healthy.  Lola was born at 36 weeks and is wonderfully healthy so we can only hope for the same this time around.

I have been 3 cm dilated and 90% effaced for 2 weeks now so we will see if I have progressed at all when I have my doctor's appointment tomorrow.  I am feeling great though and Daniel is back to work so maybe he will stay in for a bit longer.

We will keep you updated on the progress and really appreciate all of the well wishes and support!

Lots of Love from all of us!

Yay! You are almost to the 36 week mark and Finn is on the inside. The pictures are great, Lola is so cute and always impeccably dressed ;) We love you guys very much and will miss you over Christmas. Can't wait to meet that little guy - sounds like the good news will come any day now!
